Parties owning properties on South
mountain have recently been doing
some work on them and have been
showing up some good ore. On the Lib
erty, Claim just west of the site of the
old smelter. ore has been struck which
assays one hundred and sixty ounces in
silver and sixty per cent lead. Speci-
mems show wire silver. The ledge is
fully eight feet between walls with three
feet of the kind of ore mentioned above
and the balance of the ledge mixed with
carbonates. This ledge lays between
porphyry and limestone. Another ledge
on an adjoining claim, shows almost
equally as we'll The Fanny Hunt, a
ledge located near the east summit,
shows eight feet of carbonate which, 1t
is claimed, will average fifty ounces in
silver. Some fifteen claims are located I
on the mountain upon which the assess
ment work has been kept up. The un-
doubted value of this district has been
proven but it heing smelling PROPOSE

county seems to be condition rcqui-
site to bringing these valuable proper
ties to the front.

THE COLUSA CANAL.
Large Amount of Work Done-The {

Large Amount of Work Done-The Con-
tract Nearly Finished.
sWm. Elliott, Sr., who has been at work
on contract to construct a part of the
great irrigation canal in Colusa County,
informs the Marysville Democrat that he
has not quite finished his contract but
concluded to suspend work till spring to
finish, as rainy weather would soon COM
pei suspension of work.
OF the present canal work, which ex-
tends from the Sacramento River above
Colusa at the Mcintosh Farm TO below
Williams, near the county line, a distance
of about forty-five miles, the work is now
complete, except at two points-one near
Stony Greek and the other in the Glenn
estate. These two pieces amount to about
00,000 cubic yards Of earth to be moved,
at an expense of about $50. 900, which, with
the right of way over part OF the Glenn
estate, $26, 600 is the estimated balance yet
to be expended to finish the work.
This will require about two months
time, and Contractor Elliott says it will
be finished and water running through
the whole length by July, 1892. The total
cost of forty-tiye miles, as per estimates
and contracts, is $750.00O, of which some
$500, 900 have been paid out in construc-
ton to the present time, leaving sufficient
of the original bonds to pay for the COM
pletion of the work. There is about fif-
teen miles more of canal, which it is in
tended will eventually be constructed to
complete the system as originally esti-
mated by Engineer Hall, which will cost
about 5000 and will be started next
wear.

The absurdity of Tryphena's shopping
operations brought to my mind forcibly
the questions: When man is elected, or
appointed, to any office in public SER
vice, why should his friends be required
to sign bond conditioned that he will
perform his duties faithfully? If man
IN public service proves recreant to his
trust, what justice is there in Furnishing
his former friends by heavy fines. i'm
posed through the medium of bond? If
the penalties for delinquency in office are
not severe enough to deter men from dis
honesty, why not make them more strin-
gent, and enforce them against culprits
instead of against innocent persons, and
if any loss occurs, let the public share it
equally? Why should man be held re-
sponsible for the actions of his friends?
Just TO hear how it would sound
jumped ap onto chair and yelled with
my loudest voice: WHY?
And presently there was an echo.
which seemed to come from the National
Capitol at Washington, in q tone so loud
that it nearly knocked me Off the chair:
WHY?
And i'll few moments more there was
host of echoes, which seemed to come
from the Capitols of every State in the
Union, in tones not quite so loud:
Why? Why2 Why? Why? WHY?
And shortly the air was plumb full of
echoes, which seemed to come from every
county, and town, and Postotfice, and

over the United States like the twitter of

Tryphena's Shopping Excursion.

EDS. RECoRD-UNION Tryphena has
gray hair, and | know by my own age
that she must be pretty well along in
years, but she came in with cheeks as
rosy and eyes as bright as though she
was maid of sixteen.
She had her arms full of packages and
her hands full of papers, which L sup
posed were bills. She laid her bundles
on the table and commenced sorting
them over, picking out papers and read
ing them carefully. Presently she turned
TO me and asked: "Old Crank, do you
know Mr.. Dry Goods friends, Mr..
Weelly and Mr.. Cotton?
Yes" I answered, II know them"
"Well," says she, ''are they good?"
Good? What do you mean, Tryphena? ?"
1 asked.
We'll" she says, ST bought me dress
to-day from Mr.. Dry Goods and I have a
bond which is signed by his friends, Mr..
Woolly and Mr.. Cotton, that the dress
shall suit me just as well six months or a
year hence as il does now."
l felt somewhat dazed, but / took the
bond and looked at it, and then picked
up the papers she had laid on the table
and looked at them, one by one, and
every one of them was a bond. There
was bond from Mrs. Milliner, and a
bond from Miss Dressmaker, and a bond
from Mr.. Shoemaker, and a bond from
Mr.. Crockery, and bond from Mr..
Butcher, and q bond from Mr.. Grocer, all
signed by their friends, and conditioned
that the articles purchased should give
satisfaction in the future, or prove Just
what they were represented to be.
Twas amazed, and said in quite stern
accents: 'Tryphena, do you mean to tell
me that you exact bond from every one
you purchase anything from, and make
their friends responsible for their honest
dealing?"
Certainly said she. "Do you think I
amt as smart as man. What are these
dealers doing but serving the public, and
don't you men make every one of your
public servants give bond, and make
their friends responsible for their hon
esty. and sometimes their capability, too?

Attorney General Hart Addresses the
Governor on the Subject.
Attorney-General Hart sent commu-
nication to Governor Markham on Sat
urday in reference to the proposed Glenn
County suit, but the Governor consid-
cred it of private nature and therefore
withholds it from publication.
1t will be remembered that about a
month ago Governor Markham, after
hearing arguments, decided to allow the
name OF the State to be used in a suit to
test the validity of the Glenn County Act.
This was after Attorney General Hart
had given an adverse opinion on the ap-
plication.
1t is understood that in his letter to the
Governor he gave many reasons in sup
port OF his former opinion and concluded
the epistle by declaring that he would
file complaint, but that the Governor
could shoulder.the responsibility.

MORE OF HIS WORK.
Deputy Alters Garroter is Wanted fl
ColuSa County.

Colusa County.
A telegram has been received at the
Sheriff's Office from Williams, Colusa
County, to the effect that "Cap.n Vickers,
alias Davis, the footpad who was captured
by Deputy Sheriff Alter last week, is
wanted at that place for burglary.
1t appears that he broke into a resi-
dence there and carried off about 50 and
some jewelry. When spoken to about
this matter Vickers acknowledged his
guilt.
Vickers, it will be rememb bered, was de-
tected by Deputy Alter while in the act OF
garroting man named Davis at Fourth
and L streets.
1t is not likely that the prisoner will be
sent back to Williams, the officers pre-
ferring to make a sure thing of it by
holding him for trial here.

very questionable. The Royal Company
seems to be shining mark for the on

can scarcely pick up a newspaper that

slanderous statement made against Royal
by the envious opposition. There has

Mr.. John James former resident
Of Mineral Point, and brother of Mrs.
P. Allen, ST., died at his home in
Appleton, on Tuesday morning, March
81, after an illness Of three days. The
Crescent of that city contains the fol-
lowing notice of his death:
Although having been a sufferer
from kidney complaint for some
time Mr.. James was in comparatively
good health until last Saturday after
noon when he was attacked with pleu-
risy. He began to mend rapidly and
was in such condition Monday that
his family thought he would be able to
be about as usual in few days. No
fears were entertained until late at
night when decided change for the
worse was apparent. A doctor was
called when it was learned that his
disease had developed in pneumonia.
He failed rapidly until seven o'clock
when dissolution occurred.
Mr.. James was carpenter and cabi-
net maker, and was familiar figure
upon the streets, His acquaintance
was very large and seemed to embrace
not only Appleton citizens, but those
throughout the county as well, and to
whom his sudden demise will prove a
cause of general regret. A wife and
four daughters survive him, and these
are nearly Frustrated by the terrible
misfortune that has befallen their lot.
Coming SO unexpectedly its shock was
thus made more severe, and almost be-
yOnd realization.

The first Juvenile Temple Institute
held in the 5th district, convened at
Platteyille on Thursday and Friday
April and B. The institute was well
attended nine temples out of the four
teen in the district being represented.
These Institutes are somewhat of an
experiment but the success of this one
has placed it as permanency in this
district. The temples represented were
from Dodgeville. Mineral Point, Oar
ington, Cobb, Montfort, Boscobel,
PlattevilIe, New Diggings and Fenni-
more.
The meeting was called at 1870
Thursday evening. The first session
being devoted to the reports from tenn
pies. Most of the temples in the dis
trict are comparatively new, but the
reports show that they are generally in
hourishing condition.
Friday mornings session was de-
voted to a model session for the pur-
pose of inStructing the children and
superintendent in the use of the
ritual, etc. After that came the ques-
ton box. y number of important
questions were asked relative to the
temple work, all of which were ,dtis-
factorily answered by district lecturer
E. 0. Taylor and acting supt. Alfred
Vivian
The Friday afternoon session was a
semi public and was devoted to a con
tinuation of the question box and a
neat program ofrecitations, music, etc.
Among the resolutions adopted was
one recommending the holding of a
Similar meeting at least once a year. A
resolution of thanks to Platteville
temple and one of regret that our D.
5. j. I. was not well enough to attend
the meeting, The following was also
adopted:
Whereas so few delegates from Sub.
lodges to District and Grand lodges
are acquainted with the Juvenile work
and, whereas we consider the actual
workers in the temple the best quail
fed to judge of the necessities of the
temple and the essential qualifications
of its officers, therefore be it
Resolved, that in the opinion of this
Institute, the District and Grand Sup
erintendents should be elected by the
delegates from the temples alone and
that the delegates from the several
temples in this district be instructed to
present this matter in favorable light
at the next sessions of the District and
Grand lodges.
Altogether it was very profitable
meeting and the interest was intense
throughout. Nine Superintendent and
over forty child delegates were present
and all voted it a decided help and
success. The time and place of the
next meeting is left to the discretion
of the D. S J. I. and District Lecturer.
