PABRANAGAT LAKE MINING Els

Some Prospecting stu Going on and
Good Future Before IL.

Pahranagat Lake Mining District, 60
miles west OF here, is still heard from,
though the boom looked for two years
ago has so far failed to materialize, on
account OF the cessation of work by the
U. Z. folks on their road But the few
nervy prospectors still left in the dis.

section and propose to see it come.

Sharp Jr., i, coming into prominence.
The mine was bonded Las year to
Messrs. Barber and Silvia for six months,
who prepared to work it but ended with
cleaning out the old drift and shaft,
when they threw up the bond aud left.
Since then Sharp has worked the claim
and now has a nice vein of ore expost
and the mine is withdrawn from the
market. On this claim, at the end of a
l25 foot cut and drift, wioze is sunk
some 60 feet on the ledge. Thirty feet
down, drift runs west 10 feet, showing
20 inches of high grade ore. At the
bottom of the Wine, drifts run east and
and west The east drift is in 10 feet,
where Is inches of ore running 200 OF.
in silver per ton is seen. The west DRIFT
is in 80 feet, and the whole face is ore
and has been for the last eight feet
This ore runs so ozs. in silver per ton.
There are 20 tons Of ore Oh the dump
and 20 more in the mine ready to hoist.
This will be sorted down to about eight
tons, to run about $50 ozs. per ton,
which will be shipped to Salt Lake. The
balance will remain on the dump until a
better market offers, On account of the
distance nothing much under so OF. ore
will pay to ship from that district.

AFRAID OF THE TARIFF.

The Republicans evade discussion Of
the tariff. In Ohio and Massachusetts
they try to keep that question out of
sight and prefer to discuss the financial
question. In New York they will run
before it and insist upon appealing to
the people to elect Fassett because Tam
many was responsible for Chicago get
ting the Worlds fair. Anything be-
fore the tariff.
Even Mr.. Mckinley, the father of
the tariff law as it now stands, lacks
the courage to defend his offspring
when it is assailed by Democratic weap-
ons. A few weak words of apology,
and then he flies to the discussion of
the silver question.
Governor Russell OF Massachusetts
challenged Henry Cabot Lodge, the
leading Republican debater of that
state, to a joint campaign of discussion
of political questions. Mr.. Lodge &C.
cepted the challenge-on condition that
the discussion was to be confined to the
silver question, and that the tariff ques-
ton should be excluded.
The Republicans know their weak
ness, and they are afraid OF the people.
They have carried out the directions
of the manufacturing monopolists in
the increase of the tariff, and now they
are afraid to face the people who are
taxed to pay this tariff to the manu-
facturer. 1t is small wonder that they
want to talk OF something else than the
tariff,

Governor Gibbs writes to TIE GA
zETTE in behalf OF Mr.. Cole, the sub
treasury member of the Dallas county
Democratic executive committee, who
was invited to retire. The governors
letter does not betray very ardent en-
thusiasm for Mr.. Cole, but the point is
adhered to that the Democratic COM
mittee had nothing to do with Mr..
Coles Democracy. The party ap-
pointed him TO the committee, and the
other members Of the committee could
have nothing to say in removing him.
Perhaps" says Governor Gibbs,
there were, as claimed, good reasons
why Mr.. Cole should not be member
of the committee, but these reasons
were not assigned, and the members of
that committee were not the proper
judges, as he held no credentials from
them.n
Then we take it that Governor Gibbs
holds that there is nothing to be done
to Gust traitor from the party coun-
ellis. Perhaps there were good rea-
sons" for the deposition of Mr.. Cole,
but with ever so good reasons the COM
mittee had no power to act, is the ar
gument of Governor Gibbs and those
who hold with him. Even though a
member Of that committee should go,
soul and body. over to the Republican
party, and cease to be a Democrat,
there is no way to keep him out OF the
Democratic executive committee.
Though he should enter upon an active
campaign with the enemies of Democ-
acy, and do all in his power to over
throw that party, he is still member
of the executive committee, and may
as such enter into the secret councils OF
the party that he may be plotting to
betray, and there is no way to get rid
of him.
We do lot say that Mr. Cole is plot
ting to betray the Democratic party,
but we only use this as an illustration
of the effect of Governor Gibbs argu-
ment that the county executive COM
mittee cannot expel a member of that
body who suffers ''change of heart"
and goes over to the enemy.
The position is not at all tenable, and
we do not wonder that such Democrat
as Governor Gibbs should speak so
feebly in its behalf.

ADRIAN, Mo-, Oct. lAEKansas is not
the only state which can show woman's
ability to care for herself, for there is a
farm near this place where two unmarried
women carry on the whole business of the
place and have no men about at any season
of the year. Miss Sallie ord Miss Polly
Brundige have forty acre farm about ten
miles west of this place, and they have
been caring for it for the past nine years,
and during that time they have never had
the assistance of man. AL the work has
been done by the two women, with the ex-
ception of having another woman to help
them during the time they were gathering
their corn. They raise no wheat nor other
small grain, but have an orchard and corn
field. while they devote most of their atten-
ton TO raising chickens and bees. They
plant thirty acres Of corn every year and
attend to II entirely, doing the blowing and
gathering.
Miss Sallie is the business man Of the
place and while attending to the work in
the field always wears the clothing Of
man. She drives to town as often in mans
clothing as in that OF woman and has no
hesitancy in saying that some day she will
entirely discard dresses. This year the
two ladies have crop Of corn which WHY
average seventy bushels to the acre. In AZ
dition to this they have over thous5kd
chickens and large number Of turkeys4ud
ducks, which they think will clear them
for the years work not less than two dhou-
sand dollars. The ladies keep up WITH the
times and take several agricultural pahrs
as well as one daily, and are probably ~

q healthy but cautious work IN increasing

although there are three months of the

that the total for 1891 will fall below 5000

less than at the same time in 1890. when
the total for the year reahced nearly 513S

has not fallen as low as 5000 miles since

and in 1854 it was less than 1900 miles:
while in the series of six years from 1873 to

Public Highways.


The question of substantial public high
ways Is exciting interest in every part Of
the state, and this will be one Of tie chief
matters of discussion at the numerous
farmers meetings which have been ar
ranged by the state board of agriculture.
One thing should not be overlooked. and
that is the strict limit of the power of
county courts to levy taxes for road pur-
poses. The constitution fixes 10 cents on
the 800 valuation US a maximum amornt
that can be levied, and it will not be s.
puted that in a majority Of counties in ne
state the levy is insufficient. Twice the
legislature has submitted an amendment to
the constitution authorizing county courts
to increase the levy TO ID cents on the 500
in counties where the same is deemed
necessary, but each time the amendment
was defeated, and principally BY the vote
from the agricultural part of the state.
Good roads cost money, and but Very
little improvement need be expected until
county courts have the power to increase
the general levy. IN some counties the
people have constructed roads by private
subscriptions, but this is an unsatisfactory
method, as many will not pay unless they
are compelled to do so.
Farmers reap more benefits from good
roads than any other class of citizens. No
one wants farm in an inaccessible locality,
while one near good road is always desir-
duIt. II Is very Important tuaI lhlS matter
should be made the leading feature of the
farmers institutes. 1t is more important
than experimental farming, which, under
the most favorable circumstances, fire.
quently proves costly disappointment. All
the farmers know that corn, wheat, oats,
hay land cotton in some localities) consti-
tute the chief products of Missouri soil, and
the farmer who does not understand the
culture and care thereof had better quit
farming. But good public roads are very
scarce in the state, and the subject of secur-
ing the same is of sufficient Importance 10

again and again. 1t is noticed that every
one of the members of the Legislature draws
his mileage, though all are provided with
free passes.
An effort is being made in the city coun-
Gil of Chicago to limit the height of build
/ iugs. 1t is urged that buildings over 100
feet high are not safe. Property owners
on the West side" hope limit will be
fixed, as the building OF very high struc-
lures tends to keep the business Of the city
on the South side," while the southslders
are disposed to resent the proposed nnlita-
ton as an Interference with their rights to
the sky.
The center of silk culture in Japan is said
to be Shinshore, located near the middle of
the main island. There are about 2000
square miles in the province, and every
body in it seems to be in some way engaged
in sericulture. The houses appear to be
entirely given up for the time being to the
silkworms, and the inmates TO be solely de-
voted to their rearing, feeding and cleaning.

CAN a preacher own fast horse? 1t
seems that in Iowa Methodist
preacher must be careful about how
fast his horse goes. The name of w.
Z. Bacon of Sabula has been stricken
from the Upper Iowa conference. Some
iiine ago the Rev. Mr.. Bacon bought a
IL horse for $50. He had it profession
ally trained, and it developed so much
speed and quality that he sold it for
$500. With part Of this money he
bought another good horse and placed
it in training. 1t was entered in some
local trots and won some money. 1t is
now recorded in the 2:37 class. MIR.
Bacon was admonished some time ago
to stop horse racing. He failed to heed
the warning. At conference, learning
that he would have to sell his stable
or withdraw from the ministry, he
chose the lattsr, and at his own request
was droppea. The Iowa Methodists
ought t9Eetine limit TOR the speed OF
q preachers horse. so that he will know
gust Now far to go.
