The Great Cumberland.

Montana, surprising all other states in
is attracting a large number of thoroughly
trained and skilled miners. Among the
number who have cast their lot with US
within the past few years, is Mr.. Bernard
Mcdonald. He has followed mining for
the last sixteen years, first in California
and Nevada, then Colorado. In Leadville
he was superintendent of the famous
Little Chief mine. Afterwards he man
aged and operated mines in old and new
Mexico. Hearing of the wonderful mineral
resources of this state, he came to inspect
them, and was so we'll satisfied that he CON
cluded to remain. He is now the superin-
tendent of the famous Cumberland mine of
Castle.
In answer to the question, "What have
you to say regarding the mines under your
charge and that of the mineral deposits of
the district!' he said:
1.-The mines of the Castle district are very
similar to those of Leadville. The mineral
lied area of both is about the same. In
fact, | never saw in any mine in the famous
carbonate camp of Colorado, such a Won
derful showing of ore as we have in the
Cumberland. In it, the ore bodies are self
fuxlng. Now bear this in mind. This is
something that is seldom found to be the
case with mineral bodies"
"What have you to say with reference to
tue uoleFOplueulS Oh tle cumberland!
well, III answer TO your Question,
would say that we are now ready
to deliver all ore that may be needed by
OR new sixty-ton smelter through the new
three compartment shaft. You know that
this new shaft on account of its position near
the base of the hill, at Il depth of 800 feet
connected on the 5O0-foot level by a tunnel,
which is 445 long. Only last week it was
finished. We are now running raises in the
seventy-foot ore body or the 5O0-foot level,
preparatory to stopping. While extending
the southwest drift on this level the other
dav, we struck one of the finest deposits of
almost pure lime that | ever saw. 1t CON
talns tlree-tenths of one per cent. of mag
nesia, and no silica. For fuxing purposes
1t is jus. the thing, as we can increase the
per cent. of mineral to the charge.
"Our smelter vii! begin operation inside
of the next twenty days. What has DELAYED
US, is the bad roads occasioned by the
thawing of the snow"
"Wnat are the prospects of Castle be-
coming a large place?'
Why it can't help it. The mines exist
in the immediate locality. Leadville, when
! resided there, had 10000: Castle only
claims l,2O0. It would not surprise me il

by A SWEEPING MAJORITY.

Fridays Altd says: Sin the Assembly
yesterday the Republicans voted. by a
sweeping majority, to table Gould's motion
to take up the Ballot-reform Bill. In all
likelihood this settles ballot reform for tins
session at least, for all the Republican
leaders, except Speaker Coombs, VINO
lodged, voted to table the motion.
The Alta has stated an isolated fact cor
rectly The Republicans in the Assembly
did vote by sweeping majority to table
Gould's motion to take up the Ballot-reform
Bill. But this vote, under the existing cir
cumstances, has no significance whatever.
Mr.. Dibble. who as Chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee, is leader OF the
House. had moved TO take up the Ballot
reform Bill on Monday. In voting to tab Ie
Gould's motion the Republicans simply fol-
lowed their leader. Ii Mr.. Dibble had
moved to indefinitely postpone consideration
of the bill Republicans who favor it would
have been justified in voting against DID
ble's motion. The Senate bill will come up
in the Assembly on Monday, and there Is
reason to hope that it will pass by sweep
inc majority,

MUST PAY TAXES.

For some years the Southern Pacific Rail
road Company has held some ten million
acres of land without paying taxes on it,
The company held that the lands were not
taxable until United States patent was
issued. The company took its own time in
taking out patents Its ownership of the
land was held to be complete for all pur-
poses except payment of taxes. Its title
was good enough to justify sale, but not
good enough to warrant recognition of the
right of the State to regard the lands as be-
longing to any other party than the Federal
Government AS Government lands cannot
be taxed by States the railroad company
has evaded taxation. Attorney General
Hart has disturbed this anomalous condi-
ton Of things by an opinion that lands
which the railroad company sells are as
sessable whether patents have been issued
on them or not. If the lands sold by the
railroad company are sssessable, other lards
held by the company by the same title are
also assessable. If this opinion is sustained
surprise is in store for the Southern Pa
cihe Company. 1t may really know how it
feels to pay taxes

THE NEW MINISTER TO CHINA.

The people of California VIII not feel
much elation over the nomination OF
Senator Blair as Minister to China. The
section of the country from which Mr.. Blair
halls has not contributed many votes to
measures designed to exclude Chinese. The
public men of that section have never
seemed capable of understanding why
the Chinese should not be put on the same
ground as other immigrants. Mr.. Blair has
signified his intention 20 stop a day or two
in San Francisco if he should conclude 70
accept the appointment. The Suez route is,
of course, open to him; but he thinks the
American route the proper one to take. 1t
is quite likely that Minister Blair will not
have much to do as mediator between the
United States and China. The Chinese are
said to be displeased at the action OF the
American Congress in passing an excursion
law, in some respects disrcgardlng the pro
visions of an existing treaty IL Is no.

WHAT BALLOT REFORM WILL DO.

p Commenting upon the lack of confidence
in law-making bodies in general, and the
present California Legislature in particular,
the dlta says: 1T has also become the
fashion to sheer and jibe at the Legislature
without rhyme or reason. This has driven
all desire to serve in the Legislature from the
minds of sensitive men and has generated =
recklessness in the minds of legislators" 1t
will be admitted that the position of thor
CUghly honest man in the Legislature is at
tended with difficulties. In some cases an
honest conviction will be miscOnstrued. a
vote given with the sole desire to benefit the
public viii in cases be attributed TO unwor-
thy motives. Ii a sack" is reported as in
circulation an honest member takes some
chances in voting with the sack. " even if
lie has seen none of its contents. 1t cannot
always be said that no good measure is ever
supported by a sack. So long as "cinch"
bills are introduced into legislative bodies
there will be men who think the lesser Of
two evils is to buy the corrupt voters off.
But tie member who did not want to be
bought HHds hsna in the list of ayes and
noes mixed in with the names OF men who
lie has every reason to believe voted for a
consideration. Under our present method
of nominating legislators aspirants ara re-
Quired 10 consult the managers Of their party.
If the aspiTant shows that he is honest in
dependent and able. he is informed indi-
rectly that the managers have no use for
such men. They want men they can use
The aspirant is not, perhaps, required to
pledge his vote on all minor matters, but
great care is taken that only men are passed
through conventions who will follow iu-
structionS on questions of the first import
ance. At present an honest, able and indie
pendent aspirant has little chance of a nom
inatiOn. If he finds friend who will nomi-
nate him in convention be has the mortifca-
ton OF seeing the body of his party vote for
the slate candidate. If he appeals to the
public as an independent candidate he has
TO encounter the sentiment of loyalty to the
party. Voters viii say it is pity such a
man cannot BE- elected and vote the regular
ticket. The Ballot-feferm Bill the House
Will vote on on Monday provides a way by
which honest and Independent candidates
may stand an even chance with the conven-
ton candidate. A small percentage Of the
voters may place the name of such man on
the official list and the voter may vote for it
without prejudice to his party standing. If
there are not honest men elected under such
conditions it will be the fault Of the voters.
When once we elect 4 Legislature of the
right kind the political atmosphere will be
purified. There will be no use for the lobby,
which now does so much to create the i'm
preston that every legislator has his price
"Ctnch" bills will not be considered. The
presumption will be in favor OF integrity.
These reforms would induce class of men
to aceept nominations to the Legislature
who under present conditions will nethor
make terms with managers nor hold a seat
in a Legislature majority of whom owed
their election to managers

MILLS OF TEXAS.

Congressman Mills Of Texas has peculiar
IDEAS of reciprocity. He does not think
Ir. Blaine is going to work the right way.
If reciprocity is wanted" says Mr. Mills.
why not negotiate with England, France
and Germany?" The Texas statesman
seems to regard reciprocity as a commodity.
If bale of cotton or ton of wheat is
wanted the commodity would be sought in
the cheapest market Why not seek re-
ciprocity in the same way? In selecting
Brazil and other South American countries
to make reciprocal trade arrangements with
Congress was influenced by the fact that
they produce articles we need. The neces-
slty Tor these articles is so urgent that
nearly all their products are on the Ameri-
can free list. But trade statistics show that
several Of these nations do not purchase of
the United States TO any considerable ex-
tent. The reciprocal arrangements we have
entered into with them are in substance
that to continue to enjoy The free market
we have given their products, they must
make such stipulated changes in their sew
eral tariffs as will enable us to sell goods in
their markets. Nations which do not think
it worth while to make the required conces-
sionS will be deprived of the free market
their products have been afforded. Turning
HOW W rIaHcei EnRlanu anu Germany, what
products do we find that we necessarily inn
port? Almost everything they send us
comes in Greet competition with our own
industries. No one of these countries ex-
ports raw material to any considerable ex-
tent They send US finished goods in the
making of which cheaper labor than our
own is employed, and if we were to pro-
pose reciprocity with them the favored
articles would necessarily be their surplus
manufactures. reciprocity with European
countries womb therefore mean lower
duties on articles we are engaged in
producing. Reciprocity with South Amer
lean countries means discrimination in
favor OF natural products which we must
import from some source in return for dis.
examination on their part in favor of articles
OF which we produce surplus. The United

Valuables Found by Scavengers Near
Meiggs Old Wharf.
There was great excitement yesterday
among the scavengers who daily congregate
to rake over the refuse dumped near Melggs
old wharf when it became known9that some
of their number had made quite a haul An
Italian scavenger named Zunio found in one
of the heaps of dirt $50 gold piece, cameo
ring and an emerald Cross. Tho cross was
evidently Knight Templqr bSdge.T The
news soon spread, and crowd soon gath
cred and began to rake over the rubbish.
One boy found a dollar, another picked up
fifty-cent piece of 1864, while a third secured
gold earring.
Up to few months ago all the refuse from
the principal hotels was dumped in the
neghborhood of the wharf, and it is said
that some very valuable finds have been
made by those who daily pick over the
dumps. One man is said to have found
pair of diamond earrings that lie sold for
$780, while several scayengers are known to
have become comparatively rich by the sale
of valuable articles they have found while
pursuing their unSavory occupation.

that the feeling of the French against Ger
many is as intense as ever. 1t will also, IN
