MINERS AND MINING

Southwestern Stockman From w. T. Cooper, who was in town Thursday from Dos CabeZas, we learn that the mill will start up shortly, and lively times will again return to that camp.
 While searching for gold and silver in the Cascade range, Washington, pros- pector stumbled on a ledge of crystal quartz suitable for making glass. Ac- cording to specimen, it's percentage of metal substances is very low. One ton of it would produce only twenty-one cents worth of gold, but prospectors have searched in vain for that quartz along the coast.
 MT. George Blaine, who has been working on the Cleveland mine in the Lone Star district for three or four weeks, was in Solomonvile Tuesday. He is taking out ore steadily and of ex- cellent quality, some of it equal in rich ness to that taken out and shipped by MT. Walker eighteen months ago, which netted about Sl90 ton. Mir. Blaine expects to make shipment of ore in about three weeks. He is practical miner and expresses himself as well pleased with the appearance and iorma- sioh VT i<OhS pbai uislliIls lutit are several men now at work on prop erties there.

The Extent of Seismic Phenomena.

Because of recent shocks in the Missis- sippi valley the papers of that region have begun discussion of the question, "How deep does the earth quake" An interest ing case cited has to do with the big shake up of 1879, when at Virginia City, New, says the St. Louis Republic, the earthquake was not noticed by the miners in the deeper portions of the Comstock mines. The famous earthquake at the same place in 1874, which shook down chimneys, fire walls, etc., and cracked every brick building in the city, was mere ly noticed by some of the miners working in the "upper levels" but did them no damage, not even shaking down loose rocks and earth. The station men in the various shafts felt 1t strongest, and the deepest point where it was noticed was by the ninth station man, who was on watch at the 900 foot level, which Is of course 900 feet below the surface. He said 1t felt like faint throb or pulsation of air, as though blast had been fired above, below or in some indefinite direction. In some of the Virginia City mines the shock was not felt at all, not even by station men in the shafts.

AGENCIES,

From President Harrlson's Message: "The legislation ot Congress for the repression of poYgamy has, after years of resistance on the part of the Mormons, at last brought them to the conclusion that resistance Is am profitable and unasaiIlng. The power of Con. gross over thls subject should not be sur rendered until we have satisfactory evidence that the people of the state to be created would exercise the exclusive power of the state over thls subject In the same way. The question Is not whether these people TOW obey the law of Congress against poly. gamy, but rather would they make, enforce and maintain such laws themselves if abso. iuteIy free to regulate the subject. We can not afford to experiment with this subject, for when state Is once constituted the act Is final and any mistake irretrelvable. No com pact In the enabling act could, in my opinion, be binding or effective"

A GOOD IDEA.

President Harrison has addressed a note to the heads of the various depart ment of the government suggesting that they consider whether record might not be kept in each bureau of all those elements that are covered by the terms "faithfulness" and efficiency" and a rating made showing the relative merits of the clerks of each class, this rating to be regarded as a test of merit in making promotions.
 The idea is an excellent one, and sug. gests the conscientious care this admin istration has always taken in bringing public. affairs up to the highest standard. There is no getting away from the fact that President Harrison has thus far been one of the ablest, cleanest and most efficient.

MARX TWAIN, who went to Berlin re- gently, has been the object of great in terest to the people of Germany's capi- tai. His portraits have been printed in the daily and weekly papers; long articles upon his life and works have been written, and numerous accounts have been given of his fabulous wealth. Twain's works have long been translated into the German language. The humor- ist is popular in the Fatherland, and no people appreciate more deeply and sincerely his essay upon the German language than Germans familiar with the English tongue.

CONGRESSMAN BURROWS, of Michigan, made a brilliant talk the other day in the Hon. Thomas Reed as the Republican choice for speaker of the house. It was an empty honor, of course, as the Democrats have it about their own way this trip, but it is pretty safe to say that there would be much more harmony in the rsuks of Dem ocracy today if circumstances had made Reeds election possible.

KEEPING 1T QUIET.

The Farmers Alliance Still In Executive
Session.
The Executive Committee OF the Farmers
Alliance continued its session yesterday,
and during the forenoon listened to a dele
cation from the white boot and shoe max
ers of San Francisco, who explained at
some length the differences existing be-
tween shoes made at home by white labor,
those made at home by Chinese labor and
Eastern-made goods. After careful hear
ing the following resolution was adopted:
ResolUed, That after listening to the statement
OF a committee from the white labor boot and
shoe makers of San Francisco we hereby recon-
mend an early conference with our State busI-
ness manager In order TO settle the preliminary
steps necessary 10 be taken under his direction.
We VIII use all reasonable measures to aid in eX.
tending the work and influence of the white
labor boot and shoe makers Of the State.
This matter having been disposed of, an
other resolution was adopted providing for
the incorporation of the State Executive
Committee in order to give it standing be-
fore the law.
During the afternoon a number of mat
tiers were variOusly discussed without ar
irving at any definite conclusion, and at 4
o'clock visit was made to the Mechanics
Pavilion for the purpose of seeing an exhi-
bltion OF process for separating the fibers
of the ramie plant, which Mr.. Shinn is urg-
log the farmers to grow in this State.
At the evening session, which was held in
Room 50 of the Lick House, the greatest
secrecy was observed, and DOthing could be
asrertained as to the nature OF the subjects
under discussion. Secretary Poundst0ne
was seen at the conclusion of the meeting,
and said that a number of matters con-
nected with the good of the order had been
under consideration. What they were he
declined to say.

MORTALITY REPORT.
Deaths and Their Causes for the Mont
of December, 1890.

Deaths and Their Causes for the Month
of December, 1890.
From the circular issued by the State
Board Of Health for the month of D ecem-
Der, 1890, just to hand, il is learned the num-
Der of deaths in the State was 1876 out of
an estimated population Of IA, 1G9. OF these
deaths 169 are attributed to consumption,
40 to pneumonia, IS to bronchitis, to con-
gestiun Of the lungs, 9 to diarrhea and
dysentery, is TO diptheria, 3 to: smallpox,
TO whooplng cough, 81 to typhoid fever, 81
to heart diseases and % to alcoholism.
The monthly percentage of deaths was
! 81 per thousand or an annual mortality of
20.O4, which is higher death rate than
that of the preceding month, and the highest
death rate the State has had since January
of last year, when influenza was epidemic.
The increased death rate, the report says,
was owing to the increase and fatality Of
diseases of the respiratory organs, including
diphtheria and Group The three deaths
from smallpox all occurred in this city.
In concluding its report the State Board
Of Health says: We desire this month to
call the attention Of every Health Officer to
the necessity of having all premises con-
tanning or having contained cases Of infec-
tious disease properly fumgated and disn-
fected under their supervision, and TO dis
courage or, if possible, forbid the holding
Of public funeral in every case of scarlet
fever or diphtheria. Day by day we are
called upon to record cases of disease con-
tracted in this way. a general law should
be passed making 1t penal offense to fail
flag or notice, of the presence of communica-
tive disease, and any one holding a public
funeral where the cause Of death is in
fSctiye should be severely punished.

The American Record Lowered at the
OIynpian Rink.
An immense crowd Of skaters aud specta-
tors were present last night at the Olympiau
Club Rink, in the Mechanics Pavilion,
mainly to see the one-mile race for the
championship of America between belmont
and Snowden, the former champion. The
rink was comfortably filed with yGtaries of
the eXhilarating and pleasant sport until 9
O'clock, whed the floor was cleared for the
race. Every seat and bench was then
packed with interested spectators.
Both men showed up in good form, Snow
den apparently being IN the PINK of racing
trim, and belmont looking fit and well
trained. The race between them was for
$500 stakes and bet OF 500 a side. 1t
proved TO be highly interesting, aud very
exciting toward the finish.
The track Is eight laps to the mile, and an
extra lap was made to give the racers 4
flying" start. SnowdeE took first plare
and went around the track like flash, Del
mont keeping at his heels until the fourth
lap was about half run, when he shot ahead
and held his place until Snowden put on a
pretty squirt in the middle Of the sixth lap
and passed Delmont Just as both men
were reaching the goal in the seventh lap
DelmGut doubled himself ana slid out in
front. He kept ahead half of the last lap
but Snowden again spurted and came close

ment Fund is greatly overdrawn, but the
members of the committee took the view
that for want of just such equipments fire
might at any time destroy more than the two
companies would cost for twenty years. a
great deal was expected Of the department
and it should be better equipped.
