Of Judas Iscariot and James

Steamboatmen found an aged
couple living under a couple of
widths of rag carpet, suspended on
rough poles, on the bank of the
Ohio River few miles below Gal

STARTLING EXPERIENCE
OF A COMSTOCK EN-
GINEER.

"Baldy' Golden, one of the old
est Of our Comstock engineers,
once had an experience in the mid
die Of the night, about that hour
when dread things come up from
graves, which he will not forget
while the breath of life is in his
nostrils. Although a dozen years
have passed since Mr.. Golden had
his uncanny adventure, it still
occasionally causes him distress
ing dreams of the nightmare varie-
ty. "Baldy" was on duty at the
&C and C'' shaft of the Con. Cali
fornia and Virginia mine, when he
met with his midnight fright. He
was engaged in that part of the
works where stood the huge pump
ing engine and the big air com
pressor, which the miners had
christened "Old Eolus." All
alone he was attending to the
engine and machinery in the
basement of the main building and
was reached by flight of stairs
at the top OF which door opened
upon the main floor of the hoist
ing works.
Mr.. Golden was moving about
among the machinery when he
presently felt blast of cold air.
Looking up he saw that the door
at the head of the STAINS was partly
open. He ascended the steps,
closed the door, and returned to
his engine.
1t was not long before be again
felt the blast of cold air; it was in
the month of January and outside
the mercury WAS below zero.
Again Badly assembled the stairs
and closed and latched the door.
This time he made sure that the
door was properly latched, rs
before he thought 1t might have
been opened by the rafting of the
wind or the jar of the machinery
on the floor above.
Being sure the door was latched
he thought no more about it until
he again felt rush of cold air.
Looking up he saw that the door
was again open. Badly" this
time rushed up the stairs somewhat
wrathfully. Never before had the
door given trouble. "Baldy" was
so out of patience with 1t that
after latchlng it he gave it re-
kick before turning 10
leave it, crying, There, blast you,
open again, will youl"
He had just begun to look at his
and regulate this, that aud
the other little thing about the
great pumping engine, when he
again became conscious OF the chill
blast by which he had several
times before been disturbed. The
door was again partly open. 1t
had never before acted so, and IN
spite of himself he began to feel
that there was something unnatur-
a! about the business.
Somewhat reluctantly, Baldy
left his work and again started to
close the bewitched door. He had

PROSPECTING THE DESERT.
j. 9. Carrello, an old desert
prospector, tells the Los Angeles
Herald that there is no danger in
prospecting in Colorado desert if
one knows where the water holes
are. In speaking of the death of
the Breedloves and Fish, of San
Diego, he had the following to say:
"Only few rods from whore the
elder Breedlove's body was found
there is always running water In
Rock creek. Less than two miles
to the west is that beauty of
streams, Palm or Cantilles creek,
with It's lofty Palm trees, toward
which no was wandering his way,
but worn ont and famished, he fell
down and died in the shadow OF
great cantilles. Four miles to the
north of where he died is Beer
Springs. Six miles farther north
west are the famous soda and sui
phur Springs -Four miles still far

E! Paso, Tex, Aug. Is, 1892
In obedience to the will and in
structions of the southwest Silver
Convention and mass meetings ol
miners held in this oity, on tht
10Th, 10Th and 18th days of De-
cember, 1891, your executive and
subcommittee, charged with the
duty of perpetuatlng the annua
assemblage of the Southwest in e
Paso, do, in virtue of the authority
vested in them, announce that the
Second Annual Southwest Silver
convention and mass meeting oil
miners, will convene in Ell Paso
Dec 5, 1892, at 9 a. m.
The silver industry is at this
moment in critical condition
mines are closing down and the
further exploration and develop
ment of the mineral resources of
the Southwest have received a
serious check. During the past
twelve months the enemies of BIZ
metalIsm have been active, so
much SO that upon the 18th of
August. 1892, silver reached the
lowest figure IN its history S4l or
q cents above the estimated aver
age cost of production of the
ounce of silver in the South west
Still greater dangers threaten
the industry in the future, and, at
no time in the annals of silver
mining has it become more neces-
sary for those engaged in the in
dustry to organize and tai ke prompt
action to preserve their interests
and demand the restoration of a
system, that from the admlnlstra-
ton of George Washington until
the year 1873, WINS one of the in
fluences that made of the United
States the greatest and most pros
porous nation upon earth.
The restoration of silver to its
natural and traditional ratio of
value with gold 16 to l, will
engage the attention of the Second
Southwest Silver convention and
the attempted introduction of any
extraneous questions likely to
breed discord among the assem-
bled miners will be promptly sup
pressed by the presiding officer.
Miners ale urged to be present
upon the occasion and to otherwise
lend their assistance to cause
that now, if ever, requires friends
and advocates.

EDITOR HERALD The writer,
believing that wordy abuse accom-
plishes nothing good, but is only evil
in its effects, begs space to point out,
if lie can, some bad results OF tue
recent newspaper attacks OF this
kind on the officials of the old banks.
The HERALD is not the paper that
made these attacks. To DO this, 1t Is
not necessary to consider the guilt or
innocence of these officials, for if they
or any of them be guilty of wrong,
this repeated vituperation is neither a
legal nor an effective way to punish
them, nor to reimburse the creditors.
The newspapers articles to which l
refer do not name any particular per-
son, or persons rs guilty OF any par
ticular crime, but in general way
call on "sCmebody" to "disgOrge,"
threatening with courts and prosccu-
lions. The facts, if there ere 2Dy TO
form q foundation for this repeated
demand, are not given, save the state
meut that the banks failed, and that
some unnamed stakeholder drew
what is claimed to be unlawful divi-
dends, and that the creditors have not
been paid. These articles, then, seem
to teach that it is right to stab iudIs-
criminately at a crowd OF stock
holders, directors, and managers,
because it is SUSPECTED that some OF
the crowd have been guilty OF some
vet unnamed crime. The moral
effect of such teaching, is L think,
| bad. Every unnecessary Wound'
even to a criminal is wrong; and THIS
! is certainly unnecessary, since IL
does, and can accomplish nothing
| But the wrong does not stop here
The general way in which the charge
| -
of stockholders who were as unfortu
nate and as innocent as the deposi
tors; and if there were any sucf
innocent stockholders, (and wh'
doubts it?) the tendency OF the artl
cles il to injure them also.
| Moreover, from a business stand
uoiiIt, the effect of these articles j
bad. They destroy the confidence o
man in Enthusiastically weak Ough-
make men more suspecious OF eacl
other, and tend to stsgnate bushes
of every kind. Not all banks fail
nor even any large per cent OF them
aud bankers, as rule, are prob%DI.
"a honest as other men. Banks ar
necessary institutions; it is dlfllcult |
conceive of business prosperity with
ont them, aud the honest men caph
ole Of managing them are not al
daad. 1t is everywhere admltte'
that a business centre should hav
the best possible banking facilities
and that the character of its bank
largely determines the business pros
perItv of q community; but whe
The press persistentIy teaches tina
thew are not to be trusted, they mu
find existence precarious, and Tn
community suffer loss. Is 1t nc
t rather the duty OF the press to Pre-
g mote the establishment and supper

, two failures justify this wholesa'
j condemnation, in the face OF all tn
I, good they have done? THOMAS
