The NUGGET heartily wishes it could
put more faith in the Nampa and Silver
City railroad enterprise. If the pro-
moters of the proposed road had shown
more practical ideas in laying out a
route, or had taken more care to ascer-
tain what would be the best route to se-
cure trafc for their proposed road, we
might believe more in the sincerity OF
their purpose. But although Mr.. Wick
ersham, who came to Owyhee to report
upon the prospects of securing traic,
spent nearly fortnight in Silver City,
a drive down to DeLamar and an hours
visit here, was apparently all the con-
sideration he gave to the prospects OF
DeLamar business. Furthermore it is
conceded that the objective point of any
railroad into this county would natur.
ally be South Mountain, which is prac-
tically as near the Oregon Short Line as
it is to Silver City. If it be true that
the promoters of the road own several
thousand acres of land under the ditch.
es in the vicinity of Nampa, We are o.
the opinion that the consummation Of
the sale of those lands will terminate
the proposed enterprise.

The cause OF the evil cannot be re-

This was Henry Ward Beecher's idea.
Another suggests that to make the
burden of taxation rest equitably on
rich and poor, an income tax shall be
paid, and that the revenue laws shall be
amended so that the rich cannot escape
their just share of taxation; that un-
used land shall be more heavily taxed

What is the Outlook?

Never in the history OF our republic
have the times been pregnant with re-
suits so threatening and alarming as the
present. In every nook and corner OF
The land, from The pine forests of Maine
to the prairies of Texas-from the rock
ribbed shores of Washington to the
everglades of Florida, spirit of unrest
pervades the people. The palladium OF
liberty--the constitution handed down
by the fathers-no longer possesses the
magical influence which has preserved
the republic for century. Disregard
for this sacred document is manifested
on every hand. The ballot, the potent
weapon of freemen, no longer expresses
the will of the people. Through the
manipulation of designing partisans, it
has become the tool of the assassin of
civil liberty, its sancity has been in
vaded, and its expressions are meaning
less. The judiciary no longer inspires
that feeling OF protection which charac-
terized it's decisions and utterances in
days of yore. The concensus of the
masses is, that we are no longer living
under government of the people, for
the people and by the people. Corrup-
ton, venality and prostitution stand
out in bold relief on every page of our
legislation for the last quarter of CEN
tury. These are the dying evidences of
L. u 1, ,,iut and t1plpoQ fh
ak be laid at the root of the tree, which
is bearing the fruitage Of evil, it will
not be long before we shall see the red
hand of rebellion in itR most dreadful
form rioting over the land.
The methods adopted in the recent
elections in Alabama, TO thwart the will
of the people at the ballot box, the mar
shalling of Pinkerton thugs in the min
ing districts of Pennsylvania to over
come labor, the mobilization of the Ten
nessee national guards ~ to crush hon
est labor into subsection to iniqutous
class legislation, are but few CT the
many indications which portend the
coming storm.
We are not alarmists we do not de-
sire to cause any undue apprehension
as to the safety of our republic, but we
do say that there must be change in
men and methods in our national affairs
and tha. right soon, or we will see this
country deluged in blood.-Southern

Best regards to ALL"

1t is all very we'll to talk about prac-
tical knowledge of mining being essen
tial to mine manager. 1t is necessary.
But there is something else quite as
n necessary. 1t is the commercial instinct
the care for the profit and loss side OF
the ledger. Mining is, or should be,
conducted to m axe money. 1t is trade,
profession and business. He who sue
ceeds in it in most cases combines
knowledge of mining and business a6il-
ity. Exceptional mining riches may
make a fool successful; but in most
cases a manager to be successful must be
a man who would succeed in any busi-
ness which requires brains, method,
economy and skill.-Mining Industry.

South Mountain.

i
| The reports coming from South Noun
tain continue to be more fattering every
week. The number of miners and pros
pectors over there is greater than al
any time before since the old collapse oil
years'ag The Union mine, belonging
to Messrs. Berry q Hunt, here the rich
gold ore is found which is claimed to be
telurium, is unquestionably proving a
bonanza. Parties who have seen it this
week declare it the finest thing they
have ever seen in the country. The
ledge in the face of the drift is now two
feet wide and eight inches of that is a
solid mass of the brilliant crystals which
run about 81, 500 in gold. The speci-
mens brought from this rich streak are
the color of polished steel 1; are masses
of small metallic crystals which sparkle
in the light like diamonds. Tiny quartz
crystals mixed with them add muck to
their beauty. Small specimens of them
are in great demand to be made into
pins and charms and for settings in jew
elry. Messrs. Berry & Hunt are now
preparing to ship a carload of this
precious mineral and we have no doubt
it will create sensation among ore
buyers when it reaches Denver, on ac-
count of the unique character of the ore
as well as from its commercial value.
The Union is one of a group of mines To-
Gated in the gulcb west of the old smell
ter site. The others in the gronp are
the Northern Bell, Liberty and El Cap
ilan. All except the 81 Captain were
worked to a small extent years ago.
The discovery of the telurium. if such
it prove TO be, was made in the Union
IN new tunnel running in an opposite
direction from the old tunnel.
The Summit and Fanny Hunt, two ad-
joining properties on the east side of
the gulch, belonging to Hunt & Adams,
are now being worked and are proving
rich in copper and lead carbonates and
silver galena. Galena has been sampled
from the Summit which runs sixty per
cent lead and one hundred and sixty
ounces silver. Some beautiful speci-
mems of peacock copper are being
shown from the Fanny Hunt. They are
nearly as handsome as the pretty child
after whom the mine was named.
The Banner mine, now the property
of M. F. Leech, is proving rich in silver
galena.
The Grand Central owned by Messrs.
Quayle & O'Keefe, one of the old mines
in The center of the camp, is now being
opened at a new point by the owners
with fattering prospects.
Ben Hastings famous old Golconda is
still idle, the owner apparently getting
rich fast enough in Silver City to not
care for little side issue like bonanza
mine.
