A curious box vas recently found AMID
the ruins Of Pompeii. The box was mar
BILE or alAbsster, about two inches
square and closely sealed. When opened
1t was found to he full Of pomatum or
grease. hard but very fragrant. The
smell resembles somewhat that Of the
rose, but Was much more fragrant.
What the perfume vas made OF canno,
he conjectured now, but II is singular
that men in the Nineteenth Century
should be able to regale their noses
with perfumes prepared in the First.

There are 4l3 species OF trees so;ind
within the limits Of the United States
and Territories, 10 OF which, when per.
fectly seasoned. will sink IN water. The
heaviest OF these is the ironwood. found
only in Southern Florida. which is more
than 80 per cent. heavier than water.
Texas and New Mexico, lands full Of
queer, creeping, crawling. walking and
inanimata things, are the home Of a
species Of oak which is about one and
one-iourth times heavier than water,
and which. when green, will sink almos,
as quickly as bar Of iron.

A Rich Find.

Los VEGAs RANCH, Lincoln Co.. Neva-
da, Aug. 18th, 1898.
EDITOR MINER, Kingmsn, Ariz.
DEAR SIR: Enclosed you will please
find piece or specimen OF ore OF a
newly discovered gold prospect. the
Lucky Du,chnan. The assay Of an
average sample went $22 rs at the
FL Dorado Canyon assay office. The
new find /. located IN Lincoln county,
Nevada, % miles northwest OF III Dor
ado Canyon and about y miles south
east Of the Los Vegas ranch, dare say
that this region has hardly been pros
pec,ed. The scarcity OF water seems TO
be the main drawback at present. We
haul our water IL miles, Mesquit Springs
being the most convenient spring for us
at the present wrtin {, though We have
knowledge Of small spring or 7 miles
from our discovery which, with some
developing, will give us An ample water
supply. This region contains a great
deal OF ledge matters which il thoroughly
prospected will no doubt increase the
daily growing number OF goli mines Of
this section OF country. We have done
enough work on our clair to feel assured
Of having discovered a rich gold mine. j,
and intend as soon as the weather mod
crates to 20 to work on the mine in
earnest.
In conclusion allow me to congratu-
late you upon the stand you have taken
in regard to the silver question. May
your brave and undaunted policy, in
union with the vast and noble army Of
defenders OF the white metal, bear its
fruit, and carry the banner upon which
is inscribed the motto; Free and Un.
limited Coinage Of Silver" to victory
and glory. A TRAVELLER.

from hi- gold mine below Lsyne Springs.
He says that owing to the low price of
silver and the striking Of water in the
mine he ia compelled to discontinue work
on the property. The ore in the bottom
OF the shaft when work was suspended
showed high percentage OF copper and
800 per ton in gold and twenty ounces
per ton in silver.

the United States, and the unjustifcable
onelaughts upon western and southern
interests, on western and southern
statesmen, have served to inject into the
discussion 30 much i'll feeling that I'M
conditional repeal is now almost an ina
possibility.
Goaded by unjust attacks, incensed
by having laid at their doors all the ills
directly traceable to democratic declar-
atoms on the tariff, the advocates of eIl-
yer and OF bimetallism can hardly be
blamed for making a firm stand for
what they believe to be fair settlement
of the question. Nor has the situation
been improved by the bitter partisan at
titude of the house of representatives on
the federal election repeal bill and the
determination on the part Of the free
trade fanatics to push through a re-
duction of customs duties in face OF the
most widespread industrial depression
brought on by the mere fear Of approach
ing tariff legislation. In short, the
Cleveland wing of the party in power,
it's mountebank sensational newspapers
and the southern free ballot haters have
together formed compact and impene-
trable triumvirate Of advanced imbecility,
with almost unlimited power for mischief
and no capacity for constructive legis-
lation.
Disappointed as all this must be to
the business interests Of the country
there is really no cause for alarm. The
money scare, or panic, has almost passed,
and discussion has dispersed the cloud
of ignorance with which it was enveloped
by the one-sided harrangues against sill
YER The most threatening evils sre the
repeal of the federal election laws and
the repeal of the Mckinley law. With
these issues out of the way it will not
be difficult to reach satisfactory con-
clusion in regard to the currency; con-
clusion that will consider alike gold and
silver and that will be broad enough to
comprehend the varied needs and inter
ests of this rapidly developing republic.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1893-10-06

IT would be a great thing to
"refer the silver question to the people
for solution at special election" The
serious suggestion that this be done
shows how prevalent the notion is that
the law Of commercial values can be
fixed or changed through the ballot
boxes. Already we have a statute, car
ried by the votes of the people, that
makes the mint ratio of silver and gold
16 to l. But the worlds law of values
defeats, utilities, overrides our statute
law, and makes the ratio about % to l.
Here is an unholy rebellion against the
will of the pc )ple and the law of the
United States. Shall we permit this,
and yet call ourselves frsemen Ore
gonian.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1893-10-06

THE president will not consent to
compromise on the silver question, be
cause he knows, as every senator knows,
that a clear majority in the senate will
vote for unconditional repeal, if vote
can be had, There is no sense in ccm-
promise between majority upon a
square issue. 1t is easy to bring about
II compromise, if a majority of the SEN
ate really favor 1t, by the simple pro-
cess Of voting. Several compromise
propositions are pending in form of
bill. Let there be vote on all these,
one after another, and then a vote on
the bill itself. II it is true that q ma
jority wish something else than uncon-
ditional repeal, something else will be
passed The truth is, the silver men
know they are in minority, and are
afraid of vote on any question. They
are trying to force the majority to com
promise by obstructing vote, and the
majoriy is too timid to resist them, in
the only way possible. The sena is in
the pitiable state of body that abdi-
Gates its legislative function through
sheer weakness and cowardice.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1893-10-06
No Reason for Alarm.

The bill for the unconditional repeal
of the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act, unless conditions change materially
within a few days, will not pass the SEN
ate. The blame for this failure must be
shared equally by the hysterical news
paper press and the Cleveland wing OF
the democratic party. The wanton at
tacks upon silver, which large major
ity of the people believe, with gold,
should form the basis o. the currency OF
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1893-10-06

IT is now proposed that the people of
the United States shall decide by their
votes at special election what the
value OF silver shall be, In behalf OF
the people of Washington we move to
include wheat and hops, Among the
effete nations of the Old World, where
our markets are, the commercial value
of all these products, as well as that of
silver, is too low. Since we can raise
tue values by our votes, we can't get to
the polls too quick, these hard times.
