MINING NOTES.

Quito a number of Comstock miners
are leaving for other fields.
The gold mines about Nevada City.
Gala. are said to be the deepest in the
world.
Mr.. Brown Of Helena. and c. III. Hand
and h. Ringsbury of Butte City, Mon
tana, were in Ely last week. The News
says these gentlemen are part of the
company that purchased the Joana mine.
The Chronicle says that B. f. Dahl of
San Francisco claims to be the original
locator of he Apex mining property, and
he visited Virginia City last week for the
purpose of institutiug legal proceedings
for the recovery of the same.
Frank Enzenberger, of the Oxford,
contemplates making visit at an early
day to Silver Park district, in Southeast.
ern Nevada, where he and his brother
Joe have valuable mining properties.
Geo. A. Rice may accompany him. Salt
Lake Mining Journal.
Two bars of bullion marked "Vulture
mine" have been found in a stable at
San Bernardino. They are supposed to
have been part of the bullion secured by
Mexicans who four years ago murdered
Captain Good. superintendent of the
Vulture mine in Arizona, while on his
way to Phoenix with the mines output
for the month.
The Phenix Gazette says that miners
in that section are much excited over a
gold strike reported from western Arizo.
ma The newly found ledge lies some
where between Harqua Hala and the
Colorado river. Its exact location is not
disclosed at present. Ten pounds of the
ore brought to Phenix contained $500 in
solid gold. which is at the rate of $50, 900
per ton.
D. r. Beebee has just returned from
New York district, San Bernardino
county, Gala, whittier he went last week
to obtain contracts for freighting from
the company at work on the mines. He
speaks very highly of the mining outlook
in that locality, and says that New York
and Vanderbilt districts are going to be
producing lots of mineral as soon as the
numerous mining operators get every-
thing running smoothly. M ohavo Miner.

CLEVELAND AND SILVER.

A recent dispatch from Washington tc
the st. Louis Globe Democrat tells the
following apocryphal story:
A Southern Senator has had talk
with the President on the silver ques.
tion. This Senator is strong advocate
of silver, and he is independent enough
to speak plainly at the White House.
I'VE are now in the majority in both
ends of the Capitol, said he to the Pres
ident. Suppose that majority Of the
representatives of the people of this
country pass silver bill, will you veto
it!"
81 shall veto no bill,' replied the
President, "unless there are constitu.
tional reasons for doing 30.
There can be no constitutional
grounds for vetoing silver BILL" the
Senator argued.
"a bill against which there are no
constitutional grounds, replied the Pres.
ident, "will become law. l may not
sign it, but it will become law, either
with or without my signature. 1 shall
not veto it,"

THE Chicago Herald calls attention to
the fact that hotel.keepers, especially the
proprietors of large hotels, have combined
to demand during the Fair season Sc to
Sl0a day for board and rooms which
they are now glad to rent at SO and $4,
and by the week at big reduction from
transient rates. Now they decline to
name any terms whatever for weekly
boarders during the Fair. The Herald
advises visitors to refuse to submit to
such exactions. It says the phenomenal
increase in hotels and boarding houses in
anticipation Of the Fair insures ample
accommodation for all corners. And it
counsels strangers to set their faces
sternly against extortion.

CONGRESS having passed an act author
ising the President to change the title o
our ministers at the courts of first-clas,
powers to that Of Ambassador, the Eng
lish government has faised the British
Minister to the rank Of Ambassador.
The governments of France, Germany
and Russia will follow suit and all snob-
dom in America will rejoice. 1t is sup.
posed that this change will make more
active demand in the European market

A PORTION Of the reciprocity work Of
the last administration is soon to be un.
done. 1t is stated that President Cleve.
land will shortly withdraw the discrimi.
mating duties imposed by President
Harrison on coffee and hides from vens.
zuela. Hsyti and Bolivia. These
duties were imposed because Of the fail
nre or refusal Of these countries to nepo.

countries enjoy which did not negotiate
reciprocity treaties with us, il

Roads as q Social FACTOR.

The common roads of a country are
at once the means and measure of its
civilization. writes John Gilmer Speed
In an exchange. Without means of
communicating easily and quickly from
one part of country to all other parts
there can be no very widespread civil.
1zation in that country. Neighbour
hoods and states separated from each
other by natural barriers or bad roads
stagnatc in loneliness and are seldom
awakened by common impulses of SYM
pathy. ut is doubtful indeed" saws
Prof Shaler, of Harvard, whether a
sound democracy, depending as it does
on close and constant interaction of the
local life, can well be maintained in q
country where the roadways put a
heavy tax on human intercourse.
