The new mill soon to be erected on the
Briggs group OF mines In Eureka gulch, will
be three stories high and have capacity Of
forty tons per day. Krom's dry process will
be used for treating the ore, as IL saves
large percentage of gray copper and brittle
silver, which is impossible 10 save by the wet
process. The ore from these properties runs
we'll up in gold silver and lead, being much
the nature of the ore produced by the Sunny
side and Sunpyside Extension. The mines
are all easy Of access, lying down in the bot
tom, close to the wagon road. In fact, q
wagon may be backed right up to the mill
The mill Is to be arranged go that the ore as

ally at the crusher. A good-sixed .comforta-
bic boarding house, capable Of accommodating
thirty men, will also be erected. together
with superintendent office, ore houses,
blacksmith shop and other buildings. The
estimated cost of getting everything In
shape is about e20, 600. About 1000 feet Of
development work has been done on the
mines, and they are now in shape to furnish
ore for the mill which will be placed In opera
tion as soon as completed. In the meantime
development work will be continued. All
the machinery was bought, and 1t was the de-
sign to build the mill last season, but on ac-
count OF the low price Of silver Mr.. Briggs

The Bond Question.

Ed. Argu8:-The suggestion
offered by correspondent Y in the
ARGUS OF this date (15th) as to the
Propriety of creating an advisory
board to cosoperate with City Of
hcials (Alderman and Mayor in the
management Of q sewerage system
and expenditure of funds for same,
impressed me favorably and will
be sanctioned, presume, by every
tax payer and voter in the city.
Such an arrangement doubtless
would strengthen the vote for
bonds, and cause all interested to
feel greater confidence in the exs
ecution of the Sewerage work and
the judicious management of the
Ii ances.
Instead of one from each ward
as suggested by X, l will suggest
ten, the same number as Alders
men and Mayor, irrespective
wards, Good men and competent
being the object, and will further
suggest that it be understood and
provided that no action of the Joint
board of Alderman and Advisory
board in relation to sewerage and
management of finances he vailed
and binding unless agreed to by
recorded vote Of majority of both
Advisory board and Aldermen in
regular meeting.
As no names for Advisory Board
have been mentioned | will sugs
gest the following, which in my
judgment would te satisfactory to
the entire community: Messrs. Sol.
We'll, F. K. Borden, Judge w. T.
Faircloth, |. F. Dortch, Maj. II,
L. Grant, 3. NJ. Privett, I. 3.
Fonvielle, L. II. Castex, j. B
Edgerton and Geo. G. Royal.
It any one can select and ar
range for an Advisory Board that
would possibly be more satis-
factory, all right, it will be sancs
toned and voted for. What We
want as citizens of Goldsboro is
good system Of sewerage on the
most ecommical basis possible. All
should feel interested on the subs
ject, for it interests all. None will
be exempt from the benefits to be
rived.

gether for mutual benefit aud gems

OF course, Assistant Postmaster
General Maxwell is whacking off
heads as fast as possible
among the fourth class Postmas~
tiers. He was put there to do it,
just as Headsman Clarkson was
put there four years ago
The fact that Clarkson made l.,
329 appointments from March 4,
1889, to April 3, of which s25 were
removals, logically made a great
many commissions expire during
the month Of March, 1893; but
Maxwell hasn't been much more
than halfepual to his prede ess Or,
as he managed to make no more
than S7S appointments from the
4th Of March until the Sd of april,
only $40 of which were removals.
1t will be seen that Headsman
Clarkson removed more than two to
one for Headsman Maxwell as far
as the returns are 10; but the howl
of the Republicans goes on now all
the same, just as the Democratic
howl went on foul years ago. AL
though Maxwell hasn't made re-
movals in half the eases where
Clarkson made removals in 1889,
the only question is whether Max
we'll should be criticised for making
any removals at all, or for not
making enough,
The civil service laws don't take
in the fourth class Postmasters, and
they are regarded as legitimate
party prey as new political power
cor es along. When civil service
reform shall be accepted by ali
parties whether in or out of power,
there will be hope for fourth class
Postmasters, but until then both
parties will decapitate them for
party ends, and the party that suf-
fers the decapitation will howl
about it.

RAVAGES OF THE STORM.
Widespread Destruction in North
western States.

CHICAGO, April 12.-Lqst night
the storm wrought such havoc with
telegraph wires that it was almost
impossible to obtain particulars of
the damage done IN the west, whore
destruction seems to have been
general and widespread in the
states of Iowa. Illinois, Nebraska.
Kansas and Missouri. Probably
the greatest damage is done in
Iowa, although reports from Ne
braska, indicate that when full
particulars have been received that
the State will lead in the loss of
property and human life, Along
the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul Railroad in Iowa and
Nebraska. the storm cut wide
swath. The town of Akron in the
former State was wrecked. and
Westfcld a few miles distant was
badly demoralized. Meagre res
ports from localities in the interior,
show the devastation to be wide
spread, although its full extent
will not be known for several days,
owing to lack Of telegraph facili-
ties and washing out of country
roads, rendering communication
difficult. and in many cases imposA
sible. Continuing along the rail-
road in Nebraska the storm swept
up the farm buildings, fences and
bridges, and fnally swooped down
on the town of Page, which it
wrecked. At this point the first
loss of life was reported, Mrs.
Clara Magee being the victim.
Her two children were dangerously
injured. and several other pers ons
hurt. The storm travelled with
great velocity, covering two huns
dred miles between Akron and
Page in an hour and a half. Much
damage is done further west, but
owing to the complete prostration
OF the telegraph wires absolutely
no particulars are obtainable.

Watterson on Silver.

Mr.. Henry Watterson is in dan
ger OF being denounced by the Ats
lanta Constitution as "a goldala~
tor" "an agent of Wall street,
and "Shyiock."
His peril arises from the fact
that he is now engaged in writing
some very fine editorials in favor ot
a sound currency.
Mr.. Watterson has little pa
tience with the free silver craze
and he argues very jastly that the
extension of our commerce will be
practically imi cssible unless we
adopt safe financial system. In
the Cogrier-JournaL of last Satur-
day he says;
Manifestiy, if we are to enlarge
to any extent our international
commerce, we must do it upon an
international basis, otherwise the
world will som draw from Us our
cntire stock Of gold, and will ship
in return only silver or overvalued
goods priced in silver.
l. becomes of first Importance
thai the Democratic party, in
dealing with this silver question,
should consider it in its broadest
aspect, in its relation to the pro-
dnction and change of American
crops and American gods. 1 is
not simply national question
it is a question which lies at the
bottom OF the international com
merce.
America almost alone has been
s'riv ng to maintain the price OF
silver. 1t has failed. The prom
ise of the Bland bill and the prom
lac of the Sherman bill-the
one providing for the purchase
annually of S25 100000 OF silver
and the other for $4,000, 0,000-
have utterly fail to materiaiize,
and, in the face Of this enormous
purchase by the government, the
price of silver has steadily declined
and the amount Of silver prod uced
has increased.
