A Four Dollar Camp.

Virginia, New. Sept. Is, 1898.
To THE EDITOR OF THE APPEAL
As the APPEAL has manifested dis
position to treat both sides fairly in
the present question of wages, l wish
to occupy some of your space, telling
why the miners have refused the re-
duction of So. 80.
There are now but few men en-
ployed on the Comstock, and these
in few mines that can afford to run
without assessments.
| think if mine can't run with
out assessing the stock every
sixty days and had better close down
and l say right here that the mines
most anxious to work men for s.. 90
can't get the three dollars any more
because the public won't put up.
The other mines where men are
now employed can still pay the 81 90
rate.
Men who were out of employment
didn't propose to cut the Threats of
the few who were not.
There was no guarantee that more
men would be put on, and while the
r. r. company was willing to re-
duce wood to the mines, it was not
willing to reduce the wood sold to
individuals.
Mr.. Editor l want you to keep in
mind that the Miners Union will 90
down with It's culors still nailed to
the mast and that this is still
four dollar camp.
Yours,
A MINER.

Important Mining Decision.

4
Judge Hawley, IN the United
States Circuit Court, yesterday
morning, decided the case of Book &
Blowey against the Justice Mining
Company, in favor of the defend
ants, sustaining every point claimed
by defendant.
| The case involved great many
important questions of mining law,
including the questions, what consti-
tutes valid location, what is
ledge, affidavit of the performance of
labor, general work, course, location
of a mining claim by employee for
the benefit of corporations, etc.
Book e Blowey located within
the limits of the West Justice and
James G. Blaine claim they called
the Peerless, and developed rich
vein of gold bearing quartz. They
claimed that the West Justice and
j. G. Blaine locations were invalid
because their notices of locations
were far away from any point where
defendants claimed they had discov-
cred vein; that defendants never
did discover a vein; that no annual
work was performed by the corpora
ton; that the course referred to in
the notice of location 'Northerly" s
insufficient to enable one to trace
the claim; that no affidavit of labor
was filed as required by law, etc.
Judge Hawley held that the loca-
tors having marked their claim
stakes and measurements, so that the
boundaries could be readily traced, it
made no difference whether there
was any notice of location on the
ground or not, and if there was P.
notice OH the ground, what part 6
the ground it was on, and as to the
course the stakes upon the ground
would govern that. As to affidavit |
of labor, the Court decided that the |
filing of such affidavit simply afford |
ed prima facie evidence of the per
Torrance of the annual work, which |
evidence could be supplied by oral |
testimony.
On the question as to what is
ledge locatable under the mining
law, which was by far the principle
question, Judge HaNley held with
Justice Field in the Eureka-Rich-
mond case, and he compared the
zone or belt of yellow porphrey on
the Justice hill bounded by purple
porphrey on each side, with the
limestone belt of Eureka district !
bounded by shale.
The reading of the decision, which
occupied one hour and % minutes,
was attentively listened 70 by a num-
Der of old mining lawyers who COM
most favorably upon it after
wards, all agreeing it was pity it
was not delivered 80 years ago; that
it would have saved vast sums of |
money in litigation.
The decision is certainly COM
plete revision of the mining law, and
intended to forever settle the ques-
tons involved

Needs Repairs.

From all accounts the bullion
vault af the Philadelphia Mint needs
repairs. According to the dispatches
there is a big crack under the door
which was covered by board.
Somebody, the usual trusted EN-
ploye," kicked the board off and
raked out S135, 900 under the door
with garden rake.
1t is not stated how the door was
fastened, but probably with wooden
button, after the same design so
common on certain out-buildings in
the agricultural districts.
The Government ought to nail a
new board on the bottom of the door,
clinch the nails on the inside and
give the latch string an extra half
hitch.

ANIMALS on SHIPBOARp,
W. II. Bnllo"s Crusade Against Cruel
Treatment .Fy Foreign Companies,


Treatment ,'y Foreign Companies.
Mr.. William Hosea Ballou, who for two
years has conducted a crusade against the
habit Of foreign steamship companies of
cruelty manning animals and then landing
the animals at American wharvcs. has
made a report to President Cleveland of
official results of his work. in accordance
with the desires Of the previous adminis-
tration.
In his report he says: THE subjects Of
England being the greatest offenders, 1
addressed her Britannia majesty to that
effect. A British commission was at once
quested to forward the papers in the mat
ter to the foreign Office which appears to
be willing to cooperate with other nations
in International regulations to secure bu-
name treatment for animals.
The steamship Naronic. which was built
for the better preservation of animals in
transit, as a direct result of the agitation
against the cruelty to animals at sea. was
lost on her first trip out. being great blow
to the cause involved"
In conclusion Mr.. Ballou says: 1.-The gen
eral subject now apparently rests solely
with you. I would suggest that you ar
range for an International quarantine COM
mission, to recommend new regulations to
replace those which now require the cruel
slaughter Of our cattle abroad IN quaran-
tine, before they recuperate from long sea
ness; to agree upon the proper construc-
ton Of vessels for animals in transit; to
recommend international laws for the pun
ishment of navigation companies. their Off
GERS and employees for cruelty, and to make
them liable in damages to shippers for de-
struction injury to animals in transit.
and to suggest ways and means by which
the lives Of some millions Of dollars worth
Of animals now annually destroyed at sea
may be saved
Mr.. Baiou said Saturday that the cruelty
to animals at sea could be abolished " an
International law could be passed holding
navigation companies liable In damages for
the injury or death of animals In transit

was asked Of District Commissioner Parker
the other day.
That's a question I've been asking my
self for years. and ! haven't answered it
yet," was the Commissioners reply. Let's
see If Capt. Powell can't throw some light
on the subject"
Capt. Powell. the Engineer Commissioner
of the District. had no hesitation in saying
that Congress was responsible for the pres
ent inadequate lighting Of Washington. 1t
should be added that an electric light mo-
nopoiy has much to do with It. Visitors to
the national capital find an ever-present
topic in the gloom which settles over the
city after nightfall. Only two or three Of
the principal streets are lighted by cleo
tricity. Gas Is the main dependence. and on
those nights when, accoding to the al
manac, the moon should be shining, the gas
is extinguished Most of the streets are SO
heavily shaded that the gas lamps, when
burning, but intensity the darkness.
Although this condition Of affairs has
been the subject of bitter complaint for
years. Congress shows no disposition to
remedy 1t. There were in operation at the
close Of the last fiscal year 5,4s6 gas lamps
1872 electric arc lamps and 700 oil lamps.
There was last year an appropriation Of
SS,5oO for the electric ngntlng. Inc limit OF
expenditure for gas lighting was placed
at $21.5O per light. The price for each cleo
trio light Is $50. which Is said to be the
highest price paic In the United States.
The United States Electric Light Company
has the contract.
Last year Congress authorized the Dis
trict Commissioners to advertise for bids
for lighting the city properly. but failed to
make any appropriation for carrying out
its behest. Therefore the old arrangements
were continued. 1t is not to The credit Of
the nation that its handsomest city should
be the worst lighted. Perhaps II rival
electric light company were to begin oper-
atoms in Washington there would be a
change for the better. There seems to be
no good reason why the District should not
own its own electric-lighting plant Cities
which have tried the experiment have found
it profitable.

Brakes for Electric Cars.

from the engineering News.
We have several times referred to the
need OF better brakes on electric cars for
the purpose of lesseping to some extent the
present seriously large number of accidents
due to the running of such cars at consid-
cradle speeds in crowded streets The course
or events Is proving very conclusively that
better brakes are needed on many lines for
the safety or passengers quite as much as
for the protection Of other travel in the
streets.
1t Is not sufficiently realized. we believe
by car builders or by street railway mana
gers how vastly more important the brake
gear Is on an electric car than II is on a
horse car on account of the much sleeper
grades over which the electric car is likely to
be run. 1t Is a fact that no engineer would
have dreamed q few years ago of LAYING out
a railway line for anything but cable trac-
ton with such grades as are now operated
over regularly by electric motors The only
limit recognized now is what the present
powerful motors can haul up hill without
blowing fuse or slipping the wheels.
AT present nearly all electric cars in use
have brakes applied by hand, and the motor
man. IL properly instructed, can vary the
braktng force according to the load in the
car. the speed at which he is running and
the condition or the rail. SO as to get the
maximum braking force without slippfng
the wheels. 1t is probable that air-brakes
Of some sort will before long displace hand
brakes on electric cars. and it is a point
worth noting that In their design provision
force to suit the conditions. The superiority
Of the air-brake to the hand brake arises
from the fact that Ii can be applied prac-
tically instantaneously, whereas with the
hand brake one to two seconds is required
to take up the slack in the brake rigging
and apply the brake with full force WITH
trailing cars there is. Of course a further
advantage from the use Of the air-brake az
the motorman al the head can apply brakes
on the whole train as quickly as on one car
But to handle electric cars safely on steen
grades. quickness Of application is not after
all SO important as certainty Of application
with full power. All parts Of the brake rig
cling should be designed with SO large a
factor of safety as to make breakage i'm
possible. and in designing the rods, levers
&C., every possible chance of fouling should
be watched for and guarded against. The
leverage should be sufficient to enable the
motorman to exert a pressure on the brake
shoes at least equal to the weight Of the ca
and the brake gear should be proportional
throughout for the strain due to the max
imum leverage. Were these precautions
taken, the failure of brakes on an electric
car would be an unheard-of occurrence.
