A Subscriber Calls Attsntion Again to the
Duties OF Parents.


Duties OF Parents.
To Tho Independent:
In this mornings issue Of your paper are
some timely remarks about The boys OF this
city. 1t 10 to bs hoped that you ill add
many another article to stir mp the parents
of this city to some sense of their wretohed
lack of duty to their children and TO the
public. To one who has known Of the life
and ways of chi drsn we'll brought mp in
the older communities. tho state of affairs
in this city Is astounding and disgusting.
Let the causes be what they may. the past
is past; 1t is with the present and future We
have to deal. Every obssrvant man knows
more or less Of the habits Of the boys Of
this town. The mothers cannot know. but
the fathers should know more. and espe-
oially the fathers OF the young
girls g. ,hs wh't',ss va,t may moral be snaa .s;a
that winks at the young mans sowing his
wild oats, and holds the man to . loossR
moral life than the woman; no man or
woman OF any moral strength can bat
shudder to think Of the fact. that here the
young boys, too young to understand and
feel that shame for the yioe and respect 70,
purity. that the man has: yet knows and
Rlories in the vices. And oh! the shame
Of it! that our sweet young girls who
should be to these boys and to oil men and
women, real emblems Of purity. are asso-
ciating daily with such boys. Fathers and
mothers are you blind. or simply stupid?
It cannot be that you are indifferent.
No. all the boys here are not so bad.
And some parents hore exercise some care
over thsir dnughters. But one has only to
keep his eyes and ears open upon cur
streets to see what wrong is being dens
to many young souls for need of the care
of more thoughtful ana loving parents.

A Rich Lead Being Opened Up at the
Head of Gold Greek.
George A. haywood. the attorney, for
nesly Of Granite. has several gold quartz
claims located. in connection with several
other gentlemen, near the head Of Gold
crsek. Mr.. haywood says that their prop
critics are located in Granite couaty. few
hundred feet from the line Of Deer Lodge.
They have lead twelve feet in width ard
another about one foot wide. They are
driving tunnels on the claims and have
eight tunnels In at present developing the
ground. The mountain on which they are
working 10 almost perpendicular and offers
. fine opportunity for running tunnels.
Tho ore carries aethinR but geld, and re-
cent assays aive high value of the pre-
cious metal contained In the leads One
peculiar thing about the ore is that il con-
tains not even trace of silver.
There are four men al work on the prop
critics now. and the owners feel quite slated
over the prospect OF opening up big gold
mins. There 10 lots OF snow up there. in
many places being over eight fest on tho
level.
The opening mp Of gold mines in the vicin-
ity of Phllipsburg during the depression in
the price OF silver goes great ways towards
impressing the fact on the minds Of the
people of the world that although silver is
the principal product and backbone Of
Granite county there 10 another great re-
source being opened up to add TO tho
worlds riches. viz: that OF gold mining.

orosseut to the right of twenty five and one
to the loft of forty-Hvs feet. There is a
good grade of ore. Beaidss these props.-
ties the company has eight or nine Other
claims that are we'll located. 1t Is the in
tsntion of keeping force OF men at work

The first rats were brought to the Comstock from California in freight wagons, principally most likely, in tine big prairie schooners," slowed away among boxes and crates of goods. Their rapid increase. after their first appearance on the Comstock. was as- tonishing, says the Engineering Jour nal. From 10 to II young are produc- ed at birth, and there are several lit- fers each year: besides, a rat is a great grandfather before he is a year old.
 Then, the rats that colonized the Comstock towns encountered no enc mics. There were no cats in the coun. fry.
 Soon stores, barns, warehouses, ho- tols--the whole town--were swarming with rats, Cats were then brought

 every prairie schooner that crossed
 the mountains had swung to it big
 cage filled with eats of all colors and

 cats arrived that they could not be

 all over the continued to
 arrive. and no sale being found for
 them, they were turned loose in the
 town. Soon the whole place swarned
 with cats, and the eat nuisance was
 worse than the rat nuisance, and
 thousand times more Vociferous.
 The rats soon discovered the mines
 and found therein congenial home
 home free from the terrifying pres ence Of members Of the feline tribe.
 Never was cat seen in any of the
 lower levels Of the mines, though they sometimes prOwl about the surface of the tunnels In the first opening of the mines there was no place for the rats, bat as soon as the timbers began to be set up and cribs of waste rock built they were able to find safe hid ing places: also there was room for them everywhere behind the tagging of the drifts. As they increased in numbers there were on all sides an in- crease of space through the rapid ex- traction of ore by the miners.
 They doubtless soon discovered that though man was tl,eir enemy on the surface. he was their friend down in the underground drifts and chambers. He shared his meals with them. and they scampered and capered about him with perfect impunity. The of the lower levels appeared 1 to be congenial to the rats, both old | and young, Cold is q thing unknown 1 to them. It is as though they had i been given an immense hothouse in which to breed. Any temperature they desire, from 60 degrees to l30 de- yrees, is at their command. Rats are useful as scayengers in mines. They leyour all the scraps of meat and oth- sr food thrown upon the ground by .he miners while at lunch eating even .he hardest bones, thus preventing pad odor. As the decay of the small st thing is unendurable in mine, he miners never Intentionally kill | rat.
 The miners have a high opinion of heir sagacity. The rats generally ! rive the miners the first notice of Ianger When a big cave is about to iccur they give immediate warning md are seen to swarm0 out of the drifts md scamper about the floors of lev l at unwonted times. The settling f the waste rock probably pinches he animals in their den. causing hem at once 10 leave ID search of less dangerous quarters.
 At times. when a mine has been hut down for few weeks, the rats ecome rayenously hungry. Then hey do not scruple to deyour the oung, old and weak of their kind. turing the suspension of work in d line that is not connected with oth- r mines that are running. everything atable in the underground regions is cyoured, even the candle drippings n the floors. When work is resumed he almost famished creatures are as- bold and fearless. Then hey will come out of their holes and ct upon the underground engines ,,.nfa txf hon ilpt a ra it, rar,fI r,,rff,pl
