The proposition of certain silver ad-
vocates that an attempt should be made
by the States favoring bimetallism to
make it the unlimited legal tender may
never be carried out, but ifit is seriously
pushed it will bring about discussion
which cannot fall to impress upon the
people the fact that the trainers of the
Constitution intended to secure to
Americans the right to use both metals
in payment of debts. The provision
which limits the power of the States to
making gold and silver coin tender in
payment of debts proves this conclusive
ly. No one will for moment assume
that gold and silver having once been
named as the only legal to nders which
the States might use, that any other
provision of the Constitution gave to
the United States the right to take
away the legal-tender character of
either of the metals. The men who
clear headed to make such mistake.
They all agreed with Hamilton that
ito annul the use of either of the
metals as money would be an abridge-
ment of the quality of the circulating
medium, and therefore liable to all the
objections that arise from comparison
of the benefits of full with the evils
of a scanty circulation By all means
let the effort be made to cause the
States to assert the rights, if for no
other purpose than to force from the
gold monometallists the admission that
after all the chief value of the precious
metals is that which is impaired by
legislation Such an admission would
be decided gain, for all gold mono
metal;sts, in defiance of experience
and reason, assert that gold and silver
haye no other value than that which
commerce gives then.-[s. F. Chronicle.

An Idahoan's Opinion Of the Fair.
OpAL Mine, Sept. l6, 1893.

OPAL MINE, sept. 10, 1888.
EDITOR NUeGEr while in the East
spent about ten days at the Worlds
Fair. 1t is too short a time, however,
to see all of it, or in fact to see much Of
it. In my humble opinion person
should take at least three months to see
bit, then one would be able to form some
kind of an idea of it. Still, from wbatI
saw, consider Idaho pretty we'll repre-
sented for new state. Our fruit dis
play is grand and viii be hard for any
of the other states to beat. OF course
mean the states in the same latitude 80
ours. Our mineral display ranks among
the best. / saw no where as fine silver
specimens as the argentite nuggets from
the DeLamar mine. They attract a
great deal of attention. But for beauty,
the native silver specimens from the
Elkhorn mine In Mantana beats any
thing IN that line at the fair.
Our "Log Cabin" too, which some
people seem to speak lightly Of, is the
attraction of the fair. Builtof the ma
tive rock and timbers, it draws crowds
there on account Of its oddity. 1t is so
different from the rest of the state build
ings, which are pretty much all built
upon the same lines and of the same
material.
Nobody ought to say an unkind word
of Capt. Wells. for he has managed well
and worked hard in the interest OF the
state. His able management will no
doubt be the means of bringing lots OF
capital to our doors TO develop our
mines and desert lands, and other re-
sources that now lie idle. Of your poll
itics forbid you to print this don't do il;
but believe it to be fact neverthe-
less.) Yours truly,

The first licences have been granted
by the Debris Commissioners of Califor-
MIA, under the Camineti law and placer
mining has been resumed on some rich
claims which have been idle for years.
The law requires retaining dams to be
constructed to prevent the flow of slick
ems into the rivers, and license to be
granted by the commissioners before
placers can be worked. The filing up
of the rivers in that stale by placer
washings has been source of conten-
tention for years and the Anti-debris
Association has employed able attor-
neys and invoked the aid of legislation
until placer mining had become almost
an unknown industry there. The Cam
ineti law was passed to reinstate the in
dustry, under restrictions, the anti
debris commission sednlously opposing
it at every step. There are many valu-
able placers which would increase the
production of gold in the state if they
could be worked, and the present be-
ginning is likely to lead to the employ
ment OF many miners.

The State of Nevada has no reason to
take cheerless view OF the future. The
silver industry is not dead. Silver is q
natural money metal, whose continued
use in very large volume is certain.
There is an apparently invincible dis
position on the part Of the controlling
powers in legislation, backed by q mis-
guided and exaggerated sentiment
among Eastern people that silver is re-
sponsibIe for all the financial evils, to
stop its further coinage but the reac-
ton is sure to come. If not free coin
age, then bimstalhsm will ultimately be
the policy OF the country. There must.
sooner or later, be revival of silver
production. Besides, Nevada's mineral
resources are by no means confined to
the white metal. There are tin, copper,
lead, antimony and nikel in large guam
titles. Iron and aluminium are constit-
uent elements of the everlasting hills,
or some Of them Gypsum and borax
are alreacy heavily produced. And the
gold mines are capable of such develop
ment as to bring large income into the
State. All this is outside of the fne ag-
ricultural resonrces Of Nevada. Pond
ing the revival of silver mining, they
can and will be developed. Nevada il

The Oman Pipe Wrench.

1 Messrs 7. Fl. Oman, James Joyce
and Joseph Francis have recently been
granted patent No. 5O3,2l5 for new
| and original device which will doubtless
find ready demand from plum bers and
aud steam and gas-ftters. It is an ad-
! Unstable pipe wrench, with strong and
tight gripping power, combined with
/ lightness, durability and ready adjusfi-
bility to different diameters of pipes.
For the smaller diameters of pipes this
wrench is made as light as the ordinary
monkey wrench, and can be adjusted
from quarter-inch to a two-inch much
quicker than monkey wrench. The
teeth on the jaw and gripper take the
same firm hold on different diameters.
One of the most original features Of
the tool is the gripper, which is a burr
on the inner end of the handle forming
quadruple gripping jaw in which two
sets of teeth grip the pipe and hold 1t
firmly against the teeth of the other jaw
and, there being four of these double
GETS Of teeth upon this burr, only one OF
which is brought into play at one time,
( it quadruples the wearing qualities OF
that part of the wrench which is most
liable to become dull. BY finger lever
the outer jaw can be brought against
the pipe with the same hand holding
the handle, so that the wrench can be
adjusted and operated with one hand.
For use on large sized pipes the
wrenches are made with chain grip,
substituted for the tooth jaw.
The merits of this tool may be
summed up as follows: 1t is lighter,
stronger, more readily adjustable, more
easily handled, has stronger grip and
better wearing qualities than any other
pipe wrench extant
Although the patent has just been re-
ceived the patentees have already re-
ceived several letters of inquiry from
manufacturers in the East asking for
propositions to manufacture the
wrenches on royalty or to purchase out
right. No arrangements have yet been
made to put it on the market.

Few people have an adequate idsa Of
tbs number Of Chinese engaged in
placer and pocket mining in California.
There are literally thousands of them,
and they can be found in the hills and
along the streams from the snow capped
Siskiyous to the sandy boundaries Of
San Diego. They are industrious. fru-
gal, and generally capable miners, and
the amount Of gold they have taken out
is enormous. Revenue Collector Quinn
of San Fransisco, makes very Interest,"
ing calculation Of the earnings Of the
Chinese Of all classes, whose average
population in this state for thirty years
was l31, 900. Most of them, he says,
were employed IN mining, and he thinks
they have averaged rs cents per day
above expenses, in this and other pur-
suits. In thirty years their net earn
ings in all branches Of industry reach
the astounding sum Of $4,000, 900,
much OF which has come from the
mines, and all Of which the collector
thinks went to China The figures are
probably an exaggeration, but they are
interesting to show the very important
factor the Chinese have been in dsyel-
oping the mines and other Industries of
the tate.-Scienti6c Press.

Hon. D. F. Mahanna, speaking of the
Camas prairie country in Idaho county,
says no and can have any real concep-
tion of it until he has seen it. He
thought he knew something about it,
but when he visited it he was amazed
to find that it was almost as large as the
state of Massachusetts and capable of
supporting an enormous population. All
ordinary crops flourish, the soil being
phenominaly rich. When the Nez
Perce reservation is opened, be believes
the tide OF immigration will set in all
over the entire prairie and that the
country will be tbickly settled. That
country is only $50 miles away from
Boise, and it would seem as though our
people should be taking an interest in
getting it settled up and in opening up
direct means of Communication with it..
Northern and southern Idaho are iso-
lated from each other, but with the
matchless gold resources of Idaho coun-
ty and its vast extent of virgin agricul-
tural land, there should be sufficient in
ducement for a development movement
which would overcome the trifing bar
riers that are permitted to separate the
two sections. Statesman.

Last night on the Ohio River railroad
passenger train. when near Glendale, a
travelling salesman was go badly hurt
that physicians gave 1t as their opinion
that he could not recover A newsboy
spent the night in the city lookup,
charged with being the cause OF his in
jury. His name is Charles Ratclit, and
he is about eighteen years old.
AS to part OF the difEiclty on the train
all accounts agree. Ratcliff was pass
ing through the car with his basket
when tho man reached over and took
two bananas from 1t. The boy went on,
but afterward returned and demanded
pay for the fruit. The man refused,
but the boy accepted 1t as a Joke and
AGAIN left. Returning later, he again
demanded pay, when the difficulty oc-
Cured. and the man was struck or
nushed over, and received the injury.
The bow says the man made an insult
ing proposal OF base character, and
then struck him in tho face, and that
he merely pushed him, and he fell, his
head striking the arm Of tho seat.
Others soy tho boy struck him with
WbiIly," and still others that he hit him
with a chunk of coal. The boy says he
had no billy, but had had q chunk OF
coal, but had dropped it. All say the
man who was hurt seemed to be under
the influence OF liquor, and several wit
nesses said he aud others with him
we're robbing the boy OF his fruit in a
shameful way.
The man proved to be G. II. Sim
mons. OF Columbus, Ohio, who travels
for New York chocolate house. When
the train arrived hero he was taken in
hack to the City Hospital. An exam
inationshowed a silver piece in his skull,
where it had been trephined, and 1t
was said he received this injury in the
western mining region. But for this
the blow he received last evening would
not probably have been serious.
The boy was arrested shortly after he
got to his boarding house, by Lieuten-
ant Gaus.
