From the time the U. ;. Mint was es-
tablished in 1892 to 1873, when silver
as demonetized, the total silver pro-
duct of the United States amounted to
$780, 100000 There was coin during that
time only S,045, 1873 silver dollars. The
coinage of silver was free to any one
who would take silver to the mint.
The reason so little was coined was
hecanse the metal was worth from Sl.3l
to ST 81 per ounce, and only $l29 per
ounce when coined The reason it was
worth more than its monetary valne
was because Europeans coined on a
ratio of l54 to one and we on ratio of
Is 9S to one. The difference made it
worth at least Sl.3l per ounce for coin
age 10 Europe, hich is two cents per
ounce more than our coinage value.
This two cents per ounce caused il to be
exported instead OF coined. Mining

What's in a Name.

What's In Name.
Saturdays Statesman contained tel
rgram which or ated good deal Of *
citement, and no little Indignation. in
our camp, II announced that the name
of the postotiice here had been ordered
changed from "De Lamaru to "Regan.n
it hoax, but as the dispatch was dated
at Washington, it finally gained credit,
and then petitions protesting against
the change of name we're drawn up and
circulated getting the signatures of
every person in town 10 whom they
were presented, with, as far as we can
learn, single exception. The people
generally denounced " however it might
be " ho had caused this order to be is
sued by the Postohics Department, and
many conjeciurss were made as to who
was the author of the change. Some
suggested that Mr.. Regan had hand n
it, and bis many friends here indig-
nantly protested that be did not. On
account of an old i'll feeling between
Capt. DeLamar and Senator Dubois,
many charged it to the latter gentle
man. All were, however unanimous in
deDonncing il as an outrage. We are
still in the dark as to who ia the guilty
party. MIR. Rrgan was here on Monday
.
and not only said thatit WAS ss much Of
surprise to him as to any one OF US,
but Indignantly resented any imputstion
thar he could ever be found guilty of
doing such small, mean thing. This
pleased his many friends here and shut
up the mouths of the few who would
have been glad to have brought the
charge to his door.
Now, the NUGGET desires to assertthat
it does not believe Senator Dubois
guilty. We have too high au estimate
of his good sense anb silrewdness to
think that he could stoop to such a
pisce of petty larceny meanness, to
th5ow such a siur on a political or per-
sonal enemy, and we believe he will
demonstrate this by Joining in the pro-
test sent 10 the Poslotfice Department.
If he does not, or cannot do this, we can
assure him that his future political in
f1urnce in Owyhee county will be nil.
and will be lowered wherever this Incl
d MT is related and understood He
must promptly resent aud disprove the
inputation.
Captain DeLamar, by his enterprise
and energy, coupled, of course, with the
good luck OF developing rich miues
here, made he town. His liberalits
provided the miners here with better
buildings and conveniences than usually
belong TO mining iowns. There is All
honor in having such town as this
named after an individual, and that
honor belongs to none other than Capt
De Lamar. Not a single reason could
have been presented for giving the
town any other name when it was
chrisiened and much less could any
reason now be gwen for changing it,.
The mines here now have a world
v ide fame under that name; corpora
tions here bear the name mines here
ACQUIRE a portion of their value through
that name. To change it would work q
material injury to many persons. The
great department of the government
hich has the authority to give the
postotiice an official name cannot afford
to be party to any such prtty mean
ness.
When the perpetrator of This outrag
is discovered he will be made to appear
very small indeed.

Work has been temporarily suspended

repaired and track laid 480 feet past the
old Peck shaft and within about 200 feet
of the face which will probably he

will then be made to connect with the

SUCCESSFUL FARMING.
la Farmer, in Charlotte Times.

The successful farmer produces
everything consumed op the farm.
This can be proved by the past record
of our State and county. Forty years
ago our farmers raised all the bacon
used in our State and meat for the
market also, all the -four, corn, oats
and everything consumed at home and
to sell. So when they sold their cot
ton it was surplus and the money
loaned to the merchants. But our
country has gone through a reyolu-
ton. Our farmers have tried to keep
their meat houses and Touring mills in
the Northwest, and their fertilizer is
all brought from the phosphate beds of
the coast, at big cost, in place OF
making manure at home-costing
comparatively nothing, and worth
twice or three times as much
These are all facts worthy of note and
all of our farmers admit it.
This is the time of year for our
farmers to supply themselves with pigs
to make meat for another year, as it
will pay any farmer to raise his own
meat at any price, and especially at
the present price. Bacon is worth
I2HC., to I5c.-who can stand that
price? 1t is best to raise our own
meat. This is grass growing coun-
try. Seed time will soon be OR hand
and now IS the time to supply your
selves with seeds. Red clover will pay
a better dividend than cotton, yet you
find numbers of our farmers who have
not got an acre in clover, when they
should have five acres to the horse.
Any farmer can prepare and SOW from
two to five acres each season, both fall
and spring. l think cotton land the
best for clover, as the weed and grass
are not SO apt to impede the young
clover. Prepare your land we'll and
manure literally, and SOW in rust
proof oats in March, and SOW your
clover 5 pounds to the acre last and
brush in lightly. Success in clover
culture IS TO prepare the land we'll be-
fore sowing, and with a good season
after the spring freezes are over you
may expect a good stand. Clover
hay is always in demand on our
market at 75c. per hundred. And a
good crop on good land would amount
to three tons per acre, and will cost
less in harvesting than any other
known crop and always in demand.
SO | think our farmers had better give
thought to these facts, and change
our tactics and see if we can't change
the outlook somewhat. We can't lose
anything by experimenting on this
line. | have tried it and know it to
be correct. Let us hear from our
brother farmers on farming and stock
raising.

At THE TEMPLE GATES.
The Theme of Faith.
The holy morning wakes the day

The holy morning wakes the day
OF God for His good people,
And Sabbath chime-bells swing and pla,
World wide from manv -teeple,
While simple folk, with loyal fear,
Chant Der their anthems hoary.
And all the world is call'd TO hear
The old, old Christian story.
That older grows and sweeter flows
AS round and round the earth it goes
The faith that once to holy men
BY Gods true spirit given
That took its glorious fashion when
His Son came down from heav'n--
That through the lives OF men has lur
Unbroken and unhidden
As e'er from out the changeless sun
Streams on the light first bidden-
Grows on and strong and upward goes
Triumphant DER all allied foes
For life, dear soul, is not play
Thro' fickle acts fast driven
IT'S worth the living, day by day,
As with a charge God-given
We groan as gyvec by clay and time.
But groaEing is our thriving
The OAK that glories iD its prime
Received its strength in striving.
So faith in God through wounds and pains
Eternal life and glory gains.

THE ECON OMY OF GOOD
ROADS,.
Wilmington Star. |

There is not a State in all this
Union that does not take more or less
interest in railroads and give them
! more or less encouragement, while
there is not State in the Union that
takes half as much interest in country
roads or pay the attention to them
that it should. There is not a State
in the Union, as far as we know, that
has road system at all, or anything
that might be called road system.
We are told that the Stale of Vir-
ginia had, before the days of railroads,
some of the best public highways in
this country, and that they wound
through the mountains in such way,
by such excellent grades, that person
riding in the stage coaches of those
days would scarcely realize that he
was ascending or descending a noun
tain. We have travelled over some
of those same roads since, and saw
but few traces of the fine engineering
skill that made those mountain roads
the admiration Of the traveller.
If we had never had any railroads
we would doubtless by this time have
fine system of turnplkes, at least in
the older States, tor their necessity
would have been recognized; but the
railroads have SO overshadowed the
i" dirt" road that it has been almost
forgotten by the States and been lett
to the counties and townships to be
patched up and kept in shape the best
they can, which lacks very little Of
being as bad as possible.
There is not a leading nation in
Europe that hasn't roads that should
make this country ashamed OF itself,
roads that pair of stout dogs will
pull heavier load over than a pair Of
horses would over the average Ameri-
can road much of the year.
1t would be hardly fair to institute
Coparison tween this country and
the leading countries of Europe and
expect to have as good roads here as
they have there, because their roads
are the work of ages and they are
simply keeping up systems some OF
which were established centuries ago.
This is true, but there the Government
looks after the roads as matter Of
public economy while our Govern
ments do not, but let the roads take
care ofthemselves. That's the difference.
But State Legislatures will never
give question like this serious atten
ton until prodded up to 1t by the
people, and. strange to say, the very
people, the farmers, who are most
directly interested in good roads, are
the people who seem to realize this
the least and to say the least about it.
They would probably be the first to
protest if it were proposed to tax their
property to construct good, substantial
and durable highways.

ROADS AND CONVICTS.
| Atlanta Constitution. !

We gather from the New York
Tibune that the people Of the east
a,e in full possession of a prison
prCblem" The information is start
ling, for we had supposed that this
problem and other problems of like
nature had been settled long ago by
the superior civilization with which
they had cCnflicted in that section.
We had supposed that it was only at
the South that such problems are vex-
atous but it seems that when the lid
Is lifted off the contents of the skillet
a-e found to be pretty much of the
same in the middle as well as around
the edges.
We were startled year or two ago
TO discover that the public roads Of the
Nc tn were no better than the roads
of he South, and in some parts Of the
Moth even worse. There is now no
attempt made to conceal the fact that
if ne part of the country is in mud
the rest is in the mlre. If the advan-
tage lies anywhere it lies with such
sta es as Georgia, where the royal red
ca makes, in favorable seasons, an
ide lily perfect road.
It is in connection with the road
q Ii ,tion that the Tribune adverts to
tie prison problem, and touches on a
ns ter in which the whole South is in
ter namely, the employment of
COZ vict labor SO that it will not come
il too direct competition with free
lab )r. The prison problem in New
Y k is to make the penal institutions
5, L sustaining without doing injustice
tC zee labor, and if this can be done
ale road reform accomplished at the
81 u time, the Tribune thinks the
pee )le will have occasion for rejoicing.
nd it is even SO. Georgia and
9th r Southern States are pestered with
nvict lease system-the heritage Of
rep .blicanism and they are troubled
W t roads that are disgrace to civ
il Z. ton. If the Covict system can be
u,il zed so as to improve the roads it
is he part of wisdom and states
ma lship to devise means to that end.
he proposition has been discussed
e, t, nsively at the South, but it is new
tc New York apparently. A bill has
iu been introduced in the assembly
OF that State which provides for the
al rointment of commissioners who
Shall be authorized to take two-thrds
of the convicts in the prisons and in
the Elmira reformatory, and set them
at work improving the roads. Still
other Covicts are to be employed in
~ liking clothes, tools and other things
that will be needed by those who are
engaged on the roads.
Another road bill has been intro
drccd which provides for bonding the
stat: for SIo,ooo,ooo in order to OBJ
tar a fund for highway improvement;
bit the Tribune is of the opinion that
the time has not come when public
sentiment will demand the passage Of
Su n a bill.
We have long thought that the rem
edy for the bad roads in Georgia is to
be partly found in the convict system.
Public sentiment has firmly crystal
lizesi against the lease system to indi-
viduals and TO corporations, and when
tn, convicts are thrown back upon the
Stlge there will be nothing that they
can be more profltably put at than the
l,1iiIinq of nermanent roads
