MINERS WAGES

During the heated discussion and the fight that has taken place over the silver question in litter over year, there is one phase of the de- preciation of this metal, which many miners have overlooked, but which they have, nevertheless, ex- perienced It is the question of their wages. Before auy definite action had been taken by either political party on this vexatious problem, the question of work and the pay therefor in the mines of the west cut no figure, tn fact, the silver miner labored just as industriously and zealously, as did the gold miner. When the decisive slud in the white metal came, it not only affected the mans wages who toiled in the silver miae, but earned down with him the man whe worked in a gold mine also. There was no reason, nor can any be advanced, why the deprecia- tion of one metal in this varied industry, should so disastrously affect the calling of the miner gen erally, but this is what has been accomplished. \ few yeaas ago in this county practical miners wore paid four dollars a day for their labor, and this rate prevailed as the standard for some time, when it was decreased to three dollars and a half No reason is given why his reduction was authorized, except possibly it be due to relaxation of interest in the mining business or is attributed to a failure attending the mineral out put. At any rate, the miner met the cut. Coming down to a later day, when the pres ent hostility was manifesting itsel, in the gold bug incubator of the east, the silver operators of the west became alarmed and with their dis satisfied expressions and uneasy feelings, further decline to three dollars day was the greeting to the miner, whether he labored m a gold or silver shaft. The desirr for the yellow metal has never abs ted, and, in it's yield, has increased nee the agitation of bmetalism, vet the man who does the prac ical mining for it has been reduce,. m circumstances simply because Df a temporary decline in one inst .nce of his calling. This is an m just feature of the fight which has been carried on against silver, and 1t is one also which affects the people more generally than it does the metal itself The extreme DO, srty that is heard of everywhere in former camps of silver mining. the idleness noticed in every dist rict, aud the eagerness with which men are now seized to grasp position that will give their hard and intel ligent labor but three dollars a day certainly Is a gloomy pictur' to look upon for calling that yields so much to the general prosperity of a town or locality. The men who are affected deserve better. and while no remedy may be advanced or any hope gwen to a return oi the days gone, the regard for the man who works below will still live, and the good he does more than any other laborer, is shown and proven to-0ay everywhere on the frontier he has wandered to.

 ''I cannot sheep in that room, said a guest at the Hotel Denechaud the other evening as he walked to the desk in the office and threw the key upon it
 What is t7he matter with itin asked Justin Deneshaud, who was behind the desk at tshe time
 There is nothing the matter with 1t. except that the bed is in the wrong place, the guest replied For more than 20 years have slept in bed with the head toward the north. and 1t has become such q habit with me that 1t would be actually impossible for me to sleep in a bed with the head in any other direction.
 Tt will be impossible for me to give you room containing e bed in that position, said the clerk as he ran his eye over the list of rooms. ''The hotel is well filled to night, and l have only two vacant rooms, but will have the bed turned for you," and calling the porter Mir. Denechaud instructed him to turn the bed in the gentleman's room so that the head would be to the north. The guest followed the porter up stairs, and as nothing further was heard of him it is presumed that he retired and slept the sleep of the blessed.
 There is no accounting for taste, !" said Mir. Denechaud, and the funny experiences we have in the hotel business would i'll volume You noticed that gentleman just now who demanded that his bed be changed with the head toward the north. Be fore the night is over we may have calls for beds with their heads turned to every point of the compass, and of course we are obliged to accom- modate every one. l remember an instance like this several years ago.
 "A gentleman slightly under the influence of liquor came into the ho- tel one night. and producing a pocket compass said that he wished a room where the head of the bed should be placed to the northeast. Wesent two boys with the man. and they placed the bed as requested. The jokeAbout 1t was that the compass was furnished with little stop, which held the in- dicator in a certain position, and it so happened that the gentleman's bed, which had been placed directly northeast according to the compaSs. \ was in reality so placed that the head l was directly to the south The gen tleman discovered the mistake the next morning, and, I presume was cured of the fad.

A CARD.

Mir. Editor permit us, through the columns of the JouRNAL-MrNER to convey to the many earnest friends in Prescott and other places, our heartfelt gratitude, for their expressions of sympathy, and other valuable assistance during this our most terrible atflietion. We also want to thank Dr. Sewall. and the other physicians, for their un- tiring efforts to save the lives of our precious girls, but We believe it was beyond human power to stay the progress of the malignant type of this most dreadful disease. Words cannot express our sorrow at the loss Of those most loving, obedient and promising girls. But we do not sorrow, as do those who never know hope, for each and all left us the most positive assurance that they were going home, to be with Jesus throughout all eternity.
 Sincerely, yours, Mr. and Mrs. D. Pen tland and family.

Hoover admitted taking the animal, believing it to be his, and running as 1t was with his herd, the brand and ear marks being very indistinct, also, on the animal sold. Mir. Hoover bears an excellent repu- tation among his acquaintances generally. The grand jury will examine into the matter. and in the meantime he is out on $500 bonds.

SKULL VALLEY, April S.-To the JOURNAL MINER. On Friday evening, April 9th, a sound of revelry arose, and all the beauty and chivalry of southwestern Yavapai county were gathered there, in the school house at Skull valley, and
 Bright the lsmps shone
 Der fair women and brave men,"
 Judging from the large crowd that turned out with the evident inten- ton of enjoying to the fullest ex- tent every part of the occasion. and from the wild exuberance of spirit with which they carried out their intentions. it would seem to have been considered the social event of the season among the fashionable circles of Kirkland, Thompson and Skull valleys, all of which were we'll represented.
 The music for the occasion was rendered by MT. Will Russell, of Ferguson valley, and Mir. Charles Parker, of Peoples valley. MT. Dave Dillon also kindly assisted with his violin, adding great pleasure to the affair by his long, slow and dreamy waltzes, which were greatly appre- eiated and enjoyed by the dancers.
 At half past eight the sound of the tuning of the instrument brought the late corners in with rush, and dancing commenced, the throb of the violin and banjo strings seeming to stir their pulses like magic. and the dainty feet of merry dancers sped madly round and round the room until 12 o'clock, when refreshments were served.
 At half past twelve the dance went on again, wildly and madly as before, everyone present seeming to throw their whole soul into the enjoyment of the moment. Fun was the order of the hour and ran riot until the wee small hours of the morn.
 Home was not mentioned until four o'clock, and the tired, subdued look and slow step of the dancers as they left the ball room and donned their wraps, preparatory to leaving for home, were mite tributes to the intensity of their enjoyment.
 Everything passed of quietly and pleasantly, and everyone seemed satisfied with their nights pleasure.
 The contingent of railroaders present was quite large, A. l. Hughes camp being especially we'll 
 Mir. T. J. Howell was mainly in- in getting up the dance. and great praise and credit IS due him, the care and pains he took and the tact he displayed in attending to the wants of the guests, were, in a great measure, the cause of the l success of tue party.
 Among those present were Mis- 1 Clara Jackson, Miss Linnie Jackson. Miss Pearl Jackson, Mir. aud Mrs k. E. Kirkland, Grant Carter, Mir. | Willie, West Jackson, of Kirkland valley; Miss Lena Sanders, Miss Cook and Miss Kate Rudy, of ]! Thompson valley; Miss Mamie 1 Dixon aud mother, Miss Georgie Rudy, Mrs. Whitehair and mother. Mrs. Shupp, Mir. Robert Miller and | wife, Joe Dixon, Van Dixon, Edward Blackburn, Ben Blackburn, Johnny King, Charlie Carter, of Peoples valley; Homer Hixon, Horace Bow. Ire, Mrs. Vim. Dixon, Harry Clark, of Kirkland valley; Mrs. Rudy, Al 'ert Rudy and Joe Rudy, of Skull Talley.
 This is the second very enjoyable 'ociai affair that has taken place iince the railroad entered the valley md the young people are looking onward 10 another in the near uture. NouAn
