Once more tie effort will be
made by the humanitarians of the
state to secure from the state leg
islature of Texas a law that will
more adequately prevent crimes
against girls of tender age, by hav-
ing the legislature raise the age of
consent to at least a decent period.
The age fixed in the minds of those
women who are agitating this
change, is Is years, which is GER
tainly much nearer the mark than
the present law which makes a
young girl of only twelve the abso-
lutte mistress of her own person
and places her at the mercy Of the
accomplished william who would
! work her ruin. The state places
limit to her years of minority for
the transaction Of business and
considers her a ward of the state
during that minority. Is it of less
Importance that the state should
guard her person than her prop
erty? If not, then should the age
of legal consent be placed at the
same life period as the limit Of her
legal minority.
And once more the books are to
be opened for the registration OF
the legal voters of this city, as a
condition precedent to the holding
of the regular municipal election
in February next. This registra
tration should be made as full as
possible, in order to really show
the voting strength of the city
and approximately its actual popu
latiOn, as populations are estimated
upon registrations of this kind
San Antonio has never yet regis
tered her full voting strength by
several hundreds, as no election
. has yet been held in which score
OF good citizens have not confessed
that they had neglected to registe
and therefore could not vote. Thi
registration there should be /;
. complete register made of every
, voter in the corporate limits.

We never yet saw a farmer who was
"down under the harrow" who was
handling a poor dairy. Just getting out
at the end OF the year by the " skin Of
his teeth" who was willing to have
the true reason of his poor success
told to him. There is no earthly use
in codding ones pride at the expense
Of ones pocket. Poor cows, poor
farming and wasted manure are the
result of a poor use OF the brains God
has giving the farmer, and it is time
that the poor farmer was hauled up
in front OF the question and made to
see il.
We are in a period of low prices.
Only good cows and good, economical
farming can survive such a pressure.
Poor COWS and poor farming will be
squeezed to death. The low prices We
are not to blame for, but We are to
blame for poor cows and poor farming
and we ought to be made to face the
truth every day until we commence to
use our intelligence to stop at least
that portion OF the evil.-Hoard's
Dairyman.

In view Of the near approach OF the
Fourth of July, with its attendant con
fagration hazard, it is desired TO call
attention to the following simple
precautions, some of which can be
adopted to advantage by every one.
If you have private fire apparatus
see that the hose, FIRE pals and extin-
guishers are in s~erviceable condition.
II you have none this is an excellent
time to protect your property. II you
have small hose, attach it in the most
available place. Wet down wooden
sidewalks and planked areas, use
water enough to run through the
cracks so as to wet the chips, papers,
ETC., underneath. Remove all packing
boxes, goods in cases and rubbish
from the sidewalks.
The proper authorities are requested
to ascertain. by actual trial, that their
hose carts, hose and water supply are
in condition for prompt and effective

To work Zinc Mines.

Joseph Grandelmyer Of Hamilton,
Nevada, tells the San Francisco Call
that preparations are being made to
utilize the big bodies of zinc ore which
underlie the section OF country on the
line Of the Eureka & Palisade railway,
about half way between those two
points. The existence OF the zinc ore
has been known for a long time, in fact
a shaft has been sunk through a solid
body Of ore. in search Of gold, which
is from forty to sixty feet in width on
the surface and continues to the depth
OF the shaft-about 800 feet-without
any signs of diminution in quantity.
No attention has been paid TO the ore
before because ii has been deemed
practically worthless, but nov samples
OF it are being shipped to the zinc
works at La Sale, ILL.,, the largest of
that kind in the country, and il salts
factory freight rates a be secured a
new and promising industry will be
opened up in that section.

Captain De Lamar always makes
things move when he takes hold of an
enterprise. He brought the old Owy-
hee district to the front, and has been
identified with a number Of large and
successful affairs. Recently he has
invested largely in the Ferguson dis
trict, Nevada, below Phoebe. These
mines are understood to be both rich
and extensive indeed, Captain De la
mar would not have been likely to take
hold Of them il they were not. But
they are remote. IL is a long, hard
overland journey to get to them. The
cost Of getting out their product would
be great, that Of shipping in the ex-
tensive machinery needed for their
working and for the treatment Of their
ores, correspondingly heavy. Indeed,
it is not sure, from what we can learn,
that there is water enough available in
the vicinity to supply the reduction
works that would be needed. With
this so, the ore would have to be ship
ped out for treatment, and at the pre-
sent rate this would be a serious
drain on the Of the opera
ton.
tits, therefore, no matter OF surprise
to hear that Captain De Lamar has de-
termined that the solution Of the prob
lem lies in the construction Of a rail-
road from Milford 10 the mines. No
doubt the grade made by the Union
Pacific during the last year of Presi-
dent Charles Francis Adams manage
ment OF the affairs OF that company,
about a hundred miles, would be avail
able, for all the traffic would be di-
rectly thrown to the Union Pacific, and
be added to its profits the same as il
the proposed road were part Of its own
system. But the details are not i'm
portant; the main thing is the pros
pect OF its being built, and thus afford
ing an outlet for Ferguson and Phoebe
ores to this valley for reduction. Hail,
Captain De Lamar All the people Of
Utah and southeastern Nevada will
wish you speed in this new enterprise.

SAVAGE


Governor Richards Of Montana is.
sued a proclamation prohibiting ths
Indians from holding the sun Dance.
The Indians paid no attention to the
proclamation and the Governor, II
seems, made no attempt TO enforce his
DEGREES. The sun dance is n OF the
most savage ceremonies performed by
the red men. The braves who engage
in the dance are suspended by
thongs thrust through Sits made in
the muscles OF their breasts and backs,
and their powers Of endurance are
tested by attaching weights to their
suspended bodies or to the thongs
sufficient to tear the muscles apart.
The pain is so intense that the suffer-
ers almost invariably faint during the
operation. 1t is an ordeal, however,
by which every Indian who desires to
be q warrior must be tried, and those
who submit to the greatest torture are
adjudged the bravest men.

Not since the rush to Boise basin

bia in the early '60's has there been
such activity in the placers. Hundreds
Of old diggings, mined specifically in

abandoned because Of q hope Of better
things and the excessive price Of sup
plies and provisions, are being re-
claimed and worked with profit. A
great deal Of virgin ground is also be-

many places improved appliances and

Corner I'm the diamond Market.

OF the diamond market the Jewell
ers' Circular says: LESS than three
months ago the entire stock Of the
company controlling the output of the
world was sold to a London syndicate
for &c, ESQ, 900, the price per carat be-
ing in advance of that paid at a large
sale just previous to that time. The
stock of the company then advanced
several per cent and the advance is
still maintained. II is also untrue
that shrewd buyers can now obtain
small stones at bargain in the Euro
pean markets. The market was stripped
of well-cut stones by the American
buyers last year, and the tendency of
prices is now upward, the fine goods
being bought up by Europeans as
rapidly as the cutters can turn them
out. There is no immediate pros
pect of q decline from present prices"

weather Changes.

An exchange declares, and believe
correctly, too, that a disagreeable day
yields about ten per cent less work
than a pleasant day. Accidents are
numerous in factories on bad days. A
railroad man never proposes changes
to his superior if the weather is not
propitious. Fair days make men ac-
cessible and generous, and open to
consider new problems favorable.
Some say that opinions reached in
best weather states are safest to invest
on. Weather often effect logic, and
many mems most sylogistic conclu-
sions are varied by heat and cold.
