1s4s and 1894.

From the upper big bend Of the
Columbia to the Siskiyous Of southern
Oregon come reports Of extraordinary
activity in the placer mines-sneh geld
en- yields as have not before been taken
out in a quarter Of century Without
question the year 1894 will be second
only to the golden era Of 1849-50. This
will be due in part to the enhanced
value of gold and the chsapness of pro-
visions and supplies, together with the
opening up of new lines of transporta-
ton; in part to the diminished inter-
est in quartz mining, which has sent an
army OF prospectors panning out the
golden bars and gravel, and in psrt to
the extremely high water, which en-
ables the miners to work the higher
and richer bars hitherto untouched,
and at the same time cuts nev chan
nels and tears out old auriferous drift
and deposits.
In the feverish rush Of 25 and 80 years
ago the country was barely scratched
over. A great deal of ground was over
looked, and vast areas that were un-
profitable with -four at rs cents pound,
and all else in proportion, will now give
profitable returns. The Chinese fol-
lowed in the wake of the early miners,
it is true, but they are poor prospsctors,
slow workers, and cling to the primi-
tive methods, and, besides, we're unable
to get at the higher bars and benches
1t must not be assumed, though, that
every man can take pick, shovel and
blankets and 60 out and find "ounce
diggings," or wash out big wages. That
was impossible even in the aush days
of California. Some msn cannot sue
cesd at anything. When thousands of
miners were working ounce diggings
along the Feather snd the Yuba, hum
dreds were ''dead broke" down at the
bay. Nevertheless, many will make
placer mining pay, aud some will take
out handsome little fortunes.
There is SON stbing about placer min
ing that calls out the best traits of
American citizenship. 1t fosters a
rugged Independence and cultivates an
admirable respect for law and manhood.
The placer miner seldom allows tho pro-
fessional agitator to lead him around.
He despises tyranny and has no use for
'bums;" is frse-handed and generous,
and not given to chrome grumbling.
His labors will do much this year to re-
store prosperity. That he may enjoy
success is the wish of all.-Spokane
Review.

Look out for a fakir who is going
around town getting photos to copy.
These fellows do the meanest kind of a
petty larceny business. They make
you tempting offer to copy picture
which you value, get it out of your pos
session and then some day you will get
letter from some city stating that
your picture has been copied and
framed and to send them, say $40, to
pay for frame worth about $1.50, and
you rake up the $40 and send them to
get the original back. Shut your doors
on these fakirs.

The Great Strike.


The Pullman Car Company has pro-
vided the travelling public with elegant
comforts and conveniences for which
the travelling public has most chesrfuIly
paid sxhorbitant rates. Protected by
United States patents, the Pullman
Company has grown into a great mono
paly, lording it over railway managers
as we'll as travellers. Not content with
the charges it has made travellers pay, it
has underpaid its employees and made
them depend upon tips and ether sys-
TENS of bleeding the public. 1t has be-
come a monopoly which can lord it
over other monopolies, the railroads, as
we'll as levy tribute from travellers
It's thirty million dollars capital has all
been gathered by tribute. Now it is
attempting to further increase its enor-
nous gains by cutting the wages of the
skilled mechanics in its shops down to
figure which will barely allow them
to live. The independence OF Ameri-
can Mechanics has revolted against the
cut and great strike is on hand. For
tunately the strikers places cannot be
filled by Huns and Italians, and they
are thus better off than the employees of
the coal barons whose places are sup
piled from the slums Of the old world.
In sympathy with the Pullman strikers
the railway employees on nearly all the
great railway systems of the United
States have refused to handle Pullman
cars. As soon as they refuse to run q
train with Pullman attached, the
managers of the roads discharge the
ones refusing, and then all the en-
ployes of that road refuse to work until
the persons discharged are renstated.
That road is thus tied up, and one after
another all the roads in the one hun
dred and seventy thousand miles of
track in the United States are idle.
Commerce is parslyzed, the mails are
not delivered, freight, however perish
able, lies in cars, whose wheels do not
turn. A fight is on between capital and
labor in which both sides not only suffer
but the entire country suffers in conse-
quence. For our part, when we see
how this country's affairs have been
run go long in the Interest of plutocrats,
when we see the most powerful legisla-
tive body in the world framing tariff
laws in the interest of sugar kings and
coal barons and Wall and LON bard
street money changers, we are willing
to suffer our part in the paralysis of
business to see the monopoliss downed.
tbs fight for principles on the part
of the employees and for monopolistic
control on the part of the railroads.
President Debs, of the Railway EN-
ployes Union, declares this fight for
life, and we hope he will win.
Let US all make the same kind of
fight with our ballots next election,
and fire out the ready tools of monopo-
lies and trusts who now run things in
Washington.

The Ralph Mil Burned.

The Ralph mill, owned and run by
the Poorman Consolidated Mining Com
pany, was com plstsy destroyed by dre
on the evening Of July Fourth. This
mill, built year ago by Mr.. Lesch, OF
the Ralph Mining Pool, was run for ;
short time on ore from the Ruth mine
and then psssed into the possession Of
the Poorman Mining Company. The
new owners made extensive improve
ments on the plant, putting in copper
plates, and two six foot Frue Vsnners,
and had it 30 thoroughly equipped that
it at once acquired the reputation Of be-
ing the most economical mill in the
county to run. and was saving niger
per centags from the ore than any OF
the other mills. 1t has bsen running
steadily and very proitably on Poor
man ore for the past three months.
Ten new stamps had just been put in
and would have been ready to drop
within day or two more.
The loss of the mill to the owners
will be considerable more than its cost
from the fact that the great Poorman
mine, until now steady producer, will
be now comparatively idle until a new
mill can be erected. This, however,
will doubtless be done with the least
possible delay, as the company already
contemplated building q much larger
mill.
Mr.. Kemp van Ee, the manager, il
now in the east, having gone to New
York to meet party of capitalists,
some of whom, are largely interested in
the Poorman Company. The party is
expected in Silver City about the 18th
inst. Probably before their arrival con-
tracts will be let for the construction Of
new mill, as Mr.. Kemp van Ee is al
ready in possession of the plans and
estimates made by Fraser & Chalmers,
and will want to rush matters to have it
completed while the summer lasts and
the roads are in good condition for
hauling in the machinery.
The mill is supposed to have canght
fire from the retort which had been
used during the afternoon.

PECULIAR EXPLOSIONS.
| What the Influence of Sympathetic Musical
Vibrations May Accomplish.

What the Influence of Sympathetic Musical
Vibrations May Accomplish.
Musicians are well aware of the fact
that if any note Of the gamut be clearly
sounded or sung within vibration range
of any suitable musical instrument--say
harp or piano-that the string, whichever
it may be, tuned to the same note will
begin to sound upon its own account, or
respond as it is termed. If the singer
then refrains from repeating the note he
began with, but sings another one, the
speaking" string instantly relapses into
silence, while another responds to the new
note. In the same way an organ pipe
will respond, as indeed will vase, a hol-
low vessel with thin sides, or even an
apartment, if the particular note to which
they are respectively "tuned" be first
sounded.
Now, it will be noticed by many that in
constructing stores for the reception of ex-
plosives it is very much the fashion to
build series of exactly the same dimen-
sions, and to place them, with almost
mathematical accuracy, at equal distances
apart. They are filed with explosives.
One day an accident explodes their con-
tents, and everybody is surprised when,
despite the next building being 'much
too far off, and with intervening walls
10 feet thick, some or all the other stores
blow up in due Sequence What other re-
suit could ensue?
All the buildings are identical in size
and capacity. Hence the mote" sounded
in the first--whether it be one of triumph
or of tragUdy-fnds immediate response"
in No. 2, when REINFORCED by second
explosion, the next store cannot do other
wise than follow the example of the other
two, and SO the mischief spreads. 1t is
important to bear in mind that we are
now dealing with the influence of sympa-
thetic musical vibrations only, not with
the mechanical impulse of a detonic tire
NOR or jar For it is assumed in this
case that the buildings are SO far apart
and otherwise protected" that, if they
are inharmonic, the material in one can
not be fired simply by decorating the con-
tents of another adjacent thereto.
The foregoing proposition has it's origin
in some experiments with iodide of nitro
gen and illuminate of mercury, in the
course of which the writer found that
small quantities of these sensitive explo-
siyes placed in sounding boxes" of prr-
cisely the same Dimensions could be ex-
ploded by the defamation of one of them at
greater distances from the detonator than,
coeteris paribus, was possible in the open,
or when in boxes (of other shapes) not
relatively harmonic" to the detonator
box.-Ninetecpth Century.
