TO INSPECT THE RIVERS.

The United States Senators for Califor-
MIA. accompanied by several Congress-
men, Nom bers of the Legislature and
others, yesterday entered upon an exam
ination of San Francisco harbor and con-
tiguous bays, and will to-day begin an
examination of the Sacramento River
from Redding down, to be followed by
an examination of the San Joaquin.
The object of the inspection is TO inform
the minds of the legislators concerning
the actual condition Of the navigable
streams, with view to steps to be taken
by them to secure from the Federal Gov
ernment the adoption of measures to
counteract the distressingly bad influ-
encss of hydraulic mining debris and
detritus in the rivers. One account says
that the purpose is to inaugurate a sys-
tam of dredging to clear the channels.
This is all right so far as it goes, but it
will not bs sufficient. What the legis-
lators will see in the way of object les
sons. and what they will learn from sta
tistical information to be impaired TO
them, will lead them. if they are moved
at all, to consider far more effective
means OF restoration of navigation than
dredging.
They must consider prevention as
means to the end in view, and we do not
believe that dams will be deemed prevent
i've by them since all efforts in that direc-
ton, as the RECORD UNION has repeat
edly shown, have either been failures, or
have been promoted on lines that are in
efficient and must lead on to failure. The
legislators have undertaken no easy task.
Their trip up and down the rivers ought
to be deliberate and slow, and their ex-
animation detailed. Such examination
would convince them that the proper
way to remove an evil is to strike at it's
ROOT.
However, we may expect good from
the examination to be made. 1t is very
gratifying to find Federal legislators
" VIC uoCo5S1Iy AOA dOSAOh OAA
the part of the Federal Government for
the restoration ana preservation Of the
navigsbility of the free highways that
are the heritage of all the people. What
they will see and learn will largely quail
ify them to speak by the card when they
appeal to Congress to give the Feather.
the Sacramento and the San Joaquin the
recognition their Importance and the
commerce of which they are and should
be the carriers demands.
All possible assistance should be given
these gentlemen in making their exam
ination and every facility afforded for the
Gscertainment by them of all the facts.
We apprehend that these Senator'S and
Congressman will find that the RECORD
UNION has not a whit exaggerated con-
cerning the condition of the navigsble
streams the menace to which they are
exposed, or the actual damage they are
taking from the results OF hydraulic
mining.

De Lamar is working to get a good
doubt that sometime in the near fu-
ture the holdings of the interest in
the camp will be considerable. Besides
looking over the Mercur itself and
prospecting the Sacramento, De Lamar
recently secured lease and bond on
the three claims of Captain Ryan,
which lie side by side north of the b.
nanza group.
These three claims are as yet unde-
veloped, although there has been
enough done on them to show IL "
are good prospects, and De Lamar has
decided to take hold of them and put
a. force of men at work this winter in
proving what they are worth. The
amount of the bond could not be as
cert9ined yesterday but is understood
to be a good fair figure.
Nothing definite in relation to the
deal for the Mercur could be learned
yesterday, although it is said nego-
tiations are still pending looking to-
ward the transfer of the property. One
Of the heaviest owners in the mine
stated that there was a fair prospect
for the sale right now but that as yet
NOTHING definite in relation to the price
or the time of sale could be given out.
AS to the Sacramento, the work of
Sampling the mine is still going on
hut will be completed in few days.
Just as soon as this is done the experts
in the employ Of De Lamar will make
a report on the condition of both prop
critics and thel. something may be
looked for in the line of definite ac-
zion.

language as ''recalcitrant or obstrep-
orouS priests I said to the cores
pendent that there nothing was known
OF an appeal by Bishop onacum to the
civil authorities and the last official
information received of the case was
that the priests had been cited to APP
pear for investigation; on what charge
L did not know. They had refused to
appear Having refused to appear the
delegation was informed that the case
had been decided against them by the
diocese investigation committee by
default: that the reported further ac-
ton of the bishop with regard to the
invofing of the aid of the civil au-
liberties to dispossess them was not
known at the legation except through
newspapers. In answer to the ques-
ton whether the bishop should in
woke the civil authorities or not, L
said that under proper circumstances
he could do SO, but that l did not
know whether these circumstances
were verified in the present case or
not.

DAILY GETS Al NINE.
Montana Millionaire Invests In
WaShin gtOn.

Marcus Daily has just completed ne
gotiations by which he acquires pos
session of a magnificent mining prop
erty. The details are given in the
Spokane Review, which says:
Marcus Daily, the copper king of
! Montana, has just bonded the Winni-
peg mine in Wellington camp for
$4,000 and the Calumet for $4,000,
per cent. down, and today put a large
! force of men at work building a wagon
road and erecting cabins and bunk
houses. The bonds are not to be re-
deemed for a year, and the provision
requires that the prospects be worked
continuously until that time, or the
contract is forfeited by the purchaser.
The Winnipeg mine is situated right
on the summit of the Boundary range,
about a mile from the government wa
gon road 1t was discovered on the
18th of last June by j. H. Mcintosh,
who Immediately went to work on
the shaft. which he sunk about 40
feet, revealing an immense deposit Of
ore, the highest grade of any in the
camp, having had assays running as
high as So ounces of gold to the ton.
IL the shaft now there are Is feet of
solid ore. not an inch of gangue in it,
which. it is said, will average some
strictly gold and copper proposition,
there being not enough silver to sep
arate the minerals.
The Calumet was located carly last
spring by H. c. Johnson, the former
school teacher at Grand Forks, and
Dick McLaren, and is an extension of
the Winnipeg. While not having as
good a showing as the Winnipeg, a
fine body of ore has already been eX-
posed.
This deal is also looked upon in the
light of being the forerunner of nu-
merous and larger transactions this
fall and winter. In reality this vast
section, extending from the east side
of the north fork of Kettle river to
the Similikameen. is one vast min
ing camp. A year ago only sections
of it were located, but now the lines
of the camps have come together, and
some of the best claims are the new
discoveries.
There have been up TO date about
twenty experts in the country this fall,
and almost all the prospects have been
sampled by some one of them. so that
the country is getting pretty well
known.
1t is reported that a, deal is on for
Crazy Browns jig volcanic noun
tain iron can and that Marcus Daily
is the probable purchaser. Mr.. Brown
is preparing to work both the Volcanic
Mountain mine and the Wolverine, on
the west side of the river this winter,
and he says it doesn't make any diff
ference whether he bonds them or not,
he's prepared to develop them into
mines.

pearance on the foreign markets. Our
London correspondent informs us that
some Cripple Creek claims have been
bought and capitalized. while some
others have lately been examined and
bought by Mr.. Hamilton Smith for
London parties. These mires are not
floated by irresponsible promoters. but
are bought out by the Exploration
company, a strong and well known
concern. The same company. has also
in hand a new Alaska mining HOP
erty, which is reported tt have some
thing of the character which has
made the Alaska-Treadwell q. success
full operation. We have also lately
noted the sale of several California
mines to foreign buyers.
While these transactions are all of
comparatively small amount, they are
of interest as showing th+t the atten-
ton of foreign investors ie once more
being directed to this country. They
are, we believe, only the beginning of
a movement which, when Orce started,
will have tendency to increase rap
idly We have often called attention
to the fact that no better opportuni-
ties for the profitable Use of capital
can be found anywhere, and if Euro
pean capitalists realize his It will be
both for their advantage and our own.
The main point is that ibis move
ment should be kept in good hands.
The public abroad is not always able
to discriminate between good and bad
properties. AS long as the movement
is under the control of responsible par
ties it will be beneficial; but anything
approaching an American boom, which
will bring the activity of The promo
ter into play, is to be deprecated:
There is room here for the nse of all
the capital which our abundant re-
sources may attract, but every wild
cat worked off on foreigners is

PARK CITY MINES.
Works Which Are Now in Progress
in That Famous Camp.


Hon. r. C. Chambers returned from
the Park last evening and reports that
on the Ontario pipe line, the dam for
the reservoirs on the principal lakes
are completed. When the recent storm
came on about thirty men were work
ing upon a reservoir dam at Silver
lake. which work is now suspended, as
the storm left about two feet OF snow
there. This work will now be delayed
for the winter and as a result ABOUT
forty or fifty men are out of JOB at
this point on that account. 1t is I'M
derstood that as soon as spring opens
the task of completion will be resumed.
Work on the Ontario No. shaft has
been suspended on account of the
heavy flow of water coming in at the
bottom o, the shaft The men are
now engaged in underwriting This
shaft on the 1900 foot level and hope
to drain it so the shaft can be re-
sumed
The Day-West Improvements, which
have been described in The Herald
are delayed on account of having to
wait for lumber and machinery, which
however are expected every day.
The DAILY company proper is sinking
No. 2 shaft and expects to cut the 900
foot level of the Ontario in few days.
Otherwise these mines are pursuing
the even tenor of their way.

THE EAGLE PROPERTIES.
Good Showing Made on Mine at
Mercur.

Every day that goes by but adds to
the steadily growing confidence in
Mercur mining properties, and all who
have holdings in that now famous dis
trict are bending every energy to-
wards development work.
AS this development is pushed stead
lily forward, the several owners are
becoming more and more confident as
the showing warrants it.
One of the late arrivals from the
Mercur district is George L. Korner,
who went out a few days ago to in
critics of the Eagle Gold Mining and
Milling company. There are four
claims in all, and they lie up against
the Rover mine on two sides. and are
on a direct line between the Mercur
and the Zion Hill.
The company was organized three
years ago, with Judge Goodwin presi-
dent, E. E. Clark, vice-president, w.
z. Hubbard, James K Gillespie, and
George L. Korner directors. 1t is but
recently that work began in earnest,
showing ore that assays 1888 in gold
to the ton. At a depth of 60 feet the
assays run from 81 to 50 in gold, and
the value has increased in a direct
ratio to the depth gone down.
A force of seven men are now at
work, and another shift will be put
on in a few days. A shaft house. is
being built and all the workings will
be enclosed preparatory to supplant-
ing the whim by steam power They
are also building a hotel, as opera
tons from now on will warrant such
convenience for the force of men that
will be kept employed. The intention
Is to keep sinking until the foot wall
