The Carlisle Mines.


Last week the Enterprise had a
very interesting and important ar
ticle describing what is practi cally
the new camp ofCarlisle. Since the
Carlisle company abandoned the
camp the Liberal, as well as all
the other county papers, have pub
ished many articles telling of the
strikes that have been made in the
camp, but no article has given as
extensive description of them as
this one. 1t seems that since the
Carlisle company left the camp,
thin king that nothing was left there,
that more valuable discovers have
been made than were ever before
known in the camp. Investors and
mining engineers have fought shy
of the camp on the record made by
the Carlisle company. Last fall Mr..
A. 2. Loberg, mining engineer
of experience, went in there, and
after working for a time found it
a most promising camp. He induced
his friend, H. w. Child, to come
and inspect the camp. Mr.. Child
promised to do so, and while on his
way there stopped over in San Fran
cisco where the camp received such a
black eye from the mining men who
are supposed to be acquainted with
this country, that Mr.. Child would
not have made the trip only he had
pledged his word to do so. After
Mr.. Child had been in the camp a
short time, made a few assays and
secured bonds on some properties,
he was very glad he came. He sent
samples of ore to Mr.. E. B. Braden
of the government assay Office at
Helena, Montana. After Mr.. Bar
den had assayed the samples he took
the first train for Carlisle and want
ed an interest in the contra is that
Messrs. Loburg & Childs had Sc
cured. They told him he could
have an interst providing he would
build narrow gauge railrord from
the mines to either Duncan or
Lordsburg, which he Immediately
promised to do. Messrs. Braden
and Childs were in the city Satur-
day, en- route to San Francisco, to
make arrangements for the building
of the road. They are both exper-
fenced mining engineers and inform
the Liberal that the article in the
Enterprise is not overdrawn in the
least. They say that in their ex-
perience in mining they have never
seen such prospects as are exhibited
in Carlisle, that there is nothing in
Montana that can compare with
them, and they figure it will be but
a short time before they make com

THE SENATE FREE CUliiAGE
BILL.

By vote of six to five the Fl
nance Committee of the Senate
agreed to report bill for the un-
restricted coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to |. Five Democrats
and one silver Senator voted for
the bill and four Republicans and
one Democrat against it, The
measure provides that any$ Ameri-
can citizen may take silver bullion
of the requisite fneness to any
mint of the United States and have
it ccined into standard dollars con-
tanning 4l2 IL grains each, the
Government to retain the differ
ence between the New York price
of the bullion on the day of deposit
and its coinage value. At first
glance this retention of the seigni-
orage looks like an unfair discrim-
nation against silver, and, as q
matter of course,it is not as satisfac-
tory as a straight free coinage bill
would be; but more careful consid-
Grafton must convince everybody
that if this bill should be enacted
the price of silver would immed-
lately rise to S1.29 an ounce. In
effect, therefore, if not in theory,
this bill would give us free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the ra-
ito of l6 to l, and it's enactment
would be great blessing to the
people of the United States.

instruct members of the house or

THE ISSUE OF 1896.

The masses of the people are
getting tired of trifling and will de
mand plain and frank expression
upon the currency ques-
ton in the party platforms of 1896
The Democratic silver league of
has constructed a plat
form the meaning of which cannot
be misunderstood. 1t reads as
follows:
"We favor the immediate restora
ton of free and unlimited coinage
of gold and silver at the present
ratio of 16 to without waiting
for aid or consent of any other ma
ton on earth"
This was adopted in June last,
and since that time Nebraska,
Ohio, Kansas, Arkansas, South
Carolina, Whyoming, Colorado,
California, Montana, Utah and Ida
no. Democratic state conventions
have declared in favor of 16 to |.
All the labor organizations have
sent petitions to Congress asking
for free coinage of silver at 16 to /.
The trans-Mississippi Congress
representing all the states westofthe
Mississippi, has adopted the Nebras-
ka platform and demanded its ad-
option by the American Congress.
The Federation of labor conven-
ton recently held declared unan-
imously in favor of the Nebraska
plank. We predict with great con
fidence that the Nebraska deliver
ance will be the financial plank of
the Demcratic party.
1t will probably reassert the doe
tine of Jefferson and Jackson that
all currency shall be issued by the
General Government and that cor
poratioL currency shall be suppress
ed. The peurile and cowardly plea
that the United States cannot es-
tablish and maintain its own
money Standards, but must conform
its action to suit the wishes Of gold
worshippers of other countries will
receive the emphatic condemnation
of the freemen of America. The
falsehood has been industriously
circulated that gold is now the
measuring unit of all nations, when
the fact is that three fourths of the
human family know no money but
silver. OF fourteen hundred mil
lions of the worlds population only
about four hundred millions use
gold as the measure of value. Il
as is confidently asserted, the
action would bring our country tc
the single silver standard, as the
United States has more domestic
and foreign commerce than any
three other nations, other govern
ments would be compelled to recog
nize silver as money or lose theil
most valuable trade. France anC
the whole Latin Union would
make haste to join us. All the
Central and South American Re
publics have silver, so have China
and Japan.

A B0HEMIAN's RUIN.

The distressing news comes from Lon
don that George Augustus Sala, well
known in San Francisco, and for many
years bearer in London of the jocose title
of prince of Bohemians," has fallen
upon disaster, and in his old age finds
himself bankrupt in health and pocket
He lost the comfortable savings of years
in an endeavor to establish paper of his
own-a fatal ambition to which many of
his kind have Welded in an evil moment
Unlike Mark Twain, he cannot work now
for competency in his old age, and must
face the end with all empty pocket and a
blasted ambition.
His mistake was in assuming that the
strength of his name would insure the
prosperity of his business venture. This
has been tried over and over by men of
his class, and almost invariably with the
same result; and yet there perhaps is not
living writer of his kind who does not
cherish the hope that at some time he will
be his own master and the proprietor of a
profitable business.
The history of the publishing business
bristies with instances of writers whose
judgment on finance, business, war, public
policy and many other concerns which
affect the material affairs of mankind was
intelligent and trustw orthy, even sought
by men specially trained in such matters;
and yet these writer's were wholly unable to

AT SAN BERNARDINO.

The great festival at San Bernardino
opens to-day. 1t will be the last of the
series of festas which have been held
throughout the State this summer, and the
present indications are that it will be con-
Quoted on splendid scale. The main in
tention is to make it as close a reproduce
ton of the old-time Spanish. iestas as pos
sible, including some features which per-
haps had been better omitted. But it is
too early to say that these will prove Of
fensive. In view OF the fact that similar
contests announced on former occasions in
other parts of the State proved innocuous,
it is not likely that San Bernardino will
make a mistake.
4 great pavilion and amphitheater have
been constructed, for the festival will last
throughout the week and many thousands
of visitors are expected. The general
character of the entertainment will be so
different from that Of other festas that it
will probably attract large numbers on
that account. The general idea is to have
a season of vigorous sports, including races
of many kinds, boxing and the like.
The special inducements in the way of
reduced rates offered by the railroad COM
panies will contribute to the expected
large size OF the gathering. San Bernar-
dino, always interesting, is particularly at
tractiye at this time of the year. 1t is
separated from the rugged Sierra Madre
by one of the handsomest stretches of
valley in California, and is included in the
great orange region which extends from
Santa Ana on the south through Riverside
to the mountains on the north. Con-
tiguous to it are Redlands, Riverside, AL
tadena, the San Gabriel Valley and Pasa-
dena, and not far away is Los Angeles.
The San Bernardino festival presents an
opportunity for visiting at very small
cost the whole of the wonderful garden
that lies in the southern end of the State.

A WONDERFUL CONTRAST.

The completion of the Alpine section of
the Mount Lowe electric road in Southern
California brings the terminus of the line
to the SHOWS which prevail on the noun
tain in winter. In recognition of the pleas
ures made accessible by this fact the AL
pine Club of Los Angeles has erected at
the terminus commodious clubhouse and
proposes to open this winter a series of
winter pastimes, made possible by the pres
ence OF abundant snow. These will in
clude sleighing and toboggan slides. Thus
the remarkable fact is presented of winter
pleasures in the heart OF a semi-tropical
region. 1t will require but an hour to
traverse the distance separating the orange
groves and rose gardens of the valley from
the deep SHOWS of winter.
Apart from the pleasures which these
delightful sports will yield, the persons
who avail themselves of the opportunity
will receive health benefits of the most
valuable kind. The whole coast of Cali
fornia presents so level thermal conditions
and is withal so stimulating by reason of
the presence of constant ocean winds, that
it has long been a serious question with
physicians whether it would not be better
to make a change from the coast to the
cold of the high Sierras for a short time
during the winter. This does not mean to
say that the health of the people seems to
require such a change, for that they are
the soundest and healthiest people in the
country admits of no denial. It is merely
question of attaining still better results
that short change to cold attitudes is
suggested.
The people of San Francisco have the
grandest of all opportunities to make such
a change, and bring with it sharper con-
trast and greater variety of pleasures
than are possible in the extreme southern
end of the State. The railroad carries
them to Truckee, whence Bonner Lake is
distant only a few miles by road which
in winter makes the finest kind of sleigh
ing. Best of all, the lake freezes in winter,
and thus presents field for skating that
cannot be surpassed. The Burlingame
Club has demonstrated the eagerness with
which the well-to-do people of the City
take to wholesome outdoor sports in sum-
mer. 1t is a reasonable conclusion that a
similar club might establish winter quar-
tiers at Truckee on the plan of the Los
Angeles club, and so employ the advan-
tages offered by Bonner Lake.
Besides the pleasure and health deriv-
able from such source, the matter of edu-
cation should not be overlooked. A native
Californian in very cold country finds
himself deplorably helpless. He cannot
engage in any of the outdoor winter
sports because he has not learned them,
and is likely to suffer physically from the
cold. A few short winter seasons at
Truckee would educate and harden him.

AN AMUSING DISCOVERY.

A suit has been brought in Oakland to
recover the amounts due on certain notes
given by the Dayie Transportation Com
pany, which fourished brief spell and
died incontinently about two years ago.
The action has disclosed for the first time
the names of the stockholders in the con-
Germ, and it is explained that these have
been kept secret all this while for fear that
the Southern Pacific Company would wreak
vengeance on all who contributed to the
support of the opposition line. This news
in itself is sufficiently amusing without
the additional information, cleaned from
reading of the list of shareholders, that
some of them were protested friends of the
great monopoly. 1t is hoped that the
death of the opposition has served to ex-
terminate whatever intention to wreak
vengeance on its promoters the Southern
Pacific may have been supposed to cherish.
The two interesting deductions to be
drawn from this disclosure are that certain
citizens fear the Southern Pacific and that
some of the old corporations protested
friends will deliver blow for the public
good if they think there is no danger of be-
ing discovered in the act. The questions
then arise, Does this condition of affairs
exist elsewhere in the State? Can it be
taken, if it does exist, to explain many
things which otherwise would be inex-
plicable2
If old stories be accepted as true, there
are merchants in California outside of
Oakland who have been Influenced by such
considerations as those which are said to
have existed in our neighbor across the
bay. It has been explained that this
alone, worked out both by intimidation
of the recalcitrant and reward of the
faithful, has been sufficient to explain the
absence of competition in transportation.
1t is well enough to remember that such
stories have been circulated, and it is i'm
portant to do all that is possible to make
them appear absurd. We should hate to
admit that in California man can be
found SO lacking in the higher elements of
manhood and the better qualifications for
success in life as to have entertained a
fear, at any time in his life, of anything
except reputation for meanness, coward
ice and disloyalty to his State and his
people.
Ii here and there such a man has ex-
listed we may be sure that, as the master
of his own affairs and factor in the up
building of his State, he has been a non
entity, and hence his friendship for the
! great corporation could not have brought
it conspicuous benefit or done the State
appreciate harm. However that may be
with reference to the past, the time for it
! is gone and will never return. The organ
ization of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad
has put final stop to that, and awakened
the pride and courage OF all who may ever
have faltered.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Yesterday afternoon as Judge Joachimsen
left his Police Court broad smile spread over
his face, and he chuckled to himself as though.
he had just heard the best joke in the world.
1t is, by the way, nothing unusual to hear the
Judge break out in laughter at the most unex-
pected times, and as rule there is generally
some pretty good reason for it.
Cant you tell me that joke, Judge?" said
County Clerk Curry, who happened to be
sweeping along the corridors with the we'll
known Curry stride.
Certainly. Come back minute and I'll let
