the cost of living. The merchant who
sells him flour and meat discovers the de-
cline in the value of the medium of ex-
change long before he does and protects
himself by parting with less of his goods.
But to the man who works for wages
dollar is dollar, and it is only after a long
experience with the high prices of the gro
Gerry shop that he discovers that groceries
have not really gone up, but his dollar
has gone down Even then it is difficult
for him to get his employer to recognize
the diminishing purchasing power of the
dollar to the point of increasing
the number of dollars paid him,
and if he succeeds in time in
doing SO he never succeeds to the extent
of getting an advance sufficient to make
up the loss which he incurred between
the time of the fall of the dollar and the
time of his discovery of it. If the corpor-
atlons of this country which owe large
debts and the merchants who have large
stocks of goods on hand, and the manu-
facturers who employ large numbers of
workingmen should advocate free coin
age of silver it could be said for them
that their advocacy was based on certain
reasonable expectation of deriving some
temporary advantage from it at least.
The corporations could pay off their debts
cheaper, the merchants could dispose of
their goods at nominal advance at least,
and the employer of labor could for con-
siderable time get his help for consider
ably less. In the long run these advan
tages would be offset by disadvantages,
but temporarily benefit would accrue
to all of these classes But to the great
mass of men who are workers for wages a
depreciation of the currency, the result
of undue initiation, or any other cause,
means a loss from the start and a loss
that is never made up. Now this is not
mere speculation. The truth of it is be-
ing demonstrated in the neighbnring re-
public of Mexico. The depreci alton of
the currency there has reduced the pur-
chasing power of the laborer's wages
nearly one-half Business is booming for
the employer because he sells his goods in
foreign countries for gold which has not
declined. In Manchester, England, the
manufacturers are agitating for silver as
means of Indirectly cutting the wages
of their employees. If they should do it in
this country we shouldn't be surprise, but
that their employees should do it for them
as seems to be the case in many parts of
the country, is simply astounding, and
is only to be explained by the fact that
they are SO i'll informed on the subject that
they do not realize what they are up to-

SILVER AND THE WAGE EARNER.

We venture to say that ninety per cent.
of the people who are shouting for the
free coinage of silver are doing
SO because they think that in
some way, which they do not pre-
tend to understand, free coinage
will boom business, make opportunities
for employment more numerous and ad-
vance wages. AS far as this notion rests
upon anything but mere imagination, the
basis of it is that an increase in the vol
une of money is attended with an in
crease of prices, that it affords some
stimulus to business. There is certain
amount of truth in this. Imitation is gen.
orally succeeded by an advance in price,
but the cause of this advance is not an
increase of demand or DESIRE or diminu-
tion of supply, which are always at the
bottom Of any real increase in value, but
a diminution of the value of the circulat-
ing medium. The Grise is merely nom
inal, the result of the decrease of the
length of the standard of measure
nent. Nevertheless it is not with
ut profit to some people; but the
ople whom it benefits are not the work
ngmen and the men of small means. 1t is
the speculators who anticipate the change
and get ready to take advantage of it,
and the individuals and corporations that
are heavily in debt that reap almost the
entire benefit Tho first effect on the man

We presume the real object of all the
sputtering in the Board of Aldermen
hbout the employment of PAYERS from
Boston was to discredit the street COM
mission. Certainly the zeal of the gentle
tnen who are complaining in behalf of Ia
Dor takes on very humorous aspect in
view of the fact that only few weeks
ago they were all voting and fighting for
a rule that every laboring man who
worked on the streets, no matter how
faithful or how needy, should be kicked
out at the end of every month. We fear
that the tears they are now shedding in
behalf of him are of the crocodile varie-

WEDNESDAY. JULY 8.

Prof Wilson's prediction that the new
tariff law would furnish sufficient rev.
enue has evidently not been fulfilled, for
there is a deficit of s42, 600, 600 in the treas
ury at the end of the year. 1t might be re-
piled that the tariff law was not in oper-
alton throughout the year, which is true,
but in every month in which it has been
in operation there has been deficit.
The income tax would not have served to
make good the deficit for the highest es-
innate of the proceeds from that was
$50, 900, 900. The truth is that Prof Will
son didn't know so much as he thought
he did.

Twenty-Five photographs of scenes
in Portland and vicinity stuck up in va
rious parts of the earth would, we are
inclined to think, do Portland no appre-
ciable good. But this is matter of
opinion, and if the aldermen think other
wise and believe theresis profit in this kind
of advertisingswe shall raise no objection
to their going ahead with it. provided
they do SO in a business like way. But it
must be evident to them that if twenty
photographs will do good, sixty photo
graphs will do three times as much. and
if sixty can be had for the same sum as
twenty very small amount of business
sense would suggest the purchase of the
sixty rather than the twenty. We make
these observations, not in the interest of
Mr.. Lamson's offer, for we do not believe
in tho acceptance of either Mr. Lamson' s
or Mr.. Gays. If the aldermen have made
up their minds that this kind of adver-
tising will benefit the city, the proper
thing to do would be to follow the city
ordinance and issue proposals for such
material as this kind of advertising re-
quires. Then all Portland artists and
photographers will have chance to com
pete, the city will get its supplies at the
lowest price, and there will be no feeling
that any one man or one concern has
been especially favored. 1t is to be hoped
that Mayor Baxter will veto the order
that has passed the council to purchase
the twenty-five photographs, and will
give the council a chance to start this
business on proper basis, if it be con-
sidered worth starting at all

Indian Patience.

No race of people since the world began
ever possessed the unwearying patience
that is found to exist among the North
American Indians. For days they will
track an enemy, going without sleep or
food, and on account Of this wonderful
gift which has been given them, they have
been enabled to still retain an existence
where other nations, with the same vicis-
situdes to contend with, would have long
since been wiped from the face of the
earth
This same patience which enters into
every part of Indian life has exerted its
perceptible influence in their study of the
barks, herbs, roots and gums of the for
est, which they have used as means of
cure in cases Of sickness and to the use of
which may be attributed the great lon
gevity for which the race is famous
When few years ago the Kickapoo In
dians gave to the world their celebrated
remedies, they conferred upon the human
race blessing Of no small proportion.
Sufferers today from troubles resulting
from heart, kidney, liver, stomach or
blood should follow the Indians example
and use Kickapoo Indian Sagwa, which
may he obtained at any druggists, and
like the Indian, procure thereby that
health which is beyond all price
The kickapoo Indians are located at
their village near Fort Allen Park, where
they may be seen daily. Their medicine
men may be consulted and will give their
advice free Of CHARGE

streak give from S105 to Sl12 and the ore mills to within s of it's assay value. These returns arc from 100 tons of ore milled.
 Another mine with a fine record is the Silver Flake, owned by Wicker x Morse. Your correspondent could find neither of the proprietors on the claim, and took the liberty of going to the bottom of the shaft. The vein shows all the way from two to five feet of good looking sul- phuret ore. The vein is surely set in the ground right, that is smaller on top aud larger in the bottom. It is rumored that this claim has just been sold for a good round sum.
 The Parker, owned by Hughes X Burton, is another property that IS past the prospect stage, aud may be called mIne. On this claim over 1000 feet of development work has been doue. The ledge shows two feet of fine free milling ore, which plates $35 per ton. The same par ties own the south extension of the Parker, which shows the same sized ore body, with same value.
 Hart es Morgan own the ''95' and Gold Basin claims, situated about a half mile east of the Empire. These claims have been quite recently To- cated, but the owners have already done over loo feet of development work, and have also had mill tests made of the ore A ten ton mill test gave Sl5 on the plates.
 The Minnie, owned by Vim. Hart, is a recent location, with a shaft down ten feet. The ledge is about two feet wide.

OPINIONS NOT cENsoRsHIr.

The JoUkNAL-MTNER has tried law fully hard" to conduct itself m a manner that will meet the spproba- tion of its recently-moved-into-heav- enly-quarters contemporary, but from the occasional snapping and snarliug of the aforesaid contemp. it has evidently failed in it's pur- pose. Because this paper recently exposed bare faced miuing swindle aud then expressed a decided opIn- ion in regard to a sentence passed by the court in a recent case, and in true Christian spirit, criticised Thanksgiving sermon, our contemp- orarY snaps at us this morning as follows:
 "rhe JoURNAL-MINLR appears to have elected itself not only mining and judicial censor for this com munity. but also Christ's special agent on earth to labe! real Christ ianity and keep his modern apostles on the right track"
 While in the snapping attitude 1t transforms itself iuto a snarl as fOi- lows:
 ~The ''see me" or be besmirched plan of running a newspaper is not the best known. If the J. NJ. man don't mind his own business and let at least the preachers alone, people will commence to dub him the only original Jesus Christ Martin, and no style of Christianity will pass as genuine without the J. c. M.' brand"
 Now the JoURNAL-MNER is not run on the "see me" principle but it has opinions on all subjects. It has opinions of courts, juries, mining swindlers, preachers, lawyers, doc tors, editors and all other public or semi-public men or questions. But because of these opinions, and be- cause the paper has the audacity, i've presume that is the proper word to use) to express that opin ion, we are charged with being a cen sor, and by implication black mailer. If our contemporary would take down its much examined aud oft-quoted "Webster" and look up the meaning of the word censor it would discover that it applied more to itself than the JoURNAL-MINER. It has set itself up as a censor of this paper. When an opinion that does not suit it is expressed in this paper it simply snaps and snarls at the paper or its editor but never once touches on the question in dispute. The JoURNAL-MNER will, however, continue on in the even tenor of its way and will discuss principles, or public servants, whenever the occa- sion arises, just as though there was no Courier in existence to snap and snarl at its heels. It will do so in the future as in the past, too, in respectful and dignifed manner, and will not be extensively personal even to its contemporary.

GROOM CREEK, Nov. 30.-Lying
 within six miles of Prescott is min ing district which for rich ore, wood and water facilities, is unexcelled in Arizona, or for that matter in the United States. This is the Groom Creek district. Here are properties which have passed the prospect stage and may properly be called mines. That this fact is appre- clated is proven by the number of sales recently made and the interest manifested by capital in this sec ton. Among the best properties on the creek is the Empire. Fhis mine is owned by Hughes, Burton and Clark.
 There is already done on this claim over one thousand feet of development work, and the ore taken out has paid for the work done ten times over. For the past year Messrs Gage, Demaray and Stoits have been working part of the claim under lease, and have taken out clear of expenses oyer ten thousand dollars. Three months of the year was consumed in dead work. Another part of the claim has been worked under lease by Messrs. Hart and Morgan. and they have done exceedingly well. The lead between walls is from two to five feet, all ore, and perfectly free milling. On the foot wall is a pay streak varying in width from six to fifteen inches. which works ei0o in free gold Assays fri this pay

in a single successful enterprise, be it ever so small, would be of ins flnitely more benefit to our com munity than ten times the amount sunk in wild cat enterprises result lng in failure. Yayapai county has seen too many monuments of fail ure erected on good meritorious properties, through mismangement, stock jobbing schemes and other causes, for her citizens to counte- nance d,endorse anything that car ries the impress of fraud on its face. The JOURNAL MINER has repeatedly called attention to these failures as they have occurred. Another one has come to light now, that of the Red,Buck property in Walnut Grove district. The original locators and owners made a good success of this property by working the ore with an arastrs. The company purchas- ing it built mill, built wagon roads, built houses and did almost every thing but work their mine to de- velOp it so that they could get some thing to mill. They did, however, start up their mill and run a lot of ore through it when they collapsed. Parties who have recently visited this property obtained samples of the tailings and had them assayed and they gave an average of $l6.50 per ton. 4 sample of ore from the dump, which had previously been sorted over and the good ore taken from it, gave an assay value of $S042 per ton. 4 sample taken from the ledge near the top of the shaft gave a value of $4S.50, while another sample from the mine gave a return of $20.35. With tailings running Sl6,50 per ton is it to be wondered at that the company collapsedi
