The fact that the union printers Of

regrettable feature OF the continued i'm

iention Of the Chicago printers 10 set
their paper wholly by hand as means
OF giving employment to those who have
been thrown out Of work by the invent
ion Of type setting machines.
The ject is most commendable. 1t
generally happens that when there is
any great new invention those who suffer
from its effects are men who are too old
to adapt themselves to the new condi.
tions created by 1t. Men Of sixty years
or over. who are least able to stand q
change, are the snrest victims Of it.
Younger men may earn increased wages,
but the old men suffer
Something ought TO be done for their
relief They are most worthy objects Of
benevolence. OF courre all attempts to
oppose mechanical invention for their
benefit are as useless as it would be tor

can muscle do against steam and the
brain energy cf countless generations rep
resented in every great invention in ma.
chinery? Tbev cannot be helped thus,
hut they must he helped in some way.
But no one need fear that such inven.
tioDs will he worse for the world and its
workers. They will give better work and
easier work, and they will give it finally
to ten men for every one they threw out

Promising Mining Strikes

The Inyo Gold Mining Company's
men under Superintendent o Z. Duen-
veg, made rich strike in the Southern
Belle mine. four miles from Laws, this
week. Many specimens carrying Tree
gold have been taken from large quartz
ledge heretofore supposed to carry no
gold at all. II the ledge goes down and
carries gold with it as does the ore al
ready in sight, the owners have a good
sized bonanza on hand The ore is such
poor looking stuff that no one ever took
the trouble to test 1t before.
Encouraging reports come from the
mines being worked by the Willis
brothers, Cowser and Fish, in Redding
Canyon. A new body of good ore was
uncovered last week.-Inyo Register.
