AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

James Hickey, who used to be a member OF
the stock board here and who has mined in
different parts of California and the coast. is
at the Russ. For some time past he has been
interested in mines at Silver Peak, Esmerald
County, New.
Esmeralda is large county with varied in
erests, but the silver mines, he says, can
scarcely be worked now when silver is as low
as it is. One other thing that is somewhat
detrimental besides the existing price is the
distance from a railroad.
The Silver Peak mines are forty-fve miles
north of Candelaria, which is in the same
county, but unlike the latter they carry good
deal of gold. Not far away are the Silver Star
properties. the most noted of which is the
Hardscrabble
These properties carry gold entirely, there be.

therefore, was almost literally sealed with
blood. 1t comes to the Western world as
message from the dead and draws an
added influence from the martyrdom of
those who wrote it. The appeal it contains
will be sure to find response somehow
and some time from the great heart Of
humanity. Evil triumphs for time. but
sooner or later justice is done and all the
sooner when the evil becomes so great as
to render itself intolerable and abhorrent
to the common instincts of men.

the appearance of hundreds of other groups o
oak trees that can be seen in the vicinity. 1t
is in the bottom of a ravine that runs from
north to south, and on being approached
closely presents the appearance OF a cavern of
inky blackness. There is a large pool of water
at the entrance, and several old oaks spring
from amony bowlders on either side, the
branches meeting overhead and also extending
out on both sides until they completely fill the
rayine.
1t is the inside of the cave that is the most
curious, however. Stepping back few feet
and looking up not the faintest ray of light can
be seen, so dense is the growth of leaves and
branches Ten feet back from the mouth OF

A CAVE OF TREES.

One of the most curious and beautiful sights
in Contra Costa County can be found on the
hills of San Pablo Point, only few hundred
feet from the bay shore and about fifty feet
above the tide level. 1t is a natural cave of
oak trees, and its existence is largely due to
the presence OF spring that flows from the hill
side.
At first glance the cave would not impress

noting that the wool shipments from

that month of the previous year. That

added that Allison has won such friends

Interest Is thu I.cturn ON Cnp.ta,.

Behind the agitation for 80 cent silver
dollars or no cent paper dollars there is
strong Populist sentiment which IA
vors the loanins Of money by tho govern
ment TO the farmers ut per cent inter
est. The free coinage advocates find
their strongest support among those who
believe that interest is usuIy and should
be abolished or reduced to the mere cost
OF issuing paper currency.
What these Populists do not see is tho
fact that interest is not really paid Tor the
use of money, but for the nse Of capital.
The money loaned merely serves To con-
yey the capital from its owner to the
borrower. No anti,interrst farmer would
rent his farm for . per cent Il wear Yet
under the system of government loans
which he proposes any one who wished
to buy farm could borrow the money
at that rate of interest; so 40 ono would
ever pay more rent than . per cent in
tcrest on the value OF the property. The
PopuliSt who thinks that the capital rem
resented by his farm is worth more than
2 per cent Il year should be willing to
allow the owners of other forms of CAPT
tai such interest as it is worth to any
one who chooses TO borrow it,
