Some Facts as to Silver Mining.


In the Popular Science Monthly are
some facts about the silver mines IN Ne
yada that are very instructive.
The great Comstock Lode, which was
discovered in 1859, was immediately
grabbed up by spectators and "opera-
tors " of the Mackay- Fair-Sharon stripe,
who gave the original discoveries a mere
trife, only SO of which was paid down
" Mclaughlin soon sold out for $4,000;
Osborne for $1,000; Penrod for $4,000.
Careless, ignorant, the first Comstockers
were blown aside like leaves In whirl
wind. They spent their money, and
drifted off here and there, pursued by
ill-fortune. Mclaughlin was soon cook
ing for gang of men at $40 month.
'Old Virginia. while ON spree In
1861, was thrown from a horse and
killed. Comstock, who had parted with
his interests exactly two months after
the ledge was struck, branched out into
financial and matrimonial ventures,
spent every dollar, wandered over into
Idaho and Montana, vainly looking for
another fortune, and in 1870 committed
suicide"
The men who got hold of the property
from these discoveries became enor-
moGsly wealthy. Within 81 years after
1859 the Government reports showed
that the total bullion yield had reached
s3O6,000.O00i

all employee of the Sharon crowd, man.
aged to get private information as to
the real value of the Crown Point mine,
which had been regarded as so poor
property that its shares went begging at
50 apiece, and the whole mine was only
valued at $4,000. Jones got control
of it, and inside of Is months its value
rose to S22,000,000, much to Sharon's
establishment.
Mackay aad Fair got hold of the
Big Bonanza " mines. In six years
they turned out sos, 000,00 worth of
metal, and paid s73,000,O00 in divi-
dends. The two mines, valued in 1871
at $4,000, were valued at $50, 600, 900
in 1875. For a long time they paid
dividends at the rate of 81 100000 q
month
This was the school in which the
" statesmen were educated who have
Joined hands with the Harris Vest
Blackburn combination of ex-rebels to
foist Free Silver on the country. A
more daring and magnificent set of gam
blers never existed than the Bonanza
Kings. They played for stakes of hun
dreds of millions with consummate skill
and audacity. They allowed nothing to
stand in their way. The Legislature Of
Nevada was their supple tool. Judges
had to do their bidding or be driven
from the bench. Men who stood In
their way were killed. Property that
they wanted was taken by their armed
minions. Yet these men pirate of the
good of the common people" when
scarcely an hour of their lives has been
without Its ofense against poorer or
weaker men than themselves. They are
now playing for control of the United
States as they once played for control
of the " Comstoek ledge"

United States. The declaration asserts
that the wages paid to the workisginen
Of this country are TOO high TO enable our
manufacturers to compete with those OF
China and Japan, and that the free COIN
age OF silver is the emily possible remedy
for the evil.
Mr.. Barker and his sixteen fellow ST.
veri,es are too prudent to say straight
outright that their object is to bring
wages in this country down to the level
Of those paid in China and japan. They
profess to desire only to remove the differ
encs in the rate OF exchange bctw cen
those countries and ours. This subter-
fuge il very thin, and its iinnsss is ex-
posed by Mr.. Barker's avowal, il letter
{ to American manufacturers, accompany
ing his declaration, that he also desires 10
raise the prices Of agricultural products.
We quote his words:
"The agricultural classes will no. longer
give their support to protection unless
justice 10 done them. They are inpovsr-
ished by low prices for their produce,
prices fixed in competition with the de-
graded agricultural labor Of silver using
countries for the European markets.
Three-fourths Of our exports consist Of
the products OF our farms With agrcul
tural staples We pay Our debts abroad,
and the prices our farmers receive for
their products are 81 low, and the burden
Of our debts, which they SO largely bear,
20 great, that they are reduced to poverty
and despair. The fall in farm produce
must be checked, or our farmers will be
ruined. They ask for legislation that will
raise the prices they receive abroad for
their produce; namely, the restoration oil
silver to its place az money"
If the prices Of agricultural produce are
raised abroad. they will rise here, and
with them will rise the prices Of all other
commodities. The result OF free silver
would, therefore, be, that, while wages
in this country might remain nominally
the same that they are now, their power
to purchase bread, beef, sugar, coffee
tea, clothing, and other articles Of daily
consumption, especially those imported
from abroad, would be reduced BY one
half. If our workinymen like the pros
pect, let them support the silverite move
ment; if they do not, let them chow it BY
their votes.-New York Sun.

Unless some action is taken to prevent
the catching Of small sturgeon that valu-
able industry is liable to be destroyed in
Grays harbor. Much Of the catch this
season has been small fish, weighing Is
to Is pounds. As the sturgeon requires
three or more years to mature and reach
. weight Of from 200 to 400 pounds it can
b plainly seen that emily few years will
be required to exterminate this valuable
species. For their own sakes it would
seem that the fishermen would take up
this question.
