f. l.. FISHERS STABLE.
Many Ellsworth Horses at His Pitts
field Farm.

An extended article appeared recently
in Turf, Farm and Home concerning the
winter stable of +. l.. Fisher, at Pitts
field, who recently moved from Ellsworth.
Mr.. Fisher has several Ellsworth horses
at his farm, and the writer commented
on them as follows:
The first one led out was the big black
stallion by Wilkes, out of the dam of
Ellsworth. This horse is five years old
and K. II. Greedy, his owner, has been
keeping him back that he might be fully
developed. He is all right now and next
season will be given record.
Jacob T. is a handsome bay stallion
now five years old with a record of 2.26l4,
got this season. He has won seven races
this season and in one OF them trotted
the last quarter in SO seconds. Frank
Thompson, of Bar Harbor, surely has a
good one in Jacob T. by Jake Pstchen.

sent him gray geding with no mark,
but with very trsppy way about him.

OFFERS NO RELIEF.

The weakness of the Republican position on the money question lies in the fact that it offers no relief from the embarrassment under which the Treas ury is now laboring. The policy con- templated by the Republican party is practically the same as that pursued with such disastrous consequences by the Cleveland administration, and for which it is justly condemned. The gold reserve has been maintained at a cost of $262, ,000, 900 interest bearing bonds issued since February l, 1894. No one will contend that tho sale of bonds to procure gold is more than a temporary expedient to protect the re- serve and, therefore, must be repeated without limit, and the public debt piled up Pelion on Ossa The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, leading Mckinley organ, recently said editorially that the Republicans if given control of the gov verment would not hesitate to issue bonds if necessary; they would main tain the gold reserve at all hazards.
 The United States has to remit to Europe annually, on an average, S300,- 900, 1000. There is not more than $500, 900, 900 gold in the country. Ex- ports may exceed imports, and thus provide for portion of our yearly re- mittance, but large excess of exports cannot be relied upon, We can borrow gold some years longer, but there is an end to the borrowing resource. So long as there are government notes in circulation and the Secretary of the Treasury continues to redeem them in gold exclusively, just so long will the government have to resort to bond is- sues. The alternative presented to the American people is the return to bi- netallism voluntarily, or being forced to the gold standard within few years. So widely recognized an au- thority as Moreton Frewen, the En- glish bimetallist, has expressed the opinion that the United States could safely adopt free silver coinage. At least our present policy is untenable and the restoration of silver as money of ultimate redemption offers the solu- tion for our present difficulties. The single gold standard may serve cred itor nations, but it drains the lie out of 8 debtor nation.

The silver problem is one of inter national North and South American in- terest, as these countries produce the silver supply of the world, aud treaties negotiated between the United States, Canada, Mexico and South American silver-producing countries, is the step towards bimetallism, which will alone bring England to her proper position, and force her and other European and Asiatic countries to purchase our silver as coin at $1.29 an ounce and not as silver bars at 65 cents an ounce as at present. This can be done by the North and South American silver pro- ducing countries agreeing by treaties to prohibit the exportation of silver in bars, and to permit It to be only ex- ported as silver coin of each country, minted at a ratio of 16 to 1. This, says the Mining and Metallurgical Journal, is the protection the silver producing states require.

 Good lawyers assert that MT. Leitch has no authority of law for auditing such accounts. Whether he has or not the Tribune does not pretend to say,
 but would like to have the opinion of Attorney General Wilson on the sub ject. While this paper has no particu- lar love for Judge Rouse, it must do him the justice to say that he absolutely refuses to accept the $50 month which the other Judges draw, believing that there is no law for the payment and no appropriation for the same, If Judges Baker, Bethune and Hawkins have been illegally drawing money from the Territorial treasury the people ought to know it, and the sooner the question is settled the better.

MINING BLUNDERS.

According to Professor Ashburner, there were in 1858 over 280 quartz mills in California, with 2610 stamps, and the total cost of the milling prop erty exceeded $3,O0O,OO In 1861, while he was attached to the Geological Survey, he made careful examination of these mills and could find only be- tween 50 and 60 in successful opera ton. Commenting upon this, the late J. Ross Brown, in his "Mineral Re sources of the Pacific States and Terri tories" published in 1868, gives some of the reasons for these failures, which will apply in minor degree at the present time. He said. 1.-The great est common blunder has been that of erecting a mill before the vein was well opened and its capacity to yield large supply of good rock established. The next blunder was that the differ ence between a pocket vein and a charge vein was not understood, and the existence of rich specimens was considered proof of high value of a mine. The next error was that nothing was known of pay chim- neys, and if good quartz was found in one place, it was presumed that the whole mine was of the same quality Much rock has been crushed without examination and without prop CT selection. Sinking was done often when nothing was found at the surface. It has not been customary to make assays regularly of the tailings, so as to know what was passing of. The mine owners in a large proportion of cases have not re- sided at the mines and have not made a study of the business.
 It is no wonder then mining was con sidered little better than gambling and that conservative business men refused to go into it, says the Mining and Scientiyc Press. Fortunately mining is now better understood and is in Q majority of cases conducted intelligent ly as legitimate business, but still the same blunders are being repeated oc- casionally to-day and in Arizona.

MILITARY PROTECTION TO
 SETTLERS.

We are informed that Lieut. Fenton and a detachment of 15 cavalrymen from Fort Apache, arrived at John Dazin's camp on Canyon creek last Thursday, and established camp. How long they are to remain there is not known, but the military authorities seem determined to prevent any further assaults by the Indians upon settlers living near the northwestern part of the reservation, and are maintaining Q somewhat strict surveillance over the more incorrigible Indians, and especially over those living on Cibicu creek. These latter Indians maintain their sul- len demeanor, and hint strongly at further acts of retaliation for the killing of Chief Nan tan n-go- -tayz last Decem- Der. They do not deny the killing of Bud Campbell, but say that his death does not atone for the loss of their chief.
 The activity of the military has a salutary effect, and the Indians are not now roaming beyond the limits of the reservation in that vicinity, but their good behavior seems to depend upon the presence of the troops, and if they are removed trouble IS liable to ensue. It is therefore hoped by citizens exposed to the danger of incursions from the Cibicu Indians that the mili- tary commander of the division will see the necessity of continuing to exer- else surveillance over these Indians by establishing permanent sub-post on Canyon creek, or some other point in that vicinity, for the protection of settlers and the better control of the Indians. Canyon creek is 60 miles from Fort Apache, and it is impossible from that distance to control Indians who are naturally refractory.
 We trust that this suggestion will be brought to the attention of General Wheaton and the Department, and given consideration.

The mining town of Mogollon, N. M., was partially destroyed by flood on the afternoon of August 19. John Knight, a miner, and an unknown Mexican were drowned. Twenty six residence houses were washed away and about fifty families rendered al- most homeless. The Colonial and Deep Down mining companies were heavy losers through the washing away of their buildings and supplies. M. W. Neffe's warehouse and magazine, with their contents, were swept away. The damage to property is estimated at S20. .0OO.

SANTA TERESA AND THE NO
 GALES RESURRECTION.

Henry Bopp recently returned from Minas Prietas, Mexico, who arrived in Nogales while the excitement of the battle between the insurgents and citi- zens was at fever heat, brought with him to Globe partial evidence of the severity of the encounter; revealed through the agency of photographic art in the presentation of seven insur- gents, prostrate, awaiting interment. This presentation conveys but partial impression of the casualties. Citizens also suffered to the number of five killed and several wounded, although the exact number injured on either side is not given. Santa Teresa, the ex- patriated Mexican saint, who is now at Fl Paso, is charged with having caused the encounter by opening Pandora's box from which issued the evils now affiicting our sister Republic in the State of Sonora.
 It is also claimed that Aguirre, who worked up the revolutionary sentiment through his newspaper, is her trusted lieutenant. She, however, disclaims any participation in that direful affair, but notwithstanding her simple denial, she does not convince those familiar with the friendship existing between Aguirre and herself, while recent resi- dents of Graham county, Arizona. Upon all the dead insurrectionists were found copies of Aguirres newspaper, 'El Independence, and on one of them photograph of Santa Teresa de Cabora and reminder to " Remember the eleventh of August is the day when you are to go to Nogales, capture the town and right yonr wrongs. Remem- Der that Santa Teresa is always with you and through her miraculous in fuence no harm can befall you" But notwithstanding her heavenly attri- butes, the promise conveyed by Aguir- res journal was not fulfilled, as the subsequent obsequies attest.

If gold should be treated by the gov ernments of the world as silver has been treated the effect upon the bullion value of gold would be precisely the same as has been witnessed in the case of silver. In other words, using silver alone as money, the bullion value of silver would steadily increase and the bullion value of gold, as measured in silver, would decrease. The silver dollar would then, by the very men wbo now argue against it, be called the "honest" dollar and the gold dollar would be called the dishonest" dollar. Soon after the great discoveries of gold in
