American Prosperity Gives the Lie to
Cheap Money Arguments.
In'1SS0, after the resumption of specie
payments and that convincing demon
stration that the United States believed
in 100 cents as the standard dollar, the
number of savings banks depositors
became 2,335.5s2, and the amount of the
deposits was $S19, 9,10G,973. In 1890 the
number of depositors had nearly
doubled. In 921 savings banks 1885,
S93 persons had laid up $1,524, 4,S44,5o6.
Last year the number of savings banks
increased to 1,O17. The number of de-
positors attained total of 4,S75.519.
The total of the deposits, representing
the thrift of American labor, it's self-de-
nial and it's hopes, is 81, sic, ,507,o23.
This self-denial represented 100 cents
to the dollar. The free silver coinage
advocates declare that the United States
by law should instruct the savings
banks to repudiate one-half of this sum
or $900,000,000, which would be the eff
feet of making a 50-cent silver dollar
the substitute of gold standard of 100
cents to the dollar.
Yet there are infatuated people who
think that free silver coinage would be
a blessing to the United States and es-
pccially to it's intelligent, self-denying
and thrifty industry.
The savings bank story is conclusive
answer.-Chicago Times-Herald.

For Honest Money.

The New York chamber of commerce
will shortly begin another crusade
against free silver. The feeling in bust
ness circles is that the selection of a
standard bearer for either party who
is not in accord with sound money ideas
would be a serious mistake, and more or
less jeopardize' the prosperity of the
country 1t is in view of this state of
affairs that the general committee of the
chamber of commerce will be called to-
gether to discuss the whole subject and
outline campaign of education which
will stir up the people to the great ne
cessity of sending sound money dele
gates to the two political conventions.
The silver force is fading so rap
idly since it's rule-or-ruin scheme was
uncovered that it may not serve the
purpose of political tricksters even un-
til after the national convention.

an needed q friend with the strength
to hold up a good, powerful unrelenting
mirror for her to gaze into. Pete could
have held up the mirror with right good
will, but he did not know how. In
those days hefollowed the major around
with doglike devotion, and only glow
cred when Ellie came out to the or
chard one morning with her paints
and succeeded in bringing upon herself
a scolding from her ovGr-indulgent hns-
band. She held her head very high and
stiff, and marched over the hill some
distance away, where she seated herself
and pretended to sketch, but was in
reality nursing her injured feelings
to keep them alive. The major watched
her disappear with panied express
sion on his good-natured face, and then
went dejectedly into the house. Pete
was deeply incensed against Ellie, and
made another solemn vow to desert the
ranch. 1t was the nincty-and-ninth
time that he had done so, and this time
he sealed the vow with an oath.
The long grass on the Napa hills
was burned and crisp, and Ellie was
daubing yellow ochre and burnt umber
over her canvas with vicious strokes
She was not giving any attention to her
work, however, for an athletic form
stood between her and the landscape,
end she was indulging in a very foolish
day dream. To do the little woman
justice, she was not in love with Bromr-

About forty years ago a wagon
train loaded with valuable goods
and about $4,000 in gold and sill
yer coin en- route from the City of
Mexico to the United States was
attacked near Rincon, Mexico, by a
band of brigands and all the mem
bers of the wagon train were killed
and the booty seized. The robbers
were overtaken few days later by
detachment of soldiers and all were
killed. The money and stores had
been secreted by the outlaws and
could not be found. A few days ago
Rafael Villegas was prospecting for
mineral ten miles south of Rincon
when he came upon the entrance to
the cave and found several sacks
filled with the money taken by the
exterminated band of robbers

Another Fire In Mason valley.

Word reached this Office last We'd
nesday that on Monday night of
this week the residence of ]. G..
Smart, in Mason Valley, was de-
stroyed by fire, together with the
barns, some hay, farming imple-
ments, etc. How the fire originated
is mystery. Mr.. and Mrs. Smart
had been in town during the day,
and in the evening returned home.
Mr.. Smart retired and Mrs. Smart
stayed up to bake some bread. After
putting the bread in the oven she
lay down to rest in another room.
Shortly after she went into the
kitchen and found it full of smoke.
She called her husband, but by the
time he reached the kitchen the
whole room was in a blaze. The
flames worked SO rapidly that Mr..
and Mrs. Smart saved only small
portion of their wearing apparel
This is the second disastrous fire
that has visited Smart in short
time. Luckily this time he had
some insurance ON his property
but not sufficient to fully cover the
loss, it is understood, which is some
thing like $4,000. When Jim's luck
changes it will have to be phenonni
nally good to make up for all thu
bad luck he has had.

ACowardlY Assault.

John Piper the veteran proprietor
of the Opera House was assaulted
in cowardly fashion by hoodlum
Wednesday afternoon. He was ex-
polling three or four young toughs
from the Opera House, when one Of
them struck him on the back of
the head from behind and knocked
him down. Before he could regain
his feet or call for aid his assailant
and the others were gone. The
toughs were trying to steal into the
matinee. They should all be ar
rested and prosecuted. and the one
who assaulted Mr.. Piper be given
six months.-Chr0nicle.

In Greece and Egypt.

Advertising is a very ancient
practice. The British Museum pos
sesses collection of old Greek ad-
vertisements printed on leaden
plates. The Egyptians were great
advertisers. Papyrus leaves over
three thousand years old have been
found at Thebes describing slaves
and criminals who had run away,
and offering a reward for their capt
ure; and at Pompeii ancient adver-
tisements have been deciphered on
the walls.-Life SGver's Record.

Not Exactly So.

A newspaper item has been going
the rounds for week or more about
a rich strike being made in one of
the Ely claims in Como. No such
strike has been made. Mr.. Ely has
some fine claims in that camp, how
ever, and the item probably refers
to some assays that were obtained
several months ago from rock from
the groupings on one of the claims.
These assays went very high in
gold. Mr.. Ely in now running u
tunnel on this claim to tap the
ledge, but has struck nothing yet
but hard work. The TIMES would
be pleased to report rich strike in
Como, but does not propose to re-
port it until one is made, for we be
lieve such reports do no good, and
may do harm. Como must come
to the front on genuine merit, and
we believe she will do it in a very
short time now. There are ever SO
many rich prospects there, and all
that is needed is an enterprising
company with some money to go
ahead and do some systematic de-
/ velonment work

COmo--Prospective.

Col. Boyle is laboring hard to
place Como on the list of paying
gold camps in Nevada. His tunnel
is now in nearly 140 feet, and work
is still going on, but slowly. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Boyle is nego-
tiating with parties for the forma-
ton of a company in the East to
take hold of his tunnel and run it
through. J. R. Hoag, of Sutro, is
one of the parties who will be in
terested in the deal, if it is made,
and will probably superintend the
work. Should such deal be made
from 40 to so men would be put to
work, and the latest machinery
used, so that the tunnel could be
completed in at least year. Every
indication is that this tunnel will
open up some of the best claims in
that district SO thoroughly that it
will demonstrate whether or not
mining for gold in Como can be
carried ON proftably.

The Peck Bros. Will Pat UP a Con
centratkng Plant Here i'm the rsprfns


The Peck Bros. Will Pat UP a Con-
centratAng Plant Here i'm the spring.
1t is currently reported that the
Peck Bros, who have met with such
success in working the slums and
tailings at the Eureka mill and EN-
pire, will put plant in the Rock
Point mill in the Spring to work
what slum and tailings are now de-
posted in the reservoir near the
mill site. 1t is estimated that there
are enough slums and material in
this lot to keep plant running for
three or four months, and if the
Douglass shines, which are located
just below Sutro, should be pur-
chased and worked in this plant,
there will be work carried on for a
couple of years, probably, as there
are thousands of tons of this mate
rial in this deposit.
A plant in the Rock Point mill
will be very convenient for the work
ing of these slums and shines, and
there are also many tons of the
same material near the mouth OF
Sixmile Canyon that could be con-
veyed to the mill for working at
very little expense. A railroad runs
from the Rock Point mill to the
Douglass deposit of slums, and this
would probably be put into use tc
convey the material to the mill, i
these slums are worked.
The construction of plant of this
kind at the Rock Point and the
operation of the same means work
at good wages for thirty or forty
men for several months, if not fol-
a couple of years and this would
mean considerable business for the
town.
1t is understood that the slums
at the Eureka mill will be worked
up in about three months, and as
there is no more material that
could we'll be worked there, it is
very probable that the Pecks intend
to move that plant down to the
Rock Point when the run at the
Eureka is completed.

The Fire Company is having the
pipes that lead from the main log
into the cisterns enlarged so that
the cisterns can be filled more rapid
ly when the engine is taking water
out of them. Three inch pipes are
being put in the place of the two
inch ones. This is a good move,
as in case of fire now the engine
would pump the water out of the
cisterns faster than it would flow
in. The company also intends to
purchase about 100 feet more Of

Kruger's Dog Story Told Straight.

The true account of President Kruger's
recent canine analogy is too good to be
lost When the reformers called upon
him and began to thank him for their
release the old man looked at them
for a moment and then said, IRON
ically: "Some dogs which have been
beaten lick the feet of their master. Others
slink away and snarl and try to bite again.
I hope you are not going to snarl any
more" There was a painful pause, broken
at length by loud guffaw, as the Presi-
dent turned to the interpreter and said:
you needn't translate that; it's only my
little joke"
His Honor resumed in the terms already
summarized here: You have asked me
to be merciful to the remaining prisoners,
aud l will answer you in parable: There
was once naughty little dog, and it was
beaten. 1t was right to beat that dog, be-
cause it was naughty. But what should
be done 10 the owner of that dog, who
stood by and said 'Saa? :"
Then. dropping the parable, the Presi-
dent exclaimed: Rhodes is the owner of
that dog! What shall be done to him"

in the popular phrase, they would like to

parts of the city, Tor example at St.
Philippe du Roule and in the st. Mar
guerite quarter. Rows OF trees will be
planted at the Place de Rennes, and the
banks of the Canal st. Martin will be COW
cred with turf. The rows of trees in the
Champs Elysees will be doubled, and still
more trees WILL be planted in the Avenue
de Bois de Boulogne. The roads leading
into the Bois from the Auteuil side will be
arranged in terraces covered with flowers,
and overlooking the valley of the Seine.
The park and the gardens on the Butte
Montmartre Will be finished by that time.
At night the city will be brilliantly lllu-
minated by an extensive system of electric
lights as far as the outer boulevards and
including the Bois de Boulogne and De
Vincennes.-New York Sun.
