SHIPPING GOLD.
How the Coin To Moved Aeout
the World.
The MOas OF Packing IL Little Known
Outside OF Banking Houses-
There Are Tricks In
the Business.

The men who receive the gold say
that gold comes to this country as q
means of final settlement. Our Eu-
ropean correspondents pay with secur-
tiles and bills of exchange" said a
banker, "as long as they can do so, and
when there ceases to be any profit in
that method they send us the gold"
All agree that the influx of gold is an
unmistakable sign of activity in busi
ness. ''We have the same conditions
right in our own country" said Maurice
L. Muhleman, deputy assistant United
States treasurer. when the cotton is
being harvested in the south and the
grain in the west, New York sends to
the banks in those regions advances in
the shape of bankers drafts. This COM
mercial paper is used again by them
and there is no need for sending actual
money. But when the crops are un-
usually large and it requires extraor-
binary sums of money to pay for har-
vesting, then the local banks are COM
PEELED to ask for money instead of pa
per. They need it for their customers,
who can payhelp only with money. They
are prevented from making further in
roads on their own supply because of
the law which compels them to have a
certain amount of cash always on de-
posit as reserve. That is the case at
present, and large sums of actual
money are being sent to New Orleans
and the west to help the little banks
along.
The same causes are at the bottom
of the gold shipments from abroad. In
times when there is no demand for
money, when business l. slack, bankers
have so much gold that they prefer to
receive paper; but with large crops to
move, increasing pay rolls due to in
crease in manufacturing, with in
creased freight transactions and the
additional business which follows in
the wake of manufacturing revival,
the supply of money becomes low, and
the consequence is that we ask our Eu-
ropean correspondents TO send us gold
instead of paper"
But gold is not shipped like ordinary
merchandise, and The mode of packing
is little known outside the banking es-
tablishment to which it is consigned
The coin gold from Great Britain
comes in lots of 500 ounces. These lots
are usually packed in five bags of 100
ounces each, and the bags are placed
in a box, which is tightly nailed and
strapped. 1t frequently happens that
lot is slightly over weight, and in
such cases coin is clipped to make
the weight exact.

MATERIALS FOR SPRING.
F@shiOMable COIOrs and Correct
styles of Trimming.

Fashionable COlOrs and Correct
styles of Trimming.
In one or two of the large establish
ments in New York there is always a
prominent counter devoted to what are
to be the new fabrics and color--a place
d'honneur, as it were. Sometimes very
curious observer will discern that the
goods thus displayed are withdrawn
within q very short time, as though
there had been a tentative feeling of the
public pulse and the temperature was
not what it might be, This season, so
far, the piece d'honneur has been given
to smooth, light cloths, such as were
the fashion in Paris last summer, and
most exquisite are the shades in cash
mere, drap d'ete, etc, while tine-cord
light weight blue serge is shown, to be
made up most elaborately and with ex-
pensive ribbons. BY the way, let no
woman delude herself into the belief
il will cost little to dress well this year.
Materials may seem extraordinarily
cheap, but there is every indication that
much trimming is TO be used on waists
and skirts alike, and yards and yards
will be necessary to make the velvet
bands or the tiny ruffies that look so
smart and fresh.
Gray in all the different shades is to
be greatly the rage, and the favorite
trimming, particularly on the cash
meres, will be the graduated trimming
rows of black velvet ribbon sewedon only
at one edge which gives more rufile
| look, The putting on Of these bands is a
| difficult task, and IL must be remem-
bered that it is fashion much more
becoming to slender than it is to stout
women.
On serges silk braid will be put on in
the same way as the velvet ribbon, and
around the waist and sleeves as well
as the skirt. Three rows of either
velvet or braid are sometimes put
around the front and side breadths.
and then turned and so arranged as to
90 up the back OF the skirt to the waist
1t is claimed that this is more beeon-
ing, and gives more graceful lines, bo
unless very cleverly done, it looks ea,
ceedingly ungraceful. A much more
becoming style, though not so new an
idea, is to trim the seams from waist
to hem with brad or velvet sewed OF

cred possible 10 medlfY fash-ons ane

in color and desig, and although q,
: fiat has gone forth for trimmed skirts
the trimming may, as has been said, b'
put on in many different ways.-Har

Reported DeLamar Sale.

The Salt Lake Tribune of the 18th.
inst. reports pending sale of the
DeLamar, Nevada. properties to a
Scotch Syndicate. The article says
its information is almost positive
though none of the officers of the
company confirm the statement.
The prospective sale is based upon
a recent examination made by F. w,
Bradley, mining expert of consid-
erable note. Capt. DeLamar, it is
said, will be at Salt Lake within the
next sixty days.
Mr.. Bradley was at DeLamar in
March and April examining the
properties, but in whose interest, OF
for what purpose was not mentioned
hereabouts.

The Election ofsehooI Trustees.

The school trustee election next
Monday ought to be regarded as a
business, and not political matter.
The legislature has taken the mat
ter out of the general lines of poll
ties for that reason. Three good
men, who have interests in good
schools at heart should be elected,
and in a small community like this
they can almost be agreed upon be-
fore a vote is cast.
Careful business management in
the past has given us now a very
nice surplus in our Pioche school
fund, and when we reflect on the
terms and poor service of few
years ago we ought to elect men who
will foster the fund and cause it to
grow larger, rather than to diminish
in volume, since. onr qs'tlaqk Just
now is quite encouraging in school
way Quite a number of new fami-
lies have moved in here during the
past few months, and the school
census which will be taken this
month ought to show a material in
crease in the number of children
who will draw money from the pub
lie funds for our district.
The trustees to be now elected
will take Office on the first Monday
in July next. This will allow ample
time to secure good teachers for the
next school term, which should be-
gin under the law on the first Mon
day in September.

THE NEWSPAPER LAW.
All Subscribers Should Read the Fol-
lowing Law and Avoid Trouble.

lowing Law and Avoid Trouble.
/. All subscribers who do not
give express notice to the contrary
are considered wishing to continue
their subscriptions.
2. If subscribers order the dis
continuance of their periodical the
publisher may continue to send it
until all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers refuse or neglect
to take their periodicals from the Of
fee to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have set
tied their bills and ordered them dis
continued.
A. Subscriber moving to other
places without informing the pub
fisher, and the papez4s.le sent to the
former address, they are held re-
sponsible.
5. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
Office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima facie evidence
of intended fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time they do not wish to
continue taking it,and the subscriber
will be responsible until an express
notice with all arrearages are sent to
the publisher.
7. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
anyone for fraud who take a paper
and refuses to pay for it.
Under the law the man who allows
his subscription to run along some
time unpaid, and then orders tn
postmaster to mark it refused" and
have postal card sent notifying the
publisher, leaves himself liable to ar
rest and fine, the same as for theft.

The mails are weighed this month
on all the lines of railroad in the
country, and the pay for the four
years beginning with the first Of
July next, is based on the tonnage
for May month. The local carriers
hereabouts say their mails have been
unusually heavy of late, and that
government documents, etc., from
the various representatives in Con-
gress go far to make up the loads.
1t looks as though there was some
force in the charge that the mails
are padded at this season for the
benefit of the railroads.

Naturalization Papers.

Our courts are prohibited from
issuing naturalization papers within
sixty days before the day of any gen.
