CURRENCY QUESTION
The Most Perplexing Thing to Be
Considered

WASHINGTON, Nov Ex-senator
Burrows of Michigan expressed the
opinion that there will be q protracted
discussion of the currency question in
the approaching session of congress, and
that in all probability congress will be
in session until August.
"In addition to the routine before con.
gress, appropriations, ETC." he said, 1.-The
Hawaiian question will be disposed Of
and consideration will be given to the
currency question, immigration, and a
few other things AS to the Cuban ques-
ton, the situation is very peculiar
There appears to be a great deal of con-
fusion with relation to the addition of a
new policy by Spain, and I do noa think
congress ought to act until an opportun-
ity has been had to determine what will
result from Blanco's undertaking.
II think" he added, that the most
perplexing thing that confronts us is
how to handle the currency question
1t is obvious that this question is going
to come up for discussion and it is equal

in my mind to warrant favor. under
stand that bill has been passed in the
Georgia Legislature making the playing
of football crime, simply on the ground
that serious and sometimes fatal acci-

THE FISHING SEASON.
SOME DISPUTE AS TO WHEN THE
SEASON OPENS.
An Opinion Given by Attorney Gen
eral Bishop in Response to Re
quest From Warden Sharp.

There has been some dispute as to
the day when the season for fishing
with hook and, line begins. State Fish
and Game Warden John Sharp has
consulted the attorney general in rela-
ton to The matter, and the latter in
forms the warden that the season opens
when u o'clock, midnight, ushers out
the 18th day of this month.
In his opinion Mr.. Bishop cites the
law as follows: 1T shall be unlawful
for any person to take any fish except
carp, clubs, suckers and mullet from
means CT device whatever except by
means of hook and line, commonly
known as angling. and that only be-
tween the 18th day of June of each
year ano the 18th of December follow
ing
1t is q well-known rule of construc-
ton. says the attorney general. that
time between two days is that which is
intermediate and does not include
either of the two days mentioned, that
is, if an act is to be done between GER
tain days. il must be done after the
first and before the last, and in COM
putting the time in such case both days
named are to be excluded.
Applying this rule to the section
quoted IT, is clear that persons may fish
with hook and line only after u o'clock,
midnight, of June Is, and u o'clock.
of December IA. In other
words. under this law the 18th of June
and the 18th day of December are to
be excluded. and to fish either of these
days would be unlawful. Sportsmen.
therefore, who have made arrange
ments to begin fishing on the morning
Of June 10 will have TO postpone their
trip one day longer or take chances
with the law.

RANDsBURG DOOMED TO DEATH
Better Chances For Prospectors il,
Utah Than There.

Carson City. New, May 90. 1897
Having made a pretty careful exami-
nation of the country in the vicinity
of Death valley, it may help some
body else if l give my impressions.
The country has been doomed to death,
and if you could see the disappointed
miners going out of that country. using
all the words in the dictionary, and
some that are not. you would agree
with me that there is no reason WHY
any more prospectors should visit that
region at present. The Panamint
country, particularly, has been greatly
oVerdone. There are some good mines
there, but in my judgment the country
has been thoroughly prospected. and
until the veins which are already lc
Gated are better opened. there is no
likelihood of any improvement.
The Randsburg country seems to
have been doomed worse than the
other. and the exodus from that region,
and the actual suffering resulting from
exposure to the heat of the desert has
been something fearful. In my judg-
ment there is better ground to prospect
in Utah and eastern Nevada, than in
that region.
The character of the formation in
that whole country is almost entirely
granite or schists. The veins are most
ly cash veins of lard quartz, carrying
gold and very spotted. I never saw
better deposits of low grade lead and
silver ore. except in eastern Nevada:
but from lack of TRANSFORMATION. lack
of water. and excessive cost of fuel.
these mines are worthless at present
The whole country for a distance of 200
miles, north, east and south of Rands-
burg is swarming with disappointed
and yet I believe that
some of these men scattering over the
ranges on their way out of the region,
Will find good property and j con-
idently predict a number of gold
,razes in new regions in the near
future. PEREGEINE.
