| There was intense interest last week
| in the development of both the Empire
and the Mother Lode mines at Gold
creek. A sensation was caused by SIC
gold assay from rock in the bottom of
the Empire that is entirely away from
the ledge. A station has been cut at he
100foot level and the other day drifts
were started east and west The Moth
er Lode tunnel is in about APO feet and
the rock in the face OF the tunnel is get
ting very hard.
Smith and Nichols are down fifteen
and have an assay from the property of
s12 in gold and half ounce in silver.
Sluicing commenced last week in Tip
pet gulch, under Mr.. Stofel's manage
ment.
Messrs. Robertson and Mayham have
started upon the development Of their
recent purchase at Mountain City, White
Pine county, and will put down 1O0-
foot shaft at once. The assays, ST. and
s216, indicate that they have secured a
good property.
The report Of the sale of Owyhee coun-
ty mines to the Standard Oil people for
81, 100000 has recently been made. The
deal includes the Owyhee railroad. The
bridge for that road across Snake river
is now completed and cars will soon be
running over it.
A big mining deal has been practically
consummated by which John w. Mackay
Will become the owner of the famous
Silver Peak gold mines in Esmeralda
county. For some time the property has
been involved in litigation but now al
contests have been compromised and A.

When Kelly Ran Round the Fielders

More good stories are told about poor
Mike Kelly" said Tim Keefe the other
day, than about any other ball player.
1 shall never forget one day in Austin,
Tex, when we had combination team
on the way to Frisco. Kelly was in his
prime and was full of tricks and fun
making. In this particular game we
were all hitting pretty hard, Kel in par
ticular. About the eighth inning Mike
came to the plate and sent corking hit
to deep left. The ball went into clump
of bushes and the left fielder began to
hunt for it. Kelly ran to first, and in
stead of turning about for second he kept
straight on into right field.
Hey, Kel! where are you going? we
all yelled. But Mike kept on until he
reached the right fielder. The latter
didn't know what was up until Mike
ran around him and then trottec TO-
ward second base. When he touched
the bag he ran out again toward left
field. The center fielder, who had run
over there to take the throw from the
left fielder when the latter found the
ball, was simply dumfounded. Kelly
ran around him and then galloped to
third base.
BY this time the lett heIder had FOUND
the ball and he quickly threw it in to the
short stop. The latter shot the ball to
the catcher and Kel was headed off.
Mike ran up and down several times with
the whole Austin team chasing him, un-
til he saw he was cornered. Then he
broke into a sprint and dashed across the
diamond in the direction of the right
field. The third baseman, who had the
ball, went after him full tilt.
'Yer'll never ketch me-" yelled Mike,
if yer chase me ter Frisco
yer kin bet l WILL roared the third
baseman, now thoroughly wrought up.
But he didn't, for Kelly ran out of the
gate and never stopped until he reached
the hotel.
"It was home rum explained Kelly
afterward, and l wouldn't let that Rube
swell his average by putting me out"

The excavation for the dry concen-
traitor at Johannesburg Is finished and
the building is being erected, says the
Randsburg Miner. The gasoline engine
and rock crusher are on the way from
Kramer and as soon as the building is
ready the dry concentrator machine will
be in johannesburg. Great interest is
being manifested in this matter and if it
proves the success anticipated, the camp
will be very lively, as large number of
extra men will be at once put to work.
A miner at Lone Pine, Inyo county,
found two gold nuggets worth $500 in
Tule canyon.
j. M. Dover. who has some properties
in the Greenhorn mountains, has three
feet of ore at depth of thirty eight feet,

the Wangaman mill soon and a test
made.

the Three Chimneys mine in the Keys

MINES AND MINERS
Arizona

There is good proof that the placer
diggings along the Hassayampa river in
Yavapai county have never been thor
oughly worked. Only few days ago a
gold prospect was found in that district.
The gravel beds have given thousands of
dollars to their operators. The ground
is worked spaemodically and every now
and then some one finds a rich streak.
The building of the Walnut Grove dam
will materially aid the miners. 1t will
furnish water for the entire region, al
lowing the low grade portions to be
worked with profit.
The Lynx Creek Gold Mining COM
pany is operating some placer PROPOSE
tions in Yavapai county with considera-
BILE success. The steam shovel, which
combines the whole process from raising
the gravel to amalgamating the gold
has proved a success.
Eight or ten men are at work con-
stantly on some rich placer ground near
the Model mine in Yavapai county. Par
ticulars could not be obtained as to their
success, but from appearances they seem
to be happy.

Wager and Fuller, located at Squaw

The latest news from Maryland
gives a reasonable hope of demo
cratic victory in that State next
Tuesday. The advices are that Bal
timore will certainly elect demo-
cratic mayor, and that the Legisla
ture will in all probability be demo
cratic by slight majority. The only
obstacle in the way of success, it is
stated, is the Baltimore Sun, and it
is now believed that its democracy
is so far below par, that but few dem
ocrats are willing to heed its teach
ings and to be duped by tany longer
and no democrat should be longer de-
ceived and Influenced by the Sun un-
less he is willing to change his politi-
cal faith and be led by the Sun into
the republican camp. Because we
believe that most of the democrats of
the State, who have heretofore been
misled by that journal, are ready to
retrace their steps, we look for sue
cess to democracy in that State next
Tuesday. And the fact that it will
mean that Mr.. German is to be his
own successor in the United States
Senate will not abridge the happiness
in the least which we will feel in the
event. No democrat in the South
ought to forget the fight he made
against the force bill OF cease to be
grateful to him for it. We hope to
be able to chronicle a democratic
victory all along the line in Mary
land after next Tuesday.

A Frightful accident.

York Central Railroad train plunged
into the Hudson river three miles
south of Garrisons just before day
break this morning and twenty per
sons were killed. Coach was piled
on coach at the muddy rivers bot
tom. A coupling pin broke at the
fatal moment and three cars remain
ed on the track. Men in the smoker
must have fought like demons in try
ing to save themselves, for they were
mass of wounds when found. The
cause of the wreck was probably the
giving way of wall under the road
bed.

Major j. Hoge Tyler, the next
Governor of Virginia, was at Accomac
c. H., according to announcements
last Monday, and hundreds of Demo
Gratis despite the stormy weather
were out to greet their gallant candi-
date and hear him discuss the issues
of the canvass. His speech was an
entertaining one. was we'll received
and attentively listened to by his
audience from beginning TO close. 1t
was devoted largely to the discussion
of the financial issue and in exposing
the Republican boast of returning
prosperity and his views on these
question were so clearly presented
and so literally illustrated by witty
anecdotes that no one could fail to
see and clearly comprehend them.
He submitted facts showing, despite
the claim made in some sections be
cause of dollar wheat and in this Sec
ton because OF the better prices re-
ceived by US for potatoes and other
trucks, that the condition of the
agricultural and laboring classes in
Virginia and other States was grow
ing worse all the time and contended
that no real prosperity can be looked
for till we shall restore the bimetallic
system that prevailed from the foun-
dation of the government on until
1878. The only reference made by
him in his speech to State matters
was in regard to our oyster interests
and his assurances in this respect,
viz, as Governor "to advocate just
and liberal policy in regard to the
oyster interest aud to maintain a
vigorous fleet to protect Virginia
waters from depredations,n could not
be otherwise than gratifying to our
people. His speech made a good i'm
preston on those who heard it and
ought to add largely to the vote he
will receive in Accomac next Tues
day.

Every democratic voter of Accomac
ought to be at the polls next Tues

publican opponent, Mr.. Saunders
and the election of Saunders would
mean republican vote in our next
Legislature, which might block leg
islation in that body necessary to the
best interests of Virginia. Vote the
whole democratic ticket, but be sure
to cast your vote against Saunders
and for Montague, the democratic
nominee of Elizabeth City and Acco-
mac, worthy in every way of your
