Active Beneficence

Suppose man to be cold and unsym-
pathetic-he listens to a tale Of woe
without experiencing any sorrow, and
beholds trouble without feeling any de-
sire to relieve it.
If he waits for such emotions to fill
his heart and inspire him to action. he
may wait in vain forever: but let him
speedily begin to do kindly deeds. let
him force himself to help. though he
cannot pity. to be courteous and gentle
even against his inclination, to promote
the happiness of those he meets.
though he may not feel disposed to do
SO. Ii he perseveres in such a course
his heart will soften, his affections will
expand, his sympathies will be aroused
and the beneticence to which he has
compelled himself will at length flow
naturally from a well spring Of benev-
olent feeling which has been formed
uhonsciously within his breast.

wave of his friendly hand or com.

Suring manner.

spread in liquid abundance over that
portion of Chicago, this policeman

She waited until nothing movable

broad smile was on his weather beaten
face as. nothing daunted by the scorn
of the naughty dame, he said:

Extract from the Report of
President Baxter to the
Stockholders of the.
T. c., /. 4 r. r. CO.
Let Everybody Rest Content that
there we'll Continue to be
Plenty of Work here.

In the early part of the year the
lease of the convicts with the State
OF Tennessee terminated, and the
termination of this lease we were
rid of the troublesome, annoying,
aud Of late years. Improbable COM
tract. The business Of the com
panv in Tennessee was in no wise
injured by reason of this, but up,
on the contrary, we feel that it has
been benefited in many ways, deA
tails of which it would hardly be
necessary to mention.
During the year the first ship
ment of pig iron from the South
PiAsburg furnaces by water has Ia
ken place, owing to the approach
ing competition of the Government
improvements on the Tennessee
River. The location of our minis
ilg and manufacturing plants in
the S1quachee Valley was based
upon these improvements, and
with the early completion of the
work the large river coal trade to
be opened up to us assumes in.
Creasimg mpOrtanCe, The lmpOre
tant St. Louis market for iron is
now largely controlled by ship
ments carried thereat low rates by
water, from participation In
which we have been deblrr ed by
the distractions in the river, which
are now almost entirely overcome
w hen the Government work, on
which over S3,000,000 have been
expended, shall be completed,
winch is expected to be within the
next two ears the whole western
system of waterways and points OF
consumption for coal will be opens
ed up to our Marion County coal
field, where we possess one mine
WHICH can be driven seven miles
in straight line without going of
our own territory, all this coal be-
ing above water level and Tree from
gas in the mine. We estimate that
this coal eau he placed on barges
at or below the cost of similar coal
in the Pittsburg district, and We
have the advantage of being 5OC
miles nearer to the Mississippi rlv'
er aud situated on river which il
never frozen, and which, being free
from sandbars, will permanently
retain the benefit of all Govern
ment improvements.

TRINITY'S GROUND is RICH.
STRIKE OF GRAVES BROTHERS
AUTHENTICATED.
Seems That 1t Is Impossible to Es-
innate the Probable Yield of
the Bonanza.

WEAVERVILLE, Aug IA. The
Weekly Trinity Journal" after a care
full investigation of the recent gold dis
coveries in Trinity County, to-day
prints the following authentic account
of the situation:
About two years ago John B. Graves
and a man named Mason located a pla-
Ger mine on Morrison Gulch. about eight
miles above Trinity Center, in this coun-
ty, and worked il for about a year Ma
son then left, and the two Graves bro
theirs and Henry Carter relocated the
claim. This spring they sluiced the
gravel and took out several thousand
dollars At the close of the sluieing sea-
son they discovered a small vein of
porphyretic rock, carrying free gold,
and ran a tunnel on it.
Soon after the tunnel was start ed
they commenced finding gold in extra
ordinary quantities. At the top of their
tunnel We're two small veins varying
from two to four inches in width one
nearly perpendicular and the other run
ming obliquely and converging TO the
first vein. Both carried a large amount
OF gold. Before they were in twenty
five feet they were taking out gold in
large quantities. The rock seemed liter
ally plastered with the precious metal
During the week ending August 18th

ton they took out the largest and finest

States Except where treaty stipula-
tions exempted them) coming directly
to the United States steamship points,
it did not touch goods brought in such
vessels to contiguous territory and
then shipped to the United States. He
argued that the clause had been in
serted to prevent just such round about
importations which now escaped the
Senator Allison's explanation that the
amendment made no change in the
existing statute, except as to such
goods coming into the United States
from contiguous territory which now
escaped the discriminating duty.
Mr.. McKenna asked if the last clause
Of the statute exempting such goods
imported in the usual course Of the re-
tail trade did not initiate against Mr..
Carlisle's construction, to which the
latter responded that the words "such
goods must refer to goods imported
invessels not of the United States.
After Mr.. Carlisle concluded, the At
torney-Genera1 pointed out that there
must have been in the minds Of the
Legislators who framed the clause a
meaning for the substitution of the
words came into" for imported, -
when applied to contiguous territory.
Mr.. Carlisle asked if goods in bond
from China could be considered goods
imported from Canada. The Attorney
General said they were not importa-
tions. Then Mr.. Carlisle said that the
fact furnished an adequate explanation.
If such goods were not importations,
then the words came into" would
have to be used.
The Attorney General gave Mr.. Car
Isle and Mr.. Hamlin until Wednesday
next to file their briefs.

nugget ever taken from mine in Cali
fornia or the United States.
This wonderful deposit of gold is not
in a pocket, but in veins and when the
two converging veins meet, which they
will at a short distance, from all indica-
tions. the yield will be fabulous There
is no question but that it will run into
hundreds of thousands of dollars and
probably into the millions. In these
veins nature sprinlled her treasure with
lavish hand. The gold is coarse and
wiry. One piece taken out weighed
ninety ounces and was a handsome
specimen, being smooth excepting one
end, which was honeycombed.
The mine is by no means exhausted.
In the top of the tunnel systematic
gougiRg yields from $500 to ST 900 to
the PAM and the vein shows no signs of
giving out. On the dump it is estimated
that the waste rock carries several
Thousand dollars. It is impossible to
estimate the ultimate yield of this bo-
nanZa-
The mine at which this strike has
been made is situated in the heart of
one of the richest mining sections of
California Not many miles away is
the Altoona Quicksilver Mining Com
pany's property, one Of the chief pro-
ducer's of the world. A short distance
off is the famous STROBE quartz mine,
whose output has reached into the hum
dreds of thousands Of dollars. In this
vicinity are also situated the we'll
known Blythe mining properties, the
Nash Deep Gravel mine, owned by an
English syndicate. and other remunera-
tive and working mines. The adjoining
country is ribbed with paying quartz
and covered with auriferous gravel. For
nearly fifty years this section has yield
ed a large amount of gold, and during
the past few years the output has been
greatly increased by intelligent labor
and systematic development. 1t lies at
the headwaters of the Trinity River,
whose course, from its source to Its
mouth has yielded millions.
