OUR GOLD AND SILVER.
Suggestions for the Securing of More
 Accurate Statistics.

Charles D. Wolcott, director of the geological survey, has sent to Secre- tary Bliss report on the subject of collecting the statistics of gold and silver production more accurately than Is now done. At present the statis- tics of mineral production are gath cred and compiled by the division of mineral resources of the geological survey, with the exception of those of gold and silver, which are under the charge of the director of the mint.
 The method adopted by the director of the mint for the collection of the gold and silver statistics is to obtain reports from private refneries of the quantities of the finished products placed by them upon the market each year, and the records of the mint s assay offices showing the amount of gold and silver of domestic production annually deposited at those institu- tions. The portion of the annual do- nestle product of the precious metals which does not go either to the re- fneries or to the hints assay offices is stated by the director of the mint to be accurately obtainable. By this system, however, there is no method of obtaining full information regard Ing the sources Of the gold and silver so reported.
 Gold and silver statistics are among the most important which the govern ment collects, and accurate informa- tion regarding the gold and silver pre- duction is more generally desired than probably that of any other mineral product. To be entirely satisfactory MT. Wolcott thinks, the statistics should also include statements as tc the products of each district, the sources, whether quartz or placer the character of the ore, whether free mill ing or leeching, and the methods ot treatment in each district Mr. Vol colt does not think the reports should include inquiries into the cyanide chlorination, bromine, or other pro cesses, but recommends that there b. ascertained the number of persons em

UNION PASS.
Promising Mohave County Camp ot
 Recent Development.

H. A. Strong of the firm of Emmens Strong & Co. of New York is develop ing a group Of properties for the con- ty-fve miles from Kingman. The group is known as the Union Pass group, being located near the above pass, on trail leading from the Colorado river at Fort Mohave This trail passes over the main claim of the group, near the foot of a perpen- dicular porphyry cliff 16S feet high.
 This porphyry cliff has an uninvit- ing look to travellers along the trail, as well as to prospectors, and for years it remained untouched. Finally a prospectOr more curious than others had been climbed to it's summit and on examination discovered that in ward twenty feet from its rim a quartz ledge eighty feet in width existed. The original discoverers started to sink prospect shaft in the quartz. but before proceeding to any depth, gave it up, as they deemed it to be too big to be of any value The present company, on securing the property, continued work on this shaft, and at a depth of twelve feet, struck ore which went S20 per ton. A tunnel was then commenced at a point thir- ty-five feet from the base of the cliff and work had not progressed very far until it was discovered that the DOT phyry was mineralized, values of from g to $3 per ton being obtained from assays. Further in these values in- creased to S7 per ton, and at distance of twenty feet in the quartz vein was struck as it had been on top, showing apparent uniformity of the formation for distance of 138 feet This quartz was carefully sampled every day as work progressed, showing a value of from SIP to s14 per ton.
 The tunnel was continued through the quartz and it was expected that the other wall would be struck a few days since, showing up the character Of the quartz from wall to wall.
 Back of this hill, on another claim, bonded by the above company, named the Mabel, a shaft was sunk twenty feet. At a depth of fifteen feet, and at point on the claim directly oppo- site the tunnel mentioned above on the other claim ore running from $40 to $45 assay value was encountered NIT. OlTOuS OeclQ6Q to send nVo tons of ore to the mill at White Hills, fifty miles distant for test run. While the expense will be quite great 1t will determine the ore value by a practical mill test as well as enabling them to determine the best methods for its treatment
 The claim in which the tunnel has been run is called the Goddess of Lib erty and the other claims in which they are interested are the Mabel, h. dependence and Sadie Crawford.
 Hon. O. D. M. Gaddis of Kingmon is associated in this proposition, likewise B. H. Spear of Fort Mohave and a Needles man. MT. Gaddis is very en- thusiastic over the outlook.

Ing TO Free 5o0ti7sS and Became
a Greedy Robber.

Early in the eighteenth century there
lived at Bridgetown, in the island Of
Barbados, q very pleasant, middle-aged
gentleman named Maj. Stede Bonnet.
He was man in comfortable circum-
stances and had been an officer in the
British army. He had retired from, mil
itary service, and had bought an estate
at Bridgetown, where he lived IN COM
fort and was respected by his neigh
bcrs.
But for some reason or other this
quiet and reputable gentleman got it
into his head that he should like to be a
pirate. But besides the general rea-
sons why Maj. Bonnet should not be-
come pirate, and which applied to all
men as well as to himself, there was
special reason against his adoption of
the profession Of q sea robber-he was
an out-and-out 1andsman and knew
nothing whatever of nautical matters.
He was fond of history and well read in
the literature of the day. He was ac-
customed to the habits Of good society,
and knew a good deal about farming
But Notwithstanding his absolute I'M
fitness for such life, Maj. Bonnet was
determined to become pirate, and he
became one. He had enough money to
buy ship and to fit her out and man
her, and this he quietly did at Bridge
town, nobody supposing that he was
going to do anything more than start
ISL
everything was ready his vessel slipped
out of the harbor one night, and after
he was sailing safely on the rolling sea
he stood upon the quarter deck and pro-
claimed himself pirate. He ran up
the black flag, girded on great cut
lass, and folding his arms he ordered
his mate to steer the vessel to the coast
Of Virginia.
Bonnet's men were practiced seamen,
and so when this green hand" came
into the waters of Virginia he actually
took two or three vessels and robbed
them of their cargoes, burning the ships
and sending the crews ashore. r5-
This had grown to be common Gus
tom among the pirates, who, though
cruel and hard hearted, had not the
inducements of the old buccaneers to
torture and murder the crews of the
vessels which they captured. It was
called narrowing" and was somewhat
less heartless than the old methods.
AS Bonnet wished to adopt the Gus
toms of the society in which he placed
himself, when he found himself too far
from land to put the captured crew on
shore he did not hesitate to make them
walk the plank, a favorite device Of
pirates whenever they had no conven-
lent way of disposing of their prisoners.
In one branch OF his new profession
Bonnet rapidly advanced. He soon be-
came a greedy robber and a cruel con-
queror. He captured merchant vessels
all along the coast as far north as New
England.-Frank r. Stockton, in St.
Nicholas.

THEY LOVED TIE NEGRO.
A Southern Father and Son Defend
Their Former Slave, Who Is
wrongly Accused.

Gen. Barnum, of Abbeville, S. c., had
body servant before the war who aped
him in everything. Peter so loved his
master that he grew to talk like him,
act like him and almost look like him.
He lives to-day, the heart of hospitality,
the soul of honor. One Sunday two
white men drove up to the door of his
cabin and asked if he had any liquor in
the house. He said he had about a
quart. They offered to buy. He re-
fused to sell, but, just as his old master
would have done, invited them to have a
drink. Having drunk they handed him
a half dollar Of course, like his mas
ter, he declined the coin. The scoun-
drels went to town and swore out com
plant that he was violating the dispen-
sary laws. RI
/ happened to be in Greenville the
other day when the trial took place, and
saw revelation. Peters counsel was
Gen. Barnum's son, adjutant general of
the state under Gov. John Gary Evans,
and the chief witness for the defense
was the general himself, who had come
over from Abbeville, distant about 100
miles, to say word for his former slave.
The general took the stand and his son
said:
''What is your nameY
ST am Gen. Barnum, sir.''
''Where do you reside?''
'Tn Abbeville, SIR
''How long have you known the de-
fendant?"
"sixty-fve years, sir" ~
"What is his reputation?"
GAS good as any mans il this court
room, SIR
''Would Won trust him?'
'"Trust Peter? Why, ia trust him
with my life, my bonor!'
The jury didn't leave their seats.
The scene ''sorter touched me up"
met young Barnum and asked if he re-
ceived anything for his services. 'Ac-
cept fee from Peter?" he said, in
amazement. ''Why, sir, I'd as soon
think Of charging my father"
'You and your father came 100 miles
to clear this old negro?"
Eyes, and we would have come 1000
or 10000. Old Peter was a second ia
Their to me- He raised me. When was
well he played with me; when was i'll
he nursed me. When I was a boy I'd
rather sleep in Peters cabin than in my
own bed at home I'd rather take a
snack with Peter in those days than
dine with the president"
I'm afraid we Yankees don't under
stand the ''nigger" question yet.-N. Y.
