 Hon; James c; Mcguire and delegation. Washington, D. C.: Please present the pre- test of the committee of fifty to the House and conferees. We earnestly protest against any extension of time to the Central Pacific for the payment of the debt. San Francisco has been successfully deprived by this corpc- ration and its allies Of a competing road and we should improve this opportunity. to give the city and State the benefit of indepGnGent service. and at the same time break the nopoly, JAMES D. PHELAN, Mayor
 A letter from John T. Doyle, protest ing against any extension of time, was read and will be forwarded to Washing ton It is as follows:
 F The press reports having announced the passage by the Senate of the House deficiency bill with an amendment authorizing a mission of executive officers to settle :he in- !. debtedress to the Government growing out of the issue of bonds in aid of the construction of the Central Pacific and Western Pacific rail- roads. upon terms to be agreed upon with the owners of said roads, earnestly protest against said legislation a distinct discrin- ination in favor of dishonest debtors, who, as shown by the report of a Congressional com mission. have already defrauded the public out of millions and cruelty oppressed the people of this Coast for a quarter of a century and now shrink from a determination of the sum due by them by the courts of the country in the ordinary course of justice We condemn if as unjust, irnpolitic and premium on dishonesty Recognizing, however, in the condition of Con- gresslonal business at the end of the long ses- sion and in the presence of foreign war the imminent danger of it's passage as part of the deficiency bill, we earnestly entreat the friends of justice in the House of Representatives and especially our own Representatives in Congress to at least secure the amendment of the follow ing gross defects in the measure as it stands:
 First-Insert a provision requiring the can cellation or forbidding the confirmation of the existing or any similar lease of the road to the Southern Pacific Company. and requiring it to be operated independently competing road
 Second-Limit the time within which the com mission must exercise Its powers to the first Monday of December next

1t ts unfortunate that some teachers OF
the young fail to adapt themselves to the
perceptions of their tender charges. They
are apt to shoot over their heads, as 1t
were, and the effect on the cherubs is any
thing but beneficial.
At certain East end Sunday school
some time ago the teacher talked to the
infant class upon the evils connected with
strong drink. The little tots Of and s

the rum demon. Finally the teacher cried:
Wine Is a mocker!'
The children pricked up their ears at the

one of the prophets Of old.
The children looked very grave indeed.

for the third time, and then she turned

the blackboard.

whirled around II want you to tell me

The lite ones looked about vacantly.
"Wine Is a mocker!" cried the teacher.
Now what is wine? first little boy

The next little boy looked still more

The third little boy smiled. He was a

"Wine-is-a-monkey," he bravely an

Copper Camp

Copper Camp is reached by way Of Man
vel, the present northern terminus Of the
California Eastern railway, from which
1t Is distant about sixteen miles. There
is a good wagon road to the camp all the
way from Marvel. The camp Is a new one,
having only been opened up about four
months ago. 1t lies between the cele-
brated old Ivanpah silver camp and
Kessler springs, with Providence noun
tains to the south of the latter. The prop
erty belongs to Messrs. w. H. McEwen
and Frank Cole, both well known mining
men.
1t consists of twenty-one claims, on
some of which a considerable quantity Of
work has been done. Four
carloads of the ore were lately shipped to
Pueblo, one carload at time. and each
carload gave an average profit Of over
$500 a car. One carload gave profit of
over $500, all expenses for freight and
treatment deducted. 1t costs about SIS
a ton to ship ore from the camp to Pueblo.
Returns received and tests made show
that the ore runs from 20 to 60 per cent
in copper and about $40 In gold and silver
to the ton. Some of the ore taken out
yielded as high as 100 ounces of silver to the
ton.
The ore bodies vary in width, those of
high grade running from four to six feet
while others run to width of twenty feet.
These latter lie between lime and porphy-
ry, and average about II per cent in cop
per- Mr.. McEwen says the ore carries
enough gold and silver to pay for all
charges of working and shipping.-Los

Water Very Scarce

The scarcity of water Is severely felt in
some portions of Placer county. The Col
fax Sentinel says the effect on hydraulic
miners Is disastrous. Fourteen permits to
mine by the hydraulic process were Issued
by the United States debris commission of
California. In nearly every case the pipe
lines and monitors were in place behind the
accepted restraining dams. Nearly all of
these mines have been unable to turn on
water this season. The only notable ex-
ception has been the Polar Star Hydraulic
mine at Dutch Flat. which has used 1000
inches of water for a portion Of each day
during the winter. Other mines have also
suffered on account of scarcity of water.
1t Is stated that the Taylor quartz mine
in Ell Dorado county may be obliged to
shut down for a portion OF the summer.
Colonel W. s. Davis, who formerly operated
at Mammoth Bar on the Middle fork of the
American river, seven miles above Auburn.
and who is now working Texas Bar, has re-

company that water cannot be supplied
this season. Mr.. Davis is removing his
hydraulic elevator and machinery from the
river. From the present outlook the Bear
River Hydraulic company, operating on
Bear river, two and one-half miles north of
Colfax, will not resu,ne this spring.

PATRIOTIC VERSE

The poet Is the child of the universe. He
not only finds natures secrets out, but he
delves into the hidden recesses of feeling
and opens new vents, skyward, for heart
and mind. His mission has been frequently
defined as belonging chiefly to the realms
Of 1.-The good, the true and the beautiful"
yet Coleridge calls poetry the blossom and
fragrance of all human knowledge.
The tendency to convey high moral mean
ings and stern truths pertaining to the act
ual world of fact has developed to a no.
ticeable extent in new world verse. The
poets of America, like the poets Of classic
Greece and Rome, have given impulse to
noble thought and heroic action. The love
of country inherent in the human breast,
but which, like the rose, will not blossom
In the dark, has been called into outer fra

The patriotic hymn known as America"
written in 1922 by DR.. S. F. Smith, was first
sung by school children on July 4. 1890.
Some one has said of it's use in the schools
of the present time:
With swelling hearts we hear them sing,
my country it's of thee
From children's threats the anthems ring,
Sweet land of liberty"
Not only for patriotic and educational
purposes have these lines grown imbedded
in the nations life, they are a part on
many occasions of religious and social ex-
ercises.
