most promising section from mining
standpoint and asserts that Little Mi
nook is second Bonanza creek. This
statement General Carr makes after
having personally Investigated several
claims which had been developed to
bedrock.
The facilities for developing claims
in the Minook district appear to be dis
tressingly bad. In regard to this Gen.
eral Carr details the trials of man
named Joyce, saying:
ION claim No "a, Little Minook, he
in November went down "a feet, every
inch of which had to be picked. He has
done it single handed, using a ladder,
which he has to climb every time he
takes out bucketful. Under the regu-
lations there at least 90 days of actual
prospecting work must be done on each
claim during the winter. In order to
do this it is necessary to build cabin
to live in.
1.-The pay streak has been struck on
Hunter creek, also on claims Nos. 60
and 100 The bottom of this creek
is about 700 feet wide, making it ex-
tremely difficult to prospect. The warm
and changeable weather in October and
November retarded prospecting very
seriously, so that little result has been
accomplished upon any OF the creeks
other than Little Minook. All of the
creeks there are being prospected dill
gently. Men are on their claims, prepar-
ing to work them if found valuable.
Supplies are plentiful, but of high
price. Here are few instances: Poor
tobacco, So a pound; salt, 20 cents a
pound; small heating stoves, $50 to $40;
small brass hand lamps, $l5. Other
things are in proportion. No cases of
sickness or i'll health are reported.
There will be good openings for men to
make good wages next year in this dis
trict if it turns out as rich as it seems
to promise, but it is perfectly clear that
a man, to make success even at work
ing for wages, must be strong, intelli-
gent, capable of doing hard work and
accustomed TO work. "--Chicago Record.

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

II ARDLY less important to California Republi-
| cans in this campaign than the selection OF
strong candidates for State offices is that OF
putting forward in every county strong legislative
ticket The issues involved in the control OF the
coming Legislature far reaching and are likely to
affect national as well as State politics.
There are present eighty-nine members of the
United States Senate, Oregon being one Senator
short, and OF these forty-four Republicans The
recent victory in Oregon that the vacancy IN
the Senatorial representation from that State will be
filled by Republican, and Republican has also been
chosen to succeed Senator German of Maryland If
other changes the party will have just bare
majority IN the Senate when the next Congress as
sembes, and that margin OF superiority will hardly be
sufficient for the important legislation that is ex-
pected to be undertaken 1t clear therefore, that
order to advance the adoption of the great national
policies OF the Republican party with regard to the
currency the promotion of American shipping and
other hardly less important matters, the Republicans
of California should make an earnest effort send
Republican to the Senate to succeed Senator White.
In addition to the national issues which may be de-
pendent upon the of the Senator be elected
Sacramento this winter, there are a host OF local
questions which render it imperative that the Re
pubIcans should have strong working majority in
the Legislature. No matter what advantages nature
may have bestowed upon particular community its
prosperity is always less affected by the laws
which direct its affairs. No natural prosperity how
ever great withstand the drain put upon people
by wasteul and extravagant Legislature if left to
run its inevitable course.
While the large national questions at stake upon the
election of United States Senator, and the mpor-
tant local issues involved in the election of Legisa
that will be at economical and progressive,
will naturally incline to vote the Republican leg
isative ticket, too much dependence should not be
placed upon those factors in the problem. Senatorial
and Assembly districts comparatively small, and
the candidates in them generally well known
the voters that personal considerations often
effective as political issues in determining results
election day The Legislative ticket, therefore, should
be made up of men who personally popular and
esteemed; whom the people know and trust;
men who are not under the domination or influence

bound to any corrupting combination or personal
ity; men who can be counted to do in Office that
which they promise in the campaign, and whose can
didacy will add strength to the whole ticket in the

cUBa'S PECULIAR PATRIOTS.

IF DR. Castillo is a sample Cuban patriot the island
| will be in a bad way after it has really fallen into
the hands of the natives. Yankees have been
termed pigs, but if the appeation is deserved what
shall the Castlos be called? This chap is in Wash
ington with a claim for $4,000 for the destruction of
cocoanut trees Siboney. He is not willing to
take his pay in the boon OF liberty; he is after the
cash. and deserves not to get it.
Castillo does not state the manner in which his trees
were destroyed. Perhaps the boys in shining them
for nuts barked them fatally. Possibly the trunks
were needed for the construction of roads 1t may be
they were scorched death when necessity for
burning Sboney to destroy the yellow fever germs
lurking there. But whatever the precise circum-
stances Castillo has not good case. If it a
rst-cass his grandchildren might collect, but
there is no utility in Castillos monkeying around
with his claim.
Americans did not go to Cuba with the idea of de-
stroyng anything but Spanish rule That they sue
ceeded in this than offsets the incidental dam
age. Castillo did not draw a sword himself, nor, in
deed, draw more than regular ratons So long as
he preserved whole skin and full stomach he ought
to be satisfied It's measey OF patriot who is
willing to have alien nation do his fighting and fur
nish his grub, and is not willing to donate to the
cause few trees Probably the trees were not worth
the sum mentioned but if Castillo pins his faith to the
cocoanut as a of income, his best scheme is
to go back to Cuba and plant some more.
This Castillo is a brother of the general who
imagines himself rghtful Governor OF Santiago and
who is likely to have his material system materially
