A Long and Happy Life Ended.

| Mrs. Rachel Scales, who was the old.
est person in Owyhee county, passed to
her reward from the home of her
daughter, Mrs. w. II. Townsend, in Sill
yer City, Feb. "a, 1898. Surrounded by
loving friends, who did everything pos
siblc for her care and comfort, Grand
ma Scales, as she was lovingly calle,! by
everybody who knew her, died as she
had lived, 4 most loving and charming
character, who had graced the earth
with her amiability and cheerfullness
for more than ninety-one years. De-
ceased was born in County Glare, Ire
land, Feb. l, 1907, and followed her
children to America, forty three years
ago, fonr OF whom survive her-Mrs.
W. II. Townsend, of Silver City, Mrs.
Buck, Of Portland, Oregon, Mrs Dor
say, of North Vassalboro, Maine, and
Mr.. John Scales, of DeLamar, in all of
whose homes she was always more than
welcome. A deYout christian, her
cheerfulness never forsook her and
her love for her children and grand
children made her life, even in the
feebleness of her advanced years hap
py and contented existence and she
awaited her call to better world with
calm content known only to those who
have made this world better for having
sojourned here.
Her funeral was largely attended,
not by sorrowing friends, but by those
who realized that when such as she
passed out of this life, heaven was a
gamer when it claimed its own. Those
who loved her will miss her, but feel
that sweet and loving mortal has only
passed on to immortality.

What burst of patriotism that was
on the part of Russell Sage the other
day! Hear him:
There should be no wavering. This
government must demand full repara-
ton and that Immediately. Whatever
action, war or otherwise, President
Mckinley may take he should and will
have the full support of both rich and
poor persons alike. There Is no ques-
ton as to where the rich man stands.
In the civil war when it broke out |
bought government bonds and l did
the same in 1864. So did other rich
men. We had confidence in our gov
erDment. If the necessity arises now,
will do the same again generously
and so will other rich men that l
know of.
| am an American first and last, and
propose to stand by the flag. Party
lines will be dropped. AS to the stock
market, that has got to take care of it
self for the present. The ticker is now
a secondary consideration. The honor
of the government comes first. Ispeak
not only my own views on this point
but those of other moneyed men with
whom / have talked.
He might have added, ave moneyed
men will send delegations to Washing
ton to see that the bonds are arranged
to our liking and then, of course, we
will hammer down their price to a
point which will suit us before our
chasing them During the late war we
got them down to forty cents on the
dollar, and then we prevailed upon

If Uncle Sam doesn't get out and de-
clare himself, he had better haul down
the American flag and then turn up
his posterior and invite every dago in
the world to kick it.-Jim Townsend.

clare himself and give some of these in
significant countries a severe drubbing

and sixty to sixty five tons be
ing run through the plant every TWEEN
ty-four hours.
Fourteen more leeching watts will be
put in soon which will bring the capa
city or the plant, including the elec
tric plant up to more than 200 tons per
day.
The filtering press is the most inter
esting feature Of the plant. 1t is an
oblong box about eighteen feet in
length by two feet six inches outside
measurement.
This box is built up of six inch wide
transverse sections, between each two
of which is a cast iron plate fiuted AMI
guttered to drain into one lower COR
ner where spiggot hole is left in the
casting. AS the box is put together a
piece of heavy duck canvass is stretched
on each side of the fluted plates and
the whole is tightly clamped together,
each piece being hung on lateral rails
by projecting lugs. A hole is left in
one upper corner of each section and
plate and the canvass cut out at this
point so that when all is clamped to-
gether the holes in the sections form
pipe the full length of the press. A
pump forces the solution from the
tank through this hole into each sec.
ton of the press and canvass from
which it is drained out through the
the canvass, fluted plates and spigots
into a trough conveying it to the stor-
age tanks, the zinc powder and gold
and silver being caught and held by
the canvass.
The press is taken apart and a clean
up made as often as thought necessary
or convenient. With the present ca
pacity of the plant this cleanup will
be made about once a month. The wet |
and dirty looking paste taken out at a
cleanup is driel in steam pan, sacked |
and shipped to a refinery where the
zinc is melted out and the bullion cast
into bars to be sold.
The advantage over other processes
for this ore are
First, the saving of power, which at
the cost of fuel here was an enormous
expense.
Second, the cost of handling the ore
the mill, reduced to twenty
live per cent of the amount formerly
paid for labor.
Third, the greatly reduced cost of
and repairs.
Fourth, the reduced cost of the
chemicals and other materials used,
salt and blue stone being
abandoned and zinc powder and cyan
de of potassium being employed and
Finally, considerably higher per-
.entage of values saved.
The last item cannot, however, be
fixed or closely estimated
Until one or more clean ups have been
made.
1t can now be confidently asserted
hat the cyanide process has come to
tay in DeLamar, but there are so
many matters to be considered in con-
lection with the process, that its adap
alton to other ores in Owyhee or else {
'here, can only be determined by care
ul investigation and experiments c
lade by accomplished metalurgists,
nd it will not do for mine owners to 2
lmp at conclusions that their ores a
re adapted to the process.

Club people" are in for politics and
the Forty Club whatever kind Of
piece club that may beg, Knowing
that the constitution of the Waver-
ley Club provides expressly that the
Club shall be non.political in char
acter an unjustice would have been
done to the Club had the statement
appeared 10 a more reliable paper.
As it is we would advise the Waver-
ley Club to amend its constitution
and to become a strong, honest and
conservative political organization
devoted to the true advancement Of
the country under its changed con-
ditions, and with strong determi-
nation to crush the heads of politi.
cal bosses whenever they may APP
pear. Three hundred honest and
determined men could work wonders
in such a town as this.

Daddy Annexation's" yarns about
the natives and the American flag
may be all very nice, but we very
much doubt the instances as they
both smell very fshey. We would
like to know names so as to know
who the natives we're and what they
are. Hunt up some better yarn,
daddy, and don't try to make us
gulp it like medicine.

The length of Mr.. Gladstone's
political service can be measured by
the fact that he entered Parliament
at time when Andrew Jackson was
President OF the United States, and
retired from it when Mr.. Cleveland
had begun his second term. He
held his first Cabinet Office when
Daniel Webster was first serving in
a like capacity in the United States
Cabinet, half century ago.

We are informed that very pro-
minent military official, major, not
a minor, had it published in one of
our contemporaries that he bought
lot of American flag badges and
gave them to the natives employed
for the same corporation as himself.
He forgot to furnish the same to
some OF the foreign employees, The
moral of this case is that not uhe OF
the badges can be found on any
of the native employees now. They
are very scarce.

The news from China shows that
this sealed country is on the eve of
progressive developments. Orders
have been given to select intelligent
young men to study Western civil
ization in Europe and the United
States and to learn military tactics
under the tuition of the Japanese.
Franchises to construct railroads
and open mines are being given and
there is great revolution on foot.
The example of Japan is being
tardily followed, and the world may
awake some day in the not far dis.
tant future to welcome a recon-
structed China, and dragon of
terrible strength aroused from its
mysterious lair.

G. Advertiser, has delivered aspeech,
in which he eulogizes the New
England missionaries who convert
ed" the Hawaiians. The ancient
Senator might have known the mis-
sionaries prior to their departure
from Boston. He evidently did not
meet them again afetr they, in Ha-
wall, became the advance guard OF

No government is perfect, and it is
only natural that the taxpayers
occasionally should be called upon
to pay for the blunders of the gov
eminent. This afternoon the Coun.
Gil OF State has been asked to meet
and vote large sum Of money to
satisfy certain claim by certain
foreign powers. We admit that
it is human to commit errors, but
fail to find any excuse for the Dole
Government in using the method of
calling upon the Council of State
for succor, instead of going bravely
before the Legislature and asking for
the money needed to satisfy all the
claims against the Government,
which are yet outstanding and
which ought to be paid before the
affairs of Hawaii are finally turned
over to the Government at Wash
ington. 1t is poor policy, it is
cowardly and contemplate to shirk
an issue which the men Of Dole's
defunct republic knew would be
raj, ed. They knew, that they have
erred. Why not pay with good
grace instead of kicking against an
international prick2 1t would be
better for Hawaii and more honor
able for the Dole crew to turn over
the country, which they stole, with
clean balance sheet, than lay
themselves open to call for a
severe accounting in the future
Dig, gentlemen, and let by-gones be
bygones.

A Dog Case.

Attorneys Creighton aud Henshall
have filed damage suit against G.
w. Dickey, the architect, on behalf
of Alfred Roche, who claims to have
been injured in the sum of $4,000
through malicious prosecution on
the part Of Mr.. Dickey.
The parties in the case are neigh
bors, and it seems that two dogs
belonging to Mr.. Roche have dis
turbed the peace of Mr.. Dlckey by
barking and otherwise behaving as
properly fed missionary dogs ought
not to do.
Mr.. Diokey had Mr.. Roche arrest
ed, and the owner of the dogs was
discharged, as there was no appear
ance for the prosecution. The dogs
barked again and this time Mr..
Dickey, by his attorney, Lyle Dickey
appeared in Court to prosecute Mr..
Roche, who was acquitted by the
magistrate.
The attorneys Of Mr.. Roche then
brought the suit now filed against
Mr.. Dickey, to end, what they con-
slider, malicious prosecution.
In the meantime luau must have
taken place in the vicinity Of the
Roche place, as both dogs, which
have been the caSuS beH have dis
appeared.
Some interesting Developments in
regard to the fate of the dogs will
probably be disclosed during the
hearing of the case which will take
place at the November term,
