While still maintaining that the Ad-
ministration made a mistake in not
several months ago, notifying Spain
that the war in Cuba must stop or this
government would recognize the bellig
erent rights Of the insurgents and
cease patrolling the Atlantic to prevent
munitions and supplies being shipped
to them from our ports, we must still
accord to the President and his cabinet
the approval of all fair minded people
for their course since ths Maine disas-
ter. By not impulsively plunging the
nation into war with Spain until a
complete investigation had been made
and the direct or indirect responsibil
ity of that disaster fastened upon the
Spanish authorities the United States
has vastly increased the respect of
other nations for our government. Ad-
mitting that there may be worse things
than war and that national dishonor
or national cowardice are much more
to be deplored than even the calam
tiles and losses of defeat, it is still true
that war should only be the final re-
sort in settling international disputes.
Yellow journalism and jingoism have
now had a long run, and the sober sec
ond thought of the people is coming
back to them. In the mean time no.
thing has been lost by the delay, and
dignity of the government has been
preserved. That there will be war is
still almost certainty, but by the de-
lay in beginning it we have gained
the goo1 will of other nations and will
have their sympathy if we have to
shoulder the responsibility. When it
comes we hope it may be short, sharp
and decisive enough to forever squelch
the pride and arrogance Of nation
which has long since ceased to have
any right to rule any territory outside
of her own little corner of Europe.

Captain De La Mars Golden Gate
mill at Mercur is now merrily in mo-
ton and we hope turning out for its
nervy owner enough bullion to bring
his daily income up to a figure which
will rank him away up among the mon
eyed barons of the world. 1t is the
biggest quartz mill in the world. What
nerve and energy its owner has shownl
How we'll he deserves the smiles of for
tune! Ten years ago he came to Idaho,
climbed War Eagle mountain; tried to
dicker for property up there; went
from there to South Mountain and
looked that deserted camp over very
thoroughly and tried to make deal
for the entire group of mines but
found two or three "dogs in the man
ger" there; and then he bought the
Wilson claim here and the Cosmos mill
in Silver City. In these deals he had
for partners two fat and wealthy Chi
cago Dutchmen, who could not run at
the little Captains pace, and he had
tough time Of it for a couple of years,
often being hard pushed for means but
never letting payday pass Without
the money to settle. The Chicago
Dutchmen put up s12,50O to pay for
the Wilson mine and then locked their
safe and lost their combination, leav-
ing the Captain to go it alone. He
wrung money enough out of the
ground here to keep going, and at in
tervals one or the other, or both of his
close listed partners would come out
here to quarrel with him, and many
were the instances when amused listen
ers heard Amster damn Dutch invec-
tives flying out of three throats at once.
But the two big Dutchmen couldn't
hold the little one down. He got an
option on their interest in the mine |
here, which they had done everything |
in their power to prevent him from de
veloping, and the Captain finally paid
them half million dollars to go away
and let him alone. Then, a year la ter,
after having put quarter million dol
lars betterments upon the property
and taking more than a million out of
it he sold it to the present owners for
money and stocks, finally realizing for
it nearly three millions. About S300-
BOO of this sum he invested in Boise
and improvements. About
this time he told the writer that the
money he now had was nice nest egg

The mining and Scientific Press gives
the details of the cost of mining and
milling quartz ore at mine in Nevada
County, California, at the remarkably
low figure of 60 cents per ton. The
cost of mining and delivering the ore
at the mill was 1884 cents and the cost
of milling 26A cents. The ore is tram
med 800 feet to chute and then tram
med 100 feet to the mill. The mill runs
40 stamps with concentrators. The fig
ures of the cost were made on 271s
days run during which 1886 tons were
mined and put through the mill.

If Bryant goes right along fobbing

The foregoing is one of the "original''

notice that there is an inference in it
that as soon as man becomes bond

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 19.-In his re-
port to the Governor, State treasurer
Will s. Green makes several valuable
recommendations. The report was In
part as follows:

the fact that California is still following

the money in circulation, and make II q

at present. Upon thorough consideration
and investigation l am of the opinion
that a system of State and county de-
positories ought to be established.

Special Dispatch to The CAN.

NEW YORK, Nov 19-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Herald sends
the following: Further instructions
respecting the character of the note to
be presented to the Spanish commits
sioners on Monday next were sent to
Judge Day to-day. The authorities de-
cline to state specifically their nature.
but 1 was told that they relate merely
to minor points and were brought up
by Judge Dav in dispatch which he
sent to Secretary Hay this morning.
Secretary Hay received this morning
from the cipher experts of the depart
ment a translation of the synopsis Of
the Spanish commissions note received
on Wednesday, The cablegram from
Judge Day settine forth the contents
of the note was so long that the last Of
it was not received until this morning.
In the concluding paragraphs the
Spanish representatives suggested that
some competent person be selected to
interpret the provision of the protocol
relating to the Philippines to determine
whether or not the United States had
right to demand their cession.
Such arbitration is out of the queS-
ton, and Judge Day and his associates
have been informed of the attitude of
the administratiO on this point. Inc
authorities still insist that as the Presi-
dent prepared the protocol and Spain
accepted it he only is qualified TO de-
termine it's meaning, and he will not
permit the entrance Of any third party
or power into the discussion.
1t was reported this afternoon that
the American commissioners will pre-
sent an ultimatum to the Standards on
Monday. 1t was officially stated that
the report is untrue. AS the Herald
has explained, what will be done will
be that in concluding their note the
American commissioners will declare
that there can be no further discussion
of the rights of this Government to
take the islands; that Spain must re-
linquish them without further discus
sion, and that the President expects
that the work of preparing treaty
of peace shall be concluded without
further delay. 1t is expected the Span
iards will make every effort to get
every cent possible out of this Govern
ment, but it is not believed the Presi-
dent will be willing to pay Spain more
than $25 0O0, 900 or $50. 900 900.
