JOSIAH TURNER'S CLAIMS.

TO the Editor:
We believe in honest and fair play

knowingly injure or wrong Josiah Turn
or or oppose a just claim
We clip the following from your pepper
of February oath
The House Committee on Claims has
decided against Josiah Turner's $1,000
printing claim. They find that in 1878
he was over-pad for his work. Since
then he has been paid some $4,000. Q
The above statement is true in part,
and very little part and false and utter
~ untrue in great measure. Ii is true

agreed to allow this claim they after

vorable report.
That part which is so utterly false is
Because he had been over-paid in
1873 The committee found no facts.
Neither Josiah Turner nor James H..
Moore ever received one cent from the
State as public printer in 1873. j. IL.
Moore received $SS between September
20. 1871. and May 20, 1872, for work

pute with the treasurer and auditor. and
this is all that he did receive except as
below stated.
On page 70 of the Legislature acts,
1S72-'73. Auditors report, you
will find the following entry: RE

printer. for amount refunded, S3,33S.59.

of the difference found by the commit

out against his oppressors. We are con
ddent you will correct the error pub
lshed in your paper as above stated, and
give space for these few facts.
We would add that we know that your
reporter was misinformed, and that we
truse an9 believe no member of the
committee gave him the information,

some unaccountable way, and that he

facts are called to his knowledge.

believe the State will pay this interest
which is so Justly due Josiah Turner by

The Legislature should not adjourn

Of the combines upon the liberties of the

 week. It is men that have acted on
 such uhbusiness-lilt principles and
 have told and reto1d of their mining ventures so often that have injured the industry locally. Miners are as a
 rule as honest and as conscientious as any class of men on earth. Who has not in mind an attorney. a merchant, broker and so on whose word he would not take and whcm he would not trust behind him?
 Another great mistake of the inex- perienced is the purchase Of a mill CT reduction works before the permanent character of the ore is determined. n some instances before the heads of the miners are fairly underground; deval- Cpment is then generally suspended, and mill is for sale. The country is dotted here and there with monu- ments to such egregious blundsTs and, as a rule, men are chary of tackl.ng a proposition On which others have failed. The only safe proposition is to pay for it; then the risk or loss is re- dEced to a minimum. There are :so- lated inst tances where the erection of a niu on small high grade properties has paid for the development from the grass roots, but they are few Apply the same business principles in mining that you do in your office, store, bank factory or ranch and you will find tha mining is not a gamble" but one Of the most 1egitimata. trades, profess DTS or businesses on earth.
