OF the thousands Of persons who had
been vnccinated in Pueblo one and two
years ago during the epidemic. not one
has taken the smallpox during the pres
ent siege. while OH the contrary Of al! the
300 patients who have been treated for
smallpox by the city and county this fall,
not one had been vaccinated.
This is the proof positive and should
be incentive enough to induce all people
to be vaccinated. In fact it is plain
duty that each and every person owes to

N. Austin, the well known stage man
and postmaster at Austin station, called
at The MINER Office on his way to Baker
City with the cleanup from 80 cubic feet
of ground on the old Winterville diggings,
near Bonanza. The total amount of the
dust and nuggets was $4,000. -Four
specimens in the lot shown had from $40
10 S22s IN them.
Mr.. Austin stated that II was often
their good fortune to find pockets so rich
that $50 was obtained from a pan.
Austin, McMurdo & Co. are the owners
Of these old placers, and have handsome
income from them.
There is no reason why people should
pay from $500 to $3.50 to go to Nome and
take the chances OF freezing to death,

The miners Of the Quartz gulch placer

all the appearance and curve of the tusk

tE ONLY DalIY HEWsPApEs Ia ALABAMA
Calling a Worlds Conference.

country that rejects peace overtures must be at war and at it earnestly, too Ii Hung Chang, speaking for China, sues for peace, but the administration prefers war. It prefers war even if it is not at war It is not at war although it has seized an enemy's capital, putting the gov ernment of 400 900 souls in flight, and adding to the general confusion of the most ancient, most populous and in many re- spects most contented empire in the world
 At present the administration is anxious to get out of the muddle it voluntarily marched and fought itself into, by calling an international conference to set at Pe- kin or Tien Tsin. It is plain that all the injured nations should be represented in such a conference.-the more the less the chance of it's domination by the Russo French-Germanic combine. Upon the hold ing of such a conference, and upon the ac- ton of the powers in it, depends the ex- trication of the administration from long and expensive war and general muddle that no one can fathom.
 If each nation proceeds to negotiate with u Hung Chang on an independent basis 1t is plain the fighting would not be direct ed wholly against the Chinese. Nothing short of a settlement of the terms of peace by an international conference will keep under the jealousies and greed of the con- tinental nations, and it is by no means certain that even such conference can do it, for they have gone to China full of a desire to chop her into slices, each of them to have a fat slice. Good sense and even ordinary unselfshness may, however, pre- vail, and great problem may be put at rest for even a generation by a treaty that would be.a tribute to the worlds best civil Hzation. It is best to hope for the best, even when such a result seems almost im- possible.

keme industry.

The patriotic people of KnoxVllle are wearing tiny red bgttons-so tiny that there Is just room on them for these pregnant words-"I want Knoxville-made goods" There is no organization behind the red buttons, but every person, male or female who believes home industries should be pre- ferred by home buyers wears one of the expressive buttons. There is nothing cabal- istic in these buttons. They are as frank as they comprehensive, and they ex- press the paramount trade plank of the wearer.
 Birmingham needs 10000 such buttons, for every man, woman and child in this town who desires the town to remain prosperous and to increase as nature plainly intend- ed it should, should wear one. Such a but ton means that in buying a mattress or broom stove or bedstead or chair or snuff or what not, Birmingh ham-made ar ticle should be selected, all things about it being equal or nearly equal. This means in turn that each home factory will have as a basis home trade, thus promoting rapidly its growth.
 The town that will not give its own pa- tronage to its own factories does not de- serve to have a prosperous factory, and probably will not have one in the long run. Knoxville sees what must be done, and Knoxvllles wisdom should be copied here in Birmingham and throughout Jones Val ley. When Knoxville man built house putting into it a mantel from Boston only 10 discover later that it had been made in a Knoxville factory, and that its trip to Bosom and back had doubled its price, the people of that town began to think that it was high time to wear buttons saying, "I want Knoxville-made goods" If the people of this town will not wear on lapel or dress the tiny buttons, they can at least hum these words to themselves, T want Birmingham-ma goods" and they should see that the words made good.

CAN'T BE TOO SEVERELY CONDEMNED

From the Selma Journal.
 Such occurrences as the reign of mob law E the two metropolises of this coun- try, one of the North, the other of the South, cannot be too heavily censured by the press of the country.
 In both instances, for aAcrime committed by a negro, many innocent persons were assaulted and killed, all for the reason that it was their misfortune to belong to the same race as the perpetrator of the pri- mary crime.
 Especially does it lie well with the press of this immediate section to condemn such proceedings. The negro is with us and always will be. He Is of an inferior race and under the divine law il is the duty of his superiors to afford him protection. It is inexcusabIe that he should be maltrat- ed because he is negro and because some other member of his race has committed crime.
 The New Orleans and New York riots are to be placed in juXtaposition with the Boxers of China and their inexcusable of fences. That they happened in such large cities is the wonder, and it is not pleasant to contemplate what it might lead to in smaller places.

Mir. Peck in Paris.

The remarkable MT Peck, commissioner general Is now a grand officer of the Le- zion of Honor and Assistant Commissioner De Young has been decorated with simi- lar ribbon of a lower grade. Both are well beribboned, and this country is supposed to be happy over 1t.
 Mir. Peck brings back, however, some- thing better than a red ribbon, for he gath cred in from the recent awards bushels of gold, silver and bronze medals and prizes more in fact than were awarded to any oth- CT nation The awards to this country num- ber 1,9S1, of which number 220 were grand prizes, 4SG gold medals, 5S3 silver medals, 422 bronze medals, and 27O honorable mentions. The list is d wonderful tribute to American genius, skill and energy.
 Beyond all question the American eXhio- it's at Paris will do much to promote an eX- port trade that is fast rising into grand proportions; and the criticismc to which Mir Peck has been subjected on account of his mannerisms and petty mistakes, are repelled by the list of awards and by the impulse the exhibits will give to American trade. The country that is fast gaining high place in all markets could not afford to be backward at Paris. MT. Peck is doubly vindicated, first by his red ribbon and secondly, by the list of awards to American exhibitors.

have adopted the method of putting in hard work in localities where the Repu- licans publicly claim to be strongest, and for the most part leave to local commit- tees the duty of looking carefully after the fight in localities where the Republican managers claim to be weakest. The work of Mir Richardsons committee is said to be farther advanced than ever before at t..e corresponding stage of the campaign. Reports indicate tha. . all probability the Democrats will hold their own in New York, will gain one member in New Jersey twoand perhaps Connecticut and will lose two, and maybe three, members in Penn sylvania. But all losses in the past will be more than counterbalanced in the West. It is almost certain that two seats will be gained in Indiana, one in Missouri two in Kentucky, one in Iowa, two in Wisconsin, two in Virginia, one in Alabama, and one in North Carolina. This will assuredly give them control of the House of the -4.ty-seventh Congress- at least for pur- poses of organization, and consequently it is expected that soon a lively campaign for the Speakership will be inaugurated.

An English schoolmaster recently gave his pupils a lecture on patriotism, says the Scottish American. He pointed out the high motives which moved the volunteers to leave their homes and fight for their country. The schoolmaster noticed that one boy did not pay attention to the instruc- tion, and as test question he asked him ::
 What motives took the volunteers to the war?''
 The boy was puzzled for a moment, and then remembering the public "send off to the local reserves and volunteers at the railway station, he replied: Locomotives, sir"

ABOUT JOHN SHELTON WILLIAMS

''The South has furnished us with every sort of genius except the financial genius, and we now have him. says a Southern man in speaking of John Skelton Will jams, the brilliant young Virginian who has organized into the Seaboard Air Line two thousand seven hundred miles of rail- road traversing six of the Southeastern Atlantic States, says an exchange Mir Williams files up the gap in Southern tal- ent and achievement and is the latest and most striking exemplar of the fact that the South Is progressing. He is making a great epic poem of his work, lifting the South out of its prejudice, and has ac- complished his task without Wall street or the use of water stock. This young South erner, who has outwitted old railroad men like Gen. Samuel Thomas and Thomas F. Ryan, in Wall street, is not yet 37 years of age. His rise is apparently meteoric but he has done more thinking and work in this short span of years than most men of splendid careers have been able to do in seventy years When little more than a lad, his father John L. Williams told him to drop his work in the bank and go to the University of Virginia to study. Young Williams was hardly gone before the bank began to miss his talent sorely The house began to handle Southern se- curities, many of which, in those days, were hazardous risks After few months the young man was compelled to leave college and hurry back to the bank, but not to drop his books, for he had energy enough to run the business and educate himself besides, and is now a most ac- complished scholar as well as the South s great railroad Napoleon
