London. February lo.--Tt has been a
grea. week for he government. As fore
told in these dispatches, Lord sa.i.blry
held his own in parliament AMI with the
country. The disunited liberal party was
no match for the conservative organiza-
ton. and even the small minorties mus
telea into the lobnies were largely leay-
ened with tine DISCONTINUED VINO, much
against their wills, voted in favor of the
parry amendment. The crushing govern
ment victory in the bye election at York
and the definite break between the liberals
and the reunited Irish leaves the field
clear for the party in power. Already a
meeting of the liberal party has bsen
called to express confidence In It's leader
in the house of commons, Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman and it is freely
rumored that he meditates throwing up the
thankless task of the nominal leadership
and that the opposition is turning wistful
eyes IN the direction OF Lord Rosebery
That so-called sphynX however is much
too astute to retake the guidance of such
an i'll conditioned body during a period
SO crucial in the country's history and
though, spasmolically he evinces de-
sire TO center the field of activs politics.

MONTE CRISTO. Oct. 15.-After nearly
three years OF idleness owing 10 the rail-
road having been washed out the Monte
Cristo Mining and Concentrating COM
pany is now working about eighty men in
the mines. besides a fun crew In the nib.
A large force OF carpenters Is getting
all buildings in Arst-class shape for the
winter, and as the railroad company has
about finished strengthening all its
bridges and completed nearly new road
bed as far as Granite falls, 1t Is conf
IDENTITY asserted by competent judges that
the water can do no harm this fall.
The main tunnel of the Mystery mine Is
In about 5000 feet. and on the new discov-
cry, 200 feet. shaft was sunk TO a depth
of l25 feet, which has been connected with
the Mystery by an upraise Of 275 feet, and
In consequence the company intends add
ing TO the present working force at least
$50 men, so as to run the mill TO its fun
capacity.
1t is claimed by those who are in "a po-
sition 10 know that sufficient ore Is now
exposed to keep the mill grinding away
for the next ten years and the company
has still much virgin soil TO open UP.
Superintendent Sutton Is sparing neither
pains nor expense in getting everything
ready for the winters work. When the
carpenters have completed their work
few mines In any section Of the country
will be better equipped with up-to-date
machinery and modern improvements
than the Monte Crsto. Capt. Christopher,
the veteran mining expert. is in charge OF
the working Of the mine, and II is needless
to add that all work is being done in
most systematic and satisfactory manner
Winter supplies of all kinds are being
rushed up the hill as fast as the railroad
can supply them. and the trsmway Is
doing nearly as much business up the NIL
a. down.
To celebrate the completion Of the up
raise. General Manager Butler, of Ever
EFT, and Superintendent Sutton are giving
their las employees. a banquet, which viii
be served at the Royal hotel saturday
evening. and Mine Host Cohen has been
cautioned by Messrs. Butler and sutton
that nothing that can be procured In See
attic markets Will be too good for their
employees and as an extra amount of
corkscrews have been laid in IL can be
seen that "eat. drink and be merry will
be the motto in Monte cristo on that
night
