been decidedly above the normal, the.
rainfall ranging from one 10 four inches
IN the eastern counties. and generally
from one-half TO one inch in the Vest
ern.
The excessive rainfall in eastern and
northern counties has retarded thtesh-
ing ard having and kept corn growing
nicely. HaSing is now nearly finished,
and the crop IS short in all except few
northern counties, where the crop s

HAWAII MUST DRINK WATER.
Discovered That sale OF Liquors in
Islands is u ulnyvful.

Honolulu, Aug. 81, via San francisco,
Aug. 30.-The discovery has been made
that by the wording OF the territorial
bill congress has made an enactment
that absolutely prohibits the sale of in
5toxicating liquors in the territory of
Hawaii In secion 55 of the territorial
bill are the words: Nor shall spiritu-
cus or intoxicating liquors be sold ex-
cept under SUI ch regulations and restric-E
tions as the territorial legislature shall
PROVIDE The territorial legislature
has not met yet and can not meet for
some months, unless there is a special
session, hence no regulations at all
have been made or provided. If the old
rules and restrictions are void the PEN
|alties for violating them fall with them
and Hawaii is for the time being a
'wide-open5 country
Still another difficulty growing out of
the change in laws was developed yes
lterday in the district court, where Ed
ward Gill, editor of the Republican, was
on trial for criminal libel for his papers
account of thesrecent bar association
banquet. 1t was contended by the de-
lfense that Gill, under American law,
/ had right to both a grand jury inquiry
l.before the trial and Il jury trial in the
second instance. The district court
could not give the latter. The case was
thrown out of court on the ground that
lit was the business of the jury before it
came before the court.

silver King, near Wallace; and two

As to Certainty and Uncertainty.

Heller Skelterism in any kind of
business must pass into oblivion where
success Is desired. Luck in mining
may be possible in few instances, but
the ordinary line of success is in the
way of the man who understands his
business and puts money, muscle and
brains into it. The operation of min
ing is business of its own, and as fast
As science, practical wisdom, and hon.
est labor are invested, the uncertainty
of results diminish.
There is perhaps no line of business
which is ordinarily considered more
stable than farming, aud yet when we
consider its possibilities, liabilities on
account of drouths, floods, frosts, late
seasons, insects, hailstorms, cyclones,
over production, and gamblers cor
ners, it often looks mighty uncertain"
Compared with this, investment in
well established mines is not more un-
certain. The gold, silver, copper, lead,
zinc, coal, iron, are not subject to any
of the ordinary liabilities which make
farming so uncertain. In no way are
the products perishable. When the
study of geology, metallurgy and min
ing make its principles and facts as
well known as farming is now known
in cur country after 300 years, it is al
together probable that the certainty
will be in favor Of the value there is
in the bowels of the earth and not In a
few inches of its surface.
We sometimes see the long. almost
unreadable, lines of figures summing
up how much has been lost in mining
operations. We forget how much is
lost in farming enterprises. When
first saw southern Kansas In 1870,
think, almost every quarter section of
land had deserted house on 1t, and
where a family had managed to live,
it was because they were unable to get
away. They put their little all of
worldly possessions into that piece of
land, and in getting on it, only to find
under the circumstances they had lost
all save that land which they we're un-
able to improve. How many times this
has been repeated all over this western
country since that time, and yet we are
cited to farming as being so stable.
With all its liabilities, does not the
fact of its success lie wholly in that
it is SO we'll understood? Is it not
reasonable to estimate that when get
ting the wealth from the rocks is as
we'll known as in getting it by scratch
ing the surface that the stability Of
the investment will be on the side of
the precious things that lie in the
depths?-Des Moines, Iowa Mining

1t is not often that they prove abso-
lutely correct. IL the ore is not con
tinuous it almost invariably inclines
one way or the other, and it proves
more disastrous to attempt to "catch"
it by interception than it would be
to follow it; if it is intended to catch it
with tunnel it is almost certain that
longer tunnel will be necessary than
has been reckoned upon. While the
ore may appear at the surface as a
vertical, radical changes may occur
within few feet or yards of the top
and it may dip off and become a fiat
shoot, or, if of local origin, pinch out
altogether And the same with the
outcrops of what are apparently fiat
ore bodies. They may dip as they go
in and develop into verticals. By fol
lowing them the miner is taking ad
vantage of this, aud he is likely to gain
not little information concerning the
characteristics of the vein that may
prove valuable in working it if it proves
worth working.-Pioneer Times, Dead

Over 5000 feet has been opened up in
drifts and cross-cuts and the like. The
main shaft is over 300 feet in depth
and is double compartment one.
From the various stations levels have
been run, and it is said that the ore
chute on the 200 is the longest and
strongest of any property on the
creek. Like all mines in that zone,
the ore from the Red Rock is sui
phide and is treated by concentration,
labor being shipped. The plant is a
mechanical beauty, is of the steam
stamp order, aud is doing excellent
service. The ore is of a high grade,
carrying from 8 to ii per cent copper
and from 40S to T05 gold The last
returns netted the company 72s per
ton.--Journal-, ,Iiner.
