MINES AND MINING

Sam Gardner of Scott valley is crowding work on his hydraulic claim at Hull Gulch. It is generally be- lieved that he will have the biggest cleanup of gold for the season in Scott valley mines.
 Consolidated Virginia makes a great showing, but the bears still keep it down. Last weeks output was over $23 3,000, the largest for several years.
 The Denver Post, in a recent issue, in speaking of the mining industry in regard to silver, said:
 Silver mining is still Colorado's sec end greatest industry. At about 50 cents an ounce many mines can yet be profitably worked. But if the price is reduced to 30 cents every silver min2 will have to close down and the State will lose a product worth some $50,- 900 000 a year. The proposlllon to e deem the six hundred millions of silver dollars in existence with gold and to melt this mass of silver down and throw it on the market as bullion means nothing less than the destruc- tion of what silver mining we have.
 The Phoenix Enterprise says that a new gold find has been made in Mari copa county, nine miles from Kyrene, by the Burnett Bros, of Mesa, who have prospected the section for mum

AMERICANS SEEK CANNERlES
Proposition for British. 1CoIumbian
 Combine

Vancouver. B. C.-An American com pany headed by T. B. McGovern and company of New York, and represented at Whatcom by w. A. Onffrey, is again endeavoring to form a combine of the salmon canning industry of British Columbia.
 Not only are canneries of the Frazier river to be in the mammoth concern, but American capital will to a large extent, be interested in the control of inlet, the Skeena and Alert bay, and the northern coast generally. Over seventy canneries are asked to go into the new deal. Although nothing of ficial has yet been given out it is said that proposals made are receiving fav- orable consideration by the Frazer River Gamers association.
 The English combine, proposed at the close of last season, and negotiated upon ever since. has entirely fallen through. N. M. Malcolm, of the United Canneries Limited, returned from London today and says that no ar engagements can possibly be made that could apply to this season, and the deal can be considered off. Manager Wymond of the Frazer River Guano factory, has been in Lcndon for sev- eral months, carrying on negotiations, but recently friction occurred between him and other representatives of the combine company, and as result a deal with English capital is now impos- sible. A big season is looked for on the river, and heavy pack is expected but cannery men fear recurrence CT the labor troubles of last season.

PeCuHy

Sullivan, formerly of this city, who disappeared In the Philippines while on a pros pecting trip has been murdered, and some of his murderers are now in the hands of the authorities. Sullivan went on prospecting expedition, and in some manner became separated from his companions and was captured by insurgents after a fight in which Sulli- van was woundcl. He and James L. Husket, private of the Twenty-ninth infantry, were removed from place to place for month, and then for some reason both were murdered.
 Charges of murder have been pre- ferred against Lieutenant Hilario Quesada, Corporal Luis Lopez, Gre gorio Omaja, Felipe Barnachea and Jacinto Abat, who are confined at San Fernando awaiting trial. More arrests will follow.
 The remains of the two men were afterward buried by the Igorrote Presi dente of the Rancheria of Sabed, and a party of natives, who at the request of Lieutenant Johnston, brought the re- mains into San Fernando de Union.

AS most of our friends know, the
writer is strictly temperate and in
favor of temperance, but we some
times think that the way Mrs. Carrie
Nation, S. NJ, goes at the question
with an ak is considerable like fore
ing ones views upon others. But
say what you will, these raids have
awakened a temperance spirit all
over the country, and the republic
may yet be redeemed from the liquor
traffic. Although these outbreaks in
Kansas may be partly a mob spirit
such as possesses the people who
take part in Iynchings, still Mrs. Ma
ton and her band of Ratchet WELD
ers seem to be protected by an un-
seen power SO long as they confined
their attacks to joints only for could
the saloon element or any of their
friends, by any hook OF crook, on
trived to have sen that parsonage,
Mrs. Nation, over the road, they
would doubtless have done SO in
double quick time, for the saloon
keepers, as a rule, appear to be pos
sessed with the patience of Job and
the teuacity of the Hoo ,ier School
masters bull dog, which, when he
had once taken hold, all heaven and
earth could not make him let go.
Observe how diligently the saloonist
will circulate petition after petition
in order to open a saloon, yet each
time they landed Mrs. Saloon Smash
er in Jail she was soon out again and
ready for duty. Had there been any
law whatever by which they could
have held her, such as breaking and
entering, maliciously destroying
property, or even causing a disturb
ance, they would no doubt have
made her pay heavily for her acts.
Still mob law should be condemned,
although in extreme cases a coat of
tar and feathers il excusable After
the Cudahy kidnapping the papers re-
ported that were the villains cap
tured there was no law in Nebraska
to convict them. If this is the case,
and the kiduapers are captured,
there could be little, If any, sympa-
thy for them, ii they died for want
of more rope, but in u opinion
cases where lynch law is justifable
are very, very rare indeed. The way
the mob spirit has recently taken
possession of the people in various
parts of the country Is a Disgrace to
civilization The way lynch law has
been carried on of late is more like
the doings of unenlightened savages
than of civilized (?) people living in
a Christian country. AS a prominent
paper aptly says, the saloonists will
find that churches are more protect
ed in Kansas than are joints. We
shall watch the outcome of the hat
Chef crusade with interest.

place in his publication, for they are
