LEGAL SALES.

The press Of the state has taken
up the fight to have a measure pass
ed requiring all legal sales Of real
property advertised three weeks in a
newspaper giving notice Of date and
place Of sale Of said property. The
press is usually too busy looking
after the political end Of their repre-
sentatiyes interests al home, giving
space to promulgate their views and
keeping out all unfavorable crit
icism Of their votes and OPINIONS, TO
ever get time TO urge a strictly bus
mess measure such as the above is.
And when a few muster up courage
to advise and ask for the passage Of
such a bill, they are charged with
lobbying for solely personal inter
ests. Now, if there had been such
a law in the past the skintlint who
slipped around buying things at
forced sales that had been adver-
tiscd by posting on the doors Of
shops, pOst-ohlCeS and horseposts
would be poorer in this worlds
goods and the unfOrtunates would
have received more for what they
were forced TO sacrifice by stress Of
circumstances. The advertising Of
anything is the only way to bring
in desirable customers and that the
columns Of the newspapers is the
place to do it there can be no doubt,
In this county the attorneys and
commissioners have without ex-
ception OF late had all land sales
advertised in the papers, realizing
that the parties at interest would be
the benefciaries. These advertised
sales have attracted buyers, not only
from all over the county, but from
the adjoining counties, and the man
who had his plans laid to get a bar
gain for the lack Of bidders, has
had to 90 down deep in his pocket
and pay much higher prices than he
had calculated to pay.
Every decree signed by a chancel-
lor, or sale on a judgement from
any court, should be duly advertised
in the local paper, and we feel as
sured in making the statement that
the price thus obtained will many
times double the printers fees. The
widow and orphan, the poor and the
unfortunate are the beneticiaries un-
der such a state. Printers are not
wholly selfish, but they are modest
to a fault in demanding things

THE COUNTRY lAMHtR.

Nr. Cleveland has paid, in an
article in the YOUTH Companion
a tribute that vas long due, from
some distinguished and capable
hand 10 the American country law
yer. lie shows that eighteen Of our
twenty-five Presidents have been
country lawyers. In the Senate Of
the fifty-eighth Congress there we're
thlrty-seycu country lawyers and
sixteen city lawyers out Of a total
membership Of ninety, and in the
House Of Representatives 1855 coun-
try lawyers and sixty-two city law
ycrs out Of 1886 members,
The profession Of the law has
been dominant in this country since
the little group Of arjstocratic foun-
dcrs gave way under the democratic
impulse. And as it is the country
that rules, as the result Of our prac-
teal restriction Of representation in
the House TO residents OF the dis
tricts it is naturally the country
lawyer who leads. He comes to the
top partly by virtue Of his superior
knowledge Of public affairs, due to
his training and experience, and in
still larger measure by virtue Of his
ability to talk. The people, as a
rule, do not want a Representative
who cannot give them, in properia
persona, a clever account Of himself
and his principles, nor do they want
one who cannot stand up in his
place and speak for them and their
needs if occasion requires.
Besides, the country lawyer is, by
every circumstance Of his life, a per
son who is generally superior to his
fellows. The impulse to excel, the
urge Of brains and activity, the nat
ural desire for leadership, which in
early New England and the States
influenced by New England sent the
pick of young countrymen into the
pulpit, now direct their footsteps to.
the bar. If early New England was
a theocracy, our States now are a
]Iawocracy, 50 to speak.
The country lawyer is usually one
eminently fit to lead. He is the
best that there is in his town, He
is not stamped with the mold Of the
commonplace. lie is individual,
often eccentric, and generally a
thinker on his own account. He
travels about the State, even if he
seldom gets out Of it. lie is the
window by which the light of the
outside worlds beats into his COM
munlty. Even the country editor
must respect and consult. When
he expands and becomes a national
figure, as so many village lawyers
have done, nobody at home is sur-
prised. 1t is regarded as the nat
ural thing.

mo matter what may be said
against them, this state especially
and the north, have been enriched
by our life and fire insurance com
panieS,' said a successful New York
lawyer. He is right. Many Of the
companies from small beginnings
enjoy a steady flow of millions Of
dollars annually. Southern com
panies can achieve the same success,
and some Of them are in the way of
doing it. The growth and reliable
ity of The Mississippi Home Insur-
ance Company warrants the asser-
ton that it will soon be a $500,000
company, with a record Of millions
paid out, As insurance is a neces-
sity the more the public aids in
building up this Home company,
the greater the mutual benefits.

Held To Answer.

The preliminary exa nination of g.
Ivancovlch, who shot and badly
wounded G. Bergenich at the board
ing house of Lubjetich near the
Bunker Hill mine some three weeks
ago, was held in Sutter Creek or
Friday last, before justice W. L.
Rose. He was held to answer fol
assault with intent to commit mur
der, with bail bonds fixed at Sl0C0
He is IN Jail at present, having failed
to secure the bonds. The examin.
alton developed some sensational
features, one of which was the faci
that the defendant has taken rich ore
from the Fremont, some say of the
value OF between 500 and 5000. II
also developed that Lubjetich was
selling liquor without a license.
He was charged with this otfense
afterward, and fined $50, which he
paid.

MINING NOTES.

Kennedy-One of the interesting
features of the Kennedy niue is the
tailings plant This is operated by
the company, and is quite an import
ant source of revenue. Years ago it
was customary for plants to catch
the sulphurets from the taiIings from
the mill to be operated by outside
parties, who were charged a small
rental for the privilege. This was
the practice at the Kennedy, the
company in former years not deeming
it worth while to bother with this
business. Now however, many OF the
tailings plants are owned and worked
as part of the mine as it has been
found profitable undertaking. At
the Kennedy large galvanized iron
building has been constructed, and in
this GA large tables are placed, over
which the pulp from the mill flows,
leaving the fine sulphurets on the can
vas. 1t takes four men to look after
it, and it runs night and day. The
tables are cleaned every hour; and
the sulphurets saved are finally run
over concentrating machines, which
clean the sulphurets from dross to
great extent. They catch ON a aver
age about ton of sulphurets per day
from the tailings from the one hun
dred stamp mill. These suIphurets
are low grade, averaging not much
over half the value of the concentrates
caught in the mill. Even then the
value is something like $50 per ton,
which is the daily output of this
branch of the mine. So that after
paying wages and the cost of reduc-
ing the sulphurets, there is salts
factory margin of profit attached to
the business.
