Goldfield Mines Closed.

GoldHeld, New. November 3d.
The Mine Owners Association of
GoIdfield met to-day and, after con-
sidering the general conditions, pass
ed the following resolution, which is
construed by the Goldield public as
being def to the Miners Union and
forecast of an "open camp when
the mines resume work:
Whereas, 1t is impossible for the
mine operators of this district to
obtain gold or currency to pay for
labor and supplies; and whereas, the
miners, by official action of the
local Miners Union, have refused to
accept in payment for labor the only
substitute for gold obtainable; and
whereas. the local labor market has
become unstable and in a state of
unrest to an extent that has MATER
tally injured the prosperity and sue
cessful development of the resources
of the Goldfeld district and the
entire state; and whereas, the pre-
sent financial crisis has caused the
smelters to rrlace q pronibitive rate
upon the treatment of GoldHeld ores.
now be it
Resolved, That the mines Of the
GoldtieId district remain closed until
the present fiancial crisis is relieved.
until local labor conditions are
settled to the satisfaction of the
operators of this district, and until
the shelters will treat Goldfield ores
at rate which will warrant the mine
owners of this district to recommence
production. +"
The Goldfeld Chamber of Com
merce has begun war upon the smelter
trust and will carry the war to Wash
ington. The directors met to-day
and appointed a committee to invite
the cooperation of other mining
camps to send committee to Wash
ington to induce the president to in
vestigate the smelter trust with
especial reference to its policy toward
Nevada. Nevada is being boycotted
by the smelter trust, which has
placed such burdensome conditions
on ore shippers that shipments are
practically prohibited. At the same
time the smelters are taking all the
ores of Colorado and other states
where the trust has large mining
interests without any restrictions OF
advance in charges.

Irish Sarcasm.

a happy and humorous example OF
sarcasm as apart from repartee is af-
forded by the following anecdote. L
quote it on the authority of friend,
who, l am afraid, was the villain OF
the incident: A most imperturbable
man was followed from Westmoreland
street, Dublin, over the O'Connell
bridge to the general postoffice by two
little street arabs, who importuned
him for the end of his cigar. Throw
US the butt, sir. All, sir, throw us the
buttr' cried the youths. but as the man
did not betray the slightest conscious
ness of their existence they gave him
up at last in despair and disgust. "Ar-
rah, let him alone" said one, with the
most scorching scorn. "Shure, it's a
butt he's picked up himself
1 once heard a bumptious little man,
who, acting as steward at athletic
sports in Dublin, was very assertive
in keeping back the crowd, thus ad.

Getting Anywhere?

You are rushing, you are straining
-sg1s with grim look on your face
You are turning from all pleasures
80. ~ in your: breast peace has no place /;
You have ceased to find contentment
in the hooks you used to know;
You have ceased to care for others
EzIwhom you chung to long ago;
You are straining, you are striving
through the dark days and the
fair.
Bat, oh, mirthless, eager brother, are
you getting anywhere?
In your haste you have forgotten how
to linger or to smile
When child looks up and greets you
or would claim your care awhile;
Though the wild rose sheds it's petals
in the lonely pasture still,
And glad breezes sway the blossoms
IN the orchard on the hill,
You are too much in a hurry, and to
occupied to care.
But with all your grim endeavors, are
you getting anywhere?
You have fled from sweet content
ment; trouble haunts You in your
dreams:
1t is long since you have loitered on
the banks of shaded streams
That go singing to the peddles they
have made so clean and white
And have polished at their leisure
and their pleasure day and night !;
Yet no longer know the solace that
is in sweet old air,
But with all your eeassless moiling,
are you getting anywhere?
You have given up old fancies, Fyou
have left old friends behind;
Your are getting rich in pocket, but
are poor in heart and mind;
You have lost your sense of beauty in
your haste to push ahead.
And along the ways you travel bitter
ness and grief are spread;
You have ceased to care how others
bend beneath the woes they bear.
But with all your cruel striving, are
you getting anywhere?
Out beyond you there is silence that
no man may ever wake;
In the distance there is darkness that
no mornings light may break;
At the journeys end dishonor is for
those who day by day
Cheat their souls and dull their
senses as they rush upon the way !!
You are passing many pleasures which
you have the right to share,
AS you rush to fill the hollow men
will dig for you somewhere

Happiness From Troubles.

Being human, happily or unhappily,
we cannot deny the comfort to be
found in the reflection that misery
never lacks the company it loves. We
all have our troubles, and some of us
derive much satisfaction from the con-
temptation of them. Indeed, there are
those who are happy only when wretch
ed, but these we believe to be as few
in number as they are disagreeable in
association. The vast majority of hu-
mans are norral and disposed, there
fore, in conformity with natural law,
to smile when the skies are clear and
to grieve under the portent of clouds;
hence the ease with which worry takes
possession of the mind, colors the dis
position and makes cripple of effort.
That causes abound we know and
must admit, as we do almost uncon-
sciously the certainty of death, but
too little cognizance is taken Of the
fact that the effect of mere apprehen-
sion, which is all that worry really is,
may be subjected to simple mental
treatment and be overcome.-George
Harvey in North American Review.

The Coach and Four Came.

Among the many records of Harrow

often tainted him about his family

though hurting his feelings, drew from
the lad the retort. Il intend before 1

years sped by, and, 10 and behold, the
poverty stricken youngster of Harrow

Game Law Fines.

The fines imposed for violations OF
the fish and game laws for the last
six months aggregate $40, 500, of which
amount s5735 was imposed for viola
tions of the fish law and S4964 fol-
violation of the game law. The num-
Der of arrests for violating the game
law is double that for violating the
fish law, but the penalties for the
latter are much larger. The fines
for all attractions of the fish and
game laws during the years 1897 and
1898 aggregated s3l25, or less than
one-third of the amount imposed
during the past six months. The
fish commissioners ascribe the in
crease to the hunting license law,
which has stimulated public interest
in fishing and hunting throughout
California. There are five convic-
tions to one acquittal in all those
cases indicating that public senti-
ment is strongly opposed to violations
of the fish and game laws.
