MINING NOTES.
In Charge of Aruonaut.

s. X. Rainsford, who is vice presi-
dent Of the Argonaut mine, arrived
here Sunday evening from Salt Lake
City. lie came here in the interest
of the Eastern people, who hold the
control of the property. He will
practically be the superintendent OF
the mine, being a mining engineer
with considerable experience. No
changes have been made in the work
ing force of the mine or in the man
agement, W. f.. Detert still continuing
as president. Mr. Matthews, holder
of most of the stock of the Argonaut,
IS expected here shortly. But for a
long prolonged siege of sickness he
would have been here before now.
Kennedy This big mine is moving
along in the even tenor of It's way.
The tramway that has been constr uct
ed from the railroad depot to the
mine, although completed some time
ago, has not been used yet with mule
power. A load or two has been run
over it, just for testing purposes by
man power, which proved it to be in
good working trim. 1t will no doubt
soon be equipped for doing all the
transportation between the station
and the mine. Drifting for the ledge
at the $3.50 level is progressing salts
factorlly.
At the copper mine owned by W.
F.. Detort near the Costumes river,
things are getting quite lively. We
understand that between twenty and
thirty men are employed at the mine,
and another crew of about 20 have
been put to work digging a ditch to
bring water from the river to the
works. This ditch will be several
miles in length, and is expected to
take some months to construct 1t
begins to look as If the prospecting
operations which have been carried
on for years on this property will
result in the development of a pay
ing mine,

The Suffer Creek Bank.

Last Thursday afternoon a large
humble of the depositors of the
Suffer Creek State Bank met Tin
Sutter Creek to discuss the best plans
to be followed in regard to the re-
haEilitation of the bank. The meet
ing was called to order by G.. Ii. Nc
Kinney, chairman of the committee
appointed by the depositors, to look
This committee showed the depositors
where most of the securities held by
the bank were of value, and that the
income from the bonds and the rental
OF its real estate would pay the rum
ing expenses of the bank should they
decide to take over the institution.
Acting upon their report the deposit
ors unanimously decided that they
would assess themselves sufficiently
IN the event that Dennis, president of
the bank could not raise the required
amount, to put the business upon a
firm footing, and that they would run
it in the future in their interests. 1t
will require about five or six thou
sand dollars to bring up the reserve
to the percentage set by law. The
amount of money on deposit at the
time that the bank was closed by the
state bank commissioned was about
SIG, 900, and of this amount S73, 600
have been signed up by the com
mittee to withhold the drawing of
their money as soon as the bank
opened, should such be the case. Of
the entire amount on deposit this is
over 81 per cent, a very good showing
for the committee.

THE ORACLE OF PATRIOTISM

OuI uiBu uluueu COJempOraTy, 6ne
Dispatch, in speaking Of the city
election last week, has the following
to say:
''ln spite of the grossly unAmerican
efforts of K. Webb and his self-styled
most influential paper in the county
to keep the city voters from exercis-
ing their rights as American citizens,
the vote polled at the city election
Monday was unusually large-the
tota of 3l7 being 60 votes in excess
of that at the previous election. So
much for the influence of the Ledger
when it advocates such anarchistic
principles as are calculated to keep
him and the rest of the gang over
throw the city government. Such
principles, while advocated on a
smaller scale would seem to place our
local contemporary among the class of
publication of which the Appeal to
Reason was one"
ing body becomes SO blind to the
rights of electors those to whom they
owe their brief spell Of power-as to
force them to attempt to remain away
from the polls in order to secure
their rights. Usually in this land,
citizens appeal to the ballot box to
nj Rt1f hA ~,
placed the signers OF a majority petit
ton in the opposite dilemma. For
this situation not the petitioners, but
those who turned the petition down,
are wholly responsible. And it was
no matter of principle that brought
out the large vote. Ii was solely due
to the contests for marshal and clerk.
In fact there was no question of
governmental principle involved,
other than that commended for by
those who Intentionally declined to
vote. In all other respects, it was
purely a matter of who should hold
the Offices.
porary become the apostle of high
minded loyalty What claim does he
hold by virtue of his past record, to
pirate about the responsibilities of
citizenship. When he is candidate
for reelection as trustee, without an
opposing candidate, it is disloyalty
for one to neglect to vote when an
issue of such tremendous Importance
is to lee decided. When the United
States government was involved In an
unparalleled struggle for national
unity, his views OF patriotism were
somewhat lax We have before us a
copy of the Dispatch dated Novem Der
IA, 1868. w. NJ. Penny was the editor
and publisher then as now Grant,
the soldier who had been largely in
stIumental in saving the Union from
disruption, had just been elected
president for his first term. The Dis
patch in commenting upon the result
says:
"You have the government, have
you? Well, you can take it-or what
there Is left of it-and go to the devil
with it. We don't own a dollars
worth of stock in the id concern,
anyhow. The little remnant that has
been left of that once glorious struc-
ture for the last eight years has hard
ly been worth the effort that has been
made to save it; and now, since the
last fragment of the great wreck has
been consumed by the destructive
flames of radicalism. we can only say
that the additional loss to the people
has been but small item in COM
