The Mexican uprising which has been
going on for the last two weeks is ap-
parently drawing to a close. The Gov
ernment has dispatched troops so thick
and fast to the scene of trouble that the
revolutionists have withdrawn to the
mountains and will no doubt Ia short
time disperse. Diaz has been the wisest
and most just president that the Repub-
lie Of Mexico has ever had, and his first
great care has been to guard against up
fisings and to keep sufficient standing
army to promptly put down any sembl-
ance of q revolution. Revolutions have
always been the fashion and curse of all
the South American republics, but Diaz
will have none of it.

Candidates Should Report.

i
Those of the candidates of all political
parties who have not yet complied with
the law in regard to filing statements OF
expenses of the last primary campaign
and election, with the proper officer
| shold not fail to do 30 at once. The
time for filing the statement ends on the
night of the ninth of July, and those
failing to file the statement required be-
fore that time will be liable to a very
severe penalty.
The states attorney has received a
! great many inquiries lately about the
law, and in discussing it this morning
he said: "The law says that all can
didates and treasurers of political COM
mittees that took part in the recent pri-
mary election must file itemized state
ments with the proper officer showing
the amount of expense incurred. The
items must be under such heads as
printing, postage, advertising, dissem-
ination of information, etc.
Zone important provision that the
law makes is that the candidate must
state whether or not he received any
money from a corporation or from the
agent or representative of one. The
statement must bear the notarial seal
and be sworn to. County officers must
file their statement with the clerk of the
courts, and state officers with the secre-
tary of state.
There is this peculiar thing about the
law, that if the expenditures of can
didate is less than 500, it does not say
that he must file statement, but it says
that those whose expenses are over 500
must file statement. The penalty for
neglecting to make the statement of
election expenses is a severe one. 1t is
not less than $50 nor more than $1,000,
and not less than thirty days in Jail, and
not moro than six months. ."-Deadwood

Strike Made IN the Twenty-one Mine.

We are indebted to the courtesy of
Mr.. J. E. Pitcher for copy of the Daily
Morning Union, published in Grass Val
ley and Nevada City, California, which
contains some information relative to
that country. 1t will be of interest to
many of our readers from the fact that
many of our Custer boys are there and
we rejoice in the report that they have
struck it rich. The write-up contains
nearly four columns but we can only
find space for the following:
"Alleghany, the old bonanza camp,
has had another agreeable jolt. Gold
bearing quartz has been struck in the
Twenty-One. That was the news that
spread like wildfre throughout the dis
trict last Monday, and during the day it
was verified by one of the Courtney
boys coming up from the mine with a
hatful of ore that was beieweled with a
bright yellow gold. 1t was placed on
exhibition in Armstrong; store and
since then it has been viewed by many
citizens of the camp as we'll as by many
of the visitors from the outside who are
thronging the mountain camps this sea.
son, either for pleasure or business.
Some of the specimens exhibited carry
gold to the value of So, 900 to SIS, 900 per
ton, but how much there is of it is as yet
an untold quantity, as the development
has not proceeded much further since
the rich quartz was encountered. The
strike was made in the last shot that was
put in just before it was decided to put
in much needed air line for ventila-
tion. The installment was completed
Tuesday and mining was resumed yes
terday.
"The auriferous quartz was struck in
the adit level at point 400 feet in from
daylight. 1t is being run from Kanaka
creek, just below the Chips Flat trail
bridge, into the base of the ridge, right
on the ledge. The tunnel was originally
started many years ago by the original
locators of the mine and then abandon
ed. The outcroppings on the ledge had
been mined by the early day miners for
surface pockets, and according to tradi-
ton, several thousands of dollars recov-
cred with the pan and rocker. A short
time ago lease and bond was obtained
on the Twenty-One by a company of To-
cal people consisting of c. G. Crary, the
Courtney Brothers and Letter Arm
strong. They reopened the old tunnel
and proceeded to drive it further north
along the ledge into the base of the
ridge. This undertaking was regarded
in Allegheny as one of the most import
ant since the strike in the Tightner be-
cause it covered the intervening territory
between the Tightner and the Rainbow.
The Tiehtner is on the ridge on the
north side of Kanaka.

The cost of living according to statist-
les has increased in the last five years
about 20 per cent, while wages remain
about the same in all the usual avoca-
tions of labor. Under circumstances of
this kind we must not be surprised to
hear Of strikes and dissatisfaction all
along the line. 1t is undeniable that at
this time labor is in bad way as the
report comes that there are about 200,-
600 workers idle in the city of New
York and about l00,OO0 in Chicago.
This is deplorable state of affairs, and
something should be done if possible to
rectify the situation. 1t Is stated that
over 500, 900 people returned to Europe
during last month. These were mostly
Italians and could we'll be spared. This
will improve the situation to some ex-
tent.
