A SAVED REMNANT OF THE
 SPoILs SYSTEM

The first battle of the present session over the spells of office has been fought, and the friends of the merit system of appointment have lost Over 5000 clerks will have to be provided for the work of handling the next decennial census. The census bill, as it now stands, allows the appointment of these em- ployees after non-competitive examin- ation. What that means was lucidly explained by MT. Gillett during the de- bate on his amendment, which was de feated making the examinations com petitive instead of non-competitive. It means that the director of the census will be compelled to appoint the nom inees of senators and representatives in congress, and that these appointees can not be removed for ineficiency. Mir. Gillett affirmed, and it was not denied, that all congressman, democrats and re- publicans alike, are to share equally in the disposition of these appointments Ten years ago republican had more appointments allotted to him than a democrat, but now the lion and the lamb have consented to an equitable division of patronage-a circumstance which suggests to MT. Gillett happy revision of the maxim ITO the victors belong the spoils," so as to read gro congress belong the spoils.''
 In thus reserving the patronage of the census bureau for members of con gross, according to the good old plan, that body has not only ignored the rec ommendation of the president, which was to have been expected, but it also rejected the advice of the director of the census, MT. North, who urged in his annual report that he be relieved of the overwhelming pressure to obtain clerk ships, (which has heretofore proved the most vexatious and difficult task con- nected with the decennial work, occupy ing during the first year and half the time and thought of the director that ought to be wholly given to the enor- nous and difficult work for which he is responsible.
 MT. North declares that non-com- petitive examination means that per sonal and political pressure will deter mine the appointments, and that the system of obtaining employees by com petitive examination would make for in creased eficiency and reduction of the cost of the census.
 And this opinion of the director, based on his experience in the bureau,

A PERFECT FIGURE.

''Maude odell, the English
 beauty, has perfect figure. "-
 Scranton Tribune.
 Indeed! Important, if true! But what is ''perfect fgure9" Is it tall or short, large or slight, modelled on straight lines, or fashioned in curves?
 Tastes will differ, we apprehend. Points of view will control individual opinion. The Venus de Milo may be a fine example of the perfect figure, but the styles of this day and time do not bear out the assumption. To those who revel in beauty au naturei, as it were, this Grecian specimen is the exempli- fication of an ultimate type not to be questioned It may be that this is the only true attitude from which we should view the problem. Certainly, the Venus cited is apparently satisfactory enough from a physiological standpoint, if not from the arbitrary standpoint of the fashion -fxers.
 Beauty, as has been observed, is in the eye. of the beholder; very, very much in that eye, we think. If it were not so, we should be in bad way for an equitable adjustment of things in this world. Cleopatra appealed to An tony, and many of his esteemed con temporaries wondered at his taste, no doubt. Elizabeth attracted the eyt of Raleigh, Anne Bolsyn the amorous glances of "Bluff King Hal," and Louise de la Valerie upset the young emotions of the great Louis of France; but it does not follow that any of th'se women would have been rated beaIIti- fully by plain, everyday John Smith, whose concerted and syndicated opiaion is the final verdict always.
 As beauty is only skin deep, so are types but things of the moment. Helen of Troy was blond or brunette-nobtdy knows which. Therefore, every man conceives Helen to have been creature after his own ideals or lovelintss. Whether her locks reflected the scin.il- lating rays of the monday sun or the midnight darkness of the ravens wing is not important. She is universally conceded to have been woman of sr- passing physical attractiveness. more es- pecially because she may be made to fit any given mental status than other wise..
 Says Edward Young, in,"The Lave of Fame":
 Whats femal beauty, but an air
 divine,
 Through which the minds all-gentle
 glances shine7
 They, like the sun, irradiate all be-
 tween;
 The body charms, because the soul is seen.
 Hence men are often captives of face, They know not why, of no peculiar grace.
 Some forms, though bright, no mortal
 man can bear;
 Some none resist, though not exceeding
 fair

LYNX CREEK HYDRAULICS
PASS TO NEW COMPANY
Include Nine Thousand Acres of Ari-
iona Placer Ground on Lynx
Creek-Means New De-
VeIopment Work

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Feb. 2.-After sew
eral weeks negotiations title to the
Lynx Creek Hydraulics" passed under
bond yesterday from the t. G. Barlow
Massicks estate to the Hydraulic Gold
Mining company. An order for new
placer mining machinery, with ca
pacity of 1000 yards day, was also
placed with an eastern manufacturing
concern under rush orders, and the d.
rectors of the company are confident
that the new machinery will be In
stalled and in operation in ninety days.
Under the management of w. e. Ped
ley, general manager of the Lynx Creek
Gold and Land company. the property
is reputed to have produced over $4,000
900 in placer gold. 1t was then worked
by the hydraulic system. Operations
ceased after the dam, which impounded
the waters two miles farther up the
creek, was destroyed by floods Pedley
was a heavy stakeholder in the con-
Germ. He died in the early 90s, while
plans for the rebuilding of the dam
were under consideration, and the prop
erty has never been operated since, ex-
cept in a small way by placer miners
who worked small patches under lease.
After the death of Pedley the property
passed into the control of T. G. Bar
low Massicks, who, after making many
substantial improvements, died before
the consummated plans for the resump-
ton of work The property has since
been in charge Of Rev. Alfred Quetu of
this city as administrator of the Mas
sicks estate.
The properties. transferred yesterday
include 5000 acres OF placer ground on
Lynx creek, covering the bed OF the
creek a distance of two miles. and the
right to the use Of all the water flow of
the creek.

EIGHT THOUSAND IS
ONE MILLS OUTPUT
EsmeraIda County Mill That Is Treat
ing the Ores of the PIttsburg-
Silver Pick Cyanide
Plant

GOLDFIELD, New, Feb. 2.--The big
stamp mill at Blair that is treating
ores from Pittsburg- Silver Peak and
which is said to be the most modern
reduction plant in the world, is now
dropping 60 stamps of the 100, and
the other 40 will be in operation soon.
The ore that is being run through at
present is from the dumps, and aver
ages about $40 on the plates, with a
saving by amalgamation of better than
rs per cent of the assay value of the
ore. The cyanide plant is not yet ready
for work, but the shines are being
saved 1t is estimated that there is
fully $4,000 tons of ore on the different
dumps, and half that quantity Is
broken down in the different levels and
slopes. When the 100 stamps are run
ming the mill will net $4,000 day.
M. L. Effinger, managing director of
the company, who was here recently,
said in regard to the mine: 1.-THE re-
ports of our engineers is that there is
100000 tons of pay ore in sight. At
the present time we are working 200
men. In the bottom of the 1200-foot
level an ore shoot twelve feet wide has
been proved up in the sulphides for a
distance of 200 feet, and the average
of the ore is $41.60. This is exclusive
of high grade streak that runs along
the walls that runs at the rate of $3.50
ton. This is the best ore that has
been found in the mine for many a
year."

of the number of times I've walked
over this ground and passed that stuff
by"
At directors meeting held in the
rooms of the local banking corpora
ton during the week it was decided to
purchase $4,000 worth of additional
pipe to complete the Jefferson canyon
system OF conduits. This pipe will be
twelve and fifteen-inch spiral.
A system of pipes will also be in
stalled around the mountain so as to
carry the water to all parts of the
placer ground now under lease to the
Hydraulic company. The heaviest
flush of water during the year is ex-
pected to be during the months of
March to July, inclusive, at which
time 1t is proposed to install and keep
at work three giants
A big order of lumber is now on the
road which will be used in the con-
struction of the big fiume. This hume
will carry away all the water and de-
pris which the combined energy of the
three giants will be able to wash
down.
The winter season has very material
ly delayed the progress of hydraulic
mining, hut the gold is still in the
ground, and when placer mining
weather" comes everything will be in
readiness to tackle the job of extract
ing the gold on a tremendous scale.
