MINING NOTES.

Valparaiso. This mine, situated n
Murphy's gulch, and adjoining the
Mammoth on the north, is being oper-
ated steadily, by h. A. Garibaldi and
four partners. The outlook is very
encouraging, and the owners are pro-
ceeding to put the property in shape
to work to much better advantage
than heretofore. The value is prin-
cipally found in small seams OF black
metal, carrying heavy percentage in
gold. This character of ore is not
free milling. 1t has to be subject to a
roasting process. A shaft from the
tunnel level is down 10 feet, and they
are preparing to sink another shaft at
distance of rs feet from the present
one. So far they have hoisted rock
by the laborious windlass process, but
they are now putting up horse
whim, with which hosting will here
after be done. This hoist is expected
to be finished and started by the
end of this week. A mule will be the
motive power. The one stamp mill,
used for testing purposes at the Anna
dor Gold mine, has also been pur
chased, and will be used to crush the
lower grade of the ore after sitting
out the black metal rock. The
owners are we'll pleased with the pros
poets, as evidenced by these sub
stantial additions. They have made
fairly good wages from the start.
The exploration work has extended
on the south to within about 200 feet
of the Mammoth ground, and it is be-
lieved the rich ore seam will increase
in value as it approaches this pro-
perry.
fremont. Repairing the shaft is
progressing at a rapid gait. At the
beginning of this week they were
down to the GOO level, and advancing
at the rate of 10 feet per day. At
this rate, they will reach the 800 foot
level about the end of next week.
That is the point where the shaft is
choked from the debris of the fire,
and where several hundred feet of
cave occurs, in which the bodies of
the eleven miners are believed to be
entombed. The stations that have
been passed In the process of fixing
The shaft will require considerable
work to place them in good shape,
but all this has been left in the
anxiety to reach the point where the
dead bodies can be recovered. Any
way they are making better progress
than was anticipated, and probably the
damage to the mine has been over
rather than under estimated.
Bunker Hill. This mine continues
to pay out to its stockholders the
regular dividend of three cents per
share, amounting to $1,000 per month.
The new hosting works which were
started last spring have been COM
pleted, and have beer running for
two weeks. They run like a charm,
and are satisfactory in every way.
A report has been current that the
affairs of the Wildman are to be

Therefore, to get through with

only require the pupils to hand in their

MIR. COPELAND RESIGNS.

Mr.. Walter Scott Copeland, who IN
1886 accepted position as editorial
writer on The esDispatch, and
shortly thereafter became the chief
editorial writer of this paper, has re-
signed to accept a position on the edi-
torja, staff of the News Leader. The
Times Dispatch is glad to take this
occasion to testify its appreciation of
the faithful and earnest service rem
dered by Mr.. Copeland during the entire
ner;od of his connection with this
paper.
Conservation, If SO serious word
may be used, to the social welfare
resolve never to use the power of an
editorial for any base or selfish pur-
nose. an intuitive perception of those
.onics upon which the public desires
and ought to desire discussion-these
are the determining characteristics OF
the real editorial writer; and these MI.
COPELAND possessed from the begin
ming and exemplifed.
In the past twelve years the most
far-reaching political changes have
come about in Virginia. The negro
has been disfranchised; the menace of
black Republican domination has been
dennitely removed free silver as
financial principle has wholly and en-
tirely collapsed, honest elections have
been established, and education has
been stimulated by an unparalleled
renaissance. So much for the politica
side of the State.
In material wealth. as evidenced BY
bank deposits, bank clearinSs, ASSESSED
values. new buildings, wider diffu'
sion of all the conveniences of civiliza-
ton. the progress of Virginia has beer
no less extraordinary. In all these
multitudinous activities, and in the
contamination of so many beneticen'
achievements, The Dispatch has
both assisted and reioiced; and now
that Mr. Copeland is about to leave, we
are glad to accord to him this public
recognition OF the part he played in al
these matters. We wish for him that hi
labors may contribute toward bringing
about equally great accomplishments II
the next twelve years for the moral

tion which he has given Is apt ana

never sec the force OF It, Prohibi-
tionists of that type never see but one
side OF the question. They do not be-
liovo that there is but one side, and IL
by any chance they should get a
glimpse of the other side they would
regard it as an optical illusion.
They believe that the devil makes
all the liquor; that hell is liquor on
fire; that dvery drop of distilled liquor
is drop of distilled deviltry; that the
man who drinks drop OF 1t commits
a sin: that the man who drinks glass
of 1T commits crime, and that the
man who takes a drink every day is fit
for treason. stratagem and spells, and
in the highest degree an undesirable
citizen. Some time ago Cardinal Glib

Church, has been heard from. He

nal Busch gave out an interview in
Kansas City. in which he announced
his conversion to local option. lie still
holds, with some timidity, however, 1t
seems, to the doctrine of high license
in the larger cities.
The Hon. John P. st. John, our
peerless leader OF a quarter of CEN
fury ago. once said in a speech in my
hearing that the advocacy of the u
quor traffic was always bottomed on
either ignorance, avarice or appetite.
In the case of men like Gibbons,
1t cannot be ignorance, though 1t may
be appetite instead of avarice. Indeed,
It may be both avarice and appetite.

the facts will warrant in dealing with
these beer and whiskey preachers.
But when n man announces such
views as Gibbons announces he ought
10 exchange his surplice for a white
apron, his prayer book for an tcepick,
and go to keeping bar"
We have no quarrel with the ortho-
dox prohibitionist. He does not mean
to be personally offensive. He is per-
fectly sincere in what he says. He
sees a vision. in which the rum devil
is always roaming around, seeking
whom he may plunge into drunkard's
grave. He is a crusader. and pursues
the rum devil as st. George pursued
the dragon, or as Saul of Tarsus pur-
sued the Christians, with the coll
seriousness that he is doing good SER
vice.
We mean no disrespect in making
these comments. We esteem any ear
nest man who labors zealously In a
cause which he believes to be right.
Our only concern for the prohibitionist
is that his zeal is SO often without
knowledge that he Injuries the cause
which he would promote, and which
The Times-Dispatch would promote,
viz, the cause of true temperance.

EcCENTRICITIEs OF THE NAVAL
INQUIRY.

Concerning the charges that our
battleships are not built upon the most
advantageous plan, there appears to
be q good deal which the Senate Naval
Committee, intrusted with the inves-
tigation of these charges, does not care
to hear. From a report of the proceed
ings n day or two ago, the Brooklyn
Eagle quotes the following colloquy:

quired Mr.. Tillman. Did you look the
matter up yourself or Is it hearsay?"

mander Key. 1T is important that the
committee hear me-"
The committee cannot hear you
now" interposed Chairman Hale.
And this from another point in the
inquiry:
Commander Key protested against
the action OF the committee in allow
ing RearAdmiral Capps, chief con-
structor, to be present and cross-eN-
anime witnesses and then deny to othe:
witnesses the privilege of reviewing

Senator Hale and Admiral Caps, Il
will be remembered, adopted the same
attitude toward Commander Sims las
week. Sims remarked when he left tht
stand that he had not been given til,
chance to say half what he wanted
to-" AS he is a qualified expert, pre-
sumably having the good of the ser
