'c' Loa Aboeles, Jane 6, The excitement at
' Itavndsburg is again running high over rich finds
I and strikes. In the Alameda Terr rich ore Is
being taken out. A rtece of ore containing two
cublo fcot was recently taken out trhlch coos
9100 to tho ton. Seventy-Are sacks of ore hare
. just been sent to the mill from this mine
.u which were worth QUO to the ton. The mine
7 has lind soveral days' run of ore that was worth
' 9 1,400 per ton. Tho Val Terdc, adjoining the
(,. Alameda, has just paid a monthly dividend of 0
'J per cent. It nan had sorcral rich strikes In tho
,l Inst week. The Kcnyon mlno last Friday took
' out four tons of rock that ran $9,300 per Ion.
J" Tho Wedgo, adjoining tho Kcnyon on the same
( ledgo. Is also taking out oro equally rich. A
single sack of ore from these two mines sold for
? 91,000. Tho pay stroak In tho Kcnyon holds an
i. almost uniform width of three and ono-lialf feet.
It llueh of tho rock will produco a dollar an ounce.

from this nnd. Tho strike In the llolllo was not
eo important.
Cripple Creek Is In very good condition, the
leasing system keeping many properties alive.
The big mines are getting as rich oro as at any
time In their history. The air Is full of talk cf
now mills to meet tho demands of the low grndo
shippers, and in all probability two big mills
will bo sot up during the year, one at Klorenco
and one at Colorado City. Again there Is talk
of a real mine on Mineral Hill, just north of

In tho draw at tho head of tho Tike's I'cak
placers and a drift connects them. An oro body
seventy fcot in length and two to threo feet
wldo has been opened up and thirty tons of oro
extracted of an estimated value of $30.
Crcede camp has been shipping heavily for
somo months from its fow big producers. Thero
hns been a dispute between the Amethyst and
the Commodoro companies oi cr Intervening ter

vcr) rich gold ledge, samples showing barnacles
on tho surface nnd free gold in tho fractures.
Tho ledgo extends to and beneath salt water
and is very accessible to boats.
On Juno 2 an important strlko was made in

trade Is opening up with tbo mainland.
Tho Centre Star, one of the largest mines In
Trail Crock, still continues developing its won
derful bodies of ore. A cross cut has been run
through the ore ihute nenr the west end of tho
main tunnel, oxposlng n width of 75 feet of
solid, clean ore, with the walls still to be found.
This Is the largest deposit discovered in the dis
trict, and It assays from 950 to 9140 in copper
and gold. The low grade oro assays 920 in the
same metals.
The excitement over new prospects nnd dis

LAKE 61TK1UOIC
Neoaunkr, Mich.. June 11. An expert dia
mond drill runner of this place. Mr. George 11.
Mitchell, has been asked to take cbnrge of an
Important piece of work at Silver Islet. Just
north of IhIo Itoyalc, and w 111 probably go there
to begin tho Job In a short time. In the early
sixties tho most pro II table silver mlno In tbe
world, with the exception of tho big minus
of the Comstock lode, wus on 8llver Islet, a
mero reof of rock, only a few acres In ex
tent, lying not far north of Isle Hoyale, In
Canadian tcrritor). Only a small force of
miners was employed, and efforts were made to
keep the richness of the mine secret: but such
news could not be supprossod, and it soon be
came known thnt tbo ownersoftbo Silver Islet
were operating the richest sllier mine over
opened. The precious metal was not in tboform
of nil oro, but was found in virgin state. The
whilo metal was abundantly bestowed through
tbo narrow vein which carried it.
Iho mine was operated only a few years, and
In a primitive manner, but millions of dollars
wrro secured In that time, and the actual ex
penses of the mine ns compared with tho reve
nues vvero trivial. Tbo ownors wore all made
wealthy, but In an unlucky moment the mlno
was swallowed by the waters. The amygdaio)d
vein carrying the silver in such profusion un
derlaid tho bed of tho lake, nnn ucarolcss blast
by tho miners broko the thin wall separating tbe
workings from tho waters, nnd the openings
were so speedily flooded that Ibo minors barely
escaped with their lives, Tho Island was so
small that all attempts to reupin tho mlno wcro
fruitless, nnd it wnsnlmudoned. If the expedi
tion under Mr, Mitchell pioies successful, the
Sllier Islet mlno will again )leld largely,

Salt Lake City, Juno 7, On Wednesday last
James W. Linm II, Prosldenl of the Dexter Com
pnnyof this city, with several tiuplo)ces of thu

ing about H-25,000 In gold bam und cyanides
from the compun)'s plant nt Tustaroru. Nov.
Tho thefts havo been s)tcmatlc and very clev
erly managed. The distance of tho mines und
Elant from the tomp-iny'i base of operations
era aided tho thieves. Hrgiilar shipments of
gold bars nnd cyanides are mode by tho com
pany to this city, and Linnell, who nuns about a
quarter of the capital nto.'k, had chargo of these
shipments at thoTuscaroru end.
At tho Herman I a smelters, south of this city,
a guld cyauldo reduction plant Is to be added at
once. Tho cyanide producers now send their
product East and even to Germany fur reduction.
The Grand Central, In the Tlnflo district, has
joined tho producers. A twenty-ton shipment
of gold quart, carrying live ounces in gold and
a small percentage of silver, is now on the mar
ket. This oro emtio from the 700-foot level, and
is the tlrst produced by the mine.
Owing to the low price of sill or and lend, the
Dah W est, at Park City, has discontinued ore
production.
The second clean-up at tho new N'orthorn Light
mill was very satufactory. The cyanidos con
tained over 17,000 ounces of silver to tbo ton

WabiiinqtoN, Juno 13. Speaker Rood and
Representative Hcnch.ndi ocalos of the plan to re
form tho seating arrangements of tho hall of tho
IIouso of Representatives, have Interested our
Consuls-General at tho various European capi
tals, and tho latter nro furnishing them descrip
tions of tho several parliamentary chambers.
Tho Speaker's belief Is that wcro tho Individual
dusks removed from tho hall and benches
substituted Ibo business of tho IIouso
would bo transacted tnoro expeditiously, or with
much greater satisfaction than at present.
Members would bo gathered together In a
smaller area, and debato would proceed In a
moro orderly and dignified manner. Tho propo
sition has been discussed as if It w cro something
now, and noror tried In tbo American IIouso of
Representatives. But It Is not new oven there.
When In tho Thlrty-Ilf th Congress tho IIouso
of Representatives abandoned Its old quarters In
tho present Statunry Hall and occupied the new
ball, it was proi ided with handsomo oak desks
and chairs, which had been procured at an ex
penso of $100 for each of tho 230 members then
constituting tho House. Hut they did not sat
isfy completely. On Dec 23, 185B, William
Porchcr Miles, a Representative from South
Carolina, offered a resolution providing
for tho appointment of a spoclal com
mittee " lo consider and report on tho
expediency of removing the present desks
from the hall, and making such arrangements
of the Beats of momhors as will bring them
together In a smaller space for tho greater facil
ity of hearing nnd moro orderly debato." This
resolution was agreed to, 73 to 55. Tho debate
on Its passago showed tho famous Washburno
family divided as to Its merits. Washburno of
Mnlno hoping that It would pass, and Wash
burno of Illinois moving to lay it on the table.
Tho special commltteo was made to consist
of Miles, Letchor, Washburno of Maine. Gcorgo
II. Pendleton, nnd Morris. It was not until tho
last day of the session, March 3, 1830, thnt
Chairman Miles was permitted to present tho
committee's roport. The report wus accom
panied by a resolution ordering tho desks and
chairs to bo removed and benches substituted
therefor. It was vigorously opposed, Mr. Clay
wanting to know what would 1m dona with tho
discarded furniture I Mr. Woshburne of Maine
replied that It would bo retained, so that If the
experiment was not a success, the desks nnd
chairs could be again used. Tho resolution was
adopted by a vote of 103 to 73.
It Is Interesting to observe hovr almost pre
cisely similar nro tho arguments advanced to
day for tho change and thoso by which the com
mltteo supported the conclusions they had
reached. They said:
"Tho removal of tho desks and bringing tho
members together into a moro compact area is
not only expedient and desirable, butwould, if ef
fected, bo In Itself a most Important step toward
many legislative reforms. It would
certainly seem as if the very first duty of a Rep
resentative in Congress w as not simply to attend
bodily lu his place, but to listen to, understand,
and, when occasion requires It, participate In
tho discussion and proceedings of the body
of which he is a member. There can be
little doubt that if there were no desks in the
I hall a very decided Improvement would take
place in the character of Congressional speeches.
When honorable members can makii themsolvcs
heard without screaming themselves hoarse,
and hope to catch the Speaker's eye nnd ob
tain the floor without scrambling for It, with tbo
noise and rociferution of school bo)s scrambling
for an applo, we may then expect to have quiet,
decorous, and orderly debates, and real, legiti
mate discussion of tho subject matter pending
before us, Instead of interminable discissions,
tie ouud libet rnte, addressed In point of fact to
different constituencies, and not intended for

A Kartls Carolina Reaablloaa Censretsauui
TTha Believes Its Pays Are Rambered,
WAsntrtaTOM, June 13. Representative Rom
ulus Z. Linncy, ono ot tho few Republicans who
ha been able to break into Congress from North
Carolina, Is decidedly against tho Civil Sorvlco
law, In every sonso of the word, and Is willing
that all tho world shonld know It. Although
Mr. Linncy was born and has lived all his life In
Korth Carolina and served In tho Confederate
army until compollcd to retlro on account of
severo wounds, he Is as enthuslastlo and devoted
a Republican as can bo found In any Northern
State, Mr. Llnney has recently boon spending
somo of his sparo tlmo between tho seml-wcckly
sessions of tho IIouso In reading tho debates In
the Scnsto nnd IIouso when the Civil Service
law was being discussed and passod, back In
1883. Ho was strongly convinced beforo that
the law, as extended from tlmo to tlmo and ns
now enforced, Is a snnro ami a delusion, and he
is still moro Impressed with that opinion now
In fact, he Is convinced that tbo law should bo
wiped off from tho statute books, and fully be
lieves It will bs at no distant date.
" Whon the law first went into effect," said
Mr. Llnney, "the peoulo had moro or less faith
In it and bellorcd it might be a good thing nnd
possibly benefit the public service, and for n
time neither of tho great political parties darod
to oppose It, oither in public or private. Now
tho scone has changed. Tho hypocritical, un
warranted, wholcsalo eleventh-hour extensions
of the system by Mr. Clevoland, so ns to includo
day laborers oven, has raised up opponents
to tho law by the million in ciery
portion of tho country. From tho few
meek cloak-room oppononts of the sys
tem has grown up n largo and rcspcctablo
number of Senators and Representatives, who
are now bravo enough and earnest enough to
boldly and publicly speak In the halls of Con
gress against tho entire system, and when the
opportunity comes, ns come It will, back up thoir
opinions by their votes. I bellero tho days of
civil service reform, as at present construed and
enforced, aro numbered, and that the part) that
llrst advocates the complete and entire repeal nt
the present law s by a bold and plain declaration
to that effect in its platform is tho party that
will win in the next election.
"The voters of tho country are heartily tired
of the farce, for such It is, and nothing more.
Take Ohio, for Instance, as an illustration. I am
thoroughly convinced that If Senator Hannn
goes home nnd secures the Insertion in the He
publican platform of n plank favoring the sys
tem, ns It is reported he will do, the Democrats
w ill carry the State next fall by nt least 50,000.
Strong ltepublican as I am, I hope tho party will
go down to defeat if it makes the mistake of In
dorsing or helping to perpetual tho present
style of civ il sorvico reform, which hns done any
thing but reform tho civil service. Thero is no
authority in tho Constitution for Hfe-tenuro
offices, except for tho Fcdernl Judges, yet the
cli II sen Ice law makes its eomuiissioners eligi
ble to hold their offices indefinitely, nt the pleas
ure of the President, which may mcun as much
of it life tenure as tho judges now enjoy. If the
Presidents so will,"

Matawan to Get Rerenge Malawan Colored
Men Var In Ambush TThlte Men Itelnroreed.
Matawan, N. J June 13. A crowd of young
men from Keyport was noticed In tow n early
last evening, and several of them were heard to
boast that a number ot Matawan colored men
would belaid low beforo tho crowd returned to
Keyport. A fight had occurred at Keyport a
few days before, bctwoen two Matawnn colored
men and two Keyport white men. Tho colored
men whipped tho Keyportcrs. Threats wero
mado at tho tlmo by soveral Koyportors that
cvory colored man In Matawan would havo to
suffer for whnt the two had done. Accordingly,
a row was started at 11 o'clock last night, near
the front doorway of tho Old Homestead Hotel,
at tho foot of Main street, hero.
Prlmas Washington, a colored employco of
Frank A. Poling, tho proprietor of the hotel,
was stnndtng Just Instdo tho doorway when the
crowd of Keyportors, numborlng eighteen, it is
said, advanced toward him. Somo ono said,
"There stands ono of thoso black coons," and
with thnt ono of tho crowd hit Washington In
tho faco, while another pulled him from tho
doorway nnd out Into tho st rcot, The Keyport
ers ivtro armed with rovolicrs, clubs, nnd brick
bats, and Washington was clubbed almost Into
Insensibility before ho was released. Tho Koy
portors then ndvanccd toward the Central Rail
road depot, whero two colorod men were
recognized as tho men wbo had won
in tho flght at Keyport. Thoy woro
Albert 11 ard and JrfTcrson Drown. Tho mob
rushed upon them with clubs. Tho colored men
drew razors. A man nnmed Hill, from Keyport,
wns slashed about tho faco and head. Then tbo
mob fell backn llttlo toward tho doom of tho
Aberdeen Inn, n short distance away. Tho col
ored men. seeing a wny of escape, rusbed
through tbo door of tho hotel nnd up the stairs.
Tho crowd did not dnro pursue the men within
the building, and many believe thnt this movo
on tho pari of tho colorod men was all that
saved their Hies from tho fury of tho angry
crowd.
The Keyportors then drew away from the
hotel and held it council ot war near tho railroad
trackn short distance nw-ay. In the moan tlmo
tho colored men In the neighborhood got together
and armed thcmselios with clubs and rators.
Thoy withdrew Into nmbush nlong the road be
tween tho railroad and tho only available route
to Keyport. Tho Keyport crowd In tbe mean
time hud been nursing their wounded compan
ion, who had licen carried into the general etoro
of U I). Le Ho). When they camo out thcy
sormed to h.110 had enough fight, nnd had
ei Idently concluded to leavo town. They
wero told, however, that tho colored men
wero wnltlng for them along the road to Kcy-
Sprt. Ou hearing this they sent a messenger to
.cyport. which Is less than two miles away, for
reinforcements. It was only about nn hour
Inter that the men who wcro waiting nt the
depot for reinforcements heard n welcome shout
from the direction of Keyport, and a crowd, it Is
said, of Aft) men wero soon seen advancing
along tbo road. These men woro armod with
clubs, brickbats, nnd revolvers. Tho llttlo
colored force of about fifteen men, finding them
selvcs so largely outnumbered, ran for their
lives and hid themselves In tho woods a halt
mile away.
The Kc) porters triumphantly returned home
about 2 0 clock this morning, saying as they
went that they would soon tako another hack at
Mutawan's lolored population. Thero was no
police interference, nnd no nrrcsts were made.
Prlmas Washington, who was attacked by the
mob at the Old Homestead Hotel, said this morn
ing: "I don't know any reason why the men should
have treated mo as they did. I never hod any
trouble with the Keyport Iwys before. Yes. they
did nearly kill me. One fdlow struck me first
with his (1st, and another hit me with a club,
while several others hit me with brickbats. Some
one of the crowd tired n pistol at me, and tbe
bullet w hlzzed past my ear.

If tho Wllllamsbure ferry had stayed whero It
belonged John Hurko of Williamsburg would
have been all right. Hut It shifted somo tlmo on
Saturday night at least Mr. Hurko says It
shitted and is willing ta swear to It-so that
when he proceeded lo tho placo where tho ferry
house should havo bocn about midnight ho
walked right off the end of n good solid roadwny
into thin nothingness and subsequently landed
In tho river. There he found It quite cold nnd
wet, so ho yelled for help.
In the course ot time his shouts wcro heard by
tho watchman on tho Clydo lino pier, noar tho
foot of Roosevelt street, who spent a fruitless
ten mlnutos trying to locato tho source thereof.
At the end of that tlmo, becoming qulto nervous,
tho watchman set olT down Front stroct nt o
brisk run, and three policemen chased him. Two
raorehoaded him oft and tho five, with their
prisoner, were holt wny to tho station houso
before the watchmen succeeded In making thom
understand that ho was not a despornto crimi
nal and that there was a man In tho river who
needed help.
" Why didn't you say so before, you BtufI I"
said tho five policemen with sweot reasonable
ness, having cut short nil previous efforts with
curt biddings to "shuttup."
Dytbls tlmo the larynx of Jobn Burke was
growing weary, Tho best he could do was a sub
dued whoop once a minute or thereabouts. For
tunatoly, ono of thoso whoops was heard by tho
policemen and their c.iptlvo skirting tho rlt er.
"Thero he is," said tho watchman triumph
antly, Tho flvo cops let go of tho watchman and
peered down Into the darkness.
"Anybody down there I ' nsked one of them.
"Only one," said John Hurko composedly.
" What aro you doing there I"
"Hangin" on. What 'd jou do If jou was
here t"
" Walt a mlnuto and we 11 get ) ou out.
"Oh, I'll wait oil right. Been wallln half an
hour already." ,
Near by was a pllo of barrel staves. To two of
tbeso. reached don 11, John Burke attached him
self and was hauled out.
" Q lad you como along," ho observed. "Iwas
gcttln' tired of lonfln round doln' nothln'.
Wouldn't 'a made so much fuse, only 1 was
scared the fcrrvbo.it 'd como In on swash me.
Must bo about due."
" Ferryboat don't como In here, you fool, said
tho watchman. "Where d'you think you aro,

' Iloosev olt street slip, of course.
" Well you ain't. That's u block further down.
This Is Dover street."
"Then by gee," lild John Durko thoughtfully,
"she s shifted back again."
"You come along to tho station house." said
one of the policemen. " You can tell tho Ser
geant nil about 1U"
"What fori" usked tho wet one. "I aln t
jsgged. I'm Just chilled. That's all that's tho
matter with me. an' I got a little dislocated in
