Calico Solid for tbe Democratic Party, From Cleveland and Hen dricks to Del Valle, Editor Herald; It seems that the Los Augeles Time*, aud also the pro phetic editor of the San Bcruardiuo Black Republican Index, are consider ably exercised over "Prospectors' re ports concerning the political outlook of this portion of the couuty, so I will give them another dose thut will not serve as an anodyne to quiet their nervous system, as well as -to give the readers of the Herald, the workingmeu aud miners of the country some of the reasons why the miners of Calico and vicinity will not support Mr. Markham for Congress. In tho first place a large majority of the minors aro staunch and true Democrats, and are dissatisfied with the nominations of the party, State, Na tional and County, and are uot disposed to be misled hy Republican slander or corruption taffy, nor washed by mo nopoly acap. Miners as a general thing act aud voto as tbey think best fur the welfare of the country aud themselves. In the second place they know it to be au indisputable fact that the King mine, under the rule of right niiuded, but poor Democrats was paying wages, whilst opening and developing the said mine, at the rate of $4.00 per day. Ami they have also not forgotten that wheu a rich Milwaukee Republican corpora tion witb Colonel H. If. Markham as the Grand Sachem succeeded to the con trol of thu mine, that Markham himself was the man first to reduce miners wages. That ho wanted to reduce them to $3.00 per day is a fact that can be proven; but failing in this miserable and penurious action. When informed by Mr. Samuel James, the foreman of the mine, that no men could be employed at those rates, Mr. Markham, acting for his Company agreed in the liberality of bis i love for the laboring man, to give good : miners uudtr ground $3.50 per day, and ' that in a camp where water costs from ! three to five cents per gallon, board $8 per week and wood $10 to $12 per cord, thereby makiug it a hardship upon many of tbe miners who have families to sup port. And another thing tbat has uot been forgolten is that when bids were let for work at Oro Grande on the mines owued by the same parties, name ly, Markham 9c Co., that white men offered to take tbe contracts at the*low est possible living rates, but were under bid by Chinamen; and, consequently, a large amount of work was let to the Ce lestial beauties. These sre a few of the reasons why ihe miners will not support the genial and affable Republican candi date for Congress. The Democrats of Calico have a well organized club of over one hundred members, aud work in harmony with a smaller club in Daggett. The Republi cans have a small club iv Calico, also in Daggett, and everythiug points to a good majority for tbe grand old party. We have no Prohibitionists and no But lerites. The mining outlook was never better, everything indicating that Calico has not yet seen its best days. I will state in coucluaiou. for the ben efit of the Time* and the prophet of tbe Index thst this was not written by a letter writer of the Herald, but by Prospector. Dsggett, Sept. 10, 1884. Opening of the Ellis Villa College. Yesterday was a busy <lny at theiusti tntii.ii. Quite early in the morning par ents begat, to arrive with their daugh ters, ready t» begin their school work, and it required tlie aßsir.tai.ce of aeveial of tbe faculty to Bbow thera around the commodious building prepared for their accommodation. All were delighted with the arrangements, aud though there is much work to be done, yet enough haa been completed to make tbe College a very pleasant home eveu in its un finished state. There is room sufficient on the lirst floor to make tbe boarders comfortable aa they arrive, and the upper rooms will he ready by the last uf the week. The fact that the whole building is finished in the natural wood, and this requires no painting, renders it possible to occupy the rooms ua fnst as they are out of tlie carpenters' bauds. To-day alt were gathered into the beautiful and npacious school ha 1, and after appropriate opeuiug exercises, the school wur't was taken ' up. Twenty boarders hsve already arrived and a large number are yet to be heard from. The examination will begin at tt o'clock to morrow, (Wednesday) morning, and by the last of the week the work will he thoroughly organized and the school in proper running order. Hacks leave the foot of Temple street every morning at 8 o'clock, and the Na deau Mock at 7:4.5 and 8:30 o'clock. Fare for the pupils, fl cents. Reason vs. the "Irish World." It wm my good luck on Saturday evening, when the Democratic proces sion formed on Temple street, to find a place and torch in tho midst of about a dozen Irishmen, erery one over 40 years of age. The Cleveland Guards had formed on our right. "Hello, Jim," said one of the Cleveland Ouarda to my pill doner; "what are you doing here? I thoaght you did belong to the working men's party." "So I do," replied my friend, whom I now commenced lo scrutinise with interest; '•! belong to the same workiogmen'e party 1 belonged to twenty-eight years ago." "Yes," he continued, addreaiing me; "twenty eight yean ago I oast my tint rote fur Hucbanan, and since then I have voted the Democratic ticket and shall do so until I die." These remarks drew some attention. "I voted the tint time for Pierce," shonted another veteran Irish man. "I for Douglass,' - aaid another. "Well," I aaid myself, "I voted the tint time for McClellan, when serving as a volunteer on the fields of Virginia, bnt what gives me a glad surprise is that I see myself aurronnded by so many true hearted Irish Democrats, when the He publican papers want to make us believe that the Irish will vote solid for Blame." "U hsng tbe lying Republican papers, and the /risk It'orM, too," responded tiveor six, and theu my friend continued: "li'you would believe these lying Re publican papers you would believe also that au Irishman would Bell his vote to a party, which he hates as his natural euemy. Like me, I know and can assert that no bouest Irishman iv this large country will desert the parly which ofTered bim tbe first protection upou arriving iv this couutry, aud which always bas proved itself the friend of the laboring class. Hang the Republi cans, who have alwaya kicked agaiust us, and you Dutahmen, too (the wr ter of this is a Dutchman); aud who never had any use for either of us, uuless they wan ted our votes." "Hurrah for Jim," came from all around, who heard the little "unprepared for" speech. I was unable to thank my friend, as the pro cession was moving, but a hearty shake of tbe hand expressed my feelings better than any words coald have done. "Democracy and Kkkohm."

R. Colonel Markham and the Miners. Editor Herald: In your issue of tbe 18th you sa> that rumors reach you from all sides, "that the Republican candidate for Congress iv the Sixth Dis trict has steadily endeavored during bis career, as a mining man, to reduce the wages of the hard working miners to tbe lowest possible pitch, and that upon their resisting the reduction he has dis charged Caucasian miners wholesale and replaced them by Chinamen." These are grave allegations, but tbey are not true. During the summer of 1881, tbe Oro Grande Mining Company (in which Colonel Markham was a stockholder, but not manager) did during the Colonel's abseuce in the East, employ a crew of Chinamen. A part of this crew were discharged within ten days after their arrival, the balance remained about six weeks or two months, or until Colonel Markham returned from the East— when the control of the mines passed into his bauds—when they were dis charged. And from that day uutil he severed bis connection with the mines there was not a Chinaman employed in auy capacity whatever; and, the allega tion that he reduced the wages of miners is not true. When Colonel Markham took hold of the King mine at Calico the mining interest iv this vow famous oamp waa iv a languishing condition. Neighboring camps were paying $3 00 per day. The majority of mine owners, sdvocated making that fignre the price for Calico, but the Colonel said "No; we will call it $3.50 per day," aud that has been the price ever since. I would say iv this connec tion for the benefit of those who do not know, that I was the Superintendent of the Oro Grande Mining Company from June Ist. 1881, to July 15th, 1884, or from almost the first iuception of the Company aud until after the Colonel had sold out, aud consequently was in a position to kuow all the tacts.
