There are, in round numbers, 300
men at work now on the 8. F., P.
& P. railroad. There are four
camps. Contractor O’Connor has a
camp about four miles west of
town, with quite a force at work.
A little further on Contractor
Hughes has a force at work on
rock work. About six or seven miles
west of town B. Lantry A Son’s
first camp is located, while Fore
man Rhoadamer is located about
eleven or twelve miles west of Pres
cott, with quite a large force. Work
is progressing very satmfactorily.
It is expected that the grading force
will be increased to double the
present number within a few weeks
though at present but few addition
al men are being employed, the
force being about as large as can be
worked on the work in hand. j
Major Vaughn, general manager
and chief engineer of the road, is
engaged in organizing his bridge
force and expects to have it at work
by the 15th of the present month,
or not later than the 25th. There
is a large amount of , bridge timber
on hand at Ash Fork, and other
places along the line, and another
train will be put on the road to
bring this to, the front. Track
laying will probably not be resum
ed again until next month, but it is
the present intention to push the
work through t® completion.—

Some one has written an ope& !
letter to the President asking him
what good the repeal of the pur-i
--chase clause of the Sherman silver
act has done the country. Mr.
Cleveland will probably ignore the
inquiry and so will all the editors
who clamorously asserted that
when the Government stopped buy
ing silver good times would return.
The silence of the President and
the gold-bug,, editors, , however,
ought not to restrain the advocates
of bi-raetalißm from calling atten
tion to the fact that prices are still
falling and that industries of every
character are languishing, and that
even the stock market reporter of
New York says “to call the market
dull does not convey an adequate
idea of the stagnation prevailing.”

The Washingtonians are surpris
ed that the Chinese flag is ostenta
tiously kept flying over the legation
in that oity on every day in the
week, while it is the custom of
other foreign legations to only
hoist their flag on fete days. When
the newspaper men of the capital
become better acquainted with the
habits of the Chinese they will
cease to be surprised. In this city
we have learned to not wonder at
the continuous display of Chinese
bunting. We see it flying over
every conspicuous .Chinese estab
lishment, and understand that it is
meant to signify that those beneath
its folds acknowledge the dominion
of China and do not consider them
selves as part of or subject to the
United States.—S. F. Chronicle.
William Randle came in Monday
from his plaper claim near Rich
Hill, with 49 gold nuggets, ranging
in value from $2.50 to S3O each,
which he washed from his claim.
He sent the gold to the San Fran
cisco mint by express. Mr. Rart
dle has quite a reputation as a
nugget finder, having discovered
many of the largest found in this
action.—Prescott Courier.
An Editor*! Awful Blander.

i The editor of a weekly journal
lately lost two subscribers through
accidentally departing' from the
beaten track in bis answers to cor
respondents. Two of his subscrib
ers wrote to ask him his remedy for
their respective troubles. No. 1, a
happy father of twins, wrote to in
quire the best way to get these
safely over their teething, and No.
2 wanted to know how to protect
his orchards from the myriads of
grasshoppers. The editor framed
his answer upon the orthodox Hues,
but unfortunately transposed their
i two names, with the result that
i No, 1, who was "blessed with the
twins, read in reply to his query,
“Cover them c&Veftrlly with Straw
and set fire to them, and the tittle
pests after |u in ping" about ‘itt lhe
flames a few minutes will dpebdily
be settled,” while No. 2, plagued
with grasshoppers, was told to “Giro
a little castdr oil and rub their
gums gently w«th a bone.”
What is* i seigniorage? is often
asked. Seigniorage represents the
difference between the actual cost
of a metal anef the making of it
into money,'including alloy, Wast
age, etc., and the nominal sum for
which the coin thus made is paid
out by the government. For* 1 in
stance, if the government makes a
silver dollar at an expense of only
60 cents, the government has made
an apparent profit of 40 cents on
each 81, this profit-being seignior
age. There are* fixed charges at
the mint in making all coins. 'These
include the cost of alloy and for re
fining and making the coin from
the prepared metal. These fixed
charges are added to the actual cost
of the metal, and the difference
between this Sum and the nominal
value-at which the coin is passed
by the government- represents the
seigniorage or government profit.—

An old colored woman, f who
went to the World’s Fair' from the
south, with her *‘white ■ folks” was
shown by her young “missus,” the
Intramural railroad'and told that
it was run by electricity. The old
colored, “mammy” *> listened, and
later in the day, when she met some
of her own race, she surprised them
by saying the fair was the wicked
est place she was ever in. This
was explained in the following re
mark, “Dey got in dar an immoral
railroad and it am done elected, too.”

Ex-Marshal Wilson of Honolulu
has commenced a suit against the
editor bf the Star of that place for
exposing bis relations with Liliuo—
kalani. Uncle Sam is to be con
gratulated that his relations with
the queen are of only a diplomatic
, character, otherwise his name might
. be mixed up with the queen in an
unsavory way. Americans 'should
; take pride in knowing that their
big uncle is above reproach.—Pros

, Those navel oranges sent from
