i 6 BONANA IN SAN FRANOISOD, The Millien Dollar Dividends Things of the Past, San Francieco Bulletin The market misses the million dol- lar dividends of the California and Consolidated Virginia mines, and is likely to miss them for a long time to come. These dividends will be re- membered to show what has been done in the way of mining, rather that what can be done. We do not ever expect to see any more magnifi- cent dividonds of 'that sort_disbursed monthly by single mines. It takes a great many small dividends to make £1,000,000. But small dividends, if they are regular, are quite as on- couraging as irregular ones on a large soale. It is gratifying to know that most of the mines which were paying dividends in this vicinity at the be- ginning of the year are still keeping them up, and it is hoped they will suffer no month to pass without re- membering stockholders, Mines should start in as they expect to hold out, and then the business of mining will have more friends and fewer ene- mies. The following mining dividends have been disbursed, principally at San Francisco, during the first half of the current year: No, Amount. Deadwood Terra, Dakota.. 6§ 280,000 Eureka Consolidated, Nev.. 6 150,000 Father De Smet, Dakota... 4 100,000 12,000 180,000 124,000 50 )0 60,000 187,600 Northern Belle, Nevada. ... 6 Napa Consolidated Quick- silver, California .. e Ontario, Utah . .....

The Temperance Question: New York Tribune, ““What is yoyr position on the tem- perance question, Dr. Woolsey?” “My pl’lynic'uux advises me, in con- sideration of my age and state of Lealth, to take two. glasses of she: daily, but I don't do it. I think use about half a glass each day. But if T thought any one within the range of my influence likely to become a drunkard through my indulgence I should refuse to take even that,” said ithe venerable scholar, with a smile, “If a young man should come to _you for advice as to the use of wine what would you say to him?" ‘T should tell him not to allow him- self to have any drinking habits. T should not advise him tu pledge hiu self not to drink, but abstain from principle. It is not necessary to re- ard drinking a glass of wine a sin in itself, but every young man should see that it is better for himaelf, and especially for weak associates who may be under his influence, to use no strong drink, and therefore he should decide not to indulge.” “‘Your position 1s the same as Dr. ©Orosby’s, then?” “Substantially. I do not think the advocates of the total abstinence pledge are likely to reform the coun- try. They have gone about as far as they can go. 1t is better to advocate reform on Dr. Crosby's grounds than on theirs I think. As to the use of light wines and ale, it would be better for the nation if they were introduced freely enough to abate the consump- tion of fiery liquors. Temperance is an evil which cannot be overcome At once, and reformers must be content to regulate the sale of liquors se far as their work relates to a certain part of large communities. temperance reform must come through the establishment of character on just and right principles.” Aron-Making in the West. The prospective opening of a blast furnace at South !;uflblo, Colorado, with the announcement that it will be ready to turn out steel rails in a fow months, is something more than an event in Colorado; it is a token of the wvast system of iron manufactures that must grow up in the west in the next fow years. Iron-making requires large capital and skilled labor, and for this reason the west has been backward in even attempting to turn to account its vast deposits of ore and coal, But this neglect cannot continue, Capital and skillen labor are becoming dif- fusive, they can be carried to remote points without difficulty; they can work with almost equal facility in Missouri and Colorado as in Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey. Besides, the increasing abundance of capital in the country has caused it to lose its tradi- tional timidity and to become daring and enterprising. It ventures boldlyin- tonew fields tomakenovel experiments, because th> future of the country is certain to bring success to well- founded enterprises and toresoue even foolish ones from disaster, The rail- road building now going on in the west at such an amazing rate must be accompanied by the iron manufactd- rios needed to supply the roads with materials for ropairs. Every railroad built is a perpetual consumer of iron, and the consumption of iron 18 the gauge that measures a people's pro- - gress in givilization, The Yuestion is wl the immense amount of steel rails —for steel is to be the rail material henceforth-—needed for the npnndi:;f system of roads in the far ;ut Rt \:; l|,nmiu l:“ th;1 east, or in urope, and brought to the ground at lmtp:xpema, ur{c made in the west near the points where they areneeded. As there is an abundant nupg‘l,y of irou ore, perfectly adapted the Bessemer process, in Missouri, in close contiggity to the coals of Illinois to reduce it; and as there is an ample supply of «ood ore and coal on the headwaters of the Arksnsas in Colorado, these facts supply an anawer to the question; it is west of the Mussissippi that iron- wmaking must find its greatest develop- went in the future. The freight charges on a ton of rails from Peunn- sylvenia to the Mississippi arglgreat enough to constitute & reasonable protective tariff; and the farther - | household %uudl; he pays 872 a year A permanent | ; west is the point where the rails are needed, the greater is the protection against eastern competition. The, immense mileage of railroad we ad- | ready have in the country and the rapid rate at which we are covering the unoccupied ground must increasc enormously our consumption of iron and make it necessary for each region where ore is to be found to furnish its own supply of tho material. This renders it certain that iron-making is to bex one of the most active and prosperous of industries in Missouri and Coiorado in the future, Chinese Cheap Labor New York Times, How cheap is “Chinese cheap labor?” The United States consul- general at Shanghai has been making a special investigation which enables him to throw some light on this in- toresting inquiry. Skilled laborers— artisans, workers at trades, ete,—live mostly in the cities, where all prices are higher than outsi taste, although appreciated, are no paid accordingly. A painter may win renown, and his name or his seal may live after him; but during life he will be no better off than his neighbor who makes coffius. Paiuters of por- celain, designers and weavers of tho most exquisite patterns of silks, and the artisan who makes wonderful pieces of enamel or “‘china,” are sat- isfied if they put by enough for burial expenses; the butcher does as well as any of them. Gold and silversmiths, and others whose work 1s peculiarly responsible, do a little better; the weaver or spinner of silk is probably the best paid day laborer, getting 81 to 82 a day. The average pay of skilled labor is probably 83 a week for a master, $1.60 for a workman, and 50 cents for ‘“youngsters or females.” The master lives generally at his workshop, having $20 to §30 worth of for food, $36 for rent and sundries, 812 for clothing, and is rich with 836 left. The ordizary workman, if un- married, lives with his parents or with some friend. His ué’nuh may be 88 for the three items above men- tioned. Females and youngsters are assumed to cost all they can earn. On the farm, everybody must work, the children beginning at 6 years. Two house built of mud and reeds and thatched with straw, and a cow, a few fowls and pigs, and some very primi- tive tools, may constitute a well-to-do farmer's property. The soil will usu- nl:iy support the family, and 20 cents a day will pay for their food. Rice, or bread, with vegetables and com- mon tea, varied by a little poultry or pork on festive occasions, makes their iet. ‘I'heir bit of land may be worth 8400, their annual working expenses may be $42, and they will produce about $160, leaving about $50 clear. In cotton, the land will average 1,600 pounds at 4 cents; cost of cultivation and tax, 831, net yield, 833, if the soil suits cotton. A woman weaves one piece per day ot cotton cloth, 6 to 9 yards, 39 to 46 inches wide; she spina one-third of a pound of yarn, at 6 conts for labor; 6 working ‘days convert the raw fibre into 113 Fl)llndl of cloth, worth 60 cents. The arm laborer get 10 to 15 cents a day, or 70 cents to $1.06 a week, in har- veat time, besides his food, estimated at 10 cents a day; by the month, $1.50 to 82, and board; by the year, $12, “and found.” About $2a year will clothe him, and he does well if he saves twice that in a year. For coolie labor, comprising boatman, car- riers, wheel barrowmen, etc., from b to 30 cents o day are paid; the car- riers in West China, who carry for 20 consecutive days 300 to 400 pounds of tea on their backs over a mountain- ous country, are considered well paid at 26 cents a day. The ordinary coolie earns $4.560 a month, and spends 84, Coal is mined entirely by hand, and sellls at the pit's mouth for $1 a ton, Gold-diggers on the Han river, in 1870, were earning b to 15 cents a day; seven men w estimated to wash 20 tons of gravel a day, yield- The ing 3 to 4 cents to the ton, Chinese soldier costs a year, Popularity. Thomas' Kelectric Oil has obtained great popularity, from its intrinsic value as o reliable medicine, in curing hoarse- neas, and all irritations of the throat, dis- eases of the chest, ete, For these it is an incomparable pultonic. eodlw em——— P. T. Barnum’s Tale. From the Cleveland Leader, ‘“‘Elephants are the cutest and most sensible animals in a menagerie. They must be well taken care of. At Louisville recently we lost a valuable elephant, which died of chills. The only remedy used when they get these chills is whisky. Several years ago two of our large elephants were seized with chills and divided two gallons of whisky between them, In a short time they rallied and gave evidence that their drunk pleased them. The next day the keeper's attention was called to the same two elephants shaking and acting as they di-ll the preceding day, The keeper eyed them both, and with a knowing wink told them to stop their nonsense, that they would get no more whisky. This was sad nows for them, and they stopped shaking instantly. Cured of Drinking. ‘A young friend of mine was cured of a which had so prostrated him that he was unable to do any business, He wus entirely cured by the use of Hop Bitters, It allayed all that burning thirst; took away the appetite for liguor; made his nerves steady, and he has remained a sober and steady man for more than two years, and has no desire to return to his cups; I know a number of others that have been cured ot drinking by it.”—From a leading R.

As a rule we do not recommend pa- tent medicines, but when we know of one that really is a public benefactor, and does positively cure, than we con- sider it our duty to impart that infor- mation to all. Electric bitters ate truly a most valuable wmedicine, and will surely cure Biliousness, Fever and Ague, SBtomach, Liver and Liduey complaints, even where all other rem- edies fail.
