HARD TINES IN THE BLACK HILLs.-A
private letter from o former Eurekau
states that times are fearfully hard in the
Black Hills. The writer also says the
weather in that region is extremely cold.
The freezing up Of the water has oper.
ated to very materially curtail placer
mining which, SO for, has been the main-
stay Of tho country. He thinks there
arc plenty of good mines in the Black
Hills, including some very promising
quartz ledges; but he gives it as bis
opinion that next April or May will be
soon enough for any one to think OF
going there. He predicts the Indians
win keep quiet during tine winter. mas
much ~ they seldom do anything in the
winter which will cause them to break
camp. . thing they might be forced to
do II they interfered with the whites.

BONANZA Control,

The Bulletin refers to a rumor in cir.
culstion that Flood t. O'Brien no longer
control the Bonanza miues. which it adds
is generally discredited. The basis for
the rumor. probably, is the belief ente,
tanned by some that John W. Mackey,
who had q two-ffths interest, has retired
or is about to sever his connection with
his associates. Referring to the annual
election of Consolidated Virginia, the
Bulletin says:
"Tbe snnual meeting of the Consoli
dated Virginia Mining Company is called
| for January IL. At the last annual meet.
ing over 100, 200 shares of the los. 600
| shares then issued were represented at
the meeting. Since then the capital
! stock has been divided into $40. 900
| shares. and the Office has been soliciting
proxies since the 18th. 1t is thought
that over 500 900 shares will be repre-
sented ut the next election"
If the Office is SOLICITING proxies there
must be some very strong foundation for
the rumor that Flood j. 0 Brien no long
er hold the control. Tbs holders of the
stock have generally understood all along
that the controlling interest in each mine
was represented by two certificates, one
representing 27l, 900 shares of California,
the other an equal amount - 271, 900
shares-of Consolidated Virginia. It is
singular thing in the history of the bo-
nanzas. if the bonanza kings. through
the Office, are soliciting proxies. And
very significant az we'll. And if the Bull
letin's probability, that over 500, 900
shares will be voted at the next election
be true approximately, it looks as if there
was right smart chance of fight for
the control. The Bulletin is not sensa-
tional in stock matters, and its utterances
are entitled to respectful consideration.
Should the fight for control-if any such
fight is in progress-become serious, it
would be for stockholders to study their
best interests. The bonanza firm has
strong friends and bitter enemies, and
both would naturally enlist for tho war
The sudden departure of Mr.. Flood east
ward may have some connection with
reinforcements.-S. +. Stock Exchange,

HOLIDAY BUSINESS AND CTS.
TONER'S.

Here. in our little city. where the
flush times long since subsidized; where 9
general and long-continued. almost
chronic, state of quiet prevails; and
where We have, SO far. escaped general
conhagration. our people have become
accustomed 10 q state of comparative
dullness in trade; and as the stock de.
preston, which has its effects all through
the Pacific States, has become almos: as
settled a condition as anything else
which affects Us. We have come to an
attitude Of comparative resignation to
our fate, and 50 long ceased to mourn
our lot that feeling somewhat akin to
cheerful contentment has come upon US.
Not SO in Virginia City. however. Their
uniform prosperousness before the great
fire. spoiled them for season of de-
preston: and now that their surplus
capital is locked up in new buildings as
well as in deprecated stocks. they be-
vail in lugubrious tones the hard times
by which they are visited. Suddenly
acquired fortunes are not the plentiful
thing Of two or three years back: and o
supcrabundanee of pocket-money has
been succeeded by an unwontei scarcity.
So our ne;ghbors fret and find fault and
give way to the blues and talk as if
doomsday were at hand. As to the
effect that this condition of things is
likely to produce upon the holiday bust
ness. one can only guess; but if We have
ut bottom rs well-to-do class of people
rs the Bulletin hints at. the general cur
rent of holiday trade will move on,
swimmingly. even though the yearly |
crop of new-made millionaires is trihe |
short and Dives finds himself shorn of |
his surplus dollars. Upon the outlook !
for lively season in San Francisco, and |
the causes which will make it possible,
the Bulletin says:
But it ia the great mass who do not
become miliionaires who make trade
good. Fifty persons in ordinary life
will lay ont more money than the larges:
capitalist. There are vast numbers of
them, while there are necessarily only a
few upon whom fortune smiles. So far
MS it is possible to judge from outside in
dicatiops. these circumstances are tell
ing on the holiday season now in pro-
gress. The stores along the principal
streets never presented more attractive
appearance. The windows are filled
with everything that can catch the eye
or captivate the taste. All the motions
Of brisk trade are perceptible enough
The streets and stores are constantly
with eager throngs. Ii there is
only occasionally the wild purchaser to :
whom the amount expended is no con-
rern. there is. so far as appearances 60
IN the other hand. q steady army of
buyers. There is no disappointment C
running through all classes Of society q
md damming up the kindly feelings !,
shich the season ought to Set flowing
The purchasing going on must be from e
he prudent savings Of the year. II s
here have been few examples Of sudden r
iches there have been no general losses =
There is not depression in thousand
asmes for the wild exclamation in one.
III this ought to be for the benefit of
lealthy trade

THE CONTINENTAL AGAIN.

Policy holders in the ContineDta
Company may see by the following
that their patience is likely to receiv,
severe test, if the programme which
!. seems to have been agreed on by the
manipulators is carried out. "Indi
cations" says the Herald, "strongly
suggest lively struggle for the rights
of the policy-hoiders of tho Coutinen-
tai Life Insurance Company. The
evidences of gross mismsnagement by
the officers of that concern have
aroused the Indignation of the public,
and will be likely to result in an OK.
ceedingly close scrutinizing Of its af-
fairs. Already meeting has been
held in Philadelphia, where some 1872
policies Of that company are held. and
a,committee has been appointed to
look out for the interests of the as
sured. The Insurance SuPerinten-
dent, Mr.. William Smyth, is fully
alive to the importance of the matter.
and will vigorously perform his duties
therein. Policy holders Of the Cont
mental have waited patiently long
| enough for some intimation from the
receiver concerning the value of the
contracts which they possess. Mr..
Anderson has been five weeks in Office
and not one ray of information has in
that time been afforded. The neces-
sity for some explanation of the Cont
mental affairs has previously been
made apparent through these columns.
1t is just to suppose that Mr.. Ander-
son knows something of the real con-
dition Of the concern, and it seems
equally just to presume that the Court
which appointed and gave him instruc-
tions could have no objection to his
furnishing the anxious policy-holders
with such facts about tho situation as
are already established. They are
asked by another company to make a
transfer of their old policies and accept
new ones in its stead. Upon what ba-
sis can this be done, except that OF
blind speculation: The policy holder
does not know the value Of that which
he assigns, and the New Jersey Mu-
tual, according to the statement of its
President, is similarly ignorant of the |
value they accept. The latter are. Of !
in the better informed condi- |
ton, and it is not likely they will en-
ter into anything Improbable to them
selves. Mr.. Anderson by his reti-
rence indirectly aids in supporting
this unequal position. His excuse is
hat the instructions Of the Court do
not allow him to make any approx
nats declaration. He says that the
ong process, by which a knowledge
If the precise condition of things will
De determined, must be gone through
With before any Information whatever
an be given out. Mr.. Chandler, the
actuary of the company, further in
the writer that he cannot hope
0 complete his labors under sixty
ays at least. He says that a specific
has to be made upon each

Irwin. She has just undergone trial

says:
The jury in the case Of Mary Irwin,

by Judge Cole. We understand that the
jury stood nine for acquittal and three
for conviction. The result of the jury

impression prevailed that a conviction
would be secured. The case is set for
retrial at the February term of Court.

NAsHTY. says 1t never made
him uneasy to see us in even our most
furious mood. Thinks we don't amount to
much any how seeing that we are ignor-
ed i'll both the caucuses and conventions
of our own party. We are not aware
of having been slghted anywhere and
wouldn't give two cents If such had
been the case. We never felt like going
into political meetings to rain things and
feel no desire to do SO now. We prefer
to keep aloof, and maintain our own
independence, and the right to talk up
to our readers as we think right and
proper at ali times and on all subjects.
We are happy to say that we are not OF
that class of hide-bou tied-handed
newspaper men who reel under the
crack of the party whip, and when &C.
cassion requires, can show a degree OF
independence that may astonish even
the chronicle. We propose to back up
what is right in all things. An attempt
to harness us to q party hack would de-
velop a mule propensity that would
make things lively in front and rear.
We won't attempt to run professional
politicians and kno,0 they can't run us.
If this is what the chronicle wanted to
find out, it now has our position i'll a
nutshell.

THE APPORTIONMENT

The new appointment and redivision
of Assembly Districts in our County as
made ut the recent session of our legis-
lature Is as follows:
The towns of Schlesvi2, Meme. Eaton. Lib
erty, Rockland, Cato. Maple Grove. and Frank
lin, in the County of Manitowoc, shall consti-
The towns OF Two Creeks, Mishicott, Gibson
Cooperstown, kossuth, Two Rivers, shall con-
s'ittue the second Assembly district, In said
county,
The towns of Centerville, Newton, Nanito-
voc Rapids, Manitoroc. and the city Of Man
ftowoc, shall constitute the third Assembly
district, in said county.
By this appointment it would seem
that the Republicans of this county are
to be represented in the Legislature by
at least one representative. To or
Democratic friends this mode of re-iis-
triclting is not satisfactory. Their no
ton as to the rights of minority is as
might be expected, all on one side.
They think it perfectly right and proper
(take the last vote of this county which
is an unusually large Democratic vote
that 1920 Democratic voters ought to
be represented by three Democrats
in the Assembly, and ], 406 Republican
voters have no representation whatever
We hold that minorities are entitled to
some consideration and should favor the
creation Of O Democratic Assembly Dis
trict if the vote were Republican rs it
now is Democratic.
