SoME individual, with an arithmetical
turn of mind, has ciphered out the fact
that beer enough is manufactured in the
United States to give every man, woman
and child one hundred and ten ordinary
beer glasses a year. Beer, like money,
Is, however, unequally divided. Some
consume their fair share in the first
month Of the year, while others do not
drink beer at all. 1t may be a little hard
on the beer-drinkers to have to do the
work which temperance people, women
and children have undone, but as a rule
they accept the responsibility cheerfully.
The Government makes about sll. 0O0.-
600 q year out Of beer in the way Of in
ternal revenue.

Threats of Lynchfng.
Los ANGELES, january a. kumors
having been rife on the streets OF an inten-
ton to take Hunt from the authorities and
hang him, the Sheriff has summoned a
posse of citizens, and is now guarding the
Jail. The Los Angeles Guards volunteered
their services, and are also on duty, Inc
streets surrounding the Jail are niied with
people, but there is little or no exci.ement,
and from present appearances a very shgnt
probability of the threat being carried OUT.
A large crowd gathered at Santa ana last
night, and loud threats were a 81 iyhch-

Richmond Mining Company.

A correspondent Of the London Mining
Journal of Dec. 25 writes to that paper as
follows: II observe that the difference Of
cost at the Eureka and Richmond mines
continues. Since the last meeting the pub
lished reports Of the Eureka mine show
that the cost Of mining, smelling, refining
and marketing their ores, which are Of the
same nature and quality as the Richmond,
is about one-half less per ton than the cost
charged in the Richmond statement OF ac-
counts. This u~naccountable difference
amounts to as much as the net profit o
shown, and would pay double the present
dividends to the Richmond shareholders.
No explanation has ever been given for
this apparent excessive expenditure at the
mine. though shareholders and many out
siders would, no doubt, like to have it."

Arizona Lumber,

By reference to our exchanges we see
that building timbers and lumber of all
kinds are shipped daily from Sacramento,
CAL, into Arizona. This state Of affairs
will not last long. From Prescott, Arizo-
ma, east to Santa Fe, New Mexico, there is
a belt of country from one to two hundred
miles in width which has o good coating
Of oak and pine. Most of it is very fine
timber, suitable for all building purposes.
Immense forests are along the line of the
Bill Williams route upon the mountains
Of that name and also in the White Noun
tains. All that country wants is sawmills
and a larger number of e~nterprising back
woodsmen.

The Power of Imaginatio

Some official Of the general hospital in
New Haven writes to the Medical and Sur
.gical Reporter of a queer case of the power
of Imagination. A female patient with
chronic gastritus had habitually taken
morphine in the form Of sleeping drops"
For the first few times she was given NOR
phine, but after this the hospital physician
had o bottle carefully labeled sleeping
drops" and filled with water. OF this she
took q drachm at bedtime. At first she
complained that the medicine was too
strong and made her head feel badly the next
day, SO that the dose was reduced. This
she took for nearly q month, sleeping nicely
when she did take, and not sleeping at all
when it was kept from her for the sake Of
experiment.

THE PROsPECTOR AND THE
BROK ER

The New York Weekly Mining News
gives the inside workings of how mining
properties are placed in the hands OF
brokers and capitalists. 1t says: Very
much of the disrepute which has hitherto
attached, and, in some respects, still at
tacbes to the mining business, is due to
the reckless stock speculations Of gam
bling brokers. Just as these gentlemen
are in the habit of playing battledore and
shuttlecock with railroad stocks, regard
less Of the worth or worthlessness OF the
roads they represent, just SO do tney
play pitch and toss with mining stocks
without caring whether they represent
really valuable mines or mere holes In
the ground. The value OF a stock IN the
market seldom bears any sort OF relation
to the value Of the property it repre-
sents. 1t is the paper the broker CANDLES
with, it is the fluctuations of the paper
he is interested in, not the property.
Perfectly good and thoroughly valuable
mines have been utterly abandoned for
no other reason than that it suited the
interests of spectators to hammer down
the stock, thus frightening stockholders
and the public from furnishing the money
requisite for development.
A mining prospector who has discov-
cred a good property, but who lacks the
means to work it, comes to New York to
raise the funds he needs. He cannot get
money like other men, by bond or mort
gage; people do not, as a rule, lend money
on prospect holes. The first capitalist
who consents to listen to him tells him to
capitalize his mine and issue stock,
which, for a consideration, the kind
hearted capitalist will undertake to place.
The advice is adopted, of course; it must
be or the mine will never be developed.
With a few thousand dollars to his
credit, the prospector returns to his mine
and sets to work honestly to develop it
to the best of his ability.
Before long, however. he receives copies
Of New York papers containing dis
patches from him, which he never sent
reporting wonderous discoveries, which
he never heard Of, and prophesying mar
wells of wealth Of which he never dreamed.
He protests, perhaps; but it is no use.
The officers of the company inform him
they know what they are doing,
that they are running the company and,
as they have control Of the stock, they
will continue to do so.
What can your honest miner do? Moth
ing; and he does it. He goes on with
his work, and in a short time the papers
bring accounts of the petering out of the
mine, which he is just beginning to work
q point. He reads that there has
been a fire, or that the machinery has
been broken. He reads these lies and
again he protests. No use. The brokers
are bearing the stock, as a few weeks be-
fore they were bulling it, it may be in
the interest of the management, it may
be simply as a market movement; the
effect is the same.
A few weeks more and the papers
chronicle another mining f~izzle." "an-
other swindling hole in the ground" the
superintendent and the experts are
damned up and down, the public growl,
the brokers chuckle~ and-behold another
killed by speculation /

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1881-12-13

Senator John P. Jones, Of Nevada,
was an east bound passenger yesterday.
He was accompanied by his family.
In conversation, the senator inform
ed a representative of the LEADER
that he would not accept a cabinet APP
pointment and expressed the opinion
that it was unwise for a senator to do
SO because of the risks of permanence.
HIS emphasized the policy of President
Arthur In the matter of making ap-
pointments, and holds that the true
idea of a republican form of govern
ment is to make appointments in res
ponse to the testimony of the senators
and representatives from the various
states, whom the people have selected
to represent them.
The senator thought that he would
touch up hi friend Arthur respecting
his recommendation for the retire.
ment Of silver from circulation.
''They forget" said he, "that the 66
millions of silver in the treasury are
represented by that amount Of silver
certificates, doing noble duty throughout
the co untry."

Not n woman's Rights Man.

New York, Dec. 12.-The 1ribume's
Washington special says: An an
nouncement of considerable interest is
authoritatively made with regard to
the appointment of womea to office.
The president has determined to make
no such appointments in the future.
This rule will apply to such offices as
postoaices, pension agencies, ETC., but
will not, Of course, have any bearing
on positions in departments. President
Arthur's reasons as given by one of
his friends, are that the p~ostofice de-
partment has had a great deal of trou-
BILE as the result of appointing women
to-ofice, and that such appointments
have caused a good deal Of dissatisfac-
tion in the party. This rule will affect
a number Of postofices, and the PEN
sion agency at Chicago.

sheep on the Chicago market,

among the heavy receipts of sheep
that have lately swamped the markets
both here and in eastern cities, we have
had sheep from Texas, Colorado, Wyo-
ming, Dakota and Montana. A good
many Of the sheep received from these
w~idely-apart states and territories have
been of the light AID thin kind, and
withal, the wool, a little hairy, and
some of them have been diseased with
scab. All these conditions spoiled the
sale of many hundreds of them for
stock sheep. The market here became
overstocked and quite a large number
of these mixed and inferior sheep have
been shipped to the eastern markets,
some to Buffalo; some to Boston, and
other seaboard markets in the way of
desperate effort to make them pay out
even. All sheep raisers should bear in
mind the fact that in the three spring
months in every year is the the time
that good mutton sheep sell at the
highest price that is paid during the
twelve months. The sheep that have
been coming hero of late have been
subject to heavy freight bills and other
charges, that a good many of them will
hardly leave, when sold, more than
half their original cost, as net pro-
ceels.-Drouer's Journal.

Washington, Dec. 12.-In the OPEN
ing Of the Guiteau trial this morning
there was the usual scene Of license on
the part of the prisoner.
The examination Of the experts sum-
moned to pass upon Guiteau's insanity
was commenced.
DIR. l.. Q. Sprizgar, of New York,
testified that he had made nervous and
mental diseases a speciality. 1 have
testified as an expert % times; 1 exam
ined Guiteau in Jail yesterday, and was
satisfied that he is insane; the main
features Of the prisoners case is the
tendency to form a delusive opinion,
morbid projects, and strong imbecility
of judgment. While / ha ye no other
evidence than the expression of his
face, l should have no doubt that he is
a moral imbecile or moral monstrosity.
Scoville, in a hypothetical question,
asked If the witness thought the pris-
oner insane on July I'd.
The witness declined to answer the
hypothetical question; the prisoner was
insane when he examined him, and
must have been more or less morbid
mentally through life, and was proba-
bly, insane on July I'd.
Davidge made some very pointed in
qulries as to the standing and opportu-
mites for professional requirements
enjoyed by the witness, to which SEQ
vile objected.
1t having been stated that the wit
ness was a veterinary surgeon, ScoviIe
had no cause to be ashamed, Davidge
said, only that his treatment must have
been chiefly Of horses, and he must be
a horse doctor.

questions, l endeavor to treat him as

The witness visited the Jail as Prof.
Brown, p~hrenologist, so as to talk to
the prisoner unawares, but declined to
express IN opinion whether Guiteau
was able to distinguish right from
wrong or whether he was morally re-
sponsible, but since the prisoner had
