THE WEEKLY CLARION.
Vindicating the Freedom of the
Press.

The Supreme Court Of Louisiana ha:
vindicated the liberty Of the press by
liberating the publishers of the Maseo
journal, which the Mayor of the city un
dertook to suppress at the instance Of off
ciaIs ano ther parties who had been sub
jects Of its criticism. The Mayor order
ed the suppression Of the paper, but the
order vas not executed. Injunctions
were then obtained to restrain il. The
publishers resisted and were sent to
prison under rule Of contempt. An
appeal was taken by them to the Su-
preme Court. It released the prisoners
and ordered all the proceedings in the
civil court annuiled. In the course of
the decision the court said that no court
in England nor America in modern times
ever issued a general order to prevent
publication by newspaper, and that
the party must first wait till something
has been said, but it could not apply for
an injunction in advance.
J. E. BALLARD, Esq, has commenced
the publication of q Greenback paper
at Waterford, Marshall county. He is
opposed to monopolies and national
banks and in favor cf Greenbacks.
This is all well. But the strange part
Of it is that he looks outside of the
Democratic party for the vindication Of
that policy. If the Democratic party
is not pledged against monopolies, and
national banks and in favor of presery-
ing the greenback currency, we have
its record.
DIR. HUNTER. Of the Crystal Springs
has determined on a trip
to the Northern States for his health ;
and during his absence Mr.. S. H. |
5tackhouso will conduct the paper.
We unite with the numerous other
friends ofthe Doctor in wishing him 4
pleasant trip and improved health.

Captain w. e. Davis, who left
Wednesday for Junction City to secure
witnesses in the Smith Hagan shoot

Ii witnesses. He went down by way
of Silver Creek and rode his horse lis
miles in "A hours. The horse and
rider were little worn, but the sad
die stood it finely. The Captain states
that he saw many former residents OF
Wood River in Junction City, which
is now town of tents and destined to
become a good business point. The
business places there at present are

THE FRENCH GROUP
1T PASSES AT LAST INTO THE CON
troll OF CAPABLE PERSONS.

Colonel F. N. Adams Takes Bonds Upon
1t for $65,OOO-Pays One Fourth
Down, and Begins Extensive Opera
tiOns Immediately-A Mountain Of Ore
to Be Properly Explored.
The famous French boys group of
claims, which includes II locations on
the divide between Bullion and Deer
Creek, has at last got into the hands
Of men who will open them up in
workmanlike manner. Several at
tempts have been made by various
parties, during the past three years, to
obtain control of these promising
claims, but something always hap
pened to prevent the contamination
of sale. Yesterday, however, the
papers were drawn up and signed in
this city, by virtue of which Colonel
F. M. Adams, the well-known mining
man who has been operating quite ex-
tensively in this region during the
past two months, is given a bond on
the property until the first of Novem-
Der, the price stated in the bond being
$4,000. AS rs per cent. of the pur-
chase price was paid down, and,
further, as Colonel Adams has already
let large contract for work on the
claims, and disbursed quite round
sum for supplies, it is very probable
that this transaction will mature into
sale.
The property transferred consists of
fractional interests in the Boss, Alta,
Silver State, Virginia, Union, Kos
suth, Erie and Santiago claims, and
undivided interests in the Orado,
Chicago, and North Star claims-all
of which are very promising, and at
least three of which-the Orado,
Chicago and North Star-already have
every appearance of being very valu-
able mines, the Chicago and Orado
alone showing continuous vein OF
solid galena four feet wide.
The French Boys group is familiar
to all mining men who have visited
Bullion. They cover all entire noun
tain of iron ore which carries gold,
silver and lead in paying quantities
A great deal of work has been done
by the locators during the past three
years-the cost of which was paid
from time to time, by selling few
tons Of ore. About 81 tons sold last
. year to the Wood River smelter net
ted the owners $175 per ton.
A popularity Of this ore is that i
carries gold in paying quantities
Even the iron ore, which does not APP
pear to contain much lead, carrie.
from $50 to $500 in gold per ton.
The locators were not miners. They
therefore worked on or near the sur
face, scratching the top and SUM
, shallow shafts and made open cuts
here and there, but no other perma
nent Improvements besides running ,
| tunnel last winter. But the outcrop
/, pings show, almost conclusively, tina
mammoth vein exists there, whicl
needs only little well-directed worl
! to be shown up; or, as Professor Jen
l ney forcibly expressed it last fall, whel
unsucccssfully trying to get hold o
the claims, ga man may go in Their
e with a shoe string, and come out wit

. 1t is a good thing for this section
/ that these claims have at last bee1

matter Of no small moment to the pee
pie of Deadwood, and especially to land
owners Should this road be built
property in Deadwood would go up 2OO
per cent at one leap. The fact that Il
title can now be secured through the

of still greater Importance to property
owners. TO the merchants the road
will be great benefit, for the trade of
the up-gulch section will drift to Dead

is also well known fact that the Home

DcatlMnod Times.

Since the completion Of the smel'cl
four shipments of bullion have been
made, aggreg lting $4,000 pounds. The
first shipment was made February |:
and weighed $1,000 pounds. Since theu
three other shipments have been made
two Of which weighed $1,000 each and
the last 27,00O. TO ship this immense
amount it took 100 wagons such us are
usually employed in freighting. The
contract for hauling the bullion to the
railroad has been let TO the Northwest
ern Transportation company In addi
tion to that shipped 10000 pounds is on
hand, to be used in charging the smcltcr
when it again starts up, which will he
in a short time. Enough ore is i'm the
bins to run 200,000 pounds more OF
bullion. The orc SHIPPED as near as we
can ascertain, ranges in value from $50
to 800 per ton. From this it will be
seen by any person not blind with pref
udice and unrcason that the many
rumor's OF the camps worthlcssness are
the bascst lies ever fabricated BY any
body to further r nefarious and dis

An Assay Office Sure.


A letter was received from Mr.. Petit
grew yesterday which stated that the
bill appropriating 5000 to build an as
say office in this city would certainly be
passed by congress, and it Was equally
certain that the bill allowing the people
Of Lawrence, Pennington and Custe,
counties to vote bonds to a railroad
would not be passed. In fact the com
mittec having the matter in charge viii
not report upon it. This comes of the
Iankton county bond frauds, though
why the people Of the Hills counties
should be compelled to bear the odium
of that swindling operation is a matte,
that only congressman can fully under
stand. 1t is certainly beyond our know
ledge to fathom.
