Colonel Branson president of the
Humboldt mining company, resident at
Engle, is visiting the range this week,
accompanied by his wife and child.
The Palomos richness is attracting his
attention at present. The colonel has
hopes that the settlement of the com-

gin on the Cuchillo Negro properties
soon. Mrs. Branson will return to her

~iciency of funds are already on hands
to u the tunnel six hundred feet, and
there is more where this came from.
Six hundred feet of work will, without
doubt, add value to the property. Two
shifts, ten hours each are pushing the
work.
Alex Won Wendt has six men con-

Since he began working the property lie
has opened by shaft and drift more

first working no cribbing was done and
as a consequence the mine caved in
This made the timbering exceedingly
expensive and made a cave in the mine.
The Silver Monument ore is the most
handsome and averages among the
richest of the ores of the range.

THE ROYAL ARCH.
Native Silver and Porphyry in
Equal Parts.
A New Combination for the
Range.

In the BLACK RANGE of the 9th inst,
appeared a lengthy article concerning
the Black Knife mine and smelter, and
in that article there was an error in
some very important figures which II
i proper to correct. The types say that
the mill-runs at that time extracted
from q ton of ore II ounces of silver
aisdB per cent. of copper, making a
total of SIS. 1t should have been %
instead of IL ounces of silver, and this
figure was given when the galena con-
tanned in the mine vas going into the
furnace along with the carbonates.
This galena lies in streaks in the mine
separate from the other Gre, and being
easily sorted and carrying a much less
per cent. of silver 1t is not the the in
tention to work it with the other ore,
consequently when the copper car bon
ates alone are smelted, as they are at
present the average runs up to IL per
cent. in copper and 80 ounces in silver.
These figures are better and indicate
the true value Of the mine more cor
rectly than those given before. The
RANGE takes pleasure in making the
correction regretting only it's previous
error.

Newspaper Influence.

Discussing the influence of American
newspapers upon the public mnld, the
Contemporary ReUiea0 says: Perhaps
the most curious circumstance is the
fact that there is not a single newspa,-
per at Washington, the national capital,
which has any influence in the country
or even the city itself. Formerly 1t
was not so. Forty years ago the most
influential papers in the country was
published at Washington, and great
statesmen of both par ties made use OF
them for the discussion OF constltu,
tional questions. They were read all
through the land, and they educated
the people. There are no such papers
in America now, and their place is not
supplied, as it is in England, by the
general publication of full reports OF
such speeches as English statesmen are
constantly making, both in and out OF
Parliament. 1t is difficult to overrate
the value of this political education,
which makes the people of England
familiar with the best thoughts OF her
greatest men. There is very little OF
this in America to-day. L am not qui'e
prepared to indorse the opinion ex,
pressed to me not long ago by enc OF
the leading journalists in England,
but there is too much truth IN It, ne
said: American papers are beneath
contempt The fact is that they are
nelUS papers and nothing more. II
seems to me that the English press Is
gravitating in the same direction. Inc
New York papers are less provllncln
aud more generally read than others
but their influence is much less than II
was twenty years ago. They have .
larger circulation but their edltsrlalS
are neglected, and they speak to hg
people with no authority on Polltica
questions. Quite as good papers hs
published in other cities; but as ruls'
even the city papers are badly ealI' oi
and made up chiefly Of sensational
paragraphs worthy of Mark IVAN
There are notable exceptions to 'ili'
rule, but they are few.

Death Rides the Buffalo Down.

The kill of buffalo last winter. was
estimated at $4,000, which from the re-
port of hides shipped, is very close to
the mark. The kill this winter prom
ises to fall a long way short of last. A
dealer in this city who was buyer in
the field, says he has, so far, only 900
hides. The amount of the matter is
that buffaloes are rapidly becoming ex-
tinct, and unless the attempt made to
the animal succeeds, the
nOblest American game will pass into
history before the next census.

SENATOR EDMUNDs, on Wednes.
day succeeded in bringing before
the Senate his new anti-MormOn
bill which, among other things,
provides for the Acknowledgement
of female voters in this Territory.
Senator Hoar moved that this pro-
vision be stricken out, when Ed
munds defended it, claiming that
the provision referred to might
operate as against Mormon women
without, in any way, affecting the
question Of woman suffrage; and
further claimed that the female vote
here is controlled by males who de-
sire to retain political control. Judge
Edmunds has long enjoyed the re-
putation of being no less a logieian
than lawyer and a statesman; but
if he shall persist in the course he
has taken on the Mormon question,
it is likely to stamp him as being on
the verge of dotage. full of bigotry
and prejudice and devoid of the
humanitarian instincts which
should enter largely into the quail
ties of a statesman and an honest
man generally. The report is quite
interesting

THE BOISE idaho Democrat Is
making it uncomfortably warm for
Secretary Singiser, who is also del
egate-elect to the Forty-eighth Con-
gress. 1t began theIwar upon him
last lautumn, charging him with
appropriating to his own use money
belonging to the government, and ii
has kept up the assault until it has
now very nearly proven that the
gentleman is guilty of stealing. In
recent issue the Democrat prints
official and other statements, and
S. 4: "To sum it all up, it appears
that lie has appropriated to his own
use $1,000 or SIS, 900 of the funds set
aside fGrLegislatiYe expenses of the
twelfth session; and investigations
now going on in Washington are
also showing much rascality on his
part in the handling of funds of the
session of two years ago." Singiser
spent money freely during the late
campaign, and as he was generally
understood to be poor man, people
wondered who was "putting up"
for him. If the Democrat is correct
in its charges an explanation has
been found for the secretary's lib
erality.
