Exhausted Patience.

Persons having claims against a
deceased mans estate in this country
must feel some way similar to the
souls in Purgatory. II they ever get
anything Out of it, it is only after long
suffering and s~upplieation. There is,
however, a difference in favor OF the
Catholic halfway hell, you DO get out
sometime, and the prayers of the just
are said to be a potent factor i'll re-
leasing the imprisoned souls from
their probationary state; but in deceas-
ed estate cases, all the prayers in
heaven and earth wouldn't hurry up
the fiends who hold the bulge on you.
These reflections come to us after
months of striving to secure some
stocks held in trust by the McConkey
estate.

THE cArrPBELL PROCESS
A New Method OF Treating Rebellious
Ores.

The San Francisco Post calls the
attention of mining men to a very
important discovery for successfully
treating so-called "base' and Hrebel-
lious'' ores containing gold or silver,
and known as the Campbell process.
1t says This process bids fair to not
only create a stir IN the mining world,
revolutionizing this important inter-
est, but to add millions of dollars to
our circulating medium. Heretofore,
gold and silver ores, carrying in ex-
cess the bases OF arsenic, anthony,
zinc, lead, tellurium sulphur and iron
under certain conditions, have baffled
the skill of our most intelligent and
practical mill men. These pres could
only be treated on a small scale In
the ~labratory of the metallurgist. The
successful and practical workings of
the Campbell process of a great vari-
ETY. of rebellious ores from different
parts of the country, that have been
recently SEN for treatment, has been
daily watched and thoroughly inves-
tigated by such men as Captain Sam
uel Il. Curtis of Comstock fame, MI.
James Nee, one of our best known
and most practical millwrights, smelt-
ers and mill men on the coast, James
IL. Crossman, a thorough and prac-
teal miner, Professor Peck, as well as
several other well-known experts and
mining men. These gentlemen have,
after a careful examination and in
spection of the workings, come to the
conclusion that this process will be
generally adopted at no distant day
by both smelters and mill men for all
ores OF this class for the following
reasons:
l.. They can be worked much
cheaper than by any known process,
giving much better results.
2. The ores, regardless Of assay
values, can be worked to within five
per cent. of a fire assay, often giving
a better result.
3. The process serves as a concen-
traitor, whereby the lead bullion can
be enriched from low grade ores, by
returning, to any desired value, at
but little increased cost, thereby max
ing a great saving in transportation
and refinery charges.
4. Ores low In lead and rich or poor
in silver values, that are too lean IN
lead TO be smelted and carry too much
to be treated by roasting and milling,
can be by this process economically
treated and their full values of
precious metals obtained, as well as a
large portion of the lead in the ore,
which, by milling, would be lost.
A representative of the Post, who
visited the works where the process
is in successful operation, says: alt is
estimated that the cost for roasting
ores with petroleum for fuel is only
50 cents per ton, while by the most
improved furnaces now in use the
cost is from 81 to "a per ton. The act
nal cost for treating 1914 tons of ore
that was worked the twenty-four
hours previous to our visit, including
all expenses from the rockbreaker to
the bullion product, was S. 54 per
TONI

BLOODY WORK AT OsCEoLA.

-
r. C. O'Neil Shot Dead, and His
Two sen Dangerously Wounded,
While in custOdylof the Officers.
A messenger reached here from Os-
ceola Friday night about Q o'clock,
bringing the startling intelligence that
at half-past one o'clock yesterday
morning a mob of nine masked men
broke into the room where O'Neil and
his sons were beng kepta as prisoners,
pending an examination before the
Justic of the Peace at Osceola, on the
charge of recently waylaying and
shooting Mr.. Bassett, and commenced
firing into them as they lay in their
beds. The old man was shot square
through the head and killed instantly.
The two boys were shot in several
places, n in the head, the other
through the small of the back and
thigh. The messenger informed US
that there vas little hope for the elder
of the boys, though the younger may

they were shot down were in charge
of the officers OF the law, and our. in
formant states, one of the OiNeil boys
says they (the officers) led the mob
and took part in the shooting also.
Constable Matson had left the pris-
oners in charge of Deputy Sheriff Al.
Nuckols, and had gone after the bal
ance of the O'Neil family To have their
evidence al the examination. During
the afternoon previous to the tragedy
Mr.. Cleveland happened in town and
Nuckols accompanied him to Greg
ory's, turning his prisoners owe to
two deputies, whose names we
could not learn. The messenger
stated to us that the citizens Of
Osceola were Mortified next morn
ing at finding the body of O'Neil out
in the street with his clothes on fire.
The whole affair Is horrible, and no
matter what ~provocation the O'Neils
may have given in the past, Friday
mornings bloody work at Oseeola is
a stain upon The hitherto fair fame of
our Spring Valley neighbors. 1t is
not the shooting down of these men
in itself that so strongly deserves
condemnation so much as the man
ner in which it was done. The VIC
Tins were disarmed and in custody
OF the officers of the law, ready to
stand their trial for the crime with
which they were charged, and to take
advantage of their defenceless position
and shoot them down as they were
looks more like the work of savages
than OF enlightened and law-abiding
citizens.
After being wounded the younger
of the boys escaped from the mob,
took to the sagebrush and a about
two miles, decorating his bare feet in
a fearful manner.
The general feeling here in regard
to the affair is, that the O'Neils have
for years been a terror to their neigh
bors, and that the people Spring VAL
ley were justified in Kidding the COM
munity of them, though the name
of doing so is deemed harsh and un-
lawful. Further intelligence may
change public sentiment materially
regarding the tragic affair.
DIR. Tufford left here at IL o'clock
last night for the scene of the tragedy
To attend the wounded boys.

down To the spring to quench his thirst, when

THE WHISKY TRADE.
Meeting of the Western Export Asso-
citation Mt indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 9.-The Western E1-
port Association, composed OF the whisky
dealers Of. the Mississippi Valley, met in this
city to-day. Abont fifty distilleries we're rep
resented. The object of the conference was
to determine upon the continuance of the
pool regulating the production of the firms
represented, and to consider the question of
an immediste reduction in the production.
A committee was appointed, and reported
tha following resolution, which was adopted
IS the sense OF the meeting:
Resolved That all distillers who can DO SO shall
at oace reduce their capacity far possible
til June LIST, and that after that date it shall be
obligatory on the members of the association
to reduce production 10 twenty per cent of their
capacity.
The distillers are now running only forty
per cent. of their capacity, and by the terms
of the resolution wifl, al told, run oply 30,-
600 bushels per DAY alter June 1st. The
action of the ceuv niiOn was a necessity, in
The light Of the state of the whisky business.
The whisky now fn bond exceeds by more
than 100000 gallons all future demands in
sight, and the distillers are all ths
time producing heavily, caused, as Secretary
Stevens explained, by the barns of the dis
tillers heing full Of cattle 10 be fed. After
June these cattle will be thrown on the mar
ket, and a reduction al the distilleries may
then be accomplished. Mr.. Stevens said that
during the next year Kentucky alone must
| take Il, 100000 gallons OF whisky out Of
bond, 1000, 900 more than WAS ever taken in
any former year, and many millions more
than can be conveniently exported to Ber.
muda or other points and returned to bond
