Gen. Shelby submitted to be inter-
viewed by a Sedalia Democrat reporter,
his views regarding MI. Skinker and the
county bonded debt being given to the
public in last Sundays issue. Thegen-
eral defends Mr.. Skinker, and thinks
his claim ought to be paid. He says
the bonds in question are the L. & st.
L. r. r. bonds, and makes an argu-
ment to prove their legality. 1t is
hardly worth while at this time to open
that question, when nearly all of those
bonds have long since been compro-
missed, and when as a matter Of. fact the
Cochran Fleming bonds which Mr..
Skinker is suing on are of a totally diff
fersnt issue and character. No one
disputes Mr.. Skinker's right as an at
torney to prosecute suits against this
county, and as to Judge Krekel the
kindest feeling has existed here for
him for q long time. He il just about
as strong in his expression of opinion
against those who viii not accept the
compromise as is the attorney of the
county. The ground of objection to
/ Mr.. Skinker's course is, that he perse-
cutes rather than prosecutes Lafayette
county while he is a paid officer of the
state; and that in the township bond
cases he endeavors to bring into disre-
pute the decision Of the court of which
he is q servant. The voice of the peo-
pie Of Lafayette county on the general
bond question was heard through the
convention which sat frequently during
an entire year, secured the necessary
legislation, and inaugurated the COM
promise. Their views regarding MIR.
Skinker were expressed in the mass
meeting held q few weeks ago, at
which the resolutions condemning his
course passed by a unanimous and very
emphatically cast vote.

The telegraph operators Of the coun-
try have now been on a strike for over
a week, at great Inconvenience to the
public. They went out calmly, dispas-
sionately, but detsrminedly, from New
York to San Francisco, 1000 Of them,
and 1000 women-all the members of
the Brotherhood of Telegraphers. The
strike was continental, and while there
arc still other operators at work, indie
pendent ones, practically the mammoth
business of the Western Union Tele-
graph company has been rendered of
little account. The losses Of the COM
pany are said to amount to 5000, 900
per day. The strikers make many
complaints, all of them serious ones.
They claim that their pay has been re-
duced time after time by a sliding
scale that always acts against the oper-
ator and in favor of the company, and
that as the earnings Of the company
have increased the pay of its employees
has been decreased. They also COM
plain that their hours of labor are too
long, and that they are allowed no pay
for Sunday work. The complaints
seem to be well founded, and they have
behaved in the strike generally in such
q way as to command the respect and
sincere sympathy of the public. Fol
all interests alike we hope the differ.
ences between the operators and tn,
company may be fairly settled by arbi.

Special Dispatch to the MINER.
HELENA, August Is.
The much heralded lecture by
Henry Ward Beecher took place at
the amphitheatre this evening. The
people seemed to turn out en- masse,
and the amphitheatre, which seats
1890 people, was crowded. The lee
ture on 1.-THE Reign of the Common
People" is replete with popular
sentiment, and was much APP
plauded by the audience. The
acoustic properties of the hall proved
to he excellent and the rich melodious
tones of the great pulpit orator filled
its immense space SO that every word
was distinctly heard in the remotest
portions of the room. Tomorrow
morning Mr.. Beecher and wife, &C.
companied by a few friends will be
taken by special train to the end of
the track at Sweetlands, where they
will be met by carriages which will
convey them to Deer Lodge.

The Basin Flume.

Through the courtesy of VIM.
Warfield the MINER reporter was
yesterday afforded an opportunity to
inspect the Basin fiume for nearly its
entire length. The importance of
this enterprise is understood by but
few. Fourteen miles in length, con-
Meeting the Colorado and Montana
smelter with one of the finest bodies
of timber in Montana, with a capaci-
ty of 800 cords Of wood every twelve
hours, and virtually doing the work
of eight hundred two. horse teams,
the fume may be regarded as n of
the most important enterprises
which has ever been in
a%ugurated in Butte. The supply
of water just now is a little short, but
IA miles of c%ordweod, floating rapid
]y through the flume, in never
ceasing motion upon the shallow
stream, suggests some idea Of the
amount of wood which may be hand
led in the spring when the water
supply is more plentiful. AS a me-
chanical structure the f1ume is a COM
plete success, the grade being perfect
and the leakage very slight. A pile
of wood 300 feet long, 40 feet wide
and 8 to 10 feet high already lies at
the Colorado smelter dump, as a re-
suit Of the recent trial run. One
side of the flume is provided with a
gangway, upon which seven
men, spikes in hand
patrol their beat of two miles each,
watching the steady stream with its
burden Of cordwood. and by timely
use of their pixies preventing gorges
or jams of the wood. The results of
the enterprise, so far, have been en-
tirely satisfactory to the projectors,
who expect to make a run of $50, OOO
cords next season.

GUILDS SIGNAL.

Two low whistles, quaint and clear,
That was the signal the engineer
That was the signal that Guild, It's said,
Gave to his wife at Providence,
As through the sleeping town, and thence
Out in the night,
On the light,
Down past the farms, lying white, he sped.
As a husbands greeting, scant no doubt.
Yet to the woman looking out,
Watching and waiting, no %serenade,
Loye-song or midnight roundelay
Said what that whistle seemed to say:
"Io my trust true,
So, Love, to you.
Working or waiting, good night it said.
Brisk young bagmen, tourists fine,
Old commuters along the line,
Breakmen and porters glanced ahead,
Smiled as the signal, sharp, intense,
Pierced thrOuge the shadJ Ws OF II Ovl-enee-
Nothing amiss-
~NOthing.-iti is
Only Guild calling his wife" they said.
and Winter the old refrain.
Rang DER the pillows Of ripening grain,
Pierced through the budding bows oerhead,
Flew down the track when the red leaves burned
Like living Goals from the engine spurned,
Sang as 1t flew:
ITO our trust true,
First of all duty-Good night" 1t said.
And then, one night, it was heard nc more,
From %Stonington over Rhode lsiand shore,
AS they turned in their beds; The engineer
Has ouce forgotten his Midnight cheer
One only knew,
To his trust true,
Guild lay un1 er his engine dead.

Copper Matte.

Copper ore is at present attracting
considerable interest on the east fork
of Wood river, Idaho.
The Union Consolidated Company
in Tennessee has IL shaft furnaces; 2
reverbratory; l for refining.
copper was discovered at the loca-
ton of the Ducktown mines in Ten
nessee, in 1913 by a party washing tor
gold in a branch.
The Rico News says: There are
quite a number of mines tributary to
Rico, COL, which produce copper in
considerable quantities.
During the year 1855 the mines at
DucktOwn, Tenn, sold ore valued at
over 1000, 900. In 1855 the first
smelling works were erected, but the
ore was only concentrated into a rich
matte or regulus, thus saving in
transportation.
Last year Arizona produced over
1900, 600 pounds Of copper. Thus
far during the present year the in
crease has been 81 per cent. and now
furnaces are going up. It will be a
safe estimate that Arizona's output
will be at least %, 0O0, 600 pounds for
1883.
In 1858, eleven Of the mines at
Ducktown, Tenn, were consolidated
under one management, and called
the Union Consolidated Company.
This company held a property con-
sisting of 2,575 acres. In 1860 refin-
ing furnaces were erected, and the
shipment ofingot copper commenced.
