HASTY JUDGMENT.
Some Decided Opinions ON an Undetermined
Question.

Probably nearly every man In the West
has been asked the question, "wkat do you
think Of the C9ur d'Aiene mines ?" We nc
knowledge the interrogation some score OF
times, and have merely TO say that there has
not been sufficient development yet for any
one TO express a welLfounded opinion upon.
We notice that railroad companies, town
companies, "gold field" newspapers, and
other interested parties, are tanning with
glittering generalities the flame OF the big
gest and widest stampede that has occurred
since the days of pixies Peak" What are
they doing IL on? There has only been one
claim opened and worked, and nobody out
side of those interested knows whether IL liz
.'wages diggings" or good for $50 day. We
notice on the other hand that some parties
are writing out that the mines are "a fraud"
"the biggest humbug on EARTH" etc, etc,
and that many newspapers in localities be-
ing drained by the stampede are publishing
these letters with display heads, and taking
them for the texts of denunciatory bomilies.
whaS are they doing IL on? There have not
been half-dozen shafts sunk to bedrock In
the whole CGur dAlene camp; snow Ii so
deep they couldn't be seen IL nuggets were
sticking In the grass roots, and timber Is so
thick even the trees can't fall down to ex-
pose reot earth. Is IL not evident that no
one can know vet whether the country In
good or bad? We therefore take no stock
in these declarations that the country Is "a
fraud" and very little more In the DECLARE
rions that IL liz n good camp. There has been
gold found on rim-rock, and gold found on
bedrock on 'the Widow Claim" That is
evidence Of its being gold country. But
how rich, how extensive, how available for
working, no one knows; and no one can
know until IL is better prospected. The
opinion of experienced miners is, that IL all
the creeks alleged TO be gold bearing are
good and all are worked. the mines and de-
pendent industries might accommodate 5000
or 5000 men. The chances are largely against
this: IL is more likely the extent Of paying
ground will prove limited, as the history OF
mining camps generally suggests. The STAN
prde IL driving men there at the rate OF 5000
or 5000 n month, and very little mining can
be done until May. Provisions are high In
I'll. mines, and must for some time remain
no. Railroad agents, conductors and Others
having opportunities To know, estimate that
three. fourths of those going 70 the Ceur
dAIenes are poor men, with perhaps not
sufficient means to subsist month unless
th-y obsaia smpioymsnt. These things TO.
gether mean hard times for great many,
and suffering as well rs disappointment, un-
less the mines prove much greater than the
most sanguine anticipate. This much APP
pears certain, but whether the cnur d'Alene
is another ophir, or fraud, no man can yet
say as a fact.

FROM ANACONDA.
Lively Times with the Little Guns There.

Lively Times with the Little Guns There.
Under-Sheriff McTague returned from An
aconda yesterday, and says he has been kept
busy looking after the gun business OF that
burg.
On Saturday last, on Mill creek, about 8
miles from Anaconda, David Neagle shot
man named Maginnis with 3S-calibre Colts
revolver. The ball entered the breast, rang
ed down, and has not been found. 1t Is con-
sidered a very dangsro wound. The his
tory related is, that Neagle has wood con-
tract for the Anaconda works, and had been
supplying number of wood-choppers with
grub; that some of them were in arrears for
supplies furnished; that Maginnis started
away from the camp in arrears, and 1t was
understood was going to Cosur d'Alene; that
Neagle followed him and ordered him back.
During the conversation Maginnis had
pocket knife in his hand. Neagle says Ma
ginnis made at him with the knife. Any how
Neagle shot him AZ aforesaid. Neagle was
arrested, taken before Justice wIer, and
held in 5000 bond to answer to the grand
jury. Bonds given.

rode his horse on the sidewalk, and attempt.
ed to back him into Johnny Roach's saloon.
Roach went out and demonstrated. William
Thomas also attempted to suppress Sullivan,
and the two got into fight Howell Thomas
insisted on Sullivan riding into the saloon.
Howell Thomas exhibited pistol. Then
Eph. Thomas, (no relation, however, came
out and endeavored 10 take the gun from
Howell, to prevent mischief In the melee
the pistol was discharged. The ball passed
through the muscle of the right arm of a by
stander named Hiuklepaugh, and struck
Samuel Tyler below the knee, making bad
wound Tyler at the time was standing in
side his own store reading n letter. Mcragne
arrested Sullivan and Billy Thomas for dis
turbing the peace, and Howell Thomas for
drawing and exhibiting a deadly weapon.
Sullivan was fined SIS and costs, and in de-
fault is in Jail. VIM. Thomas was discharged
Howell Thomas was fined 500 and costs,
which he paid.
The better citizens of Anaconda say they
have had enough Of this kind of work, and
there il liable to be quick retribution IL an
other shooting scrape occurs. Hinklepaugh
is in st. Joseph's Hospital, Deer Lodge, and
Tyler is being cared for at Joseph supre'
nant's, Anaconda.

DEAD IN HIS CABIN.
A Man Named Davis Found In Washington
Guich.


Sheriff McMaster received Saturday dis
patch stating the body of a dead man had
been found in his cabin on Washington
Gulch, and requesting the presence Of the
Coroner. From Mr.. Helm we learn that last
fall man named Davis, from Glendale, was
prospecting about the head of Washington
Gulch, some four or FIVE miles above the
camp, and occupied cabin there. He was
q morose man, stunning and repelling asso-
citation, and but little was known of him.
He was last seen about Christmas. Recently
some letters arriving for him, his queer ways
were spoken OF and the question was raised
What had become of him. Some one said
that he had seen his cat come down the
gulch early i'm January. Messrs. John Keat-
ing and Robert Thompson concluded last
Friday to go up and look after him. The
cabin was found showed almost under, and
the door was closed and fastened inside. Re-
moving a light of glass, they found saw
inside and with IL cut out log, so the door
could be opened. Inside they found Davis
lying dead. The clothes were torn on one
hip and the hip was blackened, but whether
from blow or decomposition could not be
known. There was also some blood on the
floor. Whether suicide or foul play had
brought about his death they did not try to
determine, considering it the duty Of the
Coroner. As Coroner Strsng did not 60
over, IL Is presumed Justice Of the Peace
acted.

What of November?

What of NovemberP is the ques-
ton that both Republicans and
Democrats are soberly asking them
selves. When the October field is
surveyed, it is seen that the Re
publicans have saved their always
reliable Republican State Of Ohio
in national contest. by reduced
majority on the largest vote ever
cast, and that the Democrats have
saved their lately reliable Demo
cratic State by the largest majority
ever given against the combined
Republican Greenback vote. The
October battle therefore, decides
nothing beyond the odds of prestige
with the Democrats.
1t may now be regarded as rea-
sonably certain that the following
named States will vote as classified /:

MARSHALL ATKINSON
Acquitted ofthe Charges brought
Against Him.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. I2.-
The long delayed report of the
Springer Investigating Committee
in regard to the conduct of United
States Marshal G. w. Atkinson's
office has been sent to the Depart
ment of Justice. The investiga-
ton was made by Examiners Balm
and Nightingale and their report,
which is quite voluminous, Com
pletely exonerates Mr.. Atkinson
of the charges against him..
The report, after setting out that
the investigation was made at the
instance Of Mr.. Springer's Con-
gressional Committee, says: 1--WE
have endeavored in an absolutely
impartial manner to discharge our
full duty, and as our report will
deal in detail with all the matters
which the said committee had de-
sired to have examined into, as
well as that upon matters relating
to the conduct and accounts of the
court officers in West Virginia, as
the result Of the investigation, we
think it but just to the said COM
mittee to say now that they or
their informant or informants must
have been imposed upon for the
purpose of causing an investiga-
ton, which, though we think it
would prove most wholesome to
the said officers by reason Of the
instruction theylreceived from us,
nevertheless resulted in the unde-
niable proof that, with the excep-
ton of a few and minor points, the
allegations contained in said men,
oranda were not sustained. but UNI
questionably emanated in part from
some personal enemies belonging
to the same political party as the
Marshal of the said District, who
had formerly held Federal posi-
tons, some Of whom were removed
from Office through the instrument
tally Of Marshal Atkinson, and
one Of whom, Maj. Hedgeman
Slack, has formerly held the Office
now filed by Mr.. Atkinson. I"

sNew Domf nfons's Prod ced by
steam.

The first instance in which steam
has ever been applied to printing
press in Morgantown, will be wit
messed in the Office of the New Do
MISIoN in the course of week.
The engine that is to run the New
DOMINION press is already on hand
little beauty, which has just been
received from New York, and is only
waiting to be set up and started to
show what perfect piece of ma
chinery it is. Nothing so pretty,
nothing so compact, nothing so grace
full in the line Of machinery has ever
been seen in Morgantown. 1t is
picture to look upon. We wish there
was a cut of it to print on the first
page of this issue, that all our readers
might have an idea of what a pretty
little engine it is. Altogether. if we
exclude the. boiler, it is not much
larger than an ordinary sewing ma
chine. Yet this compact piece of
machinery is so perfect in all its parts
as to represent ''two horsepower"
and will run our mammoth press and
our job presses all at the same time,
and have reserve power enough to
run another small printing Office.
just think of it: Steam Printing
Office in Morgantown.
In week or two the subscribers
of the New DOMINION will have their
county paper printed by steam, oper-
ating one of the most perfect engines
made, and a printing press that is
not excelled for it's kind in any coup
try office in America.
We propose to give the people of
Monongalia a model county paper.
We are thankful for the appreciation
and favor with which the New Do
MINIoN is being received, and we in
tend to show our patrons that we, in
turn, can appreciate their liberality.
We intend to be up to the times, and
will give them more for their money
than they can get in any county pa
per published in the State. If you
want to be posted in your local af-
fairs, you will have to take the New
DOMINION.
