A BIG STEAL.
Chief Justice Vincent's Removal Was for Con-
nection With the Land Ring.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE removal Of
Judge Vincent, Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court of New Mexico, Is still an ami
mated topic in official circles, and the more
the matter is looked into the blacker does 1t
become. Fraudulent land entries have
formed fruitful source of investigation by
the Commissioner of the General Land
Office, and It is said there have been crooked
transactions all through the West, wherever
Government lands are located. In regard to
New Mexico II has been discovered that one
Inegriel Abeytia is put down as having &C
quired land in 1877 in New Mexico, aud of
having sold It in 1888 to Mr.. Dorsey, but the
Government officials now report that they
are unable to discover that there ever was
any such man as Abeytia in the Territory.
The property out there On which Col. Robt.
G. Ingersoll's famous log house is located,
Is also said to have been In dispute. Special
officers of the Interior Department are out
on still hunt for irregularities, and 1t is un-
derstood that further interesting disclosures
will be made. 1t is said that many men
who paid money for lands in good faith,
apparently, are to be ousted, as investigation
shows that fraud has been practiced by the
people selling them. The Government is
compelled to treat the people about like the
man who buys stolen watch without know
ing It was stolen. In other words there Is
no excuse for ignorance on the part of the
purchaser. 1t is now alleged that Congress-
man Springer, of Illinois, who has made
considerable investments In New Mexico,
has also interested himself . good deal in
appointments In the Territory, and that 1t
was through his endorsement and that of
Attorney General Garland that Vincent was
made Chief Justice also that the appoint-
ment of ex-senator Ross Is Governor was
in accordance with the same programme.
The influences that favored Vincent and
Ross were opposed by George W. Julian, but
Secretary Lamar finally succeeded In secur-
ing the Surveyor Generalship for the latter,
haping that he would uncover the rsscslity
of the alleged land ring. This he has par
TALLY succeeded in doing, the first result be-
ing vincent's removal. The President in
the meantime Is said TO be In highly indig-
nant frame of mind, not only because Of the
apparent want of good faith on the part Of
Mr.. Spriager, but of the reputed association
the Attorney General in this question able
transaction. and the end is not yet.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 9.-The U. S. Naval

that there Is no continent yet undiscovered

THE experts who examined the accounts
of Treasurer WEIGH, Of Silver Bow county,
found by comparison with the Butte City
Treasurer's collections during the same time,
that Treasurer Welch had In four years
failed TO collect $44 ,259.o3. All the monies
collected had been accounted for, except q
trifiing deficit through clerical errors, which
was made good. The trouble seems to have
been principally inefficient collection Of
license tax. It Is intimated an effort will
now be made TO collect these license arrears.
The total collections shown were $7O6, lOl.7s.
Messrs. Warren and Seckles were the experts
engaged In the investigation, and presented
a very complete, IlenItzed report.

call an extra session Of the Legislature next
winter. 1t appears that in the act creating

MINES AND MINING.

MINES AND MINING. s4
Gold was discovered In small quantities In
1851, but none to speak Of until 1862, when
mining commenced in earnest and on . large
scale, drawing people here from every State
In the Union, and from almost every coun-
try. For ten years the average yield Of gold
from placer diggings was from twelve to If
teen millions Of dollars per annum. This
class Of mines, being Of easy access and re-
quiring no capital, were rapidly exhausted.
As they gave out, gold and silver quartz
mining was commenced, which required
capital as well n muscle, and was at first
slow In development. Ten years ago the
yield from quartz mining was not over mil
lion dollars per anuum; now It Is rs stated,
about twenty-one millions. Mines and min
ing caused the settlement OF this country.
Stop our mining and you not only stop the
present surprising increase Of population,
progress and pros perity, bot In my opinion
the country would lose the greater portion
Of is inhabitants. II Is true that our agri-
cultural interests are large and flourishing,
our valleys being many snd fertile. and capa-
BILE of sustaining many more people than
now occupy them-probably twenty times -
many-but - before stated. the distance
from markets and the necessity Of irrigation

Gar who quite ignore his law. Over
fifty millions of peasants dispose If all
their civil suits in their own way. by
their own courts. If a peasant IS
caught stealing, if he drinks too much
or beats his wife for no cause, if he in
dulges in idlingwhile taxes are unpaid,
if he does not pay his debts, if he
oflends a priest Or somebody else-ip
all such and like cases the villagers sit
as a court of justice. Their verdicts
are exceedingly plain and sensible. In
all cases where damage or loss of prop
erty is involved, the guilty party is
bound to make good the damage or
loss. In the cases of sorae personal
oifcnsc, they usually resort to .sthe
birch porridg re-" as they call the whip
ping with rods. The verdicts of the
village courts are explicitly obeyed, for
the villagers have the power not only
to exclude obnoxious members from
the village, but even to send them to
Siberia for life.
Among the mountain tribes of eau
casus, if a murderer does not pay the
blood fine he is sure to pay with his
life, for the relatives of the victim
deem it their sacred duty to take q
bloody revenge. If he undertakes to
pay the fine the murderer takes the
best horse he can purchase and loads it
With such goods as costly arms, clothes
and money. Then placing a rope on
his w neck he leads the horse to the
family of his victim. If the mother or
wife of the dead man takes off the
rope from tho neck of the murderer, he
is safe. Having surrendered thehorse,
money and other presents, he returns
home. If, however, nobody takes the
rope from his neck, that means that he
is under the penalty of death. unless he
appease the wrath of the family
by costlier presents.
In Turkestan. according to the Kirgg-
hize notions of justice, q murderer may
cxpiate his crime by paying u blood
fine, which consists of . number of
camels, sheep and goats. In some
cases, however, the family of the VIC
tim refuse to accept any presents, and
then a judicial duel is arranged. The
murderer, armed to the teeth, appear
on his best horse. Two or three male
relatives of the victim, also armed and
or horseback, meet their foe. Then
begins a wild and awful scene. The
murderer tries to escape, or at least to
meet his foes separately in combat. If
the murderer remains alive until sunset
he is safe, but that rarely happens, and
sometimes one of the avengers loses his
life, too.
Some of the Mohammedans living in
Russia, in case OF murder, resort to
what they call Gods judgment. The
nearest and strongest Of the relatives
of the victim, with dagger in hand,
meets the murderer. II he kills his
man, the avcnger exclaims: .Now.my
soul shall have peace" and there the
matter ends. If, however, the muir
derer proves the best man, he is k
