A Good Report.

The reports from the mining field Of
the work oone during the past wear are
certainly encouraging and satisfactory
The value of the amount produced as
compared with results in other lines of
industry shows that the general de-.
preston felt in every productive enter
prise has but slightly affected the steady
development and regular output Of the
substantial industry Of mining. The
actual output Of the gold, silver and
copper mines of the country differs but
slightly from that Of the preceding year,
although the aggregate is somewhat less
on account Of the unprecedented low
price Of silver and lead during Il large
portion Of the year, In addition to he
well-maintained product, the number Of
mines developed to a regular and steady
point Of permanent production has been
largely increased, and the whole mining
field presents a marked improvement
in the direction Of business basis and n
better comprehension Of the real object
of mining operations. Absence Of clpi-
tai in many promising fields has had in
one sense a beneficial effect, and miners,
instead of locating claims To sell, have
more ~c,refi!ly expended their money
and labor in legitimate development,
with production more prominently out
lined a. the real object Of every effort
and expenditure. The wisdom and ex-
p%erienre of the past have been more
thoroughly and practically applied than
even before throughout the wide ex'en
OF mining territory. consequently Il
markel improvement is more generally
no iceable in every direction. Thrown
upon their own resources, the miner.
have not only shown their own strength
Of character AMI faith in the nj imate
success of their perseverance, but they
have established the cniricter and val
re Of mining ~ a reliable and prntiiab e
industry most thoroughly aud com
pletely. As now demonstrated by
practical operations under most ulfav-
Orable conditions, capital, wisely invest.

The estimate Of tn e number Of men

as given by MIR. Abe Boynton in his
speech before the House committee on
TerritoIie les, which he asserts to be two
or three thousand, seems to us some
what overdrawn. Not being in pos

npon this point, we respectfully refer
the matter to the Rapid City Journa

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: The
Aqueduct bridge disaster was to be ex-
pected. The whole structure is in rotten
condition, and hourly threatens the safety
of the travelling public. w. w. Dungan's
statements concerning the condition Of the
bridge are intended to allay suspicion, but
do not controvert facts. He says "the acct
dent is one which is liable to occur to any
similar structure" He should have said
"liable to occur to any similar rotten struc-
ture." In 1884 an engineers report plainly
indicated that the bridge was unfit for pub
lie travel. The honest engineer, Mr.. Albert,
jealous lover OF duty, permitted the
bridge company, iDcarnated by Mr.. Dun
aud sound IN a letter appended to his re-
port Of April, 1884, and this soothing
epistle, cut up into plausible fragments,
served to silence popular comment. The
promised repairs were OF the most super
llcial kind, and added little to the strength
Of the bridge.
Two thousand tons of water are suspended
in mid-air by woodwork so extremely de-
cayed that a knife blade may be pushed
into It as easily as into soft earth. The
main arches and chords arc so rotten that 1t
is considered by astute Mr.. DUNCAN to be
pecuniarily unsafe to repair. All that now
sustains this immense weight of water flow
ing through the canal is the sound hearts OF
timber several inches thick and the iron
braces. Last April the undersigned pro
cured, through resolution Of the Senate,
a careful examination of this rottlng pile,
and the engineers report contained the
word "rotten" no fewer than 1900 times
Since that report no repairs Of consequence
have been made except those which Mr.
| DUNCAN chooses to build upon public con
iidence by means of his explanatory 'cards'
through the press.

A Famous Firm,

Having a curiosity to see how an ex
tensive establishment was manipulated,
especially one so great as Duffy e. Co., of
Baltimore, the REPUBLICAN, representative
introduced himself by card, which proved
an open sesame, and he was soon exploring
the different departments, in company with
Mr.. s. b. Eicher. the courteous chief Of the
advertising corps. Surprise after surprise
was constantly met aud the representative
grew bewildered at the magnitude Of the
vast business. Mr.. Eicher was questioned
as to the cause OF success. His reply was !:

success for giving to humanity that which
