rHE ANARCHISTS,
As ses Forth By = Chicago Grand jury.

As SGT Forth by . Chicago Grand Jury.
Chicago, June s. The grand jury reported
to Judge Rogers this afternoon. The re-.
port deals entirely with anarchist cases
which the Jury has been considering Tor the
past three weeks. The jury reports:
It has found true bills only against such
persons as have been instrumental in caus-
ing the riots, and refused to find bills

Is the first appearance OF dynamite
as q factor In the criminal annals OF
this state In our opinion, while the dan
ger has been imminent and serious, it has
been in the popular mind largely magnified,
and the number OF these enemies OF law
and order greatly overestimated. Anarch-
list conspiracy, as shown by evidence, had
no real come ction with the strikes or
labor troubles, but 1t simply made use OF
the excitement incident to those troubles
as Its opportunity. We have been as
sured that the total number OF anarch-
lists and nihilists in the country from
whom danger need be apprehended prob
ably does not exceed from FORTY to
fifty men. Associating with them and part
~ subject to their Observation-Disclosures there
are. perhaps, few hundred mon who would
be dangerous in exact proportion to the
extent that they are made to believein the
power OF their leaders, and in the weakness
OF the law. Then again there are peshap s
from 2, 600 to 3, 900 men variously classed
as socialists, communists, etc, addicted to
visionary theories in regard to matters OF
government, but who are not necessarily
dangerous and inimical to the peace and vel
fare OF society SO long as the
law is enforced. The attack On the
police on the evening OF May
was the result OF deliberate conspiracy.
This force Of disorganizers had very per-
fect organization OF its own, and it was
chiefly under the control OF men who were
connected with the publication OF their
English and German newspaper orga nj, The
Alarm and the Arbeiter Zeitnng. So exag.

SURVEYS.

The careless and inaccurate manner in

been conducted is becoming a frequent
source of complaint as the mistakes and
omissions are brought to light The
country is RAPIDLY being taken up, and the
errors consequent upon misdiscription Of
the land owing to ina bility to discover the

and improvement of his homestead or

surveyor to do the work Tor which the
government has already paid. In the re-

What the Chicago Mining Reriels says
Of the general outlook of the great indus
try it represents, is peculiarly appropriate
to its present prospects in Wyoming.
After describing the evils which have
combined to ren1er mines unproductive
in the recent past, the Rerielo continues {:
THE tide of speculative activity, with
the influx of capital and rush of excite
ment suddenly turned and was withdrawn
leaving the mining field. not only without
this support, but also somewhat under a
cloud Of niisapprehension and misrepresen-
tation. Gradually, however, one false
illusion after another was removed and
the real object Of all investment and de-
yelopmens came more prominently into
view. a clearer view of the field showed
that not all was uncertainty and prospec-
tive value, but that here and there, in
almost every locality throughout the wide
extent Of mineral bearing territory, there
are substantial evidences of well laid plans
and carefully considered lines Of
operation which have been steadily
prosecuted according to the s%trictest
business methods toward a definite OBJ
iect Many Of these have reached a point
Of profitable production and clearly de-
monstratc the wisdom and business ability
Of the management. Others are 80 far
outlined that it Is easy to see that dcvel-
opement will bring permanent and profit
able returns.
With the skill and experience now
available, the wide and varied fields from
which to choose, the many improvements
in appliances and methods, the better
facilities of roads and markets, the large
reduction in cost of production and many
other points of advantage all point to the
productive industry Of mining as one Civ
ing the strongest and most positive as-
surances Of sure and generous returns for
the wise investment of labor and capital. "
