The regular monthly pay day at the
Eta mine occurred on Mondav. the 18th
inst. A sum approximating $20, 900 was
disbursed, which had the effect OF
further enlvening camp that was al
ready second 10 none in the Black Hills
in point Of busy life, and rustling activ-
ity. This company, we learn, has now
about l25 men on their pay rolls, which
is mere modicum Of the number that
will be employed in the future, should
this great enterprise prove q financial
success, which no man Of ordinary
knowledge Of tin mining, not blinded by
a prejudice that circumscribes his vision
to the narrow limits Of his own district,
can for moment doubt. When this
progressive company shall have added
to their facilities for mining and reduc-
ing tin ore, the first plant in America
for the manufacture Of tin plate from
native ores, which is in every respect a
feasible and reasonable supposition that
she will at some future time, having iron
in great abundance of easy access, and
every requisite to the success Of such an
enterprise, the number Of her en-
ployes, from our standpoint, can
scarcely be estimated, and the benefits
arising from such an industry would
probably transcend in Importance any
other mining enterprise that has yet
been inaugurated in the history of
America.
The establishment of such an enter
prise as above referred to, will doubt
less, in the minds of many who have no
knowledge Of the true merits Of the
property and its surroundings. be deem
ed wholly imaginary, and the thought
induced by an undne enthusiasm not
warranted by the facts in the case but
having taken the pains to acquire full
and complete knowledge OF the situa-
ton, We do not hesitate to pronounce it,
clearly within the range of human
probability. May the tardy wheels Of
time, 10y some favorable influence he ac-
celerated. in bringing us into full reali-
zation Of a boon SO much desired.

The Free Traders have come and gone
at Chicago, and like the doctors with
malaria, all the ills of the body polite
are ascribed to protection. We are not
going into discussion, but when they
claim that 100000 people are out Of
work in this country from over produc-
ton how is it that 100000 to find relief
by importing more Of the same kind of
goods by opening our ports to them :?
We may be dull, or the rule Of simple
addition may be at fault, hut that is the
way it looks to us. Now if somebody
like David A. Wells or Frank Hurd had
got up and said: There are 1000 900
men in America out of work simply be
cause there are moro goods on the
market tnan can be consumed, there
fore We demand that our ports be closed
to all foreign goods until this surplus
has been used up and our own people
set TO work." we could understand what
was meant. But TO say these people are
out of work and the way to get them
employed is to open the country to
more supplies is beyond our mathe.

The town of Oelrichs is fast assuming
metropolitan proportions. Quite n
number Of really handsome residence
cottages have been built during the past
two months, thus demonstrating faith in
the successful future Of the place. The
Anglo American Cattle company have
ventured upon novel method Of pre-.
pairing cattle for the early spring
market. Two immense stables have
been erected, wherein are 600 head of
steers, each steer having separate stall,
with feed and water boxes Immediately
in front of each steer and hay racks
over head An ingenious plan for fur
nishing water and feed, consists Of q
series Of chutes and troughs extending
from end to end Of the stable which the
steers can reach at pleasure. The water
is supplied from large tank situate at
the head of the stable and is heated by
steam to q milk warmth. The corn is
ground into meal in the building used
as an elevator and which is also the en-
CINE house for the motive power used
for pumping water and grinding the
feed. Everything about these immense
stables betokens great degree Of skill
in saving of labor. All the feeding and
care Of the cattle being done under
cover and in thoroughly systematic
manner. Bv cutting into an embank-
ment the sides and one end ofthe stable
are i'm manner under ground and fully
protected from the weather, and it is
claimed water WILL not freeze in any
part of the stable even in the coolest
weather. The steers are three and four
years old. Each steer being fed one
peck of ground feed day and the
estimate 10 made that 25 bushels Of such
feed will fatten steer ready for mar.
ket. Some 200 head Of hogs roam a,
will through the stables and seem to be
enjoying their fare equally as we'll as the
cattle.
This venture is an entirely new de.
parture in this section of country, and
may be deemed purely experimental,
but If carried out to success and 1t
proves profitable undertaking, we
may confidently expect TO see other
large cattle companies follow the lead
of the Anglo-American, and by 80 doing
open up home market for all the graf Il
that can be raised by our farmers north
Of White river, and away so nth Of that
line into Nebraska.

LAW N ORDER.

A Secret Organization Which Proposes 10
Maintain Unconstitutional Minute-Men
Ready on Call to Fight Strikes ana
Hoycotts-The American Law and Order
League.
ST.. LOUIS, July 2.-several very import
ant meetings of the leaders OF the Law
and Order League have been held re-
Gently both here and at Sedalia, Mo. A
prominent officer OF the league says that
these meetings nave been much more
general in character thar those previously
held, the intention being to establish an
organization from one end OF the country
to the other in support OF law and order,
which can be largely massed ii necessary
at one point. For instance, in case OF
trouble IN st. Louis with which the league
here could not cope, the preparations
now being made are for the purpose OF
enabling the local officials to call on Chi
cago or any other place for reinforce
ments, che members being bound to am
swer Auch a call at n moments notice.
The organization, in this respect, is partak-
ing more of the character of national min
ute-nen, though the members say they
hope they will never be called on to per
form that kind of duty. AS a means OF
getting the forces out on q few moments
notice, the addresses OF all members,
business and residence, are taken. The
league, which had it's origin in Sedalia,
has been rapidly fathered by some of the
leading secret society men in the country,
Legion OF Honor members and Ma.
sons being prominent, and the
workings and management OF these
societies have been consolidated and
the best points called out. In order to Sc
cure q large and effective membership as
soon as possible, and at the same time
keep it secret, they have been very succesr
full in the latter regard, and it is only with
the greatest labor thai any thing reliable
as to its workings can be ascertained. Be
ginning in Sedalia and spreading t, De
Soto and Hannibal, Mo-, it was soon
taken up by st. Louis, when it real
ly began to boom and spread rapidly
to %carondelet, Clarksy,lie, Crystal City,
Mo-; Belleville. ILL.,; Chicago, Jackson,
NTH; Evansville, Ind; st. Paul. Minneap-
oils, Rochester, N. Y; Milwaukee and Bal
timore, in about the order named. and is
o gaining a strong ioothold in Iowa
and Kansas and other States. With the
points named it has reached Il membership
