The Alliance not in Politics.

rr. C. ". Macune, business
manager Of the alliance exchange,
SAYS. The call for the Waco
meeting, as published Ill the News
Of a recent date, did not in any
wise mention the alliance, nor the
connection Of those who signed the
call with the alliance, nor in any
way use such language as could be
construed n indicating that the
meeting L. TO be held by direction,
or under the auspices Of the alll-
anoe. The gentlemen who signed
the call could not have acted by
authority Of the alliance, because
not O single one of them hold any
official position whatever in the
state alliance. and several Of them
have announced since IN public
print that they took that action
personally and not as an alliance
This they, as all other
citizens, had a right to do, and the
very fact that the alliance is strict
ly-non-parsisan prevents it as a
body from either indorsing or con
.lemning any partisan action on the
part Of lis members or any one
else. c. W. MAcUNK"

American tan is a fixed fact Tin
concentrated from the Black Hills
has been run into bars at Chica-
20 by the Harvey Peak Tin Min
ing Company, who have already in
vested over $1,000, 900 in the Black
Hill Tin mines, and are SO well
satisfied with their venture that
they are preparing to erectmachin-
ery and furnaces at their mines.
The discovery Of tin in the Black
Hills was first made in 1888. The
mines ere located near Rapid City,
on the Fremont and Elkhorn road,
which Is q branch of the northwes-
tern railway. There are two we'll
known tin districts III the hills,
The tin is found in well defined
fissure veins, varying in width
from one to over a hundred feet.
The percentage Of tin Is greater
than IN either the Saxony or Corn
wall mines, and the importance of
this discovery Is considered only
second IN importance to the dis
~ sery IF gold IN California. Sew
eral other SsaI7hy companies are
preparing 10 develop the Dakota
mines. with the prospect that the
United States viii not only pro-
duee It's own tin, but have some
for export
The active interest manifested
IN the Dakota tin mines has spread
10 Mexico, where there are five
mines very rich IN tin. DIR. J. W.
Ottinger has leased the property
0i the Durango Tin Mining COM
pany Of St Louis, and secured the
oHtion Of buying the property
within two years. Prominent St
Louis capitalists are negotiating
with DR. Ottinger to work the
mines, and tin from Mexico may
be on the market at no remote pc
nod Stoves and Hardware.

An experienced stockman who
has Just returned from a trip
through Western Texas says the
condition of stock and range in
that country is better now than he
has ever known it before, though
he has been in the state many
years. The rains have been so
plentiful throughout the country
that the grass, green and fresh, is
now high enough for easy grazing,
and the holes are all filed with
water enough to tide cattle over
any ordinary drouth. This gentle
man said that enough cattle were
being shipped out to remove fear
of the ranges being oyergrazed,
and there is no doubt that the
stock interests of the state present
an unusually encouraging aspect.
