A DISPATCH states that another grand
timber depreciation prosecution is recon-
mended to be commenced by q Special Agent
in Nevada sgainst the Eureka Consolidated
Company. This time it seems the trouble
came Of having cut underground or lodge
pole timber, and ignoring certain Land Office
rules. Why not prosecute Sparks for having
suspended operation Of the land laws of the
United States, which he At one time did? If
it is An indictable ofense to ignore q Land
Office rule it would seem indictable to sus-
pend the operation of q law. About the re-
suit of the case will be to throw thousands
of dollars of United States money away in a
fruitless case worked up by a Special Agent
to keep his position, while the government
will neither pay the witnesses nor Jurors nor
United States officers their absolute ex-
penses in appearing or serving papers.
