not stop TO wipe perspiration from Its editorial

now picking their iints for the conflict of 1892.

NATURAL GAS SUPPLY.
Tbs Transfer of the Industry from Penn
syivania to Ohio.


syivania to Ohio.
TIE supply OF gas seems to beabun-
dant although rumors to thepontrary
are being circulated. The lSk&s<sup-
ply well in the world was recently
bored near Findlay. Ohio, producing
32,000,000 cubic feet of gas per diem,
the largest one in that vicinity hereto
fore producing 100000 cubic feet.
Astonishing and valuable discoveries
have been made recently in the line of
making gas from crude petroleum that
bids fair to become a rival OF natural
gas as regards expense and utility. 1t
is claimed by several parties that they
can produce it at cost of from one
to three cents per 1000 cubic feet and
TO prove their good faith one of these
companies has recently purchased q
gas plant in one of the Ohio cities and
has contracted to furnish the city with
gas for five cents per 1000 and this
plant is TO be running within the next
so days Chicago capitalists are con-
nected with this enterprise. The sue
cessful manufacture of fuel gas from
Grade petroleum would become i'm
mensely valuable to custom manufac-
turers and those of points remote from
large fuel supplies.
There appears TO be a difference in
the quality of natural gas as there is in
crude petroleum, the sulphurous ele-
mont varying in quantity with the diff
fcrent localities and the extent of its
injurious oxydizing effect on the con-
tinisg valves is yet to be ascertained.
There are millions of gallons of Ohio
oil stored in tanks which as yetare not
available for illuminating purposes on
account Of the excessive quantity of
sulphur itcontains. The Pennsylvania
oil containing q smaller quantity of
sulphur is readily and easily separated
into several valuable articles OF use but
the great affinity of'sulphur fertth ill.,
minating oil in the Ohio crudss oil
creates an obstacle which is as vet in
surmountable. At one refinery several
hundred thousand dollars have been
expended in experiments with view
to purifying the Ohio oil, but as yet
they have been unsuccessful. This oil
is at present used chiefly for fuel pur-
poses.
There is no great reason to doubt the
decline of the oil wells of Pennsylvania,
and the general transfer of the indus
try to Ohio. The daily production of
the Pennsylvania and New York fields
has fallen from 100000 barrels. to 49,
000barrels. The rich fields along Oil
Greek in the vicinity OF Bradford are
nearly dry. and the land is being
reclaimed for farming purposes. The
Ohio fields must become the center Of
the petroleum industry. MANY prac-
tical men assert that the State can give
a daily yield of 100000 barrels. Men
are at work every day removing the
tanks to Ohio soil.-Cor. AUany m

MINES SHUT DOWN.

The syndicate Group, owned by the Ana
conda Company Temporarily Closed.
BUTTE, March l5.-ISpecial 10 the ln-
dependent lon his arrival In this city
last evening Marcus DAILY gave orders for
the shutting down OF the Chambers Syndi-
cate mines, which are part Of the Ana
conda properties here. This step Is rem
dered necessary by the fire at the lower
works, and temporarily throws out 600
men. The 60-stamp silver mill at Ana
conda will continue TO run and the lower
concentration will be- partially operated.
Mr.. DAILY says that by crowdlng the fur
naces OF the upper works the output OF
matte can be kept up to nearly what II
was before. He will make no announce
ment as TO the plans OF the company until
he has had time TO consult with j. b. Hag-
gin. the principal owner Of the works. The
loss by the fire will foot up at least 81 ,0OO,-
900. The company did not carry a dollar
OF insurance. The main building destroyed
was 920x600 feet In dimensions,
and Its cost was stated by
one of the company's officers to-day
TO have been between six and seven hun
dred thousand dollars. II contained forty
OF the great Brueckner roasting furnaces.
Tho building Is q total loss, and from ex-
aminations made In the ruins to-day II Is
evident that at least fifty per cent Of the
machinery Is n loss. The massive fur
naces In part withstood the shocks OF the
falling timbers and the heavy masonry is
not much damaged, but II will take cool
million TO replace the building. The fire
was undoubtedly Of incendiary origin, AZ it
broke out In the center OF the ore house,
where there was no fire of any sort.

that the defendant is the person who COM
mitted the deed, you will determine OF
what grade OF criminal homicide he Is
guilty. II the killing was done, with the
design 10 kali formed before IL was done,
than he Is guilty Of murder in the first de.
gree; but II there is wanting the intention
10 kill but Il was still unlawful, aud with
malice af0rethought, he is guilty In the sec
ond degree. IL done In sudden heat OF
passion without malice aforeth0ught, II is
manslaughter.
In determining the weight you will give
10 the evidence OF the defendant you will
bear In mind that he testifies under the In.
tiuence OF this charge, and you will apply
the same tests 10 him In other respects that
you do 90 other witnesses.
IL he has proven = good character you
will give II due weight.
III you convict him OF murder In the FIRST
degree you will simply return verdict 10
that effect. For murder In the second de-
gree the punishment Is imprisonment for
not less than ten years, and may be ex-
tended for life. For manslaughter IL Is
imprisonment for not less than one or more
than ten years. The killing must have
been done ia Lewis aud Clarke county,
Montana territory, before the indictment
was found.
IL you find that Annie Lundstrom was
killed you will take into consideration any
evidence showing that the defendant Is
guilty, also any evidence tending 10 show
that II was done by some other person, and
II there be such, and you have reasonable
doubt as 10 whether II was done by the de-
fendant or some other person, II Is your
duty TO acquit. In this connection you
will inquire whether the defendant had a
motive in taking her life, and you will look
TO any threats. II the proof shows he made
any, towards the deceased. IL you find
that the alleged deceased was OF bad char

will designate OF what degree you convict

trial was quite relief TO jurors, officers
and spectators in its commencement, as
court did not convene until $50 o'clock,
but Judge Mcconnell, probably realizing
that time had been lost. did not adjourn at
noon. When u o'clock arrived Mr.. Ballet
was speaking and asked the judge II a re-
cess would be taken for dinner, and was
told TO go on, which he did. At O'Clock
Mr.. Ballet was still speaking. some OF the
jurors began TO yawn, Mr.. Ballieit looked
at his watch and went on as II he were just
starting In on new heat.
One by one the spectators dropped out 10
get dinner. but their places were speedily
filed by persons who had probably been
waiting on the outside. After the hours In
which all good Boulderites dine Mr.. Bal
liet was still speaking. The court room
was filed with interested spectators. The
jury had ceased growing restless and sat Ia
peaceful, resigned attitudes. Finally, as IL
was seen Mr.. Ballet had good deal 10
say. court adjourned for forty minutes, and
when that time was passed Mr.. Ballet re-
sumed his speech.
