Over the Hin.

The Sioux City Journal of the 2lst
inst. says:
Fifty tons of very rich tin ore, the
product Of the Willow Creek tin mines,
near Rapid City, have been shipped to
Swansea, Wales, for reduction.
IL the Journal had stated that ten
tons of very rich tin ore, the product Of
the Willow Creek tin mines, near Gus
ter City had been shipped, 1t would
have expressed, substantially, the facts
in the case. The mines referred to are
but mile and half distant from Gus
ter, and from Rapid City they are "over
the hill" and more than forty miles
away. The Journal seems slow to learn
that there are no tin mines near Rapid
City except on paper.

! representative OF TIE Harhey feak lin
Company, who probably has good rea-
sons for concealing his identity, has
been telling reporter Of the New York
Herald's London edition some queer
yarns about that enterprise. Our con
temporary's anonymous informant says
the Financial News has been denounc-
ing the mines. The Financial News
has done nothing Of the sort, but the
Financial News did, some two years ago,
resist and defeat the attempt of Mr..
James Wilson and his partners to sell
to the British public number Of min
ing locations untried and unimproved,
on the basis Of a capital Of G2,000, 600
I'VE have issued no prospectus nor
sought the public ear" continues the
nameless representative. Surely the
Herald knows that in June, 1887, the
Harney COMPANY l;.-i..-, - :,
20, OF No 5 fokenhouse Yard, 4. c.,
issued circular in that month that
e30O 900 had been privately subscribed,
and adding, ave have now the honor
TO ask for subscriptions for the remain
ing 100000 on the terms Of the pros
pectus" The money was subsequently
returned to the subscribers, and it is
understood that the property is now
being developed by private enterprise,
rs the Financial News contended in the
first instance that it should be, before
being offered 10 British investors.
When the Harney Peak tin deposits
have been proven to be Of payable
character, when a few tons of tin pro-
duced from Harney Peak ores have been
marketed, the time will be ripe for the
floating of the enterprise as a stock
company, and the public will be in
position TO judge how many millions
they may pay for it, and when the Har-
ney Peak comes before us as a proved
and producing property we shall be
prepared to deal with it on its merits.
Meanwhile the property will not be i'm
proved, nor will the interests of its
promoters by the publication OF anony-
nous and untruthful statements in the
London edition of American papers or
elsewhere"
HERALD's ANSWER.
To the above appologetic article, the
Herald submits the following reply /:
"The Financial News published Mr..
Whites statement that the Harvey
Peak Tin Mining Company cannot take
out one shilling's worth Of tin for each
twenty shillings expended in taking il
out, and upon this opinion founded a
series of editorial articles denouncing
the mines. The original company was
no doubt defeated by the utterly false
and unfounded declaration Of a man
who was publicly denounced as black
mailer and disgraced by the govern
ment of the United States. The present
Harney Peak company comprises a
body of capitalists who have proved the
Harney Peak country to be one of the
richest tin producing districts in the
world. They are a private company
and have asked for no capital from the
public. The Financial News has con-
tinued its attacks on this Dakota prop
erty since it knew them to be false, az;
notwithstanding the eminent mining
experts and capitalists who have en-
dorsed it with their authority and
guaranty. Why is this? We wait the
answer of the Financial News"

A SPANISH OUTRAGE.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21.-Ihe
Brlgantine JOsefa, which arrived
at this port Tuesday from Mont
engo Bay, Jamaica, brings news OF
the outrage suffered by that We ssel
at the hands of the Spanish gov
eminent. While discharging cargo
on her outward trip from New
York at Arroyo, Porto Rico, the
Spanish custom officials discovered
that about twenty packages OF
corn starch, which were marked on
the vessels manifest, were missing.
After an extended search the
goods could not be found, and the
vessel was seized by the Spanish
authorities, who held her until a
fine of $4,000 was paid, although
the value of the goods in question
did not exceed twenty dollars
The master and crew were forced
to suffer many indignities at the
hands of the Governor OF the
islands and officials existing under
his authority. The authorities
offered 10 settle the matter II the
captain OF the vessel could salts
factorily explain the whereabouts
of the missing packages. Alter
the fine had been paid 1t was
ascertained that the missing goods
we're delivered by mistake on board
the ship Josephus WHICH lay next
to the JOsefa in New York, but
were placed on the Josela's mani
tests.
Explanation was made to Spanish
authorities, and the return OF the
tue was requested, but was re-
fused, aud the vessel left Porto
Rico 10 load cargo elsewhere for
this city. The managing owner OF
the Josefa has filed complaint
against the spanish government
with Secretary Bdyard. and asked
that his immediate attention be
given to the matter.
1t Will be urged that the war
ships Galena and Yantic shall be
ordered to continue their cruise to
Porto Rico and summary secure
redress Tor the imposition suffered
by the JOsefa.

ENTALLY SHOT ON
CHRISTMAS DAY.

On Christmas day, Mr.. Robert
Sheppard, brother of Capt, James
r. Sheppard, who lives near Glen
allen, Henrico county, accidentally
killed himself while hunting. Mr..
Sheppard and his brother were
passing through thick briers, when
the hammer OF his gun hung in a
bush. He attempted to pull it
loose, when the gun exploded. The
entire load of shot entered his
throat and, passing through, came
out the back of his neck. Hls
brother Thomas, who was close by,
caught him as he fell. He at
tempted to speak, but could not
articulate. After a few feeble gasps
he died.
On the same day, Lightfoot
W ormley, the son of Mr.. p. Light.
foot Wormley, while hunting on his
grandiather's farm, in King
William county, accidentally shot
himself.
The Richmond State gives the
particulars as fOlOws.-
"The little fellow and his father
had shot into flock of birds and
followed them into an adjoining
field. Mr.. Wormlev got over the
fence, and had gotten short DIS
lance when he heard the report OF
gun, and received few shot in
his hand. He remarked to his son
that he had shot him. LightfoOt
replied: Father, | am shot to
death" Mr. WOrmley turned and
seeing his son lying on the ground
ran to him and asked how it hap
pened? The little fellow said that
he placed his gun, single barrel
muzzle loader, through the open
ing between the rails, and after
getting over the fence he attempted
to pull the gun through, when the
hammer struck against one of the
rails causing the piece to 90 of,
the load tearing the flesh and mus
cIes and SCATTERING the bone OF his
arm near the shoulder, and also
his body.
Mr. WOrmley carried his son to
the house and sent for physician
in the neighborhOOd, and also sent
a messenger to this city for DR..
Hunter Mcclure. DR.. Mcclure
could not 90, but secured the
services of DR.. George Ben john
son, who went down and rendered
the necessary surgical attention.
The wounds are very serious, but
hopes are entertained OF his re.
coyery.

A BOOM IN SHIPPING AND SHIP
BUILDING,

1t would seem that the election
Of General Harrison to succeed
Grover Cleveland as President,
and the probability that both
houses of the next Congress are
to be Republican, has given en-
enlargement to American steam
ship owners, who look toward TO
some measure for the building mp Of
the American merchant marine,
which the Democratic AdminlStra-
ton ignored. James Z. Ward X
Co., owners of the New York
Cuban and Mexican Steamship
Line, have recently given contracts
to the Delaware River Shipbuild-
ing Company (John Roach x sons
for two new iron steamships. These
vessels are to be 800 feet long, rs
feet depth OF hold, and are to be
6rst-class in every particular.
The Morgan Line has ordered a
new steamer, TO he called FL Mar,
to run on the line between New
York and New Orleans. The
Ocean Steamship Line has ordered
two new steel steamers from the
Delaware River Iron Shipbuilding
Company, to run on the New York
and Savannah route. They will be
larger than any of the present
steamers, Will have triple-expausion
engines, and a guaranteed speed OF
fourteen knots. The Mallory Line
has ordered one new steamer from
the same builders and contemplate
ordering another. The Red d Line
has ordered two large steamers to
be built by the Cramps. They will
run between New York and La

HER FROM THE PoLYGAMIsTs.

RALEIGH, y. c., December IL
Mo untain sections Of North

tested with numbers OF Mormon
missionaries who have gone there,

PROSECUTING among people OF that
section. They have already made
q number of converts to their iallh,
whom they induce to accompany

\ few days ago. four elders
having gained many converts, left

woman is worth a premlumin Uiah'
They coveted Miss NcKurry a. a
convert and desired her 10 accom-
pany her parents,who were going to

previously thrown around her the
witchery OF it's charms, and she
was engaged 10 - rustic swaln.-
Her graceful figure, her dazzling
and fascinating eyes formed a
picture OF physical perfection, and
the Mormons guarded her as a

he soon made his bride. The

without his daughter.
The people of the west section OF
the state are in a high state OF

The Richmond Dispatch regrets
that the granite for the monument
to Robert y. Lee in that city came
from Maine. 1t was bought in
Maine, perhaps, because 1t could
be obtained cheaper t b ere
than in Virginia. State lines have
very little to do with the fame OF
Robert E. Lee. His life is a goodly
heritage to the whole country. His
name will be cherished and hOD0red
wherever manly character and
