NEIHART rs RICH IN SILVER,
Such is the Opinion of Mr.. Curin, an FIX.
perienced Miner,

perienced Miner.
Mr.. Rene Cnrin, who has had much
experience in Colorado and Montana
mining and was until recently, foreman
of the G~lengarry mine at Butte, has just
returned from Neihayt.
"What is your opinion of that mineral
district!" inquired a TRIBUNE reporter.
81 must say replied Mr.. Curin, that
after spending two weeks in carefully ex-
amlnlng its mineral resources that | con-
slider it one of the best mineral sections
in the state and as soon AS it is developed
it will take its place in the front rank as
q producer of the precious metals. The
veins are true assures of good size and
the great majority of those on which II
little work has been done show good
streaks of ore while those that have been
further developed prove that the ore
bodies are large and continuous. The
formation in which the veins occur is
granite with some %porphyry. The por-
phyrY in some cases forms one of the
walls. the mountain on whose
flank the mines are situated. is
covered by a taick layer of anartzitp
making the conditions very favorable for
large ore deposits. The mines are easy
of access and can be developed and
worked cheaply. There Is plenty of
water for ordinary purposes in the
gulches surrounding them and plenty of
within ii few miles. Taken alto.
| have not seen A mining district
in the state that offe:s such good induce
ments to those who seek to invest in
mines and it would richly repay anyone
such Investments to go tnt re and
examine that very promising section"
Mr.. Curin shows his confidence in
by resolving to settle there and
actively in mining.

WASHINGTON, August lathe tariff
biff was taken up today, the pending
question being Vests amendment, offered
last Monday, to reduce the duty on tin
plate paragraph 1871, page 2s) from 2 2-1o
to 1c per pound. Senator Mitchell ad-
dressed the senate in defence of the high
protective system as being the policy to
which the republican party stands COM
mitted. Senator Plumb gave notice of
an amendment which he would offer to
strike out Of paragraph 1871 the provision
imposing a duty on tin plate and to add
to the paragraph a provision to pay to
manufacturers OF tin plate made in the
United States a bounty of Il cent per
pound.
WHAT MOODY SAID.
WASHINGTON, August 14.-In his
speech in favor Of higher duty on tinplates
Senator Moody said: He would gauge
to be imposed in proportion to the rate
of actual labor involved, even going SO
far as absolutely excluding foreign pro-
duct where it could be successfully sup
piled by home labor. On the question Of
tin and tin plates, Moody said he was ad-
vised by a majority Of the finance COM
mittee that an amendment was to be Of
fered imposing a duty, on and after the
first of January, 1892, On black oxide of
tin and or bar, block, and pig tin; and
asked Senator Aldrich whether that was
so.
Aldrich asserted to a correctness of the
statements.
Moody said that there was no provis.
ion on the bill of more Importance to the
people of his W state aud a large por-
ton of the people of the United States,
than a provision that would impose a
duty Of four cents a pound on metallic
tin. Within the last six years the most
extensive and probably richest tin mines
In the world had been discovered in the
Black Hills, In South Dakota and Wy
oming. There we're tin mining districts
there. Companies had been organized
and were ready to commence the neces-
sary improvements as soon as it was dem
cnstrated that they were not to be crush
ed out by foreign combinations. Not
only was there tin, but there was also
iron for tin plate, and coal out of which
coke was to be made for fuel to do the
work with. Within the radius of a few
hundred miles there could be success
fully established the manufacture of
tin plates. Whatever he could do, as a
member of the national congress to con-
%stitute, create or develop manufacturing
industries in the west he would do.

About the most inconsistent and ut
terly groundless piece of fiction which
has found its way into public print in
late years, was that published In the St.
Paul papers Saturday and Sunday anent
the discovery of a subterranean cave in
Lake Prairie township, Nicollet county,
containing three rooms, one with hunks
for sleeping purposes, stove and cook
ing utensils and many other things, in
cludinga human skeleton. One of the
rooms had eighteen hitching posts with
feed boxes for horses. Ii is supposed
to have been the retreat of the notori-
Gus gang of Conway horse-thieyes that
terrorized the country in an early day.
A letter found in the cave and sIgued
Frank" dated at Elysian corroborates
this supposition in the mind of the
novelist" 1t is wonder that the
writer of this wonderful discovery did
not unearth gold mine in the mean
time. From the innermost recesses of
his fertile brain he should have been
able to evolve rich mine of mineral.

The District Court at St. Peter is
melting out justice. Henry Keltgen,
who last June shot John Kennedy in a
row at Nicollet, and was indicted by the
grand jury with the charge of shooting
with intent to kill, was found guilty OF
the crime of assault in the second de-
gree and Thursday sentenced to pay a
fine of 800. Timothy Donahue, who
last Fourth of July shot Charles Hatch,
was found guilty in the second degree.
Donahue is the man who two years ago
wrote to the secretary of state withdraw
ing.his allegiance from the United States
because this government would not pro-
tect him.
The importance of the matter should
have brought lager attendance to the
meeting which was called for last Fri
day to consider the relocation of section
corners. 1t is generally admitted that
this work will haye to be done some
time, and the cost and difficulty are be-
coming constantly greater. One gentle
man estimates that the cost now would
be $4,000. Most of the old corner
stakes have rotted away, and section
lines have become lost. But there are
still a few stakes left, which could be
used in locating the others, and the
memory of some of those old settlers
who are now living would be of great
service. Eastern states are being forced
to make the relocations, and regret that
they did not do it sooner, SO as to have
these aids. 1t is proposed to locate each
section corner and indicate the spot
with stone monument, properly mark
ed. The center of each section might
be similarly made known. These mark
ings would last forever, and obviate the
necessity for any future resuryey.
