NaYada's Salt Mountains.

The salt mountains located on the
banks of the Rio Virgin, an anlu,
cnt of the Colorado River in Lincoln
County, New, cover an area OF
twenty-five miles, extending TO within
seven miles of the junction of that
stream with the Colorado. The silt
they contain is pure and white and
clearer than glass, and it is said that
Il piece seven or eight inches thick
is sometimes clear enough to sec
through to read newspaper. Over
the salt is a layer of sandstone from
two to eight feet thick, and when
this is torn away the salt appears
like huge snowdrift. How deep it
is has not yet been ascertaincd, but
single blast of giant powder will
blow out tons Of it. Under the CAP
rock have been discovered charrcd
wood and charcoal, and mating made
Of cedar bark, which the salt has
preserved, evidently the camp of
prehistoric man.

Achievements Of Surgery.

AZ the Surgical Congress at Bcr-
lin, Professor Gluck, of Berlin, gave
(says DalzicD an exhibition showing
a most valuable advance in surgery.
namely, the successful substitution
OF catgut, ivory, and bone freed
from chalk, for defects in bones,
muscles, and nerve sincws. The
juices OF the body are sucked up in
the inserted material, thereby cstab-
fishing the junction Of the separated
ends, without any shortening Of the
part. He presented the cases OF
patients in whom there had been an
insertion Of from six to ten ccntimc-
tcrS OF catgut to supply defects in
the leaders OF the hands, to which
complete mobility had been restored
This case has previously been impos.
siblc. In the case OF another patient
Professor Gluck removed tumo,
from the thigh, causing considcra-
bic defect in the bone. lie inserted
ivory, and no shortening cnsucd. IN
another case he removed LARGE
piece OF nerve in the groin and in.
serted catgut, and the functions re.
maincd completely satisfactory.

Export Of American Machinery.

American trade journals take it as
an unqucStionablc fact that the cx-
port OF American machinery is in
crcasing. The demand from abroad,
they say, for American textile machi-
merry has OF late been more active
than ever before, and is undoubtedly
to be attributed to the numerous
patented improvements that have
been and are constantly being added
to American machines for cotton and
wooden manufacturing, and which
arc now bringing them prominently
to the front. These devices, the re-
suit OF American ingenuity and in-
vention, have been patented both in
America and foreign countries, thus
fully protecting the rights Of invcn-
tors and manufacturers, and foreign
crs are not slow to recognize their
merits. In the case Of the Amcr-
can loom this is especially true, for
it is generally thought that for speed
and good workmanship combined it
is superior to all its foreign rivals.
AS result it is being gradually in
troduccd in many English factories,
where practical test has clearly
demonstrated its uses. In the Uni
ted States the ring spinning frames
are largely taking the place Of mules
in many of the mills, and they arc
now beginning to force themselves
upon the attention OF foreign manu-
facturcrs, who, though slow to adopt
new methods, and conservative in
the extreme, cannot afford to neglect
any improvements, from whatever
source they may come, which will
give them any advantage, however
slight, over their competitors. The

Shell Mounds of Florida.

Colonel Joseph Wilcox, one of the
managers Of the Archacological
Museum of the University of Penn
svlvanla, recently gave Il short ac-
count of his explorations in the
Florida shell heaps. lie said he had
never travelled in any part of the
United States. that presented so
many remains Of the former race rs
Florida. The mounds were of two
classes. Along the coast and the
banks of the rivers they were COM
posed Of shells, while those away
from the rivers and the sen are made
of sand. These mounds are of
prodigous size, some Of the largest
being twenty to thirty acres in cx-
tent, and twenty to forty feet in
height. The shell mounds are com
posed almost exclusively OF oyster
shells, large conch, which was cvi-
IDENTIFY eaten, being the next. most
plentiful. Many Of the latter have
Il hole broken in the top, through
which it is probable the animal was
drawn. The shells in one of the
mounds he examined varied from
those Of the present day, partaking
of the character Of those of the
Plioccnc fossils, and Indicate tha,
the mound was made very long
time ago. lie exhibited Il collection
OF objects from Fiorida, including
two gold beads, and Il superb frag-
mcnt Of pottery that was thought to
be OF Georgia manufacture. In
commenting upon this piece, which
he presented to the museum, he said
that the Greek fret, the scroll work,
and many forms Of classical dccora-
ton are TO be discovered on the
American pottery, and if we want
to study the beginning OF classic
art, We should study the aboriginal
art OF America, an art that was nip
ped in the bud by the terrible Span
ish INVASION
The museum, although only organi-
zcd last year, is so well cared for
by its friends that its collection is
now second to none in the country.

AN UNCOMFORTABLE PLACE.

From its Washington bureau the
salt Lake Tribune received for publ
cation on sunday a dispatch in which
question of making the Mckinley bill
a special order came up, Mr.. Carter
was placed in a decidedly uncomfort-
able position. lie was paired with
Representative Boatner of Louisiana
and was unable 10 vote against the
order, which was a political measure"
We should say this is about the size
position for the Montana man, the
trouble coming as it did at the one mo-
ment In all the months of the session
when Mckinley and Reed were bull
doing republicans and when the
cracking of the party whip was heard
all through the capitol. forcing into
line every available republican in sup.
port of a measure which MI. Carter
was bound to bolt. II was an extremely
uncomfortable fix for the Montana
man.
On Mr.. Carter's account il is To be
regretted that he was not foot-loose
last Thursday morning, the more so in
view of the fact that the silver bill had
been under discussion for days and
there was no telling when he might
have use for his vote. IL the cause
could have rallied just a little more
support Thursday morning say three
votes Mckinley and Reed would have
been whipped at the outset: but that is
the morning when they were crowding
the republicans very hard.
Fortunately Mr.. Carter got release
from his pair before Saturday, under
an arrangement which the STANDARD
recited yesterday morning. Mr.. Boat
ner, whoever he is or wherever he was
or whatever he was about, was hunted
up with dispatches and the change was
made. The Montana member pre-.
sented some very strong objections to
the republican bin and, of course, voted
i'm accordance with the unanimous
wish Of his constituency.
Up TO this time no democrat is troub.
ling Mr.. Carter. lie is reported as
having sent to Butte a dispatch saying
that '-the democratic report of his po-
sition is maliciously false" We can
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1890-06-10

not tell what this may mea The re-
port simply is that he was paired. Up
to Saturday noon Of last week, this fact
had not been announced by any repub-
lican newspaper In Butte or Helena,
but the STANDARD stated ii and, as
early as last Friday morning, 1t was
published In Denver, In salt Lake City,
in Portland and in San Francisco; and
the fact that II is strictly true doesn't
make it 'maliciously false" on Mr..
Carriers say so.
Nobody Is quarreling with Mr. Carter.
His relations to this business, In the
matter of his pair, are too Insignificant
to furnish the groundwork for a quar-
rel. Montana's fight is with bigger
men-with Mckinley, with Reed, with
Window. with Harrison, with a party
that arrayed itself solidly and tyran-
nically against the chief industry of this
state. That is the imposing force
against which Montana must array
herself.

THE TROUBLE WITH JuRIss.

The opponents of the jury system
will extract much solid satisfaction
the satisfaction of knowing they are
right they will say-from the verdict
rendered at Colville, Wash, last Friday
i'm the Howenstein murder case. The
defendant quarreled with q restaurant
waiter over % matter of fifty cents.
No amicable agreement being reached.
Howenstein went out, borrowed n gun.
returned and shot the waiter dead. The
plea of emotional insanity was set up
in defense, and although there was no
evidence that the defendant had ever
been crazy, before or since. the jury, by
one of those inexplicable freaks of
which the history of juries is full, re-
turned a verdict of mot guilty OH the
ground that the defendant was insane
when he committed the deed" The
Judge summoning Howenstein before
him thus delivered himself: This is
the most unsatisfactory verdict ! have
ever received. III the court entertained
the same views Is the jury has ex-
pressed, he would commit you to the
insane asylum. But he does not, and
therefore | shall order your discharge.
This verdict is most fortunate for you.
bnt IL is an outrage To the community"
The murderer therefore is again mt
liberty and restaurant walters must be
on their guard.
10 will no doubt be contended by
those who believe the jury system TO
he a farce that this particular jury, like
innumerable other juries, was filled
wholly or in part by men who through
bias or prejudice or weak sentimental
ity entirely ignored the law and the
evidence in a case they had sworn to
try solely on its merits. But is this the
true explanation? Is there not n
deeper and more mysterious cause un-
DERIVING the jury's singular conducts
Here are twelve men acting all on a
sudden very strangely. TO say that
everyone of the twelve Is a victim of
bias or prejudice or se%ntimentality is
an imposition ON the doctrine of prob
abilities. Two or three. perhaps five or
six talesmen who had leanings in favor
of the prisoner, might, in spite of the
care exercised by the prosecution, have
succeeded i'm securing seats i'm the jury
box, but the most they could expect in
a case like Howenstein's was TO effect
a disagreement.
IL is folly TO think that any ordinar.
lily bright prosecuting attorney could
be fooled into accepting twelve men
who were dead against his case at the
the start. At the lowest calculation
