Judge Lawrence has upheld the Board Of Elec-
trical Control in its fight with an electric COM
pany which has thus far successfully resisted all
attempts TO drive its wires underground, and says
that the Boards acts have been in strict con-
formity with the statutes. The burial Of the
wires goes forward so deliberately that it is
great satisfaction to see a company snubbed when
it applies for an injunction to prevent the carrying
out of the plain provisions of the law. If all
the Judges would take the same view, the public
welfare would be sensby subScrved.

The dispatch from Victoria, B. c., which re-
ports the arrival at that port of the seal pirate
Danube with cargo of $4,000 skins, absurdly
declared that they were secured outside of
Rchring Sea-. This, Of course, is prepostcrous.
as is all the talk of scal-catches in the open
Pacific. There never was well-authenticated
case of Pacific sealing in which even thousand
skins were taken. The Danube's catch came, as
all the rest do, from the waters north Of the
Aleutian passes.

The latest circular issued by the
general land office is to special agents
and relates to timber reservations.
Agents are directed to make a careful
and personal examination of timber
bearing lands in the district to which
they are assigned and recommend to
the general land office as to
whether such lands should be set
aside as public reservations. When
timber lands have not been surveyed,
permission will be granted the agentsIot
employ surveyors for the performance of
the work. 1t is not the intention of Com
missioner Carter to prohibit the cutting
Of timber when necessary for settlement
and development, but merely to pre-
serve timber and underground on the
headwaters Of streams and along their
banks, where the timber is means Of
preventing the sudden and rapid melting
Of the winter snow. Agents will advise
with residents aud officials Of the sec.
ton in which the reservation is to be
made, and will give due notice by pub.
LEGATION, SO that evidence may be heard
for and against tho proposed measure,
before the final recommendation is made
to the department, A number Of special
agents will be appointed to carry out the
above Instructions, but the land office
claim no appointments will be made un.
til the return of Commits sioner Carter.

pecially ordered by the commissioner.
This ruling was made by Commissioner

ENCOURAGE 1T.

The proposition to construct electric
light works here should meet hearty en-
couragement at the arnds of our busi-
ness men it appears to us. 1t is the
best opportunity which has yet been
presented from which to determine how
much of a progressive spirit our com
munity possesses. The system of cleo
trio lighting is so common now that
every town of any pretentions through
out the country uses it, a large number
of them owning their own plants. But
the chief attraction it presents to us as
community is the freedom from hire
which its adoption assures. In every
town like ours, all live in constant dread
of the devouring element, which, how
ever carefully guarded against, breaks
out ruinously when and where least ex-
pected, and this may always be the
case, but anything that promises to les
sen the chances or danger from that
source should be heartily welcomed, and
the present offer doubtless will be, wher
careful consideration Of the matter de
velops the fact that the change will cost
practically nothing. But, if it SHOULD
cost something, it ought nevertheless t.
be adopted. 1t will but be contribu
tion to the fac department in a new
form, less, we H. st guarantee. in tn

Ores From Mexico and Northwestern
Ores,

One Of the most difficult questions in
framing the tariff law last winter related
to the Importation OF argentiferous ores
from Mexico. Plior to the passage of
the present law these ores were given
free admission, and, as the result, large
smelling works were established at Kan.
sas City and other points convenient to
the Mexican border for the reduction of
Mexican ores. The silver miners of the
Northwest made fight against this,
and after protracted contest succeeded
In having provision inserted in the bill
providing that ''silver ores and all other
ores containing lead shall pay duty Of
one and one half cents per pound for the
lead contained therein, according to
sample and assay at the port.of entry"
This is the rate prescribed for lead ore
and dross. The Western silver miners
are not satisfied with the low rate at
which the Mexican ores are admitted.
and have raised the point that such ores
should be classified as lead ores when
containing certain percentage of lead.
Under the law as pow being admins.
tered the Mexican ores are paying abo,
81 per ton of 1000 pounds, the duty
being assessed on 'the lead containe 4
therein" The Northwestern miuer,
hoped that the duty on these ores would
prohibit their Importation from Mexico
and thus compel the Kansas City auc
other smelters working Mexican ores t.
work the American oles. The que.tio,
thus raised has been under consideration
at the Treasury Department, and there
no doubt whatever that the decision will
sustain the construction placed upon tn
law by the customs officers.

A LOST RIVER.

Tho Singular Disappearance OF q largo
Stream.
The Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany has lost river, and in conse-
quence has bridge whose occupation
is gone, says the Los Angeles Herald.
The Whitewater river has flowed
from the Sicrrc Madrc mountains across
the sands of the region just this sido of
Seven Palms Us long as anyone can re-
member. Tho station Of Whitewater was
located where the river crosses the. rail-
way and was supplied with water from
its current.
During recent heavy rains the White
water rose in It's might and devastated
the whole country round about, wnsh-
ing out the bridge and the roadbcd and
playing the mischief generally. Soon
the rains and the river stopped stimuli
taneously, and the river has not been
found since. It appeared to become
ashamed of itself for doing 80 much
harm, and has apparently skunk AWAY
In disgust and sorrow. It Is entirely
gone. At no point does 1t cross the rail-
road, as 1t would have to do were 1t still
In existence in some new course. Tho
railroad company, In order to secure
water for its station ut Whitewater, has
been obliged to build pipe line way
up to tho mountains ut considerable eX-
pense.
AL last summer, during the hottest,
driest weather, the river ran placidly
along-in fact, 1t has never failed until
after its Jag of last winter Now it
forms one of the mysteries of that mys-
ferrous region, the Colorado river dcs-
ert, and perhaps is flowing by the Peg
leg mine. and possibly ripping beside
the trcasure-laden Spanish galleon,
which lies somewhere in that region,
buried in sand
