The Big Horn Mountains.


DR.. j. M. Hargrave, of Missoula, who has
just returned from the much talked about
placer diggings at the head of the Little
Horn river in Wyoming, says they are on
the western slole of the Big Horn noun
tains close to the summit. The surround
ing country is very rough. The genera!
formation is granite, and in many places ia
capped by red sandstone, this in turn being
OVERLAND with lime. In the diggings the
bedrock is granite, covered, as nearly as
can be ascertained from the limited pros
pectinR 80 far done, by from three to twelve
feet of gravel, compact and FREQ from large
boulders. There is some cement. The
gold is fine and evenly distributed from
the grass roots down, the surface prospect
ing about the same as that at the bottom.
The dust SO far taken out has been OBJ
tanned by rocking, and is worth 1915 per
ounce. Two men hauling their dirt
a mile made over $500 in twelve days
with rocker. Hargrave and his
partner took out $14 in a half days work.
packing the dirt on their backs half a mile.
This would indicate that the best gravel
works from three to six cents to the pan.
The best ground is that nearest the sum-
NIT. The size of the claims is twenty acres
and the doctor thinks that the area of the
pay gravel is not extensive, from fifteen to
twenty claims covering the best of it.
There are about 1000 claims located.
There is very little water, but a ompany
has been organized to bring in a ditch
inches of water. When DR.. Hargrave left
200 or 600 men were ut the diggings and
there was considerable quarreling over
claims. The nearest saw mill is eighteen
miles distant. No quartz has been found
in the vicinity.

The Story That the Anaconda Shut
Down Is a Deal Denied by
Daily.
Reasons Why it Would Be More
Profitable for the Company
to Continue.

pects-Diam0nd City Operations.

Marcus DAILY, in a recent interview in tho
Salt Lake Tribune, was asked the follow
ing question: ut has been intimated, Mi.
DAILY, hat the shutting down of the Ana
conda was an arrangement between the
Union Pacific and others, that the Anaconda
really wanted to shut down at that time for
reasons of their own. and that in no sense
Of the word was the Union Pacific to blame,
except agreeing to the arrangement. In
other words, that there was collusion."
ITO that l can say positively, without
any fear of contradiction, that it is ALSO
lutely untrue in every word" said Mr.. DAILY.
''1t was very annoying to Mr.. Haggin and
to the owners of the Anaconda company to
be compelled to close down at that p%articu-
lar time. l had appealed to the manage
mont of the Montana companies to delay
the shutting down long enough for Mr..
Haggin to reach New York that he might
confer with MIR. Cakes, of the Northern
Pacific, Mr.. Clarke, OF the Union Pacific, or
Mr.. Dillon, and prevent the stoppsgeif pos
sible. and for the following reasons: First,
our works we're just completed after spend
ing an immense amount of money
on them. We were in splendid
shape to produce copper cheaply.
Second, we can produce copper one-eighth
cent per pound cheaper in summer than we
can in winter, when the weather is cold or
freezing in the concentrates, and q great
many other reasons. and that it was very
embarrassing to US to be compelled to close
down ut the time we did. But they sue
ceeded in closing our works, and they will
now remain closed until the thing is defin-
itely and satisfactorily settled, and I say
that we cannot be whipped in. In support
of this l would state that l sent a telegram
to Mr.. Burns, the general manager of the
Montana union. telling him that l had just
received a telegram from Mr.. Haggin from
Benson, Ariz., who was on his way to New
York. and requested Mr.. Burns to ever sus-
pend shutting down until Mr.. Haggin
would arrive in New York, and Mr.. Burns
reply was, Notwithstanding Mr.. Haggin
was on his way to New York: my orders
go into effect at 6 o'clock tonight"

STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZA.
TION.

There is no doubt but the State
Board Of Equalization has aston
ished many by the way it has dealt
with the railroads. When this
Board was created nearly everybody
looked at the move as one of inter
est only to the railroads. But il
seems that the Board is proving an
independent one and acting for the
people of the State. The TIMES
was not in favor of such a Board,
but if there is nothing behind the
work that is now being done by the
Board, we believe that it will be a
beneficial addition to us. AT ses-
sion of the Board held this week the
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the G. P. be as
sessed as follows: Main track,
$4,000 per mile; side track $4,000
per mile. The V. & T. main track
$12,750 per mile; side track $4,000

WELL, GOOD-BY, MIR. AsTOR.

It was bound to come to this at
last. William Waldorf Astor is to
settle permanently in England, and
hereafter when he visits America he
will be an Englishman and stran-
ger.
A great many other Americans
have preceded Mr.. Aston, but they
have not publicly announced their
determination, and they have not
been as conspicuous in financial and
social circles as he. No doubt
there is a strong feeling in favor of
emigration to England among a
certain class of Americans possess
ing inherited wealth. The invinci-
BILE democracy of the United States,
the frequency with which men who
are poor to-day become immensely
rich tomorrow, and the popular dis
position to consider one rich man US
the equal of every other rich man
are likely to make an exclusive per-
son who has CHANGED to inherit his
wealth deplore the free and easy
conditions that prevail here. If
William Waldorf Astor goes TO
England to live he will make as
poor an Englishman as he has been
an American.
Nevertheless, his fellow-citizens
will wish him pleasant journey
and long life. When he visits us
in bis capacity as an Englishman
let us hope that he will not write a
book.-Chicago Herald.

HARRISON FIGURING FOR COAST
&UPPOET.

The President has, it is under
stood, decided that Estee, of Cali
fornia, shall enter his Cabinet when
the reorganization made necessary
by the retirement of Secretary Proc
tor and the expected retirement Of
Attorney General Miller, takes
place. It is as yet uncertain whether
Mr.. Estee will become Attorney
General or Secretary of the Interior,
as Secretary Noble will probably be
given the privilege of exchanging
his present portfolio for that of At
torney General if he wishes to do so,
and it is believed that he does. Mr..
Estee would probably have gone into
the Cabinet when it was first organ
lied, but he declined serving in any
place except that of Attorney Gen
eral or Secretary of the Interior,
and both of these places had been
rendered to and accepted by the
present incumbents before the Pres
ident was made acquainted with Mr..
Estee's wishes.
1t is very good indeed of Mr..
Harrison to, even at this late date,
remember one of the Pacific Coast
States, but we think it is too late
for him to work up much enthusi-
asm out this way for reelection. He
has seen fit, SO far, to disregard the
wishes Of the people of this Coast
in every matter. 1t is now said that
if free coinage measure is passed
at the next session of Congress, Mr..
Harrison will sign it. Maybe he
will, but we doubt it. When he
was nominated three years ago we
were assured by Coast delegates to
the Convention that Harrison would
be all right for silver. He has been
all right for Wall street gold men
and that is the way he will always
be. The people of California should
not be made to think Mr.. Harrison
is the man they want for President
by his throwing them a little sop in
the shape of a Cabinet appointment.
This coast should send men to the
next National Convention who will
stand solid for the free coinage of
silver, first, last and all the time.
Nothing is ever gained by giving up
to the wishes of the East. tits far
better to be beaten in a square fight
than to be weakened and allow
the enemy to smooth things over
with honied promises.

SWINTON'S GRANHMAR..

Through various exchanges it is
learned that there is widespread
antagonism among the teachers of
the State against Swinton's gram
mar, one of the textbooks in use
in Nevada. 1t is also urged by the
alleged teachers of the State, that
the textbook in question was
adopted by the State Board of Ed
ucation because there was "nigger
in the wood-pile."
Even the "Storey County Teach
ers' Union" (whatever that term
may mean) has unanimously re-
solved that Swinton's grammar is a
failure, and prayer has been offered
that Reed & Kellogg's series may
supplant the one in use.
The TINES puts itself OH record
that Swinton's grammar is as good
technical work on that subject as
there is published, and it says this
without being subsidized by any
publishing house in America.
There is no "nigger in the wood
pilo' on our side of the house.
For one we are tired of hearing
teachers say that they want this or
that textbook. When teacher
rails about a textbook, it is almost
a confession that he does not know
how to teach the subject in ques
ton. He desires to shift the results
of his own incompetency upon the
the shoulders of a publishing
house, or State Board of Educa-
ton that has "a niger in the
wood-pile."
Such talk is cheap. 1t may re-
ceive the appreciation of disgruntled
and incompetent teachers, but it
does not meet with the approval of
the patrons of the schools who have
to foot the bills incurred when
change of school books is ordered.
Any textbook is but the skeleton.
The real teacher is appointed to
breathe into it the breath of life.
If he does not know enough to teach
grammar from a book where the
author is one of the best education
al writer's in the country, he ought
to join Mark Twain's class and
learn English as she is spoke"

This is quite raise on the G. P.
and the V. & T., but does not dis
turb the other roads much. We do
mot know as yet exactly how much
of an addition this will give Lyon,
but it must be remembered that
there will have to be considerable
more money raised this year than
last to make up for the reduction of
the State tax from 90c to 75c. The
figures above given are above what
any of the Assessors in all counties
but two placed them. If the rail
roads don't turn around now and
have the law establishing the Board
declared unconstitutional, the State
will be somewhat eainer through
the law.

THE New York Central Railroad
broke, on the 18th instant all records
of fast time for long runs of passen-
ger trains on railways on either side
of the Atlantic. A special train
composed of one of the company's
new standard passenger engines and
three private cars, conveying Vice
President Webb and party, made
the run of 1861 miles from New
York to East Buffalo in 440 min
utes, including three stops, one OF
which occupied u minutes. Moth
ing approaching such feat has ever

THE RAIN MAX ERS.

The latest tests of the rival "rain-
makers" seem to show that the hole
in-the-barn method is far more
instantaneous and local in its effects
than the explosion method What
was regarded in advance as the SUI
preme test Of the explosion theories
of Gen. Dyrenforth was made in Ell
Paso, Texas. An almost incredible
amount of dynamite was sent up
into the air in balloons, and explod-
ed at heights ranging from 800 to
1900 feet. At the same time great
quantities of rackarock powder were
exploded on the ground. A terrific
bombardment of the heavens" was
kept up for many hours, but al
though clouds gathered, and some of
them had lightning in them, a stiff
north wind blew them away before
any rain fell. "The only encourag-
ing phenomenon says a scientific
eyewitness, twas a heavy dew in
the morning, the ground and grass
being fairly dripping with water"
This was unprecedented" but it
was, of course, a bitter disappoint-
ment to 60 out for rain and come
back with nothing but dew. A far
more satisfactory result is reported
as having taken place about the
same time in Wyoming, where Mel
bourne, the "rain DOCTOR" who
operates the hole-in-th barn theory
was making some fresh tests. The
news of his success was told by a
wealthy cattleman" who was him
self an eyewitness. He says that
the doctor, "attired in nothing but
pair of trousers and a flannel
shirt" came out of the barn at nine
o'clock and announced that 1--WE
will have shower at twelve" He
then disappeared inside the barn
and opened little trap-door he had
arranged in the roof The sky was
perfectly clear, and the Weather
Bureau had predicted fair weather.
About eleven o'clock clouds began
to gather, coming from both east
and west, and met directly over the
barn." At IL cit began to drizzle,
and 1920 the rain was coming down
steadily" 1t stopped about two
o'clock, when the doctor emerged
from the barn, 4his face flushed and
his clothing wringing wet with per-
spiration, showing that he had been
working like a beaver. He an
nounced to Ex-Governor Baker, who
was in the crowd, that he would
"give another shower at three" He
again disappeared, and at three it
again began to rain and "came down
quite hard till four, leaving little
pools and mud in all directions"
Once more the perspiring doctor
emerged, and said the next shower
would be at six. "For heavens
sake call him off," said bystander
who was very wet, to Gov. Baker,
cor he will drown us out" Gov.
Baker "called him off," and he went
away, merely saying that for $500 a
shower he would give anybody all
the rain he wanted.
