Mining Items.

The extent of country underlaid by
the sillcious. ore bodies Of the Black
Hills, is daily being enlarged by new
strikes and discoveries, as is evidenced
in the Blue Ridge group, situated about
a mile from Englewood, one of the sta
tions on the B. 4 NJ. X. X. In this
property, both fiat and vertical bodies
or veins of such ore have been uncover
ed. The first discovery on the ground
was made in a fifteen foot shaft, where
the ore was fonnd to be six feet thick,
assays OF which gave returns running
from 81 to $40 per ton. The vertical
vein was found in other workings, is
two feet wide. between well defined
walls, and is of the same average value
Times.
That the manga nese deposita OF Gus
ter county are attracting attention in
the east, is evident IRON the amount of
advertising they are receiving. The
following from the Sioux City Journal
Of a recent date will be Of interest 10
our readers: "The manganese discov-
cries made during the summer and fall
show good prospects and will probably
be worked on an extensive scale before
the winter Is over. The discoveries so
far made extend over belt north and
south for about six miles or more, com
mencihg fifteen miles south OF here in
Pleasant valley, from whence il is traced
southerly for several miles, crossing the
Burlington and Missouri railroad at
siding twenty miles from Custer City.
The ore crops out at contact between
the sand and limestone formations,
which is in conformity with the mines
which have already been found and
worked in different parts Of the world
best ofour ore by the Chicago steel works
show it TO run from 30 to go per cent.
manganese, which is a splendid show
ing. The same tests also show very
small percentage Of silica and phosphor
ous-not enough to make them an OBJ
lection commercially This would make
it to bring from SIS TO $50 per ton at the
steel works In Chicago or st. Louis. The
cost of mining, hauling and abroad
freight, if the large quantities exist
which are indicated by the outcrop, will
be from 81 to 81 per ton, acco ding to
distance from the railroad where the
mining is done. This would make a
hands me profit, even if the ore only
averaged $l5 per ton at the steel works.
Manganese is used in making Bessemer
steel The ore is first smelted and
spiegel iron or fuero-manganese--o
tanned from it. If the ore contains
much silica or other deleterious sub
STAGES they have to be removed before
smelling or the steel would be injured.
The best ore now procured in the United
States is mined in Virginia and Ar
kansas. There is some shipped from
Germany and Spain. The wages OF
miners in those countries is so low, and
ocean freight rates are so small that the
ores of foreign countries can compete |
with ours in our own country. There |
is so small an amount of the ore pro-
duced, however, compared with the |
demand, that if mined on a large scale,
it is an exceedingly profitable busi-
ness"

What Tariff Reform Means.

Experience goes to prove that the de
mand for tariff reform" cannot be ap.
peased by any concession short of alb
solute surrender of the protective prin-
ciple. 1t must be met and silenced by
overw helming defeat whenever and
wherever opportunity offers, for as the
more candid among agitators freely ad-
init, it is tariff repeal toward which they
are pressing, and without which they
will decline TO be satisfied.
Although the existing tarifflaw places
more dollars worth of imports on the
free list than was proposed by the mach
lauded Mills bill-and while there lit
tie the average family needs to buy that
10 not now cheaper than under any
former law--there is no abatement in
the demand for tariff reform" And
none need be expected so long as the
utmost demand Of the Golden school Of
economists is not complied with, l. e.,
free trade for every article in the supply
OF which foreigners may desire to COM
pete. Proof Of this can be found in the
fact that selfstyled reformers just as
vigorously denounce the Mckinley tar
Id. relegating to the free list one half of
all imports, as they opposed preceding
legislation in which the number Of duit-
able articles was more than double that
OF to day. They are no better pleased
with the tariff ofSll per ton on stee
rails than they were with the Sl7 exact
ed by the former law. They have no
word of commendation for the.reduction
of twenty five per cent of the tariff on
most kinds of lumber, on nails, and
long list of metal wares. In short they
refuse to be comforted SO long as for
eigners are required 10 pay anything
whatever for the privilege Of competing
in the markets of this country. Their
silence as to the provision of reciprocity
in trade with friendly nations seems
properly traceable to the fact of opposi
tion because foreigners are thereby
compelled to concede some of their sci
fish demands for commercial privileges
that cost them nothing.
Argument seems wasted on the aver
age free trader. The only safe course is
to ignore the demand and continue to
shape our economic legislation with
view to steady and profitable employ
ment of the labor and resources of the
country insuring national independence
so far as nature, aided by the energy
and ingenuity of our people, render such
independence possibilty.-Journal of
Commerce.

The Court Was Weary.

A New York telegram of recent date says:
 Judge Van Brunt ere ated sensa- ton in the Field insanity hearing this evening. The hearing has been proceeding quietly for seven days. At 7:l5 this evening Judge Van Brunt suddenly interrupted the pro ceedings and said: 'When this trial began the counsel promised that 1t would consume but five days, and | have already sat here eight days and the prospects of finishing it this week are meagre, indeed.
 "Gentlemen, of the jury" he ad- ded rising, you are discharged"
 For a moment all was confusion. The judge, with much deliberation, was putting on his oyercoat, while the jury seemed too much surprised to do anything but sit still and won der. Then Mir. Cochran walked over to Attorney Nicoll and remarked: "Well, I'll be damned" "So will l." replied the district attorney.
 The judge left the court, but was intercepted by counsel, who with many promises, i.duced nim to re- turn. He did so, only to adjourn the court until tomorrow. The case will probably be concluded then.
 Judge Van Brunt's action is al most unprecedented and is accounted for by the fact that the case has overrun lhe limit set and has com pelled the judge to sit up nights preparing for his general term work in the supreme court.

Week.
 TIP Tor, March 7.- Regular cor respondence. l-Mr. Tony Burchem has returned to camp from visit on the Coast for his health, looking we'll and hearty. He will stay in camp for some time, and will work with his partners in the Tip Top mine.
 Ed. Cover and Fred Carrigan are doing we'll asserting the old Tip Top dump.
 Barney Williams has returned to camp again after an absence of about two years. He has taken a lease on the old Lane mine, and he and Chas. De Gent have moved up and began work few days ago.
 On February 29th, the Tip Top 400 gave Miss Heizer farewell party at the residence of Mrs. k. G. Wager, which was largely attended, and a pleasant time was had until the wee hours in the morn, and then hand shaking was in order un- til the arrival of the stage, when she took her departure for Agua Fria station, where she has gone to teach school. The people of Agua Fria may congratulate themselves upon getting such an accomplished young lady as teacher of their school. But what is Tip Tops loss is Agua Fria's gain. She will be dearly missed by the balance of the 100. We wish her success wherever she may go, and hope she will be fortu- nate enough to secure the school here again in the fall.

THE ANrI.LorrERY LAW.

A great deal of senseless sentiment is just now being indulged in by some of the papers of Phenix, as we'll as by many citizens of the place in regard to the action Of the postmaster of that place in refusing to allow an edition of the Gazette to go through the malls. Tue edi- ton in question contained the result of a gift enterprise of one of tho stores there. \ great deal is said about the freedom of the press and the censorship exercised by the poStmasters. From the case made out by the papers, it is clear that the postmaster only did his duty. The following is the law under which the seizure was made: No letter, postal card, or circular con corning any lottery, so-called gift concert or other similar enterprise offering prizes dependent upon lot chance or concerning schemes de vised for the purose of obtaining money or property under false pre- tenses, and no list of the drawings of any lottery or similar scheme, and no lottery ticket or part thereof, and no check, draft bill, money, postal note or money-order for the purchase of any ticket, tickets, or part thereof, or of any share or any chance in any such lottery or gift enterprise, shall be carried in the mail or delivered at or through any postoffice or branch thereof, or by any letter carrier; nor shall any newspaper, circular, pamphlet, or publication of any kind containing any advertisement of any lottery or gift enterprise of any kind offering prizes dependent upon lot or chance, or containing any list of prizes awarded at the drawings of any such lottery or gift enterprise, whether said list is of any part or of all of the drawing, be carried in the mail or delivered by any post master or letter carrier. Any per son who shall knowingly deposit or cause to be deposited, or who shall send or cause io be sent, any thing to be conveyed or delivered by mail in violation of this section, or who shall knowingly cause to be delivered by mail anything herein forbidden to be carried by mail, shall be deemed guilty of misde- meanor, and on conviction shall be punished by fine of not more than five hundred dollars or for impris- onment of not more than one year, or by both such fine and imprison- ment for each offense."
