Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1892-01-29

The Dodgeville Chronicle of last
week says:
The Mineral Point Democrat is get
ting little noisy because some of the
democratic papers and democratic in
dividuals are condemning the appor-
tionment of the state into senate and
assembly districts made by the last
democratic Legislature, and it comes
out squarely in defence of the ger
rymander. We are not supposed to
be competent arbitrators for the pur-
pose of setting disputes among dem
ocratS, but If it will in any manner
tend to reconcile the different factions
OF the democratic party that are now
at war, we are willing to express, the
opinion that some democrats are hon
est and some of the others are
opposed to them.
Wrong again! The Democrat has
not come "out squarely in defence
OF the gerrymander." 1t neither de
Tended nor attacked the apportion-
ment of last winter. 1t is true that it
expressed lack of sympathy for dem
ocrats who give aid and comfort to the
opposition by criticising the actions of
democratic members of the legislature
in matter not at issue. If the svs-
tenn of political appointments is
wrong 1t should be changed; but it is
worse than folly for full grown men to
oluoOer because in the political tussle
they fail to secure the under hold every
time. The system of making amor
tionments should doubtless be changed
but it is the rankest kind of hvnocrisv
for democrat to join the blubberers
II weeping over the fact that they
have been compelled to swallow a dose
of the same kind of medicine that they
have been apportioning to the dem
oorats for 10 these many wears The
Chronicle is respectfully informed that
the greatest noise that is BEING made
IS by partisan republicans weeping and
wailing and crashing their teeth over
the gerrymander of the state by the
democrats and the loss to the republi-
lican party of the interest received on
public treasury balances.

The Milwaukee Telegraph takes
time by the forelock and proposes that
the republicans Of Wisconsin make a
strong pull to secure for Milwaukee,
the republican convention in 1896.
When the time comes for action the
democrats Of the state should return
with interest the kindly aid lent them
in the long and strong though unsuc-
cessful pull made to secure the dem
Ocratic convention Of 1892.

EXceIS as an ORATOR.

Albert Watkins, Of Lincoln, Neb.,
formerly of this city, was one of the
speakers at recent banquet of the
Jackson club Of Omaha. The Lin
coin papers speak in high praise Of his
effort. The Herald says:
"Of all the speeches made at the
Omaha Jackson blowout the best was
by Albert Watkins, of this city. It is
true that he wandered off into worship
of the golden calf, but he wandered in
his own charming eloquent style, and
as long as there must be people to talk
that sort of stuff, let it be people who
talk well like Watkins"
And the Sunday Morning Call says:
1.-The brightest and best speech
made at the Jackson club banquet at
Omaha, Friday night, was made by
Albert Watkins, of Lincoln"

The Press on the Treasury Cases.

Black River Falls Banner (Rep)
We feel confident, however that Nj.
Newman has decided this question
according to law, and are inclined to
believe that his decision will not be
reversed by the supreme court.
Appleton Post, Rep)
Presuming that Judge Newman's
decision is law it nevertheless bears
about the same relationship to equity
that the assault of prize fighter on an
unpretentious citizen, with his hands
tied behind him, would bear to fair
play.
Chicago Press, Qnd. Rep)
The Democrats have stolen a march
upon the Republicans. They have
accomplished genuine reform in the
supposed hidebound Republican Wis
consin by their successful prosecution
of some Banditti, called treasures.
who held up the whole state without
as much as a walking stick for a
weapon, nothing but blank checks.
NaTshfeld Times, (Rep)
In rendering his decision on the
treasury cases, Judge Newman seems
to have followed the lines laid down
by W. T. Villas, totally ignoring every
point advanced by the other members
of the bar, interested in the case.
Minneapolis Tribune. (Rep)
When man is paid literally to care
for public money his salary is supposed
to be given for that purpose. He has
no more right to the interest upon
these moneys than has trustee who
is paid to administer Cher peoples
funds.

1t is noticeable that the republican
newspapers of the safe are somewhat
chary about yenturing an opinion as
to how the supreme court viii handle
the apportionment matter. They were
50 suddenly endorsed by the decision
of Judge Newman that much Of
their former self confidence has been
knocked out Of them. They are learn
ing law slowly.

A few weeks ago The DodgeYille
Chronicle eXpounded the law in the
treasury cases, showing to its own
complete satisfaction that the state
could not recover single dollar from
the ex-treasurers, who had apprOpri-
ated to their own use and behOOf hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars earned
by the public fund balances. Now
The Chronicle says:
The decision of Judge Newman in
the state treasury cases that the treas
uTers will have to pay the interest they
received into the treasurer, may be the
law and it may not; but if the SUI
preme court decide the matter either
in the same way, or the opposite, it
will be the law whether it is the law
or not; therefore all parties are to con-
graduate themselves that they are
eventually to have the law on the
subject that will forever settle the
dispute"
The Chronicles progress from so
striking an object lesson in law is very
disappointing.

Democratic Congressional Committee.

Democratic Congressional Committee.
The sauk County Democrat.
The Democratic committee Of the
3rd congressional district met at
Grotophor8t & Buckley's Office in this
city yesterday to effect an organiza-
ton. The counties Of Juneau, Sank,
Vernon, Iowa and Richland were rep
resented. On account of its location
it was decided to have the headquar-
ers Of the committee in Sank county,
and the convention will probably be
held at Baraboo. Chas. Keith of
Reedsburg was elected chairman and
j. Z. Wright of Baraboo secretary of
the committee.

The excitement occasioned by the
talk of war with Chill has greatly sub
sided. 1t is quite likely that the mat
ter will be settled in a manner quite
satisfactory to the United STATES. A
peaceful solution of the affair may be
disappointing to some warlike spirits;
but not to the great body Of the
people, who love happiness, peace and
plenty rather than war and bloOdShed.

The Way We Should Judge.
Hnrrnr,c Nnnl-lr-


The conduct Of Chilli must be
judged by us according to the recog-
nized comfy of nations. With her
motives, indeed we are not concerned,
but we are bound to csnsider the pc
culiar circumstances of the situation,
aud to treat Chilli precisely as we
should treat England or any power Of
the first class. To foment war feeling
is criminal. We are already not with
out fault in the matter. So far as
appears, our conduct in sending and
retaining Eagan as our minister was
needlessly irritating, and the stronger
we are the less like bully need we
behave.

a Good COnceit in Ourselves.

The Milwaukee Telegraph.
The principles Of the republican
party are as just to day as the were,
and the fact that mistakes have been
made by the republicans makes it none
the less desirable that the party Of pro-
gress, Of patriotism, Of advanced
thought, the only great National party
that has won'the right by good works,
to live, should take it's place at-the
front and continue to administer che
affairs of the state and Nation.

A fearless newspaper press and an

Freedom Of Trade is Healthful.


The real evil with which we are now
dealing in this country is corruption
political corruption. The radical mis-
chief Of protective tariff, as of all
class legislation, is its necessary breed
ing Of such corruption. It produces
national decentralization. Freedom of
trade, like all other freedom, IS nat
ural and healthful. But it's restriction
at once introduces demoralizing con-
Gict of individual interests. The great
argument for the tariff reform which,
as Garfield said, ultjmates in free
trade is its justice. And it is not only
just in itself, but. it destroys the
motive for general corruption.

Going to Get There.

The broad scope of the Helena and
Castle railway system is but little under
stood outside of the immediate pro-
jcctors, who have been quietly but in-
dustriously at work for the past year o,
more on their now maturing plans. Il
seems to he clear that the route of the
line will be so courscd in the Sheer
creek and Smith river direction as vii
enable easy rail connection with Ncihar,
and Barker and command at the best the
important mineral and timber resources
of those districts. The Helena and Gas.
tie road is this year going to materalize
into a reality, and the project is one
that commands such substantial co.
operation and backing tina. it cannot be
stopped or hndcrcd short of completion

William Mackey, of Neihart, was in
town on his way to Chicago. Last night
he walked into the Coliseum theater on
Wood street with two diamond rings
sparkling on his fingers. He had
scarcely entered before one of the at
taches of the place named Miles recog-
nizcd the rings as the property of Hattie
Day. They were stolen from her several
weeks ago in the Park thcater ut Great
Falls. Miles at once ro:ified Office r
Scharrcnbroch, who approached Mackey
and asked him where he got the rings,
at the same time informing him that
they had been stolen. Mackey said the
man from whom he bought them was in
the building and pointed out Dennis
Finson. Finson was arrested by the
officer and acknowledged that he sold
the rings to Mackey but said he bought
them few days ago in Great Falls.
He was taken to the police headquarters
and after close questioning by Sergeant
Nicholson admitted that he had stolen
them. The rings are valued at ovcl
800 and Mackcy is out about *G5.-

Missionary Item.

This is rightly termed the Mission
airy Century, and the last forty years
has been especially noted for activity
in this line of church work. The
communicants of the various churches
in the United States will perhaps
approximate l3,OOO,OOO or one fifth
of the entire population. The total
yearly receipts of the missionary So
cieties are in the ~neighborhood of
$S,OOO,OO0, average of a little more
than sixty cents per member. An
increase of 100 per cent over forty
years ago. Yet when we consider
the amount of wealth within the pale
of the church, this amount is shame
fully low. Many have given mag
niticent sums, but multitudes of com
municants have given nothing, or
only Il few dimes, and those spasm-
odically. Has some one else paid
my sixty cents for me?

Mining Decisions.

The following digest of decisions
of the Secretary of the Interior, re.
lating to the industry of mining.
were especially reported for the En-
gineering and Mining Journal:
Where a patented placer is found
to be in conflict with a lode claim.
and the facts are such as to warrant
judicial proceedings for the vacation
of the patent as to the land in con
f''ct, the patentec may, by means
conveyance, surrender the title of
such land to the United States. and
so rcinvest the Department with
jurisdiction to again dispose of the
land.
Townsite, homestead, pre-emption
and placer-mining laws provide that
entries made under them shall not
include any prior known lodes or
veins, and it is the practice of the
Department when proofs are made
that mines we've known previous to
entry and issue of patent, to recon-.
mend suit, to set aside such patents,
or such parts thereof as conflict with
said mines--ln re.Juniata (Colo.)

In computing the period within
which an adverse claim must be filed,
the first day Of publication should be
excluded.
II the last day Of publication falls
on legal holiday, the averse claim
may properly be filed on the bust
ness day next ensuing.
1t is a valid reason for refusing to
accept an adverse claim that proof
of publication has not been received.
The statutory fees for filing and
acting upon an adverse claim cannot
be required of the adverse claimant
in the event Of his claim being re-
jected by the local land office.
An appeal will properly lie from

earn his fee, as big as six months
salary of the president of the United
States? Well, hardly. He report
ed adversely on the Anaconda.
One of the strangest freaks in
mining engineering was developed
in connection with the famous On
tario mine at Park City, Utah. This
is now among the greatest producers
in the country. At IA time in it's
history the eastern vein ran out 1t
seemed as if the end of that mine
had been reached. The people in
terested, among whom were the
Walker Brothers, of Salt Lake, spent
*l,NO,OOO in trying to find the east
ern continuation of the vein. AT
length, after having expert after ex-
pert study and report without sue
cess, the owners abandoned hope.
Then the shaft boss, a man named
John DAILY. went to work on his
own hook. Instead of trying to To-
cate a continuation on the east, he
went to the opposite end and began
to prospect for continuation on the
west. The owners had already made
efforts in that direction. They had
followed what should have been the
course Of the vein In a straight line.
They found seams, but nothing in
paying quantities, and had con.
cluded that the vein did not extend
in that direction. DAILY pursued a
different plan. lie went on the
theory that the vein might be found
on the west, but not in astraight
course. He got hold ofsome capital
and tried to the north and south of
the direct line. The ore body was
struck, and its connection with the
Ontario vein was established. The
vein had followed the course of the
hill with such a bend as to make
an angle of 2o degrees. With this
discovery the Ontario become a
greater mine than ever.
The above extracts from the pro-
ceedings were furnished the Ana
conda Standard by r. Lloyd. The
full proceedings of the meeting will
be printed in book form.

TRUTH ABOUT CREEDE.

Creed continues to attract crowds,
and the crowds straightway go crazy
as soon as they reach there. They
are not, however, half as crazy about
mining properties as they are about
town lots. So far as Jimtown, the
principal settlement, is concerned,
its location is crazy. 1t is where
water overflows the flat from one to
three or four feet deep every spring.
And the men building houses there
all appear to know the fact, but
with mysterious trust in luck they
go ahead, each one seemingly will
ing to risk what others risk. The
town is full of tinhorn gamblers,
professionals and suckers. 1t has
been likened to Virginia City, Dead.
wood and Leadville in their palmv
days. The only real similarity is
found in the saloons, gambling
houses and shanty character of houses.
In the three towns mentioned the
population, was mining population,
which bore with it the unmistakeable
stamp of its occupation and life,
Creede is made up of grangers and
tenderfeet from Kansas and other
farming regions. The typical miner
and prospector is not everywhere
about.
So far as the mining outlook is
concerned, it is good, but there is no
reason for the wild talk one hears
about "blanket veins," ''ihe noun
tain underla;d with mineral etc.
Creed is a typical San Juan region;
the country rock is eruptice, and is
called trachyte. 1t has been some-
what disturbed since it's first deposi.
ton, and occasionly a dyke of trap or
porphyry cuts through the country.
Veins are found adjoining these
dykes. Down the river below Jim
town or Creede, three or four miles,
there are exposures of sedimentary
rocks, mostly sandstone, though oc-
casionally limestone is seen. This
country has been uptilted and fault
ed, and is cut with dykes and in
places overrun with porphyry. Dis
coveries of low grade iron carbonate
ores and some galena, and reported
from these sedimentary regions
What they may amount to, of course,
no one can tell. Faith and hope
lead many enthusiasts to swear that
they are world beaters. The rest of
us will supply the charity-thc third
number of the three graces
trust that we'll worn doubts and pes
simistic fears may play false for
once, and the optimistic pumpkin
husking geological experts and
SINNERS" who own them may reap a
rich reward, and that the place may
be a world heater. But just now it
is not. The fissure vein region.
however, is first t-class. Denver Min
ing Industry.
