Z. P Mills, who is identified with the

intendent Julian Smith now has force
of fifteen men employed and is pushing

many days before water will begin to
run. The company will be prepared for

Decision in a Case Involving Water Rights
on Dempsey Creek.

In the district court, last Saturday,
Judge Durfee handed down decision
in the case of Peter johnson ct al VS..
n. j. Bielenbcrg ct al, involving the
question of priority Of certain water
rights on Dempsey creek. The suit in
effect was one to quiet title and the court
establishes the rights with reference to
priority and the quantities of water to
which the several parties to the suit are
entitled, as follows:
Peter johnson in the spring Of 1866
appropriated of these waters 1O3 inches;
Peter Johnson, 1867, 80 inches; n. j.
Bielenberg, 1865, 174 inches; N. ]. Biel-
enberg, same year, 100 inches; n. J.
Bielenberg, 1873 200 inches; John and
Henry Quinlan, April, 1865, 1O5 inches;
John and Henry Quinlan, April, 1866, 103
inches; John and Henry Quinlan, 1866,
50 inches; John and Henry Quinlan, 1868,
1S5 inches; Patrick Quinlan, May, 1866,
103 inches and, in 1867, so inches; kohrs
l. Bielenberg, 1869, 90 inches; w. T.
Elliott and Eliza c. Elliott, 1865, 100
inches, and in March, 1871, 100 inches,
April, 1888, $50 inches; Eli Dezourdi,
May, 1878, 95 inches, and in May, 1874,
50 inches; Peter Normandin, April, 1872,
50 inches, and in April, 1881, As inches;
]. S. Turner, May, 1869, 113 inches; Peter
A. Pierce, May, 1869, 113 inches, and in
1871, 40 inches; Herman johnson, 1866,
$50 inches.
The court finds that ever since the year
1867, Patrick Quinlan and predecessors
in interest Of the defendant, Peter John
son, have appropriated and used two
thirds of the said $50 inches Of water
adversely to all the world, and are enti-
tied to the same; that the predecessors
in interest OF the defendant johnson, in
1871, appropriated 40 inches, and in 1891,
no inches; that i'll 1877 John johnson
appropriated go inches; that A. w. Sager,
in April, 1881, appropriated 45 inches;
that James Beal appropriated, in 1884,
100 inches.
The court further finds that the defend
ants, John Nov, James Montgomery,
James Perkins, John Perkins, Harry
Green, Lew Coleman and james Cantner,
appropriated none of the waters Of Demp-
sey creek whatsoever.

The Cornucopia.

Theo. Hurst states that the Cornucopia,
on Baggs creek, owned by an Anaconda
syndicate and himself, has developed
nearly two feet Of high grade ore. None
is being raised, however, it being the
purpose Of the owners to open up the
mine and get it il shape for rapid pro
duction pending an advance in silver.
They have only one wall as yet, but will
directly begin crosscut to determine
the width Of the vein. The Cornucopia
certainly makes phenomenal showing,
development considered, and has all the
ear marks Of a bonanza

The protection and monopoly organs
are pouring lot of rot into the
minds 81 their readers about the
great reduction Of prices Of conmo-
t!ities. making the claim that protect
ion in building up industry at home
has brought about this state Of affairs.
There is undoubtedly large decrease
in the price Of many articles, but the
same has not been brought around
by protection. The cause has been
brought about by making tie rarcllas-
ing power OF dollar greater. Accord
ing to the money in circulation in 1865
and 1872, the price, relatively, of
manufactured artirles are higher
now than 1T the close Of the war. 1t
should he kept in mind that protection
has not lowered prices of home manu-
facturc, but by burning up green
backs, demonstrating silver and other
acts. at the dictation of Wall street
and English capitalists, the circulating
medium has become scarcer which
makes the difference, generally, in
the price IF goods.

however, it would he necd!essly pes
simistiy to expect repetition of the
cxccsses of the last two years" Has
it indeed come to this, with millions of
families compelled to do without cot
ton that they would gladly use if they
could? What sort of an answer is
this to capitalists, professional politi-
cans, etc, who say to the farmer, raise
better crops, pay less attention to pol
tics and more to cultivation, and all
will he with you" If good crops are
national disasters, and it has become
4 type OF pcssimism to predict or cx.
pect good crops, then agricultural edu-
cation, expensive machinery. and all
things that make for greater produc

to choose successor to Roger q

by 5000 majority. Then it was learn

the probability that the Peoples party
candidate had been elected. In any
event it was great victory, because.
at previous elections the Democratic
majority had been over 1900, and
