TUESDAY EVEN SEPT PC. 1893.
Concerning our Pension List.

oui - S''c'
BENJAMIN Harrison, of Indianapolis de-
livered a speech at the G. A. K. c
campment recently held in thatci'y' II!
which he insulted every man ofthe Or
panization who loves honor and de-
centy. We still refuse to believe that
the Grand Army of the Republic is
chiefly composed of men who seek TO
prostitute their patriotism. Our faith
in the integrity of the order has re-
ceiyed some stunning blows, however,
and we are forced to believe that Ii Is
at least dominated by disloyal men.
Indiana lately erected magnificent
monument to her soldiers, and Indian
apolis this year subscribed Sl5O,Oo0 ior
the G. A. r. encampment. Yet the
G. A. r. insisted that the dates of the
Mexican war on this monument be
moved up to an obscure place on the
shaft. Even with this concession, the
G. A. r. changed its route and insulted
the soldiers monument by refusing to
march past it. There were some
Georgia and Mississippi troops in the
Mexican war, consequently that war was
f, ught by tlaito S. After thus shame
fully affronting every instinct of honest
loyalv, these men listened to Mr.. Har-
rison saw: "Has the moth of avaricc,
the canker of greed, so eaten into the
hearts of this generation that they are
unmindful of these men? God forbid
And in the face of the fact that this
generation is paying annually one hun
bred and sixty million dollars in pen
sions-nearly one-half of its total revc-
uues-four times as much as the com.
bined pension lists OF Europe,-to near
Nv four hundred thousand more men
than ever enlisted in the Confederate
service-twenty-eight years after the
close of the warn SPITE OF his. no
one in Mr.. Harrisons audience had
the spirit to get up and kick him hard
and repeatedly, or even to resent the
insult in a less ostentatious manner. L,
is hard to realize how t e Grand Army
of the Republic could have been placed
in its pres ent shameful at itude? Is
it any wonder that the people should
doubt the patriotism of men who seek
to coin it? Cannot the rank and file OF
the G. A. r. be brought to see that the
element which controls it is gradually
placing the order on a par with the
women who sell their bodies? This is
page of our national history that began
in honorand glory and bids fair to end in
disgrace,-if the honest element in the
orier does not soon q sert itself. AS
for Benjamin Harrison, the moth of dis
honest partisanship, and the canker OF
demagogism have feasted upon his
mind.-Puck.

A Stitch in Time,

The railroad company has kept q
large gang of men busy all winter or
the railroad between this place and Ar.
mington, whose object is to get the road
in condition to prevent damage by
spring floods. Span bridges have beer
built and the grade, on the creek side
has been lined with a layer of stone.
This work, we understand is completed
as far up as Monarch and that the force
is making its way in the direction OF
Neihart.
There is twice the amount of snow in
the hills today that is usual at this
month of the year and if the weather
continues wet, the depth of this beauti-
full covering will increase for the next
month. 1t is not usual for this to move
in the Belt Mountains till the month of
June. And if it should then go of with
rains we may expect the flats Of Belt to
be inundated, and in many places the
beds of the railroad and wagon road to
be the place of a rolling torrent. The
large rocky point near Oklahoma should
be blasted out. The grade through the
narrows must be banked with heavy
stone and every precautiOn taken that
the silver metropolis may not be a city
of desolation while the fountains of
Belt are discharging their aqueous SUI
perfiuity.

WINTER WHEAT CROP.
Prospects Not Encouraging For Big

Prospects Not Encouraging For Big
Yield.
TOLEDO, o.. April 25.-During tho
past four days S. A. King & Co., Of this
city, have received reports from 1925
leading grain dealers and millers, GOV.
ering every county of the great winter
wheat states, which raise two-thirds of
the winter wheat in the nation.
Ohio makes the most favorable show.
Ing. Two-third of the reports say lex.
c%ellent" and the remainder report an
average crop. Ohio raises about 49,.
100000 bushels per year. Most of the
crop reports note an improvement since
April l.. and the average condition is
somewhat better than q year ago. The
area sown was almost as large as the
previous fall and very little was winter
killed.
Flowing 1t Up in Kansas.
Kansas, which last year raised H.
200, QUO, or nearly as much as Illiuois,
Missouri and Michigan combined. now
a the poorest prospect, and for not
much over half a crop. The condition
Is still growing worse. While the area
sown was increased a little, there is a
much larger amount than usual being
plowed up.
Indiana reports indicate . fall in the
average crop. The condition has been
improving, but does not average quite as
good as q year ago when they raised
4O,OOO,OO bushels. The area sown there
is a trif1s less, but not over the usual
amount has been plowed up.
Illinois, Michigan and Missouri now
promise below an average and all about
the same. They raised about Is, 900, 900
last year. Missouri and Illinois show
no material change recently, but Michi-
gan has been improving. Illinois and
Missouri have a poorer outlook than q
year ago, and Michigan only a trife
worse. The area sown in Missouri was
fully as much as the previous fall. and
almost as much as in Illinois and
Michigan. Illinois reports nearly a
quarter plowed up, Missouri near
ly fifth and Michigan a
trife more than the usual amount.
About q quarter of the last crop yet re-
mains in these states. Michigan has
the largest percentage left, Ohio nearly
a. much, while Illinois and Missouri
have the least.

THE GREAT BONANZA.
The Benton Mine Shows Vastly In
creased Riches at Every
Advance.

We visited the Benton this week
where are now employed a large force Of
miners and where the richest ore in
camp is found. The main working tun.
mel is now about 700 feet in the hill,
and in such formation three shifts a day
easily makes % to 32 feet per week,
considering that it measures 5x74 in the
clear. Three times the tunnel has run
through small stringers Of ore and the
present appearance in the face would in
dictate that they will reach the main vein
at no great distance. Mr.. Barker, the
superintendent, tells us that no actual
survey has been made but that he would
estimate the distance to the vein to be
to be not over 80 or Is feet. This vein
is the one from which the richest ore
has been taken, the last car netting the
company $40 to the ton in gold and
silver. AS is estimated the new tunnel
will tap this vein at a point about 2aa
feet lower down after which slopes will
be opened below and all work will be
prosecuted from this tunnel.
"Frosty Barker" is the foreman of the
works. At present only four men are
working in ore and the mex car, which
will be a world beater, will be ready for
shipment about the fifth prox. There is
NJ doubt that this company is preparing
to erect reduction works as soon as the
new workings are opened and drifts and
slopes are properly arranged.

w. j. Clark returned to Neihart from
New York on Monday where he has
just cOnsummated one of the largest
silver mining deals that has ever taken
place in Montana. The parties to the
deal are members of a New York syndi-
cate, representing millions Of dollars
and the owners of the Broadwater group
of mines, which consist of J. j. Hill,
president of the Great Northern r. r..
the Broadwater estate and James Cham.
berlain. The amount paid is said to be
about 5000 1000.
Considering that silver is deprecated
in value no better advertisement for our
mines is possible. The simple saying
and heralding abroad the wonderful
mines we have does not carry near SC
much weight as when at this stage OF
the market of silver a large company
puts up the solid cash to. the tune OF
100000 for one of our properties
"Has Neihart any mines worth speaking
Off" has been the query on the outside
Such doubts now can not possibly ex.
list. Our camp is growing steadily and
rapidly and within three years time Mel.
hart will be the largest silver producer
in the state.
This property has already been de.
veloped by means of a tunnel 800 feet
long, besides numerous shafts. The
workings expose large ore bodies at va
rious parts of the mine, in places as
much as nine feet wide, the contents Of
which are very rich. AT the face of the
tunnel the pay ore lies in a body eighI
feet wide, sampling from side to side
about 70 ounces in silver per ton
Thousands of tons of ore are laying or
the dump which will be Immediately
sent away for treatment.
w. ]. Clark by the new arrangement
becomes the manager for the company
and Thomas Starbird the mining super
intendcnt. 1t is announced by the man.
ager as the intention of the company to
build a substantial road to the mine as
O as the snow leaves the hill, anG
that the force of men in the mine will
be increased as fast as place can be
made for them and work will be pushed
with all expedition. 1t is only a ques.
ton of a short time till the ground will
be adorned with hosting works and its
W quartz mill. When nature placed
the mineral in this famous vein she
could not have shaped the surface
ground more admirably for the location
of mining works. Ore from the main
tunnel can be shot directly into a mill
where it may grayitate through the diff.
crent processes till reduction is complete
and there is still a large area below fol
tailings.
1t is hardly necessary to state that
Nelhart will assume an air Of prosperity
in a short time. Considering that al
present we have 200 miners at work and
only a town of 1000 people, the out
look is SO bright that competent men
say that in a short time we will have in.
stead of 1000 the handsome population
of 10000 people in Neihart.
