AN IMPATIENT PAPER.

The Columbus Enqulrer-Sun, IN
an half column editorial, wants to
know: "Is Steve Clay candidate
for Governor
Some weeks age, the Marietta
! JOURNAL published an interview
with Mr.. Clay in which he said he
was not candidate for Governor,
that the election would not take
place in sixteen months and he was
not prepared to say whether he
would be a candidate or not; but if
he made up his mind to be, he would
unhesitatingly announce the fact
through the public prints. The
!. Columbus Enquirer. Sun read this
interview and commented on it.
This ought to have been satisfactory
to the Enquirer-Sun, but it seems
it is not. That paper would force
Mr.. Clay in an off year to an imme-
date conclusion, regardless of the
fact that the race is not until next
year, when Mr.. Clay is not decided
in the matter himself. Why pro-
pound this question to Mr.. Clay
any more than to General Evans,
Speaker Atkinson, Col. ]. w. Rob>
ertson, Col. Gambler and others
whose names have been spoken of
in connection with this office ?
AS for MIR Clay making a speech
in Bullock county last week, he ex~
plains it clearly-it was TO Confed-
crate veterans; he was telegraphed
tor to come as substitute to fill
Mr.. DuBignon's place, who was the
speaker for the occasion and who
could not be present owing to law
case. We know that Mr.. Clay had
decided at one time not to go, but
late in the afternoon Of Monday he
telegraphed he would be present.
General Evans has made several
addresses to Confederate veterans,
but the Enquirer-Sun doesn't seem
to be exercised on that account.
For the Enquirer-Sun to single
Mr.. Clay out, is a compliment, in.
deed. Mr.. Clay has never done
anything to forfeit the good opinion
of the people of Georgia. He has
been honored time and again by his
home people, elected Speaker Of the
House and is now President of the
Senate, and in all places of public
trust, he has been faithful, and if in
the future he decides to be candi-
date tor Governor, he will but ex>
ercise Democratic right and a
laudablo ambition and if Mr.. Clay
enters the race, the Euquirer-Sun
could not 10 better than to give
this brainy young Georgian it's able
support.

PEOPLE read too much and think
not enough. You meet folks every
day who have read book after book
and yet so little thought was put
upon them that they cannot recall
a dozen lines or thoughts that the
books contained. A book makes
very little impression upon the mind
unless its contents are meditated
over and an effort is made to treasure
up the leading thoughts.

The Mystery Solved.

Numerous reasons for the shutting
down of the tin mill at Hill City, and
speeulatiops as to the future movements
ofthe company, have continued to cir
culate throughout tie Hills during the
past week, but none Of them have born
the stamp Of authenticity. Not more
than day or two ago the CHRONICLE
was reliable informed that the sole
cadse of cessation Of operations was q
slight disagreement among the stock.
holders Of the company. superintend-
ent Childs made the request some time
ago. that he be furnished with means
sufficient to open up new properties and
prepare to keep the mill running in
definitely at full capacity. II was his
belief that the mines being worked at
that time would not produce enough to
supply the mill, when the surplus on
the dumps had been exhausted. To
prevent delay and idleness of the
machinery, he proposed 20 lafgefy m
crease the number af men employed in
the mines. To carry out his plans
would neeessitate additional and heavy
expenditures. The officers Of the com
pany. and the principal stockholders
were ready and willing to put up their
share of the money, but a number of
the smaller stockholders have refused to
do So and the shut down" is the con-
sequence. The men who are acting as
obstruetionists will be compelled to put
up or sell out, and in all probability
work will be resumed within a very
short time. 1t may be tomorrow, and
it may not be for several weeks, but we
are assured by those in position TO know,
that it will not be longer than two
months. Improvements abont the mill
are being pushed right along, the force
on the Mohawk has been increased
from eight to twelve. the pumps are

encountered little difficulty, not al
together unlocked for, and it must be
overcome before anything else ia done.
There is nothing alarming about the
present condition Of affairs in the tin
district; nothing in the course pursued
by the company which need discourage
anyone.

PROJECTED CHANGE OF THE MIN
ING LAWS.

House Bill No ll9. an act to amend
section 2O0l of chapter 10. of the Co,n-
piled Laws Of 1887. has been introduced
by M. ]. Scanlan, representative from
Custer county, and it reads ss follows:
Section /. That section two thousand
and one (200l) chapter nineteen (l9) Of
the compiled laws Of 1887 Of the State of
South Dakota, be amended to read as
follows: Section Before filing such
location certificate the discoverer shall
locate his claim by first sinking dis
covery shaft thereon, said shaft to be
not less than five feet wide by seven feet
long by eight feet deep, to show a well
defined mineral vein or lode. Or by an
excavation Of an equivalent number of
cubic feet made by an open cut, cross
cut, tunnel, or adit, showing q we'll de-
fined mineral vein or lode. Second by
posting at tho point of discovery on the
surface a plain sign or notice containing
the name OF the lode, the name of the
locator or locators, and the date of dis
covery the number of feet claimed in
length on either side Of the discovery
and the number Of feet in width claimed
on each side of the lode. Third, by

Sec. 2. Rspeal.1 That all acts and
parts of acts In conflict herewith are
hereby repealed.
Sec. 8. Emergency An emergency
is hereby declared to exist. therefore
this act shall take effect from and sfter
it's passage and approval.
BY reference TO the section Of the
statutes which Mr.. Scanlan wishes to
amend with the above bill, il NAV be
seen that the two are one and the ssme,
with the exception Of that part which
fixes the measurements Of the discovery
shaft. The slight change contemplated
would not be Of the least benefit to the
country or the miners and 1t 10 difficult
to see what desirable object il to be at
taiped by the passage Of the bill in
question. No doubt the gentleman has
the best interests Of he country at
heart, but in this instance his purpose
