The Belle Fourche Bee everlastingly
lampoons Sheriff Wamsley Of that
(Butte) county. for his repeated failure
TO hold prisoners after their capture.
The Bee cites some very aggravatirg
instances where cattle rustlars have
escaped his custody rs a result Of his
careless management, and sums up
series of grave charges, which, if sus-
tained, would he sufficient to impeach
him on the first ballot. The frequent
escares of criminals from the Butte
county Jail had led US to the conclusion
that the institution was not uni ke the
old Fall River county Jail, where a
prisoner, desirous Of making his escape,
had only to lean up against the wall and
fall out, but the Bee speaks of steel
cell, which puts different phase upon
the matter, and more firmly fixes the
responsibility upon the sheriff, who, it
would seem from the Bees statements,
has not adopted in his code the most
important rule of all, "let no guilty man
escape"

Whatever degree of alarm the citizens
Of Deadwood may have experienced by
reason Of the much threatened removal
of the county seat from that place, be it
much or little, may now be safely dis
missed. While there was possibility
Of harmony between Lead City and
Spearfish, there was bare chance Of
success in the matter of removal. but
now, since it has transpired that Spear
fish is only in it for what there is in it
for her. the last spark Of hope tor either
place has vanished into thin air. A lack
Of unity in the selection Of q candidate

The late presidential election indicat-
ed great preponderance of democrats in
the country. Where are they now PIX.
A large number Of them are holding
down the government Offices; a still
larger number are the tired. waiting ex-
pectants for official positions. and the
big end of the balance, having become
disgustad with the management of
public affairs. have escaped from the
tottering party arena by reason Of the
weak and defenseless plank in its plat
form that declares for tariff for revenue
only. and are now firmly established ia
the fold Of the party of protection. pro

ExState Mining Inspector, Titus
Corkhill. having visited this property
and made careful examination of the
same. says, among other things: II
consider this one of the best prospects
that has ever come under my notice, in
this or any other country. And il
it is being properly h ndIed and worked
upon practical basis, will in my opin-
ion. be lasting and of vital importance
to the Southern Hills mining districts.
But on being worked impractically, like
many other enterprises similar in char
acter, almost characteristic of the south
ern Hills in past years, this, like many
others, can be made drone upon the
hands of any company. First have the
vein and ore bodies properly developed.
Secondly have the extent of the ore
bodies properly understood. Thirdly
have your drifts, raises and wines,
cf utes and tracts in perfect order for
handling the ore, and last but not least,
have practical miners at the head Of
affairs. and when milling the ores. have
mill men of long experience that know
how to arrange their plates, tables dies,
taps, shoes and cams, and are versed in
the handling of quicksilver to save the
gold, and then, and only then will min
ing and milling be a success and not a
| hopeless failure as heretofore"

FROM THE J. r. NINE.

Wentworth Rice returned yesterday
from the j. K. mining plant, near Hill
City, to which place he went three
weeks ago TO put in and operate two of
his new concentrators. He discovered
that one machine would do the work
admirably, as they concentrate about
one hundred into one and the product
is very rich. Mr.. Rice came up here to
have a casting made for the machine.
A few slight alterations will have to be
made. when he is satisfied the results
viii be highly satisfactory. The plant
is idle at present, as a hosting plant IL

The tin mining industry Of Cornwall
is just now in 4 very doubtful condition,

have not permitted reductions in min.
