The fact is. the past two years have
opened the eyes of the mine managers
to the fact that their business was being
conducted in an extravagant manner
and the mine owners have been clipping

BOARD OF HEALTH.
| am entirely convinced that we ought
, not be longer without national board OF
health or national health officer charged
with no other duties than such as pertain
to the protection of our country from the
invasion of pestilence and disease. Ihls
would involve the establishment by such
board or officers of proper quarantine
precautions for the necessary aid and con-
sultation Of local authorities on the sub
Ject, prompt advice and assistance TO
local boards of health or health officers
in the suppression of contagious diseases,
and in cases where there are no such
local boards or officers, the immediate
direction by the national board or off1cer
of measures of suppression; constant and
authentic information concerning the
health of foreign countries and all parts
of our own country as related to con-
tagious diseases and consideration OF
regulations to be enforced in foreign
ports to prevent the introduction of con-
tagion into our cities and the measures
which should be adopted to secure their
enforcement.
There seems to be at this time a de-
,ided inclination to discuss measures of
protection against contagious diseases in
International conference with view of
adopting means of mutual assistance.
The creation of such national health
establishment would greatly aid our
standing in such conference and improve
our opportunities to avail ourselves of
heir benefits. l earnestly recommend the
Inauguration of a national board of health
or similar national instrumentality, be-
ieving the same to be a needed proven
ton against contagious diseases and in
the interest of the safety and health of
our people.

ANEXODvs FROM WARDNER.
People Leaving the Strike District in
Large Numbers

Wardner, Idaho, Dec. There has
been a regular exodus from Wardner
during the past few days. About 20
men have gone to California and nearly
200 have scattered to different parts of
the northwest, many of them taking
their families with them Nearly 20
trunks were carried to the depot today.
and others are preparing to leave.
There is no doubt now but the closing
of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine
by Manager Bradley meant a winter
without work for Wardner's families.
The buckets have been taken off the
tramway and things are being fixed up
and laid away for a long season of idle
ness. Both sides are adhering to their
plans and the merchants and property
owners are greatly discouraged over

THE POORMAN NINE.
The Poorman mine of which Patsy
Clark of Spokane is a large owner, is
larger than the Tiger. and has the finest
all-round plant in the Occur dAlene's.
1t employs about 200 men in all and
the concentration handles an average of
$50 tons every "a hours. 1t is being
worked similarly to the Tiger, and a
shaft has been sunk 900 feet 1t has
great electric pumps on the 600-foot
level and large compressor for work
ing the air drills. About 400 electrical
horse power has been generated from
water. The ninth level shows an ex-
cellent body of rich galena Like the
Tiger also, the mine is worked in slopes
and the upper levels are filled with
the refuse of the new work below. The
Poorman ships from 1900 to 1900 tons
of concentrates each month.

AhrulPo AMI NAV Al VIA IEkS.
Plea for More Vessels of Defense and
Offcnsc.
Attention is called to the report of the
secretary of the navy, which shows very
gratifying progress in the construction
of ships for our new navy, All the YES
sells now building. including the torpedo
boats ordered at the last session of
congress and excepting the first-class
battle ship Iowa, will probably be COM
pleted during the coming fiscal year.
The estimates for the increase of the
navy for the year ending June 80. 1895,
are large, but they include practically
the entire sum necessary to complete
and equip all the new ships not now in
commission. SO that unless more ships
are authorized the appropriations for
the naval service for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1896 should fall below the
estimates for the coming year by at
least $4,000. 900.
The secretary presents with much
earnestness a plea for the authorize
ton of three additional battle ships
and 10 or II torpedo boats. While the
unarmored vessels heretofore author
lied, including those now nearing COM
pletion, will constitute a fleet which ii
is believed is sufficient for ordinary
cruising purposes in time of peace, we
have now completed and in process of
construction but four hrst-class battle
ships and but few torpedo boats. If we
are to have navy for war-lille opera
tions, offensive and defensive. We GER
tainly ought TO increase both the num-
Der of battle ships and torpedo boats.
The manufacture of armor requires
an expensive plant and the aggregation
of many skilled workmen. All the ar
NOR necessary to complete the vessels
now building will be delivered before
the lst of June next. If no new con
tracts are given out contractors mus
disband their workmen and their plant!
must lie idle. Battle ships authorize,
at this time would not be well under wa.
until late in the coming fiscal year
and at least three years and one-hal
from the date of the contract would h
required for their completion. The sec
rotary states that not more than Is pc
cent of the cost of such ships need b
included in the appropriation for tn
coming year.
BUILD MORE SHIPS.
/ recommend that provision be mad
for the construction of additional bal
tleships and torpedo boats. The sec
rotary recommends the manufactur

GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS.

Efforts are being made in the direc-
ton of a gradual reduction of the num-
Der of Indian contract schools, so that
in a comparatively short time they may
give way altogether to government
schools, and it is hoped that the change
may be so gradual as to be perfected
without too great expense to the gov
eminent or due regard of investments
made by those who have established
and are maintaining such contract
schools. The appropriation for the
current year. ending June 30. 1895. APP
plicable to the ordinary expenses of the
Indian service, amounts to 1913 0O3 IS
being less by $663, 24064 than the sum
appropriated on the same account for
! the previous year.

ARMY AGENTS.

Tho indications are that the detail of
army officers as Indian agents will re-
suit in improved management on the
reservation Whenever allotments
are made and any Indian on the reser-
walton has previously settled upon
lot and cultivated it or shown a dispo-
sition to improve it in any way, the lot
should certainly be allotted to him and
this should be made plainly obligatory
of the statute. In the light of experience
and considering the uncertainty of the
Indian situation and its exigencies in
the future. l am not only disposed to
be very cautious in making allotments
but incline to agree with the secretary
of the interior in the opinion that when
| allotmentS are made the balance of
reservation land remaining after allot-
| ment instead of being bought by the
| government from the Indians and open
| ed for settlement with such scandals
and unfair practices as seem unavoid-
able, should remain for a time at least
| as common land, or be sold by the gov
| eminent on behalf of the Indians in an
orderly way and at fixed prices, to be
determined by its location and desira-
bility; and that the proceeds, less eX-
penses, should be held in trust for the
| benefit of the Indian proprietors.
The intelligent Indian school manage
ment of the past year has been followed
by gratifying results. Efforts have
been made TO advance the work in I
sound and practicable manner. Fivt
Institutes of Indian school manager
have been held during the year ant
have proved very beneficial through
the views exchanged and methods dis
cussed. particularly applicable to In
dian educa ton.

THE MIowERA AGROUND.
The Steamer Seriously Damaged on
the Norwegian Coast.

The Steamer Seriously Damaged on
the Norwegian Coast.
CHRIsrIANIA, July 31.-The British
tourist steamer Miowera is aground
near Askenzold on the Norwegian
coast. The passengers were landed
on an uninhabited island. The
Miowera sailed from Shields July 9th
Tor Oide, Norway. She was recent
ly built at Vancouver for the Sydney
service. The steamer is seriously
damaged.
The vessel was built on the Tyne
in 1892. She was put on the new
mail route between Canada aud Aus
tralia last year, and went ashore at
the entrance OF Honolulu harbor on
October z, 1893, but was hauled of
with damaged bottom plates on
November IL. After receiving tempo.
rary repairs here the Miowera went
to San Francisco with the intention
OF having her repaired there. She
was not repaired there, neither at
Esquimalt, where she was sent later,
but after a great deal of telegraph
ing went to the Tyneside. There
she was thoroughly repaired, also
renovated to improve her fitness for
the Pacific trade. On her trial trip
she made 17.35 knots. She was sent
on an excursion trip to Norway, but
the above brief despatch shows she
has had bad luck again.

SMALLPOX AT FULTON.

A telegram from Fulton says that
smallpox has again broken out in
that village, 1t may become epe
demic as nearly all the inhabitants
are exposed to it. The following is
the way the story goes: "The ne
gro woman who was said to have
been murdered by her husband, had
smallpox and died of that disease
and when her body was examined
many of the people went to view
the supposed victim Of a foul crime,
but the post norton revealed that
she had smallpox and it is supposed
the husband and maybe other ne
groes buried her secretly to avoid
the authorities. And now comes
the news that those who were at
the autopsy are all in danger of the
disease, and some have it, and the
yellow flag is again displayed in our
neighboring town of Fulton. We
are very sorry, and our sister town
has the sympathy Of the people Of
Hope; but caution is the better
part of valor.-[Hope Reporter,
The above reveals a bad state Of
affairs truly, and we are surprised
that the Reporter does not advo-
cate a "strict quarantine" against
Fulton and "all points, as it did a
short time since while the disease
was prevailing among negroes in an
out-of- the-way suburb of Texarka-
ma.
But llaying aside the past, its
grievances and mistakes, it is high
time that smallpox was stamped
out of southwest Arkansas. IfFul-
ton is not able to cope with it her
sister towns ought to at once as
sist her. q Hampstead county, es-
pecially ought to take hold of the
matter.
