When a Dutchman an Irishman and
an Englishman get together discussing
the financial question in the Rocky
mountains and decide among them
selves that the United States will have
and must have. to gain permission
from foreign nations before free coin
age of silver can be established in the
United States, it is time we either nail
the flag to the mast and tell the other
nationalities that we are free and in-
dependent or let the foreigners Dutch
men. Irishmen Englishmen and China
men take the land.

Double Killing at Magdalena

A horrible tragedy occurred at Magda-
lena last Friday night by which both
the parties of the death duel, Edward
Horn, of the irm of Horn. Creighton
& Co., and Scott Reed, a cowboy with
"a man-kllling reputation and a tough,
lost their lives. Mr.. Horn was a
quiet, peacable man and was greatly
respected by all who knew him and his
sad demise is greatly deplored; Scott
Reed was a cowboy with a bad record,
having, it is said killed a man or two
The fullest particulars of the killing
we have yet obtained appeared in the
Albuquerque Citizen of last Monday,
and reads as follows:
The two men were in Cooks saloon
playing a game Of Mexican monte.
when a dispute arose over a. bet, Horn
claiming that he made a bet Of S.,
when Reed remarked with considerable
warmpth that the bet was only 81. The
men got into a bitter quarrel over the
ST., when suddenly Reed snatched out
his pistol and after lourishingi it around
the head of Horn brought il down on
a level with the latter's. face and said
be would "sheot 0u6 his eyes," Cool
and composed as he could be under the
circumstances, Horn pulled out his
pistol, which was hidden under his
vest in front of him. and quick as a
flash shot, the ball striking Reed in the
breast, but with the flash from Horns
pistol Reed also shot, mortally wound
ing Horn. The double-action revolt
vers kept bleaching out deadly bullets,
and when the smoke had cleared and
both men were on the floor. weltsring
in their own blood, an examination of
the bodies showed that Reed had FIVE
bullets, all in the breast and abdomen,
and Horn had two, balls. Reed was
dead, and presented a CHASTITY appear
ance, blood flowing from FIVE frighttul
holes. A few feet from him lay the
body of Horn, and after intense suffer-
ing for two hours he died, deploring
the sad tragedy with his last breath
and stated that he was forced to shoot.

HER MOSA.

TheL has made a shipment of high
grade ore and is looking well.
The Palomas Chief continues to send
out ore to the smelters from the vari-
GUS leases or the mine ;: the adlt at the
river level Is to be driven fifty feet
further into the mountain, IT is already
under some of the best paying ground
in the mine. Foster and Young have
takenthe contract.
Mr.. Drake. has opened the strike
which he made into a bonanza. On
Oct. 9th, THE BLACK RANGE noticing
s'IIs strike said: -. II. Drake has
made one of the most important
strikes ever made in Hermosa at sixty
Eye feet below the level of the A adit
on the Pelican = = = and the way
in which the r body lies it looks as
though it would prove a bonanza" The
appearance of the ore bodies at that
time was rot deceptive for they have
opened in three directions, north, west
aud south, giving high returns; about
four hundred pounds of ore was broken
down from the north heading, with re-
gard to gaining an average sample Of
the ore, which returned four hundred
and fifty ounces silver to the ton and
will run above twenty per cent. in
lead. The ore IS matted together with
wire silver among the argintiferous
galemite and sphalierite crystals. Mr..
Drake has sub-leased the north heading
to Mr.. Foster at twenty per cent. and
in addition t~wo-thlrds of the gross re-
turns, and even at this high rate Mr..
Foster expects to make it pay well.
MIR. Drake will drive the south head
ing himself and as this strike is below
the river bottom by about thirty feet
and in a hitherto unprOspeoted country
great expectations are raised with re-
gard to the continuity and richess of
the ore bodies which the work of min
ing may disclose as they are the deep
est workings in the mines. The ore
bodies lie between the stratiied lime
stone and the metamorphic massive
limestone, penetrating the metamor-
phic limestone as well as lying upon it.

Good Authority For the Statement
That China, Seeing Plain Defeat
in the Near Future, Has Asked

Shanghai, Oct. 10.-Various local ru-
mors are in circulation, the most prom
inent being that 10000 Japanese troops
have landed near Suan Haikwan, on the
boundary between the Chinese prov
inces of Manchuria and Chi Lii, at the
eastern end of the great wall which
traverses China.
The telegraph wires have been cut,
thus hindering communication with the
district. A report, which is classed here
as unreliable, says that the Japanese
have effected landing near New
Chawng, Gulf of Loao Ton.
1t is reported that several japanese
warships have been sighted off TAX
auar.
A dispatch received from Tien Tsin,
today, states that the British and Rus
sian ministers have arrived there and
that they will proceed at once to Pc
kin.
Another report which reaches this
city that after skirmish which took
place north of the Yalu river yester-
day, the japanese outposts were driven
back across the river.
Advices received here from Port Ar
thur says that the repairs to the Chi
nese fleet engaged in the battle of Yafu
river have been completed and that the
fleet will proceed to sea today.
Suan Haikwan, where the japanese
are reported to have landed 40 0oC
troops, is directly on the railroad build
ing from Tien Tsin to Moukden, and is
Of great strategic Importance In fact
the opinion has been expressed that II

ing on Pekin. A Japanese fleet was re-
ported to have been sighted off Suan

DIsGRuNTLED REPUBLICANS.

If the opinions expressed in Green

Further than this Rock Springs appropri-
ated all the nominations for county Off

HE WAS FROM PHILADELPHIA.
Cars the Quaker Raised Many
Alarms.

The conductors Of quite a number of
cable cars had observed him standing
at the corner of Cortlandt street, and
two or three had stopped on his signal
to take him aboard, but as he seemed
to expect the car to go to the curbstone
for him, they had pulled the bell again
in disgust, says the New York Herald.
Finally conductor stopped his car a
few yards beyond the corner and pa
tiently waited until he made up his
mind to risk crossing Broadway to
reach the car. He had placed his grip-
sack on the platform very carefully and
was proceeding with great elaboration
to lift his foot to the step when the
conductor, his patience exhausted.
grabbed him with one hand and pulled
the bell with the other, giving him a
vank that shot his grip into the far
corner of the car and landed him be-
side it. +,
Surprise at first mastered his indigna-
ton but the latter gradually asserting
itself he rose with as much dignity as
he could command and started toward
the rear end of the car to have 1t out
with his assailant. Just as he reached
the middle of the carryall, however,
the grip had got a fresh hold, and, with
its characteristic abruptness, jerked the
car forward and unceremoniously
dropped him in the lap of a stout lady,
who. refusing his apology, jabbed him
in the ribs with a package she carried.
MY dear madam" he gasped.
Don't talk to me, you laundering
elephant. If you don't know how to
walk why don't you strap yourself
down in the corner?"
He subsidized, but not for long. He
was on his feet as the car speeded
down the incline toward Canal street,
clinging on to the window with apprs-
hesion written in every line of his
face.
I'VE shall all be killed. he cried to
the man sitting next to him.
That's all right" Responded the man
addressed. Don't you alarm yourself.
They amt breaking any iscords on
this line" and he cheerfullyN resumed
his paper.
When the curve was reached at Union
square he rose with a frightened cry.
The next moment he was flying from
one end of the car to the other, buffeted
from side to side until ne landed in a
heap on the rear platform just as the
car came to a standstill at Fifteenth
street.
Police. Policer' he yelled, and a
bluecoated protector, who had been
helping hackman to hold up a tree,
responded to the call and demanded to
know the trouble.
Arrest that man. cried the passen-
ger. 81 demand his arrest for racing
on public thoroughfare.''
The officer looked at the conductor
