The Standard Oil company, having
purchased control Of about all the lead
mines Of Joplin, Missouri, Senator
Brice Of Ohio being a large owner in
both companies engineered the trade

Vest alone will have the credit Of the
lead tax. Dubois of Idaho claims all
the credit, but he did not ever know
the trade was made. Now it turns out
that the free wool men will stand in
for free lead and free sugar, with one
cent bounty on United States sugar ;
therefore they will not need the lead

the free list. The 10 per cent ad

The Missouri Going Dry.

The United States engineer depart
ment has just completed a survey Of
the upper Missouri river and as far
down as Livingston, Montana. In the
opinion Of the engineers the Missouri
river is dwindling away and will in
time become a small stream. They
found that the volume Of water at
Great Falls, Montana measured 4,79O
cubic feet per second; while at Fort
Benton, twenty five miles down the
river. they found the volume was
4,33l cubic feet per second, a decrease
of 400 cubic feet. This, they claim,
explains the presence OF the great sub
terranean body Of water known as the
South Dakota artesian basin.

From Montgomery District.

NJ. B. Bartlett. who left Eureka a
little over three years ago for Mont
gomery District, In Nye county, re-
turned here last Saturday. Mr.. Bart
lett says there are any number Of
old-bearing quartz lodges there, but
men who own them are too poor to put
up the necessary machinery to operate
them profitably. And also owing to
the depressed condition Of affairs that
exists throughout the United States
at the present time in all industries,
has prevented capitalists from visiting
that section with a view Of investing
in the properties of that district. Mr..
Bartlett has implicit faith in that To-
cality, and expresses the belief that as
soon as money becomes easier and the
wheels Of industry begin to turn Mont
gomery will give a good account Of it.

Horrible Abuse Of Children,

A horrible disclosure has been made
in Biskipitz, Austria, by the arrest Of
a gang Of men who for some time have
been engaged in crippling children for
the begging trade. Several unfortunate
children were found in the house with
their legs and arms broken and bound
in positions OF d%eformity. One little
girl had both eyes gouged out. Instru-
ments which had been used in produc-
ing physical deformities were found in
the cellar. After the children, who
had been stolen, were sufficiently de-
formed they were sold to other persons
for begging purposes.

covers what is known as the Monitor

half Of the Cliff, and three-iourths Of

is being paid is not exactly known it
is automatically reported at 100000,
which is considerably less than the
property was bonded for. the principal
difference being that this transaction
is cash as against time payments.
The owners OF the Jim Crow pro-

them, which is reported at $54, 900
which they considered too great a re-
duction in the price and value of the
property. The lucky owners Of the
