The greatest hindrance to the devel-
opment of the mining resources of this
country, and the same condition exists
in every other mining section of the
state, is the failure of so many locators
to do representation work They have
one year from the first day of January
following the date of location in which
to do one hundred dollars worth of
work. AS most of the locations are
made on January 1st, this being the
day on which unrepresented claims go
vacant, the re-locators have two years
in which to do representation work.
Claims in this county have been owned
continually for twenty-five years, and
no work done. Too many prospectors
locate with but very weak intentions of
doing any development work, or no
such intentions at all. What is needed
is state law compelling representation
work to be done before claim can be
recorded, and sixty days would be suffi-
cient time in which to do the work. A
demand comes from all over the state
for such law. In fact such demand
was very emphatic two years ago, but
the Legislature then seemed to be too
busy on bills exempting mortgages from
taxation, fighting over county division
bills, appropriation bills, etc., to pay
any attention to such matter as state
mining Law. If the legislators of this
session are not carried completely off
their feet by long and exciting sena-
torial contest, we may hope for the
enactment ofa mining law this winter.

Nothing was needed to complete the
history of the Policy of Infamy but a
direct, definite and formal confession
from the President Of the United States
of his completely in the plot to over
throw friendly government in diplo-
matte relations with our own, and to
re-establish rotten monarchy in the
Hawaiian Islands. This has been sup
piled, unexpectedly and with queer
fatuity, by Mr.. Cleveland himself

The following items copied from the
DeLamar, Nevada, Lode, indicate that
our Nevada namesake is strictly in it,
or at least, proposes to be. All recent
reports from there denote a bright
future for the camp:
VIM. Perry has taken the contract
from the DeLamar Company to haul
the bullion from DeLamar to Milford,
Utah. The contract calls for $40, 900 per
week, or 100000 per month, and Mr..
Perry has been allowed four messen-
gers.
The DeLamar Company's tramway
will be finished and in running order in
few days. The working of the tram
way is very simple and is not an end
less rope as at first supposed. There
are two large cables, one and half
inch, made fast at both ends and will
support 10000 pounds each, the cables
weigh 5000 pounds. The cars are sus-
pended from the main cable and run on
wheels. There are two smaller cables,
one attached TO each car, the cars work
automatically, the loaded one taking
the empty one back. The cars are self
bumpers. The distance between the
mill and mine is $4,000 feet and the
distance is to be made in Is seconds.
The following item, however, suggests
that the new camp has its draw backs:
VIM. DeFreiz is chief caterer for the
DeLamar water company, and the
liquid fluid can now be had at the small
price of one cent per gallon, or forty
cents per barrel.

We shall be sorry if Senator Dolph is
reelected from Oregon, particularly
sorry because no western man has g
right to represent any state in the west
and oppose silver. Dolph was always
counsel for some heavy corporation,
especially the Northern Pacific, before
he was elected Senator. Some people
still think he is the adviser of that com
pany. That company has been forced
into having receiver appointed solely
because the great Interests of the west
have been stricken down, especially
silver. The securities Of that road have
shrunken by tens of millions of dollars,
and would think that the holders of
those securities would want to study up
the causes and try to understand why
an institution that was so prosperous
four years ago has suddenly become
stranded, and if Mr.. Dolph is still their
adviser he, knowing how things have
been, ought to be able to tell them that
the trouble came because one of the
great industries Of this country has
been stricken down, and has carried
with it all other industries. That he
has not the honest or ability to do that
Is sufficient reason why he should not
be reelected to the Senate of the United
States.-S. L. Tribune.

The Oregon legislature will re-elect
Senator Dolph. Strange things occur
in Oregon politics. That great state
whose every interest is identified with
the restoration of silver to its rightfnl
place as money, state with ninety FIVE
per cent of its population pronouncedly
in favor of bimetalism selecting for its
United States Senator, the most conspic-
uous goldbug within his borders is an
anomoly beyond ordinary comprehen-
sion.

The terrible disaster which occurred
at Butte was one of the greatest calami-
ties ever happening in the mining
regions of the west. Many people in
DeLamar who came here from Montana
are enxiously awaiting complete list
of the dead and injured. This disaster
was the result of an open violation of
the law by the managers Of the Butte
Hardware Co., in storing car load of
giant powder upon their premises. 1t
will cause Investigations all over the
mining regions to see that such viola
tions of law are not made by other
dealers.

The Republican party in Idaho is
pledged to submit to vote ofthe people
an amendment to the constitution
providing for woman suffrage. A reso-
luton has already been offered in the
Legislature to carry out their important
pledge. This is in keeping with the
intelligence and progress of the age in
which we live. When this matter
comes to vote before the people, as it
certainly will, one will be able to almost
to count the mossbacks in Idaho by the
number of votes cast against the propo-
sition to allow women an equal voice
with the men in the management of
the government of the state. 1t is
curious fact that the new states of the
west are emerging from the social pref
udices Of the dark ages more rapidly
than the older east. They are the first
to propose to give woman voice in pol
itics. 1t may take all of the next CEN
tury for the world to catch up with
them in social progress, but the reform
begun will never stop until it does.

P0TTSYlLLE'S BIG BLAZE.
The Destruction OF the City's Steam Heat.
ing Plant Renders the Hotels and Many
Residences Chccrlcss.
BY the United Press.

By tHe onlteu lreSS.
POttsville, Pa, Jan. 20.-This was n
cold, cherries day for l5O Pottsyllle
families, while the guests of three pf
the principal hotels shivered in their
rooms or in the Hobbies and ate their
meals in overcoats. The cause of this
chillness of iresides and general dis
ccmfont was q big fire that broke out
at o'clock this morning and PARTIALLY
destroyed the building containing the
$4,000 plant of the Pottsvile Steam
Heat and Power company and several
small buildings adjoining.
Besides the 200 business places and
private families supplied by the COM
pany with heat, the First and Second
Pre,sbyterta churches, the Trinity Re-
formed the First Reformed, the Eng
lish Lutheran and the Methodist Epls-
copal churches all get their steam heat
from this plant, and owing to the fire no
services could be held in any of them
today.
The origin of the fire Is q mystery.
The fireman Were at work firing up
under the immense boilers, when the
flames burst forth and spread so quick
ly that they had only time to escape
from the building. The building was
damaged to the extent of $4,000 with no
insurance and the loss to the owners of
the adjoining property Is about the
same.

SC0TT'S BODY FOUND.
The Mystery of The Disappearance of the
Holt County Treasurer Cleared Up at

Last.
By the United Press.
O'Neill, Neb., Jan. 2O.-The body of
Barret Scott, the defaulting treasurer
of Holt county, and who, while out
riding with his family New Years day,
was fired upon by a party of vigilants
and dragged from his carriage and
taken away, was found last night in
the Niobrara river A new hemp rope
about one-half inch in diameter was
about his neck ana the end daHgled In
the water Evidences show that he
was hanged before thrown into the
water.
The credit of the finding of the body
is largely due to the energy and enter
prise of the citizens of the vicinity. A
week ago Friday search began for
Scott, but the weather at the time was
so severe that many of the searchers
froZe fingers, noses and ears and work
was temporarily suspended. Saturday
morning by concerted action on the
part of the citizens of that vicinity and
delegations from O'Neill, Atkinson.
Spencer and Butte, the work was re-
sumcd and resulted as above stated.
<NIN=I wv lllltAllsN VI Niit DpuN lllIS
morning an inquest was held. A num-
Der of witnesses We're examined ana q
verdict rendered that Scott came to his
death at the hands OF George Mulllhan.
Nose Ellior. Mont Roy, James Plnker-
man, and others whose names have not
yet been discovered. The men named
above have already been arrested and
put under bail, but an effort will be
made ITO have the amount of the bail
raised to a sum that shall more nearly
approach the enOrmity of the crime
with which they are charged. The bail
Is now only $500. At the conclusion Of
the inquest the remains were immedi-
ately forwarded to O'Ncil
A very quiet and sturdy determina-
tion has been manifested by the law
and order people of Holt county that
no stone should be left unturned until
Scott's body was found and the guilty
parties brought to justice. The first
part of this determination has been ac-
complished and they are now going
about with the same steady purpose
to avenge i'm q legal way the most
tiastardly murder in the history of this
part of the country.

DISTRESS IN NEBRASKA.
Hundreds of Families Have Nothing to
Eat and Children Are Naked.
BY the United Press

Greeley Center, Neb., Jan. 2O.-The
distress in this part of the state is ap-
palllng. No picture of the suffering
has been overdrawn and a great many
sad cases have been suppressed. Thus
far there has been but little cold
weather and no snow. Hundreds of
families had nothing to eat and no fuel
and children are so nearly naked that
they are kept from school. At least
one-tifth of the people of this county
have become county charges which has
depleted the county treasury and de-
preciated county paper until it is not
worth more than half of it's face value,
and is still going down.
1t is impossible for the people to care
for the destitute, and unless a large
amount of outside assistance is received
at once some of the worthy farmers
and their families will perish. The peo-
pie are most in need of clothing, and
anything in that line cannot fail to al
leviate suffering
