Ralph Martin, an old-time loafer
and morphine fiend, created a little

sentenced to so days in Jail. He asked
to be given a fioater and told Judge
Turner that IL he would give him a
quarter to buy morphine with. he
would leave town and stay away.

court, you belong in jail, and that is
where you are going"
Martin continued to beg for two bits
to get some hop with and Assistant
County Attorney Mattison finally i'm
patiently ordered him to sit down and
give the new prisoner a chance to pre-

fred his hat at Mr.. Mattison and hit
him on the top of the head with 1t, as
1t came so quick that he had no time
to dodge II.
You make me so - mad that
wish / had something heavier TO hit
you with" exclaimed the prisoner.

Livingston Enterprise: The over
whelming defeat OF the democratic
ticket in the elections of Tuesday Is
surely cause for congratulation. IL In
dtcates that large majority Of the
people OF this country were anxious
to avail themselves OF any opportun-
ity to administer a rebuke TO the un-
American policy of the Cleveland add
ministration which has paralyzed the
countrys industries and discounted
the future by largely increasing the
burden in an effort to meet current
expenditures. II also means a return
by the shortest possible route to the
benefcient republican policy OF govern
ment. under which this country enI
joyed a period OF 30 years OF unes-
ampled and almost uninR rrupted

Bradley and Dan Mcdonald. will leave
over the same road tomorrow evening
and will join the others in New York.
The party will sail from New York a
week from tomorrow and will reach
their destination in about a month.
This is the largest party that has ever
left Butte for the South Africa gold
fields, although parties of two to FIVE
people have been quite frequent over
the Great Northern. The men are all
carpenters and millwrights and all of
them with the exception Of Mcdonald
are under contract with III. A. McMil-
Ian, former Butte architect, who
went to South Africa last year and is
rapidly acquiring a fortune there. The
men will be paid S. a day. and 1t is
said that their living expenses will not
exceed $3.50 a day.
Mr.. Mcmillan is the chief architect
for the Simmer & Jack Gold Mining
company. and he is now superintend-
ing the construction of a new 500-stamp
mil, which Will De more tnan twice as
large as any other mill in the world.
The mill is being built at Germiston,
six miles from johannesburg and its
erection will require about three years.
1t was the original intention to build
only a 2s0-stamp mill. but the plans
were subsequently changed and the
foundation for the immense building
has just been finished. The largest
stamp mill in the world at present has
only 240 stamps. immigration to the
new Ell Dorado from Butte Is on the
increase and the Great Northern is do
ing a land office business while the
other roads are also sending a good
many people away. The correspond
ence of City Ticket Agent Blair of the
Great Northern in regard to South AZ
RIGA travel has become quite an import
ant feature, and he has received letters
of inquiry concerning rates from Ari-
zona, Utah, Nevada, Seattle and other
coast points and from nearly every
town in Montana. A letter was also
received from r. L. Donnell of New
York city in which he encloses a clip
ping from the Standard. People from
the outside seem to think that Butte is
the only point from which they can
start for South Africa.

a genius to ACCOMPLISH wonders. To
this class belongs Jacob Newman, who
Is probably better known by the eu-
phonious soubriuuet of ''Sheeny Mike"
Mike is said to have applied his talent
in the wrong direction and as a result
is hourly becoming better acquainted
with the Lord of Three Forks in the
county bastile.
Mike was arrested Saturday on a
charge OF grand larceny. The COM
plant was sworn out by Henry Filing
Mike is alleged to- have stolen and car
ried away. bodily. a three-stamp mill.
which he is said to have sold to Bryan,
McFadden & Co, who are operating a
mine on the Ramshorn.
The theft OF a stamp mill Is no small
undertaking. Versatile indeed Is the
man who successfully accomplishes IT,.
1t involves good generalshlp. tact and
a superabundance OF self confidence.
And after IT Is successfully stolen, to
place IT on the arket and dispose OF
II. Is a matter that necessitates the
surrounding of innumeralble obstacles.
The mill was taken from a site on
South Boulder. Mr.. Filing missed 1t
about six months ago and diligent in
quiry failed to locate It. 1t was not
placed on the Helena or Butte markets.
Finally II was located on Messrs. Ryan
g. McFadden's property on the Rams
horn. These gentlemen informed the
owner that they had purchased II of
Jake Newman. but had not at that
time received bill of sale. which was
subsequently, secured from Newman.
AS soon as the bill of sale was executed
Newman was arrested.
Newman came here eight or nine
months ago and opened a tailor shop.
A few months later he claimed to have
become interested in a mining lease.
He also claimed to be a part owner in
the East Helena smelter. His asser-
tons were so numerous and gorgeous,
however. that little faith was put In
him or his sayings.

 The Jersey Lily mine, Yavapai county, at depth of ls0 feet shows up 20 inch paystreak ot solid sul- phurets running from S2i0 to $2s0 per ton gold.
 A company with capital stock of Sl00,000 proposes to work the Good Hope, Little John and Mitz placer claims, containing so acres in White Canon district, on the Colorado river above the Needles.
 There is stamp mill in operation at White Hills, Arizona, that uses gasoline as motive power. Wood there is sl2 a cord and coal is out of the question, hence the experiment, which has proved entirely satisfacto- ".
 James Uncapher has located the old Queen Bee mine at Mineral Park, Mohaye county. The mine was badly handled, yet it produced many thous- ands of dollars. If properly handled the mine can be made to pay hand somely.
 About fourteen men are prospecting and working claims in the San Fran cisco district, Mohaye county, and all doing well. The shipping ore of the district averages eight ounces in gold and seyenty-fye to 200 ounces in sil- yer to the ton
 There are thirteen leases on the Tuckahoe mine at Chloride and all are making money. Already there is one hundred tons of ore on the dump that will be run through the mill in q few days The mill is capable of hand ling twenty-five tons of ore daily
 The amount of placer gold brought into Yuma and sold or exchanged for goods is large Within 75 miles are probably four or five hundred men placering and dry washing The gold from Picacho district is worth the most, about SIS an ounce, and that from the Cocopahs is worth the least, SIG an ounce.
 The clay used for lining the conyer- ters at Bisbee. is shipped from Ben son. A contract has been awarded parties there who are doing we'll The clay is said to be good quality of plum bago, which admirably answers the purpose. Quartz is also shipped with the clay, which is ground and used with it. This quartz is 90 per cent pure. The clay has heretofore been shipped from Denver.
 Ripsey camp, near Riverside, about forty miles above Florence, will soon restore the waning mining glory of that region. There are now several hundred men at work upon the main property of the district and others near by, and high success is attending their efforts. Ore valued at S250 a ton is not rare. and the mill runs, from d mill situated on the Gila, near River side, are represented to be as almost surpassing belief.

FRIDAY. MAY IL, 1898.
Home Trained Teachers.

Asa matter of interest and utility to
Dodge City, in view of the present finan.
cial stress. we call attention of the board
of education and patrons of the city
schools toa plan of retrenchment this
week adopted by the Abilene board of
education
That city has reelected Supt. Gray,
and instead Of keeping full corps OF
high priced teachers will at the begin
ming of the next term place four of the
grade rooms ia charge of eight high
school graduates, who will be paid each
five dollars per month. A training
teacher will have charge of these grad
yates. and the superintendent will out
line all work. The eight young teachers
at the end of tie years training will
be competent for higher positions and
will be given appointments as regular
teachers as vacancies occur. by this
process Abilene will train its own
teachers, and it is not intended in the
future to go outside of the city for timber
to fill vacancies. TO Abilene this will
result in an annual saving Of about 500.
Dodge City is paying larger salaries
for grade teachers than Abilene, and ii
can be readily calculated that the
financial results to be achieved by adopt
ing the foregoing system are not to be
ignored by the most radical retrencher.
Four Of the grade teachers salaries at
SIS "a month amount 20 $l620 for term
of nine months. At So month the
eight graduate teachers would aggregate
a total of $500 term, and training
teacher could be procured for about
800 year, making sum of less than
$500 for instruction where now Sl62O is
annually required.
The high character of the city's school
SYSTEM is the pride Of every parent,
pupil and adheent of education.
Whenever any move is made teat
crippies the schools it likewise affects
the city, and before changes of any kind
are made the effects that are to result
therefrOm should be thoroughly con-
sidered.
The Abilene plan is superior in merit
than others that have been suggested.
1t has long been in force in New Egg
land schools, and during recent years has
been pr;cticed in some western colleges
and normal schools with good results.

Eugene D. Carter. one Of the hes,
known and most influential democrats OF
North Carolina, has withdrawn from his
party and taken up the republican ban
uer. He assigns as a reason for his
changing POI itical faith the lack of suffi-
eient craftsmanship in the democratic
party to manage the affairs of the coun-
try. He says that the party is divided
into worrying factions, one demand be-
ing for a gold standard; the other silver
monomefalism, either of which, he says.
would ruin the country. He believes
''the republican party has the ability and
the patriotism to establish true bimetal.

have not.

That Peach Orchard,

Fifteen years ago Irwin Mudgett lived
ut his beautiful home in Illinois and the
the land upon which it was founded was
bought from a railroad company upon
the rose tinted installment plan. A few
years of crop failure and it was swept
from his grasp by the cOrmorant cOrpo-
ration and all the paid iDstaliments with
it. Guided by the Star of Empire he
turned his face 10 the west. In Hodge
man county, Kansas, he cast the strong
anchor of hcpe and moved his sacred
family ark to a piece of land donated by
our bountiful government. Here he
raised '.his Ebepezer" and few water
melons. One Of these luscious gifts of
mother earth was sent by his wife to a
lady friend in the east. The favor was
acknOw'edg by the return of small
basket Of peaches. The pits of the
peaches were saved and duly planted by
the prudent housewife. OF course they
grew. Careful and cherishing attention
for two or three years was rewarded by
yield of splendid fruit. These pit S
were again saved, again planted and
again they grew. These thrifty pro-
cesses were annually repeated until now
they have about forty acres in peach
trees and have never bought a pit or
tree. This spring these trees are all
loaded with fruit beyond their capacity
to sustain and mature. Much wealth
will be realized from this yield if the I'M
expected does not Overtake il between
now aud the middle of July.

The fact that Senator Teller declines
to participate in the great silver conven-
ton at Salt Lake City is evidence that
the most rantankerous free coinage men
have more faith in the republican policy
toward silver than they do in the ability
or purpose Of any new party to produce
favorable legislation. Teller is the
greatest advocate of silver money in pub
lie life today, and his turning cold
shoulder to the Utah convention is evil
dence that he still believes that the re-
publican party is the truest friend silver
can have in this country.
The Globe-republican., 1895-05-17

\ gentleman who is posted says he
knows of thirty Ford county families
who made regular weekly shipments of
butter to Colorado customers while the
silver mines were being worked. When
the mines were closed by the policy of
the present administration their market
which paid gilt edge prices was cut off.
These people will probably enjoy re-
turn Of the republican policy toward
silver mining.
The Globe-republican., 1895-05-17

Caldwell News: The country is get
ting ripe for silver. 1t is one Of the
greatest questions of the day and all at
tempts to brush it aside will be useless.
When the people 60 in earnest for a
measure it is sure to prevail and earnest
ness is distinct feature of the masses on
this subject. Gold rules tho world today
and its rising value has deprecated all
other values. So long as silver is de-
based metal, sc long as it is a sort of an
illegitimate child of commerce. so long
will it be discredited and Deprecated.
This talk of an international monetary
monetary conference is for the purpose
of delay. Why should the United States
sit helplessly at the feet Of foreign gold
and piteously plead for the recognition
of silver? 1t will never came that way.
Let the American people enthrOne silver
as the equal of the gold and contend for
it in the same spirit as was shown when
this country was won from England. and
Europe will soon acknowledge our mon
etary independence as our mother cOun-
try did our civil liberty. Silver is the
money of the masses and they are will.
ing at least to try the experiment of hav-
ing it free.
