SIR W. c. VAN HORNE.
He Is Charged With Irregularities In
His Railroad Management.


Sir William C. Van Horne, president
of the Canadian Pacific Railway, who
has just been charged with irregulari-
ties in the handling of the Duluth and
Winnipeg Road, is derived from an
tique Dutch stock. He is descendant
of one of the old PATRON families WAC
laid the foundation of the City of New
York under the name of New Amster-
dam. He was born in Will County,
Illinois, in 1S43, and began life as a tele-
graph operator on the Illinois Central.
He rose rapidly from one post to an
other until 1882, when he was the gen.
eral superintendent of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul Road. In that year
he was offered the position of general
superintendent of the Canadian Pacific
and accepted. Under his management
construction was pushed forward with
remarkable energy, and the last spike
was driven at Craigellachie by Sir DAN
lei Smith on Nov. 7, 1885, five years
before the time set in the government
contract. A regular transcontinental
service was inaugurated, and Van
Horne has developed the traffic Of the

Afraid of HIa wife.

Peter Olsen is serving an indefinite
and Unofficial term in the Oakland, Cal,
county Jail from choice. His choice was
between being in Jail and being at al
legged liberty within reach of his wife.
Olsen recently served a term in Jail for
assaulting his wife. He is young and
his wife is somewhat mature. Their
married life has been tumultuous, and
they have often been in the courts.
His short experience in Jail was so
sweet that a few days after he was lib
Grated he came back and pleaded with
the jailer to take him in and keep him.
Olsen had proved handy man about
the Jail, being a good cook, and the
jailer offered him an asylum.

as he had advanced the construction.
His services were recognized by his
election to the vice presidency, and,
later, by his election to the presidency
Of the road. The owned and leased lines
of the Canadian Pacific cover 1886
miles. Van Horne has, through his Of
fetal position, been prominent in Cana
dian politics. In consideration of his
efforts to push the affairs of the great
road he was knighted by Queen Vic
toria. He still claims to be an Ameri-
can citizen.

The First Gun.

The republicans ofthis city discharged
the first gun Of the present political
campaign last Saturday evening upon
the occasion Of a meeting at the court
house for the purpose Of takingthe inni-
tial steps toward the organization of q
Mckinley Club. The occasion was mark
ed by q far more than ordinary degree of
enthusiasm, which may be accepted as
a sure index to the prevailing political
sentiment Of this place. Hon. G. G.
Bennett, of Deadwood, who so clearly,
forcibly, and logically discussed the
pending political issues before the
largest audience that has been as.
sembled to listen to a political speech
in this city for many years, was met at
the train by a large torch light process.

glare Of flaming bon fires and loud roar

hall. The meeting was presided over
by Attorney w. T.. Benedict, who after
signifying his appreciation of the honor
thus conferred upon him, made a few
pertinent and well chosen remarks
touching upon the more important
issues in the present campaign, which
were given the closest attention and
were we'll received. w. A. White was
chosen secretary, who expressed his
thanks for the honor in a few briet re-
marks, closing with the very popular
declaration, 81 am for Mckinley"
The meeting appointed the necessary

and convincing character in support of

~soUsTIIERN HILLS.

Miner: Eleven pounds Of gold was
the result of a two weeks cleanup at the
Holy Terror mill last week. The mine
producing some excellent ore from the
275.foot leyel. The shaft is being con-
stantly sunk and has now reached a
depth of nearly $50 feet and is the deep.
est shaft in the southern Hills that is
being operated. AS the shaft is vertical
and the vein has the usual dip, the shaft
is in country rock and is wholly dead
work.
The shaft on the Golden Slipper mine
reached q depth OF 200 feet last week.
The vein at the bottom of the shaft is
seven feet wide, the vein varying from
o width OF two feet at the surface to
seven feet at the bottom. Much Of the
ore taken from the shaft on the present
contract is very rich judging from pre-
vious runs of the ore, it is estimated
that a large proportion of that now in
the bins will yield $50 per ton. The
Slipper is a phenomenon i'll southern
Hills mining. The ore taken out in de-
velopment has paid the purchase price
of the property with all expenses OF
working, and given a comfortable divid-
end to the lucky owners and is to-day
in u better condition than ever.

M. III. Healey and b. B. Morton, OF
Newport, KY, the former a member OF
the Black Hills Water and Mining COM
pany, and the latter a prominent
hydraulic mining engineer, who have
been busily engaged for several days
looking after the affairs of the company,
departed on the Thursday morning
train for Deadwood, returning on the
evening train en- route to their homes.
Mr.. Healey expressed himself al being
we'll pleased with the prospect for the
success of the enterprise in which the
company is engaged, which may be &C.
cepted as a warrant for the continuance
of present operations. The lateral
bitches necessary to the concentration
of the waters of the various springs of
the company have already been com.
pleted, and a force Of men are now en-.
gagged in making boxes in which the
water is to be conducted to the point
where a cemented stone reservoir is to
be constructed to receive it, from which
it will be conveyed in iron pipes to the
different points where it will be requir-
ed for mining or other purposes. While
here Mr.. Healey spent considerable
time in the investigation of the merits
of the mining Of this district,
upon which the future success of the
enterprise may be said to largely de-
pend, with which he expressed himself
as being most favorably impressed.
