THE ZULU BIBLE.
1T Is One of Many Printed by the AM

1t Is One of Many Printed by the AM
erican Bible Society.
The Zulu Bible is one of the interest
ing forms OF the Scripture among the
vast number of Bibles printed in the
Bible House in New York, by the
American Bible Society. The statistics
Of the society are interesting and sur
prising to any n unfamiliar, with
them. The society's t~wenty-cent Bible.
and ive-cent Testament are probably
the cheapest books in the world. The
Testament for five cents is marvellous.
1t is a small book, but the type is clear
and plain, and the cover, a soft one of
cloth, is neat and attractive. The fig
ures on the inside of the 1896 edition
show that 12,442,000 copies of the book
have been printed. The Bible, is in
the 1895 edition, and the figures show
that at the time of it's issue $500, 900
had been printed. That number has
now been largely increased. 1t has
been estimated that in busy times an
average of one Bible and three or four
Testaments are turned out every min
uCc w ClIC DlduI III IAC uOuSC lOI every
day in the year. About two-thirds of all
the Bibles printed are given away, and
the others are sold at cost. Last year
the society issued 1,750, 2S3 Bibles and
Testaments. The English editions
and editions in the common European
languages are all printed at the Bible
House. Some Of. the languages Of the
extreme east, like the Chinese, can be
printed more cheaply by: native work
men in the country to which they be-
long. The Canton Bible, which. is in
the colloquial tongues SPOKEN by most
Of the Chinese in this vicinity, is print
ed at the Bible House. In the, past
eighty years. of,its existence, the so
'ciety has issued 81, TOE; S41 volumes OF
the Holy Scriptures, in nearly 100 Ian
guages and dialects. In the frs, TWEEN
ty-five years of it's existence it. printed
nearly 5000, 900 books, in the. second
nearly 10000, 900, and the total issue of
the third twenty-five years was 32,44S,-
1856. An old gentleman interested in
the work has estimated that there nave
been Bibles enough printed to supply
every person in the world with one.

track and in the training quarters
about form. This man or that is said
to be "top-notch," "cff," or Coming

and hours. When a rider who is :ad-

misunderstanding Of the practices Of

should not keep late hours, and he
should SO conduct himself that he has
a fair and equal chance with every

riders are equally good men, equally
fast, and possessed of that nerve and
heart so necessary to land them over
the tape in the lead of competitors, the
meeting Of these men should mark a
struggle from the crack of the pistol

England - Davis OF Kansas Quotes
Good Authority.

Mr.. Davis, of Kansas-The president
rightly said that "the memorable laws
OF finance and trade" can not be defied
with impunity. So, having copied the
financial policy Of England, is it
strange that we must suffer the same
penalties? In 1865 the people of the
United States emerged from the great
est war of modern times. They had
been successful. They had saved the
best government on earth. Money was
plenty, times were good, the national
debt was not large, and, as individuals,
we were "out of debt and prosperous"
We felt as did the British people after
their great victory at Waterloo, and
the Punishment of Napoleon. The
British system of contraction, inaugu-
rated here in 1866, began to tell on the
clearing house transactions in 1870. In
1873, the same policy struck down sill
yer. This was at once followed by a
disastrous panic, distressing the entire
country, as had never before been wit
messed. According to Senator Logan,
it was a money famine;" and it has
continued ever since with only tenn
porary attachments.
I have now shown the similarity OF
the British and American financial
policies instituted for the same gene
raj purpose, under similar conditions.

nevertheless, to protect themselves
against all chance Of loss from the sue
cess of the free silver craze by invest
ing their surplus money in lands and
other forms of good property, and to
borrow more money to invest in the
same way. This comedies the very
point for which bimetallists have so
strongly %contended, that, the opening
of the minis to silver would cause
money now boarded to seek investment
and Increase the value of all forms of
good property, and especially Of real
estate, which is now so greatly de-
pressed.

the United States 81. AS is stated bv
the goldbug papers, they send the pa

the United States is equivalent to gold.

Other Mining News From Various
Localities Of Considerable In
tcresi To tLe Readers Of
The Republican.

When Mr.. w. r. West came in from
the Cooper Hill camp yesterday morn
ing he brought with him a number of
specimens from the Albion mine,
which is one of the properties of the
new Carbon County company. Some
of these specimens were given to Mr..
Morgan to have assayed at the univer-
sity and Mr.. West took the remainder
with him. Three tests were made for
Mr.. Morgan by Professor Knight, with
the following results:
No. Gold. $SS.2 20; silver. $71: lead,
1852; total. $177.S2.
No. Gold, s26.4O; silver. s53.3S:
lead, $3.50; total. s93.6S.
No. 3-Gold. ST.; silver, $1,000; lead,
SAT; total. s3O.O7.
An average of the three gives
$1OO.52 %, which ought to satisfy the
most grasping seeker for gold. Ore of
this character can be shipped any
where in the world and milled at a
profit.
When President West of the Carbon
County Mining company springs this
ore on the unsuspecting Kansans, he is
likely to turn some of their heads and
cause a rush of Kansas blood to Wyo-
ming. Well, let them come. 1t is
probable that there is a good mine in

is to find it.

competent assayer, for a thorough test,
the result of which was SO satisfactory
that the judge wired Mr.. Hanna. one of
the interested parties. that the tin ore
was all right.
Another assay of the rock by a fully
reliable assayer, gave a result Of "a
pounds of tin, and enough copper to
pay for the treating Of the ore. Con-
sidering the fact that this is all sur
face rock and can be mined with COM
paratively no expense whatever. there
is no doubt but that it is a great boom
to northern Wyoming. In Wales
where the ore runs nc where near as
large a per cent of tin and that, mined
1000 feet under the surface, it pays.
So there can be no reason why this
should not pay where there is such a
larger per cent and that on the surface.

THE TRUTH.

The disposition shown by some of
the papers in Wyoming every time
there is a reported sale of mining
property or some one comes to town
with a piece of rock to put in scare
heads and talk of big sales and rich
finds is doing more harm t. Wyoming
miners than the indifference shown by
the business men, who refuse to help
out the prospector with a little cash.
This is a broad assertion, but true
nevertheless. Several times of late
there have been reports published
about strikes and sales that are totally
without even semblance OF foundation.
When strikes are made it is eminently
proper to give the news prominence,
but rumors published as facts are not
the stuff. The same may be said OF
sales. Reports that are proven the
next day to be false are not doing the

Henry Schultz Was a Barkeeper for
Albert Rosin.

Many people Of Laramie remember
very well a heavy-set, handsom Ger
man who kept bar for Albert Rosin
during the summer Of 1895 and occu-
pied Mr.. Resins residence on Seventh
street. His wife was a tall lady. rather
good-looking and rode a bicycle. 1t
now turns out that the handsome Har>
ry was enamored of a fair German lass
Of Kansas City, with whom he has
eloped to Germany. Those who were
in a position to know say that he was
corresponding with a young lady Of
Kansas City while here. and that his
wife was very Jealous in consequence.

Schultz is a married man but the girl
with whom he was infatuated arrived

CARR'S DECISION.

The Denver Times of last evening
contains the following interesting
item to many people Of Laramie:
Attorney General Carr yesterday
afternoon, after porting owe books and
statutes for a greater part of the day,
discovered that there is no statute law
in Colorado covering the question OF
what shall constitute a water appro-
priation for placer mining purposes.
The attention of the attorney general
was rallied to this defect in the law by
a possible dispute over placer rights
in North park. James F. Bush, John
Howard OF Haworth .Larimer county
William Kerr and others. had located
placer ground on Michigan creek, five
miles from the old Teller camp.
Some time prior to this a prospector
had located land 35 miles lower down
the North Platte river and the ques-
ton was which was entitled to the
opinion that since the state has no Law
regulating the appropriation OF water
for placer operations the custom in the
old California days holds good. They
hold'that a water right in placer min
ing belongs to whoever makes the
prior legitimate location, and that to
make this location it is necessary to
do actual work, such as making sur
veys for the ditch and following this
up by constructing the ditch and doing
actual work OF the location. Under
the opinion. therefore. the appropria-
ton made by James F. Bush on Michi.
gan creek will hold good and will be
upheld by any judicial tribunal"
