that a very feasible one would be,

Considerable surprise is felt by
Senators and Representatives. at the
attempt of Senator Allen to make a
sensation out of the movement among
some of the wealthy friends of Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, commander of the
U. S. army, to raise a fund for the
purpose of presenting him with a
house in Washington, and more at
the action of Mr.. Allen in Offering a
resolution prohibiting the acceptance
of any gift of value by any officer on
the active list of the army or navy.
This action on the part Of Mr.. Allen
is merely a. bid for the support of the
the anarchistic element, which hates
Gen. Miles for his very prompt action
in putting down the Chicago rioters
who were destroying property and
interfering with the o.. S. mails.
When it is remembered that Gen.
Miles, like all of the commanders Of
the army since the war, is poor, and
that Generals Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan were each presented with
residences by their civilian admirers,
it is difficult to see any harm in the
same being done for Gen. Miles, or
any necessity for a law saying it shall
not be done for any other officer who
is fortunate to have admirers who
have money they wish to dispose Of
in that manner. It is no exaggeTa-
ton to say that since Mr.. Allen en-
tered the Senate he has been the
author Of more. bun ombe resolutions
and bills than all the rest Of the
Senators added togeth her.

The Deadwood Daily Journal, pub
lished by Dan Scott and son, Mark
came out promptly in accordance with
previous announcement on Tuesday
morning, the 2nd inst 1t is but fair 10
say that the paper is fully up to the
standard Of merit previously claimed by
its publishers, being exceptional in the
excellence of its news departments.
The paper was issued under extreme
difficulties resulting from the non.
arrival Of their press, necessi,ating the
expense and trouble OF having its print
ing done at Lead. Mr.. Crow, the pub
Usher of the Independent, having the
only press available for night service,
refusing the use of the same at any
price. While the paper is in every way
creditable, and its publishers have
shown themselves to be progressive and
enterprising, we confess to no degree of
surprise that the established papers OF
Deadwood should not take kindly to
the new enterprise, the success Of which,
in so limited journalistic field as the
Black Fills must be conceded to be,
would seriously affect their interests, il
not drive them out Of the field. Tie
action ofthe Deadwood newspaper men,
in this instance, is in strict accord with
human nature in all communities, and
it would only have been surprising had
Deadwood proved to be an exception to
the rule.

night shift came off yesterday morning
the body Of Andrews was discovered in
front Of Gill's cabin, some articles of
clothing and a bunch of keys, the prop
erty of Andrews, lay near by and locke
as though they and the body had been
pitched olt Of the cabin door. When

nothing about the affair, and wanted to
know why the dead man was brought

hang himself if they would tie rope

Some Valuable Timber Lands.

In the event of the executive order
setting aside the forest lands Of the
middle Hills going into effect the
Horseshoe company's mining grour d
on Iron creek will be immensely valu-
able for the timber it contains alone.
Frank Howard spent all last summer
locating ground for the company along
Iron, Deer, and Beaver creeks, stalking
ont fifty-five claims, containing ap-
proximately six hundred acres. Most
of this ground Is covered with dense
growth Of tall. well shaped, healthy
looking pines and frs. probably the best
body of timber in the Hills today, being
practically untouched. Mr.. Howard
went out to look over the ground last
week. and he found that number Of
ambitious prospectors had been en-
croachirg upon the company's posses
sions, as portions Of The ground had
been relocated probably with the idea
that The original locators had abandoned
it. Mr.. Howard hunted up some of the
men who had done the relocating. and
all that he saw agreed TO withdraw their
Claims upon explaining to them that
the company had not given the ground
up. The snow in that country is four
ana five feet deep in many places, AMI
it is absolutely impossible to get around
without snowshoes, except along the
broken trails. Pioneer.

A Volcano in Salt Lake.

The rather frequent shocks of earth
quake which this section of the country
has experienced in the past few months
haye come to head in the form Of q
volcano, says late Salt Lake dispatch,
which has burst forth out of the Great
Salt lake, short distance south of
Promontory station, on the Central
Pacific railway. The volcano is right in
the lake, about mile and quarter
from the shore, and parties residing in
the neighl orhc ol siy that the cloud
af smoke rushes up into the air so high
that it may be seen at great distance
and the water in the vicinity boils and
surges into sea of foam. The volcano
is situated in the big arm of the lake, on
the west side ofthe large range of noun
tains visible from Brigham City. The
volcano has been in action for several
days. 1t began with small cloud and
slight distur bance of the water, and has
increased in proportions until now it is
a most formidablc-lookingp phenomenon
and has had tho effect of creating fear
and CONSERVATION among the country
people in that vicinity. 1t is not visible
in this city, but its presence is looked
upon with some uneaslness.

From private information received at
this Office the situation in the Transvaal
Republic is becoming more strained ev-
cry day between the President Kruger
government and Great Britain. British
spectators and investors are drawing
large sums of money from that country
and are looking westward for invest
ments, and from the present confidential
feeling Of the Londuner towards the
United States, there will be realized in
the next six months the largest flow of
English capital that has been known for
the purpose Of mining investments in
two decades. 1t is evident that when
foreigners are making large and perma
nent investments they invariably look
upon the United States with more bed
rock security than any other country in
the world today, and whenever convul
sions and disturbances arise in other
parts of the world the money is at once
drawn out and reinvcsted in the United
States. - Review.

rogance of his proud position as the
republican dictator in South Dakc ta
and to show his contempt for the then
newly organized populist party, refused
to introduce Senator Kyle TO the senate.
Now Kyle goes back with the aid OF
republican votes and the once proud
"Pickerel," the discredited and dis
gruntl d head of what is left of the
original populst party, will not have
the opportunity to offer second indig-
nifty. Mr.. Kyle will find plenty OF

A Warning to Laborers.

Following is the report and recon-.
mendations Of committee appointed
by the Terry Peak Miners Union to
investigate the condition of the labor
market in the Black Hills, the same
having been adopted by the organiza-
ton named;
TO the officers and members of Terry
Peal Miners Union:
We, your committee appointed to in,
Ne:tigatu the condition of the labor
MARI ct in the Black ills and the effects
of the persistent booming now carried
on by newspapers in the interest OF
townsite companies and spectators, and
also by responsible correspondents OF
the eastern press, who appear TO vie
with each other in reporting fabulous
strikes of gold bearing ore which exist
nowhere except in the vivid imagina-
tions of said correspondents;
We, your committee, find that the
| Hills country is over.run with men
seeking employment which is impossi
bic TO be had owing to the oyer-crowded
condition of the labor market.
! We find that there was Il much larger
number of men here than could get
work before the new crowd brought
here hy the boom literature began tc
arrive Consequently there is much
destitution and distress amongst the
new arrivals, many of whom are being
fed by public charity.
We find that at Ragged Top (tht
most persistently doomed section Of the
! Hills there are only twenty five mer
on the paw rolls Of the different com
panies working IN that camp and the
number is not likely to be increased fol
| some time 20 come. Besides strangers
here ont of work there is about 20 pei
cent of the residents in enforced idle
| ness.
We would therefore advise all labor
ing men TO give the Black Hills wild,
! berth the coming season.
We would warn them against the
alluring advertisements sent ont by rail
road companies, whose object is t
induce rush to the Hills and TINS
make money by carrying people here
After once they get their fare all fur
ther interest in their dupes ends ant
they are left to get out Of the countr, a.
best they may.
We would recommend that copies o
this report be sent to all the leadin!
newspapers of the country for the pur
pose of counteracting the evil influence
OF the boom literature now being 81
assiduously disseminated in the interes
of spectators.
We would further recon mend that
vote of censure be passed on all CORES
pondents of the press who are in til,
habit Of writing fairy tales in order 4
make their illusions readable.
