An extract from speech by Hon.
Frank Mondell, delivered at New Castle
July 4th 1897. We reproduce it on
account Of its lofty patriotism and ad-
mirable sentiment: II believe We hays
many reasons to felicitate ourselves on
this recurrence Of this national natal
day no serious foreign complication
clouds the horizon and fair degree Of
prosperity is enjoyed by our people, for
the rest we have every hope and con-
fdence In the strength Of our institu-
tions and the good judgment Of our
people to settle these questions, that
may seem at this time to be knotty and
to menace our future peace. With law
making bodies rejecting very nearly
the sentiment Of the people, with the
bench properly enjoying their conf
dence, with free ballot system through
which there may be FREQ and perfect
expression of public sentiment, we not
only can glory in the liberties We now
enjoy. but look confidently forward for
their continuation for all time to come.
No stream ever flows higher than its
source, no nation ever becomes greater.
wiser and more virtuous than the pso-
PIE who compose II he who - citizen

in ; manner that IL all citisens failed in
the same measure, the result would be
injurious to the nation Il not good citi-
zen, but 10 an enemy to bis country !;
have this In mind. Let us give our
country our best services, a. We value
our liberties and hops for the extension
Of free governments to al lands and

Mr.. L. w. Hoag, who is at present in
California making tour of the country
in his carriage, in which he had travel
ed over 800 miles, writes very interest
ing letter to the Hermoss Pilot. Mr.. H.
gives an excellent description Of the
country, and incidentally dwells upon
the system of irrigation which prevails
in that country. By this means they
have redeemed the sage lands, making
them the most fertile and productive in
the world. All this should convey a
lesson to our people Of the foot hills,
who have suffered with the drouth from
year to year. all from lack of spirit of
cooperation. When will our people
learn that no cummunity ever prosper
ed, who continually acted on the prin-
ciple OF every man for himself and the
devil will take the hindermost?" The
central pivot of our advanced ciyiliza-
tion rests upon the principle of CO.
operation. All of the great achieve
ments, winch mark the history of the
age we live in. has been wrought, not
by the efforts of any one man, but by
the union of many.

An important experiment has been
made on the New York & New England
railroad, which seems to establish the
fact that trains propelled by electricity
can be run on the tracks used for steam
trains, without interference with the
regular tarffic. An electrical train was
run between Berlin and Hartford, q
distance of thirteen miles, on a regular
schedule, between two trains drawn by
steam locomotives in the ordinary way.
The power was conveyed by the use Of
third rail in the center of the track,
aud no intermediate feeders were used.
The distance was covered in eighteen
minutes.

y To Buy Fire Extineuishars.


There was meeting of the ladies OF
Custer Thursday evening at the opera
house. The object of the meeting was
to take measures to raise money to buy
fire extinguishers and otherwise to i'm
prove the facilities for fighting fire.
The meeting was well attended, Mrs.
Porter occupying the chair.
1t was resolved to give a ball to raise
funds for the purpose and the ball will
be given at the opera house on Wed.
nesday evening. Tickets will be one
dollar, aud supper 25 cents a couple, OF
10 cents single person extra. The oh.
jec. is a worthy one, and the ladies
should be commended for their enter
prise. and it is earnestly hoped that
they will succeed in their praissworthy
undertaking.
Let every one turn out, have q good
time, and help in the acquisition OF a
thing so imperatively demanded. In
addition to the extinguishers, (or in
place of them) it was suggested by Mrs.
Albien, that the wells of the city be
put in order, and about half doz. new
ones be dug. (good large ones,) about
midway OF each of the blocks most
densely populated, with pumps and
hose sufficient to reach any part of the
block. We approve Of this plan, it
will certainly be great help and our
people who at present lin case Of firs)
can only stand and see the town burn
up, can at least have the satisfaction of
being able to do something to beat
back the waves of the frey element
which is licking up and destroying
their homes and property. We are OF
the opinion that it is high time the
citizens Of the gem city got q move
on them in this direction.

The Ontario mine Of Utah it is said,
ranks first among the mines Of the
United States and of the world. It's
workings are said to be far more extern
siye than those OF onr Homestaks. 1t
is capitalized at $l5,000,000 with stock
at 500 per share par value. The total
amount OF dividends paid to date Is
$13,450,O00. There is no stock on the
market but it is quoted at 800 per
share. The owners Of this stock are to
great extent the same as those who
hold the major portion of the stock Of
the Homestake. Lloyd Teyis, who is
the president of the Homestake is also
president of the Ontario. F. G. Drum,
who is secretary of the Ontario, is also
secretary Of the Homestake. while j. b..
Hagin, who it is said owns more Of the
stock of both companies than any other
man. is also Treasurer of both COM
panies. VIM. Il. Hearst, son of Geo.
Hearst. and one Of heaviest owners in
the Homestake, is Vice President of the
Ontario. The underground workings.
as shown by maps accompanying the
superintendents report, exhibits over q
dozen shafts along the line of the vein,
the deepest Of which is something over
1900 feet. From these shafts levels
have been established every hundred
feet in depth down to the 900 foot level
aud drifts have been run from the main
shaft for distance of half mile each
way on the vein. Most Of the informa-
ton in the foregoing we have cleaned
from an article in the Pioneer Times OF
the 18th. 1t is information of interest
to us gladly received and readily beliey-
ed, except as to the portion which pro.
claims that the workings of the Home
stake are Insignificant when compared
with the Ontario mine. We have long
been aware of the superior position of
the Ontario and admirers Of the skill
and wisdom of its managers, but we are
willing to wager forty great apples land
that is big bet for an editcr) that at no
time in its history has it ever yielded
or milled one quarter of the amount of
ore which the Homestaks has produced
in the same length of time. The On
iario ore is of higher grade, this we
grant, but when we come to speak of
mining on grand scale the Ontario is
not in it.
