Silent David on Prohibition,

tizen of my state went on y Fourth

they arrested him under an indict-
ment which had been found there.
The authorities from Vermont
proceeded to try him, convicted
him, sentenced him to pay fine
of n certain amount believe
about thousand dollars-and If
the fine (the precise amount | do
not recollect) was not paid it
would keep him in the peniten-
tiary for thirty or forty years fol-

Tuscarora.

The new mill at the Dexter mine,
Tuscarora, from which the town
hopes so much, is apparently all
right and the future outlook, good.
OF operations there the last Times
Review says:
During the last few days the flow
of water at the electric plant has in
creased, and the power is gaining
rapidly. The twenty stamps and
crusher are now run with ease. The
remaining twenty stamps have been
placed in position, and it is the in
tention of the management to at
once start ten more stamps to crush
ing as they have now ample power
to run the thirty.
Four new teaching tanks have
been ordered for the cyanide works
and will be placed in position as
soon as they arrive. The new tanks
will be oblong in shape, 16x32xS
feet dimension, and provided with
wo discharge vents. The tanks
will more than double the capacity O.
the plant and will enable them tC
keep pace with the two mills whicl
are now producing tailings faster
than they can be cyanided.
The mine never looked as we'll as
it does at present. Immense bodies
of ore are being blocked out, and il
the work of development more or
is being broken than the two mill
can handle at present. For this rea
, son work on the additional stamp
is being hurried as rapidly as pos
: sible, and it is expected that within
the next couple of weeks thirt
! stamps will be dropping on Gexte
e ore besides the Kinkead mills, ,whic

How Original Contractors Make Money
at the Expense of the Subs.
The last Silver Knight Watchman
says:
The Postmaster General in his
answer to Senator Stewards resolu-
tioL, calling for information as to all
the sub-let contracts, was unable to
furnish the required information.
He said: "This would involve an
immense amount of labor as there
are nearly 10000 routes sub-let. "
He, however. suggested that small
number of contractors might be sell
ected. ten or twelve, and the requir-
ed information given as to them.
The answer would illustrate the
working system. A resolution was
then passed the Senate calling for
information as to the contracts and
sub contracts of twelve contractors,
naming them. The answer of the
Postmaster General showing how
these contractors, who either reside
in Washington or find it agreeable
TO sojourn in the capital city, make
money at the expense of the service,
and also why the mail service on
star route lines is so miserably per-
formed as it generally is in the far
West.
Then follows tlfe names of dozen
contractors each having from 500 to
500 separate contracts, among whom
is L. III. Hansberger who secured
the Milford and Phoebe route. Han
sberger has S14 contracts on which
his annual pay is $2O7 ,7S4.02 This
service begins on the 1st. of July

contracts have been filed with the
department for which the contract
pay is 1902 2,552.49 and the subcon-
tractors pay is $177 ,25S.23, leaving
