The residence of Charles Lamb was
entered last night by burglars and pair
of silver bracelets and Il neck chain were
stolen. The burglars gained admission to
the house through a cellar window. The
residence Is at 661 South Main street, and
the burglary was committed in the alb
sence of the family. The matter was re-
ported to the police and Detectives Sheets
and Raleigh were sent to investigate 1t.
No CHEVY to the Offenders could be found.
James Dixon reported That two men
passed him Thursday night and acted as
If they intended to hold him up. He was
walking on First South street nearly OPP
posite tG,e police station when he saw
what he Thought was one man walking
toward him, but when the individual ap-
preached Dixon perceived that there were
two men walking one behind the other.
As the men passed him one went on one
side while the other seemed to take pains
to step from behind his companion and
pass on the other side of him. For some
reason or other the men did not stop him.
Speaking of burgiares and hold-ups re-
minds one that there is a rumor current
that a posse Is soon TO be made UP of
Salt Lake men to visit the country in
southeastern Utah for the purpose of
capturing bandits. For a long time past
the country alluded to has been known
as the Robbers RooSt." 1t is said to be
Inhabited by a band of lawlesS men that
live on the country and steal such horses.

Ed. Crafts VIII Make Mining Mat

d L Crafts. the hercules who was
the original discoverer of the hex mine
in Detroit mining district in Willard
county, who has just returned from
British Columbia, informs The Herald
that after looking the country over
from far and wide he has come to the
conclusion that in Detroit district the
suraee indications, for copper and
gold. are better than can be found in
any other country. and in consequence
he win do considerable effective work
in the camp this winter with the inten-
ton Of making an occasional shipment
OF high grade ore from the Marett and
Eclipse mines there in which he is in
tereSted.
Mr. Crafts has been mining in the
SLOGAN country in British Columbia at
intervals for the past eight years and
before coming home this time he dis
posed of several pieces of property

of the dough" he brought home with
him viii be expended in the develop

the camp offers better opportunities for
the discovery OF great mines than any
region visited by him during his eX-
tensiYe travels.

can is a great and wonderful mining
camp, and in describing the leading
properties there he mentioned the
Payne mine. which is largely owned
by Hon. A. w. McCune of this city,
and also the Washington, in the same
vicinity, in which Mr. McCune also
holds a large interest.

ore, the average value of which is 20

the NEW MEXICO IRRIGATION CASE.

It is cause of great satisfaction that
the district court at Silver City, N. M,
hae dissolved the injunction to restrain
the construction of the reservoir dam at
Elephant Buttes in that territory, says
the Denver Republican. II is doubtful
if the government will take the matter
up to the Supreme court, for there really
was little ground for applying for the in
junction except desire to please the
government Of Mexico.
The contention that the Rio Grande in
New Mexico is navigable was too absurd
to be seriously insisted upon, and so
counsel for the government attempted to
base his case upon the proposition that
the river is navigable near the Gulf of
Mexico, and that the withdrawal of water
for irrigation purposes interfered with
that use. II this proposition could be
maintained ii would raise very serious
question concerning the right of the peo-

THERE are strong signs of revolution
in Spain. Several OF the newspapers in
Madrid are actually giving dried up
scraps of truth concerning Cuba. Quite
recently Madrid paper had the courage
to declare that pacitication of the island
is farce that has been going on for more
than year. Such candor is quite re-
freshing, but 1t bodies no good for the
Spanish cause. Perhaps the Spanish
people are beginning to understand at
last that they have been made the puff
fets of a tyrany in this struggle. One of
these days they will come to full under
standing of the situation and then the
Spanish government will tremble.

OUR TRADE WITH CUBA.

In q circular just issued from the
United States department of agriculture,
statement is given concerning our trade
with Cuba from 1887 to 1897. The rather
startling conclusion is reached, that over
| four-fifths of our commerce with the war
swept isle has been destroyed by the war,
and that the aggregate loss for the past
year alone will reach $S0,000,000.
| Our total trade with Cuba in 1898
amounted to $1O2, ,204, Of which one
third was exports. 1t WAS but little less
the following year, but in 1895 military
operations reduced it to $65,678,920.
Last year there was another heavy de-
cline, with an aggregate at the close of
$45,548,610, falling off of over so per
cent in three years. The returns for the
first three months of the present year ex.
hibit continued and very heavy decline.
| They indicate that our entire trade with
Cuba in the year 1897 will not exceed
$20O00000. AS matters stand the strife
in Cuba is costing US in trade more than
million and half dollars week, and
the small remnant of once fourishing
commerce is likely to be further reduced.
Our exports to Cuba in 1894 we're $24,-
1859, and in 1896 only $7,530,SS0. The
exports in lard fell off from $4,023,917 in,
in 1898 to $1,551,185 in 1896, ard of
picked pork from $59,276 to $10,2S6.
In com parison of the same years the
exports of wheat flour dropped from
$2,s21,547 to $647057; of corn, from
$5s2,O50 to $93,2O1, and of all other
breadstuffs from $10S,600 to $34,534. Our
vegetable shipments to Cuba are mainly
of potatoes, beans and peas, and these
declined between 1893 and 1896 from
$97S,264 to $3S6,792. In dairy products
the exports were $l2S,09o in 1898 and less
last year by $46,65S. The loss in ex-
ports of agricultural products is still
more serious. Cuba took from US in
1898 iron and steel manufactures of &c.
SOL 1929, and in 1896 only $769,356. Ex-
ports of manufactures of wood, of coal
and mineral oil were less by from 30 to
20 per cent.
The shrinking of imports from Cuba is
another showing of the same kind. Its
shipment of sugar to US in 1894 was
valued at $63,147,745 and in 1896 at $24,-
102,S3
Since the invasion of the western part
of the island our imports of tobacco have
suffered to the extent of 80 per cent.
One-half of the trade in nuts and fruits
has disappeared. Now that the rural
population is 10 be forced from their
homes into concentration camps the in
dustries of the island will soon be wholly
paralyzed.
There are two leading points to be
urged upon the Madrid authorities. The
inoonclusive war waged in Cuba is cruel
aud unusual in methods, and it is costing
Us in trade $80,00O,00O year. Great
Britain has frequently made vigorous
protest against far lighter inroad upon
it's traffic. Spain calls us a nation of
tradesmen, but we have been far more
patient In regard to Cuba than the En-
glsh have even been under similar loss
of business.

pie OF Colorado to withdraw water from
rivers flowing into other states, provided
at some point below they are navigable.
In that case the right to maintain irriga-
tion works in Colorado would depend en-
tirely upon the sovereign control OF the
state over the waters of streams within
its limits.
The constitution of Colorado declares
that all the unappropriated water in this
state belongs to the public, and the con-
stitution has been formally accepted by
the federal government. So that irriga-
tion in Colorado might be protected by
this constitutional provision, but it would
be rather frail and slender reed upon
ment grasplng for more power.
It is improbable that the higher courts
would take the position that the control
Of the federal government of navigable
streams extends to those parts of such
streams which are far above navigation.
1t certainly would have to be affirmatively
shown that the navigation of the stream
below is interfered with by the withdrawal
of water above. But it has been pretty
clearly shown by Prof. Carpenter of the
state agricultural college and other irri-
gators that irrigation rather improves
than interferes with the flow of streams in
their lower courses. This may not appear
in the first few years after the establish
ment of an irrigating system, but it will
BIS subsequently developed when seepage
waters have begun to return to the chan
mel of the river
