Broke Jaii.

Fred S. Rollins, recently sentenced to
% noRths in the state prison for
forgery, succeeded in making his escape
from the Lawrence county jail in Dead
wood on Saturday night last. He was
supplied with a pair Of old shears by
some one on the outside, by which
means he removed enough bricks from
the south wall of the Jail to admit Of his
escape through the aperture made. His
escape was unknown 10 the officers
until the next day, giving him con.
siderable time to make good his escape,
but it is believed he will be captured in
a few days. twenty-five dollars reward
is offered for his apprehension.

Mr.. Johnson is interested in mining

in the southern Hills, with samples and
specimens Of ore from each, suitably

Mr.. Johnson is fully equipped for

The War LIZ On.

Bloodless as IL may be, it is neyerthe.
less fact that the war is, to all intents
and purposes, on. Up to the hour oi
going to press there are no reliable dis.
patches indicating the loss OF a man on
either side, but it is, Mt this writing
momentarily expected that the news OF
the meeting Of the opposing laval fleets
and a consequent sansuinary conflict
will be flashed over the wires. Thus
far the war has been notably a one
sided affair, Uncle Sam having decid.
edly the best of it. In the capture oi
the enemies vessels, he has been sue.
cessful to a marked degree, having taken

including their cargoes, of more than a
million dollars. while the enemy has

looks decidedly favorable from an
American standpoint. We have as

II may now be conceded, that it is but

for the suppression of which we are
now at war with Spain, will be ended

Mining Items.

II. B. Swain, formerly Of this place,
now engaged in mining at Ragged Top,
is reported as having bright prospects
and feeling very confident Of future
success. The Pioneer Times, n recent
issue, says he has lease on three claims
Of the A. J. Smith group, and is feeling
greatly encouraged over his prospects
At depth Of twenty-three feet in the
shaft he has chambered to a width Of
fifteen feet, showing the ore to extend
beyond the walls The edge Of the ore
was struck on one side but not on the
other. The shoot is three feet high.
Mr.. Smith has taken out Of the chamber
upwards Of twenty tons Of ore that
averages S43 per ton.
NORTH STAR GROUP.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
North Star group, six miles west of this
place. The shaft on the William lode
has reached the 90 foot mark and will
be further sunk to the 100 foot level
when the vein will be cross cut, after
which, We are informed BY Superin-
tendent Shenck, that it is the intention
Of the company 10 extend the shaft 10
the 200 foot level when the vein will
again be cross cut. The present work.
ings are not in the ore, the vein being
located about 10 feet on the side, hence
any change in the character of the ore
at the present depth may only be sur
missed, but the compsny is hopeful Of
finding marked improvement in cross
cutting when the l0O-foot level is
reached.
A WAITING OPPORTUNITY.
The fee.milling and concentrating
ores OF Lawrence, Pennington and Gus
ter counties must sooner or later direct
the attention Of mining men. There
are we'll defined fssure veins inclosed
between almost perfect vertical walls
that can be counted by ffties, which re.

ness in the output Of bul ion. We can
hardly understand what justifes such
indifference on the part Of our local
mining men to allow these known ore
deposits to remain updeyeIoped, when

petent men should proclaim their COM

NOTWITHSTANDING little has been
heard recently OF the Holland subma-

undergoing successful experiments, and
showing its ability to remain under
water for a long time. Should the offer
of the inventor Of this boat be accepted
by the Government; Uncle Sam will pos
sess a plan of attack which no other
nation is at present prepared to solve.

DISEASE respects neither persons nor
political boundaries, and it is folly to at
tempt to suppress it when one county
provides an efficient quarantine service
and another permits the plague to gather
force, lest the Inauguration OF quarantine
would publish TO the world the existence
of the disease, and thus hamper trade
and repel visitors. Before Congress ad-
jonrns it should address itself to this i'm
portaat question, 50 that any outbreak

in the results they have cntailcd upon

well preccpts: No taxes can be de-
vlsed which are not more or less incon-
venlent and unpleasant. There ought to
be candid construction OF the conduct
OF tie government in creating a tax, and
a spirit Of acquiesence in the measures
for obtaining revenue, which the public
exlgencies may at any time dictate" :"
The signature OF William Mckinley to
the revenue bill which last week passed
both houses OF Congress put. into opera
tlon the second war tax which this gen.
GRAFTON has known. The other was the
one which Abraham Limcon's signature
made a law almost exactly thirty-six
years ago. 1T was" said James G..
Blaine, the most searching. thorough,
comprehensive system Of taxation ever
devised by any government" Not only
spirltuous liquors, tobacco and the lux
nries OF the table were taxed. but the
necessarics, the very essentials OF sub
stances. Yet our fathers paid these oner-
Gus taxes, and they did it cheeriulv.
By that spirit Of patriotic sacrifice they
maintained the honor and dignity Of the
government and the credit OF the nation.
They vindicated the courage and the in
vincibllity OF the boys in blue fighting on
southern battletieldS. They saved the
Union, and made possible the inspiring
scenes which are being witnessed today,
when the men who wore the blue and
the men who fought in gray march to-
gether under one flag against a common
enemy. Compared with the war tax OF
1862 the new revenue bill is mere
bagateile. 1t will, of course, be more
or less inconvcnient and unpleasant" "
But, as Washington taught, it should be
met ''in spirit OF ready acquiescence. -
Those who stay comfortably at home
should be willing to contribute cheer
fully to feed and equip the brave soldiers
who are swetering under a tropical sun,
enduring every sort OF hardship and
privation. and risking their very lives in
the prosecution of the most righteous
war in which Christian nation ever en-
gagged. Let us show both our enemy
and our friends across the sea, that this
war is going to be fought to a finish,
that we've got the men, we've got the
ships, we've got the money, too" Moth
ing could be more effective at this stage
of the war than geeat popular approval
of the war tax bill, not only to shorten
the war with Spain, but to convince
every other nation that we will make
our own terms when the war is over.
