Lady Somerset RESIGNS

CHICAGO, Jan. n.-Miss Frances E.
Willard has left for the West and will
remain for some weeks in New York
and Boston. She said:
"The resignation of Lady Henry
Somerset has been impending for
months and comes as the sequel of
twelve years of most devoted toll for
the cause of total abstinence and pro-
hibition. This work began with her sig
nature to the pledge in 1885 as an ex-
ample to her tenants and has been per-
sistently followed up with a zeal that
knows no bounds. The daughter of an
Earl and the inheritor of wealth, she
brought to the most difficult and un-
popular reform more gifts and graces
than any other single individual has
ever laid upon the sacred shrine"

A Sioux Falls Candidate.

Sioux Falls has candidate for gov
ernor on the republican ticket. The
announcement will come as a surprise
to most of the people of the city, but
just the same it is said to be fact with
out any discount on it. If the Journal
would let the public guess as to the
name of the gubernatorial candidate
they would have to GO through almost
the entire list Of names in the city be-
fore they would be able to guess the
man who is now being groomed for this
place. He is man who stands qnite
high in the business community Of the
city and who dabbles little in politics
but up to date has not done enough OF
it to hurt him very much. He is to be
the anti-gang candidate Of this county
according to the report and it is the
intention of the anti-Kittredge faction
Of the republicans to do their best to
pull him through. The man they are
grooming is John W. Tuthill, and if he
can possibly be carried through it is
the intention to name III. III. Keith for
supreme judge next year. The only
other candidate that is real prominent
just now is Kirk Phillips, who is being
backed by Kittrcdgc, while A. . "ngs-
rud is skirmishing around on the outside
in hopes Of having chaLce to retrieve
himself from his defeat by the little

Changed HIS Views.

1t would appear to be indicative of a
change in opinion, says the New York
Engineering and Mining Journal, when
we find Gen. Warner of Ohio, one Of the
prominent men in the silver movement
actually investing in gold mlnes-as he
is reported to have done in the
Cherokee and Putnam mines in
Cherokee County, Georgia. This is a
bad example, but the General may
plead one Of two excuses. He may
claim, and we believe with much truth
that the gold mine he has gone luto is
so low grade that he will not add much
to the worlds stock OF the traitor metal
and therefore his offense will not result
in much evil; or he may claim that his
experience will probably lead to further
disgust with tie metal and stimulate
the enmity of investors against the min
ing for gold. Notwithstanding the
admitted force Of these supposititous
arguments, we still think it unfortunate
that so ardent an opponent of the vel
low metal should deliberately engage
in an effort to produce it. There are
rumors in the air that General Warner
has thrown silver over as well as gold
in his financial creed, and is advocating
fiat paper pure and simple, and perhaps
it is to emphasize this position that he
has engaged in gold mining.

Important Mining Decision.

The decision handed down by the su-
preme court of the United States in the
Niagara Blackrock case is one of geat
importance to the mining industry, says
the Western Mining World. 1t is re,
markable in that it is practically rever.
sal Of the action taken by that court in
the -Silversmith case. In the lat.
ter case it was held that if vein runs
out of the side lines of claim the side
lines thereupon become the end lines
and the vein cannot be followed in it's
dip under what were originally intended
to be the side lines of the property.
This decision had an important bearing
on thousands of claims that had not
been located with due care, for it is often
very difficult to stake off claim in such
a manner as to be absolutely sure that
the discovery vein runs through both
end lines. A slight DETECTION Of the
course of the vein, common to eruptive
localities, might lead it out of side line
near the corner and thus destroy apex
privileges for practically the entire
length of the claim and in effect destroy
the real value of the property. 1t was
held by the court that the burden OF
knowing the ingress and egress of the
vein, so to speak, rested upon the locator,
and that the court could allow no credit
for any mistake that might be made in
! tracing the course of the vein. AS re-
