the government will not take the in
itiative in the matter of a revision of
the Dreyfus case but will wait until
the meeting of the chambers unless Ma
dame Dreyfus presents a demand in
legal form.
Paris, Sept. 6.-Figaro says that Gen
Sausaier refused to accept the portfol-

military governor of Paris with the
Dreyfus case and he therefore consid-
cred that he should leave another to
settle the matter. The newspapers con
firm ther eport that THE acceptance of
the office by Gen. Zurlinden, military
governor of Paris was due to President

CERVERA'S THANKS
A GORGEOUS AFFAIR.

Amsterdam, Sept. 6.-The events of
yesterday were but overtures to the far
more important ceremonies of today I'D
on the occasion of the long waited en-
throning of Queen Wilhelmina who
became of age on Aug. 81 The pro-
cession was headed by the kings of Ar
ansenements with the heralds in their
gorgeous antique costumes and bearing
long trumpets, adorned with pendant
flags. But all the splendor of the roy
al retinue was overlooked by the vast
crowds of people whose eyes We're turn
ed upon the central figure of this i'm
posing procesSiOn-the young Queen on
foot amidst the people, decked with all
the emblems of royalty. AT her head
was diadem of diamonds crown shap-
ed. Her robe was of white silk with
long train, under mantle of rich red
velvet on which the lions of Nassau
We're displayed in gold embroidery
The mantle was bordered with ermine.
The sword of state was carried before
the young queen by a general. Her
majesty carried herself with grace and
fortitude but her blanched cheeks were
evidence of the profound emotion in
spired by the greatness of the occasion

SEVEN DEVILS COPPER MINES
A Bonanza that Would Pay Off the Ma
tiOnal Debt.

Garnet, Idaho, is the name of the
camp and proposed postoffice of the
famous Blue Jacket group of mines
which are being developed by the Blue
Jacket Mining Company. The group
is being developed in manner that is
a credit to Superintendent Ireton. His
present showing, with only 40 days
development, eXcelS the famous Pea
cock. The Queen mine, one of the
group, has a shaft 40 feet deep, four
by seven, that is in first-clasS ore
Pieces of four and five hundred weight
of 40 per cent. copper are being extract
ed from the shaft Superintendent Ire
ton says that. as soon as he can pro-
cure transportation, he will ship a car
load of ore to prove that the Blue
Jacket is the richest copper lode in the
known world. He says: After 1
have done the development work the
company intends doing, l will have
copper in sight TO pay the national
debt at the present prices of "copper"
And any one that sees the present
showing will not doubt him in the least
for the Queen, King, and Blue Jacket
No. 1 are growing larger and richer
on every days work. A tunnel is be-
ing run ON the vein that will tap the
last claim some 500 feet in depth.
When the work is completed they will
have a body of high-grade ore ready
for extraction with an average width
of - feet. 1,200 feet in length, and be-
tween 400 and 500 feet in depth Every
shaft drift and cross-cut along this
group bears witness to the above body, |
therefore we consider it a very con-
sentative estimate of what the work
will place in sight.

MARKET FOR AMERICAN STOCK
Consul Says British Columbia Needs
Horses, Cattle and Sheep.

Washington, d. c., August Pin a
partnent L. Edwin Dudley. the Amer
lean Consul at Vancouver, writes that
from his observations in that province
he is led to believe that there is a field
there for the Importation of well-bred
horses, cattle and sheep from the Unit
ed States Mr.. Dudley says:
THE horses in this vicinity are near
lv all under sized and very poorly bred.
Good driving horses are very scarce,
and good draft horses seem to be al
most unknown. 1t seems to me there
is a chance for the importa ton into
British Columbia of a considerable
number of stations of good blood. 1t
is also probable that n market could be
found here for Il limited number of
well-bred brood mares, if the prices
were reasonable. 1 understand that
animals imported for breeding pur-
poses can be brought in duty free I'M
der proper customs supervision
''The cattle I have seen here, with a
few noteworthy exceptions, are not
generally of the best breed. This
should afford market for the higher
bred stock I think a few ShOrthorns
and Jersey bulls could be sold or used
to the profit of the importer. Probably
both COWS mad bulls of these and other
good breeds could be sold in limited
quantities.
This country of hills and valleys
would seem to be We'll adapted to the
breeding of sheep. though L have seen
only one small flock in my visits
through the province. The only sug,
gestion I have heard unfavorable to
sheep raising is that the climate on the
1t.,ir1
humid. owing to the great rainfall in
that region: vet the one thriving flock
1 saw was in the heart of the wet dis
trict. The atmosphere of the noun
tains is freer from moisture. 1t seems
to me that there is a fair opportunity
for some enterprising stock raiser to
bring into this province some high
class stock. I believe he would find a
goor market -Globe-Democrat.

WILLIAM TAPLIN.
Something of the Life of a Former
PhOenician.


Something of the Life of a Former
Phoenician.
William Taplin, one of the old resi-
dents of East Greenwich. died after a
lingering illness. Mr.. Taplin was we'll
known and respected in the village
where he had for many years resided.
Born in Canada he received an educa-
ton especially devoted to preparation
for the ministry. Later he studied
medicine with the intention of becom-
ing Il practicing physician. He did not
complete this course. and learned the
trade of the shoemaker. For years he
followed this branch of business, be-
coming a skfllful workman in the line
which he had chosen.
After residing for some years in Can
ada. Mr.. Taplin removed to Rhode Is
land. making his home in Warwick.
Later he removed to East Greenwich.
and at the breaking out of the Civil
war he enlisted as Il private in the 4th
Rhode Island Regiment, afterwards be-
coming chaplain of the regiment. He
served with the regiment until the
close of the war, receiving one wound
while fighting for his country.
After the war he returned to his
home and again took up the nipple
mentS of his trade. Within a short
time hebecame interested in mines in
Arizona. and for 10 years he worked
there without being attended with any
large degree of success, the low water
interfering with the mining. Then he
returned to East Greenwich, where he
had since resided, at the time of his
return being greatly broken in health
About a year ago Mr.. Taplin's ILLNESS
became of such Il serious nature that
he was confined to the house. Since
that time he was practically never out
of doors for any long period. Sunday
he died. He was in his S1st year. and

WATER STORAGE RESERVOIRS.

To the mining interests of the west
and southwest, the construction of
large water storage reservoirs by the
Federal Government at suitable places
i'll the mountains is as important a
piece of work to this industry as is the
building of harbOrS is TO the sea coast
and shipping interests. 1t is a matter
of national importance in rendering the
country fit for habitation and therefore
strictly within the sphere of the gov
ernment to undertake., as 1t has been
so considered by the government in
Australia under similar climatic con-
ditionS to ours. Our government has
already made exhaustive surveys of
such locations Through the efforts of
the staff of the Geological Survey, and
ii is highly desirable that this excellent
work should become available for ir-
rigatiOn and mining use at as early
n date as possible.
The year 1898 is bidding fair to he
the banner year for water development
in the southwest, but the extent to
which the large storage reservoirs can
be built with Federal aid would far
surpass it. and it is the duty of all cit
liens to do all in their power to help
the cause along, if for no other cause
than that of furthering their own best
interests. No public movement can
aid the development of the west to
such ali sS tent as this necessary meas.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
Some New Information About the
Texas Cattle Fever.

81. W. Imam, of Sherwood, called on
the Press yesterday. Says some of his
own and neighbors' cattle have been
dying from fever, which, he thinks, is
caused from ticks in their ears. He in
formed the Press and we publish it
for the benefit of our readers, that
Fayette TankerSley lost forty head. He
then rounded up his herd, roped every
one that had fever. 80. and poured
grease mixed with a little terpentine in
their ears. and only two of the number
died after this operation. He eXamin-
ed these and found ticks in each nearly
into their brain. The others he doctor
are We'll. which concluSively proves
that this fever is caused from ticks
entering the brain through the ears.
The Press would like to see its pa
irons and the public watch their herds
every day during the summer, and
when an animal shows symptoms of
fever throw it and pour grease into its
ears, letting it soak in well. One or
two others have spoken of saving cat
tie by this remedy.
We have ever questioned whether
ticks on an animalss hide would give
in Texas fever, but it is reasonable that
ticks in their ears would kill them, if
it did not cause fever. a little insect
