like lion because his name appeared
in THE JOURNAL in connection with an
unsavory transaction recently. As he is
not a subscriber to this great religious

The Young Mems Protective Associa-
ton have organized the Y. NJ. ?. a.
Minstrel Company, and will give a min
strel performance on February 22nd.
They have rehersals every evening and
are exerting their best efforts to give
first class performance. The proceeds
are to be used to purchase scenery tor
the Pavilion, and every citizen should
render them every assistance possible.
Wednesday afternoon, Flaxy, the sor-
rel saddle horse OF Sheriff White was
kicked by another horse and had one of
his legs broken and had to De killed.
Flaxy was particular favorite with the
sheriff, and for years past has car
ried him on many a long and tedious
journey. The horse was 25 years old,
and as a reward for his good work in
years gone by, he was spending his old
age in luxury and his working days
were over.
There has been considerable said about
the case State of Idaho VS.. J. w. Burns
both pro and con. The facts are that
was sworn to on the 3rd day
of jan. 1898 by John Harder, charging
Burns with grand larceny in stealing
one sheep on or about the 29th of Nov.
1897, the property Of one Clarence P,

animation on the 18th of Jam, 1898,

and r. L. Butler the defendant. @. ?,
was sworn and testified that
he was not the owner of the sheep in
question but that it belonged to one ].
H. Erkson of Utah. Upon this showing
the complaint was defective and Mr..
King moved that the action be dismissed.
The political situation in this county
this year will be somewhat removed
rom the order of things in 1896. The |
aw will then separate the Offices of pro-
bate Judge and school superintendent,
md also give US a county attorney. |
Present indications are that the coming |
campaign will be a one-sided affair, so |
ar as it relates to politics proper. The |
)opulists will cut but little figure, as So |
many have deserted its ranks and re- |
urned to their old party, the democratic, |
md will therefore make but little effort |
or anything. 1t is not likely however,
hat any Office will have to go begging,
Is there are plenty of good republicans,
With ASPIRATIONS, to make a lively |
scramble for the nominations, which
will be equivalent to an official election.

4 Pumping Novelty.

The now pumping plant with which
the Comstock is to be drained will be
built by the Risdon Iron and Locomo-
tive works OF San Francisco to the de-
signs OF Geo. II. Evans, civil and me-
chanical engineer, and who is the In
ventor of the pump. The plant Is to
cost $50. 600 and he claims that il can be
finished in thirty days after the pipe
line, which is to furnish the necessary
head OF water, Is IN place.
This pump works on the system Of
lifting water by means of a hydraulic
let in combination with the air-lift prin-
ciple. 1t is automatic, has no pump
rods, plungers or valves, and after be-
ing once put in position needs no atten-
tion. The pump is said to be capable
of lifting IL. 600 gallons a minute or H.
OeO, 900 gallons a day, with a pressure
of 100 miners inches OF water. With
$50 miners inches the capacity is said TO
10. 900 gallons a minute, and with 200
ysiner's inches the claim is made that
20 900 gallons may be pumped out in a
Io.ou;e. or SO, O0o, 900 gallons daily.

A Fisher for Suckers.

A letter has peer brought to IL at
tention written to a party In Ely by s.
Gauterau, Agent for the Home Library
and Supply Association, in which the
writer attempts to reply to the article
which appeared in the NEWS last week
relative to that institution. We are in
formed that copies of it have been wide
IL circulated throughout this section,
but we would take no notice of 1t, we're
1t not for the fact that 1t contains a
gross Misrepresentation, when he quotes
US as saying to him that ''the two prin-
cipal merchants of Ely are owners in Il .
paper and that we are compelled to act
Ia their interest" That both Mr..
Hayes and Mr.. Graham are owners in
the NEWS, is known TO all of our read
ers, but that We are in any way com
PEELED" to act in their interests is ALSO
lutely false and we never made such a
statement. The management of this
paper is left entirely to the writer and
he has never been interferred with by
any oil his cO-partners.
What Mr.. Gauterau wanted was for
us 10 insert a write-up and endorse
ment OF his institution, which we be-
liove to be detrimental to the interests
not only of the merchants but also of
every citizen who makes his living in
this community. We accordingly re-
fused TO do it. At the time we did not
know but the Association could do ex-
actly as it represents. We we're after
wards informed by no less reliable an
authority than Alex. Muir OF Hamil-
ton, that he had received their cata-
logue, and after a careful comparison,
was convinced that The prices offered
were no better on the average than
those offered by the large city mail or
der houses. We are also informed by
a man who is familiar with the working
OF another branch OF the same Associ-
alton in Colorado, that goods ordered
from them were no cheaper than they
could be bought OF retail houses. that
they we're often a month or two in COM
ing, and were frequently inferior in
quality; that people who had ordered
once did not order a second time.
This is written not in the interests Of
the merchants, but for such OF our
readers who may have been interview
ed by this seli-important, staggering
gentleman, and who will no doubt be
grateful for a little reliable information
concerning this Institution. We are
convinced that the Suckers will be
conspicuous by their absence. the
hook shows too plainly through the
bait.

The following are some interesting
facts cleaned from the annual report OF
the Treasurer OF the U. S. for the past
fiscal year:
The net ordinary OF the
Governs ent we're s405, 321, 1876, an in
crease of s57, 597, $50 over those of the
previous year, while the net ordinary
expenditures were s443, 36s, 5s2, an in
crease OF S77, 594, 423. The resulting de-
fciency of s3S, 047, PAT exceeds that of
the preceding year by s19, 1914, 1893.
WAR EXPENDITURES.
Up to the close of the fiscal year the
increase of the expenditures on account
OF the war with Spain was $43, O4l, 1872
for the war department, and s24, 262, ass
for the navy department. For the four
m ouths OF July, August, September
and October, 1898, the expenditures OF
she war department we're sl07, $40, 1868,
being s8l, 6l3, l3l greater than for the
same months In 1897. For the same
months this year the navy department
expended s27, 459, ST., which was &c.
OLA, 026 more than it spent in the like
months of 1897. Up to October 81 the
war with Spain added to the disburse-
ments Of these two departments the
sum Of 1854, 932, 228.

Boulder.

The Salt Lake Tribune says: Joe
Farren, general superintendent for the
Glasgow and Western company, came
in from its properties in Cherry Creek
and at Golconda, New, recently and
brought in a single boulder OF ore con-
tanning over $500 in silver, lead, gold
and copper, that is now on exhibition
at the company's Office. The boulder
weighs I'VE 500 pounds, is from the
Star workings at Cherry Creek, and
shows a large amount of gray copper
associated with steel galena. Another
carload of this ore is now on the road,
the last one yielding the company about
$40, 600.
The grading for the railroad between
the company's plant at Goleonda and
the Adelaide mine in Humboldt county
has been completed aud the laying Of
rail, hich is nov on the ground, will
be commenced as soon rs the ties that
have been billed out of California ar.
rive. The locomotive has also been de-
livered, and the work will be rushed
through to the earliest possible com
p~letion. Meantime the teams are keep
ing the furnaces supplied with ore.
