A Texas exchange very pertinently
says: The cowardly bully who resorts
to the use of the six shooter to settle all
petty differences between himself and
his fellow man continues to get in his
diabolical work, to cut down stalwart
men in their useful prime, to wreck
happy homes, to break the hearts oflov-
ing wives, and make helpless otfsprings
mourn. Oh, the misery, the want, the
sorrow, the suffering and the wretched
ness that the six-shooter causes! Is it
not high time that the cowardly william
who carries such weapon for the pur-
pose Of shooting down his brother man
were dealt with as he deserves to be ?
He should be looked upon in his proper
hight; should be regarded as a tremb-
ling coward instead of brave man
AS a murderer at heart, despoiler Of
happy homes and blight and curse
to society. Away with the six-shooter
and the six shooter fend.

Letter From Dawson City.

J. f. Bender, formerly of Hermosa,
now seeking fortune in the gold fields
Of Alaska, writes his brother Frank
from Dawson City under date Of Sept.
Goth, a long letter which appeared in
the last weeks issue of the Hermosa
| Pilot from which we extract the follow
ing:
We left Lake Linderman September
2nd, and reached Dawson, September
%, We prospected and hunted few
days along the river and never failed to
find some colors along the Yukon, al
though most fine gold, nothing en-
couraging enough to stop until we
struck Henderson creek seventy miles
above Dawson, and then | left the rest
and came down with another party
bound for the city to try and buy more
provisions while the other boys went up
the creek to prospect and stake claims.
The entire party came down last night.
Just how good our claiSSS are will be
impossible to say until we get down Oil
bedrock and will have to wait until it
gets frozen before we can do anything
in that line, for the whole country is
wet and boggy, the moss is from three
TO fifteen inches deep, and the nature of
the ground each side Of the creek is
similar to tie big marshy meadows in
Mich, in the spring time. We intend
to go back up in day or two and make
winter quarters there, and two Of us will
come back down again and get work in
the mines, while the other two will pro-
spect and hunt Geo was lucky enough
to find and kill a moose that dressed
about 600 pounds. Wages are $500 a
day, they have been trying to reduce
them but on account Of scarcity and the
high price for living. hardly think
they will succeed. There Is no doubt
in my mind from what | can see and
| learn that q few Of the mines that are
opened up, such as the Eldorado and
Bonanza and few joining claims locat-
ed on tributaries Of the Klondyke river
are richer by far than any other placer
mines ever heard Of in the world, but
the richest are ccrralled by momeyed
men from what can learn. a pan OF
dirt from one of the best claims will
gc from 500. to $500, while 20 cts. to
50 80 per pan, there are lots ofthose
claims, there arc other creeks such as
Forty mile and Sixty mile, and tribu-
taries have paying diggings, but nothing
was so rich as the Klondyke. Every.
thing is slaked for miles around, and
there is no chance to get anything with
in ten miles from one Of the rich claims
unless one has plenty Of money or pro
visions.

About 7:30 o'clock the entertainment
began, with singing favorite hymn by
the audience, this being followed by
song by Dora and Anna Tinsley. A
piece entitled the "Star of Bethlehem"
was recited by May Herbert. Then the
exercises were cut short by "Old Santa
Claus" appearing in the door, making
his way toward the tree (which was
fairly groaning under the weight of
presents upon it but soon stopped to
view the crowd, and grunt his satisfac.

the presents, by the aid Of two carriers,
Masters Charles Baker and Russell
Roseberry.
Everything went along smoothly, un-
til L. w. Perkins received representa-

which great credit is due to the manu-
facturer. j. NJ. Dodds and John Ennis

Referring to the aggregate value OF
lowa's farm products for the year 1897,
one Of the papers Of that state says
Iowa has, this year, added in agr
cultural products alone, to the nations
wealth, more than three times the value
Of the output of all the silver mines in
tine United States, "and get" it says,
I'VE hardly appreciate the immensity of
the farming industry and its great value
to the country. The figures are startling
when we consider that the increase of
the worlds production Of gold is but
little more than the value Of the farm
produce o. ra~a" Vet great MANY
Iowa people are planning to go to fr
away mountains in search for gold, to
risk life and health in quest for wealth,
leaving behind them the vast storehouse
from which so much is being taken
every year.

Marked Mining Progress.

In noting the great progress made in
mining and other enterprises through
out the Black Hills during the year 1897,
now nearing its end, we cannot feel
otherwise. says the Deadwood Mining
Review, but what the resources of these
metal producing counties are Of greater
magnitude and industrial importance
than any other section Of the United
States embracing the same area. The
Improvements which have been made
this year by the powerful syndicates en-
gagged in mining and milling auriferous
quartz are of kind that denote con.
fidence in the masterful permanency OF
the ledge stuff on the part Of the opera
tors The management of the Home
stake and associate companies have,
during the year, made surface improve
men is in the way of constructing hoists,
additions to quar,z mills, the building
Of storage tanks, water bitches. and the
extension Of railroad, etc, which re.
quired the expenditure of upwards Of
one million and half dollars. The d.
& d. Company's manager, including the
purchase of mining ground with the i'm
provements, has no doubt invested fully
six hundred thousand dollars for the
year. The Golden Reward, Kildonan.
and d. c. Boley, have paid out for i'm
provements not less tina. five hundred
thousand dollars. With the new com
panies that will before the end of the
spring months of 1898 be permanently
identified in large mining enterprises,
there can be no apprehension regarding
the marvellous future in the commercial
development Of the mineral resources

The Surprise of All.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm Of
Jones & Son, Cow den, H., in speaking
of DR.. Kings New Discovery. says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
La Grippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. 1t seemed to
develop into hasty consumption. Hav-
ing DR. Kings New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took a bottle
home, and to the surprise Of all she be-
gan to get better from the first desc, and
half dozen dollar bottles cured her
sound and well. Dr.. Kings New Dis

work. Try it. Free trial bottles at A..

The Lead Tribune says: "The taxes
in Lawrence county should be greatly
reduced after few years ofimprove.
ment like the year 1897. The number
of mining claims that have been patent
ed during the year exceeds any one
year in the history of the Hills and are
estimated at 500. This addition to the
assessment roll, together with the gen
eral improvements and growth Of the
property in the county, should add n
a clean million to our taxable property
next year. There is no reason why
Lawrence county should not soon be
out Of debt"
