IMPORTANT DECISION

Helena, Mont, July 12. After a hard fought legal battle Charles Ke1- ley, who is now ir Spokane hospital, totally paralyzed. will recover s22,500, and a check for that amount is expect ed here tomorrow.
 The supreme court today decided the issue in the case in a decision that is regarded as one of the most important to mining men in the history of the state
 Kelley sued the Fourth of July min ing company for $50, ,000 damages in 1894, and obtained judgment fer S15,000. He was brought from Spo- kane to testify in the original trial on @ stretcher, at the expense of strang CTS, who were appealed to for funds. The company was insolvent and an- other action was brought against the stockholders to hold them liable for the money.
 The company was stocked for ST. o0o.000 and the jury found that the property was worth szZ5.000. The court QOIQS that SLOck IS unpdlu, W0SI the property has little value In pro portion to the stock issueu against, and that holders are liable for the debts of the company.
 The decision is regarded as a blow at men of influence" to whom stock is issued to induce them to lend their names to an enterprise.
 The court says, however: Good faith in the valuation Of the property is all the law demands. By good faith is meant the actual belief of a promi- nent business man in the value put upon the property. Belief based upon visionary speculative hopes will not relieve the stockholders.
 J. K. Clark of Butte, brother of w.. A. Clark. and himself a millionaire. was the wealthiest member of the Fourth of July company and the judg- ment is obtained against him and he announced yesterday that he would pay it immediately. Nearly s7,OOo have accumulated, in interests and costs, since the judgment was first ob- tained. The decision of the court will have deterrent effect upon wildcat companies all over the west.

 The Green Valley mining district is certain to attract more attenrlu1 in the near future as it's golo mines pos sess much merit and has a country tributary to it rich in copper and sil- yer. The development of the district has been retarded by the difficulty and high cost of transportation. The completion of the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railroad to Globe will be of. great advantage to Payson and the whole of Tonto Basin as the road be- tween Payson and Globe is fairly good and open the year round.
 Mohave shows more mining activity at present than any other county in Arizona. Mining companies are push ing development work with vigor and big bodies of shipping ore are being blocked out. The White Hills com pany will soon be running the full ca pacity of forty stamps. Several ten stamp gold mills will also be running within a month.

THE PROsPECTOR.

The prospector is the pioneer of the business, the forerunner to whose nat ural or acquired astuteness each min ing state owes it's new districts ana the ultimate unfolding of its mineral re- sources.
 The prospector seldom becomes @ wealthy mine owner. He usually dis noses of his claim to the small inves- or, who partially develops it and in the capacity of a middle man, so to speak, disposes of the property in all or in part to men Of wealth who con- vert it into a mine This is the usual course of procedure. The prospector above all men is entitled to the en- couragement of the law, not for his own sake alone but because his WorK, in the natural order of things, lays the foundation for great mining camps. He is to the industry what any plo- ueer is to the development of coun- try or. the elaboration of valuable idea in science.
 It is unfortunately true that some wealthy mining men-more pernaps than are apparent on the surface-fa- vor such a revision of the federal laws as will kill otf the original type or prospector, as created by the environ ment of the mining belts. By making it difficult to acquire preliminary tltle In mining claim, throwing around the effort a puzzle of techn1calltles ana lines of duty and expense with wnlcn the average prospector cannot comply, they would drive him from the held and make room for the employe of mining companies that are seeking to secure good mining propertles at small expense for speculative pur- noses. This antagonism to the regu- lation prospector is often manifested in bills introduced into congress wn1ch make it more difficult for a. man to take a mining claim, increasing the burdens of the prcspector both In financial way and in technical require ments.
 Most of the so-called safeguards which men are trying to throw around the preliminary taking of mining claims are pure, unadulterated rot, aimed at the head of the proSpector. To aid the surveyors anme would com el the prospector to have the lines run around his claim and field notes made before preliminary title could be se- cured: others would have him make an immediate payment of cash into the countr treasury, in lieu of the an- al<representation work; still oth- CTS would have him prepare technical papers for filing that would compel him to employ an attorney on an an nual salary, and so on ad infnitum.
 Let the mining congress simplify the work of taking claim to the minimum point consistent with a ra- tional description of the property and a fair, unvarnished explanation of the purposes and plans of the prospector. Let the expense of taking a claim be reduced to the lowest possible point, and let liberal provision be made for holding the claim a reasonable length of time without compelling the owner to relinquish his rights to some one who has enough money to speculate upon his discovery. Give the pros pector every advantage that can con sistently be accorded, and thus en- courage men to search diligently for mineral wealth.-Western Mining World.

Fl HAND OF GOD.

The American nation is prospecting
for a new era, for a larger destiny. In
a morning she threw away the tradi-
.tions-shall we say the swaddling
band9-of the past. These questions
knock at our door: Ia America to be-
come greater America9 Does the
arbiter of nations decree that she shall
extend her borders, embracing island
continents in both oceans8 Is she to
stand beside England, equaling her IN
sea power, and in shaping the destiny
of nations9 Are the Anglo Saxons to
stand together to repel an invasion Of
Slaves and Latins2 Are they to be-
come Gods Israel to hold back the tide
of night9 Must another Empire, Ro-
man like, prepare the way for a neW
evangel9 Is Armageddon hidden in
some soon. coming to morrow? If SO,
we may we'll see how GOD is either
waking up u nation, or, overruliDg
it's awakening, go that it may be ready
to catch it's cue in earth's drama and
c me forth equipped to act it's part.
Even yet America does not realize her
power. She has not been aroused,
hardly half awakened. The springs
of her foundations have not been
touched. There is a power in her

The American nation is the re incar-
ceration of the earth's youth. The
dauntless spirit Of the Morse, the Dane,
Angle and Saxon have been blended
and tanned to victorious contests on
the fields Of commerce and manifac-
ture. Her accumulated population
and wealth and invention have made
her restless and ambitious. At Manila
the young lion rel iced in his unmeas-
ured strength, and tasted blood. San
tiago has cleared away ell lingering
doubts. The new half formed purpose
seems h~ardending into an outstanding

COME TO THE STATE ALLIANCE.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
We hope the delegates and breth-
rem from all over the State will make
it a point to come to the meeting of
the State Alliance, August Gig, even
if it requires some sacrifice to do SO.
These annual gatherings bringing
people together and renewing acquaint-
notwithstanding problems that in
terest farmers of every section of the
State-should be encouraged and made
a means of real helpfulness and gen.
uine pleasure to every one whose good
fortune it is to be here. Reviewing
the past, planning for the future, dis
cussing the problems that stand as
seemingly impossible barriers in the
pathway of progress, giving to each
other the benefit of u varied expe-
riences and gathering fresh hope, in
SEPARATION and encouragement from the
experiences of the successful, will
more than repay for the time and ex-
pense incurred in coming.
We cannot name all the reasons why
you should come; but come, come, and
again and finally we say, Come!

A NOTE FROM WASHINGTON
COUNTY.
Weeksville, N. Q.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
I see in The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
that some Populists favor fusion with
the Republicans, a few favor fusion
with the Democrats and some favor no
fusion at all.
In your issue of the 10Th ult.,
Mr.. J. @. Freeman says he especially
despises the Republicans. Now, Think
that in State affairs the Democrats have
been much more corrupt than the Re-.
publicans, still If l knew the Populist
party could go through the channel and
not run aground, I would say, mo
fusion" but it must be remembered
that in 1894 the Populists and Repub-
licans did fuse or co operate and as a
result a lot of good work was done in
legislative halls. such being the
case, and Washington county Popu
list distinctly remember it, you may
judge which way we will steer our
ship.-E. P. OVerton.

ing industries of Polk county. The ex-
perimental stage has long since been
passed, and planters are now beginning
to grow this valuable cereal for profit.
For many years here and there in the

simply for family use. Rice under fa-
vorable circumstances will yield a re-
tIrn of eight times as much per acre
as cotton.

ROWAN COUNTY FARMERS AL
LANCE.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
This meeting was held with Stire,
walt Sub. on the Is b and 16. h of July
with a good turnout and much inter
est.
Besides the regular order of business,
much was said relative to the farmers
interest. Much has been said about
the Alliance in politics, but had such
takers been present at this meeting l
think they would have been convinced
that they have been laboring under a
very great mistake. This is a farmers
alliance and not a political alliance.
The great object of the Farmers Al
lance is to talk of things pertaining to
the Improvement of the soil, the in,
crease of yield to the acre, the best i'm
provements for cultivating, the best
kinds of grain adapted to the various
soils, etc. And as the farmers are the
producers of the food and raiment of
the nation, it is a great mystery to the
writer how so many of those who eat
meat and bread can oppose and try to
discourage an organization that tries
to adopt the best methods for raising
such things.
Tnen again, We have many lawyers,
many doctors, many preachers, many
editors, many merchants and many
tradesmen who oppose an order that
tries to adopt the best plans to raise
subsistence. There is not a class, and
perhaps not an Individual in the civil.
ized world who is not fed by the farm
err; and there are also many farmers
who cannot see their best interest. If
all the title g # the soil would come to
gether in Sub. meetings, they could
get such instruction in agriculture as
they would not get elsewhere; and es
pecially so with such as do not take
any farm paper; besides ell this, we
could combine our experiences, ex
tracts from agricultural papers, get the
best from ali such papers, combine the
light given, and thus be a great helper
to each other and of untold benefit to
such as do not read much. It would
take one man a long time to learn by ex
| perience what is best for every kind Of
soil; but in the Alliance we can com
bine our knowledge and in a short time
reach the best conclusions for each in
dividual farmer. But many farmers
are lead contrary to their best interest s
by those who eat the farmers produc
tions; and by political cranks who
cry out that 1.-The Alliance is in poll
tics" If there is politics in farming
then there may be some bipartisan
politics in the Alliance; otherw wise l
cannot see any.
But as the Alliance labors to keep
down i'll will, strife and law suits be-
tween individuals and neighbors, the
writer ia not over much surprised at
the opposition of lawyers, but cannot
understand why many preachers op-
pose an order, the object of which, is
not only to promote the morals of the
country, but to put the laity in such a
financial condition as to enable them
to increase the pastors salary, and do
more for missions and general benevo-
