A scheme has developed in Duluth
by which the old Temple Opera prop
ertY is to be unloaded onto the county
for a court house. The present own
ers secured the same for a considera-
tion of $1,000 In cash and a $4,000
mortgage. They offer it to the couaty

The yearly farce of trying and SEN
fencing range prisoners has again
taken place in Duluth. Again have
the laws OF the commonwealth been
trampled in the Duluth political mire
and several guilty parties are again
let out among descent people. -Four
men sent down from Ely and they all
return having paid. say fine of $25
each for their various offenses. One
man plead guilty to selling liquor
without license and he was fined $25.
Another robbed his comrade of $50
hard earned money. He plead guilty
and gets 80 days in Jail. Two broth,
ers lay for poor in0ffensiye Austrian
and while one holds him the other
jabs him with knife in % different
places inflictlng % severe wounds
either one of which might have proven
fatal. The two cutters plead guilty
In Duluth to assault and they are
fined nominal fine of s25. Thus can
be cited dozens of cases from this sec
ton which have all been handled in
the same manner. Is it any wonder
that taxpayers are getting abundant
ly tired of such doings? Should fell
low who has stained his hands with
human blood in attempted murder,
and because he pleads guilty be used
as hero? 1t is about time this thing
was put stop to, Some fine morn
ing one of these knifers will be found
dangling on the end of a rope. Then
probably this cutting will cease. $25

Jail is nothing more than picnic.

Twenty-Five Thousand May Quit
: Work--Street Car Strike.

Pittsburg, Pa, IA strike of $4,000
coal miners in the central district oil
Pennsylvania is threatened. Within
the last ten days secret meetings have
been held at RobertSdale and Clear
field, at which national district Off
GERS of the United Workers associa'
ton were authorized to prepare the
machine miners of the whole district
for q strike to be declared as soon as
those officials thought the time was
ripe. \ letter from the national or
ganizer received here declares this will
be within o month or six weeks.
A complete tie up of mines in the
central region, which includes the
counties of Cambria, Clearfield, Jeffer'
son, Armstrong, Huntington, Bedford,
Somerset, Center and Clarion, would
seriously hamper the great ship coal
ing denots of the eastern seaboard, for
that is where most of the product goes.

FORCED LOAN DEMANDED.
Latest Move Of Nicaragua Against
American Merchants.

New Orleans, La, June lO.-AdVlceS
from Bluefields, Nicaragua, by the
steamer Sunniva, state that in antici-
patton of war with Costa Rica, Presi-
dent Xelaya of Nicaragua has deter
mined to retire all the paper money
and put the money OF n silver basis
To accomplish this the government
proposes to make the American mer-
chants play n prominent part.
In order to give a semblanCe Of regu-
larity to what virtually amounts to a
forced loan, General Estranda, in com
mand at Bluefields, called a meeting
of the merchants on May 30 for the os-
tensible purpose of consultation as to
how the money was to be raised. He
stated that the amount of paper
money outstanding was 100000 soils.
He gave the merchants until the fol-
lowing day to think over the matter
and make up their minds.
He was asked how the government
proposed tc pay the loan His an
swer was that the duties on liquors
and 20 per cent on merchandise inn
ported would be pledged to liquidate
the debt. The American merchants,
having proiited by experience in deal
ing with Nicaraguan officials, were not
inclined to accept this statement.
General Torres left Bluefields re-
Gently with 165 soldiers and forty pris-
oners, engaged In the late revolution,
for M~anagua, where the latter were to
be tried and eventually shot In order
TO reach Managua it was necessary TO
ascend the San Juan river, q portion of
which flows through Costa Rica terri
tory. The authorities of the latter
country refused to allow armed men
to pass. The soldiers and prisoners
were left at Greytown and General
Torres went on to the interior to con-
suit with President Zelaya.
Troops and supplies are being hur-
ried to the border by both Nicaragua
and Costa Rica, and the clash may
come at any moment. The Vixen has
arrived at Bluefields to relieve the De-
troit. AS she is of much lighter draft
than the Detroit she was enabled to
come up to the town. The Detroit has
been anchored several miles out.

Black Hills Mining News.

Custer City, S. d., June 12.-This
summer will demonstrate the nature
Of the veins of quartz ore in Custer
county. If they are verticals and
widen out and increase in value with
depth, there will be some of the rich
est mines in the Black Hills opened up.
There are eight or nine mining dis
tricts in the county in which quartz
veins have been discovered and partial
Iy opened, and when one shaft reaches
: depth of 800 feet or such a matter,
resulting in the opening mp of II good
mine, the country will take a rapid
step forward. At present there is no
neal producing mine in the country,
but q lot of very promising openings.
More real development work has
been done in the mining districts,
especially in the Dansby, Four-Milc
and East Deadwood in the past six
months than for a long time previous.
&c is believed that Custer county has
seen its worst days now and that the
three or four good companies now OPP

of good bodies of ore. Custer is COM

strangers are arriving looking for gold
and copper ores. Great things are eX-
pected of the new dry process plant
which has been set up in the AleXan-
der stamp mill in Four-Mile camp,
west of the city. II treats any concen-
trating ore without water, and, ii is
claimed, at n cost not to exceed $3.50
per ton. Test runs have already been
made with satisfactory results.
