TIE PitlSin Miner BiatS.

l
that would be demagogical were its
obtuseness not so apparent, has
taken occasion to proclaim that the
present publisher of the PILOT has
practiced connivency in his politi-
cal department, that he has partici-
pated in an effort to foist terrible
trust octopus upon Gunnison coun-
ty, and that he exhibits monumental
gall in accepting patronage from
silver miners because this paper is
Republican in politics.
The Miner is respectfully infor-
med that the present editor of the
PILOT had nothing to do with the
politics of the paper previous to
January l, 1898. Up to that time
T. E. Songer was the publisher of
the paper and directed its political
course. The PILOT has always
been Republican paper, with the
exception of two years it followed
the Silver Republican standard to-
gether with the many thousands OF
voters and sixty newspapers that
saw they were being deceived and
returned to the old party. Thus it
transpires that Nance has develop
ed nothing but his own ignorance,
and if such appalling ignorance is
permitted to go on unrestrained it
will perchance land him in an
inextricable dilemma. Random
statements are inexcuseble.
The PILOT never has nor can it
be bought. Nance must be on the
market himself, else his thoughts
would not dwellupon such subjects.
IL several newspapers agreeing
to ask legal rates for printing is to
be construed as abetting trusts, we
want to go on record as favoring
such trsuts. Every county official
draws his maximum salary, and
there is no plausible reason why
the printer should not receive the
legal rates for his work as well
as the official. We infer from his
remarks that Nance would rather
play the part of ''scab" than join
the craft in demanding its just and
equitable dues.
The Miner says we must have
great gall to accept support from
silver miners. Such talk is
worthy a fool and is preposterous
in the extreme. We suppose your
infnitesimal publication, which
rarely contains an original article,
and can only play parrot for the
Mining & Scientific Press. has
accomplished more for Gunnison
county than has the PILOT, which
has been here twenty years adver-
tising the resources OF the county
and which represents constituent
cy of $50 out of ,450 voters in this
city. We suppose that you have
done more to develop the mining
resources of Gunnison county than
has George G. Eaton, who brought
over 100000 to the Crystal dis
trict; than Click Bros, DIR. j. w.
Rockefeller, S. l.. Whipp, W. V.
Van Ostern and a hundred other
stanch Republicans who live in
Crested Butte. We venture the
assertion that every man in Gun
nison county is silver man, al
though differences of opinion exist
in regard to the method of attain
ing free silver. Only bigot or a
person devoid of conception would
arrogate all the silver sentiment
to one party.

DRANK HORSE MEDICINE.
And the Indian Agent Listened in
Vain for the Death Chant.

Under date of Nov. 18th F. E. Ken
ney writes from Brainerd that 'the
Indians on the Mile Laos reserva-
ton will receive their annuity next
week, and will have all kinds of
fun with the money. They have
been having big dance for some
days past, but the function" has
been called off for short time on
account of one of the dancers, Rocky
Bill, falling dead. Some say he
trun a fit; others, that the alcohol
from which he derived his inspira-
ton for the dance was too heavily
reinforced by lemon extract; still
others make the assertion that there
was, at the time of his death, neither
one of those liquid bowl warmers on
hand, the supply having been ex-
hausted, and the braves were re-
duced to the necessity of drinking
Hoff's German Liniment. Be that
as it may, Rocky Bills annuity
will be drawn next week by his
sorrowing squaw, and never again
will his pictured signature appear
on the books of the agency at Mile
Laos.
The other day an Indian entered
the store of trader at the agency,
and pointingatthe bottleson the shelf
said, horse sick, and accompanied
the words with the motions of rubb-
ing his legs with his hands. The
trader sold him bottle ofGumault' S
Caustic Balsam, for removing spav-
ms, ringbones, etc. The Indian left
the store to doctor the horse, and
shortly afterwards went out to
show him how to apply the blister.
Going around on the other side of
the team, where the Indian was, he
found him drinking the contents.of
the bottle, and with such success,
that the bottle was just half emptied:
Being somewhat doubtful of the
result the trader induced his Gus
toner to go home at once; and that

of Someryi'le & Olsen, insisted on a

moved Wilson and appointed Mr..
Ball, with the understanding that
Wilson was to make satisfactory
accounting to Mr.. Ball, as soon as
the latter qualities.
There is very little doubt but
what Wilson s bondsmen will be
obliged to put up quite large
amount of money to make up for the
deficiency which the new assignee
will find.

H. N. BALL, ASSIGNEE.
w. 6. Wilson Bounced from p. F.
Ryder & Co.. InSOlVents.

VIM. q. Wilson OF Minneapolis
was removed as assignee of the
insolvent estate of P. F. Ryder &
Co. of Morgan, by Judge Weber,
last Wednesday, on application of
the North Wisconsin Lumber Co.,
one of the largest creditors of the
insolvent estate.
Wilson did not appear personally,
but his bondsmen, of which A. w.
Backus of the 'Backus Lumber Co.
is the principal one, sent up A. H.
Hall, at one time assistant county
attorney of Hennepin county, to
make as good showing as possible.
1t appears that Mr.. Wilson has
been addicted to alcoholism, and it
was due to this that he failed to
make an accounting before, as order
ed by the district court. This is
what Mr.. Hall said, anyway.
H. M. Ball of 0Morgan, who is
quite we'll acquainted with the insol-
vent estate, was appointed instead.
Mr.. Hall brought with him an
alleged accounting by Mr.. Wilson.
Ii this accounting Mr.. Wilson swears
that he received s., 1895. 63 as assignee
of the insolvent estate. OF this
amount $3,585.88 was on account,
81, 1915 was from sales and 800
was from sale of outstanding &C
counts. Against this table of re-
ceipts he desired to place an expense
roll, amounting to 81, 1874. Sc. OF this
amount $3.50 was for attorneys fees
paid to George H. White, $271.56
was for running expenses, $543. 20
was for labors 1893. IS was for freight,
and 81, 1914 was for lumber pur-
chased of the Backus Lumber Co.,
after he became assignee of the es-
tate. In addition to this Mr.. Wilson
had a hotel bill of 1915, a railroad
fare bill of 1928, and sundry ex-
penses of $13.17, which he desired
the court to approve, and then asked
the court to allow him 300 for his
services as assignee, which if al
lowed would cut the amount in the
hands of the assignee down to$72O.
u, to be distributed among the cred
itors of the insolvent firm.

his bondmen, asked that he be al

Thereupon the second officer drew his

INMORT1LITY.

Those OF our readers who do not be-
lieve In immortality will do well to go
down to the baseball grounds at Savin
Rock some fine afternoon and see how
some of the nobler attributes of hui
mainly persist. When they see they
will perhaps be able to understand how
there is that which can last forever.
How many years, or ages, Is it since
Luff, Upper, Nichols, Pabor, Gore, ct
al, did their wondrous work on the
Howard avenue diamond and We're ia
nous and flattered in the glorious even
ings which followed glorious after
Moons? So many that those Of US who
were vociferously and halcyonly there
may we'll feel inclined to be rather in
definite. Let us, therefore, say I'M
counted, and let it go at that. Now at
Savin Rock Ashe Luchia, Parent,
Glenn, Derwin, ct al, do even more
wondrous and satisfying things than
the old crowd did, and they too are ia
nous and tlattered, as they deserve to
be, for it is, and evermore will be,
fine and an enviable thing to play base
ball we'll. And seated in the grand
stand and on the bleachers at the Savin
Rock grounds can be seen many of the
+ 4 boys who used to be ever-faithful
their attendance at the Howard ave-
rue grounds in the brave days of long
ago They We're old boys then. They
are older boys now at least in outward
seeming. Much of their hair is gone,
and what they have left is whittier or
white. They have to wear spectacles to
SCI the beauties of the beloved and sat
is wing game. Some of them even car
ry canes which are quite as much for
use as for show. But the ancient fire
CLOVIS as brightly in them as ever.
ru'F, good stop, running catch,
double or triple play, or scrap with
the, umpire Is as unspeakable as ever.
They still root with an intensity and
| fervor which are not intended to be
lacking in any of the requisites of in
tense and fervorous roofing. Their
wrinkIed uuuntenances sun become H.
minouss with the joy of victory for the
home team, and darken with the woe Of
victory for the visiting aggregation.
1t is a great and an encouraging sight
to see the old boys at the Savin Rock
games Some Of them have been and
are usefrl in their day and generation.
Some of them have won honors and
dignities. All of them have put away
many childish things. But they have
not put away their delight in the noblest
game that the children Of men ever
played, or ever will play. If such de-
| light-such high and pure delight-can
| PERSIST as it does in the old boys
through all their years and all their
changes, is it not reasonable to suppose
| that there is that in humanity which
will exist forever? If there be any gen
tle reader to whom this question seems
| too fanciful all we can say to MIN is
that he doesn't know anything about
baseball or immortality.

COSTLY HESITATION.

The woman who hesitates is lost, and
the man who hesitates in trade some
times loses. 1t is shown how hesitation
by the Russian representatives VINO
finally gave the Carnegie establishments
an order for 100000 tons Of steel lost a
pile of money because of their inability
to foresee the rise in the price or the
metal London Engineering tells the IN
terestiug story. Months ago they hrst
attempted to place this order, ana IN
order to secure the best terms they
undertook to play off the English ana
German makers against the Americans,
and vice versa. AT the end OF last
year the agent was sent to the united
States when rails were selling at SIG
per ton, but he failed to close the deal.
His government hoped to do better by
waiting, and for an excuse there was
some objection to certain details III the
back to England, and found that prices
had risen five shillings above the
American rate Rather than pay the
equivalent Of SIT per ton the Russian
government agreed to waive its former
objection, and the agent cabled to
America, renewing the bid, only to find
that quotations We're by that time $20
per ton. He was then sent to Germany
in hopes of getting a better bargain
He found there was a further advance
there to 500 per ton, with no assurance
of early delivery. Then the cable was
resorted to again; but by that time the
steel mills of the world were so pussy
that no one in either America or Europe
would accept the contract at $25, Wnlch
was then offered for delivery within
the time required. At last, however,
after eight months of wavering, the or
der was placed at $685. an advance OF
about $40 per ton, which means an in
creased cost of 100000 to Russia.
This great contract, Engineering as
serts, will make itself felt in many di-
rections. 1t is expected that it will keep
UP the price Of pig iron for the next
ten years, though not, of course, to its
present dizzy altitude.
