The Illinois Legislature is

The receipts of the English
government for the past year
were the greatest in the his
tory of the country and yet
the deficit of the same time is
also the largest of any year.
This condition is the result of
the heavy burden imposed
upon the country by its policy
of ''imperialism." Govern
ment of a people by another
people is very expensive and
also very wrong.

A resolution has just been
passed by the City Council of
Wertzberg, Bavaria, which is
worthy of emulation. Accord

of poor pupils of public
schools of the city are
to be examined and cared
for free of cost, provided
their parents give their con

diseases of the ear and throat
in a like manner, should the

slight expense the teeth of the

China has existed for 1000
years. 1t is a vast country.
Its unprogressiveness is large.
ly due to the fact that it has
been populated by a people
that largely thought alike, felt
alike, hated and loved alike,
dressed alike and were almost
people of one mind. Where
there is the greatest individu-
atty, the greatest personal
freedom and the greatest free
dom of speech and action there
is the greatest progression, the
greatest intelligence. If every
man on the face of the earth
had the same opinion about
things that pertained to both
earth and heaven the world
would go to the demnition
bow vows in short order. So
far as we pattern after others
and initiate others, depend upon
others for ideas and assistance
we are helpless and rank fail
ures. A man must think for
himself in all things, act for
himself in most things, and
govern and support himself if
he wishes to make the world
a better place to live in, and
keep the level of humanity
from falling to that of the
Chinese.

grove had the following to say
regarding the present outlook
at the Hump:
"For the amount of devel-

nal showing. While more has
been heard of the Big Buffalo
than any other claim, this fact
is attributive more particular.
ly because of the big price,
$675,ooo, for which that prop.
erty has been bonded, but
there are any number of other
really first class properties
which the public scarcely know
anything about. The present
surface showing is not confin.
ed to two or three, a half doz.
en-. or even twenty claims, but
seems to be generally scatter.
ed through the entire district,
for hardly day passes that |
do not hear of a favorable
showing in some property
which l had never before
heard mentioned. 1t is hard
for one to believe of the i'm.
mense richness of this district
unless he has given it careful
consideration. When a min
ing man first hears that there
is an immense body of ore i'm.
mediately on the surface from
thirty to forty feet wide,
which will average across
from 500 to $15o per ton, in
gold, and this is putting it low,
he simply does not believe it,
because it's SO entirely differ
ent from anything which he
has before heard that he says
it is impossible. Yet such is
a fact in the Buffalo Hump
district If we were COMPEL
ed to rely upon the statements
of one or two experts we might
think they had been deceived
in their examination in some
way, but, without exception,
all mining men of experience
after visiting the district ex-
press themselves as convinced
even against their own will,
and their judgment.
"While at this time it is a
remarkably rough road to the
Buffalo Hump still quite a
number are going in, many of
them conservative and reliable
ard with considerable exper.
fence, with a view of securing
properties. At this time there
must be 100 or IFS men at
work in the district, the prin-
cipal number, of course, being
at work on the Big Buffalo,
but a number of other claims
are being economically and
judiciously developed. The
sleigh road is now open from
Grangeville via Elk City and
Badger to the Hump, and
quite a major portion of the
travel goes that way, but Co.'S
tin Brothers are opening a raw
hide trail up Slate creek to the
Hump which will materially
lessen the distance to be trav.
eled. 1t is hoped to have this
route open within a week.
This trail will leave what is
known as the Mt. Idaho and
Florence road at Slate creek
and goes up Slate creek and
will be total length of about
twenty-five miles from its
point of intersection with the
Florence and Mt. Idaho road.

NEW MINING LAW.
Idaho Made Some Changes.

!
the mining laws of the state
One of these, house bill No.
3I3, by Johnesse, amends the
law with reference to the man.
ner of making locations of both
quartz and placer claims. One
amendment increases the time
allowed for marking the bound
aries or locating a claim from
three to ten days after discov.
cry. The other amendment
requires a statement in the at.
fidavit of assessment work
that "all stakes and monu.
ments or trees marking the
boundaries of said claim are in
proper place or position The
act carries the emergency
clause.
TUNNEL RIGHT OF WAY.
Another mining act passed,
known as house bill No. 314
by Johnesse, gives right of way
for tunnels. The following is
the full text of the act:
Section I. Any person or
company who has or who may
hereafter have a tunnel or
cross-cut the mouth of which
is located on his own ground
or upon ground in his lawful
possession, shall have the right
to drive and continue the same
through and across any locat.
ed or patented claim in front
of the mouth of such tunnel,
but not to follow or drive up.
on any vein belonging to the
owner of such claim.
"Sec. ?. Each tunnel or
crosscut may be driven and
worked for. the purpose of
drainage and for the purpose
of reaching and working min
ing ground of the tunnel own.
err beyond the intersected
claim. The owner or owners
of any vein or any claim or
claims so intersected or one
who has a right shall have the
right to enter such tunnel up.
on application to the owner or
owners or person in charge OF
such tunnel, without resorting
to any process of law, for the
purpose of making a survey
and inspecting such vein or
veins as may be crossed with
in the boundary lines of such
intersected claim, and if the
owner or owners of such tun
mel shall, by bulkheading, dam
ming back or in any manner
prevent the inspection or sur
vey hereby provided for, or il
such owner or owners shall ir
any manner prevent the natur
al drainage of water from such
intersected claim or claims
without the consent of the own
er or owners thereof, it shall
work a forfeiture of all right:
granted nnder section O
this act.
"Sec. 3. If any ore, tn.
property of the owner of thu
claim intersected or crossed, b.
extracted in driving such tun
mel, it shall be the property o
the owner of the vein from
which it was taken and tn,
owner of the tunnel shall b.
liable for all actual damages O
injury done to the owner of tn
claim crossed by his tunnel.
"Sec. 4. In all actions be
tween the tunnel owner ant
others involving the right t
any vein discovered in sucl
tunnel the burden of provins
that the vein so discovered i,
not the property of the advers'
claimant in such action shall
be on the tunnel owner"
This act repeats all conflict

ARRESTED AT A REVIVAL.
Penitent Sinner Confessed His Sins
 Prayed When Policemen Came.


 Philadelphia, Jan 29-Martin An derson was a night clerk at the Union mission, Columbus. O., until one night last November, when he disappeared with $2OO taken from the receipts of the place. He has been one of the habitues of the Sunday Breakfast as sociation in this city lately, imbibing religion with his coffee. In a spell of recent piety he made a public avowal Of his sins, and tonight at the request of the Columbus authorities, the police arrested him. They found him at Sunday night revival, and when the hands of the law were placed on him he called on the assemblage to pray for him.
 The penitent knelt, and all the rest of his brethren dropped to their knees, including the detective and blue-coat- cd policemen, who entered into the spirit Of the occasion. The supplica- tion continued for ten minutes. Then, with bowed head, the penitent was marched in silence from the hall to jail. Andersen will be sent to Colum- bus. The S200 is all gone, Hunger brought him to the shrine of faith and repentance.
