MINING NOTES.
From the Mining and Scientific Press.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Every representative body of metal
miners in convention in the last four
years have resolved in favor of revis-
ion OF the American mining law, and
such proposed revision has been vari-
ously drafted, but so far none other
than tentative effort has been made to
secure legislation thereon.
Utah miners say there is more profit
in operating a silver-lead mine now
with silver at 635 cents than when it
was 80 cents an ounce. Improved and
cheaper methods, economic processes,
reduced expenses, better transporta-
ton facilities, improved machinery,
utilization OF all mine products, are
among the stated causes.
The American Smelling Company
in its first year is credited with having
smelted at it's various plants about
l 100000 tons of ore; it used 900, 900
tons of fuel and 400, 900 tons of flux !;
the output OF the refneries was l 200
600 ounces of gold. 40,0OO,O0O ounces
OF silver, 100000 tons of lead total
value, about s64 ,OOO, 900, of which gold
constituted nearly S25 .OO0, 900.
Any one holding United States pat
ent to mineral land need do no further
work upon it. nor is there any further
tax or expenditure SO far as the federal
government is concerned. But pat
ented claim, like any other real estate,
is liable to local taxation. Sometimes
such local taxation is more than the
500 annual development work would
be, and the likelihood Of such taxation
has been fruitful cause of delay in
completing title to mining property.
The government OF British Colum-
bia, it is said, has decided to offer for
sale all the government mining claims
in the Klondike region. This news
will be received with much Joy at
Dawson, as it means the development
of the best property there. The prop
erty in question is the alternate claims
that had been reserved by the govern
ment during the big rush. There are
about 10, 900 claims in the reserve.

The new commonwealth of Austria.
liz will be proclaimed on the 1st OF
January. 1t contains a population
of 3,750.000, which is increasing at
the rate of 80, 900 year. New Zea-
land is expected in time to enter the
federation with 1885, 900 additional
population. Two years hence the
commonwealth will have its own tar
i'll on imports, and it is most likely
to be protective of home industries.
The tariff will operate against Great
Britain as we'll as all other countries.

that Mr.. Bryan is practically sure of

it is from Mr.. McKinley's he is dem

unless the tidal wave he is encoun

Carson Appeal: A man giving his

to be a nephew of Governor Tanner
of Illinois, purchased lot of horses
from Bob Grimmon and the Ray
craft Bros. at Carson, drew q check
in their favor on bank in Illinois
for 81 900 and at the same time gave
them another for $500, which he re-
quested them to draw for himself,
saying he was short that amount on
the money he needed to prepay the
freight. The checks were returned
to the Bullion Bank and the Illinois
people knew no such person. The
Raycrasts stopped the horses by wire
at Ogden and will be out several
hundred dollars beside the $500 they
paid Tanner. AS soon as he can be
located he will be brought back here
on a criminal charge. He also passed

however that has resisted all inno-

imitators, but no equals us a cure
for stomach, liver and bowel
troubles. This peerless remedy
has been the standard medicine
Of the American people for the
past fifty years. It is a wonderful
medicine for dyspepsia, indigestion
biliousness, insomnia, constipation
and nervousness. It also prevents
malaria fever and ague. It keeps
the stomach in good condition,
and the bowels regular. Try it,
and you will not be disappointed.

1.-THE Pick and Cad" shullsburg, Wis.
One of the most pleasant Of
society events took place in this
city last Saturday evening at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. F. A,
Thompson, esteemed residents Of
this city.
It was the marriage Of thei1
daughter Elizabeth r.. to MI
Edgar LaRue of Devils Lake,
North Dakota.
Al precisely $50 o'clock, the
groom in .faultless attire and his
charming bride in white batiste
carrying beautiful white roses
were escorted to the elegant par.
lors, where their friends awaited
them, entering to the sweet strains
of a wedding march, Miss Efie,
sister Of the bride, presiding at
the piano. Rev. William Rowe,
pastor Of the M E. church, con-
Quoted the nuptial ceremony,
little Miss Marjorie Oates holding
the ring, taking her part most adj
mirably. After the ceremony
congratulations were showered
upon the interested parties, and
congratulatory kilograms were
read, then all sat down to the re-
past, where skilled and generous
taste had omitted nothing to make
this part most perfect. Mr.. La
Rue is a successful business man
Of Devils Lake, N. d., and is sec
rotary Of the Chautauqua Assembly
work of that state. The bride is
one Of our most polished and pop
ular young ladies and though by
the magic sweetness of her sing
ing, she has made forherself a rep
utation throughout the Northwest
and Canada, it is nevertheless in
her own home city, and in her old
home church where she is best
known, that she is most appre-
ciated, for her unusual gifts, her
true refinement and sterling
womanly character. Mr.. and Mrs
LaRue took the late train at
IScales Mound for the east, and
carried with them the best wishes
Of multitudes of friends.

for many years he made his home
in Grafton. On his return he
brought back considerable jewelry
and diamonds. He made no secret
of this, and his comrades in the
regiment were acquainted with the
facts. In Chicago lately he was
arrested by the local authorities
on suspicion when offering these
goods for sale and afterwards by
William Penn Nixon, collector Of
the port, and Thomas O'Keefe, spe-
cial agent on the charge of SNUG
Cling. and the diamonds, which
were appraised at $1,000, were con-
fscated. Pepke says he was con-
fined in jail from Friday morning
until Monday afternoon without a
hearing of any kind or without an
opportunity to give bail. He says
he intends to bring action against

Bismarck, June 1.-The system
OF licensing supposed soft drink
resorts, at which it has been gen
orally admitted harder liquors were
sold, has been stopped in Bis
marck. For several years the
city has been deriving a revenue
amounting to $4,000 annually
from these places, and city Off
Gals have winked at alleged viola
ton of law. Recently injunction
papers were served, and although
nothing was found, it is under
stood afidavits have been filed
since charging sellers of liquor
with contempt of court in selling
after being enjoined. The city
officials realize that they can't
stay the tide Of prohibition that is
moving westward, and as they can
afford the resorts no further pro-
lection, they have refunded the
license money and warned pro-
prietors to close. All the places
in the city are closed and there
will be no further resumption of
licensed dealing in liquors Man
dan is also dry and it is said
Dickinson's time is soon coming.
Under the laws as at present,
and with vigorous crusade on the
part of the enforcement league,
liquor dealers cannot continue in
violation of law. The license
system was adopted in Bismarck
on a petition of a number of citi-
zens and has been the best practi-
cal system Of governing the liquor
trade, beside helping the city much
financially.

winter, are endeavoring to have

lease their buildings. Constable

any other so called Bloomer club.

Republican Ticket.
THE THE DUTY OF THE 8

The thinking people of this
country are not disposed to turn
back to the dismal days when the
Democrats ruled the land. They
have not forgotten the misery and
want that came with depression
and stagnation as a result of
Democratic legislation. Nor do
they overlook the transformation
that was worked by the election of
President Mckinley and a Repub-
lican congress, the wheels of in
dustry started, work given to. the
unemployed, confidence restored,
and the hum of prosperity heard
on every hand. The people will
not smite the hand that has saved
them. The restoration of the
Republican party to power in 1896
was the &rst step toward the most
prosperous era that our country
has ever known, and following i'm
mediately after four years of the
greatest distress. The people
might overlook this object lesson
in long after years, but it would
bean insult to American intelli-
gence to suppose that a majority
would be SO blind and unapprecia-
tive as to go back on the Republi-
can party now, when one cannot
look about him without seeing the
improved conditions on every
hand. The Bryanites may resort
to every strategy and deception
known to man, but they cannot
hoodwink SO many people as they
did in 1896, when they said there
could never be prosperity under
the present money standard. But
prosperity came, though they were
reluctant to admit it, and now they
are embarrassed by its presence
It is the duty Of a grateful people
to stand by the party and the prin.
ciples that rescued them from
misery and we believe that dut,
will be promptly met.

would be entirely free from mis-
.d fortunes and impositions. The
administration has completely
-vindicated itself in the, unfortunate
Cuban b. matter by ordering a
thorough investigation and prose
cution, sparing no one who may
be found guilty. This ought to
squelch any criticism of the adj
ministration, but it may be that a
few damagogues will continue to
harp about that in the absence of
anything substantial.
