The Herald has completed its second
year of life, and its first under the in
dlvidual management Of the present
owner and editor. Though sorely tried
during the first part of this the second
year of its existence. 1t managed to
tide over its financial straits and ba-
fore the completion of the year was
placed on paying basis. The out.
lock for the coming year is very en-
couraging with goodly patronage Of
advertisement rs both home and lroad
and rapidly growing..subscripton list.
1t has been the policy Of this manage
ment, as outlined when assn ming en-
tirs charge of the Herald, to condemn
and hold up before the public gaze
f-r it's condemnation, corruptness,
ineficiency and wrong dong of any
kind when and wherever we found it,
regardless of whose toes were tram
pied upon. The wrong doer hath no
right to feel aggrieved when justly
censured, but should patiently and ST.
lsntly endure the temporary embar-

past year felt that the Herald was

Copper mining is probably the most
profitable enterprise OF the day, and
1t is more stable than any other class
of mining. Given property where
ore exists in sufficient abundance it
can be made to pay we'll. The uncer-
tainties OF gold mining are not pres
ent in the mining of copper, Tho
outlook at present for profitable cop
per mining zas never as bright as it is
today. An unusual opportunity is af
forded of becoming interested in an
enterprise of that character is pre-
sented by Ell Progreso Copper Mining
Company. The Company's ADVERTISE
ment in this issue consisely states the
case. AS the property has been work.
ed for generations there can be no
speculation about it, and it seems to
be project where only capital is
needed to very proiitably develop its

Doings at Nome.

Fatal shooting scrapes are Of daily
occurrence at Nome.
Silver is very scarce, and a twenty
dollar piece IS worth only $l6 in silver.
The latest news is that the beach
for five miles above and below Nome
is entirely worked out.
Martial law has been proclaimed al
Nome. Colonel Randall and his
United States troops are the law.
Passengers by the San Juan steamer
say that Nome as a mining locality is
a complete failure. The beach is
worked out and only one or two creeks
are paying.
E. J. Baldw.n's bad luck does not
freeze out even at the north pole. At
Nome he bought a lot from a ~squatter
for 4,5oo and vas compelled to give
it up. losing his money.
There are between 10000 and 49,
900 people at Nome and there is not
work for one-tsnth. Thousands have
no money or provisions and their only
means OF living is by theft.

and How the Sight Seers get up

A Dispatch reporter took in the
peace" dance at the pow WOW grounds
last night and found everybody in
Wadsworth there. The reporter did
not blame them and vas very glad that
he took in the show himself even if
Commodore Natchez and General
Sides forgot to send the courtesies to
the press.
Great care had been taken several
weeks before the time of the dance to
plant a break-wind Of willows on the
outer side Of a circle of several acres
and inside Of them were placed the
tents and campoodies. Grub consist
ing Of dried fish. fresh beef from the
neck. flour by the sack, ground
squirrels with the hair on and other
choice d~elicacies. were there in the
plentiful larder.
The soda and sarsaparllla and lemon
ade booth was there several times and
generously %patronized. The stock was
soon gone as probably most Of the in
come went into the hands Of the ga
mble man" nightly when the thirsty
had gone to bed. {
The gamble man. is a great feat
ure Of the show. He is In evidence
several times. Once he plays you
high and low card. that is he says If
you put your money on anything above
the eight you win and anything below
you lose and If a seven turns up the
gamble man takes all bets. An
other one Of him is willing to play you
red or white and rakes his percentage
by taking everything in sight If a seven
Of any color turns up.
Bull Tongue has a beautiful voice
that he uses to tell everybody to get in
and dance. Rusty heard the invita-
ton and when the mad whirl was on
accepted it just as two handsome young
copper colored ladies' jlgged alongside
of him. The dance grip is given by
lnterlacing the fingers and when he
interlaced the ladies' felt a thrill like an
electric shock and couldn't let go. Bob
Little was there and felt jealous of the
other engineer who can run more than
a locomotive. W. hope "Rusty' will
stay home tonight while the war dance
Is on.
In the favorite dance Cy Hoover
says the song is: "Heeney meeny
