The Decision in Kentucky.

The action Of the United States
Supreme court in the matter of the
Kentucky tangle does not come as a
surprise. 1t decides that the case does
not come under its jurisdiction, there
by refusing to interfere with the de-
Cision of the Kentucky court of ap-
peals which declared ]. c. w. Beck
crnor of the state. There is no doubt
that Mr.. Taylor, the Republican nomi-
nee, was the choice of the people for
governor, and received a plurality of
the votes cast. But the Democratic
Legislature, acting under the infamous
Goebel law, counted him out and de-
cared Mr.. Goebel governor. The
supreme court simply says that Ken
lucky makes its own laws. and if it is
willing to have such a law as that in
question, it must suffer the conse-
Quences. The court does not say that
Coabel, or his political legatee. Beck
ham, was elected governor. 1t simply
refuses to interfere with a Legislature

people expressed at the polls. named

Bath Enterprise: The ProhibitionlstS

September. they will cast a few hun
dred votes at the polls and another
chapter will be added to the continued
story Of third party politics in Maine.
Had these worthy and well-meaninS
voters remained in the Republican
party they might have had some
weight and influence with the law
makers and enforcers. Having left
that party and organized one of their
own. they are simply nothing. Proof
of this is found in the fact that Re
publican legislatures passed the anti
liquor laws of this State and these
laws were vastly better enforced when
the Prohibitionists were within the
Republican party. 1t must not be con-
sidered for an instant that no temper
ance men are left with the Republi-
cans. on the contrary there are thou
sands who would be glad to follow the
temperance leaders had they remained
in the old party. The Prohibition
party has never accomplished anything
and it never WILL beyond throwing
about five per cent. of the Suberna-
torial vote. However, they are happy
in working for a principle"

Items From Various Sections
of the State.

The directors of the Utah Consoli-
dated (Highland Boy) have finally taken
the public into their confidence and have
given out a report for the Is months
ended June 80, 1900, covering the opera
ton of mine and smelter. During that
period the receipts from the sales of COP
per, silver and gold were 81, 16S, 459. The
mining, smelling and other expenses
amounted to $500, 1872, leaving a net profit
of 1861, 627.
Inc new improvements now being
MADE at the mine will cost about 1920, 600.
l It's the expectation of large interests in
the property that dividend payments will
commence with the New Year. Presi-
dent Broughton in his report says that
the company has a property of assured
value with a long life to look forward to
and that copper is being produced at a
cost that will compare favorably with
that of it's competitors.
The directors say: 1.-THE balance to the
credit of profit and loss, $62S, 294, is being
employed in expenditure on capital ac-
count, including the cost of the extern
sion of the smelter and new equipment
found necessary for the more economical
handling of the ore. These additions are
expected to be completed by the end OF
the year.
THE smelter is now capable of treat
ing 225 tons of ore per day; by means OF
the extension the capacity is expected te
be increased to $50 tons per day.

The facts of the case. however. show
that Mr.. Bacorn in nowise owes his APP

The proof is SO plain that in this case Z
word to the wise should suffice and
should have some little effect on politi-

In March. 1898. Mr.. Bacorn was the at

was losing money. Early in March, Mr..
Gushing, a representative of the eastern
creditors. who owned three-Quarters Of
the debt and a large portion of the stock
came to Butte to discuss matters with
their attorneys. Mr.. Bacorn told Gus
ing they must eithe raise more money
or go into a r~eceivership. The latter
thought they would not be willing to put
more money into the concern. and would
probably have to get a receiver APP
pointed.
They discussed whether both could be
appointed joint receivers. 1t was agreed
that if this could not be done, Mr.. Ba-
corn was to be sole receiver.
As a receiver can only be appointed af-
ter a suit has been commenced, n as
Mr.. Bacorn was the company's attOr-
ney, and would have to appea for it., 1t
was necessary to have some one appear
for the creditors, so he took Mr.. Cushing
own and introduced him to Mr.. Forbis,
who agreed to act for the creditors in
case action became necessary.
Thereupon Mr.. Gushing went east
again.. and met tbs creditors and the Off
GERS of the company. 1t was decided to
have a receiver appointed. and the board
of directors adopted a resolution consent

Mr.. Cushing, or to his appointment alone.

pleted to drive a number of tunnels on

the Tiger, the miners who do the work
to receive an interest in the claim. Con-
tracts have also been let for driving
600 feet more tunnel or h Josephine,
and 300 feet on the Mountain Chief. A
new strike vas recently made on The
Mountain Chief, at a depth of 200 feet,
exposing a body of extraordinary rich

spector, examined the ore and pro-
nounced it to b. very valuable, and Mr..

mine last spring, is naturally elated at
the promising outlook. This mine Is
one Of the properties. Seventeen min

complete.
