UrAH's MINING BUSINESS.

E. B. Braden, assayer in charge Of
the United States assay Office at Butte,
has made his annual report for 1899 to
the director Of the mint, and it is print
ed elsewhere in this issue of The Her.
aid.
Notable in the results of the year for
Utah is the heavy increase shown in
the gold, copper and lead product. The
gain in gold is $1,13414O, nearly all of
which IS credited to the Tooele county
and Mercur camps. Copper returns
give a gain of $Sz7. 491. representing an
increase in tonnage OF 4,1I8.8O2 pounds.
The price on which the statement is
based shows that Utah's copper
brought 1871 cents in 1899, as compared
with 1908 cents in 1898. Tintic and
Bingham are credited with 1856, 7O5
pounds of copper, with a total state
output of 9,S1O.344 pounds.
Lead brought S75S,143 more than in
1898, due to a little over 1000, 600 pounds
increase in production The average
price was $40, agains+ 1913 in 1893,
and $4.20 quoted at present, with sales
below 81. Tintic and Park City pro-
duced over 80 per cent of the lead.
Mr. Braden's s.s9er estimates are
based on coinage prices, probably for
comparison with statistics of former
years, but the effect is misleading
Utah, for instance, produced 600, 600
ounces more silver tn 1899 than in 1898,
and the mint credits the output of T.
1S3,107 ounces at coinage rates, with
a value of S9.S27. $50. In fact, its value
is s.. SOC, 900 less than that sum, and the
propOruonate increase for 1883 is about
$3.50, 600. instead of $72S, S74, as shown in
the mint table.
Juab county still leads in silver pro
ducticn, with Summit a close second.
The two counties together gave the
state 80 per cent of its total In silver
The transition of Bingham from silver
to copper is emphasized by he fact
that Salt Lake county, which now
leads in copper, produced only 2O1, S01
ounces Of silver in 1899.
Fifty-nine per cent of Utah's sold
originated in cyanide mills, and 20
per cent OF the silver came from lead
ores.
The notable fact in the whole state
meat is the gain in gold output, which
was 43 per cent over 1898
Taken as a whole, the table evidences
q most prosperous condition of affairs
in the producing mines of the state. To
operator and investor aSike it is an en-
couraging report.

Colonel Mann tells this story o. Rep

APOTHE osIs OF THE GRAFT.

There are signs that the gentlemen
who have their hands deepest in the
United States treasury foresee the day
soon to come when they will be GUST
ed from their pleasing occupation.
Chief among these signs is the dill
gence with which they pursue their
vocation of loot. They have the ur-
gent haste OF the burglar who hears
footsteps that boGe i'll for his comfort
and liberty. So pressing is the emer-
gency that they have almost forgotten
politics and the opportunities of cam
paign effect
An instance IN point was the passage
on Friday of a bill to reimburse Con-
federate soldiers for the horses and
other personal effects taken from them
in violation of Grants agreement with
Lee at Appamatox. This measure was
not only passed by the house of rep
resentatives, but it was taken up out

SENATOR CLARK'S CASE.

Whether Mr.. Clark retains his seat
in the United States Senate or not. it
is evident the country is to be given
a liberal dose of justice as it is taught
by Mr.. Hanna, Mr.. Plat. Mr.. Elkins
and the other Judicial lights VINO con-
troll affairs in the American house Of
lords. The dispatches say that the
senate committee on elections is deter
mined to proceed with its consideration
Of the Clark case, although the real
lawyers of the senate have already
said that Mr.. Clarlk's resignation dis
posed of that committees report and
left it without jurisdiction unless the
appointment by the lieutenant COVER
nor of Montana should be referred TO
the committee.
At the time of his resignation, Mr..
Clark was as much a member Of the
senate as any of the gentlemen who
compose the Chandler committee. He
had been sworn in. had voted against

The JAPANESE INVASION.

immigration Commissioner Powderly
makes the official statement that 4,427
Japanese laborers have entered the
United States in the hire months end
ing March 81. He says further there is
no adequate record Of those immi-
grants who come from over the Cara
dian bC der. Steamship reports would
indicate that at least 5000 or more Ash
atics have entered the country, most
of them to take the place of white men
on railroad and other construction
work The yellow men are docile, en-
ergetc and accustomed to work for
less and live on less than any white
man could exist on. They are better
than the Chinese coolies in that they
are less inclined to crime, they adapt
themselves to American ways more
readily and are more intelligent. But
their competition is just as disastrous
for the American worIlingman and its
certain economic is Just as deadly a
menace to labor in the west. Appar-
emily the federal officials are making
no effort to stop these inroads of
aliens. Protection to trust manufac-
turers is all right in their view, but
protection TO labor is a different mat
ter. So lons as the japanese furnish
cheap labor 10 the railroad corpora
tons which contribute literally to Re-
publican campaign funds. there will be
no hurry about stopping the japanese.
That some drastic measures will have
to be taken is evident, and it is
equally plain that nothing win be done
until there is a change of administra-
ton in Washington.

We have trod that road-and a wet and

Our chosen star for guide;
Oh, well for the world when the White
Men tread
It's highways side by side.
Now, this is the faith that the White
Men hold
When they build their homes afar:
Freedom for ourselves and freedom for
And, failing freedom, War"
We have proved our faith-bear witness

the gold bill, against the Porto Rico
tariff bill and his vote was counted.
When he resigned. it was his legal
privilege to do so. and Is left the Chan
dler committee without a subject for
consideration in his case. At the same
time, it gave the acting governor Of
Montana a perfect legal right to name
Mr.. Clark as his own successor.
The bubble of Mr.. Days governor,
Smith, that the resignation in form
was irregular because the date had
been changed or because it was not
presented on the date it was signed,
is a transparent excuse to delay the
seating Of Mr.. Clark. The resignation
might have been written on the day
Clark reached Washington and not
presented until the day before his term
expired and yet have been perfectly
regular in law. Mr.. Days governor
says the resignation and appointment
were tricks. Possibly SO; an outsider
is apt to consider the whole game of
politics in Montana a trick. with Mr..
Daily holding the dealers chair. But
that is beside the question: either the
Clark appointment is legal as the best
lawyers declare. or it is not legal. So
far, the odds are a long way in Mr..
Clark's favor.
Mr.. Smiths appointment of Maginnis
to succeed Clark is part Of the scheme
to befog the case. II MIR. Clark's Gre
dentials from the lieutenant governor

The amount appropriated, $500, COO. is

Similar measures have been before the
house repeatedly since the close of the
war without considerations Probably
there vas some merit in the PROPOSE
ton when first presented, but now the
benehciaries, the men really entitled
to the money, have nearly all passed
away and the lawyers and LOBBYISTS
who are pressing the claim will see
10 it that very little of the ap3ropria-
ton reaches the rightful heirs.
moreover, there is something susni-
cious about the silence of the profess
sional patriots who are wont to tear
the bloody shirt in tatters when such
an opportunity as this offers. Where
is the wrath of Grosvenor of the wide

nation Of all the men who would ordi-
naril1l have seized upon such an occa-
sion to picture the horrors of war, the
wickedness Of the great rebellion: the
iniquity of rewarding anybody who was
on the Confederate side at Appamatox
or elsewhere?
When such a chance for campaign
oratory is overlooked the Apotheosis of
