The constitutionality of the Puerto
Rican bill, imposing q duty of 10 per
cent on all imports from that island
into the United States, is to be test
ell in the Supreme Court of the
United States. W. r. Hearst, the
enterprising Publisher Of the San
Francisco Examiner, has taken up
the Ease in defense of the impover-
ished inhabitants OF that island and
at his own expense proposes to see
by what right McKinley's admins
tration assumes to discriminate
against one portion Of the country
for the benefit of q few wealthy
monopolists in another and more
favored locality. Too much credit
can not be given to Mr.. Hearst for
his patriotic and humane efforts in
behalf of Porto Rico and in defense
of American principles. He has re-
tanned Ex-Governor David B. Hill Of
New York to prosecute the case and
he will be assisted by two other
prominent lawyers.

Chea Enough.

Elko's smallpox case is now a thing
of the past. The nurse left the pest
house Saturday evening and took the
train for home. Before leaving the
pesthouse he thoroughly fumigated the
place and burnt all the old clothing
and other property Of but little value.
The pesthouse is now vacant and will
remain so until another case of small
pox comes along. The expense Of
taking care of Leweilen will reach the
ne~ighborhood of $500. This includes
building and furnishing the pesthouse,
provisions for Lewellen and nurse, a
suit Of clothes for each and the amount
paid the nurse. This sum is %trifiing
compared to what it would have cost

ed, located four miles east OF Oak Station
on the Z. & P. Railroad. These mines
are the Lost, owned by Crombie & Had
dow; and the Willow Creek, located by
Crombie, Hsddow, Csrlesti & Bsrtins.
These are adjoining properties and cop
per can be traced across them for q
distance Of 2240 feet.
The development work already done
on these properties consists Of two open
cuts and two shafts, the latter having
only been sunk . short distance. but the
assays of ore show . heavy percentage
Of copper, besides some silver and q
small amount Of gold. The ledge in the
present workings is ~forty-eighs feet
wide, and the mine gives every indica-
ton Of developing into . heavy produc-
err.
There are six other prospects located
in the same district, and the fact thai
the whole territory is well mineralized il
shown by the fact that copper can be
traced for . distance Of six or eight
miles.
The Lost and Willow Creek mines
have been inspected lately by seversI
mining men, and the owners have re-
ceived . very fattering offer for theil
prospects from the Edison Company,
This company offers to bond the pros
pects for six months and put twenty
men at work ct once in their develop
ment, ell ore to be left ON the
dump until the terms Of the bond ere
fulfilled, and if the developments justi6es
present promises. to take the mines at
good figure.
The properties are very fsvorsbly
located. being only W. and a half miles
from water, and there is an abundance
Of wood in the vicinity. Thus, il the
mines prove valuable the putting in oil
. plant would not only be feasible but
profitable.
Copper was frst discovered in that
vicinity early in 1871, but it's low price
ct that time prevented anything being
done in the way Of development. Silver
properties in the same neighborhood
sold at fancy prices, while copper pros
tects could not be given away. Now,
however, the situation is reversed. Mr..
Crombie says there are from 10000 to
20, 900 tons of tsilings ct Mineral Hill,
all very rich in silver. that can not be
touched On recount Of the low price Of
| Of the white metal.
Six men are now employed in the
Republic, Live Yankee and Flynn mines
at Mineral Hill, and the coming season
| promises to be an unusua lily prosperou;

Pretoria has fallen, and the people Of
London have again gone into Mysteries
over feat that any army Of The over
whelmlng numbers commanded by Lord
Roberts could have accomplished. The
defense of Mafeklng by Colonel Baden
Powell, and the stubborn endurance Of
the garrison was something to rejoice
over but We do not see that the arms
OF Great Britain have any particular
reason for acclaim in subduinE such a
small power as the Boer republic. On
the contrary the British soldier must
admit that man for man the Boer war
rior excels him in many things he has
long boosted Of superiority.
The flight OF President Kruger was
but the beginning of the end, and we do
not see what he Is going to accomplish
by continuing operations. The BOer
ENJOYS in this country would have us
believe that the capture of Pretoria is
meaningless so far as the end OF the
conflict is concerned; that the Trans
yaaI republic will exist so long as Kru-
gers ox-cart capital remains on wheels.
This is a very pretty belief, but we do
not imagine that Kruger can maintain
any semblance OF power through such a
precarious method OF administering
governmental affairs. The more inter-
est!nE question at the present time will
be the attitude OF Great Britain to-
wards her PROSTATE foe. II she is lib
eral and generous in her terms much of
the bitter feeling she has engendered
will be softened. Drastic masures. ON
the other hand, will increase the venom
of her enemies, and those who sympa-
thize with the unfortunate BOefs.
