A Wonderful Mining Country.

L. c. Rittenhouse came down from
Battle Lake Friday and left for the
railroad, stopping just long enough to
get a square meal. He said: 81 am
going to Newport, stick my feet in salt
water and eat oysters until | cant see.
Oh, no, this isn'ta good mining coun-
try at all. just cast youreye on that"
and he showed the Sun scribe a to-
blcco pouch filed with twenty dollar
gold pieces I'm in the copper bus
mess, you understand. just formed
two million dollar companies, retain
ing forty per cent. of the stock and
sold nine ten foot holes for a 81 1000
each. How high is dot?' Then we
have a large number of claims that we
are ure are AL. tell you friend" and
he dealt us a slap on the shoulder that
would have jolted a COW, chats the
boss copper country on earth. Say.
Send us your paper. Here's the du-
cats. S'long till next spring." and he
swung his six feet three down the side
walk with IA happy, care-free stride
that did ones heart good to see.
Mr. Rittenhouse has been one of the
most persistent and untiagging pros
pectors that ever struck this country.
He has "A large amount of good hard
sense and a love for geology-as well
as an abiding faith therein-which has
helped him forward wonderfully in
his prospecting. And now he goes
forth to take little rest and reap some
of the reward due him for his years of
earnest toll. Wish we had a copper
mine.

The Starting of Forest Fires.

"From the turning of the leaves I'M
til the time when the snow falls" says
the Forester for September, there are
few days ON which "A spark dropped in
the woods may not begin a forest fire.
Throughout this season everyone who
takes "A vacation with pipe, camp kettle
and gun is "A distinct menace to the
welfare of the forest which he visits;
and the only return he can make for
the pleasure which Nature gives him is
to take all possible precaution against
the dangers which attend his presence.
This is the least he can do and is only
a duty imposed by decency. Nor is it
a difficult one, for the necessary pre-
cautions are few and simple. Among
the hundreds of sportsmen and camp
ers whoare air ,ady securing the woods
from the southern ~Appalachians to
northern Canady and across the region
of the Rockies, there is none to whom
they should prove burdensome."

A visit to the Syndicate, owned by
Judd, Hackett, Cunningham and
others, situated e the top of the Di-
vide, ON the western slope, promises to
be one of the important mines of the
Battle Lake country.
Hackett and Cunningham are at the
mine pushing development. They
have a shaft house 30x40 feet and use a
within odo their hosting. They are
down lob feet now and when they get,
down eight feet more they will com
mence to drift for the vein which they
expect to strike in about forty feet.
Work will be pushed all winter. They
are now laying in their winter sup
plies and before spring expect to be
ready to ship ore.
There is now a large quantity of low
grade ore on the dump hat would pay

mill or hauled "A short distance, but
will not pay to ship.
The Black Diamond, which is own

Grant Smith, is situated about so feet
from the Syndicate. The shaft is
down % feet, but they undoubtedly
have the same body of ore as hat of
the Syndicate, and the outlook is very
promising.
Mr.. Riskey. of the owners of the
Black Diamond, is "A pioneer and re-
sides at Dixon. He is a son-in-law
of the late Jim Baker, and can recall

TAYLOR AND THE coUETs.

Taylor. the u.urping Governor OF
Kentucky. after = week OF besita-
ton has concluded not to Fign the
agreement Of the Louisville con-
ference. but to keen Kentucky IN
a turmoil Of excitement and delay
the issue as long a. possible by cali
ing upon the courts TO decide the
gubernatorial succession.
He knows that eventually he will
be ousted from his present position,
which Is utterly untenable IN law
For when the question il presented
70 the court, the judges will be
forced to say that the decision OF the
Legislature in Goebe's favor Is a
matter over which they have no
jurisdiction.
Under the constitution of Ken
lucky the legislature is the tribunal
OF last resort on questions OF TINS
kind. 1t is a coordinate branch OF
the government, and is as supreme
within it's constitutional authority
as the Supreme Court OF Kentucky
itself. Whether its decisions are Just
or unjust, wise or unwise, is ques-
ton with which the courts have
nothing whatever to do; aud they
will unquest'onably so declare.
The only question which the court
could iuouire into would be " he ther
it was legally constituted legIsIa
tive body that declared in favor OF
Goebel. The Republican leaders
mnst have realized this when they
entered into the Louisville agree
ment to coDcede all the points IN
yolved in the controversy, ii the
Democrats would promise to repeal
the present election law. They
knew that in the end they could eX-
pect nothing from the courts. bat
they knew also that the Democrats
would promise them something fol
the sole purpose OF securing peace t'
the state. La other words, they had
this much to gain by agreeing to the
"protocol," and everything to lose
by refusing to accept its terms.
Tay lor, however, has refused t
carry out the negotiations bee
it will put him in better personal at
titude to be forced out OF office bl
the courts, than to surrender TN
office upon the demand of tn
Democratic leaders. Even in so i'm
pending a crisis as this, he is OF 81
small caIibre that he stoops to play
petty game of politics. La the eye
of bigger, broader men even In hl
own party, who view the question
from a patriotic standpoint, he i
simply infamous.

The devotion Of the Filipinos TO

pearance in the islands will pro-
baby not prevent him from being

THE new Hay-Pauncefote treaty
Is gem of diplomacy from a
British point of view. The United
States is to do all the work, pay all
the money, accept all the RESPONSE
bilitv, and then when war comes Is
to permit its enemies free use o. the
canal on equal terms with itself
Nay, more, it is not to fortify Its
property, and IS consequently to
leave it free tn seizure by any
supe: ior naval power with which 1t
may go to war. In other words, il
this government wars with Great
Britain or any other stronger naval
power, the canal may be seized and
used by that power and not by the
United States at all. And all these
things are conceded in order tc
secure the formal consent Of Greai
Britain to abrogate treaty which
she has already broken.

NEARLY four years have elapsed
since William Jennings Bryan made
his famous speech in the Chicago
convention and leaped into national
fame. Since that time heroes have
been made and worshipped, then
cast aside; and men who have stood
for a time with favor in the public
eve, have been discarded or forgot
ten. But Bryan to-day is as much
thought Of, as much talked Of, as
much beloved and respected as he
ever was. Without the prestige of
any official position to give him in
fiuence or power, he can command
larger audiences than even the
President himself. The world hon
ors and respects him; the pluto
Gratis and corporationists hate and
fear him; but the common people
hear him gladly.

"intentions" in regard to the guber-
Material and senatorial questions.
And then. Benton, if your "inten-
tions" and the intentions" of the
people don't harmonic, you are the

and in political circles generally the
impression prevails that his "inten-
ton" is to run for Governor.

THE CAMPAIGN OF 1900.

The Presidential campaign Of 1900
has already begun. The main j.
sues lave asrumed tangible shape
In advance of the conventions end
the formal adoption OF platforms by
the respective political parties, and
the voters Of the country are already
thinking earnestly Of the problems
of government to be settled at the
polls.
The campaign OF this year promises
10 be one Of the most memorable ia
the history Of this country. Events
create political issues. and great
events have transpired since the last
Presidential campaign which had
not even cast their shadow before
them at that time.
The war with Spain has brought
crisis in our history, and the yer.
dict of the election is to decide
whether this government will re-
main true to American principles,
or abandon them to run out after the
strange policies Of turbulent Europe.
While Imperialism at present
raises its naughty head higher than
the others, there are other evils
more insidious and none the less
dangerous. More dangerous than
any foreign foe is the octupus coil
of the trusts; more expensive than
any war Is the tax put upon the peo-
pie by combined capitol; more
blighting than restilence or fam
inc is the cruel oppression put upon
the country by that greatest of all
combines and trusts, the gold stand
ard combine.
The battle must be fierce indeed
when issues such as these figure in
the contest. The people are fast WAX
/ ing up to the dangers that confront
them; aud common danger max e.
common cause" so we may expect
a great rallying at the polls next
November when the patriotic people
of the United States will have their
opportunity to fight the evils and
the forces threatening their liberty
and the perpetuity of their govern
ment.

THE practical workings Of the
Criminal Court Of Maury county was
well demonstrated recently, when
Judge Looney tried negro twice
the same day for the same otfense
and under the same indictment. The
negro was charged with selling
whisky without license. In the first
trial the jury could not agree. The
Judge Immediately empanneled
another jury and tried the case over
again, the second jrry finding the
defendant guilty and assessing his
punishment at $50 and six months
on the county, roads. Under the
old system, the first jury disagreeing
the case would have gone over TO the
next term Of the Circuit Court, and
all these months the defendant
would have boarded in Jail at the eX.
pense of the county; while under the
new system be will spend that time
working the county roads for the
benefit of the people. IL is not only
saving to the tax payers, but bet
ter for the defendant as well, for the
delay would mean imprisonment tc
him, and the same punishment al
the end. The new system is a gooc
one, and Judge Looney's prompt
and practical enforcement of the
law is to be commended.
