ECONOMY OR ExTRAvAGANCE,

The taxpayers of South Dakota have
had severe lesson. Republican ad-
ministrations piled up an enormous
debt and raised the tax levy to the con-
stitutional limit. Lee was elected gov
ernor and fusion legislature made the
laws and passed the appropriations in
1897.
Result:
Appropriations for which the fusion
lists we're responsible were about $780,
900 lower than those of the Republican
Legislature of 1895.
The state debt was reduced $3.50, 900.
The tax levy was reduced 25 per cent.
More than s., 500 was collected from
defaulting officials.
The insurance Office, which, under
Republican rule, has disgraced the
state, was cleaned out and wholesale
blackmail was stopped.
When the railroad commissioners
got out of funds the Argus-Leader de-
manded that the governor call an extra
session Of the legislature. The extra
session was not called, the money was
provided and the commissioners won
their suit in Judge Carland's court.
The cost Of an extra session was
saved.
When the First South Dakota regi-
ment was being modified, it was
again demanded that Governor Lee
call . special session. With the aid Of
b. 81. Lien, G. A. Jewett, the banks Of
Sioux Falls, Deadwood and Pierre,
Governor Lee raised the necessary
money, modified the regiment at much
less cost than regiments were mobil-
lied in other states. and saved the
expense Of IN extra session.
Immigration came to South Dakota
rapidly because taxes were reduced
and the state debt was being paid.
Lee was reelected in 1s9S But Re-
publican legislature was also elected.
Presto! change!
Lees Recommendation were ignored.
The appropriations were increased
$4a0. 600 over the appropriations made
by the legislature of 1897.
Taxes have increased.
Warrants ct 2 per cent are being reg
istered for lack of funds.
The only other alternative was
bond issue in large amount for long
time.

Some good Republican brother hath
said, doth say and is willing to affirm
that every farmer in the county is
going to vote for the trust robbing
party. Rather say, gentlemen, that
every farmer in the county wants to be
robbed, and in fact demands by his
ballot that he likes to be robbed, plum
dered, skinned, and in time rendered
homeless. Not one farmer in the Unit
ed States or laborer, or business man,
should vote for the robber trust party.
If they do, they vote to put cham
around their necks.

A Wheat Trust.

All the farmers of the world In sor
of international trust to restrict tn
production of wheat and raise prices
the plan which it is hoped to carry into
effect at the international conference
in Paris, July GIG.
1t Is proposed to ask the farmers OF
the world to reduce their wheat output
by 20 per cent and not sell bushel for
less than a dollar.
J. C. Hanley, Of st. Paul, executive
agent of the farmers alliance and In
dustrial union, the national growers
association, the farmers federation OF
the Mississippi valley and the national
grain growers association, Is the chief
promoter in tn agricultural trust IN
America. Prof. G. Rutland OF the
University of Freibourg, Switzerland,
is the chief promoter of the plan In
Europe.
The idea was conceived by these two
men independently. Mr.. Hanley, who
has been interested in many hold-your
wheat scheames, is prominently asso-
ciated with the Farmers elevators and
various cooperative undertakings. He
has long believed that If the farmers
would only come to an understanding
as to limiting production and agree to
sell only when their price could be OBJ
tanned they could easily master the
situation.

Arthur Brooks Shot.

Seattle, Wash, April l6.-Arthur R.
Brooks, cashier and treasurer of the Peo-
pies theater, run by John w. Considine,
was shot and seriously, though not fatally,
wounded Saturday by Jack Considine, a
bartender, whom he had discharged FRI
day night. Considine shot at Brooks three
times, two OF the bullets taking effect.
One of them entered at point under his
chin and came out at the back of his neck,
and the other went clean through his left
shoulder. The attending physician says
there is no doubt of his recovery.

The Corea Mines.

Corea seems a good way from here,
and 1t is, but we can ship ton of
freight from New York to our mines
near the Yaloo river as cheaply as the
same ton can be sent to the mountains
OF Idaho, and just about as quickly, too.
We have been interested in mining for
five years now on concession covering
1000 square miles. Our lease has rs
years to run. We have the right to
mine any mineral, but we have confined
our attention to gold alone. All of our
machinery is Of American manufacture
as this country makes the best ma
chinery for mining purposes in the
world
Corea Is picturesque, beautiful, fer

Industrious and agreeable people. At

5000 coolies. We are the pioneers there
and we had to overcome all the obsta-
cles in new and in most respects a

fields in Corea, as the country possesses
a continuation of the gold-bearing out.
crops of Siberia and Manchuria, both
of which are bound to be great gold
producers. The Coreans have been min
ing with crude methods for many cen.
turtles, and they are still at it.
There is an immense opening for en-.
terprise and capital there, which will
undoubtedly be supplied as soon as it
is understood that the United States
government will protect its citizens in
all legitimate foreign enterprises. The
orientals are kindly disposed towards
Americans for many reasons, but chief
ly because they recognize that Ameri-
cans are not seeking political empire,
and they feel that from them they can
receive the most desirable assistance in
industrial and commercial improve
ment.
The enterprises which are now start
ing over there are bewildering, but 1t
Is hardly poor mans country. The
opportunity is favorable for associated
capital in large amounts skillfully d.
1ected, but not for individuals.

MINING NOTES.

George COnnors, superintendent of
the Hiyu mine at Florence, Idaho, re-
ports that the snow is going off rapidly.
This will give better opportunity for
earlier development work in the wet
claims than there has been for years.
Preparations are beng made to open
the Hiyu as early as practicable.
It Is quite probable that the Banner
mine will resume operations this sum-
mer.
The Humming Bird Mining Company
of Burke, Idaho, has four men at work
on a new tunnel, which starts from the
Tiger side, running northwest. The
ledge is covered where it comes down
the mountain side on the east toward
Canyon creek, but it is expected that
the new tunnel will cut it in from $50
to 200 feet.
Encouraging news comes from the
Last Chance Group to be tapped by
tunnel from Government gulch.
In the Palmer Mountain tunnel the
foot wall of the goth we'll defined vein
has been encountered. Lying next the
wall is foot Of white quartz mineral
lied all through, and showing free gold.
The next six feet, which is up to the
face of the tunnel, is all ledge matter,
thoroughly mixed with white quartz,
while the face is full of quartz seams
and mineralized ledge matter. This
has the appearance of being one of the
richest lodges cut into. The wall was
cut at 1888 feet in and 1900 vertical
depth. Assays are not yet out, but
there is sufficient free gold visible to
assure its high value.
The tunnel has reached a territory
in which the surface showings are the
best on the mountain, with one excep-
ton, the Grand Summit The Helena
Belle should be cut in the next 200 to
400 feet. The driving Of the tunnel
through this distance, and the cutting
of the Helena Belle vein will be watch
ed with much interest, not only by the
tunnel people, but by every one inter-
ested in Palmer Mountain properties.

REPUBLIC.

The record of development work for
March in Republic camp was even less
than in the month of February, which
was the lowest for the entire previous
year.
The Mountain Lion resumed work on
the drifts last month and some stopping
was done.
Four hundred feet Of drilling was
done on the Spotted Horse last month
and 1t Is probable that more than dou-
BILE that amount will be run the present
month.
The Knob Hill drift was extended so
feet during March. The total amount
Of development on the mine consisting
of shaft, tunnel and drift, is about 800
feet.
The Golden Harvest had good

There was IS feet of drift and cross.
cut run on the San Poll during the
month.
One shift drove IS feet of drift on
the Morning Glory in the month.
The Lone Pine took second place in
development last month. The total
number of feet run was 100. This was
divided as follows: East drift, 65 feet
west drift, 30 feet; adit tunnel, IS feet.
The tunnel on the Rebate was driven
a distance of IS feet during March.
The accompaniment shaft on the
Silver Dollar was sunk 80 feet.
There was but Is feet of development
work on the Insurgent mine last month.
A total Of 60 feet was run last month
on the Ben Hur. This work was done
on the 240-foot level.
There were but few days work done
in the way Of developing the Republic
last month. The situation of the mine
was such that to have operated it would
have been at positive loss to the COM
pany.
The Quilp beat the Lone Pine by a

development.
There was but Is feet of development
on the North Star last month.
Everything at the Mountain Lion mill

Thomas Stacey, from the Ignace mine
on the west fork of the San Poll, says
that the accompaniment working
shaft is down about SO feet. It is be-
ing sunk directly on the ledge, cross
wise of 1t, and so far no walls have

Returns have just been received by
the Zala Consolidated company from a
small shipment of slightly less than IA
tons of ore recently sent to the Trail

$144.05 to the ton. The net return to
the company was $1SOS.03, after de-
Quoting the smelter charges.
