William Vifond, who discovered the
Vifond Mining district in Beaverhead
county, this state, Is back from pros
pecting trip through Arizona.
Mr. Vifond went into the southern
country last year and visited nearly
every mining district of Importance in
The territory. In February he left King
man, Mojave county, with a Texan, and
crossed the country, striking the Union
Pacific railroad at Green River Wyom-
1ng about three weeks ago.
The two men prospected the country
on route, drifting many miles east and
west of the direct course, but they struck
nothing which they thought would justi-
~ them in camping on the spot
While in Arizona, Mr.. VifOnd spent Il
few days in and around Bisbee, about
twenty-five miles from Tombstone. He
says the town contained about 5000 per-
sons: there is one mining company the
Copper Queen, working 1900 men, some
OF whom are Mexicans and some Yaqui
indians, The latter, he says. are better
workers than the MeXicans. The Copper
Queen. says Mr.. Vifond, is one of the
few good copper producers in the terri
tory.

Senator Tillman suggested that there

NEW RAILROAD A SUCCESS.

The traffic carried by the White
River Valley railroad has developed
beyond all expectations and has
been \ welcome surprise to the man
agemcnt. The running of trains ON
tine road was begun in the dead uf
the winter season and it was hardly
expected that the winter receipts
would pay running expenses, The
totaI receipts have averaged ABOUT
500 Il day, while it is cstimA,, d
that the running expenses can not
exceed SIS day,
Seven loaded cars were recently
pulled out of Rochester one aav and
siN loaded cars taken back. The
team traffic up the river has about
disappeared on account OF the low
rates Offered Nv the railroad. The
saving on n car Of coal recently
taken by rail to Rochester, was 81,
over what it would have cost hv
team.
he International Paper Com
p'ny expects to ship 100 cars of
snort pulp wood this spring from
Rochester. The passenger traffic,
which was expected to he almost MI
in the winter, has shown average
iecri pts OF about SIS per day. This
Will be largely Increased in the
future tor two reasons. The sum-
mer traffic is ALWAYS far in excess of
the winter and besides many would
be passengers have been hinhered
from taking the morning train from
Rochester to Bethel. as they desired
to connect with Tie morning north
bound accommodation. The road
has not ALWAYS been able To afford
this connection but with the comm.
OF spring and needed repairs ON
road done. It will have no trouble in
passengers on time to
take this train.

'Vermont'G Peculiar Death Penalty.

The case of Frank Shaw, who
has been condemned to death for the
murder of Deputy Sheriff Hoffman
of Windcor county, has aroused
more than ordinary interest, and the
execution of the sentence is crit,-
cised as fresh argument for the abo-
lition of capital punishment. There
is some justice in the criticism,
though one may not doubt that Shaw
deserves the full penalty of the
law pronounced by judge of the
Supreme court. He is to be hanged
after two wears confinement in the
State prison, the Vermont law re-
curing that session of the Legis-
lature must intervene between the
imposition of a death sentence and
its execution. The justification OF
this two years of miserable suspense
lies in the possibility OF Legislative
interference with the sentence Of the
condemned prisoner, and he NAV
bow rcsignedly the law which in
ilicts it. But the law goes further,
and here it seems to exceed the
bounds of common humanity, no
matter upon whom-whether man
of Shaw's nerve or one who thinks
more of his impending fatc-the cx-
IRENE penalty of the law is visited.
We quote from the Boston Tran
script:
''For one year and nine months
Shaw is permitted to Danish if he
can the one thought which must
constantly whirl through his brain
by aid of hand labor in the State
prison. But, as if to make sure that
he shall have sufficient leisure for
reflection Cor is it mayhap tor re-
pentahce? the court has decreed
that during the last three months of
his lite he shall be kept in solitary
confinement. Elsewhere the con-
demned murderer during the last
weeks is given all the liberty and
privileges consonant with preserv-
ing him for the official litc-taking.
Not so in Vermont. Two weeks of
solitary is terrible punishment for
man who sees years of liberty
close at hand. But Shaw will tor
three whole months he denied sight
of and communion with the world,
his friends and relatives-Why: \
voice from Vermont has already
answered, sin order that he ma,

civilized world would like a more
adequate reply"
