A CLEAN INSTITUTION

Before the house committee on ap.
preparations DIR. Ross, the present SUI
perintendent. testified that it had COS,
him 81 900 to cover the tops OF the
walls with cement to keep the weather
from ~injuring the structure. Tue
statement was received with some in
credulity.
As to the present condition of the
institution one of the members of tn
investigating committee stated that as
far as he could judge it was first-clas:
and he gave 1t the credit for being the
cleanest and apparently the most or
derby institution OF the three visited
He could not say how good a super.
intendent DR.. Ross might be, but he
was sure Mrs. Ross, who gave the place
her personal supervision, was a very
superior person and a lady of consider
able executive ability.
1t was reported to the committee
that Mrs. Ross drew I'VE salaries from
the asylum, one of $40 a month as a
typewriter under the name OF Ms Sc
biakin Ross, and another of $40 a
month as a nurse, under the name OF
Hattie Ross, but the member in ques
ton said he did not care il the report
was true, except for the principal OF
the thing. as her services were worth
the $50 to the state.
On the contra side of this account, II
should be stated, Mrs. Meade drew $50
per month as a typewriter.

Of his sturdy honesty, which he failed
to hear. he nearly fell of his chair
when he was Informed that the con-
tract was one made by his own board
as late as January of the present year.
The testimony taken at the insane
hospital completely exonerated Or
Meade of the charge of having remov-
ed any quantity whatever of the furni-
ture belonging to the state. Even his
enemies admit this fact.
The indictment against him was re-
turned on the fiimsiest kind OF evi.
dence-on no evidence at all. The gov
ernor in his message stated that the
doctor had turned over to the state
when he left the asylum the sum OF
St5S in cash, which he presumed was
in part payment for the furniture tax
en-, and then he went on TO give tbs
people a homily on the sin Of a public
officer undertaking to sell the public's
property to himself.
in fact the turning over OF this cash
item was considered by the governor
to be pretty strong proof that the doc
tor was guilty as charged. The fact is
the. money turned over, was the pro
ceeds of rebates on mileage book;
bought with the states cash.
Mr.. tTaylor's only reason for believ-
ing that DR.. Meade stole the furniture
it is the part of charity to give tbs
gentleman credit for believing what
he wrutetto the. detriment Of another
mans character-was that he did not
find all the furniture in the hospital on
the occasion of his second visit that
was there upon the occasion of his first

BROWNS EXTRA CHARGES.

I Another thing shown is that Com
missioner Fred Brown of Deadwood,
ION two different occasions, drew dou-
bic pay from the state for attending a
meeting OF the board-having charged
the state the usual amount as a MEM
Der OF the board and an additional sum
OF 500 for acting as an attendant in
bringing over an insane person.
This Mr.. Brown did twice, pocketing
all the money. He even did Il a third
time, but upon the last occasion eth sr
his conscience or the conscience OF
some fellow member rebelled and the
insane fee was donated TO the library
fund.
George w. K~ingsbury, secretary OF
the board, swore before the committee
that he was not conyersant with the
books of the institutions in which the
cash fund accounts were kept, and as a
imatter Of fact the books of the board
itself have not been posted for some
thing like six months.
Another illustration of the manner
i'm which the parties in power have ruu
things for their own advantage in the
matter OF contracts and supplies is
found in the testimony taken at the in.
sane hospital, where the steward, Mr.
,Nissen, supplies the institution with
farEa machinery purchased from his
own company.
Governor Lee himself, who poses as
a rival for Royal baking powder in the
matter OF absolute purity, found he
made a mistake in calling attention tc
the comparative cleanliness OF the Re.
publican pot and the Populist kettle.
At the asylum a bid for supplying
the institution with groceries was pro,
duced.

RECEIvED ANoTHER suoCK.

Ex-Governor Lees self-righteousnes
received another shock when The com.
mittee reached the charge hat cigars
had been bought for the asylum Off
GERS from the public purse. He trem-
bled with indignation when ii was ad-
mitted by DR.. Meade that an employ
had stolen two boxes OF cigars under
such circumstances, which was proba,
bly, a low estimate, and his eyes scin-
tillated scorn, as they flashed upon III
Republicans present.
To do him justice he really appear
ed shocked when it was established
that under the administration Of DR.
Ross the purchase of fine cigars at the
cost OF the state, has been a common
occurrence.
The system of bookkeeping at tn:
penitentiary was found TO be prac-
tically the same as under former man.
agements, except that the hide" fund
had been discontinued and is now car.
ried into the merchandise fund. Ii
is also claimed that the practice OF
purchasing cigars for the board has
been stopped, and no evidence wa,
found to the contrary.

so much has heen heard, was not de,

ent warden and his subordinates are
drawing salaries at the increased rate
This Increase was granted by the
board of charities. upon motion of a
fusion member, Commissioner Kings

the entire subject.
IL there was culpability. ii lies at the
door of the board, as few people ex-
cept the governor are sufficiently
righteous to refuse an increase in pay
when the same is rendered by the

AN IDOL

WHY Because his great and good
friend, Public Examiner Taylor, had
given him a tip that the Plankinton
bank was not trustworthy-that ii had
trouble about collections. After this
friendly warning Mr.. Tompkins kept
his own money in Mitchell and only
the money OF the state in the Bank OF
Plankipton. The true inwardness of
this incident, when ii is considered in
its various bearings, will shock the
state from Dan to Beersheba.
If the people have had implicit con-
fidence in any n man of the present
day that man is Maris Taylor, public
examiner, and well they might have.
Mr.. Taylor has been a notorious thief
taker. He has earned for himself the
reputation of having a nose that can
scent corruption as a vultnre scents
carrion. During his four years as pub
lie examiner he has attacked more rep
utations, and by so doing naturally
arrogated more virtue to himself than
any other man since the days of ancient
Rome.
He knew the Bank Of Plankinton, a
state bank and under his immediate
supervision, was unsafe, but never a
word breathed he except to his irony,
ohu thCh hOt III Tic pul pOSe Vi SOuuQ-
ing a warning in the interest of the
state but in his own interest. Not a
word did he speak to the many persons
who lost heavily in the rotten concern,
but he permitted it to run as it pleased
until it had milked dry the coniding
people of the vicinity and it's chief had
time to make good his escape.
The SCATTERING of this idol will be a
/ severe hlOw II will la nanv nopp1a
believe that not even one truly honest
man is left to them to pattern after.
The testimony in its entirety will
make about two thousand typewriter
pages. The committee is already at
work on its report and ii is believed
the findings will be given to the pub
lie before adjournment of the session.
When this is lone readers of the fore
going statement will find ii is a pretty
true representation of all the facts.

IN THE BRADSHAWS
The Mining Industry in the Vicinity
 of Crown King.

There is great mineral zone five through the Bradshaws, says a core spondent of the Journal Miner. The old Gro Bella mill and mines are at the south end of the belt. The most prom ising mine in that group is the Gray Eagle, now under bond to Rube Har- ringtCn, a well defined Assure vein car rying gold. MT Harrington has. been shipping his first class ore which runs $250 per ton. The second class is packed to the Tiger mill and concen- trated about three tons into one. He is repairing the old Orc Bella mill so he can work the ore on the ground. The old company suspended work years ago because they could not make it pay. I cannot understand how a company abandoned work on such fine prop erty. It shows mismanagement some way.
 On the same vein one mile north is the Eclipse. better known as the Luke mines. Although on the same vein as the Gray Eagle. the values are mostly silver It was worked in former days by Luke & Co. They shipped their gre to t1e Fl Paso shelter. That is one of the great Assure veins of the Bra l. shaws, in a schist formation. although it is close to the granite on the cast. EcI ween the two formations ;fe con tact is granite, feldspar and mica, .n fact the mica in places lays in large

J. r. Marian left last night for the Lime Geek Copper company's prop ,rty. for the purpose of putting the liJt.e smelter in order, preparatory to starting up for regular work about November 1st. The smelter has a ca racity of between five and ten tons, and as soon as the new road to the emp is finished the thirty-ton smelter erected in Phoenix a few months age will be moved onto the property.
 A wagonload of supplies also left last evening for the camp. In -act. sais wagon runs back and forth regularly ROW carrying supplies. The new road now being constructed, will be of great benefit not only to the Lime Creek company. but win make the Cllm mountain mines more accessible. and will pass within two miles Of the Red Rover and other promising prop ertis in that region. About eighteen men are now employed by the Lime creek company, and at times they have worked as many as thirty men. Their monthly pay roll is in the ueighborhood of S3.O00. They have q good quantity of ore on the dump. sufficient at least to keep the small sme.ter going. though the greater part uf the work previously done has been h the nature of development through dead ground in order to make the proper openings for working purposes. They now have winze in the first opening that sinks to the depth of 200 feet bslow the surface of the ground. and are engaged in sinking in

Newly Discovered Gold Ledge Ten
 Miles South of Phoenix.

George McClarty returned yesterday from visit to the lately discovered Tip Top mine, about ten miles south of town. MT McClarty says there are bigger prospects in the world. but that one is big enough for him. He never before saw so much extremely rich ore together. The mine was accidentally discovered by John Creath who hal been working on the Gold Coin. One day in crossing the top of the noun tain, coming in this direction, he stum- bled upon the ledge. He has located six claims on it, in one of which only Ea5 he a partner. The top of the noun tain is covered by a cap of porphyry. The ledge is about eighteen inches wide; the ore is q sort of decomposel iron. all of it wonderfully rich. Creatf, has not manifested enough curiosity to have an assay made yet. He is not do- ing any development work.

Cioini; through the gap on the traction road. Fred Ciolden's camp. the Mallory group. the Mccoy group and the Big Johnny are plainly in view. Fred Golden has a cluster of claims on the right of the road and a few fractions for full meas ure. His principal work has been done at the Philippine. the black dump of which looms up just above his camp. He has done extensive developing woriS on this property and made several shipments out of the high grade ore taken out in the progress of develop ment. He has tunnel 1J0 feet in length from which nearly 100 feet of drifts are completed along with about the same amount of winzes. At ii5 feet on the tunnel he has a fifty foot drlft 10 the rlSnt shOWlnS ioOt or me shipping ore nearly the whole length. At 135 feet from the entrance of the tunnel he has thirty foot winze the bottom of which has broken into the same ledge. showing it to he nearly three feet in thickness. Fred will drop down the hill and run a 300 foot tunnel then raise and connect with the wiiiZsa. When this is completed if we are not badly surprised he will have a merit -orious property splendidly developed
 Another promising property is the Future Copper, bonded by Fred from the administrator of Louis Robinson, deceased. for s1. 800 A tunnel 300 feet long has been run on this property and at last accounts every indication en- coura ged the boys to believe that the. were just breaking into the ledge.

He is just taking out ore. He Is throwing it on big canvas. which glistens with specks of gold in the dust into which the rock crumbles when it Is thrown down. One can horn any thing taken from that eighteen inch ledge Creath does not want to sell any part of his interest in that noun tain. He is not worrying about the extent of the ore body. and he is in no rush about putting in mill. He can get rich with an arrastra or he can make a big salary with mortar and a pan and all the time retain q control- ling interest in the mine. The property Is about a half mile west of Telegraph Pass. It is difficult of access and it is hard to get the ore down, but that kind of ore is worth all the trouble one can take with it. Mir. McClarty says he can form no idea of the value of the ore. but it is so rich and there is so much Of it that he believes Creath's . discovery will soon be looked upon as one of the biggest strikes in the terri tory in recent years.

 But it is not generally known that the tablets are just as good ami whole some for little folks as for their elders. Little children who are pale, thin and have no appetite. or do rot grew or thrive, should use the tablets after eating and will derive great benefit from them.
 Mrs. c. H. Crotsley, 53s Washington St. Hoboken. New Jersey. writes. "Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets just fill the bill for children as well as for older folks. I've had the best of luck with them. My ee-year-old girl takes them readily as candy. I have only to say tablets and she drops every thing else and runs for them.''
 A Buffalo mother, a short time ago. who despaired of the life of her babe. was so delighted with the results from giving the child these tablets that she went before the notary public of Eiie County. N. Y, and made the following affidavit:
 Gentlemen:-Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets were recommended to me for my two-months-old baby, which was sick and puny and the doctors said was suf- fering from indigestion. I took the child to the hospital but there found nc relief. A friend mentioned the Stu art Tablets and l procured a box from my druggist and used only the large sweet loZenges in the box and was de- lighted to find they were just the thing for my baby. I feel justified in saying that Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets saved my child's life.

 For babies. no matter how young or delicate, the tablets will accomplish wonders in increasing flesh, appetite and growth. Use only the large, sweet tablets in every box. Full sized boxes are sold by all druggists for 90 cents, and no parent should neglect the use of this safe remedy for all stomach and bowel troubles if the child is ail;ng in any way regarding its food or assim- ilation
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been known for years the best prepara- ton for all stomach troubles whether in adults or infants.
