MONTANA BILL WON'T DO.
Legislature Discovers That It Can't
Be Used In Kansas.

Montana law suffers a rude shock in
the estimation OF Kansas people, judged
by the anti-cattle-thief bill that was up
in. committee of the whole house yes
terday. Biddle, of Comanche, copied the
Montana statute, thinking it would be q
good thing for western Kansas cattle
men, The need Of the ranchmen for
some protection from cattle thieves is
recognized by the house but it Just
couldn't help having some fun with the
Montana statute. One provision is that
a butcher must keep at his residence and
show the hide that belonged to the meat
he sells It was ludicrous when applied
to cities and packing houses in the east
ern part Of the state, but in the west it
provides the only feasible method of
Identifying cattle and esta bIishing to
whom the slaughtered beef belongs. The
bill is to be revamped and passed as
giving the cattlemen some protection
where they now have none.

NO SALT TRUST.
Legislative Committee Says Freight
Rates Cause High Prices. ---

Rates Cause High Prices.
The subcommittee of the ways and
means committee composed of Senators
Henley, Kennedy and Noftzger made a
report yesterday on the resolution intro
duced by Senator Wright requiring that
a committee be appointed to investigate
the feasibility of establishing a state
salt plant at Hutchinson.
The report finds that the plan is not
feasible. 1t also finds that there is no
salt trust and that the reason of the in
creased price of salt is because the rail-
roads have. raised the rates The OBJ
lection to the boys at the reformatory
working in the plant is that they are
liable to escape and that it requires
skilled labor to work the plants: that it
would teach the boys trade which
would be va1ueless except in few places;
that the institution could not be made
to pay and that it would lessen the cost
Of salt to the consumer.

Graham Guardian: The Great East. ern group Of copper mines in the Lone
 Star district owned and being develop
 ed by the Horse Shoe Copper Mining company is one of the groups that
 promises to be a sure winner A douol compartment working shaft is being sunk on ledge that shows width of iron capping on the sur
 face of more than fifty feet, and can be traced where it cuts the whole country. The deeper the shaft goes the better are the indications for i'm mense deposits of copper ore below. This paper has always pinned it's faith to that district as having ore of immense wealth in copper. Ali lJ requires is to sink shaft on well detinej ledge to reasonable depth tO encounter ore bodies. This company proposes to sink the present shaft to a depth of at least 800 feet, making stations as the shaft goes down, be. fore crosscutting or drifting. If the experience of other camps in Arizona which have become mammoth pro. ducers, can be relied upon, the Horse Shoe company will have developed mine long before 800 foot depth has been reached The company has everything in shape for rapid and in- telligent mining.

Mr~T~o- Nnc w--

ETtSCUub OUuTieT. mC " uOi oS'' VI Cherry Creek, this county, called on the Courier yesterday. He reports a considerable force Of men at work on the old Mockingbird mine, aud a new boarding house going up on that prop erty. Mr. Nc Whorter and his sons own the Bloom, Galebud, Bellemont and Sisco claims in Cherry Creek dis trlct. and have done considerable de- velopment work on the properties, which are said to carry ledges from four to six feet wide; the ore assaYing from Sl0 to S35 gold. MT McWhorter says that when men of sufficient means to carry on deep mining take hold there, Cherry Creek district will come to the front as great gold pro- ducer.
 Tucson Post: Over in the Dos Ca- besas mountains in the Eastern DOT tion of Cochise county, the Pearl Gold Mining Go. have niue men at work, running a tunnel on their prop erty which is now in 1S0 feet The Bisbee Review says that the tunnel h as been in ore all the way which would pay handsomely to work on the ground In the tunnel the company in sinking winze on rich strike of ore forty-fiye feet long by twenty four inches wide and at depth Of 100 feet will run two drifts, to show the extent of this rich ore body The ore taken out in the prosecution of this work will be shipped to Pueblo as the smelters at El Paso are closed down. This shipping ore will run in the neighborhood of eighty ounces to the ton. Recently in Bisbee stock to the amount of 1000 in this com pany was sold in one day.
 Tucson Post: Thomas Carter was arrested this week and brought to Tucson charged with stealing rich ore from the workings of the Common wealth mine at Pearce where he was employed as miner His partner whose name was not learned was also arrested. Complaint was made by Superintendent Brockman who says that he traced the ore to the Tucson Sampling works in this city, fifteen sacks having been taken out altoge ther, valued it is estimated, at $l ,500 The men picked out o1ly the richest ore which they carried out in their dinner pails, pockets and shirts-fronts to their cabins. The ore was found at the sampling works awaiting the arrival of Charles Wores, the proprie- t or of the works who was out of the city. It was therefore recovered by MT. Brockman, but it is temporarily tied up to be used as evidence in the prosecution of the men.
 Prescott Courier: A steam hoist will soon be in operation on the old | Bullwhacker, mine now being opened | by the Clifford people. Supt Beall has force of men at work enlarging and cleaning out the old shaft. The old shaft was 14O feet deep. The new and enlarged shaft is now down 100 feet. It is stated that over s1O0,OOO in gold was taken from this mine. The property is located about three and one-half miles east of Pres colt. That the miners and prospect ors expect strike in the Bullwbacker is shown by the fact that the whole country round has been located since Supt. Beall started work. The Chl- nese ccok at the Bullwhaker has been putting in his spare time going over the old dump and beating up rock. As a result, he has a bottle full of as clean and pretty gold as was ever seen.

tributed for campaign purposes placed the

CLINTON 10 va, March ), The ease
here which has just been tried In the
district court, entitled Joseph Burke vs.
Charles Beeby, Martin Dolan and Michael
Hines and the Modern Woodmen of
America, developed some features of in
terest to members of fraternai societies.
1t was shown in the testimony that the
three men named above as defendants
handled the plaintiff roughly. causing
serious injury during an initiation into
the Woodmen lodge at Charlotte. In his
instruction 20 the jury the court held
that those who took part in the initiation
acted as agents OF the company.
The plaintiff stated that the defendants
who injured him did so while following
| the ritual, and as the Modern Woodmen
society would not introduce the ritual in
evidence there was nothing to rebut this
claim, consequently the instructions OF the
court were that the jury should con-
slider Beeby. Dolan ana Hines, as agents
of the society. Acting on these instruc-
lions the jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff, fixing the amount of damages
at $1,000 against the Woodmen society
but nothing against the individuals.
