"REMINISCENCES OF DIR. BUR
LEIGH.

Col, Arthur Linn, a former resident
of Bismarck, late commandment OF the
South Dakota soldiers home, in the
current issue of the 'Dakotan,' has
some interesting "reminiscences OF Dr.
W. A. Burleigh, after whom Burleigh
county was named. Linn suggests
that Burleigh. as much as any, pioneer
of South Dakota is entitled to a place
in the hall of fame. In connection
with this suggestion he recalls an in
terestfng incident Of Burleigh's career
when a delegate from the territory in
congress as follows:
1t. was during the closing days OF
the memorable administration OF Pres
ident Andrew johnson that DR.. Bur
leigh saved Dakota Territory from be
ing wiped off the map, and few of the
present residents of the state know
anything about 1t, and it may not go
amiss to go into a little ancient his
tory in connection Herewith.
sfBurleigh was a t~ireless worker, a
born politician, and never went after
anything for the territory or for the
benefit of the people he did not get.
President johnson and president on
the senate, Ben Wade, were his warm
friends. 1t was during n OF Bur-
leigh's famous fights to secure appro-
priations for the territory that he in

There were only a few thousand white

Congressman Bradley decided tx

territories, was powerful in his posi-

AN ANECDOTE OF JUD LAMOURE.
Doane Robinson's "Dakotan,' a mag
azine of Dakota history, has the fol-
lowing: ~ ii T..
The following story of the youthful
days of the Pembina statesman is true
for hetold it to me himself. When
the Indian OF 1862 was terrify-
ing the settlers and driving them
flocking from the territory, Mr.. La
Moure, then residing at Elk Point,
bethought him of a pretty, brown-eyed
maiden who had charmed him with
the witchery of her smile and was re-
siding at Yankton, presumably in dire
peril. Therefore while the settlers
were fleeing downward for safety, the
love-lorn youth saddled a cayuse and
started up the river. Every mile he
met stern-faced men and weeping
women who warned him to turn back,
assuring him that the savages, red
handed and relentless, were ihotfooting
down the trail and that he was tempt
ing fate to go a foot farther. But
Jud Thought Of his unprotected sweet
heart and pressed on, and to his as
constituent reached Yankton at sum
set with his scalp intact. The set
tiers were f%everishly busy, building
the stockade, and thither he went TO
win the reward due his heroic action,
only to find the :" Joy of his heart,
clinging to the arms of her husband OF
a week.

Americans are investing in Mex
lean mines at the rate of millions
of dollars annually. The fact that
a romance surrounds mine in the
land of the Montezumas is the one
necessary qualification and to find
a ready sale the owner has but to
state that century or so ago the
mine was worked by the padres OF
aztecs and produced millions in
gold and silver, and that in the
hight of its production the Indians
attacked the mines, slaughtered the
people and covered up all traces of
the great work carried on there
These stories have sold more mines
in that country than did the evi-
dences Of values in the ores. Many
of the old mines are filled with wa.
ter, but on the mere statement that
it was long lost mine that the
Spanish record stated had produced
millions of dollars, it was at once
purchased, big cash payments be-
ing made before an examination
could be made Romance is a
great thiny in selling mines.

Last Wednesday the carriage con
tanning the President, Secretary Cor.
telyou, the governor of Massachusetts,
and private detective, was run into
by an electric car, short distance
from Pittsfield, Mass. The carriage
was overturned and the president and
his two friends tum bled to the ground
in heap. The detective was thrown
beneath the wheels of the electric car
and was instantly killed. The whole
party had very narrow escape from
death. Secretary Cortelyou was un-
conscious when picked up, but soon
revived. The president was badly
shaken up and was cut on the face
and head. Massachusetts, governor
WAS badly shaken mp and bruised on
the head and body. The driver was
seriously if not fatally injured. The
accident was due to the carelessness OF
the moterman on the electric car, who
was driving along at an unusually high
rate of speed.

courtesy was refused, at which his
"ratship" became greatly incensed
Af;er making the awful threat
against the treasurer that he would
see to it that he never would hold

Later he met Mr. McNeely in one
of the public places of the town
and again poured forth his venom
ard abuse until he was reminded
that he might find himself up
against something that looked like
Jeffries, right persuader, at which
he desisted. The matter caused
considera ble talk in the town at
the time in which Sheriff Lovin
took some part as friend of Treas
urer McNeely. His remarks at
the time came to the ear of the
rat" editor and he blossomed out
as the secret enemy of the Sheriff
For similar reason he is the enc
my of District Attorney Dickson
Because Mr.. Dickson would not
allow him 10 attend to his private
correspondence and consult him on
legal matters the rat" editor at
once sought his scalp He loudly
brays about his democracy, but
those who know him best know that
it is sized up by the dollars and
cents that may be in it. When the
returns from the late democratic
primaries came in and IL was
thought that he and others of the
push were among the slaughtered
lambs he called a meeting Of the
faithful and ways and means were
devised for the contesting of the
election, but when he found that
the latter returns we're in his and Boss
Mikes favor he counseled the others
to let the matter drop so that the party
might not be disr upted. The past few
issues OF the 'rat" sheet have been
given over to exhibitions of venom
and abuse by this shallow-psted "rat"
editor, but it will avail him nothing.
He will be bedraggled looking subject
when the puOlic have dropped him
and Boss Mike from the public pay
rolls.

The people Of this county in gen

of the hostility of the "rat" editor
and his ''rat" sheet TO the candi-

which it is not amiss to yive at this
time: Last winter county warrants
were commanding about IS cents
on the dollar in the market, but the

had supported Treasurer McNeely,
the county treasury ought to be

them have promising property to

of prospects in the county that a

be had at low figure Develop

white labor 10 the w'reing Of mines,

do more and better work for the

from Mexico under contract and

railroads of the territory, We have
a law against the importation of
this class of labor and it should be
enforced.

The San Francisco Examiner de-
fines its position as between the
democratic party of California and
the wage earners that in the event
of the nomination of candidates un-
favorable TO the workingman's in
terests it will be found supporting
the nominee Of the unions for state
and county Off GERS. Certain can
didates are being pressed forward
for governor of the state who are
opposed to the demands of labor
and these candidates will be OPP
posed in every way in the forth
coming election. 1t would appear
that the unions were desirous OF
putting a ticket in the field in the
Golden state, but its election is
doubtful, although the organic d
laborers of the state are all power
full. The entrance of secret orders
in politics is to be deplored and
there is no doubt Of the pernicious
effect it will have in future. In
treating with a political body it
will be found widely different than
treating with body of organized
toilers, and it will be found that
they will command less considera-
ton. Among many people labor
organization is considered one Of
the highest outgrowths of our mod
ern Civilization, but to them a po
litical body with its ward heeler
attachments fills them with loath
ing and disgust. Better for the
laboring union man to put up with
the political ills we may have than
to rush his organization into sure
disorgani2ation and defeat Moth.
ing in the world operates to break

Arizona has more miles of rail

than any state or territory in the
Union The lines are all to be
connected with main transconti-
mental lines and some of them are
to go through to tidewater. The
line that is projected from Cochise,
on the Southern Pacific railroad to
Cananea, will 60 on to the Gulf of
California, somewhere below Quay
mas, while another will pass through
Yuma, thence to San Diego. The

old Mineral Belt road is being re-
vived and it is believed that it will
soon be constructed. The fact that
the Grand Canyon forest reserve
cuts off the big timbered forest
from the mills at Williams and

line a necessity. 1t will connect
with the Gila Valley, Globe and
Northern. Other lines are now un-

Mines ON Mountain Tops.


Nothing In engineering Is more r0-
mantle or curious than the fashion III
which the ordinary conception Of q
mine as an opening penetrating far be-
low the ordinary level is reversed
where inducements offer to climb high
above the earth's surface before pierre
ing into 1t.
There is. for instance, the Eureka
gold mine, probably the highest in the
world, situated 14,0OO feet up in the
Andes range not far from the city Of
Jujuy. in Argentina. So high is this
mine that it Is only worked with great
difficulty owing to the "mountain sick
ness and to similar troubles to which
workers at this immense altitude, al
most three miles in the air, are sub
ject.
Near Chocaya, In Bolivia, there Is the
yeta del Cuadro mine, where silver ore
Is extracted 1860 feet above sea level,
while the same metal Is wrought near
Peopo, in the Cordilleras, 12.400 feet
above tide water. The produce from
all these Is carried on mule back over
tremendous mountain paths to points
where it can be placed on rail or be
concentrated into more portable form
for further transit by wagon to the
