fHR MITCHELL CAPITAL.
FRIDAY. DECEMBER II. 1902.

A couple of weeks ago John Nipple.
in the State Register. published at
Pierre, had the capital removal
question absolutely settied-it could
not and would not be moved from
Pierre-it would be absolutely i'm
possible for the remoyalists to secure
recognition through the legislature
and that was the end of the whole
propOsition-the removaliSts might
as well wind up their ball of yarn
and 90 way back and sit down.
That vas two weeks ago. The last
issue Of John Nipples private adj
vertising medium awakened to the
fact that there was a capital fight On
that required more attention than
mere denial that it was possible to
move the capital. From n column
that was occupied to show that it
was impossible to remove the capital
from Pierre Mr.. Nipple at this time
devoted three pages Of his paper to
spread before the people the
imaginations Of his brain. Nipple
wants to make it appear that the
removalists. by their possible success.
will set every other town in the
state on edge to secure one Of the
state institutions. That is, efforts
will be made, say, to remoye the
state university from Vermillion. the
normal school from Springfield, or
the feeble minded institute from
Redfeld. 1t would seem that this
was about the only argument that
Pierre people have left for the
retention Of the capital. This
nonsense is promulgated in the
hope that the counties in which
state institutions are located will be-
come alarmed on the matter Of cap
ital removal and fly from the support
Of the proposition. Hippie's reason
ing in this extended symposium is
something remarkable. He coDjures
up conditions which are entirely
imaginative and by publishing them
gives them currency as possible facts,
One can truthfully say that nothing
is impossible. but at the same time
to give color to some proposition that
is wholly improbable is not putting
the cas honestly before the people.
By trying to distort a wholly improb-
able matter into a semi-truth is not
dealing justly with the removal
question. The remoyalists will not
have the slightest interest in the re-
moyal Of any institution Of the state.
and we do not believe that any
county which has a state Institution
will take the least cogniZance Of this
weak statement. The towns that
are interested in the capital removal
are making a sincere and honest
effort to remove the capital from
Pierre to a more central location. and
there is not the slightest relation to
moving state Institutions in the pro-
positions. 1t makes very little differ
ence how far a few hundred students
have to travel to reach any one of
them, inasmuch as a good many
students travel to the far east to at
tend educational institutions, but
the great majority Of people Of the
state are entitled to have the capital
at a point that is accessible and
closer to the population Of the COM
monWealth.

Big Copper Times Are Low Grade.

A Michigan press correspondent, who writes instructively on mining affairs, calls attention to the fact that the big copper mines of the world are, with one exception, properties working low grade disseminated sulphide ores or native copper disseminated through ig- neous or sedimentary rocks, as in this district. The Anaconda mine shipped 60 per cent ore in its first cargo, but is now averaging about 3 per cent. The oxide and carbonate ores found at and near the surface in many copper ore districts may be compared to cream that has risen to the top. Below them is the skim milk, just as surely as the cream that rises to the top of milk pan in Q dairy is on the surface only.
 The worlds big copper mines are growing lower in grade, with the ex- ception of the Boston X Montana mine of tbe Amalgamated company, which maintains its wonderful values, and is possibly the most profitable copper mine of the world at the present time
 The great Rio Tinto mine, of Spain, from which the Romans mined millions of tons of ore, thousand years after It was opened by the Carthageniaus, has disseminated ore averaging one and a quarter per cent. in its bottom levels, 900 feet below surface. Copper mines frequently improve at medium

Wealth From Mining.

From land, or from nature, all our wealth is obtained by labor, and that particular source which We indicate when we speak of mining enterprise forms one of the most remarkable chap ters in the history of modern industrial development. The mining enterprises of this country furnish au amount oi wealth annually which cannot be con ceived of adequately in the mind, and requires ten figures to express it. In 1901 the mines of the United States pro duced wealth valued at Sl ,027, ,0O0, 900 This is about 65 per cent of the total wealth of the nation, and gives prom ise of increasing year by year During the last three years of the last century the mineral output was increased by 1869, 7S4, SGT. The amount of the au- nual mineral product has about doub- led in value since 1887.
 It has required considerably more than a century to accumulate the vast amoant of wealth which this nation pos sesses today, but, as contemporary points out, we could produce all this great wealth from our mines alone iu about seventy years. If every farm were burned up, every railroad de- stroyed, every mauufaotory wiped out of existence, every vessel lost at sea, and our present wealth in all its forms annihilated, our mineral output at the present rate would be sufficient to re- produce it all again iu seventy years.
 So abundant is the wealth stored up in the magazine of nature, from which we are drawing every year such euor- nous amounts, that we have yet prac tically made no impression on 1t, So rich is nature in all kinds of wealth that the time will never come when the demands of the human race will over. take the supply which nature is able tC furnish for all our wants.

The late John kirwaggen, who was murdered by Al Uowles last week, has been engaged with his partner A. $. Haskell, in fruit raising, near Jerome, for the past twelve or more years. In giving an account of the tragedy the Journal Miner refers to the fact not generally known in Arizona, namely, that Kirwaggen X Haskell gained a national reputation as fruit growers during the Chicago worlds fair, where apples from their ranch took first prize over all others exhibited there, It was, perhaps, never expected that Arizona would become famous for the quality of her apples, but it is, never theess, fact that the indifferent experiments thus far made in growing apples Tn the mountain valleys and on the high mesa lands hove demonstrated that given the best varieties and proper care, apples of superior qualities can be produced in Arizona. In fact there is no kind of fruit common to tue temperate or semi tropical zones which can not be successfully grown in this territory.

The presidents message was So tame as to scarcely provoke any contention by the press, and apparently congress is as indifferent to the wabbling deliver ance of the chief executive. The one unequivocal recommendation in the message related to the repeal of the duty on anthracite coal, but when it was attempted to provide for such a repeal by an amendment to the bill making an appropriation for the ex- penses of the coal strike commission the house promptly voted the proposit- ion down. This, good many observers say, is a forecast of the extent to which the presidents message will influence the proceedings of congress at this session,

Public Opinion notes the reports coming across the Atlantic, of lack of employment and consequent want and distress in England, Germany, Russia and sweden. It is estimated that half million workmeu are unemployed in the United Kingdom; men literally fight for chance to do days work at the London dockyards, and public works have been started as relief measure. Similar conditions and simi- lar plans of relief are reported from Germany. Unprecedented distress" exists in the interior of Russia, where there are "hosts of beggars and starv- ing people," Pubnc relief measures have also become necessary in Sweden. Such conditions are in sad contrast to our own prosperity, and should in- crease our thankfulneas for the bless ings we enjoy.

The Douglas International thinks that the idea of establishing one central poor farm for the whole territory is hardly feasible, and particularly con- demn the suggestion of the Bulletin that the poor farm be established in Graham county. In we'll considered editorial the International says: "The site proposed is in one corner of the territory, and patients would have to be transported long distances at heavy expense for transportation and attend. ants. In addition there would be the expense of many employees and figure head or two. Instead of one poor farm for the entire territory, would it not be better plan for the several counties to divide up into groups, according to their geographical posi- tiou, and each group maintain poor farm"
