An Elopenent.

The most sensational incident to oe-
cur on the Comstock in a long time
was the elopenent Tuesday Of George
Bonafous and Mrs. B. d. Gillon. They
left in a spring wagon, and their desti-
nation is thought to be Arizona.
Bonafous had been associating with
Mrs. Gillon for several months, says
the Chronicle, her husband being alb
sent in Costa Rica. He returned to this
place about the first of the month. 1t
is believed that the presence of her
husband here proved irlSsome to Mrs.
Gillon, and that she made up her mind
TO fly with Bonafous. On Monday
night while Bonafous was walking on
the railroad track in company with a
young woman friend, Mrs. Gillon APP
peared on the scene with gun and
threatened his life. Pointing the weap-
on at Bonafous she told him she
would have him or else she would kill
him." Bonafous took the gun away
from her and peace was finally restor-
ed.
Either he believed that she meant
what she said, or else he was not
greatly averse to an elopement, for he
quit his job in the mine drew his time
check, and made other preparations
for the fight. In conversation shortly
before he left, he said he was about to
leave town with weman. That If he
did not go with her there was going to
be a row aud he would lose his job,
anyhow, SO he concluded that he might
as well get out Of town.
Among other things that went with
the pair was 500 in cash, of which
amount Mrs. Gillon is said to have Civ
en- 500 to Bonafous.
Mr. Gillon seems reeoneiled to the
departure of the fugitives. At least he
has lodged no complaint with the sher-
if and consequently no attempt has
been made to pursue them.
Bonafous made no secret Of his CON
templated departure. He told many
acquaintance of it, and was seen by
many more as he rode out of town in
the wagon. Mrs. Gillon joined him at
some point on the grade He told a
number of friends that he would be
back in time for the fall election.

CHAMPAGNE WATER.
Singular Excellence of the Water of
Owens River in the Garden
of the Gods

The water of one of the branches of
the north fork of Owens river, near
the southeastern boundary of the
park, at an elevation of 5000 feet above
the sea. is the most delicious l ever
tasted. says John Muir, in Atlantic. 1t
is not only delightfully."- cool and bright,
sparkling, exhilarating, and so pos
itively delicious to the taste that
party of friends led to it % years ago
still praise it, and refer to it as that
wonderful champagne water" though
comparatively the finest wine is a
coarse and vulgar drink The party
camped about week in a pine grove
on the edge of a little round sedgv
meadow through which the stream ran
bank full, and drank its icy water on
frosty mornings before breakfast and
at night about as eagerly as in the
heat of the day; lying down and tax
ing massy draughts direct from the
brimming flood, lest the touch of a cup
might disturb its celestial flavor.
TO what the peculiar indefnable ex-
ceilence of this water is due | don't
know; for other streams in adjacent
canyons are aired in the same way.
and draw traces of minerals and plant
essences from similar sources. The
best mineral water yet discovered in
the park flows from the Tuolumne
soda springs on the north side of the
Big Meadow. Mountaineers like it and
ascribe every healing virtue to it, but
IN no way can any of these waters be
compared with the Owens river cham
payne.

Tonopah Mines Shut Down.

A report reached this city last night
that all the mines at Tonopah had been
shut down, owing to strike of the
miners. The union claimed that the
wages paid miners under the contract
system was not up to the standard of
81 a day established for that camp
The engineers also quit work as they
were compelled to work twelve hours
day and do blacksmith work, the
latter having been discharged. A
meeting was held Wednesday evening
to try and adjust the difficulty, but
Manager Oddie says he is unable to do
anything until he hears from the main
officers at Philadelphia. AS a result of
the trouble no mines are working in
the camp and it is not known when
the difficulty will be settled. Enter
prise.

Cecil Rhodes is dead, and his memory
Is being honored and cursed at one and
the same time. In my opinion, he was
melted in his course by the same spirit
that governs a great General on the
field of battle, /. g., to make his fight
sharp, bloody and decisive in the in
terest of humanity. While the correct
ness of the philosophy may well be
questioned, it is yet an admitted fact
that civilized governments live right
up to it. The United States is trying
its hand at it in the Philippines, and
England in South Africa with indiffer-
emit success. Mr.. Rhodes sought to
establish grand empire in Africa, and
believed that the ends justified the
means-or any means adopted. He
found the farmers of South Africa a
slow, Flooding people, and he could
not handle the government like Mark
Hanna. He couldn't bride the Dutch
burghers- voters-so he set to work to
obtain the franchise for foreigners, or
uitlanders. Failing in that, he precipi-
tated a war, which SO far has also
failed, and he died about as well salts
fed as Napoleon Bonapart at st.
Helena, with whom he can now ''talk
IL over" on the neither shore.

Carson Letter.

EDITOR COURIER: The pampered,
protected pets are still standing around
the table, on which there is Reciproc-
lily bottle, and only one glass, and they
are bowling and scraping politely at
each other saying .apres vous, mon
sieur' after you, sir. After McKin-
ley's famous Buffalo speech, in which
he favored Reciprocity as remedy for
our congested market for breadstuffs,
and to help build up our merchant
marine, | wrote to the COURIER that
Reciprocity would work charmingly
until it was applied, but that the first
attempt to apply it would raise a howl
that would be heard around the world.
BY reciprocity is meant tariff reduc-
ton, or the total wiping out of the tar
if on goods coming to this country
from countries that will permit our
goods to enter theirs on similar terms.
Viewing the tremendous fortunes being
amassed by the protected manufac-
turers, Mckinley saw that his party
was doomed unless something was done
to help those who really pay the tariff
those who wear the goods-and he
advocated reciprocity as a means of re-
ducing the tariff, and to encourage
commerce and exchange of products.
But the fat, overgrown calves won't
be pulled away from the teat. How
ever, step was finally made to redeem
the pledges of the party, and in accord
ance with McKinley's speech, and
Roosevelts message to Congress, and
bill has passed the lower house re-
ducing the tariff on Cuban sugar 20
per cent for about two years, and the
party nearly went to pieces over it. 1t
is now in the Senate, with fair show
of being beaten. The party organs
complain that this 20 per cent. comes
out of the pockets of the beet sugar
producers, and goes into the pockets
of Cuban sugar trust. But this is
not true, as matter of fact When the
housewife goes to the store and gets
five pounds more sugar for dollar
than she formerly got, she will know
that she has made those five pounds of
sugar by the tariff reduction.

We are always looking around for
capital to come into the country to de
velop our resources, but country is
really better off when naturally de
veloped by those residing in the eoun-
try than when developed by foreign
capital. The point is we'll illustrated
by Tonopah's present experience. Jim
Butler, miner and pro.geetor, found
rich ore, without the assistance of cap
ital outside of his own stored labor.
He gave leases to laboring men, who
had no capital other than their muscle.
They sunk shafts, extracted ore, ship
ped it great distances, had it reduced,
and practically all of them did well;
the country was proceeding to develop
side capital came in, and bought up
the mines, and things are almost at a
stand-still. When work is resumed, it
will be on a firm, economical basis;
men will be employed as cheaply as
they can be got; they will have to
trade at the company stores of all kinds,
and the net profits derived from that
entire section will go where the capital
came from. Eureka was discovered by
miners, and wonderful showing of
ore made before any foreign capital
came in at all. After capital got in the
ore bodies were worked as long as cap
ital could make anything out of the
business, and then practically turned
the mines back to labor, and labor is
now running the camp. Every other
mining camp has probably had tho
same experience. therefore conclude
that labor is what develops country,
and that capital simply exploits it.

DANISH INDIANS WlLllN'
fnh abb tants of Islands Are Ready and
Anxious for Cneie Sans Eule.

u
New York, Jan. 2s.-The special CORE
spondent of the Tribune at st. Thomas,
Danish West Indies, sends the following
in connection with the reported transfer
of the islands to the United States:
What puzzles the average Danish
West Indian more than anything is the
impression which seems to have gained
ground in America and elsewhere that
he objects to the transfer of these ISL
ands and that plebiscite is necessary.
Apart from the fact that there are so
many different nationalities in the Dam
ish West Indies that it would be a mat
ter of great difficulty to arrive at just
conclusions in case of a plebiscite, it
may be confidently asserted that no such
wish has been expressed and if it were
possible to take vote, under such cir
cumstances, it would be in favor Of the
transfer
THAT there may have been feeling
against it some time ago among some
few of the natives is possible, but this
was partly owing to sentiment and partly
to the statements made by the anti-sale
party about the miserable conditions OF
Porto Rico under American rule. Now
that the truth has come to light about
that island and every mail brings further
reports of its progress, once again, as in
1867, our people are looking forward TO
the change, believing that there can be
nothing save prosperity for these islands
shrouId it take place.
