All of these save the fireman were rid
ing in the smoking ear at the time. This
ear was reduced to kindling wood in part.
All of the injured have been removed to
Alliance
The collision occurred a mile east Of
Hyannis, between the Portland-St Louis
flyer, eastbound, and an extra stock train
bound west with % carloads of cattle Tor
the eastern range. There is nothing def
mite to indicate who was responsible for
the two trains moving in opposite dIreo-
tons being on the same track, and ne
details as to the rate of speed at which
either was going.
1t was necessary to build a track
around the wreck, and this has indefin-
itely delayed the arrival of the passeng-
ger train which was due here at / o'clock
this afternoon. A wrecking crew was
sent out from Alliance bearing surgeons.
Hyannis is 20 miles east of Alliance,
which is division headquarters for the
Wyoming extension.

MISCELLANEOUS MINING NEWS.

Information has reached Greenwood
last week to the effect that the crop
pings of another ore body, entirely
separate from the big ore deposits now
being worked at that mine, were dis
covered on the Mother Lode property
Deadwood camp. The groupings have
been exposed for width of about so
feet, and the new find promises to be
an important one. Not enough work
has yet been done to determine the
value of the ore, but it is well min
eralized and has a very promising ap-
pearance.
The Northport smelter may be clos
ed down temporarily. This intimation
is conveyed by the following state
ment issued from the London Office of
the lie Roi company:
"In consideration of the fact that
24,52S tons of ore mined during the
month of March were estimated to
yield profit of only SO 1850, the direc-
tors cabled to Mr. Mackenzie asking
whether it would not be polite to con-
serve ore reserves pending reduction
of working expenses, and his reply
been received.
NMr. Mackenzie says that while cop
per and silver are at present prices
and fuel and freight at present rates
the March grade of ore leaves no prof
it. and he has already begun to sort
the ore more closely. making April
grade up to $1,000 per ton. He also
reports that he~sis experiencing diff
ficulty with smelling operations and
has reason to believe a considerable
percentage is not being recovered. He
is, therefore, going to clean up at the
smelter to ascertain to what extent
this is SO.
eff the clean up shows losses, which
the difference between assay values
and recovery indicate, Mr.. Mackenzie
strongly advises treating the ore on
hand at the smelter and then to shut
down the smelling works entirely un
til he can obtain satisfactory freight
and fuel rates and prices have risen
for metal. He will push ahead with
developments in lower levels, work be
ing done by contract, and reduce ex
penses to the lowest possible point"
An estimate has been made that the
Trail smelter with it's decreased costs
for coke and other advantages, coulC
handle lie Roi ores for 81 per ton lesi
than the lie Roi smelter can do thu
work and still make a profit. Hints
are thrown out that lie Roi ores ma.
be diverted to Trail for a time.
The Silver Bell slide came dow
last week and the full force at TIT
Rambler Cariboo has been laid off
pending the descent of all the slides il

During last week the mines of III

tons. The shipments for the week /
detail were: CRANKY mines, 9,77
tons; Mother Lode, 1886 tons; VIM
peg, 35 tons; No. Mines. 60 ton
This week the CRANKY smelter treate
9.459 tons, which make total of 129

JUST TAX THEM INTO DEcENcY.

The announcement that the present Congress
could not possibly do little than consider ard
pass upon the appropriation bills may prove a
wrong guess. Many measures Of general character
are in course OF preparation, a number of which
have already been introduced. Among them it is
said that there are more than fifty bills designed
control trusts. AS the fear IS being continually
expressed that no bill be drafted which viii
stand the tests Of the courts and that therefore an
amendment 10 the constitution would be found neces-
sary why not omnibus these fifty antitrust mea-
sures and pass them all Surely among such a
multiplicity Of efforts some one would be found that
would be equal to the strain of the corporation
lawyers. while all Of them taken together as so
many sections under the same law, where one failed
in covering oophole another would prove effec-
tive. Fifty bills all aimed at the thing
stitute an unheard Of number of different efforts,
and all TO regulate single abuse. It would seem
that it might prove the part of wisdom for the
trust magnates to begin to hedge and in a lively
way. In thes consideration of such number Of
ideas the best method ought to be ascertained. The
discussion Of such range of proportions should dis
close every pro and con and insure the necessity and
constitutional remedies. The President short time
since, seemed to hold to an amendment to the con-
stitution the and direct way Of reaching
the abusive elements Of the trusts. It strikes us
that income tax might be a good thing in the
emergency, in the way Of curative at least
regulator We are aware that the Eagle has been
out Of line with its party for long time this
question Of income tax. But We have never been
convinced Of its unsoundness or want of equity We
would tax the trusts into decency as We would tax
the Carneges the Rockefeers and the host of other
fellows who have grown fabuIously wealthy through
advantages which they did not create but which
conditions supplied afforded them gratutousy, and
at the cost Of the country at large and of its people
If Carnegie ct al had been compelled to put up
for their snaps they would be sweating less in
devsing schemes to rid them of their burthens and
for the easing Of their conscicnces

HIS coweoyHoop KNOWLEDGE.

At last the river and harbor grafters in Congress
have come to the opening of the new epoch IN
which they will have to reckon with the west or
otherwise go without appropriations. The river and
harbor graft has been the biggest single pull On the
funds of the United States treasury. But the west
which holds millions of lands that need but addi-
tonal water to render them wonderfully productive
and the west having grown strong in its own poltl-
cal might is demanding a pro rate for irrigation
The head Of the administration having, in his COW
boyhood acquired knowledge of the benefits OF
water in districts of prevailing aridity stands for
the western idea and demand And so there are
going to be millions for irrigation. The secretary
Of agriculture seems to have come around to Pres
dent Roosevelts way of thinking and to disposition
to concede the west its quid pro quo. In his recent
report to the Agricultural Department he has this
to say of his plans and work along the lire of irri
cation:
The distribution and use of western rivers re-
quires legislation on the irrigation industry which,
in turn renders it necessary that there should be
better understanding of the subject than exists
The department is securing information as to the
quantity of water used where it is used, how much
water is required in the matter of crops, how it
can be distributed with the least loss. and applied
to the best advantage. Much has been done to edu-
cate farmers and ditch managers as the direction
in which Improvement in the method of practice
must come They have made plans, have shown
the need of better work in constructing and main
tanning canals and have shown that the loss Of
water through leakage in transit is far greater than
is generally supposed The large problems which
the complete use Of western rivers is destined TO
create and the measure of public control which
recent legislation renders inevitable give added in
terest to the departments studies of the legal and
economic phases of irrigation Through the courtesy
of government officials in Egypt the representative
of the department enabled to become fully &C
quainted with the administration of laws govern
ing the use of the Nile. Allowing for differences in
conditions the lesson of of the Oldest irrigated
countries in the world fail to be of interest
and value to one of the youngest number of the
arid states cooperate with the department in these
studies of sociological and legend problems"
