MINES AND MINING.

The outlook At Dawson City and the
Klondike country generally is not en-
couraging George II. Hess. on be-
half of the Canadian Manufactures
association, who spent some time at
Dawson studying conditions, takes a
very pessemIstic view OF the future OF
the great gold camp. In brief the re-
port says that the total yield OF gold
last year in the klondike was s2i, oOo,-
600. The production OF she coming
year, according to the government es-
Inmates. will not exceed Sl4, 200. 600, a
falling off OF nearly one-half. No new
discoveries have been made for over a
wear. although since 1897 thousands OF
pros pectors have been exploring every
creek and mountain in the country,
At Dawson Mr.. Hess reports ten APP

The life of any placer country must of
necessity be of short duration but the
great gold quartz veins OF Arizona
cannot be exhausted in centuries OF
steady work. One tenth part OF the
money spent liz prospecting in Alaska
during the past few years would have
opened up hundreds OF good mines in
Arizona. One thing is certain-Ari-
zcna has the mines, and they will be
developed in the near future.

the penitentiary physician, asking him as
to the state of Brubaker's health, and re-
ceived word that he seemed to be in good
health, barring attacks of indigestion Mrs
Brubaker called the governor again to-
day and importuned him to parole Amos,
but the governor thought Amos had not
yet become sufficiently acclimated to the
climate at Lansing to know whether he
liked it or not and he refused to do any
thing in view of Brubaker's apparent
health.

BURNED OFF FINGERS.
Sherman Terril Frightfully In
jured by Electricity.

SherAan Terril. an employee of the c.
D. Skinner Transfer company, is at
Christ hospital, where he had the thumb
and forefinger of his right hand ampu-
tated today.
Terril, together with Perry Thomp-
son, another employee of the transfer
company, were experimenting with a
new telephone that had been placed in
the barn where are kept the transfer
horses. They had watched the cleo
trician touching two posts on the tele-
phone to test the strength of the bat
terry, and attempted to do the same
thing. They fastened a wire to the in
strument and took hold of both ends,
and an explosion that was heard for
half a block followed. The explosion
knocked Thompson from his feet and
burned the ends of Terrips thumb and
forefinger so as to make amputation
necessary The telephone wire must
have been crossed with a live trolley
wire of the street railway company.

THIS IS PARDON DAY.
Edward Arnett, of Allen COun-
ty, Only One to Score.

This is pardon day with Governor
Stanley He was busy all the morning,
going through applications for paroles
and listening to the arguments and ap-
peals made by friends of people who
wanted to get out of jail
Only one applicant managed to get his
parole granted. And he is only inn
prisoned in a county Jail. and his Of
Tense was only petty larceny. 1t does

wouldn't have got it at all if his wife
hadn't been sick. So it cannot be said
that the applicants for paroles scored
very heavily.
The one man paroled was Edward
Arnett. who is serving "a sentence of
six months in the Allen county Jail for
stealing turkeys. The prosecuting wit
ness, county attorney and justice of the
peace who convicted Arrett all asked
that he be paroled, as he has already
served over three months of his six
months sentence. TIE only thing that
induced Governor Stanley to grant the
parole was the fact that Arnett's wife
is sick and needs his assistance. The
parole was made to date from April l.
Among the paroles which were refus-
ed was that o. Ellsworth Hacker. WHO
was sentenced in 1894 to be hanged for
the murder Of Jacob Baker in Pratt

for reciprocity have no weight with
them. ALI that they are able to see is
that the slightest modification of any
tariff duty may involve the overthrow
of the whole system. Nothing could be
more stupid than that position The
tariff has been modified many times in
the LAST thirty years, and most of the
notifications have been made by Re-
publicans. Yet the protective system
seems to be pretty firmly intrenched.
The truth is that nothing could give the
anti-tariff movement such a stimulus
as to refuse to make any concessions
to the Cuban sellers and to the Ameri-
can buyers of sugar. For such a stand
as that would prove that the protec-
tionists could not be trusted to modify
the system, and also that the system
was regarded by its friends as so sacred
as to be above the most timid attack.
Institutions more deeply rooted even
than our tariff have been destroyed By
the wrath provoked by the dull insist
ence of their friends who refused to
listen to those who wanted to change
and modify those institutions 1t may
be so with American protection.
