The last words of John p. Altgeld
should provide great encouragement in
those who battle for the right princi-
Piles. Governor Altgeld's last words
were: IT am not discouraged. Things
will right themselves. A pendulum
swings n way and then another, but
the steady pull of gravitation is toward
the center of the earth. Any structure
must be plumb if il is to endure. So it
is with nations. Wrong may seem to
triumph; right may seem to be defeat
ed; but the gravitation of eternal JUS
tice is upward toward the throne of
God. Any political institution, if it is
to endure, must be plumb with that
line of Justice"

DIsCOURAeING NEWS
FROM TONOPAH.
From the Salt Lake Herald of April 8.

From the alt Lake Herald Of April 8.
Willard D. Thompson returned from .
two months trip to Tonopah and vicinity
yesterday morning. He emphasizes every
thing said concerning the camp by George
Wilson ten days ago, adding that the camp
is being doomed far beyond its merits, par
ticularly ON the coast. Flaming posters are
scattered all the way from San Francisco to
Reno advising miners that they can get
work in the camp at 81 per day, when. as q
matter of fact. there are only about As min
ers employed by the Tonopah Company, and
very little doing on any other property.
A few days ago Mr.. Thompson met .
party Of fifteen miners who landed there
with only IS 80 between them. and they
started out the same night to 'hoof" it back
across the sixty miles of desert to Soda
vile. He said . great many things about
the camp that would not set well with those
who are promoting companies and floating
stock, but as he had no desire to be classed
% . '~knocker," he refused TO have his opin-
ions quoted. 1t was enough ct this time,
he said. to warn men looking for work to
stay away from that camp.

III -
VIII Prove q One-nfne Camp.
Salt Lake Herald: George Wilson, the
mining expert, has returned to Salt Lake
from a three weeks tripto Tonopah, Ray,
Klondike and other sections of Nevada
that are attracting so much attention Just
now. He went out in the interest OF w.
HI. Child and others, and returns with q
report which, while it may not set well
with the boom element, will be accepted
as true by all conservative men, whether
they have become interested over there
or not.
Tonopah. Mr.. Wilson says, has prob
ably the making of n Of the biggest
mines in the country, with a good chance
for the Salt Lake & Tonopah Company to
make a strong second to the Tonopah
Company itself, but where the rest will
get off at is a grave question. The Salt
Lake crowd was lucky in getting close
to the parent c~ompany's workings on one
end, but the other, he says, has been Sc
cured by the old corporation for such a
long distance on the supposed course of
the veins. that outsiders stand little show
Of getting anything good.
The country has been staked off for
miles in all directions, but when he was
at camp there were just sixty miners en-
ployed, and with both the companies
named doing nothing but sinking, he
could not see that the force would be ma
t%erially increased for several months to
come.
From fifteen to twenty men are daily
going into the Tonopah district, but it
takes most of them only a short time to
see hat there is nothing for them to stay
for and then they pull out again.
Mr.. Wilson did not return with an idea
of giving Tonopah a black eye. and he
said that many mines might yet be dis
covered there. The conditions at pres
ent, or the development work done, how
ever, cannot be counted as holding out
any extravagant promise for the future,
and the people of that section will be
forced, he thinks, to acknowledge it in
the near future.

Mir. Eby had been out on his district as was his custom How the accident occurred it will be impossible to tell until he re- covers sufficiently to explain the cause Upon receipt of information con- cenring the accident Superin- tendent Sroufe ordered a special to be made up and as soon as possible he left for Maricopa. accompanied by Dr. H. w. Fenner, company surgeon, and Resident Engineer Clarke.
 The party returned to the city with MT. Eby at o'clock. Mrs. Eby and Mrs. Wardwell, wife of the Maricopa agent, came along to the city. Mr. Eby was taken to the hospital. The latest from him was after o'clock and that he would occasionally regain consciousness for few moments, re- lapsing into the opposite condition. The attending physician could not at pres ent determine the extent of Mr Eby's injuries.
 MT. Eby was associated with the resident engineers office until last Oc- tober. when he was assigned as road master with headquarters at Gila Bend.
