From Hannapah, New, a private
letter from Superintendent Frank
Work brings word that ore has made
its appearance in the west drift off
the $50 foot level, and that a three
foot breast of it affords an average
of $12. 40 in silver and 81 80 in gold
per ton. While it is rot of high grade
the results are fully up to those the
management feels that it was just in
expecting from the first shot in the
ore, while everything, writes Super
intendent Work, indicates a strong
body of mineral ahead of him. The
Hannapah group, which is eighteen
miles east of Tonopah, presents the
general characters tics of the latter
camp throughout, and with the ore
exposed on the west the management
entertains no doubt as to the future
of it.-Salt Lake Tribune.

BIsITAIN'S CLAIM.

No self-respecting nation submits
TO arbitration so preposterous claim
as that which Great Britain's ward
has raised anent the Alaska bound
ary The United States has a better
record than any other power on
earth for sincerity and zeal in pro
noting international arbitration. In
consenting to the appointment of the
commission and in naming three com
missioners who were to be depended
upon, our government has gone as
far as justice demands or public sen.
timent would tolerate. 1t would have
been impossible to find three men, or
even one man, in this country OF suf-
ticient intelligence and prominence to
command respect and confidence at
home or abroad whose opinion on
this subject was not immovably fixed
by the logic of memorable facts.
There is but one side to this case. --

DOOM OF TRUSTS.

The Consolidated Lake Superior
crash again calls attention to the fail
ure of the trust boom, for this is only
one of the many recently-formed in
dus trial combina tons which have gone
by the board. In this case, says
Public Opinion, the reasons for failure
are said to be lack of ready cash to
carry on profitable business and a
too sudden and too unmanageable ex-
pansion OF varied interests under one
head. However this may be, the
investing public is concerned princi-
pally in the fact that the shares of
the company which were nominally
valued at $ll7, 00O, 900, and which had
an actual value of $50, 600, 900 in the
stock market, are now valued at less
than one million-$885, 600 according
to now prevailing market prices. A
few more slumps like this and the
days of trust building will be over;
the trust question will settle itself
simply because the public will have
to do with trust shares.

PHILIPPINE CENSUS.

For the first time since our acquisi-
ton of the Philippines we have a
statement of the total population Of
the islands, the approximate accuracy
of which may be safely accepted. The
new government census is completed
so far as the main labor, that of
ton, is concerned and needs
only the revision of the tabulators.
Subject to that, the figures for the
total population are 6,976,574, which
are remarkably close to the estimate
of 6,96l 1899 made by the American
census officials in 1900 and the esti-
mate of $685. 73 made by the bureau
of insular affairs in the war depart
ment in 1902 In round numbers,
then, we may conveniently say there
are seven million people in our Phil
ippine dependency.

LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAR
AS TO SHERIFF CUSHING.

The editor of the Miner can con-
ceive of no motive that would impel
a contemporary to take stand
against an individual or a wrong I'M
less it we're prompted by jealousy or
through the loss of patronage. His
mentality is too narrow to entertain
the tenet that there are conditions of
local government of more consequence
than the material interests of individ-
uals, and because the BONANZA, hew-
ing to the convic tons which have
controlled its every action since its
establishment in Tonopah, has seen
fl to criticise and condemn the official
conduct of Sheriff Gushing, he can
ascribe no reason for it except the
loss of little job printing which
came under the dispensation of the
sheriff, and which he gave to the
Miner office.
The Miner, in its issue of last week,
charges directly that this was the
animus of the 'vicious and ingram
NAUTICAL attack on Sheriff Cushing
in the BONANZA the week before, and
in doing so it states what is unquali-
fiedly false and misleading. The edi-
tor of the BONANZA long since noticed
the shortcomings of Sheriff Cushing,
and went to him on more than one
occasion and expostulated with him
for the course he was pursuing, but
to entreaties and advice he turned a
deaf ear, till at last there was but
one thing to do, and that was to give
publicity to his derelictions and com
mand halt.
What the BONANZA did was done
advisedly, and it has nothing to take
back. While its actions may result
in pecuniary loss, it is more than
recompensed by the consciousness
that public duty has been per.
formed.
AS for Mr.. Cushing, we can only
express our regret that we ever ad.
vocated his election, for had he not
proven his total incapacity for holding
the position of sheriff previous to the
"ungrammat teal attack of the 30.
MANIA, he has most certainly demon
strated it since that time, notably in
his failure to materially assist the
district attorney in his prosecution
of the Chinese cases.

The market for American cattle
and meats in France is now virtually
closed, the French government having
made changes in the tariff which form
an even more serious embargo on
American meats than that declared by
Germany several years ago. Hence
forth cattle, sheep, hogs, etc, and
fresh and sailed meats produced from
them will be subjected to the maxi
mum tariff if imported into France
directly from the United States; or
if imported indirectly, through a Eu-

A WORD TO INVESTORS.

theless true, that the more value
there is developed in Tonopah mine
the lower becomes the price of its
stock. To those who are familiar
with the conditions that govern
these things no reason need be
stated why this is so. But to those
who are unacquainted with the exist
ing phases and who live in places
where they are not in touch with the
methods that obtain, few words Of
explanation may not prove out of
place,
If sold on merit alone there is not a
property lying on and contiguous to
Oddie mountain whose stock should
not be worth at least double what it
is selling for on the market. But it is
not ques tion of merit 1t is a ques
ton of manipulation of stocks by a
few men who have made the boast
that they will beat down the price of
certain Tonopah stocks. Unfortun-
ately, few thousand shares of these
stocks have fallen into the hands of an
INSCRIPTIONS coterie and with the
leverage thus given, aided by the
skillful dissemination of crafty con-
ceived falsehOods, they brighten the
timorous holders of stock into letting
90 their shares. In a few days fla
vorable news from the mines is tipped
out to favored (N few and ma
terial rise in the securities occurs,
the manipulators securing the bene-
fits that accrue. After the stocks
reach a certain point another on
slaught is prepared and precipitated
and another depression results. This
"endIess chain has been in good
working order for many months,
but it is wearing thin in places
and will break past mending when
the mines now being attacked become
dividend payers, as most of them will
at no distant day.
In this connection the BONANZA S
advice to the stockbuying public is;
Eschew all wild cat schemes; look well
to the location of the mine; the stand
ing of the officers and directors, and
the amount of development work
done; then buy, and buy with faith
that nothing can shake; buy with the
expectation of carrying your holdings
for several months, until the mines
becomes dividend payers, and after
buying take the quotations of the
wash sales of the San Francisco
and Tonopah Stock Exchange cum
grano sails.
That this stock exchange is used
solely to aid the manipulators has
long been a well known fact to the
residents of Tonopah. For the bene
fit of non residents a case in point
will be mentioned. The stock of a
certain mine quoted for weeks in the
reports issued by the stock exchange
at 8, 10 and II cents per share, car
not be purchased in quantities for
less than Is cents. This mine adjoins
some of the best properties in the
district; its affairs are handled by able
men of business integrity, yet its
stock has an insignificant value, while
that of properties situated without
the mineral belt and 10 isolated sec
tons of the country, but which are
tiananced by the said manipulators,
have their stock quoted at prices
varying from q to Is cents per share.

MAKES WILD SCENE.
Woman Calling Herself Mrs. Nellie
Fair Loses Control Of Herself.

New York, April pa woman
who registered at the Fifth Avenue
hotel a week ago as Mrs. Nellie
Fair, San Francisco" has been remov-
ed to Bellevue hospital.
She came to the hotel with consid-
cradle baggage and took an expensive
suite of rooms. She seemed to have
plenty OF money. She mad no callers,
so far as known.
This woman, according to the night
clerk, did not seem well from the time
she reached the hotel. In her room
she had almost a mania for ringing
for bell boys.
When her call was answered h
would order wines and when this was
brought she would throw a glass at
the boys head or throw a bottle at
him.
A few days ago a physician was
Sent for. He said the oma was ex-
tremely nervous and prescribed for
her. She recovered to some extent.
MRS. Fair" appeared in the public
dining room last night. She was de-
cidedly nervous
A physician was summoned. He
said she ought to be under constant
care and suggested Bellevue hospital.
There, on being examined, she was
sent to the alcoholic ward.

liams will not be tried Tor robbery.
The case against him was dismissed
by Judge McClernan today on motion
of the county attorney. The absence
of the states most important witness
was given by the public prosecutor
as the main ground for dismissing
the cas-
Williams was to have been tried on
the charge of a prior conviction and
robbery. He a convicted in the
district court three years ago Of rob-
berry and was sent to the penitentiary
for three years.
He was recently arrested on a charge
of robbing A. Mcdonnell of $500 in
Canadian bills and a watch, February
IL, last, by administering knock
out" drops to his victim. Williams
worked in the Mascot saloon and it
was alleged that he 'doped" his vic.
tim there.
The state would have had a strong
case against him, the county attorney
claims, if Bob" Atkinson, who one
time ran the saloon, had not left the
jurisdiction of the court.
Howard, train robber, who is serv-
ing a 30-year sentence in the peni-
Tertiary, made overtures to the coun-
ty attorney to furnish damaging testi-
mony against Williams ii the charge
against him were dismissed and he
were adjudged insane, but the county
attorney refused to listen to him.
Today Mr.. Breen explained to Judge
McClernan that because of the alb
sence of Atkinson from the state and
because. Mcdonnell seemed to be un.
able to identify Williams, the case
might as we'll be dismissed. The
court made an order accordingly.

on SUSPICION
BUTTE BOYS WILL BE TAKEN
BACK TO HELENA.
Supposed to Know What Caused Evan
J. Harris to Fall and Frac-
ture His Skull.

Butte, April 27.-Roy Jones and
Raymond Moore, two young men en-
ployed at the Broadway theatre, were
arrested by Detective Murphy on a re-
quest from Helena and will be taken
back to that city today by Sheriff Nc
Cam, who came over last night. The
boys are suspected OF knowing some
thing about the case of Evan J. Har-
ris, who was found unconscious on
the streets of the capital Sunday
morning and who died a few hours
later without giving a clew as to the
identity of his assailants, if any His
skull was fractured.
Both the boys under arrest we're,
it is alleged, with Harris when he fell
or was pushed to the ground, which
ever the case may be. Both boys deny
absolutely that they in any way as
saulted or in fact had anything to
do with the man. Jones refuses to
say anything about the case with the
VI lA6 SAC SA"A6S vi
suspicion of which he is held. Moore
tells more, but in his story there is
nothing to implicate his companion.
The boys went to Helena with the
Overland Ministries to assist on the
stage. According to Moore it was
about 1890 o'clock when he and
Jones were walking down Main street
and Harris stopped them. The boys
stopped for an instant and Moore
started to go on, noticing that Harris
seemed to be very much intoxicated.
His face was turned in the opposite
direction for several seconds, and
when he next turned around Harris
was lying on the ground and Jones
had started on. Both boys then went
to their lodgings and Moore says he
thought no more about it.
Moore says that he did not have
any idea that Jones struck tae man
or in fact had any words with him.
The two stopped but an instant, and
there. was no occasion for a quarrel.
The two boys will undoubtedly
testify at the inquest, which will be
held in the case, and at that time
Jones may make a more full state
ment, but now he declines to talk
about the matter aside from denying
any Connection with the mans acct
dent and death.

SUBSCRIBERS TO STOCK LOSING
FAITH IN CALIFORNIAN.
TOO SLOW MAKING GOOD
Suspicious That Gentleman Lacks
Power Of Leverage to Raise
Amount Promised.

VA strong suspicion is developing
among the subscribers to the capital
stock OF the proposed wooden mill
company that j. F. Lever is not able
to make good the promises he made
when correspondence was opened
with him, and that it WAL become nec-
essary to look around tor some one
else to enlist in the enterprise.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Lever wrote from Eureka, Cal, that
whenever the sum OF $12,5OO was
raised he stood prepared to advance
a like amount for the purpose OF
building and eQuipping a wooden mill
here, he to be the manager OF the COM
pany that was to be organized. On
the strength of this the Commercial
committee OF the Billings club ap-
pointed a Subcommittee and within a
few days the amount stipulated by
Mr.. Lever vas subscribed. This hav-
ing been accomplished the gentleman
was notified and requested to come
at once, SO that as title time as pos
sible should elapse before actual oper-
ations could begin. Instead of COM
ing on, he wrote that a lot OF machin-
cry could be had at Sioux Falls, s. D.,
AAAAA 6AS NAAAN ~ OO Ol6l1CS 6L0Lll16 y
could be secured for $4,000.
This proposition was SO utterly at
variance with all accepted business
saying it cou.A not be entertained and
he was told again to come on to Bill
ings, so that the company could be
organized and matters shaped in
proper form. In reply to this a tele-
gram was received from him today di-
recting that the machinery suggested
by him be bought and turned in as
cash and when this had been done he
would come.
Instead of doing this, a letter was
sent to him to come at once and be
prepared to advance The sum he had
promised at the outset, Or else let
the subscribers to the fund know what
his intentions were; that nothing
would or could be done until the COM
pany had been properly organized
and equipped for the transaction OF
business in the usual way.
Because OF the name in which he
is acting it is believed That Mr.. Lever
is not in possession OF lne ready o

else does not are to 4nvesl it. He
will be given another opportunity to
show his sincerity and in case he still
