The above property has been very
unfortunate ON account of the dogin
the-manger policy of one of its stock
holders. He secured small interest
in the property prior to the incorpo-
ration of the company to operate it,
and was given large block of stock
of the company for his interest in the
mines. When the company commenced
to sell its treasury stock at % cents
per share, for development purposes
this mine wrecker offered his at a
much less price, and as none of the
proceeds of the stock sold by him
went towards development of the
property, the company was compelled
to close work ON the mines, being I'M
able to sell treasury stock in COMPETE
ton with this wrecker. Overtures of
all kinds we're made to him but he re-
fused TO either sell his holdings or
to permit the company to go ahead
and sell its treasury stock to obtain
funds for developing the property.
Finally the offer spoken of above
was made to the company to take a
three years bond on the property, the
parties making the offer agreeing to
pay 80 cents per share for the entire
capitalization and to go ahead and
develop the property. Payment was
to be made at the end of the three
years but any stakeholder had the
privilege of selling his holdings if he
so desired at an earlier date. Then
as stated above, this dog in-the-
manger wrecker hobs up again in OPP
position to the scheme, and again
prevents the resumption of operations
on the mine.

A WreCker of Mines.

The Jerome News says that "the
offer of syndicate to take Venture
Hill Copper Mining company's prop
critics in this district under a two
year bond, has not as yet materialized
to anything beyond an offer. 1t is
the opinion of the stockholders in the
company in Jerome who we're III favor
of the deal, that the fact that,they
had but bare majority with them
in the matter, also that number of
heavy stockholders in California and
in the east threatened to fight the
bonding of the property under any
conditions, even so far as to tie it up
in the courts for years to come, we're
the causes of failure to consummate
the deal. The Venture Hill is a good
property, and it is simply matter of
a short time before capital will take

In conversation, in Milwaukee, re

any court in the land for murder in
the same degree as if the crime were
committed by an individual. There
is going to be reaction against the

pers have been filled. | expect that
it will come soon. Icannot say what
form it will take, but there will be an
uprising of popular feeling against
lynchings which will result in legisla

The only hope for a reaction is for a
reaction to start in the courts, where
by men who commit cold blooded
m urders and other outrageous crimes
may be speedily tried, and if con-
victed as speedily punished. The
dilly dallying with justice by the
courts is usually the cause of lynch

Addition TO School.

The announcement comes from Los
Angeles that the management of the
Brownsberger Home School is con-
structing another addition to the al
ready large buildings occupied by the
school. A large and completely
equipped gymnasium has been erect
ed, and it seemed to Mrs. Browns
berger that building specially built
for the purpose would meet the needs
better than any temporary arrange
ment. A gymnasium handled along
the lines that the Brownsberger
school will maintain will prove one of
the most valuable features of the in
stitution. It's use will not be obliga-
tory, but without doubt the innova-
tion will be heartily welcomed by the
students, as the average young man
and woman who lays aside physical
exercise for mental discipline, Graves
something to make his blood boil at
times. A trained instructor will be
provided, and hours will be set aside
for the ladies and the gentlemen. The
plans of the building include spra
baths, lockers, and the latest and a
very extensive gymnasium equip
ment. In fact it will probably sur
pass anything of the kind now to be
found in the city. The Brownsberger
does not believe in doing anything by
halves. 1t is this principle that has
enabled the school to graduate several
hundred students during the past
year, and place them in positions.
The Brownsberger Home School pro-
vides a pleasant home in the city for
out-of town students, where culture
in every higher sense may be had.

PeriIs of Mr.. Webster.

\ gentleman who came up from

the sad information that Noah c.

ing eaten by mosquitoes. 1t is a pleas

rowly escaped death equally horri BILE
as being eaten by mosquitoes, as
will be seen from the following item
in the Republican: Friends of Con-
tractor n. c. Webster are congratulate
ing him on his narrow escape FROM
death at Mesa City yesterday. While
the p and f. train was standing at
the depot Mr. Webster tried to climb
on board in the hope that he could
beat his way down to Phenix but he
slipped on the icy platform and fell,
badly decorating his pants and skin
ming his hands. If the train had been
moving he might have been run over
after he fell, but on the other hand if
the train had been moving he would
not have fallen. He has been rail-
reading so long he can't climb on to

The decision of the city council to

not seem to meet with the approval
of our citizens generally, Judging

The Guard Was Merry.

One of the most cowardly attempts
at assassination that has ever occurred
in this section was made at Lynx
creek before daylight yesterday
morning. The intended victim of the
bushwhacker was W. S. Conner, an old
time miner and prospector of Lynx
creek. He is employed as Waterman
at the Poland tunnel and yesterday
morning about 2 o'clock, just as he
stepped out into the light from the
engine room there was crack of a
rifle and bullet came whizzing over
his head about eight inches, burying
itself in the timbers of the building.
The bullet was a 1890 Winchester.
The indications were that the assassin
who fred it was concealed behind a
clump of bushes, the protection
afforded by the darkness not being
sufficient to shield him.
The report of the gun brought the
other watchmen to Mr.. Corners side,
as we'll as some of the other employees.
They were unable to tell just from
where the shot had been fred and Mr..
Conner with most remarkable nerve
and courage, suggested that the others
conceal themselves in the darkness,
while he would again go out into the
light and probably the cowardly as
sassin would fire another shot at him,
and they could succeed in locating
him.
Mr.. Conner is member of the Pros
pectors' Alliance on Lynx creek and
took an active part in its organization
and is said to have incurred the spe-
cial enmity of the strikers there. All
the properties being worked on Lynx
creek at present are compelled to en-
ploy armed guards. A free soup house
has been established at Walker where
the miners are provided with food.

Lansing. Fec. 9.-The Michigan state

mission, and that only recognized vet

which will be asked of the legislature

DDS taken by law 10 prevent contagloh

adjustment OF the state commission
Is the first request and the other pro-
visions follow as expedients TO replace

law will be asked TO include Prov
sion for the payment 10 owners OF AMI
mails condemned and killed in order TO
stamp ont contagion. The provisions
of the law follow closely the laws re-
lating TO the general government OF
health. Another change of law which
their legislative committee will seek
TO impress upon the lawmakers is one
which will make il crime for any one
except recognized veterinarian to
practice upon animals. The slogan will
be raised that the treatment of ami
mails is nearly as important as the
treatment OF human beings, in that the
health Of the animal has important
bearings upon the general health con-
ditions. They also indors:d the law
OF the state board OF health regarding
the inspection Of meats and slaughter
houses.
