WATCH THE SCHEMERs

Representative Van Duzer of Ne
vada has recently given expression
to some sentiments in which he
roasts the Eastern miner" who
does his mining on paper, and who
finds all the values that he ever
gets in the pockets of suckers
which said suckers finally wind UP
by "having it in" for the West on
account of these frauds.
Mr.. Van Duzer hits the matter
pretty squarely. There is, how
ever, a class of man that is usu-
ally overlooked. That is the fell
low who originates in the West.
He has been in a mining camp for
some time and has learned the
phraseology of a prospector and
has gone back East with a "com-
pany" and some stock in some
proposition which may or may not
be all right. The fellow goes after
one and all to buy stock. He puts
on airs, and runs with the fast set.
He sells some stock and elbows in"
the money right and left trying to
sell more. He rents fine offices
when he has the money or the
credit. He probably keeps a few
men at work on his mine SO long
as the men will work without pay.
He sends long kilograms to the
miners about how he is making
big deal and how he will have the
thing going in few days.
Sometimes the old name runs
out and it is found to be necessary
to inspire new venom into the
scheme by giving the company
new name and making new claims
for the greatness Of its holdings.
This has been perpetrated on Ari-
zona and is being perpetrated
again and again. What is the re-
suit? An honest man with another
good claim, for perhaps the first
fellow really has a fair prospect,
goes East with his plans for MAX
ing a good mine and lays his
scheme before the public. 1t is at
once classed with the frauds that
have already worked every nook and
corner of the earth. And the coun-
trv, from which both honest and
dishonest comes is denounced.
One fraudulent deal will get wider
publicity than a dozen square
deals which made lots of money.
In fact, many of our most success
ful mine operators refrain from all
forms of publicity, because they
are afraid that by publicity they
will get the public to thinking that
they have some fake designs
upon it.
The effects of these things are
demoralizing in the extreme. They
hold the country in check. And
who is to blame mostly, after the
perpetrators of the fraud ? There
are several classes to blame, one of
which is the sucker. He ought to
have enough sense to investigate
thoroughly before getting in on the
deals. Then, there is another class
to blame, which brings the matter
close home to us. The newspapers

Tribute to 81 and Shorty.

Comrade ]. f. Spaldng. ODD Ill.,, writes
for the Byron Gll.D Record a very good
story of the fight Of Kilpatrick's Cavalry
at Aiken, S. c., the brunt of which fell
upon his regiment, and says:
1.-THE best description Of this fight that
I ever saw was once printed in The Ma
tional Tribune in continued story called
81 and Shorty. The author of the arti-
Gle must have been there or he had
heard the story well told. About the
only mistake in the story is where
he says Col. Van Buskirk gave ST
Klegg a Spencer rifle. / know the Colonel
never gave any one a Spencer rifle; it was
too hard to keep them ourselves.
''There Is much truth in the remark of
Shorty's For Il good quiet time stay with
the infantry but l think that there was a
squad of infantry with us that day. as
there was most every day during the whole
march, and they were always good men,
ready to take a hand in any trouble we
might get into"

impressive are the results as there dis
played. Their exhibit in the Educational
Department is very remarkable-so for
chilly in contrast with their rude tribal con-
ditions that are there portrayed in many
weird phases.
When, after the fine military drill of
those erect sturdy fellows in Uncle
