The United States now has long
score to settle with the turbulent lit.
tie Republic Of Santo Domingo, and
unless all signs fail there will be
something doing at an early date on
that sunny little isle in the West In
dies. The obstreperous insurgents
have tweaked Uncle SANS nose,
have tramp!ed on his toes, and ruff
fed his serenity in numerous other
ways, and there are indications that
he is about to yank this saucy little
fellow into the woodshcd and give
him an old fashioned spanking. Our
flag repeatedly has been insulted, the
property Of our citizens wantonly
destroyed, an American marine has
been murdered, and a number Of eth
CT outrages committed in the last few
days which, combined with similar
offences covering long period Of
years, warrant the prediction that the
patience of Uncle Sam is about ex-
haustcd, and he will lay a heavy
hand on the island.
1t is believed that as soon as the
big appropriation bills are out Of the
way the Senate will give this matter
careful consideration, and the bill re-
ccnlly introduced by Senator Hey
burn will come in for a good long de-
bate. Aside from the fact that civiliz-
alton requires something should be
done Immediately in this island, the
carly construction Of the Panama ca
nal makes Santo Domingo a most
important point Of vantage as a coal
ing station and base for fortification.
Senator Hepburn is marshalling his
facts, and when opportunity occurs
will present most strongly the i'm
portancc of exercising protectorate
Of some kind over the island and the
securing OF a naval base thereon. His
bill is regarded here as one Of the
most opportune measures presented
during this session.

VOLUME TX. NUMBER Az. 4.

The Supreme Court, after 4 vacl-
tion since the lst INST, re--asscmbled
on the 23rd inst, and handed down
number OF decisions. An appeal
by colored man from the Board OF
Registration in Montgomery Co. !,
Ala, sinvolying the su ffrage clause OF
the new constitution Of that state,
was dismissed On the technical
ground that no Federal question was
involved. The appeals Of . number
OF Chinese laborers whose deportation
had been ordered, was dismissed.
The decision OF the case Uf the Della

which was argued at great length
before the court, gives the Dc:awarcs

Proper Treatment 81 rnsan.on,a..


Pneumonia is too dangerous q dis.
ease for anyone to doctor himself, al.
though he may have the proper relIe-
dies at hand. A physician should al
ways be called. 1t should be borne iT
mind, however, that pneumonia al
ways results from cold or from an
attack OF the grip, and that by giving
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the
threatened attack OF pneumonia fnay
be warded of. This remedy is also
used by physicians in tho treatment
of pneumonia with the best results.

BALLET IS BUSTED.
Promoter Has Reached the End OF His
Rope in Oregon.

There are a good many in Salt Lake
who know something about Letson BAL
liet, II not in a business way, at least
by reputation, The Sumpter American
of recent date says; AT a recent meet
ing Of the stockholders OF the White
swan Mines company, Ltd. Letson Bal
let. organizer and manager Of the con-
Germ for the period Of It's natural NE
until the present, was oustel from inc
management, and {. II. stuller Oh
Baker City was given the reins OF pow
err. Upon his return from san fran
cisco Mr.. Stuler said his plans con-
template reopenlng the property soon
as he can do so. There was an IN
debtedness against the property oil
something Ike $4,000, which has been
partly Inundated since the change In
management.
1t is said further In behalf OF the
White Swan company that since BAL
liet has been ousted the fraud order Is
sued by the government against Bat
llet and his company mails has been
rescinded so far as II applied to the
company but holds good as yet against
the private mail Of Ballet
No inside information is had as TO
whether Ballet is retiring pursuant TO
generally understood policy OF the
company. because he IL up against the
government hard this time, or whether
he was actually forced out. II he Is
being forced out, his fate darkens as
he nears the end of the rope, and u
seems that all Of the employees and
fond hopes upon which he relied and
worked are turning against him.

THE NEW QUINCY FIND.
Late Developments Are Considered to be
Important

For some time past the developments
in progress at tho Quincy mine OF the
Daly-West company ut Park City have
continued 70 show Improvement. This
much information was gained from AS
sistant Manager Ernest Bamberger this
morning, and, he declared, II looks as
II the disclosures made on the south
side OF the dyke dividing the ore zone
might prove very important. The 800
level has been extended through this
dyke and has apparently encountered
the ore in massive quantities MI,
Bamberger would not venture Il state
ment concerning its proportions, but
was willing to admit that 1t looked big
to him. When he left the mine last
night the face was still In ore, some OF
which has assayed as much as 100
ounces in silver, In addition 10 the cop
per. lead and other contents.
Some there are who believe the strik-
ing of ore on the south side Of the dyke,
not penetrated heretofore, viii virtually
amount to the opening Of another mine.
The finding of the ore has confirmed
the opinion expressed by Manager O.
ID. b. Turner of tine West Quincy, who
hos contended for a long time that
the ore existed on the south side or
the dyke and that the West Quincy,
which is I'm n direct line with the quincy
vein. would get it's share Of H.

President Of the Consolidated Mer.
cur Fayorably Impressed With
Mexican Districts.
MAY BUY A GOLD PROPERTY.
All Depends on What the Assayer
Says--Tells Something About La.
Dor Conditions of the Country.

President John Dern OF the Consoll-
dated Mercur has returned from his
Mexican trip. He came home yester-
day afternoon loaded down with sam
pies Of ore from mine In the state OF
Jalisco, which he has tied up on an
option and is now awaiting che assay
er's report before deciding whether II
is worth buying.
Generally speaking, Mr.. Dern had no
hesitency In saying that he became
fsyorably impressed with the mine in
vestigated, and II the values hold up
TO expectation the deal viii be closed
ard the purchase money paid over to
the present owners.
The property was examined by well
Known mining engineer for Mr. Dern
some time ago and his report was In
the nature OF strong recommended
ton: but before drawing on his bank
account Mr.. Dern concluded to make
personal examination. Unlike many
other Mexican camps the one In which
this mine Is situated has the advant-
age of railroad facilities. II Is not to
exceed nine miles from Ameca, the
terminus Of a branch Of the Guadala-
lara railroad, The district is well
mineralized and contains several big
mines operated by Americans, While
many of them are rich In silver, the
property Mr.. Dern went to see Is dis
tlnctlvely a gold proposition. The vein
Is a strong one and whore opened at
various points shows an average width
OF n little over four feet The mine
can be operated through tunnels thus
expensive equipment will not be neces-
sary.
Mines can be operated much more
cheaply In Mexico, Mr.. bern says, than
IN this country. A great deal Of work
is done by contract by Mexlcans who
do good work as long MS they have
American bosses over them The man.
ager OF one company operating In the
district visited informed Mr.. Dern that
he recently paid for the running of a
long tunnel and the cost was but lit
tie more than 81 per foot American
money. There are few good Mexican
mechanics, Mr.. Dern observed. Where
skilled labor Is required the Mexican Is
failure. This being the case operators
have found out II Is often the case
that mines can be developed more
cheaply by the slower method OF hand
drilling, with the Mexican laborer em-
ployed, than by the use Of modern ma
chine drills.
The Mexican laws are favorable 10
the American investor and for that
reason the mining industry OF the re-
public is IN a most satisfactory con-
dltion.
