shown in your paper this morning. 1t

MOUND HOUSES NEW MILL.
Contractor Who Built II Returns
Some Sensational Ore.

Carl B%ernsuu. the well known me-
chanical engineer and millw'ight, re-
turned yesterday morning FROM . three
months trip to Mound House, New,
where he has been erecting the new
sampling works for the Western Ore
Purchasing company, says the salt Lake
Tribune. He reports that the new
works are a model of convenience and
perfectly equipped with the latest ma
chlnery. The plant has a capacity OF
$50 tons Of ore per day, and it went into
regular commission Wednesday last.
"The company" SAYS Mr. Bernson,
has lts main works ut EeG,, but Its
business has grown so rapidly that 1t
became imperative to put i'll another
mill. The new plant at Mound House
will relieve The situation greatly for the
present, but with the brUad-guaging OF
the road between Mound House and
Tonopah, the company will still be shy
OF sampling capacity. To handle the
business Which is sure to be offered the
company is now preparing to erect
works at T~onopah, and | am told to hold
myself in readiness to prepare h plans
and build the Tonopah mill"
Mr.. Bernson said he intended to re-
main home about ten days and then
leave for Il roundup Of the Goldfield
camp. at is almost beyond comprehcn-
sion,'' he says, ''the amount OF ore, or
at least the value Of the ore, that iscom-
ing from the Goldfield and Tonopah
camps. One day last week II run Of ten
hours was made at the sampling mill at
Reno, and the management figured that
800 worth of ore vent through the
crushcrs every minute during the ten
hours.
ITO facilitate the shipping and reduce
the risks OF loss through theft said
Mr.. Benson, "this very rich ore is in
variablv mixed with ore of less value, so
the consignneuts, ;is they reach the
smcltcrs, give little idea of some Of the
sampler runs which are made"

A BURDEN.

In voting upon the capital question
every citizen will be Influenced to a
great degree by personal considera
tons. Taxpayers of Albany county
have already paid a large sum toward
the construction OF state buildings.
They will be called upon from year to
year to pay interest and principal for
several decades. 1t is therefore highly
improbable that they will vote to
change the location of the capital and
thus foist upon the state an additional
burden of perhaps a half million dol
lars.
This is the immediate financial bur.
den hat would be entailed upon our
people. In addition. If the capital were
removed to either of the places nomi-
mated. it would cost residents of this
county several times as much as 1T
does at the present time.
Viewed from any standpoint the vot.
ers Of Albany county should be a unit
in favor OF Cheyenne. And they should
not forget to vote.-Laramie Repub-
ncan-

FOR CHEYENNE
sundanee Monitor Can See No Good
Reason for Changing Capital.

sundanee Monitor Can See No Good
Reason for Changing Capital.
A number Of new and important
questions are to be voted on by the
people Of the state at the November
election, and 1t is time the voters were
f~amiliarizing themselves with the sub
Jects. If they have not already done so.
Two years ago the voters of Crook
county allowed to go by default an
opportunity to refund the bonded in
debtedness and start anew upon the
governmental voyage.
This year the question of increasing
the salaries of supreme and district
Judges will be submitted in the form
Of a proposed amendment to the state
constitution. All voters should vote
yes or no on the proposition. The
particulars are contsined in a legal
notice which has been published in the
Monitor for several weeks
The question of the location OF the
capital of the state will also come up
for decision by the voters, the question
having been submitted by the Legisla-
ture- Four candidates are now in the
ield-Cheyenne. Casper. Lander and
Rock Springs. 1t will require a ma
jority of all votes cast on the capital
location question to decide the matter.
The chances for the success of Cas-
per's candidacy seemed reasonably
bright until Lander and Rock Springs
entered the contest. Now. however, it
is a reasonable certainty that Chey-
enne will easily win the honors.
While the Monitor, as a representa-
tive of northern interests. would like
to see he seat OF government o
centrally located, it is doubtful if the
state can AFFORD at this time to as
sumo the enormous expense which
would be incurred in constructing the
necessary buildings in a new location.
The earning power of the state assess
ment system will be well nigh over
taxed in the effort to meet the in
creased salaries and pay for the new
offices created by the last Legislature.
Later on. If the north or central part
OF the state still desires the capital,
which will no doubt be the case, the
change could be made by constitu-
tional amendment. or adopting a new
constitution containing a provision for
changing the location. 1t is estimated
that to change the capital location at
this time would involve an expendi-
ture by the taxpayers of the state Of
between $3.50. 900 and $500. 900.
The Monitor has ever endeavored to
advocate economy in all matters. and
with Tue loyalty t. sectional interests
we ask the voters to consider well be
fore saddling upon the taxpayers a
burden of taxation which would be OF
very doubtful benefit at this time

A DISTINGUISHED VIEW.

The towns of Casper, Lander and
Rock Springs have each become candi
dates for the state capital, thus max.
ing a cinch of it hat it will remain
where it is-at nne. From a dis
interested poiI view Cheyenne is
at present the best place for it, as it
is a railroad center and is more easily
reached by the mass of population
than any other town, to say nothing OF
the expense in transferring
the capital building from one town to
Guess this is a real Ease
wherein it Is best to "let well enough
Rlone."-Lusk Herald.

R~ANCHMAN'S OPINION.

A Carbon county %ranchman said the
other day that after investigating the
capital removal question that it looked
like a conspiracy to deiraud the state
out of a sum necessary to construct the
required buildings in some other town.
Add to this the amount of the depre-
citation in value OF the present build
ings at Cheyenne and 1t means a loss
OF from $3.50. 900 to $1,000. 0O0.-Raw-
Inns Republican.

SATISFIED.

The people Of Laramie will hardly
endorse the attempt to remove the
capitol from Cheyenne to Casper.
Cayenne has good railroad facilities,
state. n to Laramie people at least
1t would be a great Inconvenience to
have to spend two days in travelling
way when business calls them to
the state capitol.-Laramie Boomer

ed on the great amount OF work which
had been done by the club on the
registration books, and urged the
members to register the full strength

The general trend of the speakers

was the closing and paving of the Bill

COMPANY WAS LIABLE
BUT NOT MISS KlDDER
That Was Intention of Verdict in
Interesting Damage Suit.


Interesting Damage Suit.
When the jury in the damage suit of
Edward Murrell VS.. Miss Kathervn
Kidder returned a verdict yesterday
for the plaintiff, against the "Katheryn
Kidder Company" for 5000. counsel for
Miss Kidder interposed an objection
as no such case had been on trial.
The original petition read for claim
against Mics Kidder, and the conten-
ton of the defense all the while was
that she was not personally, nor was
her manager, responsible for the dam
ages sustained by the plaintiff.
The court instructed the jury on this
point, and after an explanation from
Foreman Van Keuren that the verdict
was meant to be directed at the COM
pany, and not personally at Miss Kid
der the jury was instructed to retire
and make up another verdict, which
they did, finding in favor of Miss Kid
der.
The meaning of the first verdict re-
turned by the jury was that 1t believed
the plaintiff was entitled to some dam
ages, but that Miss Kidder was not the
one liable, but the company, which has
long since disbanded. The attachment
against former Manager Murray still
stands. and will be heard.

PEACH BUDS UNINJURED
BY RECENT COLD SPELL.
Inspection of Peach Farms Promises
Usual Crop for This Year.

Inspection of Peach Farms Promises
Usual Crop for This Year.
Every indication is that the peach
yield this year will be as large as ever.
Maj. G. M. Ryals is confident that the
cold spells have had no i'll effect on the
buds, and there is not the slightest in
dication of any falling off in the crop
There is no reason for any appre
hension regarding the peach crop this
year. the recent cold wave having left
no appreciable effect" said Mai. Ryals
in discussing the peach crop. THE
conditions this year have been favor
able to the yield rather than the re-
verse. When the cold is steady and
continued there is no danger. 1t is
the early spring followed soon by a
cold wave which gives the dreaded
setback. This year. however, the cold
has been continued and there has been
no breaks of any consequence.
Peaches bud in the fall and these
buds lie dormant during the winter
Until there is a continued warm spell
which sets the sap running and which
causes the blossoms to swell there is
no danger of a freeze. This year we
have had almost ideal weather for
peaches. 1t is customary for peach
growers to scrape away the earth
from the roots of the trees each winter
in order that the blossoms may not
open too soon. This year the con-
tinued cold has had the effect of fur
nishing a natural hold-back, though in
many cases the earth was scraped
away.
when in Macon l had several long
talks with peach growers in that sec
ton. They all agreed that the out
look for a good yield this year was
very bright and that there had been
no i'll effects of the cold spells. / have
heard nothing which would indicate
that the buds had been injured, not
even a rumor to that effect.
"Other products" he continued, "are
also showing signs of coming around
all right. The peas which were set
out some time ago were above ground
when the recent cold wave settled
down over us, and yet these do not
seem to have been injured in the
slightest degree. There is no reason,
as far as 1 can discover, why there
should be any apprehension regarding
peaches, or any of the products of
Georgia truck farms"

JUDGE CANN RENDERED
DECISION ON DEMURRERS
S. A. L. Lost Out in Points Made in
Stewart Case.

Stewart Case.
Judge Cam handed down his de-
cision on three demurrers in the sec
ond section of the Superior Court yes
terday.
The first three grounds set forth in
the demurrer of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway to the petition of S. c. Stew
art, for damages he alleges he suffered
by reason of sparks from an engine
to grass in pastures on his place, six
miles from Savannah, thereby destroy
ing his fences and releasing sixty
nine head of cattle, thirty-six of
which were lost, were overruled, but
the last ground in which the defend
ants demurred to the claim of 1884 for
expenses in collecting the cattle was
sustained. The total amount claimed
by the petitioner was 1872.
All of the grounds of the demurrer
of the Merchants and Miners Trans
portation Company to the amended pc
tition of George w. Lowden were over
ruled. The original petition of the
plaintiff was for judgment against the
defendant company for the loss of a
cargo of tin cans stored on board the
sloop Mercedes, which was run down
by one of the ships of the defendant
company. The plaintiff also asked for
$500 additional for losses sustained by
his having to close down his factory,
caused by the loss of the cans with
which he was to operate.
In his decision of the demurrer of
Mrs. ]. H. Cavanaugh and James F.
Butler, action to enforce lien, Judge
Cam overruled seven grounds and sus7
tanned four grounds, and gave the
plaintiff five days in which to amend
its petition in conformity with the rul-
ing. The action is for $175 balance
claimed to be due on a contract for
painting.
