THE ANNOUNCEMENT that the
L Salt Lake route is prepared to
handle passengers and outfits bound
for the new mining camps of Tonopah,
Goldfeld and Bullfrog, New, is i'm
portant TO Salt Lake. II Is Important
a well, 20 those who are thinking of
soing into the camps from which so
many lattering reports have lately
been coming. A great advantage about
going to Bullfrog.~ Goldheld or Tono-
Iah, all Of which are close together. by
the new route, is the fact that there is
a good stretch of unprospected coun-
tIy between the railroad and the
camps.
Prospectors will leave the road at
Las Vegas and strike overland a dis
lance of 1870 miles to Bullfrog, which
is closest. Officials of the railroad adj
wise that outfits be secured i'm Salt
Lake. Horses. wagons and supplies
can all be purchased here and shipped
at reasonable rates to Las Vegas. From
there to Bullfrog is a matter of only
three or four days travel by way of
Good Springs, Manse and Ash Mead
ows or Montgomery. There is plenty
&C first class water all along the route,
So that those VINO desire to take their
time need have no fear on this ac-
count
Parties who have been over the route
pronounce it not only practicable, but
thoroughly comfortable The virgin
territory makes IT a specially desirable
way to go, for there is no doubt but
that some first class mines will be
opened i'm that section within the next
few years. The first men on the
ground are the men that will get the
desirable properties. The Herald
hopes that the good fortune viii fall

advantage Of their opportunities.

AMEs is FREE.

= OAfETHING Is RADICALLY wrong
~ about the administration of JUS
tice in Minneapolis. At least It seems
practically impossible to deal out jus
tice TO former Mayor Ames. Ames
was once convicted of receiving money
unlawfulIy while in office. There was
not the slightest doubt about his guilt.
The evidence was complete and conciu-
slve. The case was appealed and the
supreme court, on a bare technicaIity,
ordered new trial for the defendant.
II has never been possible since to con-
Met Ames.
His fifth trial was concluded in Min
neapolis the other day and again the
jury disagreed Ames, of course. had
one or more friends on IT, We are
led TO the conclusion that he was care
less at the first hearing and permitted
a jury composed entirely of honest men
TO be sworn. Since then ne has. been
taking no chances. He has seen to it
that his juries have contained one man.
at least. who would not vote fol-, con-
yiction under any circumstances, and
a unanimous verdict is required by the
law in criminal cases.
The prosecution cannot now be
blamed severely for its action in de-
Ginning to push its case against Ames
further. 1t is quite apparent. even to
the most casual observer, that it is
rot possible to land Ames in the penl-
tertiary. Even il he should by some
queer chance have been convicted in
the trial court the supreme court would
have found some excuse for reversing
the finding About the only punish
ment that can be administered to Ames
viii be his exclusion from the society
3f decent people wherever he may go.

TRAFFIC ABANDONED

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 3-With a renewal

and provisions has grown more serious
than ever in the Thumb district of Mich
igan, or the region lying between Saginaw
bay and the lower end of Lake Huron.

but is having less difficulty on its main
lines. No trains have been run over the
Grand Trunk line to-day between Durand
and Saginaw, and trains have moved to-
day on the Lake Shore road between Grand
Rapids, Mich, and Elkhart, Ind, and
trains entering Grand Rapids from the
north have all been from two 10 four hours
late.
Muskegon is practically isolated, except
for the interurban line. Two Pere Mar
quette trains are stalled in drifts near Ag-
new. The Allegan division of the Pere Mar
quette Is blocked. Two passenger trains
were stalled near Grand Junction all night,
and a third is snOw-bound at iceland. The
Pere Marquette has train buried at Scott
dale in ten feet of snow. The Three ~
line is unable TO move a train.
The Big Four succeeded in cutting a
train out OF drift near Hartman to-day.
IL had been tied I'D there for twenty-four
hours. Train service at Grand Haven is
almost paralyzed. The Detroit, Ypsilanti,
Ann Arbor & Jackson trolley line has sue
ceeded in running cars between Detroit and
Ypsilanti. but has not been able to reach
Ann Arbor and Jackson since early yester-
day afternoon.
A fine snow is falling steadily all over
southern Michigan, and a high wind is
causing IT TO drift badly. Farmers cannot
reach towns except by crossing fields. No
mails have been delivered for four days.

COSTS OF BANKRUPTCY
EXCEED THE LIABILITY
Lafayette Man Pays SIS in Fed
eral Court to Be Relieved of
SIS Due as Taxes.

CHICAGO, Feb. ga unique petition in
bankruptcy in behalf of Edwin S. Dill,
carpenter, was filed in the United States
District Court to-day by law firm of
Lafayette, Ind. The carpenters only debt,
according to the petition, is one of Sl5,
which he owes to the treasurer of Mont
gomery county, Indiana, for county and State
taxes. The only assets listed are a small
amount of personal property, which is
claimed to be exempt.
A peculiar feature is that merely the
filing of the bankruptcy proceedings costs
$35, exclusive of the attorneys fees Ac-
cording to the figuring of the court clerks
Dill could have saved at least $50 by paying
the taxes mentioned as his only debt.
