ICE NINE
In West Virginia Supplies a County
With Cold Storage.

| wheeling (W. Va.) Cor. Chicago In
ter Oceon.)
The greatest natural curiosity in
West Virginia is the ice mountains
in Hampshire county.
The mountain, which is 1000 or s.
900 feet in height, is situated about
16 to Is miles beyond Romney, on a
mountain road, and is known to many
of the people thereabouts as the
mountain of ice.''
One side Of the mountain-the wes-
tern--is covered from apex to the
rivers edge with loose ore or shale
to the breadth Of at least a quarter of
mile. Beneath this shaly rock, no
matter at what season of the year,
there is always plenty Of ice to be
found. When the natives want to
get supply of ice they go to the
mountain, lift up some Of the fiat
stones, and dig or pick out all the
ice they want. Ice has been got there
as late in the season as September 10,
and that always near the surface.
The people say that there is plenty
Of ice the year round, only requiring
little deeper digging to get it.
Snakes and other reptiles which seek
to cross the spot on which ice is found
freeze and become torpid before they
succeed, as the frozen and dead bod
les of many found lying on top Of
the ground 90 to show.
Nothing will grow on or near the
ice deposit: it is too cold for that.
Below. at the foot of the mountain,
progressive farmer has built big
log dairy or cold storage house. The
log structure has been erected partly
in and partly beyond the earth, and
the interstices between the logs for
the depth of several feet on the noun
tain side are packed full and tight
with ice. while the same frozen liquid
covers the floor to the depth of sew
eral inches.
No effort is made to keep out rep
tiles, for, although meat, butter,
eggs, &C., are kept in the dairy, as it
is called, snakes and other such YER
min always become torpid before they
can do mischief.
This strange curiosity has been
known for some time, but only lately
have the people concluded to put it
to use.
The only explanation Of the freak
given by persons familiar with the ice
mountain is that the part of the
mountain where the ice is found is
composed of loose rock Or shale, and
that during the rainy seasons the
spaces in the loose rock are filled with
water, which during the long, hard
winters which prevail in that section
freeze so solid that the heat and rains
of summer never reach it strong en-
oueh to melt it.

Perhaps no place in the country
furnishes a more striking example Of
growing old gracefully than is seen in
the case of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter T.
Carpenter, of this city. Both are now
past 90 years Of age and for more
than seventy years they have been
travelling life's road together Des-

see him riding horseback, sitting as

to the garb that was once distin-

1t is announced that Richard Croker
is coming over from England to "buy
some colts for his Vantage farm"
The report may be true, but there are
many that will believe that other
matters are causing the former boss
return at this time. Even though
he now does make his home in Eng
land he has not lost all interest in
matters political in this country and
some one of his persuasive powers is
sadly needed just about now in New
York to patch up matters between
Tammany and the rest of the party.

BOTH ARE GOOD.

So far as the republicans are con-
rerned the campaign has opened in
Yellowstone county, and from now on
the democrats will know that they
have an enemy in the field. After
the fight shall have ended they will
know it even better.
In their convention last Saturday
the republicans named a ticket and
adopted a declaration of principles
with which to go before the voters
and ask their support for the candi-
dates nominated. The ticket is a good
one and is representative of the par
ty. The platform upon which it stands
has much to commend it, although de-

people. To this it owes it's past sue.

mental principle of voicing the pop

Because of a condition existing in
the state the platform favors direc'

power for evil possessed by the rail
road companies operating in the state
evoked a declaration favorable to the
creation of a railroad commission. AnG

PARTIcuLARlzE, PLEASE.

If not regarded as too impertinent.
the Butte Miner is respectfully re-
uuested to enumerate some OF the
laws comforting substantial benefits
on the masses" which it declares
were all placed upon the statute books
of the republic by the democratic
party.
The homestead law is one of those
popularity believed to confer more or
less of substantial benefits upon the
masses, yet this is recognized. as a
distinctively republican measure.
Then there is the law which made
slavery a thing of the past. In many
quarters the republicans are held re-
sponsible for it's enactment. This,
too, is regarded as among the statu-
tory enactments more or less benef-
cial to a considerable portion of the
nations population. No democrat has
ever been heard to claim for his par
ty the credit for it's existence. An
other law regarded as beneficial to the
masses gave the nation a sound and
recognized basis for it's currency.
| Surely the Miner will not claim that
| democrats enacted it, not after all
it's abuse of the republican party for
daring to place it among the nations
| statutes.
Another law that comes to mind
for which the masses are indebted to
the republican party is the Sherman
antitrust act. A republican framed
it, a republican congress passed it
and a republican president attached
his signature to it. Casually it may
also be mentioned that after a demo-
cratic attorney general had scoffed
and sneered at it as being %unconsti-
tutional a republican successor, at the
instigation of a republican president,
successfully prosecuted an illegal com
bination under it's provisions and it
stands today upheld by the highest
court in the land. True it is that a
democratic minority dissented from
the majority opinion affirming the
validity of the law, but that only
strengthens the republican claim fol
the credit for its enactment.
These are only a few of the benes
fetal laws having an existence upon
the statute books of the republic thai
the democratic party did not place
there. Consequently the esteemed
Butte contemporaries assertion tina
"every law comforting substantial ben
eits on the masses owes it's exist
ence as a part of the republics stat
utes to the patriotism and wisdom
of the democratic party is open tx
question.

of it's inhabitants" he believes no
time should be lost in publishing the
results Of his study of the question.

Inasmuch as the republican county
convention placed itself on record as
favoring a state railroad commission
and has pledged it's nominees to the
support of the necessary legislation
for the creation of such a body, it is
to be regretted that it did not lay
a proper foundation for the declara-
ton by the adoption of another and
collateral plank. 1t should have
adopted a resolution declaring against
the acceptance of the usual "courte'
sizes" from the railroads. There is nc
excuse for legislators or other pub.
lie officials accepting such quasi
brides, and the public is likely to
have a great deal more faith in a
representative and senator who are
known to be absolutely under no OBJ
legations to them than in one who is
known to travel on a pass. This ap'
plies to all branches of the public
service, legislative, executive and jul
Gicial.
