A Remarkable Specimen.

The Salt Lake Tribune states that
John Petrie, an old-time Nevada
prospector, who located the Santa
Clara groups Of copper mines near
Goode springs in June, brought to
Caliente a unique specimen of ore
from his mines, 1t was a two.foot
cube of granite, broken through the
center and hung together by a dozen
or o strands OF wire copper. He
also had a specimen Of copper ore
woven with copper, resembling a
BIRDS nest, taken from a l3O-foot
tunnel in the ledge.

Arrested for Poisoning quail

A gentleman who has arrived in
Austin from Muddy valley says that
during the past month the quails have
died by the hundreds, and several
farmers were arrested for poisoning
them. At the trial two physicians
testified that the quails had died of
appendicitis from getting gaape
seeds in their appendix, and not
from poison. The farmers were then
discharged.-Reveille.

LEAD PROTECTION.
Its Beneficial Effects on the
Tariff on Lead.

In a speech delivered by Senator
Fairbanks to the miners of Butte,
Montana, on the 26th ult pertinently
referred to the beneficial effects OF
the tariff on lead. 1t appealed d.
rectly to his hearers, because they
are interested in the industry and
have suffered from the effects of for
eign competition under the Wilson
tariff law of 1895, which admitted all
foreign lead ores and products free,
and have proited since the passage
of the Dingley tariff act of 1897,
which imposes a tax on all foreign
lead imports for the protection of the
domestic products.
Under the influence of the removal
of the tax on lead by the Wilson tar
if act, the importations of pigs and
bars jumped from 1859, 791 pounds,
valued at 1929, 900 in 1893, to 49,
1853, 529 pounds. worth 1885, 96 in
1894, and to 100, 551, 0S2 pounds,
worth So, 052, 200 in 1895. The inn
mediate effect of the Dingley tariff
act was to reduce the importations
of foreign lead ores from 45, $50, GA
pounds, valued at 1857, 222, and OF
pigs and bars from 109, SOL ,082
pounds, valued, as already stated, at
50, 052, 209 in 1895 to 81, 036, 49,
pounds of ores and dross, valued al
1891, ll6, and 81 SOP pounds of pigs
and bars, worth So, 1877 in 1898.
Under the stimulus OF a protective
tariff lead mining has been encour.
aged in all the states and territories
producing that metal. In 1894 the
total production of lead In the United
States was 1862, $50 tons. In 1897 il
reached 2l2, 900 tons, and the follow
ing year 222. 600 tons. In 1900 the
total production amounted to 270, 49,
tons, and since then 1t has not gone
below that figure, Besides, the pro
tective taritf imposed upon lead anC
its products has stimulated domesti,

eminent degree. That tariff was i'm
posed at the special request of tb'
lead miners and shelters of the coun

LEAVE FOR GOLDFIELD.
COmstOck Loses One of Its Most
Energetic Citizens.


George D. Pyne leaves to. morrow
morning for Goldfeld to cast his for
tunes with that camp. The Com
stocks loss is Goldfeld's gain. Mr..
Pyne was born and raised in Virginia,
worked in the mines and studied law
during his spare moments, and was
admitted to the bar in 1894.
When the war with Spain was de-
clared, in 1898, he abandoned a lucra-
tive practice and volunteered in the
u. S. army. After being mustered
out he returned to this city and re.
sumed the practice Of law. In 1900
he was elected district attorney and
superintendent of schools and in 1902
was reelected.
Mr.. Pyne is not only enc of the
leading lawyers OF the state but one
of the most energetic. He served a
term as a%ssemblyman from this
county, casting his first vote on the

Americas Greatest Gold Mine

The Homestake mine at Black

mine in America. For 1904 its bull
lion receipts we're a, 500, 558 4s from
1893, 057 tons of ore valued at $3,695
per ton, which showed an increased
value of Is cents 6 mills over the
gross tonnage miIled last year. The
dividend for the year was 1855, 20O
equal to about fifty cents per ton Of
ore crushed. This was the 3l2th
continuous dividend, the first having

The Recent Election.

Speaking OF the recent election
the Irish American has the follow
ing to say:
The Presidential contest is over;
and Mr. Roosevelt is to be continued
in Office for four years more,-his
election having been achieved by
majority 80 much larger than that
by which Mckinley was returned
that it at once reveals the secrets of
the magnitude of that majority, and
the trsaehery by which the chosen
candidates of the Democracy were
defeated. No one familiar with the
drift of American politics during
the last twelve years, can be at loss
to account fer the sudden and unex-
planned swelling of the Republican
vote, in districts where, formerly, it
barsly escaped being classsd as a
hopeless minority, to the proper
tions of an overwhelming majority
in the late election. Not even the
most enthusiastic Republican could
pretend to believe that the party
had SO suddenly grown in popularity
that a candidate, previously un
known in its history, should unsx-
pectedly exceed all it's former sue-
cssses, without any increase in the
agencies to which those SUCCESSES
were attributable, and without any
prsntsnsions to an increase of
personal popularity in the interven-
ing period. The Trusts, which owe
so mueh to Mckinley for his agency
in snlarRing their already over
swollen profits, could not do more
than they had previously done fer
his sucessaor,-and.in some respects,
they were inclined to do less,-for,
they were not sure that Roosevelt
might not turn on them, if he
thought il would be to hla adgau-
tage to do SO. The regular Rspub-
licau vote has not Increased in
volume since the last eleetion;-on
the oontTary, it has ehrunk, owing

TO PURIFY THR BALLOT.

The Use Of The Axe,

Reports are daily coming into US OF
the discharge being made OF many
lahorers employed on the various
public works, undertaken as 90 ante
election method of winning votes,
the chief reason being that they all
voted or are supposed to have voted
the Democratic or Home Rule tick
cts. 1t is even said that Home
Rulers are being employed, in GER
tain instances, in preference to al
legged aRd known Democrats.

den and overwhelming accession to
its magnitude Fortunately, we
we are not left in doubt on the
matter. One OF Mr. Bryan's former
lieutenants, in this State, in an in
terview with a representative of q
leading daily journal, revealed the
method of procedure. "The Demo.
Gratis who put Parker forward as
their representative" he said, "fout.
ed us (Populists) in the Conventions
of 1896 and 1910, and the electisns
that followed. The chance for our
revenge came this year: we took it;
and the result is the overwhelming
defeat OF Parker" This shallow
politician, in the exultation OF his
gratified malice, did not take time
to anslyzs the conclusion to be
drawn from his own disclosure,
which reveals at once the most in
famous and shameless conspiracy
ever organized in American politics,
and the secret OF Roosevslt's mai
ority; for, every vote 80 distracted
from the Democratic column, and
added to that OF the Republicans,
counted double,-one substraeted
from the Parker total, and one add
ed to that of his opponent. We
foresaw the probability OF this move,
and warned the managers of the
Democratic campaign against it;
but 1t is hard to guard against
treachery from within. Those who
practice it, however. should not be
allowed to escape the just retribu-
tion due to such fagitious betrayal
of the most sacred of human prin-
ciples. For them, there should be
no future in political life, save one
marked by the scorn and contempt
of all right thinking men; and any
attempt of theirs to push themselves s
forward again, in political affairs,
should be repelled with all ,hs vigor
with which honest citizens should
resist the intrusion into their ranks
OF men resking with the foul lsprosy
of political trsa1on. No speeious
cssuistry can persuade thinking
American that combination of the
falsehood of Judas and the treaoh-
cry of Benedict Arnold can be re-
vampsd into new party that
should meet with any other fate
than the adherence and rejection Of
all who value truth aud principle.

was all nothing but "hip, hip,

rush work to do, water pipso had o
be laid, trenches dug aud the streets
