Montgomery, May 1s.-(Special THE

of Sonne ColSer. in Monroe county, seals
his fate, and leaves nothing between him
and the death sentence but the pardon

given the death sentence, there are many
who think it rather severe and already
there is talk of asking the governor 10

Foster Appointed.
After more than a week of suspense on
the part of those interested, the governor
this afternoon appointed J. F. Foster to
be probate judge of Wilcox county, sue
cetding James r. Beck, who died two
weeks ago. Mr.. Foster was for several
years clerk of the circuit court and is
now editing a paper at Camden. He was
a captain in the Third Alabama regiment,
c. s. A.. and is well known in every sec
ton of the state.
The vacancy in the probate judgship in
Wilcox county brought out six candidates
for the honors, f. \. Jones. W. j. Bon
ner. n. d. Godbold. j. F. Foster, Joe Lam

and Ii was not Mr.. Foster for he came
in after several others were announced,
filed an application for the vacancy so
soon after the death of Judge Beck as to
call forth a rebuke of such haste from
the governor. He did not call any names,
but let II be known through the papers
that he would not consider applications to
fill places of dead men until reasonable
and decent time after they had died.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
CHARACTER IN MINING.
W. c. Black, Editor

THERE are SO many wildcat schemes in the mining business
1 that the following from the Mining Review will prove of
interest:
while the intrinsic value of a mining property is of vital inn
portance when it comes to making plans for its operation and
development, the first question that is asked when the enterprise
is presented to the public for co operation and fnancial. assistance
is, "Who are the men who are back ofit?" What is the reputa-
ton of those whose names are given as officers and directors of
company?' Are they men of good character and are they men of
good standing in the community in which they reside?'
No thinking man will make an investment i'll the stock of a
the management is of doubtful character; when he knows or be
leves, that the president of The company is lacking in standing; is
dishonest and would be willing ito milk the public with a prop.
erty of no apparent merit, or would make misstatements and ex-
aggerated reports, no matter how good the property in question
may be. What the investor wants to know, after satisfying him
self as to the prospective value and possibilities of any mining
property presented for his consideration, is rs the company on
they engaged in legitimate mining with the earnest intention of
making money out of the mine and not out of the gullible stock
buvers?'
1t goes without saying that a reputable and experienced
mining man will not become associated, in his interests, with a
mining proposition devoid of actual merit, and if his associates
are men of the same character no difficulty need be experienced in
financing the enterprise as people will flock to his standard by
banner, that at least they have had a square deal and an honest
run for their money.
Character i'll mining is nearly as important a factor as is
the possession of a property of good prospective, if not actual
and established merit.

CONGRESSMAN {. d. VAN DUZER, of this state is now III
the lmeight, charged by Mrs. Mary E. Fairfax, of Washington,
d. {, acknowledgements. She alleges in her com plant that Van
Duzer induced her to invest $7CO in the c. d. Van Duzer Gold
Mining Company, under certain promises that have never been
fulfilled. 1t seems to be decidedly the fashion nowadays for
members OF Congress TO get into trouble, ard this latest effort
OF the representative from this state, is we'll in keeping with the
various crimes charged to Depew, Mitchell Hermann, Burton
and the balance. The Wells Herald, a staid democratic organ.
and a journal that has espoused Van Duzer's cause on more
than one occasion demands Van Duzers resignation. If the
charge of Mrs. Fairfax is true this demand should be seconded bv
every self respecting citizen in the State of Nevada. 1t it is not
true it is up to Mr.. Van Duzer to make a speedy explanation, that
his name can be expurged.

WHERE YOUTH HAS OPPORTUNITY.

NEVADA is today the Mecca for thousands of young men
' throughout the more settled portions of he country who
are seeking an opportunity to break away from the limitations
of other communities. A young mans best chance is in a new
country, where things are in the making, where naked nature is
to be broken to civilization, superabundant energy is perhaps
more needed than wisdom gained from experience of other con-
ditions. The whole West has been built up by young men, and
the latest portion oft to hold out inducements for settlement
will chiefly attract those in whom the instinct for independent
effort is strongly developed-Searchight
