New Copper Camp Is Booming.

GREENwATER, Cal, Sept. 1.-THE
excitement over the copper deposits
discovered recently in this district is
on the increase. Hundreds of men
have braved the desert to get into Inyo
county and locate prospects in the new
geld, 60 miles south of Bullfrog. 1t
is stated that during the past two
weeks sales aggregating a grand total
OF s4,l25, 900 have been made and the
price of everything In the district has
shot sky.high.
Patsy Clark's property is now
valued at 50, 600, 900. The Kemp group
is valued at 900, 600. The Copper
Cliff group was bought last week for
$500, 600. Prices Of property that lies
in the district have in 20 days gone
from 800 or 5000 up to $40, 900 aud
higher.
Such men as Schwab, Heinze, Ira
w. Clark, II. H. Clark, Malcolm Nc.
Donald, Donald Gillis and Senator
Nixon are represented in the district.
They are spending money right and
left for every property that is pur.
chasable and are rushing development
work as fast as men and supplies can
be hurried into the district.
Conditions of labor are most diff.
cult. The heat Is terrific. Water
costs from IS to $40 a barrel and is
hauled into the district by mules that
cost 90 a day for feed. A bath is not
allowed in the new camp: water is too
scarce and precious to be used for
bathing purposes, and rattlesn axes
and desert vermin are thick. The
"Borax' Smith road will pass within

silver Bow County Official Issued MANY
Fraudulent Warrants,

BUTTE. Sept. IL The returns from
the examiners engaged in checking up
the records OF William P. Farrell.
chief deputy clerk of the courts, bring
the amount OF his embezzlement up to
more than $4,000 and the work of
checking him up is mot nearly com.
pleted.
There is no doubt that a great many
more fraudulent warrants will be
found. The examiners begin to sus.
pect that Farrell's populations were
no confined to the Davies administra-
ton, In which he served as chief depu.
ty since January l, 1905. 1t develops
that he started Immediately upon his
appointment, and lost no time In filing
out fraudulent warrants. The first
warrant he issued as chief deputy was
for %, and that warrant has been
found to be good: the second warrant,
issued five days later. for s69, was,
however, fraudulent. 1t is considered
a reasonable assumption that if he
had an opportunity to do so while act
ing as deputy clerk under the previous
administration he practiced the came
tricks.
Although the records OF his later
fraudulent transactions show a re.
markable crudeness and recklsseness,
his work all through was not so.
Some was remarkably clever, which
adds evidence to the theory that his
later ~recklessness was due to an effort
to get all he could in anticipation of
leaving the state. It has been dis.
covered that Farrell employed three
distinct styles of handwriting in his
fraudulent work and experts who have
examined them declared that no two
OF them can be identified as the hand.

and well.known hand he could fill out

CHOOSING SENATORS AT PRIMARIES.

That there is q steadily growing
sentiment in favor of selecting candi-
dates for the United States senate by
popular vote is evident in the en-
preston given to it in various pri-
mary elections, says the Spokesman.
Review. AS popular elections can
not be brought about save by a change
in the constitution, and there is
scarcely a possibility Of securing this,
q number of the states have adopted
the plan of nominating by primaries,
thereby imposing on the legislature
the moral although not legal reponsi.
bility OF acting in accordance with the
primary vote.
According to a summary Of recent
results, United States senator's were
nominated by primary vote in IL
southern states this summer. The
sentiment for popular election OF sen.
ators appears. indeed, to be more
deeply grounded in the south than in
some other parts of the country, but
the new idea 10 gathering weight in
the north and the west.
In Illinois quite recently Senator
Cullom was SO emphatically Endorsed
at a primary that the legislature
would hardly dare submit to any at.
tempted manipulation against him.
In Iowa the conventions of both par.
ties have declared in favor of this
method OF selecting senators. In Wis.
consin a similar step has been taken.
Vermont and New Hampshire are ag.
itating the proposed reform. In Idaho
the choice of the convention OF that
party which captures the Legislature
will be elected. Oregon votes for sen.
atorial candida tes at party primaries.
In Michigan a change to the new
method was demanded at the republic
can convention. 1t is said, in fact,
that practically one half of the states
in which the election OF senator is now
an issue on account OF the expiration
Of terms of Office have adopted the re.
form.
A Legislature is, of course, not le-
gally bound to elect the choice of a
primary, but the majority members of
any Legislature failing to recognize
the expressed will of the party to
which they belong would be prac-
committing political suicide.

A Death Blow To Popultsm.
n City Journal.

Kansas City journal.
Who would have thought q dozen
years ago that there would aver arise
in Kansas q lar bold enough to strike
a blow at the pride of populism and
the stronghold of calamity? But now
comes Brigadier General Whit, com.
handing the Kansas national guard,
and Issues q ukase prohibiting the
Sunflower troops at Fort Riley from
wearing whiskers more than half an
inch long. What's half an inch to
those who measure their populism by
the foot?
No wonder the populists have de.
cided to take the middle of the road,
when on either hand they see frowning
at them from the unrelenting trees this
dire procurement. Henceforth what
is left of organized despair in Kansas
must wander like an Ismaelite, his
hand against his beard and every
other mans reaching for it too. For
when you strike a blow at the sapling,
you are tearing up the roots of the
wind .defying oak.
If the sons of populists who are
bravely standing up for their country
In the ranks of the citizens of soldiery
of the state may not wear whiskers
more than q half an inch long, how
long will it Re before state BARRIERS
will be stalking abroad armed with
authority to cleave the flowing boards
from the sepulchral faces of the elders
in the faith? And with their whiskers
gone, what will there be left of popu.
lism: How are you going to tell a
pop from a corporation democrat VITO
has to swallow Bryan?
There was q time in the halcyon
days of disaster, when the merry tin.
kle of the sheritf's hammer announced
another notice of f~oseclosure, when
the grinning mailman brought news
OF o notes gone to protest, when a
jolly vail of gleeful misery when up
from one end of the state to the other
and the populist was in his element
there was q time in those days when it
was said that Kansas raised more
shay, hades and whiskers" than any
other state in the union. The hay
crop has not diminished, but Mrs.
Lease has moved away and even Mrs.
Nation only returns to have an occas.
ional spasm, and this has done much
to curtail production in the matter Of
sheol. Now General Whit has struck
q deadly blow at the remnants of the
populist industrial trinity.
