NEWS OF THE MINES.
A Budget of Notes About Elk
City and OrOgrande.


City and Orogrande.
The following news is clipped
from the last issue of the Mining |
News, published at Elk City. The
paragraphs are not published to
indicate any big boom in mining at
present, but to remind one Of the
fact that these two camps are
steadily producing gold, which is
all any camp is expected to do.
Around Elk City, especially, some
good work is being done and the
properties are showing up to the best
advantage. The recent heavy
rains have made things look excel
lent for mining purposes through
out the mountains. One of the
best seasons in the history Of Idaho
county mines may be looked for
next season.
But for the activity around the
shop and the machinery plant on
the Buster mine and the appearance
of several men at work in the tim
ber, there is nothing on the sur
face that would indicate to the
visitor that extensive development
work is in progress on this proper
ty. But the fact is, there are just
as many men at work as there were
two weeks ago, but all the work is
now under ground and the men
are working in three shifts.
i The most of the labor is employ
ed in constructing the raise, though
a large part Of the station room
J was formed in the starting of the
. raise. The raise will be about 20
feet high at present, or just high
enough for the derrick to be used
in constructing the shaft. 1t will
later be extended to the surface.
The.Anaconds company has nine
men atwork. A 1000 foot tunnel is a
: part of the work planned for this
winter, 500 feet of which is now
} completed.
Geo. f. Mackey, who located an
extention of the Georgia on Pilot
Knob a short time ago, is getting
. good results in his development
work. He has opened cut 43 fee

Again civilization got in its work
with the conclusion that these pub
lie exhibitions brutalized the spec

they were intended to prevent and
punish. Now criminals are hung
inside of Enclosures and only a few
select witnesses are brutalized by
the grewsome performance. This

Portable and luxur,antly cushioned

Civilization will soon relegate this
final method of taking life to the
ash heap, where it belongs.
The fatal defect of the capital
punishment theory is that it cheap
ems life instead of magnfying it.

ton, but the law takes plenty Of

can understand how the atheist
or the materialist with their ideas
of the nothingness of this life and
the hereafter can consistently be-
lieve in capital punishment. but
how a Christian, one believing in
the Bible, In Immortality and in the
preparedness necessary in this
world for bliss in the next, and of
the awful conditions of the lost
throughout eternity, can believe in
and consent to a theory that would
plunge a human soul into that eter-
nifty and into that immortality I'M
prepared is beyond my comprehen-
sion.

he doesn't. Would the time ever

the black cap, fixing the moose,
springing a trap and pIunging an
immortal soul into eternity?
If capital punishment, therefore,
is wrong, inherently wrong, it's re-
suits cannot be good any more than
thistles can grow figs, and hence
it must be true, as stated, that
crime abounds to a greater extent
in states having capital punish
ment than in states which have
abolished this barbarism.
AS to Kansas, l do not believe
there are 100000 people anywhere
else on earth more prosperous,
more law abiding and less afflicted
with crime and its consequences,
and where human life is safer.

ly on the order of the governor.
No governor ever has and l think

/ believe it ought to be repealed,
not because of its nonenfOrcement
but because II is a foolish provision
which makes its execution optional
with the governor, with no proba-
bility that he will ever exercise the
option but in one way.
The evolution of civilization is
perhaps attested in no field better
than in the field of penology. Civil
lization has changed the old theory
and practices concerning penalties
for crime. Formerly it was infiict-
ed as a matter of justice in the
sense of an eye for an eye, a tooth
