Were Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone Legally Extraditedl

In the case of Hyatt VS.. New
York, 1873 u. S. .691,5 the facts
showed that Hyatt was not in
the state of Tennessee at the
time charged in the indictment
found in Tennessee, nor at any
time when the acts complained
of were committed. In the
Moyer-Haywood cases tits con-
ceded that TIE defendants were
not in Idaho when Governor
Steunenberg was assassinated;
that Meyer had not been in this
state for months prior to Decem-
ber, and that Haywood and Pet
tibone had not been in Idaho for
years. In the. Hyatt case the
Supreme. Court of the United
States unanimously held that
Hyatt was not fugitive from
Justice and could not be extradit-
ed, and in the Moyer-Haywood
cases the supreme court of Idaho
held, in effect, that the appli-
cants for writs of habeas corpus
were fugitives from justice, and
also that the words who flee
from justice" meant persons who
flee from punishment but not
from place. The supreme court
of the United States, in the
Hyatt case, which is the latest
r decision of that court on the sub
ject of extradition, uses the fol
lowing language: THE langu'
age of Sec. 5278, Rev. Stat, pro

one who has fled from the de-
manding state, and he must have
fled (not necessarily directly) to
the state where he is found 1t
is difficult to see how person
can be said to have fled from the
state in which he is charged to
have committed some act amount
ing to a crime against that state,
when in fact he was not within
the state at the time the act is
said to have been committed.
How can a person flee, from a
place that he was not in? He
could avoid a place that he had
not been in; he could omit to go
to it; but how can it be said with
accuracy that he has. fled from a.
place in which he had not been
present? This is neither a mar
row, nor, as we think, an in
correct, Interpretation of the
statute, It has been IN existence
since 1898, and we have found
no case decided byathis court
wherein it hasbeen held that the
statuteyeovered.a a case where the
party was not in the state at the
time when thesact is alleged to
have been committed. We think
the plain meaning of the act re-
quires such presence, and that it
was not intended to include as q
fugitive from the justice of g
state, one who had not been in 6
state at the time wheny if ever
the offense .was committed, anC
who had not, therefore, in fact

John Sharp Williams, leader of
the democrats in the house Of
representatives, made a five hour
speech on the tariff question in
the house last week, and Since
that time every democrat who
gets a chance talks on the tariff
There seems to be plan on foot
among the democrats to discuss
the question during the remain
der of the session every time
they get an opportunity, and op-
portunities will be plentiful from
now on as several appropriation
bills, are yet to be considered, and
theseo offer splendid opportuni-
ties for such discussion.
1t is the UNANIMOUS opinion
among leading men here that the
tariff will be made the chief
slogan by the democrats next fall.
The republican leaders in con-
gress absolutely deny that there
is anything like a general senti-
ment in the country in favor of
revision of the tariff, and they
seera to be perfectly willing to
meet the democrats on this issue.
Very. likely every revision speech
made by a democrat will be fol-
lowed by a stand-pat speech by a
republican, and in this way
, things will be kept warm until
the end of the session.

speech in the senate on the rail-
road rate bill has been the source
Of a great deal of favorable COM
nient in the newspapers through
out the country. Some of the
largest newspapers in the east
referred to it as one of the ablest |
and most sensible of the great
number of speeches made on this
bill. Since he has been in the
senate, Senator Hepburn has re-
ceived very favorable considera-
ton from the newspapers all over
the country, except in the north
west. The following is a copy
of an article that appeared in the
Times-Union of Jacksonville,
Florida.
Senator Hepburn of Idaho, in
d remarkable speech on the rate
bill this week, practically took
congress by the ear and held it
while he delivered sound scold-
ing. He pointed out that while
the house and the senate had
been arguing on the relations to

state Commerce commission and

q parties to the appeal filed cash or

To- Identify Sylvanite and Base
Quartz.
BY DENNIS H. STOvALL.

The man who goes prospecting |
to the western gold fields this |
summer, as for several summers
past, must have a common sense
knowledge of base quartz. This
is 30 because most of the free
milling propositions, exposing
their treasures by great chunks
of the pure stuff, have nearly all
been found. This is why many
'ledges and many districts that
were overlooked 80, 40 and SO
years ago have become famous
in recent years. The prospector
n of today is not looking entirely
for free gold. He knows that
the richest lodges and veins very
often give but a base and unin-
viting exposure of their richness.
1t is UP to him. to ascertain the
,,alue of an exposed base quartz
NMedge by test and experiment.
Especially is this true in iden-
tifying: tellurium and ores of the
graphic tellurium and sylanite
character. Veins and lodges of
this composition, though fire.
quently remarkably rich, give
absolutely no evidence of it to
even the practiced eye of the
prospector. They present a
problem in which the brain as
we'll as the eye of the prospector
must be employed to correct solu-
ton.
The tests as now being used
bye, the western prospector in
identifying base quartz are very
simple. When a ledge is struck,
or the out-crop of a ledge, the
miner will dig an open cut to
depth of three or four feet, tc
get as far away from the highly
oxidized ores of the surface as
possible. He then chips frag-
rnents of quartz from the vein
These are finely powdered a.
possible and panned out. 4
there are free gold values in th'
vein, they will of course MAKE
their presence known by colors
But the presence or the absenc'
of colors in the panning will no
tell the whole story. If tn
values are hidden iIis rebellion
sulphides they must be indentifi
ed by another method. 1t l
possibly many miles to the near
est assay Office, and the prospec
tor, intent on getting the desire
information in the quickest tim
possible, becomes at ,ionce hi
own assayer. He pulverizes tn
quartz into a dust, and adds to
bne-third as much gunpowder g
there is pulverized ore. Tn
~ whole is then mixed with waite
and made into a thick paste. H
shapes it into the form of con'
and places it on a flat rock to dry
When dry, the point of the cor
is fired with match, and tf
mass sputters and burns awe
till there is naught left but
charred metallic button. A lit
polishing and scraping will salts
the prospector as to the identi
of the metal. If there is no gol
silver, copper or other metal
the quartz, there will of cour
be no metallic button left on t.
rock after the burning of t.
cone.
Now, as to the identifying
.sylvanite or tellurium ores. III
character Of quartz puzzled t
best assayers for a long tin
and for that reason many va
able lodges were overlooked
