Last Sunday Albert Jordi, of South
Mountain, came to town and Monday
morning filed complaint in the pro
bate court charging John Weir and
Ona Kenbush with the crime of assault
and robbery. A warrant of arrest was
issued and deputy sheriff John I. Shea
arrested the parties, with the assistance
of Hall Parks, special deputy sheriff for
Malheur Co., at Jordan Valley, Ore,
and brought them to Silver, last We'd
nesday, where they we're lodged in Jail.
Judge Heer, Yesterday, set the prelim-
mary examination for next Tuesday.
Mr.. Jordi is a well-to-do sheep man,
and the hold-ups evidently thought he
carried his money on his person or had
it in the house at his ranch. At the
point of pistol they demanded his
money and proceeded to ransack his
trunk. They secured the whole sum of
five cents for their pains.

A number Of Reynolds people drove
to Murphy last week to see the But
terfiy Grip PLAYED. The play was we'll
worth seeing, it being interviewer with
humor, tragedy and romance. The
company was greeted by quite an audi
ence, but the spacious tent wonld have
been we'll filled could people from neigh
boring towns have known how inter-
esting the play would be. There were
thirty members in the troupe, which
was equipped with splendid band and
orchestra, gas lights, and all that is re-
qnired to make up good company.

THE BANNER.

The road to the lower tunnel, which.
prospective bidders on a contract to
construct, said would cost $1,000, but
which has actually been constructed
for not to exceed $500 under the direct
supervision of President Peter Steele
has been completed, and it is said, by
those who have seen it, that it is the
best constructed road in this district.
Developments in both the north and
south drifts and the raise are progress
ing verv satisfactorily, with good ore
showing at all points.
The boarding house is being moved
from the West to the East side of the
gulch, nearer the tunnel, which will be
great convenience.
Mr.. H. c. Peterson, one Of the heavy
stockholders, of Minneapolis, Mimi.
who has been inspecting the property
during the past week, is highly pleased
over the developments.
Several other stockholders, of Mime
apolis, are expected here next week to
look over the property.

go and injects his own remarks between
sentences. Sometimes he claims to be
in South Africa, sometimes in Timbuc-
too, sometimes in Bombay and again in
Australia. And his remarks are not
complimentary. He does not hesitate
to denominate lordly admiral far out
at sea as an old duffer, right to his face
so to speak. And he tells the men out
at sea that they had better look sharp
to their own safety because the navy
yard at home is filled to overhowing
with imbeciles, who do not know whe-
ther the lines Of latitude run north or
south or east and west. Then again he
butts in to inform a ships commander
that the watch on his ship was drunk at
3 30 and had been for two hours and that
his ship barely missed a collision with a
lumter schooner at 3l5 a. u. Natur-
ally at the navy yard there is profanity,
while out at sea, what is said would
shame the vocabulary of sour army in
Flanders"
The navy yard people finally run the
miscreant down and sought the police
to interpose in their behalf. But the
boy happens to be son of policeman
so the force have informed the navy
yard people that there is nothing in the
constitution or laws that prevents free
speech and hence they have no juris-
diction in the business. Again, the
most bigoted of sticklers cannot deny
that the air is free. No one save the
compressed air experts have ever got a
corner on the atmosphere. Hence the
boy cannot be interferred with any
more then restrictive order can be
served on the lark to keep her from
hailing the sun at dawn.
Another thought is suggested. If
this boy can make SO much trouble,
what might not happen in time of war
should some enemy on lonely part of
the coast erect station and give orders
to our fleets at sea, or listening to the
passing messages, quickly inform the
fleet of his own country of what was
intended.
After all, the boys crude work may
be of vital Importance in showing that
the invention, so magnificent in itself,
may still need safeguards.

(Goodwin's Weekly)
There is a wireless telegraph appa-
ratus at the Washington navy yard. Its
chief use is to communicate with war
ships out at sea.
The thought that this can be done is
an exalting one. 1t adds to mans dig
nifty; it fore shadows the coming of
mans universal dominion over the earth
and all its elements. The hurricane
cannot interpose to stop it, the big seas
rave and roar in vain against it. The
still small voice finds its way and de-
livers its messages undisturbed. 1t is
the most striking example OF the tri-
umph of mind over matter that man has
ever achieved
Bnt there is trouble everywhere. An
ingenious boy who is full of humnr has
erected a primitive apparatus on the
roof of his fathers home near the navy
yard and it works like charm. He

The work on this group of mines dur
ing the last few days has only served to
strengthen the opinion of the manage
ment that the shoots of ore are TO be
permanent. A station has been cut and
shaft started 800 feet from opening Of
tunnel and three feet of high grade ore
is now exposed in the bottom of the
shaft. The first days work in the shaft
produced 81 sacks besides large guam
tity of lower grade ore, and specimens
of richer ore than has been found here
tofore. The new blacksmith shop and
ore house has been completed and this
property now presents an appearance
that would justify the opinion that
a regular producer has been added to
the paying mines of this camp.

A Few Inconsistencies.

Referring to the Sunday closing law
and some of the objections to many Of
the sections, the Montpelier Observer
says.
"In the afternoon it warmed up
little and here and there on the streets
could be seen groups of men who had
resolved themselves into grievance
committees. Every fellow had differ
ent view of the law and nearly every one
found some glaring inconsistency in its
provisions.
One man declared that it is class
legislation because it fixes one degree Of
penalty on the merchant who violates
tile law and another oegree of penalty
on the saloon keeper who violates the
same law.
Another man showed up the incon-
sistency of the law by referring to that
section which says that it shall be ''un-
lawful to keep open on Sunday any
place of any kind in which spirituous,
vinous, malt or Intoxicating liquors are
at any time sold or exposed for sale"
and in the next sentence it permits drug
stores to remain open.
1t was also shown that the law is in
consistent in that it permits ball games
on Sunday, at which there is always
more or less betting, and prohibits the
the opening of pool rooms, where no in
toxicants are sod, and where men gath.
er for quiet, social amusement.
Another inconsistency was shown in
the provision which permits the sale Of
cigars but prohibits the sale of tobacco
in any other form.
1t was also shown that confectionery
might be sold by the ton but it is un-
Lawful, to sell fruit of any kind.
Newspapers can be sold, but maga-
zines and periodicals are on the prohib-
itory list.
A man can buy a cigar, but if he hap
pened to be out Of bread at home and
his babes were crving with hunger, he
couldn't buy loaf of bread or even a
cracker for them.
These and many other inconsistencies
in the law were shown up. In fact, af
ter the curbstone jurists had concluded
their discussion of the measure, it wa;
declared to be wholly detrimental to the
peace, happiness and prosperity of the
community, and an opinion was render
ed by Chief Justice Joe Bagley to the
effect that the law is unconstitutional

"HE latest phase Of the immigra-
ton problem seems to be stir
ring up something of q hornets
nest. In some parts of the
country the forces Of organized labor
are up in arms against the work Of the
new division OF information In the de-
partment of commerce and labor. This
division IL a part Of the bureau Of Inn
migration. The man In charge Of 1t Is
Terence v. Powderly, than whom no
individual In labor circles Is better
known throughout the world.
1t seems somewhat anomalous that
organized labor should oppose a move

for fourteen years was grand master

biggest and most powerful organiza-
ton Of workingmen ever formed on
the globe. With more than a million
members the Knights Of Labor force
for years welded q remarkable infiu-
ence upon American commerce and In
dustry.
Why. then, is this thus?
Mr.. Powderly, as chief Of the divi-
sion Of information, Is really the man
aeer of Uncle Sans big new free en-
ployment bureau. He Is, in fact, much
more than that, but he is that, and for
that reason certain labor leaders de-

free employment bureau Of national

important fact that the primary object

Thus we have in New York such
nourishing cutthroat societies as the
Black Hand, with its branches in the
other cities. We have great slum dis
tricts almost exclusively settled by the
pauper outcasts OF Europe, who drop
even lower in the social scale here
than the pits into which they were
born at home. They produce large
and swarming hives OF children, who
grow up dirty, ignorant, depraved and
utterly unfit for American citizenship.
This Is speaking. Of course, In a gener-
al way. Everybody knows that some
Of these city staying immigrants rise
above their surroundings and make
good citizens. But the tendency Is the
