"Posto and "Postal Cards.

The impression seems to be quite gen
eral that writing on one half of the face
of government postal card is permis-
sible, but it seems to be a mistake.
Postmaster Harris at Kansas City in a
lengthy discussion of the subject, says
There must be nothing done to postal
card printed by the United States, ex-
cept the address put or the face and the
communication written on the back. On
privately made post card the public
can write letter on the left half of the
face side of the card and write on the
back, stick pictures and scraps on the
back, glue on a sheet of paper, or do al
most anything else except try to mai
those picture post cards with poisonoui
stuff like mica, gilt, glass, etc, on them
But the government postal card is sac

The Wyoming Wool Growers Asso-
citation has issued a circular advising
sheepmen throughout the state that a
conspiracy is being planned by eastern
wool buyers to force down the price OF
wool in spite of manufacturers demands.
Producers are advised not to sell their
wool under any circumstances at less
than the 1906 market, and the associa.
ton offers to buy the wool at last years
prices if eastern buyers will not pay as
much. Should the growers take advan-
tage of the offer the association will be
incorporated and capitalized, becoming
practically an independent exchange
controlling the Wyoming output.

The trial of Haywood and Meyer
which is now going on in Boise, Idaho
has advanced so far that they have got
one good solid juryman in the box and
the Lord only knows how long it will
take to get another. 1t is expected that
this trial will drag its slow length along
until it takes all summer and the ex-
pense to the state will be something
enormous. We suspect that elimination
and recrimination will follow thick and
fast until it will be found that both the
prosecution and defense are in court
with unclean hands. 1t is always so
when men 90 to extremes and both are
impelled by motives of revenge and
neither cares for justice.

There is no let up to the immigration
that is pouring into the United States
and the report of the number that land
ed in New York during the month of
April was 1884 Five thousand were
landed in one day last week. Hang
out your banners on the outer wall the
cry is still they come" The present
immigration differs somewhat from.tha
we have been getting in former years,
inasmuch as they were mostly from
Germany and Ireland, while now it is
mostly from Italy, Austria, Hungary and
Russia. Unlike the Germans who made
for the west to make for themselves
homes, these latter people stay in the

MINES AND MINING.

Mr.. Dan McGonigal and Jack Hazlett
| will take crew of men out to the Cata-
wasa and resume work on the different
claims which comprise that group. BY
this we presume that all differences
have been settled, injunctions removed
and clear field left for the successful
development of a profitable mine. So
mote it be.
The annual meeting of the stock hol.
ders of the Holy Terror-Keystone Min
ing company was held at Beulah, Wy
oming, on May 10th for the purpose Of
taking action on the proposed bonding
and selling of the property to certain
eastern parties. The execution of such
bond was authorized. 1t is stated that
the consummaton of this deal means
the early resumption Of extensive work
on the property.
The Gertie tin mine is shut down
again NJ l.. Meyer worked the mill
and smelter long enough to concentrate
few tons of ore and melt the cassiterite
into block tin. Armed with these and
some rich ore he has returned to the
east where the capitalist wants to see
some substantial evidence that in the
Black Hills actually tin bearing veins
exist which produce the metal. Verify

A car load of electrical machinery has
been delivered at the depot, and most
of it hauled to the mine. This machin-
cry was consigned to the Westinghouse

is designed to take the place of the pres
ent power at the New York Mica plant
and also to give light in the mine.
Everything is going smoothly at the
mine and the production of first class
mica is increasing as development ad-
vances. The White Spar is also showing g
up well and producing good quantity
of excellent mica.

sake OF enabling a few officials IN col
lect small fees.
In Russia, as is well known. mss
port regulations are enforced with Tho
greatest stringency. No traveller. i'm.
deed, is permitted to enter the ernp.rs
until he has obtained a passport and
convinced the Russian consular ON
GERS at the port from which he sails
that he is neither a Roman Catbor,
priest nor a Hebrew. The question or.
dinarily asked is, what Is your "a

two classes.
When the traveller arrives at Rus
sian port with a passport that has
been properly vised and counterslsned
at a consular Office, 1t Is critically eT-
amined by a police officer ADD duly req

one to leave Russia as it is to enter #.
When the traveller departs for another
city In the empire, he must have the
passport countersigned by the police.
This process continues until he reaches
the frontier, which he cannot cross IN
less the passport has been vised and
stamped by the police. Not infrequent-
~ tourists are stopped at the frontier
and subjected to serious inconvenience
because they have neglected TO comply
with the police regulations respecting

noyances and irritation among tourists,
who are apt to overlook the fact that
Russians as well as foreigners are COM
PEELED to observe these police regula-
lions. It Is the business Of the police
to know where everybody hodges.
The same system prevails in Turkey,
where 1t is not practicable for a for
signer to travel without a passport.
Elsewhere in Europe passports are not
required. They are relics Of a bygons
period when communication between
countries was slow and infrequent-
