 This morning while a crowd were waiting for No 20, in the waiting room at the depot, large coal of fire popped out on the floor, and began to burn as if it might do the creditable act of setting the building a fire The progress of the title messenger of mercy, as it appeared to be for awhile, was watched with ca. ger interest, by the anxious crowd, but it soon died out.
 Talk about your fire proof buildings! The depot in Prescott has all your concrete, brick, steel or iron structures skinned ten city blocks. It won't burn.

Mines, Mills and Mining.

Custer county is one of the richest mining sections in the world,
but at present it needs better transportation, and capital to develop
Its rich mining districts. In some states and territories mining
and agriculture, though progressing hand in hand, are yet nearly
independent of each other. The farmers market is widened by
the miner, to be sure but not relying on home consumption ex.
cluSNely, he can exist and prosper, but in this county the miner
and farmer depend upon each other to a great extent. Let us for
a moment call the attention of the capitalist to some of the most
important mining districts and mines in the county, viz Mackay.

silver mines; Bayhorse district with its famous Ramshorn. Skylarl5

canitalists. It's beautiful scenery, its enterprising people, its var
led resources, and its brilliant prospects not lnapty commemorate
the name of General Custer, whose dashing, romantic, yet produc-
tive career has become a part of our national history. Thirty-fve
years ago, when placer mining was in its prime ana quartz mining
in it's infancy, the territory now embraced in It's confines was
known only to Indians and an occasional party OF p~rospectors
travelling to or from Montana. TO them a wilderness, to the max.
ers of maps it was "unexplored" In 1862 placers were actively
worked in Stanley Basin, on what is now our western border and
in 1869 few venturesome men founo rich ground on Loon creek
In 1870 other pIacers we're discovered and yielded handsomely, but
forming Custer county was practically unknown. From 1875 to
1879, the fame of its rich mines spread abroad-attractlng capital
lists and increasing its population-until the following year, by
Legislative enactment, Custer county was created, and has 5hrived
since that time, until today it has a population OF 5000 people,
and has the following towns

THE BUTTER TRUST

n UR butter trust lost one of its
sources of supply because, one Of
~ the butter purveyors declared, he
refused to adopt the trusts methods or
to indorse them. These methods, which
were described in a suit brought to
compel the rebel to return to the trust
for that seems to be the plain Eng
lish of it-may be summed up in the
expression, Here a little and there a
little" The defendant company, which
refused to fulfill it's contract providing
for an exclusive sale, said that the
plaintiff company was shaving butter
supplied to it. There was nothing ton
sorial about the operation. Butter
shaving consists in shipping from Il
half ounce to two ounces from full
weight squares. After this operation
the squares exist under false pretenses.
Meanwhile the shaver makes butter
and a profit. The operation is skillful,
scientific and in keeping with the teach
ines of high finance, for it comes near
to making something out of nothing.
1t creates a new value from the detri-

DYNAMITE

NOBEL, the man who invented dy-
v Mantle, expressed contrition for
~ his misdeed and gave a large
part of the reward of iniquity for the
promotion of international peace. 1t
took mankind longer to become ac-
customed to high explosives than to
any other form of deviltry. The ma
tions accepted dynamite with great
reluctance. When Nobel began his
experiments he went from country to
country, but was ordered to move on
as soon as the authorities found out his
object in life. At last he discovered
dreary stretch of sand dunes on the
coast of Scotland. Here, miles away
from human habitation or human
beings, except those employed by him,
he established the first dynamite fac
tory. Day after day telescopes and
field glasses were leveled at "Old Nick s
laborat tory" from the country round
about. At last the patience of the
distant Micawbers who were watching
and waiting for something to turn
up" was rewarded. Something turned
up" 1t was 1.-The whole works." which
went UP with such vehemence that
houses many miles away trembled.
Nobel, the international peace
man, had certainly found an
explosive. 1t had the effect Of
an earthquake. A complete demon
stration of the powers of dynamite had
been given. Nothing remained of the
factory or of the men. They vanished,
and for a long time afterward awe
struck tourists visited the hole in the
ground that marked the site of the No
bel building. 1t is needless to say that
Nobel was not present at the tirst pub
lie exhibition of the power of dyna-
mite. He expressed his surprise at the
result of the explosion, which was
proof that he was on the right track,
and he pursued his Investigations and,
by proxy his experiments. Here is
where civilization made its mistake.
1t should have told Mr.. Nobel that 1t
was thoroughly satisfied with the
Ayrshire demonstration of the new
force, and should have invited the in
Ventor to desist. But, perhaps with a
furtive hope that he would conduct
his next experiments in person, the
government said "Go ahead" Having
invented dynamite and having intro
duced a line of thought and research
that resulted in "forcite" and many
other high explosives, Nobel turned
his attention to peace, and part of the
dynamite money is devoted to
the promotion of good will among
men. In the light of his philanthro-
pies, whether Nobels absence from
Ardeer when his devils mixture dem
onstrated it's deadly force was or was
not a boon to mankind will ever be a
debatable point. We would like to
know what ministers of the gospel
think of this curious paradox.

GAMBLERS BEATEN

4 BIG FIGHT in New York state for
u race track reform has been fought
IA and won. The recommendation OF
Governor Hughes has been adopted at
Albany, and betting on contests Oh
speed between horses anywhere in the
state will be prohibited. The race track
men made a desperate fight. The pro-
moters of the betting ring offered to
at least two senators a sum of money
said to be equivalent to a fortune If
they would desert the cause of reform.
Not only has gambling been over
thrown, but that disagreeable practice
known as boodling has been jolted.
When the racing men saw that the re-
formers were in earnest, and that the
sport of kings was to be cleaned up
and dissociated from its disreputable-
but necessary-gambling concomi-
tant, the hat was passed around, and
the members and friends of the
gambling ring were urged to contrib
ute literally to a promotion and pub
licity fund" The wool was not pulled
over the eyes of either friend or foe
The friend of race track gambling
winked and smiled when he mentioned
the publicity fund. The foe frowned.
The wink and the frown indicated that
the euphemistic title was a disguise of
the kind called too thin" The corrup-
ton fund, to give it the name which
describes it accurately, reached the
handsome total of half a million dol
lars. OF this sum each of the seven
racing associations contributed $4,000,
making $3.50, 900, and the "bookies" were
bled for the remaining S150000. The
men who raised this big fund were
willing to spend every cent of it to de-
feat the hostile legislation, which, it is
now certain, will be effective. The ex-
ample of New York will have great in
huence on the rest OF the country, and
gamblers and the friends of gambling
in California will recognize the fact
that their interests are menaced by the
action of the greatest eastern COM
which, after many years of
vain and sometimes disheartening work
by reformers, has at last concluded tol
Danish an evil which was not only
harmful in itself, but was the prolific
mother of other evils. Wherever gam
bling and liquor selling are estab-
lished institutions" the community's
Newgate calendar of crime never lacks
Its daily sensation.
