MANAGUA, Dec. 16.-Jose Zen

his resignation in the hands of con-

Dr. Jose Madriz, Judge of the

Get Rid of Typhoid Flies.

Already in our midst the House Fly,
the dirty fly, the typhoid and cholera
infantum fly, will soon swarm in thou
sands and millions unless precautions
are taken. The house fly, whom we
were taught in our childhood to treat
with kindness has been exposed. Its
habits are filthy. 1t breeds in stables
and garbage pals, and carries the filth
it revels in and tracks it across the sugar,
the butter and the beefsteak. 1t paddles
its horrid feet, gummed with the vilest
rotting matter in the baby's milk. The
doctors have declared war on the house
fly, it probably disseminates every dis
ease. 1t is nuisance. 1t must be ex-
terminated. 1t can be driven out of
every city. In an age of knowledge,
screens and cheap disinfectants there is
no excuse for flies in any household.
Clean up your premises and report to
the Eealth department your neighbor
who does not. Get rid Of breeding
places of flies and you will get rid OF
flies. The battle is half won, II begun

Harney Peak Tin Co. Property.

Yesterday morning attached to the
regular passenger train arrived DR.. A.
R. LeDoux of New York, and W. s.
Bentley, commercial agent for the B. &
NJ. who will show him all the points OF
interest in the Hills he should desire to
visit.
For about Ia years DR.. LeDoux has
been the Receiver of the Harney Peak
Tin Company's property and has admin
istered its affairs.
Twice before has he visited this place
on business pertaining to the receiver
ship, but bis visit this time Is of more
importance and greater significance to
this mining district than those previous
ones, for it is to mark the initial step for
the resumption of tin mining by the
Harney Peak Tin Company.
The News reporter had occasion last
evening to spend very pleasant hour
with Mr.. LeDoux in his private car dur
ing which he talked freely concerning
the company's affairs and the tin inter-
ests here.
The difficulties, he said, between the
American and English stock ckholders had
been adjusted and new company form
ed in which the stock is about evenly
divided between the wealthy Americans
and Englishmen. A board of Ave direc-
tors had been chosen to direct its affairs.
DR.. LeDoux, while declining to accept
the Office of director will remain with
the company for some time at least to
assist it in getting the right start that its
efforts may be crowned with success.
Prospecting will be done in systematic
way and will be undertaken on claims
where the surface showing warrants it.
He also intimated that the company
would be willing to lease ground and
help the parties in financial way even
to the extent of placing a hoist on the
mine when needed. The company also
contemplates the erection of a plant
which will be in charge of Mr.. Kammon,
to make tests on tin ore in large quanti-
ties.
DR.. LeDoux expressed his best wishes
for the future growth of Hill City and
the prosperity of its citizens. To forget
past differences and to work for one COM
mon purpose, the success ofthis tin min
ing district.
He expects to remain in the Black
Hills for about ten days. Most of the
time will be spent here to examine the
different tin prospects. This evening
he will leave for the northern Hills to
look over the linton district, accom-
panied by Mr.. Kammon.-Hill City

prosperous it will be. Local items are
especially hard to run down. How many
times have you, dear reader, been sp-
preached by the newspaper man for an
item of news and told him that you
knew nothing of interest. Probably at
the time your family were away on q
visit or someone from out Of town was
visiting at your house. OF course you
did not mean TO deceive the scribe, yet
when you received your paper you won
dered why your family and friends were
not mentioned. A good way to avoid
all this is to kindly inform us Of the

amount to much, but several columns Of
such news is the life Of the local paper.
