MAY SOON RESUME OPERATIONS,

1t is a healthful sign where a prop
erty once in trouble finds many
willing to take the responsibility of
financing it, One of the largest min'
ing properties in this section will
soon be on it's feet through the in
who realize it's great value. The great
est surprise was evinced in its shut,
ting down. Various causes were CIV
en-. Any of these might be the right
one. That has nothing to do with the
resumption of work. The readiness
with which others take the matter
in hand to place the property in the
active list, is one of the hopeful signs
of the times; or rather, proves that
record properties are in demand. 1t
must, it may require great deal Of
money to handle this. Still, it may
require a trifle to secure it. the
owners not caring to dispose of such
valuable asset. Whatever the sit
uation, it would look as though the
property in question were to soon
take on a new lease of life With
proper management it should startle
with what it can do in the way of
putting out dividends for it's owners.
With it's resumption should follow
great prosperity. Others taking their
cue from this will also resume, till
activity be shown all along the line.
The situation has much improved
since the first of the year.
This paper has thrown out many
hint, and it is pleased to note that
number have born fruit. The Obser-
yer stands for common sense in min
ing as well as other matters.

PITTssURe TO SINK.

A so h. p. Bury electric compressor
was hauled to the Pittsburg mine
few days ago and is being installed
this week by the Mountain Electric
company. 1t has capacity of from
to s drills. AS soon as this is in
running order, it is the intention of
superintendent Anger to commence
sinking and put the shaft down 200
additional feet, which will give it a
depth of 1000.
Electric pumps of the Dean make
AXIS, with triple plungers, have also
been ordered. These will raise 90 gal
Ions per minute for a distance of 600
feet.
No heavy shipments are being made
for the present from the Pittsburg,
but ore is being broken in the 500.
which Mr., Anger says never looked
better. In the bottom of this level
is a pocket 500 feet long. When the
shaft is deepened there will be an
endless expanse of ground and that
just below the 500 will be rich.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.

Tuesdays Denver News. in report
ing the decisions handed down by the
supreme court of Colorado, mentioned
a decision in the case of Harry Fee
han, well known resident of Black
Hawk, who was accused two or three
years ago of throwing a switch in
the c. & S. yards in Denver. The
News account of the decision fol-
lows:
"On an application for a review Of
error made by the plaintiff in the
case Of the people VS.. Harry Feehan,
the court decided that the verdict of
not guilty was erroneous. and re-
manded the case for re-trial. Feehan
was charged with having changed the
switch on the Colorado & Southern
track, causing the derailment of two
cars during a strike of the switch
men. He confessed, but the district
court held that the words throw
out" used in the statute, were ambi-
guous. and n conviction could not be
sustained under them. The supreme
court held that the intent of the
statute was plain and the misuse OF
n technical term did not vitiate It.
Feehan will, therefore. have to stand
trail again."

PINE COMB DEVELOPMENT.

E. Shoush, manager of the Pine
Comb property in the Wideawake sec
ton, has been doing considerable de-
velopment during the summer and is
now in position to give attention
to production. He is driving tunnel
to connect with the shaft, which is
down 100 feet. The purpose of this
tunnel is to carry away the water
and give better ventilation to the
workings.
In driving the tunnel three we'll de-
fined veins were cut, showing the
ground to be thoroughly mineralized
When the connection with the shaft
is made, there will be vast amount
OF ground that can be opened up,with
an abundance of good pay ore.
The 20-stamp mill, connected with
the Pine Comb, was started up last
week and trial run was made
Pretty good returns were received
from the dirt put through, consider
ing that the stuff was taken out in
development and was not saved as
clean as is the custom when ore is
broken for treatment. The stuff now
being taken out for the mill is ex-
pected to run good. On some of the
ore taken out short time since ,at
another point in the property from
that now being worked, assays were
had, running from 10000 to $1,000
to the ton.
A pipe line is now being run from
a large spring to carry water to the
boarding house and other company
buildings. The Pine Comb will de-
velop into pretty large proposition
before next spring and ought to soon
commence to pay dividends.

NEW RECRUITS.

South Dakota is engaged in great
battle with the railroad companies fol
lower passenger rates. The first fight
was won when progressive ! gisla.
ture was elected which passed the rate
laws, against stalwart opposition
The fight is now in the courts, and the
stalwarts ask the people of the state
to place them in command to con-
tinue this fight. Before giving over
the campaign to them, it might not
be amiss to ask which side they are on.
And if they profess to have changed
their allegiance from the railroads to
the cause of the people, it might hen
be proper to inquire why these new
recruits should be given com nand and
the old generals replaced.
The only reason they have advanc d
so far is the claim that they can con
duct the campaign for he people
more cheaply. Certainly they can II
they intend to give up the fight for
cheaper rates. The employment of
special assistants to helplh attorney
general in conducting these cases is
one of the items of expense objected
to by the Iroquois Chief and other
stalwart papers. 1t is easy to see
what would become of the states
interests if they had control of affairs
This is the economy they boldly
advocate, and apparently this is the
very reason they wish to get into a
position where they will be able to
back down in tn. interests of the
railroads. Sioux Falls Press.

WILL THE PRESS DO IT?

The Brookings Press is one of the
papers that prints the wall of the
bunch of old stalwart ringers who
want to get back in control of the
affairs of this state. Tt talks glibly
of the extravaganza of the Crawford
and Vessey administrations, and in
dustriously shouts of the economy of
Elrod
Now, the Press is published in a
ttown that that is il favored with the largest
state educational institution. The
Press, if it knows anything at all up
on this subject, ought to be in posi-
ton to know whether or not the APP
preparations made for maintenance
and improvements at the agricultural
college were in excess of the actual
needs of the institution. Will the
Press favor us with such information
as it is now using as basis of its
claim of progressive extravangance in
connection with the state colleges If
it has no statistics to support its claim
in this connection, will il kindly give
us its opinion in regard to appropria-
tions for, and expenditures Of funds

sum of $79.957.72 during the last
three years for improvements at the
state college. Was the sum in excess
of the needs of the institution, and
were the funds mismenaged?
In Elrod's time it cost $35,650.O0 a
year to run the state college with 4So
students. In Vessey's time it costs
$60,050.O0 year with 728 students.
Is this cost of operation under Vessey
too great for the work accomplished,
and is the fund mismanaged9
Beyond all doubt the Press is more
competent to speak on this particular
subject than upon any other in con-
nection with the state appropriations.
This being so, it is fair to ask the
Press to give us what information it
has at hand A failure to comply
with this request will be taken as an
admission that it is not informed up
on the subject, and that what it has
said in the past upon the subject of
appropriations was not founded upon
fact, but was composed of false state.

misleading its readers and for the

is supposed to know the most. Let
the Press speak out, or forever hold
its peace.

WEST AGAINST CANNON

The Chicago Daily Tribune short
time ago made a poll of the editors
of west of the Alleghenies to ascertain
the sentiment or the Cannon Cannon issue, ;;s;ss;aies
and also in regard to the Aldrich- Can
non tariff law. How each editor vot-
ed is matter held in strict confidence,
and under such conditions the editors
expressed their real sentiments freely.
The vote, we believe is surprise
even to those most opposed to the two
issues.
The first question was, "Is Cannon
your choice for the next speaker?"
The vote recorded from rs states
stood, republicans, for Cannon, SAC;
against Cannon 1858. Independents,
81 for, and 54l against. The demo
cratic vote is not published.
The second question was, do you
endorse the Aldrich Cannon TARIFF
The vote stood, republicans, Sl2
yes; 1855 no. Independents, n yes,
SIT no.
Even tine speakers own state is
against him. He is not the choice of
the majority of republican editors in
a single congressional district of
Illinois, not even in his own district.
The vote in the state of Illinois is 81
for him and 100 against for the re
publicans, while only one of the
thirty four independe Mt editors is in
favor of him.
There is food for thought IN ihese
results of the vote of the editors. And
we earnestly recommend to our two
congressman a careful consideration
of the truth therein contained.
Further, we recommend to Senator
Crawford careful consideration Of
the result Of the vote on the tariff

We believe the corporation tax law
enacted last year to be right in
principle and good thing ffor the
country. There is an opportunity to
better the law by amendment, how,
ever. so that corporations need not
be put to Inconvenience in making
reports. As it now stands, only one
form of report is isaccepted. This form
is in no way adapted to some lines OF
business. Another thing is the date
upon which reports are to be made.
There is no provision whereby a re
port can be made at the end of a
physical year, which is sometimes
made necessary by the nature of the
business in which the corporation is
engaged. Such changes could be
made without in anyway interfering
with the effectiveness of the corpora
tion tax laws.

platform, perfecting an organization
for the coming campaign, couferring
