BLACKHORSE GROUP
SOLD FOR GOOD
LARGE AMOUNT

Tommy Watkins, the original dis
coyerer of the Blackhorse mine, from
which the camp later took it name,
this week sold the Blackhorse group,
consisting of four claims to R. Court
right, a prominent local mining man
of the eastern part of White Pine
county. When Watkins found the
Blackhorse mine four and a half
years ago. and exhibited specimens
literally alive with course gold, there
was great excitement. which caused
a tremendous rush into the camp.
Specimens of ore were taken out es-
timated to be worth 100000 per ton.
Soon after the discovery Mr.. Watkins
sold the property to Thomas O'Neill
OF Ely for $4,000, receiving $4,000
in cash. Mr.. O'Neill spent consider
able money in development work, but
failed to make the remaining pay
ments, and the property reverted bat
to Mr.. Watkins, who has since been
working The ore with an arrasta and
making good money. Mr.. Courtwright
is backed in the enterprise by east
ern capital The property will now
be opened in a thorough manner, and
the ore blocked out. In addition tC
the mines bond has been taken on
Mr.. Watkins waterrights, which are
sufficient for milling purposes, ant
where mill will later be erected. Th
consideration In the deal has not bee
made public, but it is known to rur
well up into the big figures, and upol
which handsome cash payment wa'
made.
The resumption Of work on th'
Blackhorse mine in a systematic man
ner means much for the camp ant
its future. From surface indications
and from the large amount Of ore ex
posed In the various properties b,
the somewhat limited amount Of dc

Retailers Not ResponsibIe.

If there is any thing artificial about meat prices the retailers, scattered, numbering thousands, and rivaling one another in trade. are surely not responsible. It is notorious that the combination holds them in its grip. and holds tight Take away their supply and they are up against ruin. street and cut their prices for a few months and they are done for.
 It is notorious that retailers are for bidden to buy domestic cattle. If they do so, it is at the risk of being penalized. We have published more than once the story told by a. leading business man of this city that he of fered a relative in this state a bunch of two year oldS to raise on his all most empty farm and the farmer de- clined with thanks, saying he could not sell them after they were raised. The marketman who should buy them would be put out of business. It is true that things have changed some what since that day; you can get something for q COW or a steer now in this state (even if it is tuberculous) by selling to the travelling buyer, but that is very limited progress
 The point is that the retailer hay ing been for many years helpless and dependent at the hands of the meat combination, is now getting raps for tions organizing to deprive him of his business. This may be the way to stop the high prices. but 1t is the way to sacrifice an honest industry. We have grave doubt about the movement becoming serious. and further doubts whether it is not "in restraint of trade'' and uniawful-Hartford Couront.

A ThankIess Task.

Men who hold the office of assessors in any live town in Connecticut are not enjoying what is popuiariy known as a picnic. Bristol is no exception to the rule. Her board has been busy for weeks The reisult is announced Many voices are raised in protest. We believe it is not oh record that any taxpayer ever praish an assessor, no matter how faithfJl and diligent he had been or how successful his work. Nevertheless he is entitled to consid- eration-
 As we understand the Bristol situ- claim to have done perfect work They fully realized the necessity of raising the grand list, and after weeks of hard work added some two millions to it. It is not at all surprising that they developed inequalities. They are in evitable. But they can be remedied, and undoubtedly will be another sea- son. The change will work out to the advantage Of the town and the satis- faction of the taxpayers.
 It is but fair. in the meantime, to recognize the factI that the assessors have been true toy their oaths. They have been diligeny and faithful and have given much time and thought to an unpleasant task. In the matter of assessing the New Britain clay pipe statutes as they understand them, and also followed the practice Of some oth- CT towns. There was no spirit of un- friendliness toward New Britain The question is a big one and it is one that must sometime be answered. It is now on the way to a definite de- cision.-Bristol Press.

THE RouNp oF CAUSES.

There are all sorts of answers to the inquiry why beef and pork are so high The retailers say 1t is because of the wholesalers, and the wholesalers say the fault is the re- taiiers. This doesn't solve the question, but it is exactly in keeping with the explanation made by the representa- tive of a big Chicago packing firm who said beef and pork are dear because corn is so dear; and, followed to the logical end. corn Is so dear because beef and pork are so dear. It doesn't take long to compass that little cir cie. It is not very satisfactory after it has been gone over. Other claims are made, one being that the supply has been decreasing while the demand has been increasing. This would ex- plain something if it were true, but figures setting forth ascertained facts are understood to be now in the hands of the government attorneys. which contradict conclusively the claim that beef prices have advanced continu ously because of a continuously grow ing shortage in supply.
 It is shown that during the last three months of 1908, when the aver age price of beef cattle was from $7.e0 to $500 per 100 pounds, the cattle re- ceipts were much lower than during the three months of last year, when the price was pushed up to $s.50 per 100 pounds. The figures do not iud: : cate that there has been any falling off in the cattle supply, but rather a continuous average of increase.
 Perhaps the investigations on foot as to causes and effects may reveal something even more satisfactory thao this, but investigations of recent times do not warrant sanguine expectations that the truth will be plainly revealed.

Judae Reeds Advice.

Timely earnest and pertinent was the advice which Judge Reed of the superior court handed out at the con- clusion of a divorce trial in Norwich on Wednesday. The case, not devoid of features that called for the appli- cation of funigation, had been before end was reached Judge Reed an nounced that he should reserve his decision and that two or three weeks might elapse before he rendered his finding.
 But, meanwhile, he expressed the opinion that the man and wife ought to forgive each other. overlook the past, make up and try to live happily together. He went on to emphasize the desirability of a reconciliation and said:
 You have taken each other for bet ter or for worse, and I should be re- luctant to believe that it was absolute ly for the worst You have tried this remarkably short time to come to a conclusion that marriage is failure in this case. It is a serious situation. want to recommend this to you young people-if you have any regard for yourselves and with reference to the best interests of this state, which has been referred to in the trial or the case. The state is interested in having you, if possible. live together as man and wife-as husband and wife ought to live together. If you have regard for any Christian principles, certainly urge you to bring those into play, and if it is a possible thing to do, urge YOU to get together and make this thing up and live together as you ought to do."
 Very simple, ver~ direct and very sympathetic is this appeal. and it gets down to fundamental principles. The spirit in which the plea is made is admirable and reflects credit on the bench. If the principles which Judge Reed frames in terms of kindliness and of encouragement were generally applied the business of the divorce courts would be greatly reduced, and there'd be more happiness and less friction in the world.
 We think that Judge Reed has done a public service by holding up the lamp over the pathway of mutual tol- eration in natrimony, and If the gen. tie but urgent advice which he gave is followed the public welfare will bs pronoted.-Hartford Times.

THE CLEAN MAN.

The clean man is needed in politics in this country because clean men make clean politics. Where politics are unclean, the uncleanness is of the public servants, not of politics. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise was right when he spoke in Boston the other day upon the theme, "The Preacher as Prophet ,'' and said:
 'The preacher, we are sometimes told, must not dabbIe in politics. I agree with that He must not dabble; ; he must grappIe- He must grapple with fundamental problems of politi- cal life, which are moral problems. We are not to be concerned about getting the name of God into the con- stitution of the United States, but we are to be very much concerned about getting the things of God into the con stitution of the American people. Why should not the preacher grapple with political and moral problems? We are told politics ruins character No; it is not politics that ruins chara eter, but it is lack of character that ruins politics.
 'aThe question has been asked, Who may touch politics and keep his hands cleanT In England, John Bright and William Golden. In America, a Mas sachusetts senator-tIis was fifty years ago-Charles Sumner. In our own state, its governor He has not only touched politics and kept his hands clean, but he has done much to clean politics. If in New York, for example, we should have a municipal election tomorrow, and the men of power and millions should take the po- sition: We don't touch politics; we keep our hands clean we should know they were afraid of honest politics and clean politics, because they couldn't do their dirty business with politics and politicians that are clean"
 This is good preaching; and fl should be persisted in and practical results would surely follow. When clean men are in politics they will be kent clean.

TIMELY ADVICE.

Timely advice by the Waterbury Republican-if you cut meat out of your diet be careful about the rest of your food. Too radical a change of menu sometimes brings about condi- tions which tend to decrease the pow CT of the body to resist disease germs. Don't go spending what you save on meat for drugs and doctors services This advice should also be borne in mind by those who contemplate a change of diet during the Lenten sea- son, to open in a little more than two weeks from now.-New Britain Herald.
 This sounds like sense to the beef eater, and like nonsense to a person who from any cause has found it necessary to abstain from meat Meat Is known to be under some condi- tions a stimuiant and an irritant When to eat meat and when not to eat meat is no fools problem It is a matter of record that non-meat-eat- ing Egyptian stevedore placed on the deck of an American ship a piece of iron machinery which it took four of the best beef-eating stevedores at Portland, Me, to take ashore. It is a fact that some of the American In dians' winter food is pine nuts which have as much. if not more, sustenance than beef. Why fear should always enter into the question of eating meat or letting it alone is no clearer than why prices are so high. Fear is one of the most unhealthy states of mind possible, and it does more harm in one way and another than any other en- emy of the human race.

Three Times Dead.

Recorded dead three times is the case of a man whose widow desires a pension from the government and who has asked Senator Johnston of Ala bama to set the obituary record of her husband straight. The man who die three times was Sumeral Dennis of South Carolina, who fought in the war of 1912, and according to the army records he died in 1915. Notwithstand- ing this fatal declaration, he managed to join a regiment and fought with it in the war with Mexico in 1847. He managed to die again soon after that war, according to the veracious army records. After this death he settled in Alabama, where, though dead. ; he married Mrs. Dennis. who survives him. He finally managed to die phy- sically and officially She now wants a pension and is trying to set straight the lethal records by eliminating two of them.-Boston Record.

Justice Baldwin for Governor.


 The suggestion has been made across the border and a very good one it is, that Chief Justice Simeon E. Baldwin, when he retires from the bench of the supreme court, be made governor of Connecticut. The New Haven Journal Courier comments:
 The spirit in which the suggestion has been received carries with 1t the assurance that his nomination would be followed by his election Nor should there be any fuss about it. No com mittee need wait upon him to learn his views. Let his party convention meet and draft him for the service He is no man to dicxer with over such a proposition. He needs no platform; ; he is his own platform. He is just the kind of man needed at the helm at this juncture in the history of old Connec- ticut. Move the suggestion along
 At 70 years of age Justice Baldwin, well preserved physically, with ripe knowledge in a wide range of intel lectual accomplishments, and frst hand acquaintance with public ques- tions, is fitted to give Connecticut such service as she could not otherwise command. The opportunity opens to lift the office of governor upon the highest plane. To place him in that upon the state, as we'll as to command the wisest service
 We need not dwell upon the relief from machine politics that would be cOmmanQeQ Dy Sucn a QepdrluTe-TDy no means the least of the corsidera- tions involved. Has 1t never oc- cured in a controlling way to the people of Connecticut that they have permitted too much power to drift into the hands of those who have as stunned to dictate the politics of that state2 It is time for the people to demonstrate that they are the real rulers, and no better way of doing this could be conceived of than to make Justice Baldwin governor through an irresistible popular demand.-Spring- field Republican.
