A horrible tragedy was enacted in
Seattle, Wednesday, b. two old-time
residents of Olympia, by which the
death of b. w. Brintnall and Frank
F. Williamson resulted. 1t seems
that they, after many years of friend
ship, had some dispute over timber
claim and became deadly enemies.
On that day Williamson entered the
Office of his victim and shot him, in
flicting a wound from which he died
a few hours afterward. He then
turned the pistol on himself, fired
and the shot ended his life.
In 1889 Brintnall was Superin-
tendent of Schools. and afterwards
the Populist candidate for County
Superintendent, in which Office he
served q term, and then moved to
Seattle to take charge Of the Pacific
Teachers Agency.
Williamson was also we'll known
here and served several terms as
member OF the Council and engaged
in the timber business here and in

TWENTY YEARS AGO

Twenty years ago the price of
bar silver declined from one dollar
to ninety cents and a great commo-
ton onsued. Many mines in
Colorado and this state closed down
because the ten cent drop in silver
made it impossible to work the ores
and extract a profit. Nevada,
at that time. was producing many
thousands of dollars annually from
its various mines, and the sudden
decline in the white metal caused
what c2n be truthfully termed a
panic.
Today, with the price of bar
silver quoted around ~sixty-four
cents mines of Nevada are pre-
ducing more bullion than ever be-
fore in the history of the state.
Ia this camp alone the output will
exceed a million dollars per month
and at that price OF the white COM
modify is virtually twenty-five
cents lower than when the state
first experienced its serious backset
twenty years ago.
Scientific mining is attributed as
the cause that permits a greater
profit being made with Cd cents
silver and it is with such methods
in adoption that the millions Of
dollars annually are paid from the
silver mines of the United States.
With silver at its old mark of
ninety cents, it would be easy to
surmise the extent of the pros
perity that would result for New
ada, but Mt even sixty.four cents
the future appears somewhat
cheerful Bonanza.

BIGGEST PHOSPHATE FIELD

The largest know phosphate field
in the world lies in the Rocky
mountain region in the States of
Idaho, Montana, Utah and Wyo-
ming. Phosphate in this general
region, according to a report of
the United States Geological Sur
Vey, was first discovered in north
eastern Utah and southeastern
Idaho in the vicinity of the Idaho
Utah Wyoming state lines. From
this locality the deposits have been
traced north. southeast ana west
halfway across the states OF Idaho,
Utah and Wyoming, and north
ward to the vicinity of Helena, in
west-central Montana, until now
the phosphate beds are known over
an area extending approximately
900 miles in an east-west direction

deposits that are commercially
valuable. In many places the
phosphate beds, although present,
occur at surh great depths below
the surface that they will probably
never be mined and in other parts
OF this completely folded area phos-
phate beds have been entirely re-
moved by erosion. However, the
tonnage of bigh-grade phosphate
rock in this region is enormous,
the estimates running up into the
billions of tons.
The rock phosphate itself can
usually be recognized in the field
by its oolitic texture that is, by
the fact that il is n mass of grains
like small shot cemented together.
The rock varies in color from
coal black lin some places il was
originally mistaken for coal to
dull gray or iron stained. Most of
the phosphate rock emits, when
broken or struck, a fetid odor.

MUCH WORK
FOR POSTMASTERS

Now that the postmasters
throughout the country care en-
deavoring to attain some sort of
conception of the amount of bust
ness that will he done under the
parcels ! ost system, it may not be
out of place to venture a prophecy
based upon a coalition.
To mention the condition first
the parcels post system must prove
to be both expeditions and reliable.
Presumably, under the watchful
eye of the government, it will he
so.
Taking it for granted, then, that
this condition will be complied
with, here is the prophecy.
The postmasters everywhere will
have their hands full. They will
have all the business to which pro,
phecy is based is %sclear. The gov.
eminent will carry parcels of rs
much as eleven pounds in weight,
and will carry them at average
rates very much lower than those
which have been accorded by the
express companies. Given two
methods of transportation equally
good and one decidedly cheaper
than the other. and it is evident
that the public will select the
cheaper one. H~enceforth the ex,
press companies will carry parcel:
up to eleven pounds decidedly
cheaper than they have heretofore
or they will do a diminished bust
ness. Sacramento Union.
