Drinking is justified by prohibition

Gen Andrews said. I'VE are trying
to get further and further away from
such methods of obtaining evidence.
An agent is not supposed to go out
on parties or to drink with any one to
obtain evidence of transportation, The
only instance in which the department
approves of his drinking is when it
is necessary-~for example, in certain
types of SpeakeasieS--to obtain evil
dence that liquor is sold. The evi-
dence should be sufficient to obtain
conviction.

The prisoners were not closely guarded

ton. Going still further In his imperi-
GUS dream, he sent representatives to
China and Japan to discover what Amer
lean products those countries might con-
sumo and what they had to give in ex-
change. In line with this interest he
established direct steamship communica-

Orient. encouraging Japanese railway en-

ship them by his lines.
Through a long and active life, Hill

ley about 20 miles east of Adler gulch.
They crossed the river and followed
Squaw gulch down to Adler gulch and
went into camp a mile below where the
town of Virginia City now stands. They
went into camp about 6 o'colck in the
evening and Hughes started a fire and
began to prepare a frugal meal. They
had only two pounds OF -four and a
pound of bacon left, besides a little cof-
fee. The Indians had stripped them of
everything else in the way Of food. They
had only one pan left and this they
used both for a dough pan and for pam
ming dirt.
The horses were turned loose and
strayed a few hundred yards below
camp. Fairweather vent after them.
Returning with them he tod Hughes he
would like to have the pan with which to
wash a pan Of dirt. Hughes dumped his
dough, which was pretty stiff. out on an
old flour sack and gave Fatrweather the
pan. Bill and Sweeney tool the pan
and went down to the creek bar. INT
scooping up a pan Of surface dirt, leaves
and twigs, they took the whole thing to
the water and washed 1t.
That first pan Of dust washed in
Alder gulch yielded 80 cents in gold. The
next morning the whole party went to
work on the bar and inside of an hour
and a half had dug a hole two and a
half feet deep and were washing out
between 81 and SIS to the pan.
AS they were all out Of grub they
decided to prospect up and down the
gulch to see how far the pay dirt extend
ed SO that they would know what they
had to come back to. In the afternoon
Edgar killed IN antelope on the hill
above them and this gave them a two
days supply Of food. They remained
there two days longer and prospected
Adler gulch from a quarter of a mile
below their camp up to where Virginia
City now stands. Then they pulled
stakes and started for Bannack.
They reached Bannack about June l
and in two weeks started back with 800
men. Down at Point of Rocks, below

gambler in search of instant profits al
any expense to his victims, Hill took 6
longer view Of things, basing his vision
on definite realities, every state should
be closely studded with homesteads; all
the arabic land should be titled by com
petent farmers; every facility should be
afforded them to help improve their crops
n their livestock; and markets should
be provided in Europe and the Orient TIC
provide freight for the long haul.
With these ends in mind, Hill set to
work to conquer the Northwest. He sent
agents into the older states to tell the
farmers and their wives of the wonderful
opportunities on the advancing frontier
Not content with words, Hill or
