| PULSE OF WESTERY PROGRESS | Ringing Down the Curtain On the Famous Wyoming Rustler War, MINING CUTLOOK IN BLAOK HILLS Wearching for a Lost Veln ot Gold—Amount and Disposition of State Land in 1daho— A Remarkable Damage Case— News of the Northwest, The collapse of the prosecution of the in- waders of Johuson county, Wyoming, adds oue more to the many triumphs of weaith over poverty. ‘I'he outcoms of the case was fore- shadowed in Tne Bre weeks azo and was given the force of certainty by the ruling of tho court on the application for a change of venue, If Johnson counly was disposed to prosecute the invaders and the murderers of Champion and Ray the decision transferring the trinl to a community friendly to the vris oners, coupled witn the fact thai the princi- pal witnesses to the latter crime had been spirited away, destroyed the hope of judic- fally avenging the wrongs suffered. Johnson county has apparentjy thrown up the sponge and it is_doubtful if it will ap- pear fo_prosecutoe when the case 1s called on the 221 inst. It is equally cortain that a ma- Jority of the prisoners will be far beyond the call of the court. It was a fortunate coinci- dence that the men who nired the Texaus to clean out the so-called rustiers of Johnson county had ample means to pay the cowboy Pickertons $) a day and provide for their wants after being rescued from the mad- dened rustlers. On the other hand, the county on which the buraen fell was unable to mevt the expenses of attorneys, the cost of bosrding prisoners and conrt costs, Even with means to defray these necessary ox- pensos it would have beon extravagant folly o press tho prosecutiou with scarcely ono chance in a thousand for conviction. Ten days ago Sheriff Kelley Laramie county applicd to the court for relief from the cost of guarding and feoding the forty- two prisoners. Tho expenses amounted to #8100 a aay. He stated that Johnson county Tailea to provide tne necessary funds and be ‘Wwhas unablo to advance the money. Before the court rendered its decision last Wednesday the guards quit and the prisoners ~ were given the freedom of the city. The order of the court re- leasing ~them was an empty forual- itv. Each of the forty-two mon enterad a personal recognizance in the sum of $40,000. the lot qualifying for $1,630,000. Not mors than a dozen of the men are worth the amount of the bond, or half of it. The Texas Pinkertons promptly loft the country, were aid off in Omaba and doparted for their omes in the Lone Star state. W hat the rustier war cost the cattlemen is difeult to determine. The pay of twenty Texans at & a day for four months amoun to $12,000. fare To this must be added railrond and rations to and from their which would swell the amount siderably. The™ fees of prominent lawyers empioyed to conduct the prosecution raugze from ,000 to £10,000. A protty | arge wad was distriouted to grease the machinery by which the two witnesses of the murder of Calimpion and ay wero spirited out of Wyoming, and it is safe to say thev dia not hurry off to eastern summer resorts for their health alone. A number of ommis- sioners’ made frequent secret oxcursions to a, Chicago and Washington, To top ns, the cost of outfitting the raid ‘was no small amount. Tho “revolution’ designed to exterminute the so-called cattle thieves mado a roll of 0,000 100k lean and hungry. What have the cattiomen to show for thé expendituro? ‘Two men dead and several cabins burnea to the ground. Looking for a Lost Ve Lost mines aro invested with a golden halo that, like & will-o'-the-wisp, lures prospectors toenduro great hardships. Kvery mining state has one or more of theso ghttering mag- nets, most of them figments of imagination, the creations of mincral Mulhattons, A lost wveln is equally alluring. Diligeat efforts are now being made to find what has becomo of the Whitlatoh-Union £old vein, supposed to be locatea at Union- ville, Mont., thres miles south of Holena. After old Jim Whitlateh found the famous mive, writes a correspondent, a company, composed for the most part of New York capitalists, took out between $4,000,000 ana £5,000,000 worth of gold and then lost the veln. Tuo undergroui:d operations were car- ried on under the supervision of one S, J. Jones, a man of whom v 1s %aid that he had no previous kndwledge of mines or muing. However that may be, the fact still remains that under his administration of affairs at tho mino the vein was lost and has mever since veen found within the limits of the old National Mining ana Exploring com- any’s ground, though something like four or EX: millions of money has at various times u expended in looking for it. It seems that 10 drifting slong the course of the vein west a ““fault’” or broak was encountered about half & mile from the twenty-stamp mili of tho company, ‘At which point tho vein either went down into the earth or up to- ward the surface. Some of the miuers who were working in the mine at tho time and Wwho were, even at that early day, scquainted with the peculiarity of ““faults,’” insisted that to fiud the voin it would bo necessary to go deeper, but Jones aecided that the vein went ap, and he nccordiogly gave orders to g0 up after it. = They did so, but have never succeeded in finding v, A location called the Pedro, about nalf a mile west of the Whitlateh- Union workings, it is claimed, 1s on thesame vein. ‘I'bis mine produced wonderfully rich freo-milling gold quariz, and was extensively worked in the carly days, but was closed down, owing to the Inability of the machin- ery thea employed to cope with the quantity of ater encountered, he theory that the vein is not on the sur- face of tho ground and that the broak did Dot throw it up and did throw it down is Dow getung to ve quite generally belioved, %0 much sothat sever. 1 companies have lately been formed to prospect the ground by sinlk- Aog shafts until their mouey runs out or they succeed in finding the lost bonanza, The Fichness aud abundance of the gold-bearing quartz in the old Whitlatch vein is well ¥nown to all old minars in tho state, thero- ro if the men now sinking to find the lost lode should happen to be lucky onough to xun across it they will reap a rioh reward for thelrentorprise and faith. A Colobrated Onse. A suit for damages for personal Injaries which dragged through the courts of Sau Francisco and California for fourteen years was brought to a close o fow days ago by tho payment of & judgment amounting to &38,- 5.51—one of the largest ever paid in tne Uultea States for porsonal injuries.

Mining Outl k In the Hilis, Never before in the history of the Black Hills, asserts the Deadwood Pioneer, has the mining outlook been so bright. Eastern in- vestors and speculators have had their atten- tion catled to the unparalleted opportunities offered for investment, and a large amount of money is being daly patinto the mining industrios of the country. The recent purchases of eastern partios, of some of the most promising mining interests in Bald mountain, mean the speedy erection of largo reduction works o treat the vasi bodes of ore, which will n all probability bo located in Deadwood. All the plants so far erected are running with much success, ana cash day adds to the output. The Homestake group continues its steady production, and_reports from the Caledonia, based on tho statements of those who know, wdicate that it is paying better now than it has ever done. Racent discoveries on the lower levels of rich oro bodies have materi- ally added to the value of the property, and will soon place it among the dividend payers. In the southern hills, development work on tho Keystone has shown it to bo of immenso value, and St. Paul parties who recontly purchased it have enough faith in its rich- ness to erect & 1:0-stamp mill to worlk the ore.

Trouble is expected at Tacoma, Wash., over the attempt of certain merchants, backed by the Northern Pacitic company, to induce Chinese wuolesale merchants to return to that city. Since the forcible ex- pulsion of Mongolians several years ago, no Chinese have lived or do ne “business in Tacoma. Now it is claimea that the rail- road company wants Chinese merchants in order that ther trade may help the now steamship line to China and Japan, The fecling 1 Tacoma is still bitter against the Chineso and this sentiment is aggravated by dull times and dificulty of securing em- ploy ment, South Dakota promises this year to sur- pass tho record as a wheat producer and proudly wave the pennant over loaded gran- aries. Last year South Dakota harvested 42,000,000 bushels and this summer's in- creased acreage, with an immense yleld counties wherethe crop was u failure last season, will--so good judges contend—bring the total yield up to 57,000,000 bushels, Esti- mates run all the way to 00,000,000, Taking 50,000,000 bushels as an estimate of the marketable crop, the harvest means a roll of $35,000,000 for the farmers of the state.

FAVORING CHICAGO. e t of the Latejlwnision on Houge Rates. Another decision azhinst western packing interests has been midde, this time by the board of trafie comisdioners, comvosed of the chairmen or the Vhrious trafic associa. tions. 1t has just bécn. handea down, in the caso of the application of soma of the Mis- souri river packers for a differential against Chicngo oo rates on packing products shipped to Pacific coast points, The board of commissioners, to which the matter was finally referred, has hAd 1t under considera- tion for a long time, "It has decided that the Missouri river points’’are not entitled to this differential, and gives. as a reason tho fact that the hogs are bought cheaper at the western polnts than at Chicago, which should be an oftset to the difference in rates. This decision was noticed at once by A. S. Garretson, who manages never to overlook a feature of tho railroad or business situation that is of importance to Siout City, says the Journal. He was thoroughly alive to the im- portance of the decision, and when seen by A roporter said at once that it was a palpable case of discrimination against the western interests, “Thay put it on the ground that hogs are cheaper here,’ he said. ““So are hogs cheaper in Uhicago than in Toledo or Boston, but they don’t apply the samo rule in that direc- tion. If T am not mistaken eastetn points have protection against Chicago, certainly Chicago has a differential against us in the oast; and now it is adjusted so that Chicago controls all the business south of the Ohio Packing river. The west is discriminated against on every hand, This newest decision is based on & principlo that would take away from this section wvery trace of the advantage which its location with ref- erence to this industry entities 1t to, and dis- criminates against vs in a most dangerous way. This ought to be enough, with all that has gone bofore, to arouse our people ana set them at work, ~ Of course, we can’t expect much aid from the heavy packers at Omaha and KKansas City, because their leading in- terests after all are at Chicago. Sioux City and the Board of Trade aud resident packers of Omaha and Kansas City must tako up this matter. We could take it before the inter- state commission and knock out that de- cisiou, but it would take more than the packers to do it. Boards of trade ought to take it up and do all possible to have these discriminations stopped.’’ The real importance of the decision that had interested Mr. Garrotson lies in the fact that it is a final indication of the disposition of tho roads to fight against western points and in favor of Chicago. At least such is the view taken by men who have studied the series of movements on the part of the railronds in the interest of the eastern pack- Ono gentloman, commenting on the de- cision, said it was simply an effort on the part of the preat railroad corporations to set up an artificial barrier against the west to keep the industrial center of tho west at Chicago, where the roads have thoir greatest interests. In order to carry ont this polioy— which is a very short-sichted ono for them even from a purely sellish point of view—they are helping build up a monopoly to control tha great busi- ness of the céntral valiey, the production of food stuffs; they are pursuing a policy that is calculated to not only enhance the price that the consumer of wheat must pay for it, but also depresses the. price received by tho producer. And who 15 the gainer? ~‘I'he railroad, which gats a longer haul out of it, and the Chicago ringof packers that controls the business and can manipulate prices to its own advantage, It amounts to a union of railroads and packers for the purpose of rob- bing both the producer and the consumer. There is not u person in the country who has not u more or less direct interest in secing the west given justice, and it can bo had 1f the west will go about # in the right way to secure it. —_— C.

Then E. J. Willetts of Kansas was introduced and spoke for nearly two hours. His speech was simply a reiteration of the calamities that the peoplo wero enduring in Kansas and everywhoro olse on account of the republican government, Ho was attentively listenoa to and when he painted tho wrongs of the farmers in lurid colors and intimated that the triumph of tho people’s party would be followed by the acauirement of untold wealth by the poorer olasses, ho was enthusiustically ap- plaudod.

This medicine, for nearly fifty years, has enjoyed a reputation, and made a record for cures, that has never been equaled by other preparations. AYER'S Sarsaparilla eradicates the taint of he- reditary scrofula and other blood dis- eases from the tem, and it has, deser- vedly, the confidence of the people. AYER'S Sarsaparilla “I cannot forbear to express my joy at the relief T have obtained from the use of AYER'S Sarsaparilla. Twas aflicted with kidney troubles for about six months, suffering greatly with pains in the small of my back. In addition to this, my body was covered with pimply cruptions. The remedies prescribed failed to help me. I then began to tako AYER'S Sarsaparilla, and, in a short time, the pains ceased and the pimples disappeared. I advise every young man or woman, in case of sickness result- ing from impure blood, no matter how long standing the case may be, to take AYER'S Sarsaparilla.”’—H.
