Tup democrats of. South Dakota must have bt'cn woefully "out of sorta" lo pick up iv printer for governor. It was a bad case of political blacksmitliing , which tlio republicans will knock inlo "pi" before snow flies. PKESIDKNT HAIIKISON roads a brief but vigorous lecture to congress on the necessity of curtailing expenses. The enormous Increase in appropriations threatens to not only wipe out the sur plus , but lo create a deficit. TIIK actual deficit of Maryland's treas ury foots up ono hundred and thirty-two thousand four hundred and ono dollars. With charming democratic generosity the defaulter used the money to cancel political debts contracted in running for congress , and thus made himself solid with Ihe party leaders. Tin ; furniture trust , ostensibly organ ized for the purpose Qf concentrating capital , reducing expenses and giving the public the benefits of economical management , has decided to advance prices "sufllciont to moot the increased cost of materials. " It'is the same old storv. STATISTICS of llio snlo of boor in the United State's for the year ending April 30 , furnish instructive lessons on the folly of prohibition. The figures show that Iowa with prohibition consumed more beer than either Texas , Georgia , TcnncKSco or Virginia , while Kansas slaked its thirst with a quiuitily surpass ing four high license slales. Tinc Iowa eviction brigade suffered n decisive repulse in the courts recently. The tesl case from O'Brien county , in volving several thousand acres of land , was decided in favor of the occupants , the court declaring that the farmers had both a legal and equlhiblo tlllo , and that if the evictors possessed any rights they wore barred by the staluto of limita tion. The result is a gratifying victory over mercenary claim jumpers. TliK.rolurnsof the llrut month of high licensein Baltimore domonslrato the superiority of legal regulation over pro hibition and outlawry. Over ono thou sand saloons have boon closed up , the business of criminal courts decreased aed the annual revenue of the city In creased from ono hundred and llfty thousand to four hundred nnd sixty thousand dfillnrs. This is the spirit of the Nebraska law nmrohlng on , gather ing strength by experience , and proving wherever tested the best regulator of the liquor trafllo yet devised. EDMUNDS' bill reorgonlztng the government of Utah has boon favorably - ( ably reported to the somite. If the bill becomes a law It will go far toward overthrowing Mormon domination in the political affairs of the territory. By the tornm of the bill the present legislative districts nro abolished nnd the power of reapportionment conferred on the gov ernor , territorial secretary and board of commissioners. In addition those olll- cors nro authorized to fill the various Bubordlnnto offices , from territorial auditor down to assessors. It also pro vides for jv now registration of voters under existing laws , which materially limits the oxorclso of the franchise by Mormons. The object of the measureis to destroy the power of Iho church in polities. With complete control of the election machinery , the apportionment of legislative districts , coupled with the steady growth of the Gahttlo population , the doom of the Mormon church us n po litical machine Is virtually scaled. TO MOVK JiV THB WKST. A. Now York paper announces thr "tho Hon. Graver Cleveland will noon g to Wisconsin as the guest of the Hot W. P. Vilas. " The announcement 1 also made that the Hon. David Bonnol Hill will attend the ceremonies of ut veiling a statue of ex-Vlco Prcsldor Hcndricks in Indianapolis on July 1 This is in pursuance of nn cngagcmct made by Governor Hill n year ng < and It is probable it wl bo made the excuse for a inor extended vinit to the west. It it ) undo : stood that the governor is seriously cot sldorlng such a trip , and doubtless . nc altogether as a matter of pleasure an sightseeing. So far as his visit to I ml turn is concerned it is altogether probr bio that ho will employ the opportunll in making such alliances as ho can fo the next presidential contest. I is said that the Hill democrats i Now York have already decide upon { .hoir . presidential ticket n Hill and Gray , and unqucstlot ably the ex-govornor of Indiana will b found in full and hearty sympathy will this arrangement. Thereis no gooi reason why Mr. Gray should feel any In torcst In the political fortutics of Grove Cleveland. When the last democrat ! convention mot Gray , who was then gov crnor of Indiana , was moro talked c than any other man in the country fo the second place on the ticket , and it i not to bo doubted would have recclvd tlio nomination but for the interference foronco of Mr. Cleveland. The dome crats in Indiana who do not like Mr Gray succeeded in convincing Clovclani that it would bo unsafe to nominate bin and ho was shelved for Tliurman , consc quontly the ox-governor of Indiana can not bo presumed to have any great levi for the ox-president and doubtless wil very readily make a tie-up with Gov ornorHill. The visit of these democratic leader and presidential aspirants to the wcs will bo interesting and perhaps instruc live. They nro the two men who jus now occupy Iho largest space in dome erotic attention , and it will bo wortl whllo to observe and make comparlsoi of the Interest and enthusiasm tlio ; arouse in the democracy of the west The ox-prosldent will have some ad vantage should ho bo accompanied bi his charming and deservedly populai wife , as undoubtedly ho will bo , but i will not bo difficult in making i proper allowance for this in ostl mating the relative popularity of these leaders as shown by the demonstrations accorded them. It will bo wise on the part of both of them to visit the west , Democracy in this section is in need o something to encourage and stimulate it , and besides there is developing through' out the west a fceling-thnt it is time tc look elsewhere than to Now York foi presidential timber. Ideas grow very rapidly in this section , and If the Now York candidates do not make some at tempt to counteract the appeal of out Denver contemporary , the liocky Mount ain News , to the democracy to give the west a chance at the presidential office , they may find some western man very much in their way when the contest for the prize comes tip in 1892. MAYOJl CUSIIIXQ'S VETOES. . Mayor Gushing is entitled to the thanks of every taxpayer of Omaha for liis recent vetoes of ordinances and ap propriations that are clearly in violation of the charter. And it is to bo hoped that the mayor will continue to veto avery contract and every appropriation that would create an overlap or cause a deficiency in the funds sot apart for specific purposes. The fact that the mayor's vetoes have been overridden by the council combine is no discredit to the mayor. Ho can much bettor afford to DO snubbed in that way than to ? o on record as a co-conspirator against the taxpayers. At the very worst ho may have to incur the displeasure of men whom the people will repudiate : iext fall if they are not brought to a lialt by the courts before the expiration 3f their terms. TKADB I It IB quite possible that instead of the xmimorco of the United States with ither nations being enlarged , so far as ) iir own products , both of the farm and factory , are concerned , it will materially leclino in the event of the adoption of -ho fiscal policy now proposed. This : ountry docs not enjoy a monopoly of -arlffs , and if it persists in making the : > oliey of protection so rigid us to render Llio American market no longer advan- .ageously accessible to foreign producers ind manufacturers , it must bo expected .hat they will effectively appeal to their governments for the application of tiliko ) olioy to American products. Already the retaliatory spirit is being Manifested , with only the promise of lighor tariff duties to incite it. To what jxtontmay it not go in case that promise s carried into effect ? Prance has adopted n-ohlbitory duties on corn , Mexico is mid to bo contemplating an export duty m silver-lead ere and other legislation vhlch will show the displeasure of that rovornmont with the proposal to tax the nest Important of Mexican products , nnd hero are from other quarters promont ory Intimations of what may bo expected ihould the United States adont the pol- cy of the tariff bill now under consld- iratlon by the senate. It Is not to bo uippoHfd that the countries of Huropo ind South America , whoso present trade vlth this country would bo unfavorably lite-clod by our proposed policy , will make to effort at self-defense in the event of ho adoption of that policy. Wo ire talking of negotiations for ho .removal of the restrictions mposoil by European governments upon ho Importation of American cattle and neats. What response must wo roason- ibly expect if wo adopt a course radi ally hostile to the interests of these lounlrioa ? Wo have professed a desiree o cultivate larger and moro intimate rado relations with other American iountrlos and called a conference of heir representatives with this end in low ; but In the face of this wo pro- > ese a jKl'cy ' of exclusion from > ur markets of the most vnlu. iblo products of gome of those lountrlca. They are not blind o this , as the comments of some of their mpora show , nnd it is not to bo doubted " * they will find a way to resent what they must regard oa a narrow and solfls policy on our part. ThualiiHtoad of encouraging nn oj tension of our trade rolalloliB with otho countries the tendency of 'our jralicy , n now proposed , must bo to b.rlng about mutual crippling of trade. It was lo n ' purpose lhat wo Invited rv 'conference c American nations if such a policy is t prevail , nor need wo seriously troubl onraelvosover the question of creating ; merchant marine or providing any otho facilities of commercial Intercourse be twccn nations , such as were rccoir mended by the Pan-American confoi once. A tariff on the McKinley pin would remove all demand for those aid to tin enlarged commerce. Tun secretary of the treasury hn called the attention of congress to a lln grant coso of discrimination against th United Stales on the part of Canada 1 the mutter of the importation of tcr coffco and coin. It appears that in th Canadian customs tariff , coin , coffco an tea are on Iho free llsl except when coir ing from the United States , in whtcl C4iso thcro are made dutiable , and thl palpable discrimination , in the opitiio of the secretary of the treasury , calls fo relalialion on llio part of Iho Unllci States ut once , there being no discrimi nation against Canada in the mailer c these articles , as they are all on Iho fro list. The Canadian tariff was frumci with reference to discriminating n much as possible against the Unitei Stales , and this very stupid policy ha been far moro harmful to Canada lhan t < lliis country. But whether it is necessary sary for us to follow a bad example Is i question. THK financial situation remains nbou as it has been. There is u fair domiuu for currency and rates are steady a eight per cent , whllo deposits are ao cumulating. General Irado grows some what languid with tlio continued warm weather and the approach of the mid summer holidays , but jobbers still report port orders liberal , both by mail nnc from salesmen on the road. Collection ! continue pretty good , and perhaps at nc tiino in three years 1ms there beer heard so litlle complaint in this reaped as now. In produce commission quarter ! trade is reported brisk < md the markol well supplied. Atlontion is being concentrated contrated on iho canned goods market , and packers are placing the now crop of vegetables and fruits. Sugar is un changed. Coffee is weaker , and the bears claim that prices must go lower. TriK deeper the methods of the council combine are probed , the moro evident il becomes that the affairs of tlio oily art manipulalod and decided in Iho secret meoling places of the gang. If the mem bers wore honestly working for the in- loresls of Ihe cily , why are certain coutv cilmcn ignored In the deliberations ol committees ? Why are the men outside the combine refused access lo papers ro- [ erred lo comtnilleos of which they arc members , their wishes spurned and their assistance crefused ? The reason is not difficult to Iind. The gang could not Lrust their schemes to outsiders. All re ports are cooked and primed in tho'local Tammany hall and rushed through Iho council regardless of consequences. CKNSUS SUPEHINTJSNDKNT COOKK jives assurances lhat the enumeration in t liis city will equal if not o'xcced the most sanguine expectations. This is very encouraging , but our citizens must continue to assist the enumerators in their task. Not only should known ab sentees bo recorded , but hundreds are iablo to bo omitted owing to Iho inabil ity of enumerators to meet thorn at office , workshop or homo. Every citizpn hav ing knowledge of such omissions should immediately notify the local office. The ; imo Is short and prompt action is neces sary. TIIK Iowa fee sharks are working the old game. They virtually defy the No- n-aska law and harass employes of in- lerslalo railroads with garnishments re gardless of the nbUily of the debtor to pay the 'claims. This melhod of forcing collections frequently causes the discharge of men who have families to support , nnd it is to bo hoped that the result of the tesl case will bo a warning lo Iho Nebraska contingent of the Iowa cost mills that a stale law cannot bo violated with im- mnlly. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ THK frequent assaults upon citizens by he pouiulmastor's gang calls for the vigorous prosecution of the assailants , lesporadoos clothed with brief author ity should bo matte to fool that the people ple have some rights which they musl respect. There is no excuse for turning loose on Iho public a gang of loughs armed with clubs nnd revolvers , whoso conception of duty Is limited to gather ing the largest possible amount of foes for the poundmastor , regardless of law or property rights. IN LEXDINO their ripe experience to the jnll job , Davis , Wheeler & Co. man aged to loose sight of the orders of the council as to the cost. It Is a significant fact thai none of the bills wore lost in the shuffle. A niFFUKisNCtt of Ihlrtcen hundred dollars between the orders of the council and the nclual cost of the jail job indl- uatos that there 'is something rotten in Denmark. Senator SUHIUI II.

OTIIF.n tjANDSTIIAN OUHS. Thcro can bo but few Intelligent mtd.patrl otic Germans who do not rcgnrd ns nn oul rage on their country the summary rolcgatloi of Prince Bismarck to private life at the ngi of seventy , when ho has before him in nl likelihood many years of energy nnJ useful noAs. History will condemn William II. fo ; n blunder which In statecraft assumes tin dimensions of a crime the blunder of tic prlvlng Germany of a prime minister whosi abilities ntid services outweigh these of nl the Hohcnzollerns put together , with th1 possible exception of Frederick the Grcal who , it ia well to recollect , loft no heirs ol his body. From this point of view the his lorlnn will place tdo present German cm peror below Louis XIII. , who suffered Uicho lieu lo govern Franco to his last hour , am far below Louis XIV. , who , impatient as ht was lo rule nnd conscious of his ca paclty lo do so , would not lift n Huge to disturb the aged Cardinal Maznrin , win had watched faithfully over the Interests o : the dynasty nnd of tlio country during the king's minority. The services of Utcliollex ; and Muzarln to the Bourbons wore Insig nificant compared lo llioso for which UK Hohcnzol'erna ' are indebted to Bismarck When the latter entered upon his ofllclal career Prussia was n parasite of Austria and her representative wns the butt of tlio Frank fort diet. In every stop of her amazing clo- vation to tlio leadership of Germany and the hegemony of Europe the hand of BIsmarel may bo traced. Common decency should have prompted the beneficiary of such tro- mcndous exploits to leave the rcius of power in the hands of his benefactor. That , on the contrary , bo seized the flrst pretext for dis missing the creator of united Germany nnd cxnlterof tbo Ilolicnzollcnis should and ulti mately will make William II. the target ol universal scorn. * * Accustomed as wo nro to regard Spain as ono of tlio most reactionary countries of the glebe , n feeling of surprise will certainly bo created by the announcement that nowhere iu Europe has labor legislation made moro rapid progress than in the dominion of King Alfonso XIII. Notcontent with substituting universal suffrage for the comparatively re stricted franchise which has been in force until recently , the government has drawn up and submitted to ; the national legislature at Madrid a series of laws for Iho bcnollt of the working classes that are far in advance of the labor legislation enacted elsewhere in Eu ropo. The severe restrictions with regard to the labor of wdinoti nnd children , nnd the in surance of the working classes , on the Ger man plan , against accident , sickuoss and old age , constitute'only a division of the measures iu question , which further provide for tlio ostabllsamont of a legal workday of eight hours , for the transport free of charge by rail of bona UdcJ laboring men in search of employment , ' and for tUo organization in each townj villagp'nnd commune of a special "Junta" or municipal board charged with the care , of the interests of the working classes , and with their protection against tyranny or oppression on the part of the masters. The ijill , which is of a comprehensive nature , has lieoti referred by the cortea to a parliamen tary committee presided over by the former 'orelgn mlnlstir , SonorMoret y Prondorgost , who is ono of the most intimate friends and .rusted lieutenants of Premier Sagasta. * w * The policy of disarmament if generally fol- owcd In South America would open the way 'or a marked advance in political govern- nent. With constitutions modeled after that of the United States the Spanish- American republics are not self-governed but nro ruled either by powerful fatnlllcJ , mlltical cabals , or military dictators. The ; arrlsonof the capital practically controls elections nnd the forces of public opinion nro lot organized. So long as the armlos nro in existence the progress of essential demo cratic government will ba retarded. The retiring president with the support.of the army practically nominates and secures the election of his successor. Lot the military 'orcos bo disbanded and popular elections vill bo introduced with the needed restraints of self-government and enlightened public opinion. Not only would disarmament aid powerfully the arbitration movement in averting the outbreak of war , but it would also involve radical political re-forms in Spanish nnd Portuguese America. Tlio lulled Slates has a magnificent opportunity or exerting its inllncnco with com manding force on the sldq of arbitration nnd hereby promote the highest ends of clvlliza- ton. The proposals of the pan-American congress , which have boon so energetically upportod by the Uepubllc of Brazil , ought tote to carried into effect with equal heartiness ind vigor by the administration with the sanction of congress. * * The date of.BIsmarck's visit to England has not been definitely fixed. When ho reaches ho British shores it will ba time to expect onto interesting developments. .Tho Caprlvi government , having bornc-ns long 1x3 it could .he annoyances of insulting reflections on the Dinporor contained in reputed Interviqws with- Hsmarck , has Issued a circular letter to the orelgn representatives informing them that ho utterances of Bismarck are merely these of a private person. It is possible that the vlsdom of this move may bo open to question ; > ut Its results nro pretty certain. If Bis- nnrck has really miide , or at any rate tacitly athorcd , such rejyilrks when his utterances iccessarily borrfa l Ind of semi-official charao- cr , ho is not llkcily. to restrain his tongno vhen the govurpuuMt has officially declared hut no such Interpretation should bonttauhod o his words , Tlio ono restraining Influence vhlch remained biis , been removed , and In England the worlU 'Will expect to hear Bis- narok talk , And Whatever also may bo true f this nlngulnr uplsode , It Is nt least certain hat Bismarck tyj.ioroughly , ) embittered with ils situation auij nurses an abundant supply f contempt andjhatreil for his sovereign. For the prcsfn'i , Brazil Is under military government , niuv'iKe form of its future politi cal organization * ! is' by no means apparent. I'ho sober IndepoAllent press distrusts the pretensions of political leaders in favor of a federation of states and points to the , absence" Df any serious efforts to organize states pre paratory to federating them Into a union , wor- .Incntly asking ) iow a federation can bo jlTocted "with nothing to fodorato. " Com- ilalnt Is made that , iu Instances whcro local letlon In that direction has been taken , such ittcmpts have been mysteriously suppressed. The numerous appointments of army officers .0 civil governorships are viewed as Implying \ disposition to maintain Uio source of au- .horlty nt TUo Janeiro , and the severe re ( iron- ilon of trilling expressions of popular dUcon- .ent are construed as Implying a concealed lurposo of usurpation among the rulers. TUo iilo News dooH not hcwltuto to say that the iroticnt situation points to a "centralized , llctatfjrial republic , rather than a decentral ized , federal system. " It docs not scorn In ixwslblo , therefore , that the men who eve threw the Empire may have to face n popuhi revolt against their own ambitions. * The building of n railroad entirely nero the Ilusslan empire , from west to cast , won ! bo a grtat undertaking for n nation distil guishod by the highest civilisation an possessed of the most unlimited credit nn the most complete facilities. That th enormous undertaking has been contemplate by Kusstn and work actually begun , convoj nn Idea of the work civilizing forces at doing in the Asiatic continent. A road n ready runs from St. Petersburg , by way < Moscow , to Samara on the eastern bank < the Volga river. At the latter city , or lowt Is llio only iron bridge across Ibis grot waterway , and from llioro to Ufa , a distant of 303 miles cast , the road has been built. ] Is now proposed to coutlnuo the line ncroa Siberia to Vladlstook , on the Japan sea , distance of O.GOO miles Iroin S Petersburg. When It is recollected thn this is more than twlco the length of a llu from Now York city to San Francisco som conception of its magnitude may bo formed Should this undertaking bo carried out I will bo nn important stop in the direction o revolutionizing the character of the Kusslai government. Wherever the railroad pone tratcs the enlightening , humanizing inlli cnccs of modern civilization are sure to foi low. At once much of the horror which nt lends Iho banishment of prisoners lo Slbcrl would disappear. The accounts which rcacl the western world hnvo always roprcsontci the overland Journey to which exiled prlsot crs were condemned ns responsible for mucl of their suffering nnd distress. With rail road transportation to the remote provln cc n great deal of this would necessarily boabol ishod. * Whllo America is keenly Interested in it Columbian exposition , Spain nnd Itally ox hlblt hardly less Interest in plans to celebrat the memory of the great discoverer. A Genoa a great festival will bo held nnd i largo sum of money has been appropriated fo monuments to Garibaldi and Iho duke of Gal Hera to bo unveiled on the occasion. An oper by iFranchcttl is to bo produced , foundoi on incidents In the lifo of Columbus , nnd i geographical nnd historical congress will revive vivo the story of the great discovery. At tin same time thai Italy is honoring the memory of Columbus the event will bo splendidly coi cbratcd throughout Spain. The nation o Columbus' birth and the nation that cncour aged his great cnlerpriso are ones that mai almost as appropriately as America celebrate the miadii-ccnlcnnlnl of his great discovery Their demonstrations will lw aline prelude t ( the mightier celebration which will follow In the United States nnd add to the interest ii that great incident. w w w Despite the very strict control which th < censor's bureau exorcises ovcr-tho press ir Kusssia , the educational development of the people Is advancing surprisingly. The peri odlcal publications are multiplying in llio large cities , and the number of books printed Is increasing every year. Thcro are nt present fourteen printing ofllces in Odessa. The number of books printed by them has doubled , nnd Iho number of copies has trebled slnco 1883. Next to Odessa , Kazan appears as a centre of literary activity , f Almost every ordinary city has a dally paper of Its own , and Weeklies and monthlies are published in towns of less significance. The Imperial Technical society , in rendering an account oi these facts , ignores the largo circulation ot foreign boolcs oln Russia. French , German and English publications are much read by the educated subjects of the czar , and more books and periodicals are clandestinely Im ported from foreign countries than the censor's bureau , with all its might and vigi lance , is aware of.

On the 9th Sheriff Jack May of this xwnty , brought him in an open hack to this > lack for arraignment before a special term > f the circuit court , Klrby at llr.st plaved : iiuy but soon dropped that game and lias \\ni-o \ \ acted with iw much unconcern us If lie md never harmed a soul on earth. Klrby is > ked for u continuance until the September orm of which was granted by Judge Hub- > ard. Yesterday Klrby's mother came from Ar- cansos to see him. An Interview was allowed utho onico of Lawyer Hedge , Mrs. Klrbv , in ordinary country woman of Ilfty. brofco orth in loud walls of grief. Clasping her on in her arms she pulled him to his kncos , Tying : ' 'Get down , my poor boy , nnd pray o God for morcy. " The old woman prayed orvently until she fell fainting on the Hour. Clrby was badly broken up by this and prob- shed some genuine tears of i-upentuneo. Uter being taken buck to the guard room his Dvlal manner soon returned and ho made tsta and laughed as loudly as boforo. As tlioro Is no jail in this county the prison- rs uro fed at the hotel tnblo with the other [ Hants , and the other morning your corro- ponduut found himself in the unusual posl- ion of sitting at breakfast facing this iiiur- lerous cowboy. Ills companion was a howo- hlof named William Garrison , who goes from icro to the pen on a thrvo years' sentcnco.

Tlio business house were all closed , the llromcn were paradln In gaudy uniform , the streets crowded wit ladles nnd gentlemen , all bearing Hewers t strew on the graves of the patriotic dcai After witnessing the imposing pageant fo about half nn hour wo partook of n sumptuou dinner at the Spearll.sh hotel and cmbarkc on ono of Tony Gen-lg's conches for Sur dance , Wyo. Fifty miles of ourjournev ha been completed when wo drove up to th American house. Sundance is situated at th extreme southern- limit of the Bear Lodg range. The city Is beautifully located , nestled be Iween the Bear Lodge , Sundnnco and th Green mountains , with Inynn Cam in th gloomy ills tun co towering lllto n weired sent ! nel above them nil watching and guarding a it were , the approaches to the Black range o Butto. Wo breakfasted sumptuously at Bcr Agnr's ranch on Inyan Cant creek and boyotu ascended the dlvfdo which gave us a dowi hill gmdo all the way to Newcastle dostlnix to become the great coal emporium of tin west. Wo wcro shown over the city by tin genial mayor of Now Castle and nlso llio gen eral manager of Kllpatrlck Bros. & Collins vast mercantile interests , Mr. Frank W Mondell , who drove up the canon sovoi miles over n good wagon read parallelling th' ' B. & M. track to the town of Cambria the headquarters of the greatest coal deposit 01 this continent. Hero the nccompllshec mayor of Newcastle turned us over to Prof Joseph Hemingway , a geoljrist of distinctlot and and universally conceded the best nu thority on coal on the two hemisphere win has charge of Kllpatriclc Bros. & Collins' ' vast mining interests nt Newcastle , Wyo Following our guide wo entered the KWoo' ' wide and 7-foot 4 inches high tunnel , of the Jumbo mine that is now producing 1,000 ton ; f coal daily. That was discovered In Augnsl ISS'J. ' Through the tunnel , drifts und cross cuts , wo thoroughly examined this glgantU deposit that will average at a low estimate , eight feet in thickness. This coal according to Prof. Hemingway's geological in vestigation , was formed during the Jura trlassic age , this circumstance alone speaks volumes in favor of its commercial value. Most of the discovered coal beds or the eastern slope of the Uocky mouutatns.nnd oven westward through Washington , Van couver Island , and extending through the Canadian Northwest Territory , nnd as fai east as Winnipeg , are found to bo llgnitlcnnd formed during the recent or cretaceous age. These lignltic coal beds cannot , properly speaking , bo termed , bituminous , lacking ns they do the essential qualities that constitute un old "mineral" coal. The difference of time between the trinssiu nnd the cretaceous period can bo measured only by geological ages. It would seem , however , by careful observation that this immense coal deposit has shared in the general effect of the erup tive force of the Black Hills , followed by universal corosion , nnd thus the coal "blos som" was brought to light in the bottom of the deep canyons. Such nro the qualities of this immense deposit that it cannot bo ex hausted for at least , a century , nnd possessing every quality that can bo desired in n Jlrnt- closs bituminous coal. Having shown Lieu tenant Schwalca the vast deposits of gold and silver ores of Bald mountain , Ruby basin , and other deposits in Lawrence county before our departure , nnd having satislied him beyond a perndvcnturo that the ( luxes neces sary to reduce these ores existed plentifully in our midst , it only remained to show the dis tinguished explorer that the most potent factor of all for their reduction- coal nnd coke was also here in absolute in exhaustible qualities. Tha mining Is operated by the latest improved machinery and to such a degree of magnitude that Prat. Hemingway intends the coming year to mine ns much coal as the whole state of Colorado did in 088(5 ( , i. o. , 4,000 tons daily. Fourteen Jeffrey mining machines nnd eight power drills ( the latter Prof. Hemingway's own in vention ) , are in operation propelled by com pressed air from the glgantio plant that oper ates the Jumbo and the Antelope mines , lying immediately opposite to each other , the canon of Oil creek dividing them. A trestle 80 feet high connects the two mines that are oper ated conjointly by the powerful machinery of the plant above referred to , a short descrip tion of which might not bo out of place. The machinery consists of -10-liorso bollera , two compressing engines 350 and 15U-horao power each , ono 100-electrIo horse power en gine , two dynamos 00 und -10-liorso power , the main stack or tower is 80 feet high and I ) feet in diameter in the clear. The tubes from the boiler rise to ati elevation of ( X ) feet before. Intersecting with the tower , making a Jlstunco from the boilers to the top of tower 140 fuel. Most of the immense machinery ivas freighted in by mules from Alliance be fore the B. .t M. was completed to Cambria. Underneath the coal chutes nnd trestle is a Mai distributer that distributes the coal 3vcnly in the cars ( the load underneath the trestle ) in forty minutes. Three screens 18 feet long mid (1 ( foot wide , each over the jthor , sifts the coal before entering the cars. A. bituminous Kmnsoy coal breaker 5 feet in iiumetcr nnd ti feet long , weighing iifteen tons , breaks the huge masses of cool before mtorlng the screens tilmllnr to the work of the Gates crusher In the Homcstako ind Caledonia mines with the exception lhat 000 limncn.so teeth , an mi nuet of the crusher , breaks the coal is It is forced down the chute at un angle of .wenty-suven degrees. It can break U.OOO ; ons In ten hours and b Prof. Hemingway's ) wn invention. There Is u vein of line clay tight and a half feet In thickness underlying , ho coal deposit on the Antelope mountain ind sppamtcd from the coal deposit by nnoth- > r eight foot vein of slltclons sandstone. IJrlck has boon made from this i-lay of such u ; uporior quality that an eight inch spike was nsortcd into the brick and the furnace tire nelted It but loft tlio brick intact. The con- itructton of 100 boo hive coke ovens has com- nonred that will , when completed , produce ,000 tons of coke per week. A mlunturo oinulry has been orectml that Is turning out rou castings from two pounds to ono ton and L iiulf , also casting all the brass furnishings , tells , etc. , for the Immeiiso machinery of tlio ilant.
