Evidence of the boundless wealth of the

HoriliT Journalism.
The Ciaur d'Alono Barbarian Is abroad In
search of scalps and shekels In WuUaco ,
Idaho , and linmodiato vicinity. The 11 rat or
introductory so tip dnnco glvos a glimpse of
the exhilarating freedom of expression and
reckless demand for social and farolc reform
characteristic of Journalism in n verdant
inlnitiK camp. In saluting the startled com
munity the editor Cristo-ically exclaims :
"The world mlno oyster is
VVhlcn I with sivord shall oncn. "
A short sermon on Jncltpots lonas a piquant
air to the editorial pairo. A few excerpts
will show the drift oT ah ablo-bodiod "loader : "
"Look not upon the jackpot with covetousness -
ness , for It is tilled with costly uncertainties ,
and sorrow ana distress follow in Its train. "
"A bobtnllod Hush Is an abomination nnd a
sorrow to a player at all times ; but when
the llftli card Ills tbo aching void , It is a joy
and a hapnlncsstoits holder. "
"A stack of blue checks Is a delight to the
speculator ; but nsU.cltof whites Is a trillo
and an Irritation to behold. "
"Tho roar of the 'sucker' Is music to the
ears of the man who wins ; his lamentations
nro ns the sighing of the wind. "
In politics the Barbarian pronosos to main
tain u largo Juicy sllonco , unless candidates
show a touching liberality with their
"stacks. " Social llfo appears both varied
nnd entertaining. "A fresh crop of yostnl
virgins from Denver , " wo are told , nro
disporting themselves In town. "Night be

struck town with a cargo of bi
chloride or gold nnd a fatal dostro
to establish a Kcoley Institute. "Today , "
says tbo Barbarian , "his carcass hongs limp
and lifeless , decorating the tamarack polo In
front of Coyote Sam's crystal palace. " Hero
is a touching obituary : "Tho beautiful little

State Water Uljlit.s.
The nttympt of Colorado land owners to
divert the wntors of the Big Lnrmnio rlvor
from Wyoming to the former state provokort
a vigorous protest from the people of Wy
oming , and Is HKoly to land In the courts at
an early day. Great Interests nro Involved
in the determination of the rights of states
to the wntnrs of interstate streams , and ' .ho
growing importance of Irrigation must soon
bring about uniform laws In the states vitally
concerned.
The Now York engineering Hccord cites a
precedent : "When the question of Increas
ing the water supply of Now York was being
actively discussed some eight years ago , and
a proposition was made by prlvato parties to
dullvor to Jvoxv York water from the Hamapo
region , which Is In Now York state , on the
west sldo of the Hudson river , by moans of
pipes across that rlvor , Now Jersey tooir.
stops to prevent such u diversion of the Ham-
ape water , because , like In the Wyoming
case , the natural How was through the stato.
A commission was created to resist , when
ever octTislon nroso , any such attempt , by
appeal to the United States supreme court if
necessary. The result of such an appeal , It
seems reasonable to suppoio , would oo In
favor of the contesting state , though in the
case cited the matter was dropped and the
Issue avoided. "
Another Ore Working I'rnccs * .
A secret process for working ere Is bolng
given a practical test at Virginia City , Nov.
The process Is one discovered by the brothers
Louts and Aloxls Jnnln. By moans of their
discovery the Janlns expect to ba able to
work our ores to a higher per cent than Is
now bolng douo by our milt men. Louis
Janin was at one time superintendent of the
( ionliut Curry mlno , also was afterward con
cerned In mills on Six-Mile canyon In which
were worKed lullliius of Comstock ores ,
therefore no is well acquainted with the nn-
turo of the material upon which ho has
undertaken to operate.
U Is in stiver that the saving u expected to
ba made. It is claimed that tbo gold in the
ere will bo saved as at present , and in addi
tion n very considerable per cent of silver
now lost.
In working by tbo now process uo change
tn the machinery and apparatus at present In
our mills is required. Stamps and pans are
used as by the usual Counted : process , but
the chemical treatment of the pulp js differ
ent ; also there probably some dllTercnco'ln
tbo mechanical manipulation of the material
in tbo amalgamation pans.
Tlio Hiijiplilro
No company was over floated lu London
that hart such an array of great names us the
Montana Knpphlro company. Men la every' '

Lord Chelmsford , who is the chairman , mar

Manor , Marquis of Tweoddalo , Lord ChurchIll -
Ill , marquis of Broadnlbauc , earl of Chesterfield -
field , carl of Aiu.ro and many others promi
nent tn eoclul and business circles. Those
opposed to the Montana nuppulra have con
tended that It is not u fashlouaulo
ntono. It looms , though , that the
founders of tbo English company should bo
able to mnko thorn popular.
The ontlro stock of the company , 450,000 ,
was subscribed whoa the books closed In
London , Novotnoor n. The land to bo
acquired by the company Is known as the
Sprntt gem fields , about f.OOO acres , on Kldo-
rado and other bars , on the Missouri rlvor ,
about twelve miles from Helena.
Ono of the largest minors of sappulro

Whllo the Dakota * were under territorial
government the [ Farmers alliance acblovod
notable success In owning nnd managing
elevators. Legal regulations and state super
vision , coupled with alliance competition ,
curbed the power of the elevator syndicates
nnd forced them to grant the receiving and
shipping accommodations which distin
guished the co-opcrntlvo elevators. The suc
cess of that movement encourages the
alliance to roach out Into a wider Held , A
prominent alliance leader in South Dakota
announces * that the organization pro
noses to join with many others
In a co-onoratlvo Interstate reciprocity
schema. Ho says the business departments
of the alliance In twonty-two states have
united with lending business men of Now
York citv nnd formed n company similar In
Its plan of operation to tbo celebrated Hocho-
dale system in England and to the ZIou co
operative stores of Utah. The organization
has largo means at Its command. It Is
claimed the advantages to the alliance are
twofold , at least.
It will have the business ability nnd expe
rience of some of the shrewdest men In tbo
nation at Its back , while there will appar
ently bo plenty of capital to moot any emer
gency which may arise , nnd to push tno
business as circumstances permit. In return
the alliance will give the organization its
patronage.

In the extreme northwest , within n radius
of not tnoro than 150 miles from Spokane ,

nnd greatest silver-load districts In tha
world. Tholr present development Is a
matter of which to bo nationally proud.
Tholr probabla product reaches a llguro sur
prising , their possible output astounding.
Think for n moment of a crescent 500 ratios
in extent dotted Its whole length with val
uable claims ! Ills not a matter to Do proven ;
they nro there awaiting transportation to
bccoino mines. Tbo Couur d'Alono
district alone supports a popu
lation of 30,000. Fourteen mines
ship an average of fourteen tons of concen
trates dully. To give the reader an Idea of
the operation of this district in money , there
nro over 3,000 minors arid laborers at work
above and below the surface at $ ii to &I.GO
per day , making a daily pay roll of over $10-
000 , or"v > 00,000 per annum , The capacity
will bo doubled next season , so the sum of
$7,000,000 will bo taken from this llttlo dis
trict nnd put Into circulation in nsingloyoar.
Those figures are accurate and consequently
intorostlng , as they Illustrate by comparison
the wondnrful producing power of the gi
gantic semicircle before mentioned.
Pluck nnd Pcrilstoiioy.
Thirty-six years ngo , In 1S. > , a raiding
party of Bannock Indians swooped down on
the shack of H. ! ' . Dowell , on Crow Crook ,
southern Oregon , and paralyzed a mulo.
Mules were almost worth their weight
In nuggets tn those days , but Mr. Dowoll
wasn't porktsh' Ho swore n mighty big oath
and demanded $ -00 of Unulo Sam. Through
eighteen congresses nnd nine administrations
ho has boon persistent ID season and out of
season In pressing his claim. Vigorous , ng-
grosslvo nnd persistent , hn Das never boon the
typical disappointed claimant , heart-sick
with waiting the slow action of an ungrateful -
ful government , but rather a thorn In the
llesh and an aggravation to the dilatory
powers. At last his reward came , and ho
stood a concrete Illustration of all the adages
which foretell the triumph of proservanco.
Slowly tbo opposition to his demand were
away under his constant attrition , and n few
days ago Dowell stood with Uncle Sam's
promises to pay the bearer $ ' ' 00 in bis hands ,
and that mule was paid for.
A Model Viilo llotory.
Publishing democratic newspapers In
Montana is a fruitless and tedious occupa

upon for sustenance. The Hed Ledge Picket
changed hands nnd politics recently. It

of tno democracy. When an opportunity
