PULSE OF WESTERN PROGRESS ( Hinging Down the Curtain On the Famous Wyoming Rustler War , MINING OUTLOOK IN BLAOK HILLS Worthing for n Iout Vein nl ( lold Amount ' nnd ll po llion of Stnln I.nnit In Idaho A Itomnrci1 ) > 1o Dittnngo Cuao Nown or tlio Northwest. The collftpso of the prosecution o ! the In * Yadcrs of Johnson county , Wyoming , adds ono moro to the many triumphs of wealth over poverty. The outcome of the caio wns foro- nhodou'od In THE BIB : weeks nso nnd wns given the force of certainty by tbo ruling of the court on the application for n change of venue. If Johnson county wns dlsnoscd to prosecute the invaderi and the mureiororf of Champion nnd Hay tbo docliton transferring the trial'to a community Irlondly to the tirls onore , coupled with the fact that the princi pal witnesses to the latter crlmo bed been spirited nwny , destroyed tbo uopo of Judic ially avenging the wrongs suffered. Johnson county has nppiirentjv thrown up thonpnugo and It U doubtful If It will ap pear to nrosocuto when the case is called on the 2.i ; ! Inst. It Is equally certain that a mu lct Ity of the prisoners will Do far beyond the call of Iho court. It was a fortunate coinci dence that the mon who dlrcd thoToxnns to clean out the so-called rustlers of Johnson county had ample means to pay the cowboy I'lnkertons $ > a day and provide for thotr wants after being rescued from the mad dened HIS tiers. On the other hand , the county on which the burden loll was unnblo to meet the expanses of attorneys , Iho cost of bouidlng prisoners and court costs. Even with means to defray tlioso necessary ox- pcnsos It would have been oxtravngunt folly to press the prosecution with scarcely ono chnnco In a thousand for conviction. Ton days ago Sheriff IColloy of Laramlo county applied to the court for relief from the eo'tt of guarding and feeding the forty- two prisoners. The expenses 'amounted to $100 a day. Ho stated Unit Johnson county failed to provide tno necessary funds and ho wnt unnblo to advance the money. Before the court rendered its decision last "Wednesday the guards quit and the prisoners were given the freedom of tbo city. The oroer of the court releasing - leasing them was mi empty formal ity. ICaoh of the forty-two men entered a personal recognizance In the sum of $ W,000. the lot qualifying for 81liSO,000. Not more than a dozen ol the men are worth the amount of U > o bond , or half of it. The Texas Plnltortons promptly lott the country , wore paid off In Omaha and dnparlod for ibelr homes In the L.ono Star stnto. A\ bat the rustler war cost the cattlemen Is dlflli'iilt to determine. Tbo pay of twenty Texuns at $ " > a day for four mouths amounts to $12OlU. ) To thU must bo added railroad lore and rations to and from their Iioines , which would swell tbo amount considerably. lud" ' fees of prominent lawyer * employed to conduct the prosecution ranee from fO.UOO to SIO.OOO. A pretty 1 nrgo wad was dlstrloutcd to grcaso the machinery by which the two witnesses of the murder ot Cnhmplnn nnd Hay wfiro spirited out of "Wyoming , and It Is safe to say thov did not liurry oil to eastern summer resorts for their health alone. A number of "coromls- Bloners'1 rnndo frequent secret excursions to Omnha , Chicago and Washington. To top these Items , the cost of outfitting the raid was no small nmount. The "revolution" designed to exterminate the so-called cattle thinvos made a roll of (50,000 look loan and hungry. Whut have the catlloinon to show for the expenditure ? Two men dead and several cabins buruoa to the ground. Looking for u I , nt Vein. Lost mines nro Invested with a golden halo that , llko n will-o'-tho-wisp , lures prospectors to endure great hardship } . Every mining state has ono or moro of tbeso glittering mag nets , most of them figment * of Imagination , the creations of mineral Mulhattoas. A lost Vein Is equally alluring. Diligent efforts nro now being made to find what has become of the Whltlatoh-Union poltt vein , supposed to Do located at Union vlllo , Mont. , tbrop miles south of Helena. After old Jim Whltlatch found the famous nlno : , writes a correspondent , company , composed for the tnnst part of Now York capitalists , teen out between { 4,000,000 and ? f > , UOO,000 worth of gold and then lost the vein , Tito underground operations were car ried on under ibo supervision of ono S. J. Jones , a man of whom li is said that ho had no previous knowledge of mines or mining. However that may bo , the fnoi ( till remains that under his administration of effulrs nt the mine thu vein was lost and hns sever since oocn found within the limits ol the old National Mining and Exploring com any's ground , though something llKo four or S vn millions of money has at various times been expended In looUlng for it. It seems that la drifting along Ibo course of the vela west a "fault" or bronlc was encountered about half a mile from the twenty-stamp mill of the company , , nt which point tbo vein cither wont down Into tbo oartb or up to ward tbo surface. Some of tbo minors who wcro working In the mine nt the tlmo and who were , even at that early day , acquainted with the peculiarity of ' 'faults , " Insisted that to llnd the vein It would b6 necessary to go 1 deeper , hut Jones decided iliat the vein wont op , and ho accordingly gave orders 10 Co up after It. They did so , nut have never succeeded in finding it. A location called tbo Pedro , about naif u mlle west of the Whltlatch- Unlon workings. It Is claimed , is on tbo same vein. This mliio produced wonderfully rich froa-milllni ! gold quartz , and was extensively worked In ilia early days , but wns closed down , owliifr to the inability of the tnachiu cry then employed to cope wltb tno quantity of water encountered , The theory that the vein Is not on the sur face of the ground and that tbo break die not throw it up and did throw It down Is \no\v celling to bo qulto generally DollovuU , , o much o that sovor.il companies have lately . boon formed to prospect the ground by sink 'lug ' shafts until their money runs out or they ' .auccood In finding the lost bonanza. The . , richness and abundance of the gold-hearing quartz in the old Whitlatch vein Is wol Vnoivn to all old minors In tbo state , there xoro If the men now sinking to llnd tbo lost lode should happen to bo lucky enough to run ai-ross It they will reap a rich reward for their on te'rprlso and faith. j t A Colobrntml Undo , A suit for damages for personal Injuries which dragged through 'ho courts of Sni Francisco and California for fourteen years was brought to u close a few days ntro by the payment ot a Judgment amounting to & ) S , 80S.81 one of the largest over paid In tno United States for personal Injuries , The L-asu was i.'ullllod Cioorgo J. smith vs Whlttier , Fuller & Co , Both parties were in business in San Francisco.

Never before In the history of the Black Hills , asserts the Uoadwood Pioneer , hns the nliilng outlook been so bright. Eastern In vestors and speculators have had tholr atten tion called to the unparalleled opportunities offered for investment , and a largo amount of inonov is being daily put into the mining ndustrtos of the country. Tbo recent purchases of eastern parties , of iomo of Iho most promising mining Interests n linlJ mountain , mean the speedy erection ot largo reduction works to treat the vast ootllos of ore , which will in all probability bo located in Ucadwood , All Iho plants so far erected are running with much bucccss , nod each dav adds to the output. The Homestako group continues itc steady production , and reports from the Caledonia , based on tbo sintcmonls of Ihoso who know , indicate that itnpaylnc bolter now than It has overdone. Hecent discoveries on the lower levels of rich ere bodies have materi ally added to tbo value ot the property , and will soon place It among the dividend payers. In ibo southern hills , development workun tbo Keystone has shown it to bo of Immense value , and St. Paul parties who recently purcbased It have oanugb faith In Its rich ness to erect a l-O-stiimp mill lo work Ibo ore.

Since the forcible ex pulsion of Mongolians several years ago , no Chinese hnvo lived or do no business In Tocoma. Now It is claimed that the rail road company waits Chinese merchants in order that their tiado may help the now steamship line to China and Japan. The feeling in Taeoma Is still billor against the CliinotiO aud this sentiment , Is aggravated by dull times and diQlculty of securing em ploy nicnt. .South Dakota' * Whnit Crop. South Dakota promises this year lo sur pass Iho record as a wheat producer aud proudly wave Ibo pennant ever loaded gran aries. Last year South Dakota harvested 40,000,000 bushels and this summer's in creased acreage , with an Immense- yield in counties where the crop was u failure last season , will so good Judges contend bring Ibo total yield up to S7.000.000 bushels.

The board of commissioners , to wliloh the mftttor wns finally rofcrrcd , hns had it under considera tion for n long tlmo. "H has decided that the Missouri Hvor pomts'"nro not entitled to this differential , nnd elves as n reason the fact that the hogs nro bought cheaper nt the western points than ntCnlcngo , which should bo an oftsot to the rtllToranco In ralos. This decision wns noticed at otico by A. B. Garrotson , who manages never to overlook a feature of the railroad or business situation that Is of Importance to Sioux City , snvs the Journal. Ho wai thoroughly allvo to the Im portance of the decision , and when soon by n reporter said nt once that It was a palpable case of discrimination ngalnst the western interests. "Thny put It on the ground that hoes nro ehoapor hero , " ho said , "tjo uro hogs cheaper In Chicago than In Toledo or Boston , but they don't apply the snrao rule In that direc tion. If I am not mistaken eastern points bavo protection against Chicago , certainly Chicago has n differential ngalnst us In Ilia east ; and now It Is adjusted so that Chicago controls all the business sou In of the Ohio rlvor. The west Is ilUcrltnlnnted against on every hand. This newest decision Is based on n principle that would In lie invnj- from this section uvery trace of tbo advantage which Its location with rcf- orcnco to tht. industry entitles it to , and dis criminates against vs in a roost dangerous way. This ou ht to bo enough , wltn nil that has gone before , to arouse our people und sot thorn at work. Of course , wo can't oxpeot much aid from the heavy packers at Omaha and Kansas City , bccauso tholr lauding in terests after all are nt Chicago. Sioux City and the Board of Trade und resident packers of Omaha and Kansas City must take up this matter.Vo could tnko it before the inter state commission and knock out that do- clslou , but It would take moro than the packers to do it. Boards of trade ought to take It up nnd do nil possible to have those discriminations stopped. " The real Importance of the decision that had Intorcstcd Mr. Garrotson lies in the fact that It Is a linal indication of the disposition of Iho roads to light against western points and In favor of Chicago. At least , such is thu vlow taken by men who have studied thu series of movements on the part of tbo railroads In the Intercut of the eastern pack ers. Ono gentleman , commenting on the de cision , said It wai simply nn effort on tbo part of the great railroad corporations to sat up an nrlilluial harrier against the west to keep the industrial center ot tno wast nt Chicago , where ttio roads have their greatest Interests. In order to carry out this pollcv which Is n very short-slehtod ono for thorn oven from n purely sulUsh point or view they nro helping build up a monopoly to control thn great busi ness of the central valtoy , Iho production of foodstuffs ; tboy are pursuing n policy thnt Is calculated to not only enhance tno price that tbo consumnr of wheat must pay for It , but also depresses tho.prlco received by the producer. Aud who is the gaincrt 'Iho railroad , which gats a longer haul cut of It , nnd tbo Chicago rlngof packers that controls the business and cnu.manipuluta prlcos to In own advantage. It'amounts to n union of railroads and packers for tbo purpose of rob bing both the producer and the consumer. There is not u parson lu the country who has not a moro or less direct interest In seeing tbo west given Justice , and It can bo had if the west will go about it in the right way to sccuro It.
