party will bo moro or less hampered with
the disastrous record he has made , but no
honest republican will attempt to palliate the
crime or to stay the officers ot the law In
meting out merited punishment. The party

Wlsner Chronicle : Hundreds and thou-
eands of honest republicans In Nebraska
who place the welfare of the slnto above
party name are rejoicing that the old ring
politicians who have been holding the party
Up and filching from the public for years
are completely unhorned and the real con
dition of the state's finances disclosed. The
purer elements of the party had been striv
ing for a long tlmo to wrest the control
of the party and Its conventions from the
corrupt combine , but without success. They
had longed to see the party purify Itself until
the ) lost patience , and In 1S9I and 189(1 ( forsook
seek party for principle and turned the state
over to the party promising reform. The
entire republican press now stands aghast
at ths state of affairs as they arc shown
to exist , and ceases to condemn the bolters
ot the two last campaigns whaio courage
made the chastisement of wrong doers ef
fective for the public Rood.
Wood Hlvcr Interests : fix-Auditor Moore
and ex-Treasurer Hartley are being hauled
over the coals for filching from the public
treasury nnd betrnjlng the public trust. It
these parties are guilty of the oltcncei
charged against them the full penalty of the
law should be meted out to them. The pub
lic morals and the republican pirty have
hpon too much Imposed upon by traitors to
their tru t of late and It Is high time tint
a fitop ehould be put to It. A man Is doubly
a thief who steals not only the public money ,
but robi the people of their confidence In
their public servants. The public has been
too much Ircllned to condone such otfencci
and say that the guilty paity was such a nice
man and that at heart Jie didn't Intend any
wrong and tint mercy rather than Justice
should be intted out to him. We are firmly
of the opinion that It Is high tlmo to do
away with sentiment and get down to busi
ness.
Alnn Ilecotd : The people of Nebraska ate
all pleased at the action of the Nebraska
legislature In Rotting to the bottom of the
shortages of the ex-stato officers. While
these' steals have been made by republican
officials , It Is In no way a party matter , now
that the thefts have been committed , but If
there Is any way to recover any portion of
the shortages , we should nil lend our efforts
In assisting In the matter. Past experiences
with defaulters of the people's money have
been Indeed dismal failures , and whllo the
defalcations of Hartley and Moore represent
over half a million dollars , It Is Indeed a
question If the state will ever recover enough
of the amount to wad a gun with. If such
acts as tlicso continue , and the hand of the
law deals as gently with the offenders as It
has In the past , It will but result In an In
crease In the number of lynch cases and a
corresponding decrease In the numbers on
the court docket The taxpayers of the coun
try are sick , tired and disgusted with such
acts.
acts.Norfolk
Norfolk Nons : nx-Treasurer Hartley's
arrest was the only thing that could be done
under the circumstances , and the wonder
Is that he was not arrested long ago. When
a man walks out of olllco and bluntly re
fuses to account for half a million dollars
of public furds , It Is high tlmo eomothlng
bo done to bring him to a realizing sense
of where ho Is at. For sublime nerve and
supreme bravado. Hartley lins put up an
exhibition that Is worthy of admiration and
should ontltlp him to a warm place behind
massive walls and barred windows for many
years. The claim that Is now advanced that
Hartley never qualified for his second term ,
and consequently he and his bondsmen are
not liable for the money which ho received
on behalf of the state , Is a very flimsy ex
cuse , and should not bo allowed to stand
for a moment. If Hartley Is short in his
accounts , and there seems no doubt but
that he is , his bondsmen should bo compelled
to make good the shortage and ho should bo
prosecuted with the same vigor as any other
criminal. There has been altogether too
much defalcation of public moneys in this
state and It is tlmo a few examples be made.
Let tbo populists proceed with their work
and let them do It well.
Central City Nonpareil : Ex-State Treas
urer Hartley has been arrested for the em
bezzlement of about a halt million dollars
of. the state's money. He persists that ho
has not stolen a dollar and that It given
tlmo this money will bo turned over to hla
successor without the loss of a dollar to
the state. Tills sounds all very well , and wo
hope Mr. Hartley will ho able to nnd will
keep his wold. It Is not pleasant to be com
pelled to think of our public officials as
possible thieves. But the question Is , how
lauch tlmo does Mr. Hartley want In which
to make this settlement ? Ho has had a
reasonable time already and we agree with
Treasurer Meservo that It Is high time that
a Hcttlcmcnt bo mado. Mr. Hartley know-
that ho would havd to make this settlement
with his successor , and should have been
prepared to do so at once. The delay justi
fies the public In susplclonlng crookedness
on his part. It honest , let htm make an
Immediate accounting , and If dishonest , lot
the law take Its course and give him the
full prescription. Wo have had too much
dishonesty In our public officials already ,
regardless of party , and If the state legis
lature wlubes to redeem Itself , lot them
pass a law ttat will give officials no privi
leges other than strict obedience to the
duties pertaining to their office.
Mlndcn Gazette : The peculations of Treas
urer Hartley and Auditor Moore deserve and
are receiving the condemnation of all good
people , regardless of political considerations.
If conditions art us bad as they seem to bo ,
the fact that they have heretofore been men
ot unimpeachable character and Integrity
should be no bar to their disgrace and pun
ishment to the full limit of the law. Moore ,
especially , has been characterized as the
"clean" man ot his party , and even populists
nnd democrats , who , whllo they did all they
could to de-feat his election and retention In
olllco , spoke of him as the ono honest man
In his party. These men have not only dis
graced themselves and their families , but
they .have brought disrepute and dishonor
upon the party which has been responsible
for their elections and Induction Into office.
There can hardly be any good or acceptable
OXCUEO for the course they have pursued.
There are n whole lot of us who would Ilko
to have money to Invest In piofltublo mines
or put Into banks at a good rate of Interest ,
but that fact would not justify the misap
propriation of funds which did not belong to
us. In order to do It. The lepubllcan party
will have to suffer the consequences ot the
acts of Its tiusted servants , and Hartley and
Moore have given the party quite a jolt , yet
none nro moro severe In their denunciations
or more earnest In their criticisms of this
whole matter than the republicans them
selves.

That there are now In the hills more Idle
miners and worklngmen ot all classes than
can find employment oven during the busiest
season Is a fact , says the Deadwood Inde
pendent , that should bo borne In mind by
all who are contemplating going there In
search ot work. But for the experienced
prospectors , with sufficient means to carry
them through with their work , and for capi
talists seeking the most promising Invest
ments , the field In South Dakota Is the best
In the world. To ono not familiar with the
\ost territory to be disposed of Its remark
able activity might Indicate that all the
choice ground has been staked off , but this
Is by no means the case. Plenty of promis
ing ground jet remains for the gold hunter
In the region of Englewood nnd west of
Bald mountain and Spearflsh canon. A vast
region of unexplored territory lies between
the headwaters of Spearflsh and the Black
Unites In Wyoming that cannot bo pros
pected to any advantage until the snow dis
appears In the spring. This region has an
altitude of nearly G.OOO feet above the sea
level. Is heavily timbered , and the snows that
fall In the early winter remain until spring.
It is an inviting field for the summer pros
pector , as the region abounds In game , and
the formation Is the same as that of Ragged
Top. Another favorable locality Is the lime
stone range , that commences southwest of
Englewood , nnd continues down through Pcn-
nlngton and Custer In the southern hills.
Some of this region has been looked over In
the past , but on the whole It has be n scarcely
prospected. The meager examinations that
have been made show glowing results. As
Ragged Top , Boulder Park and Slaughter
House gulch have proved that gold oxuts
In the limestone , It Is safe to conclude that
the latter regions will bo alive with pros
pectors the coming spring and summer. The
great drawback to mining In the Black Hllla
for several years has been the lack of re
duction plants to treat the ore. With re
duction plants for the treatment of all ore
that could bo produced at little cost for
mining there Is scarcely n doubt that GO.OOO
tons of ore could bo produced dally for the
next fifty jears. The ores ot the archcan
formation with few exceptions will have to
bo crushed and concentrated , then heated
by smelting , cyanide or chlorlnatlon , which
ever method Is best adapted to each par
ticular ore.
ore.GOOD AS A MINT.
Last summer no ono dreamed that the
Carrlso mine would insldo of six months
show up a body of ore that would rival any
thing over struck In the west for size and
richness , writes a correspondent of the
Cheyenne Sun-Leader. When Mr. Marrln
took hold ot the Carrlso he believed thatvho
could make wages , but nothing moro , with
the aid of Edward Walsh. Morris Johnson
and John McNeil p. fine shaft house 18x36
feet was built , The building was fitted up
with everj thing in Its proper place , an up
right engine and boiler , a forgo and a work
bench being placed In this room and still
plenty of room being left to move around In.
When the work was finished on top the
work commenced below. In a few dajs
free gold began to show In each bucket as
it came to the surface. The vein began to
widen out and the ore showed up in greater
richness. The ore panned from $50 to $100
per ton , then $200 , then up to $253 , but
still higher rock which showed no gold
when weighed and panned has since given
a net icturn when the bullion was weighed
of $1,813 33 per ton. I panned a pleco ot ore
taken from the bottom of the shaft , which
gave about 10 cents from an ounce ot rock.
Not a particle of gold showing in the quartz.
Mr. Merrln showed mo a certificate from
the miners' assay ofBco at Salt Lake City
ot a not value of $298 20 per ton , this from
a small pleco of the quartz carrying pure
sulphate , no gold being visible , even with
a powerful glass , so that now the ore Is
known to run from $298.20 to $1.813 per ton
in a vein of over twenty feet. How much
wider the chimney will get when depth is
attained , I will not venture to predict. I
have been In mining camps eve since I
was a boy and I have never seen a body of
ore that -will equal It for size and richness
There Is already raoro ore In sight than
Mr. Marrln can work out In a full > ear.
There Is over $200,000 In sight , this at a
depth of sixty-five feet. Think of four men
building a. shaft house and extracting $30-
000 in 100 days , and that from a worked
out mine. The early-day miners did not
know what they had In the Carriso. If the
Carriso is proving to bo such a mine , what
will the Franklin , Mahomet , Doc Barr , Mary
Ellen and a score of other mines bo when
opened up ?
MONTANA BOVINES.
"The cattle on the north Montana ranges
have passed through the winter In excellent
shape , " said John Harris , manager of the
Benton and St. Louis Cattle company , speak
ing recently to a representative ot the Spo
kane Spokesman-Review. "Tho winter
started In bad early In November , and the
snow was from one to three feet deep on the
ranges. Severe storms prevailed and the
outlook was serious. Early In December ,
however , the snow melted from the range
and ever since the -weather has been excel
lent. Our company was the first to range
cattle in that section of the country In the
vicinity of the upper Marias. This was about
fifteen years ago. This range was not much
thought of by other cattlemen , for which we
were glad , as It gave us unrestricted use of
the range for several years. The advantages
of the now range soon became apparent nnd
the stockmen kept driving their hcj-ds to
north Montana. The cutting down of the
Blackfoot and Asslnlboln Indian reserva
tions threw open a large tract of splendid
cattle ranges. A large number of steers have
been shipped In during the past two years ,
and now these ranges are pretty well
crowded. The raisingof cattle Is not as
profitable as It was a few jears ago. There
are a great many losses occur from other
causes than storms. During the last ten
years the wolves have Increased In great
numbers and they destroy a great many
calves and weak stock during each year.
There Is now a bounty of $3 for each wolf
and coyote , and since that bounty has been
paid thousands have been killed , and now the
wolf hunters have stopped the Increase by *
killing pup -wolves , for which the same f
bounty Is paid. Another thing which Is of- \
footing the ranges is the great number of
farmers who are taking up land on the
water courses and fencing In their ranches.
Thla winter there were thousands of ante
lope on the ranges , driven south by the se
vere November storms. It has been reported
that during the cold spell they came close
to Havre in great droves. "
NOVEL , HOME INDUSTRY SCHEME.
A novel factory for Oregon Is now undtr
consideration by some of Portland's business
men. The articles of Incorporation are to }
establish a company that will engage In '
manufacturing woolen goods and clothes
therefrom In Portland. The newestablish - a
merit , says the Orcgonlan , Is Intended to re- i
colvo wool as It comes from the sheep and '
turn out clothing made to order , H A 111 , so
to cr-eak , receive sheep at ono door , and from
another send forth tailor-made clothes , ready
for wear. The new company has received
.much encouragement from business men of
the city , and Interested parties believe the
venture will prove a success beyond doubt.
A largo number of employes will be required ,
and the stimulus such an establishment wilt
glvo business In Portland U the desideratum
all clacses hope for , Charles Coopey is the
principal promoter of the new concern , The
plan , as outlined by Mr. Coopey , Is to move
to this city a woolen mill now in operation.
To this plant additions will be made , and a
department for manufacturing clothing will
also be a part of the factory. A complete
scouring apparatus will bo used , so that wool
can be received direct from the producers ,
and when manufactured into cloth the tailor
establishment In connection with the factory
will put It Into the form ot clothing , Mr ,
Coopoy has been figuring with several per
sons for Borne little time In regard to organ
izing the naw company. The woolen mill
can bo moved all right , as the owners are
eager to get a location In Portland , This
plant Is estimated at $30,000 , which amount
the proprietors are willing to take In stock
of the new concern. The entire capital
stock , while not settled definitely jet , v/lll
be from $75.000 to $100,000 , probably the lat
ter sum. This will be- divided Into sharco of
$100 each. Many persons have already slg-
iilflcd their willingness to take shares. The
factory will turn out woolen goods , blankets ,
clothing , etc , Including uniforms of all kinds ,
When running at full capacity , the mills
themselves would employ about 200 men ,
while the number in conhectlon with the fac
tory would yobably ; eaqh near 300 hands.
SINKING RAJLRg D TRACK.
The accident on the Spokane & Palouse
at the crossing ot 'MbKenzle marsh , near
Marshall Junction , -by which ten or twelve
rods of track disappeared Is one almost , If
not quite , without parallel , says the Spokes
man-Review. i The svari > rf Is like many others
In that region , being so nearly level that the
water stands all over It for months In the
spring , but the lack ot Inflow causing It to
dry out In time to permit the cutting of the
luxurious grass that the water brings Into
being , making tha ground extremely valu
able for the production of hay. It has been
utilized for this purpose for j-ears , and , ex
cept for high w'ntcr undermining the
track , was an Ideal location tor a railroad.
The track croraed the marsh on a nil four
or five fsct above the sod , a culvert allowing
the water to pass under the rails. The sod
was nearly eighteen Inches In thickness , and
drain ditches had been dug In various direc
tions , tome of them as much as four f ° et
deep , the bottom of them apparently being
solid earth. Hut after settling gradually for t
some time , the eod on each side suddenly
broke , and nearly the whole right of way for
nearly the whole width of the marsh sank.
It evidently went down ono side first , us
that part of the track still visible Is turned
up , only the ends of the ties sticking out of
the mud. About three rail lengths Is en
tirely out of sight , nnd where formerly was
a smooth surface of firm turf Is now" a bog ,
Into which any heavy object thrown Instantly
disappears. When the company started to repair -
pair the break gas pipe was lowered to find
how dscp the bog was , and In ono place sixty
feet was put down without finding bottom ,
although the mud was stiff er as It went
deeper. The Injury Is being repaired with
n trestle , fifty-foot piling going deep enough
to hold a train. Whether It will last or con
tinue to settle time only will show.
DOGS FOR ALASKA.
Some tlmo ago on Alaska trader vlsltodi the
city looking for dogs , sajs the Portland
Orcgonlan. Ho spent several day.i here , and
left with six lusty canines which he had pur
chased nt very reasonable rates , He said ho
wanted the dogs to take to Alaska and make
common carriers of them , dogs being the
only animals that can stand the grief of n
trip up the Yukon , and bo good for anything
when they get there. .Eskimo dogs arc , of
course , preferable for this purpose , being
Intended by nature for such ut > e , but Es
kimo dogs are scarce and expensive , so or
dinary dogs nro used to toke their places
and answer very well. tAll that la required
It a. long-haired dog , big enough to haul his !
share of a sledge and sufficiently young nnd
Intelligent to be capable of learning the
business. Such dogs command a good price ,
r. fact which many men who are now workIng -
Ing extra hours for money to feed household
pota will bo glad to learn. There has been
moro or less Inquiry for dogs In Portland
and the cities of the Sound every spring.
This jear , however , the de > elopmcnt of the
mines on the Yukon has taken so many
mlnera Into the mining district that the de
mand for pack animals Is greater than ever ,
and'tho dog market Is likely to bo very brisk
before long. St. Bernards and Newfound
lands are next-to Eskimo1 dogs probably best
adapted to two on pledges , being moro in
telligent and better protected from cold than
