New G"Ia Discoveries
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 2O.-Tele-
graphic information received here
from Fort Custer, Montana, dated
August 18th, brings news of o gold
discovery in Snow Range, or Sho-
shone Mountains, the distance to
the discovery being 250 miles from
Fort Custer. William H. Hollins,
formerly of Omaha but latterly of
Deadwood, sends this news from
Fort Custer, at which post he has
just arrived from the discovery,
which he locates In the north fork
of Shrinking Water river, latitude
400 30>, longitude 11Oo 3O. The
diggins are wonderfully rich, there
having been only three men
at work in the gulch and they have
taken out over 300 pounds
of gold in less than four months,
using hollow log for a sluice box.
1t is known as the Whitmore DIS
covery. The best route Is via the
Union Pacific, thence to Camps
Stambaugh or Brown. This news
has been looked for for some time
as these men were known to have
gone thither quietly last Spring
and minen have been on the look
out for nCl3s ever since.
Batter Addresses the eSvOrkiuxmen.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-General
Butler addressed a meeting of sew
eral hundred workingmen this af-
ternoon. He said there had nev-
er been fair decision in this coun-
try or within the last generation
between capital and enterprise, nor
between enterprise and labor, for
the reason that most of the money
invested in enterprise was borrow
ed capital and must pay
large interest, and then, when
that interest was to be got again, it
must be got of labor. The whole
legislation of this country for the
past sixteen years has been in favor
of money and men of money. Let
all property be taxed just once and
no more; then the taxes would grow
less. He suggested as remedy
for the over-production caused
by the extensive use of ma
chinery the cutting down of
hours of labor to one hour a
day il necessary. Shun any man
who speaks of the destruction of
property, for the destruction of
property is the destruction of so
much labor. Don't send any man
to Congress who shall vote that
man with capital, doing nothing for
the good of his kind, shall have a
better opportunity in society than
the man who works eight or ten
hours q day. Elect men only who
would work for the Workingman.
