FOR CONGRESS-.

The time is fast approaching wien
it will be in ord .r to put in nomination
candidates for congress. It is of special
Importance this year that the republi.
cans of the different congressional dis
tricts of Michigan take heed whom
they nominate. There are two things
to be particularly inquired into in re-
gard 10 candidates First. whether or
not they will run well. Second, as to
whether they are entirely sound on
the great issue of the day, the tariff
question. The republican party will
not and cannot take doubtful stand
upon this issue, The present cam
paign and the succeeding adniinistra-
ton will see n hard fight between the
tree traders and the supporters of n
protective tariff Michigan and her
interests need in congress men who
will not only vote right, hut whose
influence will be pow erfully felt
Especially does the Tenth district
OF Michigan want n man in congress
who will truely and ably represent the
great lumber interests of the district
losco county will present to the repub
lican congressional convention of this
district the name of a man who she be-
lieve can do the it as well rs any man
in the district. This man is Henry NJ.
Loud, of Oscoda, and Saturday hight

af the Tenth district
Mr. Loud has good qualifications for
n congressman, and there arr many
reasons in favor of this nomination.
He is entirely sound on the tariff, IL
nancial and other leading questions.
He has the confidence of business
men of all parts of the districts, and
as large an acquaintance through the
different counties as any man in the
district. lie has state reputation
and is acquainted with the leading
men not only of this state but of the

snake River Plaeers.
Ketchun Keystone.

There is at present some excite
ment on Snake River over the success
Of saving machine, introduced by
Eastern capitalists, by which the -four
gold of that extensive region can be
saved and procured in very profita-
BILE quantities. 1t has for many years
been well known fact in this Terri
tory that the vast gravel bed lying
south of the Shoshone Falls for over
| fifty miles contains large quantities OF
exceedingly light fake gold. In fact
this gold is SO light that no ordinary
process, as repeated trial has shown,
will catch enough Of it to pay the ex-
pense of operations. The bars are
very extensive and generally lie at
different elevations or on from one to
three table lands bordering the river.
The ground has been believed by
many to be the richest in the country;
but the only test OF this has been by
very careful prospecting. Sometime
ago attention Of eastern men was at
tracted thither and through their in
Y terest machine was introduced late
e in the fall that made comparative
: success, but did not excite genera
approval until the addition Of certain
L improvements completed its success

"These are times when the pulse
