Railroad and Mines.

That the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany will construct o road from some
point on the line of the Utah Northern
to the Yellowstone National Park dur
ing the present season there can hardly
be question. A line has already been
surveyed from point q few miles south
OF Beaver Canyon. -Wiltz Gaumer and
Bill Burns have located rich bar up
the river and propose to speedily go to
work on their claim The st. Paul Min
ing Co. are getting their ground ready
preparatory to going to work. 1t is ex-
pected this company will, in the future,
employ good many men, though, I'M
like most mining companies, they want
the mines to pay ALI expenses and i'm
provmeAts, and are going slow. They
have their machines in readiness to put
down MS soon rs the weather will per-
nit. Messrs. Edwards and Quayle, who
made such success Mt mining here last
year, have been working vigorously dur
ing the past week getting their machines
into position for their snmper work.
They think it will be hard luck II they
don't clean up $4,000 this year. Idaho

Gold and Silver.

ne constitution OF our country MAKES
gold and silver coin only lawful tender
for the payment of all debts. 1t may be
asked, what makes the valHe Of gold
dollar OF rs $40 grains, and also what
makes the value of silver dollar of 412a
grains? 1t is simply law. 1t is not the
intrinsic value OF either, but simply n
legal enactment.
The people OF this country seem to be
welded to o paper currency. There are
three kinds, viz: Greenbacks, national
bank notes, and silver certificates. The
two former are founded on credit, mud
have no intrinsic value behind them ex-
cept faith. The latter, silver certificates,
are representative, and have dollar for
dollar in silver as the basis of value.
This renders them the soundest paper
currency in the country.
The catch word which is trumpeted
throughout the country and used to
prejudice silver dollars, is unworthy OF
even the first rudiments of financial
knowledge, "Give us silver dollar
worth gold dollar"
When silver was receivable and coined,
as gold now is, at the various minis OF
the world, it was ct a premium. From
1885 to 1874 the premium was from about
TO per cent. above gold. Why did
not these astute financiers cry ont, GIVE
rs gold dollar worth silver dollar?
Both silver and gold were equally
treated by the minis of the world ex-
cepting the English, and the difficulty
was to obtain sufficient silver for coin
age. Restore this same quality at the
same minis, and silver would, as before,
be of n premium above gold. Why? Be-
cause silver is necessity, while gold is
only convenience. Silveris the money
for the masses; gold is currency for
bankers.
Stop 100 men as they pass by your
door, and ask them to show their pock-
eft books. and silver in n greater or less
quantity would be found i'll all, while it
is doubtful whether one would have
gold Silver com is used in every coun-
try of the world, and by all classes,
whether rich or poor. The countries
using gold comprise about one third OF
the worlds inhabitants, and in the rich
est countries, say France and England,
probably silver performs larger func-
tons i'll buying and selling than their
gold and bank notes combined. To
subtract the subsidiary coin flom Eng
land would produce a greater personal
Inconvenience than the loss of its gold.
The world could do without gold, but
silver is indispensable B. Colgate.

RESURRECTION DISTRICT.
Splendid Developments In This New
Gold Field.

The Resurrection District, to which
the KEYSTONE has made frequent allu-
rion, appears to be still growing rich.
We find the following in the Bellevue
Chronicles.
Ed. Smiley, Of Resurrection District,
~ miles below Bellevue, was up yester-
day with some fine specimens OF gold
ore from = new trike in the Smoke
stack and Orient This ore ranges in
value from $40 to $500 per ton, and is a
little ahead OF any yet discovered there.
The Smokestack joins HALEY i Smiths
Susie s. OH the west and the ledge is as
wide us that OF the Susie. Mr. Smiley
has been at work there all winter and is
mneh elated over the success Of his la
Dor.
Hon. John HALEY contempiates erect
ing 0-stamp gold mill there the COM
ing summer and will soon have force
taking ore from the Susie s. Col. Can
AVIAN and Gen. schenck, OF Bellevue, also
own some gold mining property in the
district and propose to begin work soon.
Col. Canavan took samples OF the new
strike, in which free gold was plainly
visible, to Boise City with him and will
interview Hon. John HALEY concerning
the mill project for the new district"
