The article which we rep oduced from the
Somerset Reporter yesterday undoubtedly
pretty correctly outlines the programme of
the Democracy 10 this State. They have no
hope of electing their candidate for COVER
nor, and expect defeat in most of the coun-
ties and congressional districts of the State.
In few counties and in one or two distfic s
however, they think they have a fOhting
chance, and in these they will concentrate
their energies. The first district is undoubt-
edIy one of these, and all the tricks and
trades at which the Democracy are adopts
will be employed to carry it. The Repub-
llceaps are not ignorant Of this purpose uor
alarmed by 1t. They have fought many a
hard fight here and they are preparing for
another triumph.

The Prohlbitionists did not confine them
selves to the rum question, but had some
thing to say about the currency, which they
declare should be issued entirely by the gov
eminent. This is equivalent to declara-

al banks, and is not likely to commend it
self TO intelligent Prohibitionisls.

The address of the Law and Order League
to the Mavor is perfectly proper and rea-
sonable document and it does not set forth
too strongly the duty of the city authorities
to enforce the laws. They are not enforced
now. The fact is notorious and it is pub
lie scandal. 1t is plain that the police do
not do their duty; but the Mayor can hardly
be blamed in view of The attitude which a
large part of the professed prohibisionists
assumed toward his initial movement for a
renovation of the force. But the greatest
difficulty in the way of the enforcement of
the law in this city is the indifference, or
open opposition, of class who will vote to
put on the statute book or in the constitu-
ton any thing which the most jealous
prohiHitionist will draft, and then cut the
throat, politically speaking, of any officer
who enforces the law in manner to offend
the rumsellers at time when their votes
are wanted. It is only proportion of the
citizens in favor of prohibitory legislation
who can be depended upon to support the
authorities in enforcing the law. And
that's what's the matter.

THE TEXAS DISTRICT.
Mine Development In Promising Idaho
Camp

Among the promising mining camps Of
Eastern Idaho the Texas district, by means
Of recent evelopment. is looming up and
attracting the attention Of mining men.
The mines Of this district have been devel-
oped to considerable extent during the
past summer and the labor expended has
been productive of substantial results.
Among the many excellent mining prop.
critics Of the district the following are the
best opened and developed:
The Latest Out mine, owned by Simp.
son s. Johnson, is opened by main shaft
which has been sunk to the depth Of 100
feet. In the shaft level has been run on
fine vein Of ore for 40 feet. At the bot.
tom Of the winze another level has been
run for distance Of fifty.seven feet on a
still larger vein Of good ore, about thirteen
feet in width. This ore runs from 80 to 70
ounces IN silver to the ton and carries 90 to
70 per cent in lead. 1t is vein in contact,
the wall rocks being lime and porphyry.
The Red Wing mine, owned by Davis
& Price has shaft down 20 feet The ore
vein is six feet wide. Assays of ore run
as high in silver as IS ounces to the ton,
and 20 per cent. in lead.
The Cora Cady mine is the property Of
Goetch g. Co. 1t has been successfully
worked during the past summer. The
showing in the mine is large body Of
carbonate ore.
E. Johnson & Go. own the Mcclellan
mine. The mine has been partially devel.
oped during the past season. Ore Of high
grade has been found in the mine and it
promises to become first.class property.
Sperry s. Co. own the Jumbo mine. A
shaft has been dropped on the vein so feet
deep. Ore assays show 100 ounces in sill.
yer to the ton, with 10 to 50 per cent. in
lead.
The Senator, Ainslie and many more
mines and prospects in the Texas district
look well as far as opened. The ore taken
from these mines assays we'll, some of i,
going up in the hundreds Of ounces. The
future Of the district is excellent and it has
a good showing to brcome one Of the mos1
productive districts in Eastern Idaho.
