hence twenty times that amount
will be paid out in that camp each

The upward tendency of the sill
yer market is hailed with delight
by those who have ore for sale or
mines that can only be worked
when the price of bullion is higher
than the figures ruling for some
time past. The closing down of
several of the leading mines and
the threat that others would have
to follow the example, is the reason
generally given for the advance.
The warlike attitude of Russia on
the Bulgarian question, with a
probability of there being a general
war in Europe is also given as
reason for the advance. 1t will be
devoutly hoped that silver will
keep climbing until it is well up in
three figures.

vention met at HALEY on Wednes-
day last, and was called to order
by Secretary Krebs, of the Terrific
rial Central Committee. O. A.
Dodge, of Kootenai county, was
elected as permanent chairman,
and P. S. Hughes, secretary. A
Territorial Committee was ap-
pointed, composed of the following
gentlemen:

sented the name of Fred. I. Dubois.
The nomination was seconded by
II. w. Smith, of Bingham, Geo. A.

gentleman moved that the nominal
ton of the Dubois be made by
reclamation. This motion was
seconded by James Shoup and car
ried amid considerable enthusiasm.
The convention then adjourned.
THE DEMOCRACY.
The Democratic Convention as
sembled at Bellevue on Thursday
and have not as yet made any NOM
ination for delegate. Among the
members Of the convention were
several Mormons, and a decided
stand was taken by many to Dust
them. There was a prevailing feel
ing that the best interest Of the
party demanded that strong anti
Mormon plank should be inserted
in the platform, and it finally tri-
umphed, after which the same
element scored another victory in
not allowing the Mormon delegates
to seats in the convention. Great
excitement prevailed during the
discussion, and it was late in the
evening before the anti-Mormon fac
ton succeeded. At half-past seven
last night the convention adjourned
until ten o'clock this morning when
the Committee on Platform and
Resolutions was to report and a
for delegate made. 1t
is apparent that John HALEY will
be the nominee.

BAYHORSE DISTRICT.

| DaA AipASE DlS hlNi
The Homestake mine in Bayhorse
district, owned by Harvey Lester,
Ben Miller, Alex Scrover and VIM.
Stetham, is now being worked at q
depth of 125 feet. The ore vein
looks very promising, is about 20
inches in width and averages so
ounces in silver. The vein carries
galena, grey copper, chlorides and
bromides. The ore is disposed of
at the Clayton Smelter.
The Bayhorse Smelter is now
running with prospects of being
kept busy for some time to come.
A two-thirds interest in the Sill
yer Wing mine--one-third Of which
was owned by AL. Barselou and the
other one-third owned by Geo. L.
Shoup, A. ]. McNab and VIM. T.
Stethem-has been sold to Geo. H.
Clark and Owen Long, the owners
of the remaining one-third, and A.
J. Crook, of the Omaha Co., for the
sum of $1,000.
The Silver Wing is one of the
best little mines in Bayhorse min
ing district and is situated on Rams
horn Mountain. It is one of the
oldest and easterly location of the
Silver Wing, Sky Lark, Shamrock
and Monitor vein, and is adjoining,
north and above the famous Rams
horn mine. This mine has been
worked almost continuously for
the past four years by small force
of men, and during that time has
produced between $4,000 and
500, OOO-paying at various times
handsome dividends to the own
ers.-Challis Messenger.

Superintendent Woolcock has
taken a lease of this property, or

and has started to run tunnel to
tap the ore body found in the old
workings The tunnel has been
started 700 feet down the hill and
will be run distance of about
seventy feet. 1t is now in nearly |
half this distance, and will intersect
the ledge in about twenty more feet.
Four men are at work on the tunnel. |
THE oPHIR.
The last lot of ore brought to
the sampler gave an average value
of l2O ounces silver per ton and 60
per cent. lead. Work on the new
tunnel has been commenced, and
stopping in the old works is vigor-
ously carried on. A force of car
penters are now at work erecting
winter quarters at the mouth of the

The labors of the Republica,
County Convention are ended ant
a ticket has been nominated anc
presented to the people of Altura,
county for their suffrage. Tn,
convention did not appear as en-
thusiastic as it might have been
but, taken all together, while a lit
tie bitter feeling was at times dis
played, harmony prevailed through
out the meeting. The convention
did not assemble until late in tho
afternoon, and it was not until 8
o'clock at night that it got fairly
under way. The contest for office
when there were opposing candi-
dates created ripple of excite
ment at times, but nothing like a
spirited fight was shown until the
Chairman announced that nomina-
tons for County Attorney were in
order. This was a HALEY fight en-
tirely. All four of the candidates
Bruner, Waters, Roberts and Price
were residents of Haley, and not
until the tenth ballot terminated
was a choice made. At first Lyttle-
ton Price showed the most strength
and it was thought that as the
friends of other aspirants found it
impossible to nominate their favor
lite he would gain in strength. But
out of the forty votes necessary to
secure the nomination thirty-two
was the highest number he attained
As the balloting proceeded some of
his supporters changed to other
candidates, the votes shifting about
until stand appeared to be made
for General Roberts, who started as
the weakest man on the list. He
gained rapidly, Waters and Bruner
gradually dropping, while many of
the friends Of Price, still hopeful for
success, made a strong effort to
rally those who had deserted him.
1t was of no avail, and at 2:15
o'clock Roberts, on the tenth bal
lot, received AZ. and Price % of
the votes cast. The remaining
were more as a matter
of form; those not being placed
upon the ticket by acclamation be-
ing nominated upon a first ballot.
The only exception was the vote
for superintendent of Schools,
which called for two ballots, and
there being no majority at the close
of the second for any candidate,
the convention declared Rev. /. 7.
Osborne, who had received the
highest number of votes, its nomi-
nee. The full ticket nominated
was as follows: Councilmen, Jas.

ROCK ISLAND. SATURDAY. MAY l. 1886.

4he men at the Union Stock yards have
made demand for eight hours, and the
Chicago Packing & Provision company
has compromised on nine hours, much tothe
digust of the other packers.
SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION.
CHICAGO, May 1.-The Times. today,
summarizing the labor situation, SAYS:
Twenty five thousand is fair estimate
of the number of men who Quit work yes
terday and walked out ofs the various
shops and factories in Chicago. because
their employers would not consent to
eight hours as working day with ten
hours pay. How many will do the same
today is problematical. but the prospects
for repetition of yesterdays perform.
ances is exceedingly brilliant. The trades
most affected are the furniture manufac.
turers, and the iron men with the fnrni-
ture people. 1t was practically gen
eral lockout all over the city, and all Of
the seventyfve hundred men employed
IN the various Chicago factories, are to-
day idle, and will probably continue so
| for some time to come.
The refusal of the manufacturers to
grant the demands was the result of a
meeting held last week, when manufac-
turers' association was formed and an eX-
ecutive committee appointed to take
charge of the business of the various
members. 1t was then decided if the
men demanded eight hours, Friday. every
factory should shut down until this com
mittce should decide to open them, and
upon the terms that that body should die
tate TO the men This agreement was
carried ont to the letter, and today every
furniture factory in Chicago is practically
in the hands of the executive committee.
A somewhat similar situation exists in
the lumber trade, including the planning
mills and box factories. No concerted
action was had by the employers until
Friday, but all except three refused the
demand of the men, and in meeting
afterwards decided to stand by one ans
other and not take their men back
except at the bosses terms. The
number OF men in this trade out of ems
ployment in consequence, can only be
approximated, but eight thousand is a
low figure. With the iron people the
idea of running eight hours could not be
entertained for a moment by the larger
concerns with expensive plants, and in
consequence all who were waited on re-
fused the mems demands and with the
exception of the rolling mills, where no
trouble is anticipated majority of the
large iron works of Chicago are closed.
The railroads have with one exception
escaped trouble, but their time will come
today and it is feared its extent cannot be
foretold.
The packers will probably escape with
out serious trouble. The employers are
somewhat disposed to yield in part,
while the men are not anxious to strike.
1t depends good deal on what Armour
will do. Every business in the city is
more or less implicated and the general
unrest among workingmen is exactly
balanced by the anxiety among the EN-,
pioyers,
