LAKE SUPERIOR GOLp MINES.
What n Local Paper Says About tho Re

What II Local Paper Says About tho Re-
cent Discoveries There.
MARQUETTE, July 24.-Speaking OF the
gold discovery, the Mining Journal says:
This is the fifth remarkably rich discov-
cry which has been made in the Lake
Superior shaft, while there have been
many minor discoveries Of importance.
The quartz vein in which the shaft was
sunk was discovered nearly three years
ago. Nothing was done at the time,
further than to explode one charge Of
dynamite and expose pocket of gold
bearing quartz, for the reason that the
property was owned by the Lake Supe-
rior Iron Company, which would not
sell or lease the ground. Last summer
the Lake Superior Company put n few
miners at work on the property, and n
test shaft was sunk about eighteen feet.
At the bottom OF this shaft n small
pocket OF rich quartz, carrying gold at
the rate OF over $4,000 to the ton, was
found. All work was then suspended,
and nothing was done since until two
months ago when the Lake Superior
Iron Company put II small force OF men
ut work with instructions to square
up" the shaft and increase its size so
that il could be used us Il working shaft
when desired. Some rich rock was
found about month ago. The shaft is
now down about twenty-five feet. The
Michigan gold mine, which adjoins the
Lake Superior property on the east, has
taken ont rock which is nearly as rich
as the rock from the Lake Superior.

lOW'S THIS MILLS?

What the Democrats OF Texas Say About
That Bill.
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, July 24.-The
passage Of the Mills bill has not made it
any more popular with Southwestern
Texas Democrats. They are just as
unanimously down on it as they were
when the Committee on Ways and
Means reported it to the house. None
OF them believes it stands a ghost OF a
show to pass the Senate. At the same
time they object to 1t most strenuously
because they regard it as an attempt to
sacrifice them on the altar OF the East
ern manufacturers. They look upon it
as an emphasis or declaration OF the
Democratic policy for the campaign, and
refuse TO accept it.
This is not altogether owing 10 the
free wool clause, though that is princi-
pallv obnoxious. It's attack upon the
cattle industry is resented. Ranchmen
in Mexico obtain their land and labor
for comparatively nothing, and are able
TO place beef upon the Texas or North
ern markets at prices that will defy com
petition by any man who lives under the
stars and stripes.
Mr.. W. G. Robinson, Of Bandera coun'
tv, one OF the best posted and most in
telligent ranchmen OF this section, ex
pressed the views OF his class as follows
"In 1888, when the tariff reduction OF
