The Bassick mine, Custer county, has
been bonded for $500, 900, and it is now
quite probable that this valuable property
which has been idle so long will be made
a producer during the present year. There

ton which has continued SO long, coming
to close and the mine worked again. The
contending factions have bonded the
mine for $500 600 to Mr.. West, who ex-
poets to place it with Scottish syndicate,

ANY Republican who opposes the or
ganization the clubs now being form.
ed throughout the country must either
be very short-sighted or care little about
Republican success. Every one who has
ever had anything to do with politics
knows that there is no surer factor to
success than organization. If the plan
of the National League to form Repub-
lican club in every school district or
even each township in the United
States could be carried out there would
be no more doubt of the overwhelming
success of the Republicans next year
than there is Of the rising of the sun to-
morrow morning. Let the good work
go on. Form clubs, get the Republican
voters interested, awaken enthusiasm
and the way to victory will be sure and

That Great Cataract.

From the latest information, it ap
pears that the three krimbs Falls, in
the Upper Prinzgar, with a total
height Of 1l4S feet, constitute the
highest known waterfall. Next in
height come three scandinavian falls,
of 9S4, $50. and S04 feet respectively
and these are followed by about a
half-dozen falls ranging from 59l feet
down to 400. Taking width into con
sideration, the Victoria Falls of the
Zambezi, 1914 feet high and 5000 feet
wide, are the most imposing, making
the Niagara Falls, l77 feet high and
1868 feet wide, seem quite insi gnih-
cant in size.

AN OMEN OF vICTORI.

The selection Of Senator Jones Of
Nevada to be chairman OF the Re-
publican National Committee, and
the acceptance of the position by him
would be an omen of victory. Sen
ator Jones is a shrewd politician, a
successful miner, one Of the foremost
financiers Of the world, and a many
times millionaire who looks upon
money as just SO much dross, and uses
it accordingly. Since the Englisf
Free Trade Golden Club is bound &c
use millions to endeavor to carry the
city OF New York, some one should
lead the Republican hosts who can at
least partly offset the metallic infu'
encs to be brought to bear by the
foreigners.
