| TOPEKA (Kan.), March "a new AL
lance movement contemplates the forma-
ton OF hugh grain and live stock trust,
including Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri
and Iowa. Frank McGrath, President OF
the Farmers Alliance, says the project is
one of the results OF the failure of the
Alliance Legislatures to pass certain
bills. Legislation, he says, is too slow
for the achievement of the Alliance OBJ
jects.
McGrath says District Alliances are being
| formed in every Congressional District,
and provisions are being made for the
building of cold storage and grain depots.
| The District Alliances viii be made uu
of sub Alliances. In this way constant
communication from individual members
of the Alliance Will be had.
IN o individual member will sell his
grain to option men or bankers" said
Mr.. McGrath, but when he is obliged to
| sell, his grain Will be taken by the Alli-
| ance. The same thing will follow with
cattle. We will have agents in Kansas
/ City, Chicago and st. Louis, who will
keep the District Alliances posted as to
the market and demand. Upon this in
formation the demand will be supplied,
and no more, at a liked price determined
by the Alliance. No option on wheat
will be on the market, and there will be
no Specuiatlng on grain before the har-
vest. The four States in this trust will
practically control the wheat and cattle
markets of the United States
THE hardest thing we have to deal with
is the fixing of the price. We mean to
ascertain the exact cost of the product,
and add a considerable profit to it, The
new scheme is modelled in detail after the
whisky trust. OF course you will say
our principles will not admit of it, but we
have decided that we must fight the devil

ELK CITY MINES.

An Old Camp Again Coming to the Front
and Attracting Prospectors.
Spokane Review
l.. ii. Pstchen and a. w. Rogers, OF
this city, have returned from trip to
the Elk City mines. in Idaho, where
they spent two months. Mr.. Patchen
went to Elk City to look after eighty
acres of placer ground which he recent
ly acquired with Col. w. M. Ridpatch,
r. Hodgkiss and c. G. Reeder, all
of this city.
Elk City was a hourishng placer camp
in 1868. but the miners, after working
out the Hill diggings as high up as they
could get water, departed for other
camps. Now Elk City is again attract
ing prospectors, several good gold lodges
are going in constantly. and old dig
gings are being worked over with salts
factory results. There is gold in all the
hills, and one can get color any
where. The trouble is to get " alter on
the higher ground, which is as rich as
the lower ground, already worked out.
Mr.. Patchen says if there was wagon
road in there Elk City would soon be-
come one of the best camps in Idaho.
At present supplies have to be packed
sixty miles by trail.
The placer ground owned by Mr.
Patchen and his associates is the lower
end ofa meadow several miles in length.
This meadow is formed of sediment
from the surrounding hills, and few
feet beneath the tall grass gold is found
in paying quantities. Mr. Patchen and
associates have an abundance of water
with plenty of fall, and they will erect
saw mill, build big bedrock nume,
and begin hydraulic mining on the
meadow bottom on large scale early
in the spring. Elk City is about 1870
miles southeast of Lewiston.
