Canter's Springs.

Josh Bruce, who drives ss if be bad
fallen heir to all the skill of Bud Doble
and the nerve and daring of Hank
| Monk, came around TO the NUGGET Of
flee on Friday evening, with a fine rig,
and offered to take the tired senior cut
promptly accepted, aud the twain start
el for Canter's hot springs in Jordan
! Valley. We want to talk about it just
to let lot of people about town know
what they are missing. The road down
to the springs is good one nearly all
the way, and it is very easy three
honrs drive, with some splendid noun
tain views in sight. At the springs Mr..
Canter has enlarged his house, having
added several pleasant rooms, and his
wife and daughters do everything to
make it pleasant and homelike for
guests. At the springs, which are con-
veniently near the house, they have fit
ted up two pleasant bath rooms where
their guests can have the benefit
of most delightful baths. The water is
quite strong with sulphur, and, when
pumped from the spring, is too hot for
bathing and cold water has also to be
drawn into the tubs. These springs
onght to be more tquently visited by
DeLamar people, because this is reaL
ly fine and enjoyable resort.
On returning We stopped at Jordan
Valley, which place we found to be
just at presnt rather dali, because the
ranchers Whereabouts are ali busy finish
ing their haying. The only very busy
man in that pleasant little village is C.
NJ. Smart, the blacksmith. The many
mowers and hay rakes thereabouts
getting out of repair keep bis anvil
ringing.
Messrs. Little & Atbern carry fine
stock of goods and keep very neat
store.

w. E. Borah, Esq, the Boise attorney
who came over to defend Myers on his
examination, came down to see this big
mining camp, in company with District
Attorney Hays, and happened TO visit
the Stoddard mine Just when they had
struck rich ore in the new incline. Mr..
Borah said that he happy look on the
faces of Messrs. Rsgan and Hays made
him wish that he was miner Bat
what struck him most fsvorably of any
experience in Owyhee was the cool
nights. They made him think how sn-
peror the climate was to any he had
ever known, for enjoying sleep.

their horseback rides alone? Two

MN Drake, late of CIark's Fork and

the latter mining district, believing it
TO be the best in the United States.
Some ten or twelve properties are pay
in dividends, in only one of which q
depth below water level has been at

of the NUGGET, sends his compliments
to his friend B. E. Galispie at Clark's

time resident of this county and is
well known by many here.

Miners have some odd fancies on
names. They have fixed the name of
Blazing Rag" on the lively little viii
lage growing up around the boarding
and lodging houses at the DeLamar
mine. The worst feature of it is that
such names stick after the people are
tired of them. For instance, the quiet
and delightful little town, full of busi-
ness and industry, where the people fol-
low their pursuits as peacably and quiz
e;ly as in quaker village, has had the
name Of +Toughtown" foisted upon it,
and this is really working an injury to
the residents there. The people who
want to start Sunday school down
there are handicapped.

We are sorry that no move has been
started to open up any of the mines al
south Mountain this GUNNER. 1t is true
that working those mines is a smelling
proposition, but as they are known to b.
rich in le d, copper and silver, work
there would do more toward building a
railroad into this county ttan all the
other mining districts combined. Now,
since Flint is revived, why don't the
owners of the valuable South Mountain
properties do something more than
merely work assessments

Dave Farmer took the contract to find
the ledge on the famous Twin Brothers
claim, on Cow creek, for a specified
sum. He run crosscut from the bot
tom of the forty-foot shaft one hundred
feet without finding the ledge aud then
started on the surface at another point
and found it in place, and well defined,
after sinking only few feet. The ledge
is proven TO be ten feet in width and
streaks of it as rich as the rich float
which was found when discovered. This
was the on thing needed to prove Cow
several claims located on this lead the
owners are now fully confident will de-
velop rich.

MINING NUGGETS.

The new incline shaft on the Stoddard
mine is now down twenty-five feet on the
hanging wall of the lode. The NUGGET
expert has been up to examiLe it and
has convinced himself that the superin-
tendent, Mr.. Ludwig, is on the eve of
developing that into great property.
They are in clay streak which shows
very rich in silver and are sacking ore,
selected, which we think will go over
one hundred and fifty dollars per ion.
The width of the lode is about FIVE feet
and is all good milling ore. We have
pinned our faith for the oast three years
on this property ultimately proving a
big bonanza, and it would have been big
money made and saved by the owners
to have paid the NUGGET expert huge
salary or directing the work of deve op-
ment. There are no flies on US.

Captain ]. w. PIummer has kindly
handed the NUGGET copy of the mana

for the month of June. This report
which is quite lengthy, gives full details
of development work done at the mines,
the condition of all the veins from
which ore is being extracted and par
ticulars of all improvements made. 1t
shows very satisfactory condition of
the mines. We copy from the report
the following statement of the work
done by the mill during the month, to-

Last Chance, at Flint, has also shown up
very rich ledge. with a shoot on it

THEY WE'RE MISTAKEN.

After the Republicans began to pick
themselves up and inquire what hit
them last November, they concluded
that the people had been deceived by
democratic lies about the tariff" All
they wanted was another chance, when
they would overwhelm the deceivers
with the truth and bring them to confu-
sion and disaster. The opportunity has
come. The Democrats everywhere are
standing squarely by the tariff po-
sltion they held last year. The
tariff has been on trial a full
year. If the Democrats have mis-
represented its mission and maligned
its character, the chance to turn the
tables on them should be eagerly seized.
But somehow the Republicans in the
states where active campaigns are in
progress do not appear to be making
much use of the chances presented them.
They are not anxious to keep the tariff
TO the front. Even its architect in Ohio
and JOHN SHERMAN find topics of more
interest to them. One joint debate
with CAMPBELL appears to be all that
MCKINLEY really cares for. In Mas
sachusetts the Democrats have invited
the Republican candidate for governor
to meet Gov. RUSSELL on the stump,
and the invitation is declined. In Iowa,
too, Gov. BoIEs is willing to meet his
Republican opponent, but no oppor-
tunity is allowed. 1t really looks as if
the Republicans were mistaken when
they thought they were hankering after
opportunities to meet the Democrats on
this issue. Perhaps they suspect that
th& have the heavy end to carry.

SILVER AND GOLD.

The advocates of the free coinage of
silver, who are to be found in large
numbers in both parties, claim that if
the minis were open to the coinage of
silver as they are to the coinage of
gold our money would not fluctnate in
value either one way or the other, but
would remain steady. They say that
there is not enough gold at hand to
meet the needs of trade, and that for
that reason gold increases in value, but
that if gold and silver were used side by
side the volume would be adequate, and
hence the purchasing power of money
free from alterations of rise and
fall. This may seem reasonable, and if
their contention is correct, the plan
would be worthy of adoption. But the
gold advocates reply that with the free
coinage of silver instead of having a
currency such as we have at present,
whatever its faults, we should have one
constantly diminishing in value, and
this, as has already been shown, would
be just as bad as any other. The gold
advocates declare that the two coins
could not circulate side by side any
more than we could have two yard
sticks of unequal length or two pounds
of unequal weight and that if silver is
introduced into our currency the effect
of 1t will be to drive all our gold
out of circulation and transform US into
people who use silver and who use sill
yer exclusively. This, they contend,
would derange all our industries and
alter our standards completely. 1t would
leave us with a money fluctuatiug in
value and f1uctuating in the direction
always of cheapness, which would make
capital timid of ventures. and produce
stagnation and confusion. 1t is need
less to remark that the silver advocates
do not admit this, and they point to the
history of the world at all times in
which the two metals have been used
together. To sum up, if one is of the
opinion that our money has not in
creased and is not increasing in its i'll
trinsic value, there is no reason why he
should favor change. If he thinks
that it is so increasing, and that the
free coinage of silver would steady it,
he should favor this measure. If he
thinks that it is so increasing, and that
the free coinage of silver would inaugu-
rate a currency fuctuating in the other
direction. his self-interest would carry
him with the gold advocates if he is, or
hopes to be, capitalist, or with the
silver advocates if he belongs and ex-
poets to belong TO the debtor class.

CAMPBELL ALL RIGHT.
Ohio's Governor Enthusiastically
Received Everywhere.


STEUBENvILLE, o., Oct. l. Gov.
Campbell and party arrived here at 2:3O
o'clock from Plttsburg. He was com
PEELED to go from Youngstown to Pitts
burg in order to reach here in time
for to-day's meeting. In Pittsburg he
stopped at the Monongahela house,
where hesWaS called upon by number
of the leading Democrats of that city.
When the train arrived at Steubenville
there were fully 5000 people on hand.
The governor was given most hearty
reception, after which he was driven to
the opera house, where a magnificent
audience was awaiting him.
Gov. Campbell was in fine condition
and most happy mood. When he
stepped to the front of the platform he
held in his hand handsome, large
peach which had been presented to him
by a Pittsburg admlrer. The governor
and said: Here is one of the
fruits of protection in the state
of Pennsylvania. When [ was boy,

THE IDEAL MONEY.

These being some of the uses of money,
the qualities of an ideal money suggest
themselves at once. 1t should be made
Of something convenient for use. If a
metal is employed it must not be SO
cheap and common that big bulk
would be required in the ordinary trans
actions. On the other hand, it must not
be so valuable and uncommon that the
pieces used under such circumstances
would be likely to be mislaid or lost be-
cause they were very small. But above
all things, money must be made of
something which is steady in value.
This is the most important point. To
resume the illustration already given, 1t
would not be safe for the hat
ter to part with his hats for
money if the money which he
took for them was liable to diminish in
its purchasing power on the following
day. Suppose that this morning one
dollar will buy hat or a pair of shoes.
The halter who needed pair of shoes
might then sell his hat, and with the
money at once get his shoes. But mag
inc that he sells his hat to-day and puts
away his dollar till tomorrow Now,
if the dollar is made of something which
fiuctuates in value, when he goes with
it to the cobbler he may find that one
dollar will not be enough with which to
buy pair of shoes, but that dollar
and half or two dollars are necessary.
He has lost by the operation, and it
would have been better for him to have
&c hot Of =
Everybody who has money in his pos
session instead of goods suffers in the
same way if the thing of which money is
made declines in value. If, on the other
hand 1.-The thing of which money is made
increases in value, everybody who hap
pens to nave money at the time profits
by it at the expense of those who have
other commodities or only capacity to
labor.
Money, when it is made out of metal
or is based on metal, is a commodity
as much as things to eat OF to wear are,
and is subject to the same economic
laws. If there is demand for it be-
yond the available supply it increases
in intrinsic value. If, Oh the other hand,
the available supply exceeds the de-
mand, it declines in intrinsic value.
Suppose, for example, that diamonds
were used as money. The halter in
such event selling a hat would take so
many diamonds in exchange for it. If
diamonds continued as plentiful in the
market right along, year from now. if
he had gone out of the hat business and
wanted TO buy hat, taking the same
diamonds he could buy the hat. on con-
dition, of course, that hats had not in
the meanwhile altered in their own
value. But if in the meanwhile new
diamond fields had been discovered and
the market was flooded with them, he
could not do so. If, on the other hand,
there had come craze for diamonds in
the interim so that their price was more
than it had been, he might be able
to get two hats now with the dia-
monds he had received for one. In
neither case would diamonds constitute
an honest currency.
The money OF the civilized world used
to be gold and silver; now, in our own
country and many others. it is gold.
! The advocates of the RECOMMENDATION OF
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1891-10-02

silver claim that the effect of this one
standard has been to make money scarce
and to constantly appreciate in value.
They say that the man who has had
money during the change has become
rich because of it; that the purchasing
power of his commodity has grown
greater, and that people who have had
other commodities Or their labor to sell
have been impoverished for his aggran-
dizement. They say that gold is day by
day acquiring greater intrinsic value
because its supply is stationary and the
demand for it tremendously stimulated.
If this is-so, it bears particularly hard
on the debtor class. The mortgagor
who promises to pay hundred dollars
year from now will have to work
much longer to get it if dollar is going
to cost more at that time because of
rise in the value of the metal of which
it is made. If this is really the result
of gold standard, every fair minded
man will admit that it is bad thing.
