Standard and Banner Stock.

Twenty-three Thousand dollars in cash
was paid out last Thursday in this city by
John A. Finch and A. b. Campbell, saws the
Occur d'Alene Miner. This amount was
due on the pond given just a few months
ago on the Standard and Banner mining
claims, and two-thirds of the Sullivan frac-
ton. Two thousand dollars was paid down
when the bond WAS given.
The following named parties were owners
in the properties and received amounts pro-
portionate with their interests: In the
Standard and Banner-Thomas Argyle,
one-eighth: Charles Flynn, one-eighta;
James Cronin, one-eighth; Tim McCarty,
ons-eighth: Patrick Doyle, James WEIGH
and John Kearney, one-fourth; John D.
Sullivan, fourth. In the two-thirds in
terest in the Sullivan fraction, bonded for
$1,000, McCarty. Kearney, WEIGH and Doyle
received the money.
The sum of money paid is small when the
present condition OF the property is consid-
cred, but at the time the bond was gwen,
with $1,000 down. it looked different. The
whole work has been accomplished within
three or four months-the property bonded,
the ledge found and a body of ore exposed,
and the money paid overland there was
not a hitch in the transaction from Begin
ming to end. Work is progressing on tho
Standard, under supervision of John d.
Sullivan, and the showing is favorable IN
deed. There are three other properties in
which Msssrs. Campbell and Finch are in
terested, and they deserve mention at any
time, for they ran with the best in the
country. The Union, just above Burke,
shows a magnificent body of ore. and it is
in share to amply supply the mill now be-
ing built. The double tramway from the
mine to the railroad is almost complete.
Half the machinery is now on the ground
and it is proposed to have the mill reduc-
ing ore by October Is.
The Gem has been a steady producer and
II in excellent condition to-day. Its monthly
output has been 600 tons of concentrates per
month. This month it will turn out 700
tons.

better known, will be developed by the Gem

st. Regis Mining Notes.

Work has been temporarily suspended on
the Black Traveller and will not be- re-
sumed until MI. Costello arrives at Saltese
to look over the ground. The men under
DIR. Jennings had been working in the old
shaft started by the former owners of the
claim, but bad air and rapidly rising water
caused the shut down. A tunnel will now,
it is thought, be run to tap the ledge and
make drainage for the shaft.
just west of the Black Traveller and sup
posedly on the same ledge with it, is the
Hope, owned by Messrs. Lawson and Fair,
OF Wardner. The owners are doing assess-
ment work on the Hope at the present time.
No ore has yet been found nor has the ledge
been encountered, but Messrs. Lawson u
Fair are 30 confident of striking the Tray
eler lead in the near future that they will
do quite an amount of work pom it before
winter sets in.
Dnxon Brothers have let a new tunnel
contract on the Tarbox claim, and work will
be pushed vigorously.

d. L. 8. Barker, foreman of the Benton

in a car of eighteen tons of ore from the
mine, says the Great Falls Tribune. This
orc will be taken to Helena, sampled at the
United States Sampling works and then
sold to the highest bidder. 1t il expected
to run several hundred dollars to the ton.

Na,1onalism in New Hampshire.

Within a year the city of Ports
mouth, where is located the only or
ganized nationalist club in the state,
has adopted the municipal water works.
The town of Milford. at a special cleo
ton, adopted a town system of water
works. G%offstown, the home of d. A.
Iaggert, republican candidate for con-
gress last fall, has done the same.
Manchester has, in obedience to an
agitation by progressive citizens, some
OF them nationalist, ridden her side
walks OF the crosswalk sign nuisance,
and already has municipal water
works which yield an income above
expenses of many thousand dollars an
nually. An agitation has begun in IA
vor OF municipal ownership of electric
lights. The lights at present cost the
city $40 per year per light on the all
night schedule. A mass meeting
held in February last, presided
over by Mayor E. J. Knowlton and
addressed by Messrs. Legate and
Huntington Of Boston. voted almost
unanimously in favor of municipal
ownership. The state at large has
received an education as to it's rights
in the railroad by means of the offer
of Austin Corbin of 81, 600. 900 for the
states interest in the Concord rail-
road, canvassed and rejected during
the last legislative session. 1t ignored
the ridiculous ruling of the state in
ferior court that the state has no more
rights under it's charter contract with
the Concord railroad than ordinary
purchasers of stock. This education,
we believe, will prove important in
the lively discussion of state owner
ship of railroads which the next year
or two will develop. Last but not
least the nationalist and the reform
element have gained a point in the
passage of a secret ballot law. This
law was u~ndeniably opposed by the
politicians OF both parties. and as un-
deniably favored by the rank and file.
and with the aid of the newspapers, it
was secured. The writer appreciates

WHAT WE ARE WORTH.
wealth Which the American People
Have Created.

ItVOSAVA vVAACA Gn0 AMERICAN EH0ny0
Have Created.
Census bulletin number 1O4 has been,
Issued. It shows the assessed valua-
ton Of the different states and terri
tories, for 1880 to 1890, with increase
OF wealth per capita. According to
this bulletin the assessed wealth OF
the United States is "a billion, which

country at sixty-two and a half bill.
lions, or nearly s $1,000 per capita.
Iowa has an assessed valuation of
$25O.18 per capita, or q little more
than twice the mortga age indebtedness.
Kansas has S203. 63, which Is perhaps
less than her indebtedness. If the
fig ures of the Office are anything near
correct the American people have
created some eight billions OF wealth
during the past decade. How has it
been distributed? How many more
working mon have homes now than
thenp How much nearer arc the
people out of debt now than ,thenP
Are. the millionaires any plentierp
Why are they? Remember, if the men
who have worked had divided equally
with each and every person in the
United States each would have $3.50
more than in 1880, but some mon have
made from one to ten thousand times
that much. We said made, but they
did not make it, they acquired it. How?
The answer is yours. 1t is for every
man who has any solicitude for his
family OR country to ponder over these
questions and answer t o the best OF his
ability. We are well aware that the
average mar had rather be told he is
prosperous when he knows it is a lie,
than to be thought poor by his neigh
bors. This trait of human nature,
this love of flattery has helped to bring
the f armers of this country to their
present state. Orators would enlarge
upon the fact that the farm was the
basis of wealth. The farmer the most
favored man on earth. They would
contrast the misery and hunger of q
London workshop with the life of the
farmer. The farmers have known,
and nipe-tenths OF them will admit
that times are hard. Debts are harder
to pay. The mortgage placed five
years ago is still there. but when the
party orators tell them they are pros
porous they say TO themselves: Next
year if l have a good crop l a get
nearly or quite out Of debt, and will
then be in pretty good shape" So he
votes "straight" opposing his neigh
Dor, perhaps arelative, and after cleo
ton admits that something is wrong,
but he never will help the other fell
lows into power. Thus the farce goes
on year after year. The toilers OF this
nation produce over and above their
living $500, 900, 900 OF wealth annually.
The interest on borrowed capital is
$500, 600, 900 annually. Thus the
earnings of the multitude are trans
ferred to the pockets of the few

Where They Come From,

Our Alliance friends are wondering
where all the marked copies of eastern
papers are coming from that have
been flooding the country with seduc-
tive arguments to win them back to
their old political slavery. The fol-
lowing from the Indianapolis Sentina1
gives the solution of the matter:
'Mr. Clarkson's scheme for the sys.
tematic and comprehensive circulation
OF Republican newspapers is a legiti-
mate one. 1t is a good deal better
than buying votes in ''blocks of five
and Is likely to prove even more sue
cessful unless the Democrats are at
least as prompt and thorough in the
circulation of their papers"
The time for buying voters will find
as many if not more buyers than ever
before, but why do not the Peoples
party and the various farming and
laboring organizations follow suit and
literally sustain their Jealous cham
pions of the reform press and send
their papers as broadcast over the land
as possible? The struggling publishers
can not afford such an expense, but
every n of the organizations should,
through the agency of the Reform
Press Bureau, subscribe literally to-
ward sustaining such a plan of en-
tightening those not yet educated to
their noble ideas of how to emanci-
pate the toiling masses of our country
from the political serfdom into which
they have ignorantly and innocently
degenerated. San Miguel Messenger

Foreign Immigration.

One cannot help asking, 'If we
have a right to shut out the goods
manufactured by foreign nations, and
if we do this in the interest of our
working men, lest their wages be low
cred by the competition of what Hor-
ace Greeley used to call the pauper in
dustry of the old world, shall we not
also shut out the paupers themselves,
who come here and reduce the wages

can workingmen~ We have a per-
feet right to do this. It is true, our
fathers anne as emigrants, but they
found only a barren shore. They hav 9

We of a later day have carried on the
work which they have begun.
1t is not a sentimental matter.
