WHAT Is An HONEST DOLLAR.
A Leading Financial Paper Discards
the Intrinsic Valuer Theory

The Financier of New York, one
of the leading financial papers of the
country, in an article showing the
difference between the intrinsic and
the money or stat" value of gold and
silver coins, says:
"The two precious metals have an
intrinsic value and coin value,
which are by no means necessarily
identical-which in fact never are
identical.
"The intrinsic value of an ounce of
gold is its value as commodity for
use in the arts-for making jewelry,
for gliding and to all the other uses
to which gold is put exclusive of coin
age. 1t has this value whether it is
coined or not, and the value is not af
fected by coinage, though the price
is.
"The coinage of gold is the differ
ence between its intrinsic value, or
value for use in the arts, and Its ex-
change value as money.
'sThis difference is so material, that
If gold we're demouetIzed-were not
coined or used as money-its price
per ounce would probably be less
than half its price at present. We
have no means of determining this
accurately, nor is it necessary. All
that is necessary to clear understand
ing of the fundamental question of
coinage is a clear apprehension OF this
difference between the intrinsic value
of the coinage metal and its exchange
value when coined as metal. Where
gold has been even partly demon
etized this difference has become
manifest at once. Its price as bullion
has fallen toward the level of its nat
ural or intrinsic value-the value 1t
has for use in the arts apart from use
As a medium of exchange. Demon
etize the ounce of gold and its value
falls five, ten, fifteen, twenty-five per
cent. no matter what. The import
ant matter to be remembered is, that
it will fall in direct ratio to the ex-
tent of the characterization, and If the
demonetization is complete the fSll
will only be checked when the Level
of natural OF intrinsic value is reached

SILVER CRY AVALANCHE: A very
large vein was recently cut in the
Lepley cross-cut, eight hundred feet
from the mouth of the tunnel. The
vein runs nearly east aud west, and
has been cut into about 40 feet with,
as yet, no signs of hanging wall. The
character of the ore and the course of
the ledge leads the owners to believe
it to be the north extension of the
great 77-foot vein of the DeLamar
group. Should this prove to be a
fact, this company will have nearly
5000 linear feet on this immense
vein. The property is owned by
Frank Lepley, B. S. Howe, S. 7. n.
Smith and John Kent who has bree
driving cross-cut tunnel in a south
westerly direction for the past two
wears. This strike will be of great
interest to owners of other properties
in the De Lamar district as it proves
the continuity Of the lodges in that
great property. We hope to have
more to say about this property in
our next issue.

That there will be quite a mining
boom in the South Mountain camp
during the coming year is now set
tied fact. The recent shut down OF
the big lead producers in the north
ern part Of the State has put the Dem
yer smelters rustIing for lead ores.
An agent Of one Of the largest smeIt-
ing plants Of Denver, after person
81 examination Of South Mountain,
secured options on several mines and
we learn will work them extensively
this coming year. Parties from Spo-
kane have also secured some valua-
BILE options and their wide-awake
agent, Captain Weeks, has been busy
the past winter closing up deals, and
he has secured the cream OF the camp,
one of the mines secured by him be-
ing the Banner, the best developed
mine in the camp, having a large
body of rich lead ore opened up
ready for stoping. The Denver par
ties were after the same property, but
the captain got in ahead Of them by
. few hours. All that IS needed now
is railway to connect this camp with
the Oregon Short Line, and we have
it on good authority that the road
will be built. All the parties behind
the railway company ask is for the
mine owners of South Mountain to
guarantee shipment of fifty tons of
ore day. As almost any one mine in
the camp can do thus, we predict a
road can be built during the coming
year. The route of the new road as
decided on is starting at Nampa, up
Reynolds creek into Silver City,
thence to DeLamar, Flint and South
Mountain. This is the shortest route
between these points.

CALDWELL TRIBUNE: A bloodIess
tragedy occurred over in the Gala
way addition last Sunday night which
deserves a page in history. Mr.. Cupp
is working for bis brother over on
squaw Butte, and when he is absent
from home his family stop with a
neighbor across the street from his
house, which is locked up. Last Sun
day Mr.. Cupp came home unexpect-
edly, arriving in town after dark. He
went to his own house, struck light
and was doing some work. HIS wife
saw the light in the house from across
the street from where she was stop
ping, and not expecting Mr.. Cupp
home, arrived at the conclusion that
burglars were at work. Marshal
Galloway lives about block below,
and Mrs. Cupp at once went to his
house and gave the alarm. Mr.. Cal
laway grasped the situation and at
once proceeded to act. Taking down
his trusty double barreled shot gun
with which he used to hunt for red
skins in early days, he carefully load
ed the same to the muzzle with shin
gle nails, railroad spikes, public doc
uments, railroad schemes, Nampa
statements, Caldwell Tribunes and
other destructible missiles and start
ed for the scene. When within one
half block of the house he dropped on
all fours and stealthily approached
the house with snake like move
ment. Arriving at the window he
carefully peeped in and saw the bur
glar. He was sitting at table with
his back to the marshal, evidently
counting a bag of gold. Taking
careful aim, the officer closed his
ewes, and with a prayer on his lips
for the misguided man, he was about
to explore his anatomy with the afore'
SAID charge, when the supposed bur
rlar turned, revealing the benign
countenance of the master OF the
bouse. The marshal took bee line
for home aud threatened instah'
death to any one who told, but The

was IN town this week, circulating a
petition asking the County Commits
soners to construct bridge across
'he Payette at Marsh & Ireton's ranch,
a short distance above the mouth of
oquaw creek. The Commissioners
cannot act in the matter without be-
ing petItoned by one-third of the vo-
'efs of the county. The people of
'o's place, with but very few ex-
cepaons, put their names to the Pc
a''0n. The bridge would be great
convenience to large portion of the
population of the county. The re-
qu's''s number of petitioners can be
secured, and it is safe to say the
o'ldge will be built.

wheat ia gold dollar. Nor il there
in 4 silver dollar.
"The intrinsic value Of the wheat
given for eithera gold or silver dollar
IS greater than the intrinsic value Of
the metal in either. The wheat Is

for the coin . means Of exchange
for other things Of equal intrinsic val
ne with the wheat Demonetizs ths
gold dollar which buys bushel Of
wheat, reduce il to the intrinsic of
the metal value in II, and the metal
in the gold dollar will not buy half
bushel of wheat, because that amount
Of wheat Is more useful for bread
than that amount Of gold is for dec
orating vail paper or making jewelry.
If silver is wholly or in part de-
monetized, its price falls toward its
intrinsic value in PRECISELY the same
way. The rule is iavarisble and to
be relied on At all times II Is the
first principle Of coinage, and those
who remember it and apply it will
not be lost in the bewildering confu-
sion of statements about the value Of
this dollar or that They will knew
though the coin value OF gold dol
lar may be double its intrinsic value
it is not fifty cent dollar on that
account. No matter what the dollar
is, the exchange value it has is gwen
it by the coinage stamp on it, and
this exchange value is not its intrin-
sic value by any means 1t is always
much greater than the intrinsic value
If this is true, is there any differ
ence in precious metal " dollars and
paper dollars? In answer to this
question the fnancier admits that
there IS not any difference, and only
holds to the theory that the use OF
the precious metals gives q natural
means of controlling the supply OF
money.
The denominations of money are
fixed by law without regard to the
material used to carry the money
stamp, which is very tersely expressed
by the United States supreme cour,
thus: sThe constitution does not
ordaln what metals may be coined OF
that the legal value shall correspond
with the intrinsic. Coin passes not as
intrinsic value, but as legal value.
With these authorities before Us il
is very easy to determine what is ar
honest dolIar?" All dollars issued
by government authority that are
made full "legal tender at theiI
face value without regard to the ma
terial used to carry the money stamp
are honest dollars sWhat is dis
honest dollar?n A dollar issued and
made a partial legal tender. Every
dishonest dollar we ever had in thi.
country was the result of dishones1
robber legislation in the interests O
the money power conceived in sir
aud brought forth in iniquity." Th'
(" dishonest dollar" is true to its mis-
sion as thief among the people.

Following is a Bellevue snee;.l

Following is Bellevue special to
Inc Statesman, dated April 9th:
Reliable information has Just been
received here from London. Emo.
,and' that company has just recent
y been organized in that CITY on the
Queen OF the Hills mining property
with capital Of u, 100000. This
nine i located one mile from Belle
vae and owned mostly by Salt Lake
people. 1t is one Of the Oldest prop
critics in this region and as produc-
er OF high grade galens ore has rec.
ord second only to its immediate
neighnor, the once famous Minnie
Moore mine.
The dividends Of the Queen are es-
nmated to have reached $3.50, 900, and
this result has been achieved without
going over 500 feet below the sur.
face. This bonanza property is fully
equipped with all necessary hosting
machinery and an excellent mining
plant. The new management is thus
prepared to mine and mill its product
at minimum cost, and despite the
present low price of silver it can be
worked to good profit.
The past winters developme mt in
the mines of the Wood River coun-
try are exceedingly encouraging, all
having shown up well, resulting in a
general revival of mining interests;
and the certainty of this old producer
again starting up gives renewed con-
fidence for an active season around
here.
