snate River Gold.

One year ago last May, we are informed
by sir. q. w. Paul of Riverside, the chief
engineer Of the Oregon Pacific railroad,
Mr.. a. 0. Eckelson, stopped ct his ranch
over night For some years past Mr.. Paul
has occupied his spare time mining with
rocker on the Snake river bars adjacent to
his place. At the time of Mr.. Eckelson's
visit he was so engaged, and together they
prospected and talked of the possibilities
OF g machine that would save Snake river
gold, says the Caldwell Tribune. The up
shot OF the matter WAS that MIR. Eckeison
informed his host that be had a friend who
had been working on such machine for
years, and that he had unbounded con f.
dence in mis- ability TO master the PROPOSE
tion When he left Tor Portland he took
with him 200 pounds of gold carrying sand,
ana about two months later Mr.. Paul re-
celyed al order for several hundred pounds
morr. Things remained IN this shape until
several n aihs ago, when MIR. Paul was
again visited by Mr.. Eckelson. VINO was
accompanied by AIR. n. l.. Raber, Raber of
Corvallis, Oregon. In q quiet and secret
manner they went to Work experiment ting
with their nachlne-not even allowing Mr..
Paul 10 witness their worA-and after
some time they departed. Last August
they again appeared al the ranch and re-
sunea operations, aud later were joined by
MIR. L. L. Scott. president of the Portland
Loan * Trust company. who was sum
moned 10y telegraph. Mr.. Paul WAS then
taken into the confidence of the operators
and witnessed a test RUE of the machine.
Eight cubic yards Of sand yielded over $40
and be made thorough search of the
taiiings by pannlng, but mol color was
found. The quicksilver process also failed
to show any GOLD in the tailings. The prln-
gold carrying sand over silver plate and
through three separate mercury baths,
which amalgamates ali the gold. The main
feature OF the process lies in the mercury
baths, which being charged with some
secret compound enables 10 amalgamate
anything-eyen greasy iron, as shown by
several trials by Mr.. Paul. Patents for tie
process have been obtained and stock
company TO handle the same will be organ
izen in Portland soon. Our informant saws
that all the parties that have visited his
place are men OF wealth and influence and
have developed this process on strictly
scientific lines. Mr.. Paul is ar OLD miner
and not man given TO enthnsing over any
thing but what shows results and he is
confident that the gravel beds of the old
Snake river will have TO give up their
treasures. He shipped ten tons of sand TO
Portland today. and the company will make
public exhibition of the process at the
Mechanics fair in Portland. Outside OF
lahor the machine caE be operated for 10
cents day, and as any OF the gravel bars
will psy from "a to $50 per day to the man.

ratification meetings ever held in southern
Idaho occurred there tonight. A special
train was run from Boise aud trought
large delegation a torchlieht procession
was for-7ed at The Commercial hotel and
marched to the hall, where the largest
crowd was waiting at that hour that
ever greeted any political SPEAKER in
Nampa. When the speakers entered the
hall it was filled axd several minutes be-
fore quiet was restored. Colonel John K.
Stearns called the meeting to order and in
few well chosen words introduced Hon.
John M. Burke, who IN a very able manner
discussed the different questions that so
deeply interest the people in the coming
campaign. Hon. E. B. True, nominee for
Congress: Hon. ). II. Hayes, Lominee for
Joint senator Of Ada and Elmore counties;
Hon. Phil Reagan, nominee for state
treasurer; Captain C. c. Stevenson and
others spoke 81 the conclusion of which
each was loudly applauded. Flags are
floating from the house tops, cannons are
booming and bon fires are burning Burke
and Cleveland are being cheered on every
hand, ana when the Stn of November comes
Idaho will surely go Democratic by
handsome majority

in 1T to which he could subscribe, and that
was THAT the animosities of war should
be buried; that the states could not be
pinned together in union with the bayonet"
He desired to remind che Populists, how
ever, that union could not be cemented by
eggs. The south would never be recon

with as much freedom in Georgia as in

Unqualified Falsehoods
PULASKI, Tenn, Oct. S.-Generai Weaver
and Mrs Lease arrived this morning
They were met at the depot by 200 farm
ers. mostly in wagons and on horseback,
who escorted them into town.
People here say if Weaver attempts to
deny the truth of the afidavits denouncin e

crowd on the public square, the address
lasting thirty minutes. Summing up the
charges made against him, General Weaver
said: "As God is MY Judge, l never did in

except levying money, and pronounce the
charges unqualified falsehoods. The war
is over; come here on mission of fra

come had the threats been thousand
times stronger"
The speaker was wildly cheered. Mrs.
Lease then spoke
Men who made afidavits of his cruelty
remained away from the fair grounds
where General Weaver spoke, and it is
thought by some this averted trouble
About hundred people met the train on

sion was formed of 137 people led by band
General Weaver rode in carriage with
Mrs. Lease and John H. Mcdowell, Peo-

against him as commander st Pulaski dur
ing the war. He declared that nothing
done by him here was otherwise than in
accordance with the duties of military
onmauder in such times. He never did
one single thing charged except the levying
of $1,000, which was for caring for negr o
refugees,

5 TWO SHOTS FIRED
Upon the Schooner May Belle by
G. Russian Cruiser.
One Shot Pierces the yessel-The Lowering
of Fog Permits Her Es-
caps-

Victoria, B. c., Oct S.-The schooner
May Belle just arrived from Conner
island reports an exciting adventure. On
Aug. 20 the schooner anchored seventy
miles north OF Behring island in dense
fog, which lifted suddenly revealing the
Russian cruiser short distance away.
She made no signal but sent shot across
the schooner's bows which missed the rig
glng by a few feet. The Indian crew in
terror hosted all sails, the captains orders
being unheard or unheeded in the excite
ment. Then came q second shot, which
pierced the schooner above the water line,
going completely through her forecastle,
still no boat left the cruiser, her com
mgnder apparently being satisfied with
bombarding the helpless sesler. Lucky
for the latter the fog again lowered, ana
she escaped.

gals mado his first speech in the present
campaign here tonight, addressing an au-
dience of fully eight thousand people, The

Before and during the speaking the Popu-
lists scattered circulars around containing
this quotation from one of Ingalls, speeches
delivered In the Senate Just before Senator
PETER was elected TO succeed him:
II cannot forbear to affirm that a social
system which offers 10 virtuous and mae
pendent women the alternative between
prostitution and suicide as an escape from
beggary is organized crime The financial
system under which half of the wealth of
the country is derived from the bounds of
nature and the labor of all is owned by a
little more than thirty Thousand people,
while one million American citizens, able
and willing to toll, are HOPELESS tramps,
starving for bread, requires adjustmsnt.'
In an interview today the Senator said
his observation of the industrial and social
system abroad had confirmed his belief in
the theory of protection. Referring to the
belief entertained by some that he was not
loyal to Republican principles, he said he
had been criticized on account of some of
his utterances after the November election
in 1890; be had nothing to take back it was

The Annual Report Of the Governor Filed In
Washington.
WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The annual report
of Governor Seay Of Oklahoms says that
the population increased from co., in
1890 to 1873, 100 in 1892. These figures do
not include Indians. The taxable property
exclusive Of counties in which no assess
ments have yet been made is 81, ass, 1872, an
increase for the year of "A, cot. 233. The
real and personal property OF the territory
the governor estimates al $40, 000, 600. The
school population is 81, 1926. an increase In
the year Of 10, 5S3.
There is growing feeling Of dlstrust
among the people of Oklahoma as to
whether the policy of allotting Indians the
choicest lands of the territory and making
them inalienable and non-taxable for
twenty-five years is fair and just, and
whether, if the policy is persisted in, the
future prosperity of the territory will nos
be seriously retarded.
