p. Bland.

The most interesting figure in the house
of representatives is Richard 7. Bland.
This is not because he is the strongest. the
ablest and most accomplished debatsr, or
the most magnetic leader. No one would
his chair, that he has any more definite
object in life than to get through with each
days work with rs much comfort as posi-
BILE. He il evidently attentive, but most of
the time he ia quiescent if not ncquiescent.
But Mr.. Bland has been in congress for
years. He has learned how to eonduot his
case when he has one: and that he has ono,
and one that, in his own mind, surpasses
in Importance all other public questions, is
the secret of his power. In q VOID. he is
an intense enthusiast, a very honest man
and a very able advocate. Others may be
silver men for the profit of mine owners;
he is 3 silver man in what he regards as
the interests of the people.
Mr.. Bland wears Shifting clothes, usually
of the dark blue cloth affected BY seafaring
men. He recognizes the ~tailor's extrava-
Qance in buttons by refusing to use them
all. As he sits in his chair in the center of
the democratic side Of the house, posing
on the small of his back, with his head
thrown backward, a cursory glance would
lead one to believe that here was simply a
man bored with the place into which he had
been thrust. and out of which he would
escape if he could find any occupation in
which there was less to do than in that Of a
congressman.
When he starts to speak, however, Mr..
Bland is likely to attract attention. He may
not be interesting, but he willvery soon con-
vince an attentive and intelligent listener
that he is far from dull; that he thoroughly
understands parliament ~ business, that he
is an adept in all the tricks of the rules.
that he is solemnly in earnest, that he has
stored his head full of information and
misinformation on the sui ject Of the pre-
cious metals, that he handles his knowledge
in such a'manner as to convince untutored
minds that he knows more about monetary
matters than all tho bankers of the east,
and of Europe pat together, and that he is
the one man of all the plain people who ia
able to cope successfully with fiscal birds Of
prey. The hearing of one speech by this
man will show to any one who marvsls at
his power why it is that he is the apostle of
a great movement that is for the moment
threatening the democratic party with dis
ruption. and promising to turn its recent
victories into bitter defeat. - Hatper's

j. A. Dsnsen, OF this CITY, will have his
available assets increased nearly S1,OOO,0OO
by the sale OF nix mining claims In Wyom-
ing which no hsrstofors regarded - value

They are located in the Wood River mining
district, Fremont county. Wyoming. aud
were taken up BY Denesn and Billy Thomp-
son, an old-time prospector, in the spring
of 1885. About that time Denesn Wis
suporintsndent of u large cattle ranch IN
Wyoming, the property Of Harry Oelrichs.
q brother of Herman Oslrichs, Az Deneen
now tells the story, he located the claims 40
ANYTHING from them.
Dsneen says that Billy Thomp1on was q
frequent visitor at his ranch house. and was
continually signing about the wealth that
was hidden beneath the surface in the Wood
river mining district, about 800 miles north
Of Oslrieh's ranch. Thompson bemoansd
his fate that he had no one to stake him 10
tina he could strike \ mine.
One day, partly from COMMUNICATION Tor
Thompson, Denecn informed him That no
would not only grub-stake him but would
accompany him on o prospecting tour. Old

act off together and were gone for several
months, during which time the twain To-
Gated about o dozen promising claims.
The EXPENSE of holding them all was some
thing more than Denesn had bargainod for,
so he released those that gave the least
promise, and retained six of the claims.
Thompson, with the eye of An expert
enced prosrector, declared that thar was
a forum in them claims" Denesn, how
ever, on several occasions, was on the eve
of releasing his claim to the location. but
he had a superstitious feeling about letting
them 20. On several occaaions Deneen had
been offered $1,000 for his mines. but he
did not think that was q sufficient induce
ment for him to part with them, although
he admits that if the offer had been doubled
he would have eleefully accepted it. The
claims are rich in copper, silver and gold
bearing ore. but as the district has not yet
been developed to any great extent to
properly work the mines would require the
investments Of large capital.
Recently. however, w. S. Healthy, The
agent for an English syndicate. has been
investigating the Wood river district, with
the result that he was greatly impressed
by the richness of tho claims in which
Deneen is a part owner. He made an offer
of $4,000 for the property. This liberal
tender someWh hat opened the eyes Of John
Corbett, the postmaster at Lander, the
county seat Of fremont county, who il act
ing as Dsneen's agent in the matter. Cor
bett considered that the mines we're worth
more. and by his able barterinR the English
syndicate, known as the London stock d
Mining corporation. has bonded the claims
been paid to Corbett to bind the bar
gain. AS Denesn owns a one-half interest
in the claims. his share will amount to
nearly 1850, OCO.

The intelligent Montana wool grower,
who studies the question, the history Of
markets and the effect OF legislation on
values, must, unless his mind is (
traordmarily %prejudiced, reach Mr..
Woodson's conclusions. Certainly the
Mckinley bill has failed thus far to i'm
prove tho situation, and there are no
reasons to believe that a higher tariff
would be any better. Under these con-
ditions why not try free wool and soc
what it will bring in the way Of i'm
proved prices and steadier markets.
