GOLD GALORE IN THE GROUND.
Prof. Price Says There Is 100000 ,O00, 900
Worth In CaIiiornia's Gravel.

san FRAScIsco, july 5.--Too much
silver coin in the government vaults and
too little in circulation for the require
meuts of trade are the reasons assigned
by the retailers of this city for the present
decentralization in value of the white metal.
The proposition which would now receive
the most favorable consideration of th' 50
dealers would be TO devise means by which
the immense amount of silver money
stored in the treasury could be put INTO
circulation.
The effect of the scarity of this c"in
has been felt for months by the merchants
of the Pacific coast. ard of this city in
particular They have the greatest diff
in getting silver in any form for change,
and the sub-treasury does rot at any time
seem particularly anxious to ac c:ommod 'te
them.
rof Price does not take sanguine view
of the silver question.
'.The only effect the repeal of the Sher-
man act can have, 40 far as / can see, he
remarked. ''is to cut off a market for the
product of our mines while it will force the
foreign speculators to seek other fields of
profit out.ide of Amarics. The declin" in
silver will prove our benefit. Californi,.

mvre visible gold upon which an approx
mate calculation can be made than any
other portion of the world.
The old sAriferous grave channels of an
cient rivers extend the entire length of the
state from north to south. and it has been
tilted by competent experts in court that in
this grave alone still unworked there exists
no less than $40, 600 900 600. in gold.
when it is taken into consideration that
gold mines exist all over the Pacific coast,
in Oregon. Washington. Alaska and Ne
vada, not to speak of Arizona, The North
western and Southern states. 1t is self-evi-
dent that if a. much attention be paid TO it
as has been to silver mining the output " Ill
be enough for all demands of the United
States. 1t has now been decided to call an
extra session Of Congress early in August,
and some immediate action Of the govern
ment can be expected.
More important than the repeal of the
Sherman Law will be the attitude of Con-
gre.s in regard TO increasing the circulation
of silver coin. This is nos the considera-
ton which is interesting every one inter
e.;ei in the settlement Of the financial stu
alton. The withdrawal of all smsll goL
and the imposition of a heavy duty on all
foreign silver will nov be the cry of the
silver men, who will undoubtedly be unit
on the proposition

SkowaEs4s, July Especial. Al
though there were several celebrations adj
vertised in this county for July (, thoas-
ands of people gathered on our streets
Tuesday. and they undoubtedly Witnessed
the best celebration ever seen in this town
: if not in the county.
The board Of trade took an active part in
pushing the affair and it was thoroughly
adve -tised in all the adjacent towns, 50 that
notwithstanding the cloudy and threatening
appearance of the elements in the early
morning, by the time the sports began there
was one of the biggest gatherings here for
years
1t was a very orderly crowd, only very
fsw cases of into xicatioB beiug seen.
Young America began its demonstra
tions about Midnight, ringing bells, firing
cannon and making the night hi,ieous geE-
orally.
First on the forenoon's programme was a
bicycle race between Wallace Blunt and
Roy Marston, resulting in victory for
Blunt. Then occurred the following:
Road bicycle race between Il. T. Pstten,
Skow hogan, and +. b. Groves of the Lew
iston and Auburn Bicycle Club. Won by
Groves.
Sprint Race, 100 yards dash. Thomas

Probably the most interesting athletic
afuy in ths. h, tnO .nf-
war between eight men each from Steamer
Engine Company and Hook & Ladder
Company. The contest was very close,
won by Steamer Company.
Messrs. &. J. Bailey and Henry Phil
brick acted as judges.
At 10 o'clock the special train containing
10 cars, crowded, arrived. and as soon A.
possible the procession was formed. The
Cantons and knights of Pyihias in their eie
giant uniforms and with mounted leaders
made fine appearance. The procession
was made up as follows:
Marshal and Aids.
Halls Military Band of Wateryille.
Canton Palia-, Belfast.
Canton Halifax, wateryilie.
Canton so uersrt, Skowhegtn.
Belfast Division Knights of fytn ms of Belfast.
Wa,eryiIle Division of WaicryIe. -
SkowhcgaB DIVISION of SkowhcgaD.
Al Mariz silver Band
Fire companies uniformed and their steamers and
rIages.
Bicycie-.
Carriages.
The long line of bicycles in the process
sion called forth words of praise for the eff
forts of the local bicycle club In bringing it
about.
A er parading the principal streets the
line of INA ch returned to Water street and
was dismissed.
1t is estimated that 5000 people witnessed
the races at the park in the afternoon. The
large purses Offered had caused the entry Iof
a large number of fast ho. g. A ball game
was in p ogress during the afternoon at the
park between the Madisons and Sko~he
gans, resulting IN victory of the Madisons.
A one-half mile bicycle race WAS started
between trotting heats, but owing to the
heavy showers was not completed. 1t is
understood it will be- run of next Monday.

Last Sunday morning services at the

one church anyway-ths Church Of

member of the M. E. church, or any
other organization, and not believe in
the Divinity of Christ he did not be-

thought that were some names not
written in earthly church records that
were written in heaven, but he thought
all good men ought to belong to some
church organization. He said that In

their predecessors had done before,
