SEARCHING FOR GOLD.

Advices received at Washington
from the states and territories
which have heretsfore bssn kaown
prinelpally because of their produc-
item Of silver, indicate that the re-
peal Of the Sherman silver pur-
chasing law may set prove to be an
unmixed evil. Inquiry made
among the senators, members and
delegates, representing all these
states and territories, develops the
fact that in most of thsn the min-
srs and prospectors have begun to
exert themselves in the direction
Of a search for geld mines, and are
prosecuting this work with unwont-
cd vigor. La many instances they
did not wait for the repeal to be-
come law, but very soon after so
many of the silver mines clessd
down, as many did upon the aM
nouncement of the demonstration
of silver in India and alss others
after the president issued his call
for the extra session, greet many
Of the men who had bean let out
turned their backs upon the silver
camps and began search for the
more prssieus natal. That IN
many Instances they havs been
successful, the mails of senators
and members bear ample testimony

Arizona and New Mexico several
new gold camps have been opened
