DELAMAR NUGGET: John Har

DELAMAR NUGGET: John Harris,
Who has perhaps rustled as hard as
any wood contractor in camp last
year and this, to ge: even with his
loss of two years ago when some
scoundrel burned his wood pile, is
still out of luck. Out of seventy-fve
cords of wood he had banked out last
fall, OH Succor creek, he can now find
only three cords, and out of about
eight thousand feet of mining timbers
less than three thousand feet are left.
Thieves. We think it is time some
one went over the road for doing
these things. . Messrs. Blake, Mich
olas and Carolan are sinking a shaft
to develop group of claims owned
by them Immediately south of the
Boston, one of the DeLamar group.
At depth of twenty feet they en-
countered four feet of tale, pitching
west, full of streaks of britrl. silver.
From the location of this shaft it vii!
prove the trend of several veins
should it continue as good as where
now found. The parties own a group
of seven favorably located claims on
the south side of the mountain.

'rhe csaveatisn Met

The Idaho silver convention met in
ketchum On the 14th. The conven-
ton was called to order by Gov. Nc
ConDeli. Across the stage was q
Banner bearing the inscription. "16
to l. No Compromise" Gov. Nc
Connell reiterated his opposition to
any compronise and stated that II
Congress did not do something to re-
lieve the strain, all those who are in
favor Of free coinage must join hands
with the political party favoring sill
yer and setting every other issue
aside. s. B. True, late Democratic
candidate for Congress, expressed
similar views. A message from Con-
gresham sweet was read in which he
declared that the Presidents message
was y challenge to the silver men
which had been promptly taken up.
Unconditional repeal, he said, is i'm
possible, and free coinage seems more
probable. Senator Shoup telegraphed
that free coinage grows brighter
every day.

The Reservation Plats.
CDur d'Aleue Press.

Misleading statements recently ap.
peared in neighboring papers to the
effect that the Ceur d'Alene Indian
reservation would soon be thrown
open to settlement. The facts are
that the reservation was thrown open
two years ago and IS already occupied
by many settlers. The plats are ex-
pected in the local land Office In a
short time, when settlers will be able
to file on their land. This probably
accounts for the misunderstanding.
Soon after the reservation was thrown
open the plats were returned for cor
rection two or three times, causing
the delay in their being filed. 1t is
thought the Northern Pacific will
make an effort to hold all odd num-
heren sections under the provisions
of its land grant.

Mr. Edison Hates Telephone.
"What makes you work." l asked

You have shown that you care COM

moment of puzzled expression, and

THE rLArFosn.
Salt Lake Tribune.

One Of the astonishing things in
the House debate last Friday
was the practical repudiation of the
Democratic platform by Mr.. Rsyner
Of Maryland. After declaring for the
unconditional repeal of the Sherman
law and acknowledging that tho
Treasury Department had practically
annuIled it already, he closed his
speech with the remarkable words:
. As for me, in this supreme hour Of
my country's needs, | an not blinded
nor intimidated by the glittering
words of convention declarations. !"
That is to say, Mr.. Rayner repudiates
the Democratic platform as to silver.
That is what all the Eastern Demo-
Gratis do when they take the position
Mr. Rsyner announced IN his speech.
but few of them have the honesty to
say as he does frankly that bis posi-
lion is . reputation of the plat
form and that he 10 ready to repu-
date it. 1t is candid admission,
and we are glad to see it made thus
early in the fight, and trust that there
will he no mincing of words and that
all Democrats who really take the
position of Mr.. Rayner and repudiate
their own platform will have the de-
cency and honesty to admit the fact.
Democrats repudiating Democracy
and refusing to carry out the pledges
which they acknowledge their party
made in order to win before the peo-
pie, presents sight for gods and
men. Mr.. Rayner is to be congratu-
lated more for his frankness than for
his political integrity. Mr.. Bland
does we'll to announce that he has no
part or lot among such set of ras-
Gals.

A WRONG is something with which
compromise should never be made.
If ten pounds of wrong can be re-
duced to FIVE pounds, it can just as
surely be reduced to nothing wiped
out completely. History proves that
the true ratio in the coinage of gold
and silver is no greater than l6 to /.
Stick to that ratio. The side of right
is gaining strength and her ranks will
continue to gain new recruits until
the enemy will be forced to make an
unconditional surrender. To our
Senators and Representative the peo-
pie of Idaho have said: ave de-
mand the ratio of 16 to l and want
to compromise" If they heed not
this demand "may the good Lord
have mercy on their souls"

GEORGE JOHNSON, of Centerville,
left few days ago for Oklahoma, to

the future metropolis of the strip will
he, and there he will anchor. George
is acquainted with all that country,

One Of the rarest coins Of the Uni
ted States mintage was recently sold
in Boston for $1,000. II was : siI-
yer dollar Of 1904. There are many
stories about this isaue Of United
States coin. It IS said that there are
not more than eight known to be in
existence. According to the record
Of the U. s. mint, 1850 silver dol
lars were coined in 1904. One Of tho
stories about the use Of this mintsgs
il that they were sent to Africa 10
pay on American sailon who were
engaged in : war on the Mediterra-
mean with Tripoli It the time. Il i
said that the natives took great fam
cy to these coins and that the sailors
parted with them for souvenirs. Il
was stated that later the chiefs Of
tribes valued these dollars % highly
~ ornaments and tokens that they
took great trouble to get possession
Of them and that, partly through rob-
berry and trickery, they succeeded
in getting possession Of al the dol
lars issued that year. The dollar Of
1904 has flying eagle with thirteen
stars upon the reverse, while the face
bears the date and the head Of the
Goddess Of Liberty with floating hair.

The New York company that
agreed to take the full amount of the
State wagon road bonds, failing to
come to the front a short time ago
with $4,000 when called upon to do
so, was given as a reason by the
State officers for not going ahead
with the work. 1t seems to us it was
the duty of the State officers to i'm.
mediately endea> or to sell the re-
naming amount of bonds to some
other company and get the work
started as soon as possible. They
could have gone ahead and adver-
tised for contracts on the road, and
by the end of the forty DAYS required
by the law for advertising could,
without a doubt, have secured the
full amount for the remaining bonds.
The New York company has put up
$4,000 for bonds, which, with the
premium, amounted to $22,20O. The
State officers could have had an un-
dersfanding with bidders that in case
this money could not be secured from
some other source, that contracts
would not be let for this year. They
may have some good reason for not
doing this, bu. if they have it has not
been made apparent. An explana-
ton would not be out of place.

Onelda - the Frsst.

The people Of Oneids county, in
convention assembled At Malad q
short time ago, made their first dem
onstration for silver. Many able
speakers addressed the convention,
which declared for free and unlimited
coinage Of both gold and silver at .
ratio Of 16 to l. The resolutions
close as follows:
BE n Rsso1ued, That from all pres
ent indications it appears that both
the Democratic aud Republican par
ties have turned recreant to the plat
forms bv them adopted in 1892 with
respect to silver, therefore, il the ac-
ton OF the present Congress justify
appearances, we pledge ourselves to
remain aloof from both national par
ties until those pledges made by
those parties he redeemed and JUS
tice be done to the laboring and pro-
ducing classes, nv the free use of
both gold and silver metal as the
money of the country.
NJ. F. Cowley interposed an amend
ment to the effect that silver legisla-
ton should be sought for from one or
the other of the national parties, in
stead of resorting to independent ac-
ton. This brought forth such vol
ley of objections that Mr.. Cowley
withdrew his amendment. At the
close of the discussion Mr.. Cowley
stated that his motion for an amend
ment was put merely to get the senti-
ment of the convention on this par
ticular. The proceedings of the con-
vention were given in full by the Ma
lad Enterprise, together with a syn
opsis of the speeches made.

Tho Minneapolis Journal says that
there are $4,000. 900 people in the
United States, 2,0O0, 900 Of whom are
interested in silver mining. Hence
it says that the free coinage PROPOSE
ton Is in the interest of 2,O00, 600 a.
against 81, ,OO0,0OO. This style of ar
gumens is capable Of vast possibiIi-
ties. There are less than half .
million people interested in gold min
ing, hence the gold standard is in
the interest of 100000 as against
62,5O0.O0 people. There are about
$500 national banks in the United
States, employing perhaps $4,000
people, therefore, the national bank
ing law is in favor of $4,000 as against
62,975,000. There is one president;
therefore the constitution in this res
pect is in favor Of one man as against
62, ,999, ,999. Harrison Fog Horn.

STATESMAN: That the man of ad-
ipose tissue should go fishing while
thousands are starving and other
thousands walk the streets homeless
and still others eke out a miserable
existence on scanty pay for hardest
toll, should occasion no surprise. He
is incapable of pity. That such a
man should sit in the chair occupied
by Abraham Lincoln is one of the
stern ironies of history and challenges
ones better belief in wise superin-
tending providence. The dis
patches state that our Grover sent
his congratulations to the Pope at
Rome on the occasion of his golden
jubilee, together with book contain
ing all the documents, papers and
messages written by him during his
first administration. The cool i'm
pudence of the autocrat in this indi-
rect attempt to put the Pope under
such humiIiating and soul narrowing
penance is, as the Sycamore of the
Wabash would say. quite refreshing
II his holiness has passion for dull
ness, are there not the writings of the
schoolmen? Has he not access also
to the Koran, and the tones Of the
Chinese authors? Cleveland is ex-
hibiting a most malevolent spirit to-
wards the dear old Roman whose de-
clining years should be made as bright
and happy as possible.
