C. r. Shaw of Caldwell has been
with us during this week and his

Mr.. Reynolds absence in the happy
hunting grounds.
Raymond, the little adopted
son of w. J. Gard, who lives on

right arm broken. There being no
surgeon in that vicinity, Mr.. Gard
set the broken limb as best he could
and the wound is healing nicely
and the child doing we'll.
The news from Washington is not
overly satisfactory to silver men,
Money and patronage seems to have
had its effect upon some of the Con-

be guessed until next week, when
voting will commence. Meantime
men are idle and women and child.

Harry Thompson arrived here
from Rocky Bar Thursday evening
and departed last evening for Scot
land. Mr.. Thompson has left six
men employed arranging matters
for working the placer grounds on
Bear creek that were recently pur-
chased by a Scotch company, and
his trip is for the purpose of seeur-
ing a steam travelling derrick" and
other machinery, which he hopes to
have upon the ground before snow
again flies in that region. Surveyor
Z. c. Towne has completed the sur
vey for the water ditch from Trinity
lakes, which prove the scheme en-
tirely feasible, and construction
work on the same will soon COM
mence and, if possible, the ditch
will be completed in early winter.
The company owns about five miles
of valuable placer ground on Bear
creek, eighty acres on Red Warrior
gulch, besides locations on numer-
ous dry gulches along the route of
the proposed ditch. Mr.. Thompson
has abundance of capital at his
command and all who know him
and his indomitable energy will feel
gratified to learn that he has been
selected to manage such a grand
work, and one that will eventually
cause Rocky Bar TO assume its old
time prosperity. Harry Thompson
is q pioneer miner Of the Bar and
his return to that good old camp
will be anxiously looked for.
Attorney f. NJ. Wolfe OF this

Tate and Antoine Canadas returned

In the Salt Lake Herald Of the
Odd there appears lengthy. inter-
esting and truthful letter relating
To the Last Chance mine in At
lanta. but in the same article, which
is written from Ketchum, is a para
graph about tho roads leading into
Atlanta which is entirely false. 1t
il as follows:
II the camp ever gets fresh star, IL viii be good
thing iot keiehum this Is the nearest trading and
shipping point. A good wagon road extends from
here Ia sawioth. forty Ave ues distant, and from
their u Atlanta IL s. twenty three miles by trail
The only ether route i by way Of Mountain Home,
witch has a wagon roAi 20 Rocky Bar. sixty miles,
AMI thsncv eighteen miles by trail to Atlanta
Now it is well known fact that
ever since the completion Of the
railroad and the existence of Noun
tain Home there has been q good
wagon road leading from this place
into the town of Atlanta, and over
which a vast quantity Of heavy
mill machinery has been hauled by
teams. And even long before the
advent Of the railroad here big
teams made regular trips into At
lanta from Kelton on the Central
Pacific railroad. II is true the dis
lance from ketchum TO Atlanta il
less than from Mountain Home
but there is and never can be other
than a rough and dangerous trail
for pack animals from Ketchum
Mountain Home is and always will
be the shipping point for Atlanta
over which road passenger and
mail coaches run daily.

caused us to use SO, 615, 1875 of our coined
silver dollars for that purpose in addi.
ton to that portion of the product OF
our mines not bought by the govern
ment.
The silver bought by the government
was paid for with 1869, 429 in silver
treasury notes, whereas the 1919, 779, 392
ounces thus bought had a coinage value
amounting to s167, AS, 1875, so that tho
difference which would have been
gained, in money, had the whole of it
been coined at a ratio of 16 to l, was
$40, 1852, $685. During the same period
our net loss in silver money, by reason
of excess of exports over imports,
amounted to about $13,O0O,0O0. This
loss by export, as also the sum OF $1O,-
615, 1875 used in the arts, did not come
out of the silver produced during the
period named, but out of the stock of
silver money accumulated before Au-
gust l, 1890
Cold figures, honestly handled, will
not lie. Our total gain by the free
coinage of the entire silver product OF
the United States, for the two years and
five months, would have been $42, 1884,
1896, or about IS cents per capita for the
average population for the period.
Query-If we gain IS cents per capita
every twenty-nine months, how soon
will we have $50 per capita?
At this writing there is very consid-
cradle talk to the effect that the silver
men proper, i. e., the senators and con-
gressmen from the silver states, are
making overtures for compromise in
the nature of free coinage bill at the
ratio of 20 to 1. 1t is also said that
Senator Vest is preparing bill provid-
ing for free coinage at ratio of "a to 1.
1t will be interesting to know just
what the result would have been if we
had had free coinage at such ratios
during the twenty-nine months in ques-
ton.
At 90 to 1 we should have had SO, 4O9,-
$40 more than we have had under the
operation of the Sherman act At "a to
l we should have had s13, O42, TAT less
than we had as the law now stands.

Objections to Vests idea.

It is stated that Senator Vest will in
troduce a bill providing for the free
coinage of silver at ratio of "a to /.
What would be the object of such a
bill? In the first place, as India has
virtually established ratio of % to 1,
which gives silver a coinage value of
"a cents an ounce, while a ratio of "a
to gives coinage value of SO cents an
ounce, India would offer, say, 80 cents
an ounce for silver, with the result that
she would obtain all our silver and
make a seignorage of four cents an
ounce upon its coinage. Again, even
if we coined our entire output, as the
combined output of both silver and
gold in the United States is almost
exactly the same per capita that it was
in 1878, counting silver at its coinage
value, the effect of a change of ratio to
"a to would give us as much less gold
and silver coinage value, as one-third
of the present output of silver, or about
e25, OOO, 600 less than in 1873. 80

Reading of the following financial

1--WE demand national currency,

that without the use of banking cor

''Mr Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
1.-THE fight between those who be-

that is real money, gold or silver-and
paper redeemable in the same and
those who believe in the use of soft
money, that is, paper-promises-to- pay
money, redeemable in other promises
to pay-is on. Gold and
silver have been used as money
from time immemorial and no man
ever lost by either of them. Based,
too, upon gold and silver, it's vol
ume must be regulated by the out
put OF the precious metals, which, Of
itself. would prevent any sudden period
OF either imitation or contraction. =
Again, the volume being regulated by
the output Of the mines, some kind of
stability to our measure of value would
be insured, a thing none of the gold
using countries have had for twenty
years, and which is the one thing above
all others that commerce needs.''

vention. Curtain drops Pull down

parties will receive credit according to
the number of votes cast. In this case
the republicans will nominate west
ern man upon bimetallic platform.
In any event. the peoples party, if it
continues to advocate metallism, will
have to go before the country upon the
same financial platform as is formulate
ed by one, or both the other parties.
In proof of this, l offer the opening
paragraph in Chairman Allen Thur

1.-THE fight between those who believe
that the circulating medium of this

real money, gold and silver, and paper

Politics does, indeed, make strange
bedfellows. The populists should at
once have risen in a body and left the

party concludes to make fight for it's
true principles and adopts platform
demanding full legal tender inconyerti-
BILE promises to receive under a
numerary monetary system; whatever
may be the measure of credit received
by it, because of the reconciliation OF
