succor Creek Placers.

New mining districts in this county
are being developed 20 frequently that
Esyen the assessor and tax collector must
find it difficult to keep track Of them.
The latest acquisition to the list is the
new placer mines below the falls on
Succor creek.
Messrs. J. w. Cowden and J. 81.
Dsegan who formerly operated mine
on Wood river which proved an un-
successful venture, located soma claims
on Succor last fall and W E. Mesby,
Of Caldwell, located several Others, the
two parties taking up about four miles
of the creek, extending from the old
Euler COW camp up to near the falls.
Mosby is now reported to be profitably
working twenty man on his claims, =
dozen Of whom we regret to learn, are
Japs. Messra. Cowdsn and Deegan are
employing six mon. They are all now
working with slnices. 1t is said the
gravel is from one to seven feet deep to
bed rock and carries pay for consider
able width from the channel. The gold
is quite coarse and easily saved and Is
worth $3.50 per ounce. There will
probably be water enough to continue
work until August. After the water is
gone tho parties will put in bed rock
fumes preparatory to working tho
ground on more comprehensive plan
next year carrying water from the falls
for hydraulickin2. At present the indi-
cations promise good pay for the sum-
msrs work, With much better results
for years following.

Republican party that as Republican d
legislation is 30 inherently corrupt and

Philosophy in Nuggets.


To relight the furnace is to start a
home mission.
A good advertisement generally gets
to the bank before the check to pay
for it.
Losing profit is better than losing a
sale.
To quit exertion is to invite disaster.
Ignorance and vice frequently claim
rights Of suffrage which intelligence
and virtue fail to exercise.
Tho right Of majorities to rule in rep

There are always new heights to

Senator Blackburn on Free Coinage

Senator Black burn, Of Kentucky,
says that four-ffths OF the voters of the
producing classes in bis state are not
only in favor Of, but demand the free
coinage of silver. Being asked by an
interviewer "Do you think your people
would want independent action by this
country regardless of an international
coDference?u
"Yes; that subterfuge, for it is little
better, if any, Of an international con-
ference looking to q rehabilitation Of
this metal, has been used until it is
threadbare. The people believe it is
simply an affidavit for continuance Of
the present conditions. They are not
to be put off longer With promises of
International conferences on the ques-
tion Of bimetslism. They believe this
country, isolated as it is, able as it is
admitted to be to control the financial
policies of all American powers, is fully
cempetsnt to take care of its own
money standard, and is not dependent
on any conclusions European powers
may reach"
"Can any generator thorough restora-
ton of confidence be expected without
a reconciliation Of silver?"
'iIf SO it must be done by resort to
methods that no one has been bold
enough to advocate or even suggest
said the Senator. at is plain that the
per capita OF our circulating medium is
not sufficient to meet the demands of
this country. When the more densely
populated, the older and thoroughly
developed countries of Europe find it
necessary, as in France, to furnish their
people so odd dollars per capita, it is
not easy to understand how one third of
that amount will suffice in our country,
where crops must be moved for thous-
ands Of miles across continents to reach
the seabord markets, where the most
gigantic system of internal improve
ment is still in progSsss and uncom-
pleted; with thousands of miles OF rail
road in progress of construction; in
short, whore we snsed per capita at
least double what is required in the
older and more thoroughly developed
country, it is difficult to reconcile
contraction of the volume of currency
with the best interests of this people
who are thus endeavoriDg to to develop
other resources. or course something
may be substituted for silver, whether
it be paper money based upon system
OF gold redemption, or whether it be
fat money, or whether it be a general
system of credit. but it would seem that
the conclusion cannot be escaped that
we need more money than We now
have, and hard money, but my .cenyic-
tion is clear that the only practicable
method by which we can relieve the
present condition is to use both metals,
and upon them predicate safe issue ef
paper, redsemabls not at the pleasure
of the holder, but at the option OF the
government in either the one or the
other.n

The amount of grumbling done about
the condition Of the roads all over tbs
county is fearful. The blame is about
equally heaped upon the county COM
missioners who let the work out by
contract, and upon the contractor for
not having the work done. The old
plan of working the roads and collect
ing the taxes was both expensive and
unsatisfactory, but the present plan,
though less expensive, is 30 much more
unsatisfactory that the sooner it is
abandoned the better.

Some malicious miscreant tore dow


Some malicious miscreant tore down
the notice of application for patent on
one of the DeLamar Company's mining
claims a short time since, thereby
causing the company considerable in
convenience and delay. The persons
who meddls with any notices posted on
mining claims, remove stakes or do
other mischief of this character, had
better bear in mind that the laws of
the United States impose heavy penal
ties on all perpstr ators of this kind Of
dsviltry. Fooling with Uncle Sans
statutes will prove serious matter for
any person caught doing this kind Of
mischief.

al the artillery of debate, were ready

portunity offered an antagonist of Tom
Reeds incompatible armament, and
never was great opportunity 80 well
improved. Satire and wit, taunt and
ridicule, were rained down mercilessly
upon the demoralized ranks of his
political enemies. The battle began
around Mr.. Reeds point of order that
the tariff bill was in the possession of
the senate, and the house could not le,
gally vote upon the question of it's pas
sage. Mr.. Reed sustained his argu-
ment by citations from parliamentary
rules and history and by argument of
convincing force. Concluding a scath-
ing review of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
of surrender, he flung this taunt into
the sullen ranks Of his opponents:
You are going to give half an hour to the
discussion OF free sugar in all its branches
you are going to give fifteen minutes on q
side to discuss the question OF coal; you are
going to give fifteen minutes on side to
discuss the question OF iron; you are going to

democrats in the house. He had eaten
dirt 80 many times, he said, under the
dispensation of the gentleman from
Maine that it had become less nau.
seating than it used to be. So he found
less difficulty in swallowing the nau-
seating dose the senate was now
pressing to his lips. The big guns OF
both sides participated in the war OF
words that followed. Mr.. Reeds last
broadside on the main question was the
following:

divided between two emotions-one is an

and for its position, and the other is feel

Congressional Proceedings.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST Is In the senate,
the discussion of the sugar bill was re-
sumed. Mr.. Jones of Arkansas gave notice
OF substitute which he would offer for the
house bill, which would impose a duty of
thirty per cent ad valorem on all sugars and
two cents and four cents per gallon on mo-
lasses, according to test. Mr. Harris moved
to refer the sugar bill to the finance commit
tee, but after long discussion the motion
was lost. The conference report on
the sundry civil bill, showing an agreement
on all disputed items, was agreed to in the
house. The bill to amend the act provid.
ing for the inspection of live cattle was
passed. A bill providing that all contracts
hereafter executed for the payment OF any
sum Of money, whether in gold, silver or
coin, may be discharged by any money
which is by law legal tender for the pay
ment Of debts when the contract natures
was discussed for time without action.
THURspAY.-The senate passed the bill
for the exclusion and deportation OF alien
anarchists Mr.. Kyle called up his resolu-
ton providing that no Intoxicating liquor
shall be sold in the senate restaurant during
the recess OF congress. He made the state
ment that liquor had been sold to boys who
were clerks to committees, and spoke
generally against the sale of liquors.
Mr.. German moved that the resolution be
referred to the committee on rules, and said
that the existing rule OF the senate pre-
vented the SAFE OF uQuOr IN tnS senate wing
at all. The only trouble was that the rule
was not enforced. He thought that the
whole business was simply for public show
For himself he would say he was a man
who did not know the taste of liquor, but
he never thrust his tastes upon people
either in public or private. There were
men, he said, who posed as reformers and
then went behind a door and took two or
three drinks. Mr.. Kyle denied that he was
posing as reformer, but said that IL men
wanted to drink they should go to the near
est saloon, which was only 100 feet away.
The free coal and free iron bills were
shelved by referring them to the finance
committee, and the same disposition was
made of the free barbed-wire bill. - A
large number OF members OF the house were
granted leave of absence and only routine
business was transacted in the house. The
The conference report on the general de-
ticiency appropriation bill was laid before
the house. The item under discussion is
that appropriating 1900 900 to pay a judg-
ment in favor of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company for transportation OF troops
mails and merchandise for the United
States. Two hours and half were ac-
corded for discussion.
FRIDAY.-The senate FILTERED away two
hours OF valuable time in discussing
whether Mr.. White of California should be
