THE KEYSTONE.

Supt. Simmons. of the Keystone mine
was in town last Monday on his return
from Deadwood. While in that city he
made arrangements with the Cyanide
company for the treatment of 400 tons
OF concentrates now on hand which is
being shipped to Deadwood. These
concentrates which will yield at least
$50 per ton. will pat the company on a
better financial basis than it has been
since the long series of unavoidable
mishaps began year ago. A new shaft
has been begun on the extension of the
Holy Terror vein on the company's
ground in the hope of striking rich
ore chute similar to that now famous
one. 1t is expected that small cyanide
plant will be added 10 the mill for re-
ducing the future product of concen-
trates.-Miner

Mining Items.

The inhabitants Of Terrayille were
naturally quite elated las. evening VIXEN
the fires were started in the Terra mill.
The machinery was put in motion this
morning and stamps are again dropping.
No such move has been made in the
Caledonia but hopes are entertained
that that mill will also be running be-
fore many days.-Tribune.
HOLY TERROR.
The Holy Terror mine at Keystone
has given another proof Of the eontin-
uance Of its wonderful yield. Last week
another mill run Of forty tons was made
which cleaned up $3.50 or Sl7 per ton.
There have been miiled up to date from
this mine II tons of ores which has
yielded total Of $1,000 or average Of s26
per ton free gold and the surface has
scarcely been scratched. The vein, or
rather pay streak, in the ore BODY shows
all the indications Of permanancy in the
little depth gained and there is no doubt
that this mine is permanent producer
of the best gold camp in the Hills
Miner.
THE GLOBE NINE.
A CHRONICLE reporter visited this well
known gold locat on on Monday of this
week, which is embraced in what is
known as the GlJbe group, consisting of
ten claims situated about seven miles
west Of this city on the Penobscot gold
belt A vast amount Of work has been
done upon the claims in this very
promising group, Of which the Globe is
more especially marked by its higher
stage Of development. Numerous open
ings were noted upon this claim, among
which was one sunk 10 depth Of more
than fifty feet, all in ore which has been
proven by repeated laboratory tests to
be of such quality as to fully warrant
the erection of an elaborate plant for
its reduction. The vein, which upon
| the surface has a width Of less than two
| feet, is more than five feet wide at a
depth of fifty feet, with the strongest
| possible indications of permanence.
! The vein is remarkably strong one, is
encased between well defined walls, and
cuts tie formation at a right angle. 1t
| is matter for regret that its owners,
| Messrs. Haserodt and Harbach, who
have 80 persstently continued their
efforts in the matter Of its development,
are unable TO erect a plant upon it for
the reduction Of the ore, which in its
remarkable abundance and excellent
quality gives such unmistakable assur
ance of rich return. 1t is scarcely
possible that property Of such excep.
tional promise should long escape the
anxious eye Of capital, and it may be
confidently expected that when tile
clouds of the existing period of financial
depression have passed by, this valuable
proT erty will be eagerly sought, and its
/ buried treasures utilized to the material
benefit of the region in which it is
located, and the country at large.

question. Foss says he believes. His be-
lief has at least not made him honest
Read his letters in the Rodhuggeren With
all the contempt for despicable hypocrisy
and falsehood which language is capable
u expressing, we protest against Mr..

dow In every laborer's face. In behalf of
humanity we protest against his deceit
and distortion of matter and action. He
caught In so many distortions
OF truth and positive false
moods that no word of his can be believed.
Ole f. Hagen has lived in Crookston over
~ years, and in spite of the fact that he
such corruptionists and back-biters have
hurled their mud and shot they have not
succeeded in finding a questionable action
OF which he has been guilty. 1t is such
persons as FosS and Bydel and JOrgen
Jensen that SANDER him. and it is a dis
grace TO respa ctability that such persons
De allowed, without protest, to SANDER
honorable men. We have watched the
Ilsht as well as any one, and we know the
situation as we'll as any one, and therefore

spsctability and shameless attack on an
honorable laborer.

General Weaver.

To the Editor:
I see a desperate effort is being made to
defeat, as they suppose for the last time
the gallant old warrior, Gen. Weaver Not
only will tens, but perhaps hundreds of
thousands of dollars be spent to defeat the
old generals election to congress- from the
Ninth Iowa district, but see that the elo-
quent Slippery Elm Dollver, from the Tenth
is going to devote two weeks work against
the old general; SO also is Tom Reed, Bill
Mckinley and Benjamin H. Harrison
Think of it. Besides all this array of ma
tional corruption, they stiH talk of send
ing old Honest 60 John Sherman down
there with that $50O000 of bride money re-
ceived from Ernest Seyd, together with the
interest thereon, to buy up the floating
vote
Can't the old general have some help in
his last struggle? OF course they don't
want him again in congress. Neither does
a den of thieves desire the presence of a
sheriff Where is Senator Stewart of Ne
Vada; Congressman Bryan and Senator Al
len, of Nebraska, and the grand and elo-
quent old sage, Ignatius Donnelly, of Min
nesota? Let this quartette of warriors
face the Harrison, Mckinley, Reed and
Dolliver brigade and I'll bet eleven hun
dred to eighty that Gen. Weaver will be
triumphanty elected.

CORRESPONDENCE,
OUR FORUM.

It is part of the purpose % estab-
fishing the REPRESENTATIVE to af-
ford forum, in which the brightest
minds in the populist party and in
the farmers alliance can express and
compare their views. The paper will
not be responsible for the opinions
set forth, but will try to give all
sides Of the questions at issue a fair
hearing. We would suggest to our
correspondents to make their letters
brief and to the point; not to OK
coed one-quarter of a column, if pos
sible. If you have lengthy commun-
ication cut it in half and make two
letters of it. Avoid personalities
Don't write unless you have some
thing to say; and let each letter
nave motive and teach something
to the reader Try to make your
readers better and wiser by what
you write Never mind about the
grammar or the spelling. The prin-
ter will fix all that. Good sense and
an honest purpose are rarer things

ST. PAUL, Sept. 10.-The railroad and

lie their decision in the SteanersOn grain
rate case the order having been made dl-
recting the Great Northern to reduce it's
rates on grain and the milled products

commission is practically a distance tarlff
and the reduction, although the tarlTs OF
the railroad company are not in shape Tor
a close comparison, considerable.
The order of the commission is pr1ma
face evidence of what are reasonable
rates. 1t cannot become effective till after
the expiration of 80 days from the date
it was made. The company has 30 days in
which to accept the rates fixed in the
order or to appeal or by other legal pro-
ceedingS contest it's reasonableness and
validity. The company claims that it's
rates are reasonable and that they are in
fact lower than grain rates upon any or
the lines running into Chicago, and that
under the facts they exist it can clearly
establish in the courts that the order re-
ducing rates is unreasonable and unwar-
ranted Under the proceeding in court all
the facts can be brought out and the ques-
ton of the rates in all it's bearings care
fully investigated. If the claims of the
company are correct it is doubtful if the
order will stand. In case the decisions of
the state courts are adverse to the COM
pany it is more than probable that the
case will be carried to the United States
supreme court, the schedule ordered by
the Minnesota commission would affect the
entire Great Northern system under the
provisions of the interstate commerce law,
which prevents discrimination.

A PROTEST..


CrOOkStOn LabOrerS ana ii. A. FOsS.
To the Editor:
ton laborers, held in Crookston on Sept
3, and occasioned by the quarrel between
Messrs Ole E. Hagen and H. A. Foss, the
following protest was formulated:
When we laborers of Crookston put in a
word in the contest between Ole E. Hagen
and H. A. Foss, it is principally for the
reason that the dignity of labor is attacked
in it in a manner against which, on our
own and other laborers' behalf, we feel in
duty bound to protest.
H. A. Foss has always pretended to be
q friend of the laborer but in the discus
sion he repeatedly SCOTS at the fact that
Ole f. Hagen labors in the day time and
writes for the paper by night. We are
personally acquainted with Mr. Hagen, and
know that he not only does now, but
that for many years he has laborad by day
and written both for Mr.. Foss' paper and
other papers by night, and often far into
the night. More than any one else has he
fought against corruption in politics., but
as a laborer he has been forced to use his
leisure moments for this purpose. Now,
when Mr. Foss sneers and SCOTS at this,
he sneers and SCOTS at all honest laborers
and their efforts to take active part
in those things which concern the laborer
more than any other class of men, and Mr..
Foss has hereby shown that from the bot
tom of his heart he daspises the people
whom he formerly sought to win by n.y.
pocrisy and pretended friendship.
We protest against the scorn by Foss of
honest labor and the participation by the
laborer in public affairs as a scorn that
touches not only ourselves, but the cause
of labor genrally. Mr.. Hagen has always
been alone in antagonizng corruption in
these parts, and we recognize it as our
duty to show that we watch the fight with
interest. Mr.. Foss goes far as to call
Hagen a cannibal and a cheat When has
Foss subsisted for single day in so hon.
orabla way as Mr. Hagen has done dur
ing the eight or ten years we have known
him? Can FosS mention single one who
has done so much to promote general NOR
atty and the liberation of the laborer in
the Northwest for the last six years? Can
he tell of any who has labored
more unselflshly? VIII he insist that it is
humbug to laborers only available
time-the night-for such work?
1t is blushing shame to see Mr.. Foss'
letters, and see how he lays his plans to
squeeze out money, and classes as adver-
tisement matter that cost Polk county
$4,000. What reformer! And to degrade
an honest man in the esteem of his fell
terances made while he was a guest in
the mans house. and attempts to take ad-
vantage of peoples prejudices by announc-
| ing him an atheist. We have never
heard whether Hagen believes i'll Deity or

coward and SO do I; but your act which
places me before the people a candidate
for congress implies mutual responsibility.
You must not expect me to make all the
sacrifice. l really cannot afford to be your
candidate. therefore each of you have i'm
pliedly agreed to share with me the duties
OF the campaign. Each one must do what
ne can to secure a glorious victory. Peo-
pies party men may learn wisdom from the
habits and universal practice of those who
encroach upon popular rights. James J.
Hill, Thomas Lowry and all other heads
OF corporations never make political mis-
takes that would defeat their corporate in
terests. They are Republicans and Demo-
Gratis in a business way only. However
much they may appear to differ they are
thoroughly united in one main object-that
of money getting. For this they are poll
ticians and lobbyists For this they oppose
all reform. Now if the people of the first
district are as earnest in seeking their
own good, in protecting their own rights,
as are the representatives of corporations
and trusts, l shall be elected to congress in
November. OF this there can be no doubt.
Upon this line let US push the contest.
Self preservation demands every reason
able sacrifice from all the people to ac-
complish the result. Gentlemen, while I
do not feel like thanking you for what I
did not want, l do most heartily thank you
for the generous confidence expressed in
my unanimous nomination. My time has
been given to business. I am no orator,
have not learned the art of stump speak
ing, but have made the rights of the people
a study, and act of mine shall disap-

THIRD DISTRICT.
Address of the Congressional Conn
mittec to Voters.

Address of the Congressional Conn
mittec to Voters.
To the Editor.
A conference of Populists representing the
Third congressional district was held at
Peoples party headquarters Sept. IA. 1t
was decided not to make distinctive
congressional campaign, but to work in
harmony with the several county commit
tees in the district, and we urgently
quest that an energetic and aggressive cam
palgn be made all along the line. The re-
ports are cheering from all sections and
the enemy is frightened.
1t is of the utmost Importance that the
great productive interests of the Third dis
trict should be represented in the halls of
congress by a friend of the common peo-
pie The farmers, merchants, tradesmen
ana laborers who comprise nine-tenths of
the population. and whose direct personal
interests would be best conserved by the
public policy set forth in the Peoples party
platform. For 30 years the wealth-produc-
ing industries of the district have been mis-
represented in our nations councils by men
who have paid no heed to the welfare of
the mass of their constituents, but have
instead given their aid to monopolies, cor
poratlons, trusts and class interests.
1T has several times occurred that the sub
SeTFency OIL the congressional incumbent to
class interests has been in direct violation
of the pledges made in the platform of the
party that nominated them, notably O. NJ.
Hall, in his action to dispace silver from
its time honored place as a metal of final
debt redemption, thereby depressing the re-
ward of labor and it's products fully 80 1-3
per cent, while the competition for the
dollar was increased to a full greater per
cent.
The Peoples party is to a jealous
guardians of the principles of their plat
form, and candidate nominated by them
would ever dare to face his constituents if
he should while in office prove traitor.
In the person of Hon. j. NJ Bowler We feel
confident that will have a standard
bearer who, if elected, will carry out the
pledges of his party to the letter. Major
Bowler, who earned his title by honorable
promotion in the service of his country,
has learned to obey orders He has also
served his country and state in the state
assembly and has experience in legislative
work.
l take pleasure, in the name of the COM
mittee, to ask all patriotic citizens of the
Third congressional district to help elect our
candidate, ]. NJ. Bowler, to represent their
interests in congress.
All papers ndorsing the above please copy.
Fraternally,
