.ius.raiia's Gold Fields.

Some big stories are current Of the rich
ness Of the Coolgardie gold fields In West
ern Australia. and particularly Of one
mine In the dis,rict discovered by two
young adyenturers named Bailey and
Ford. The former, while prospecting,
found 46.ounce nugget sticking out from
reel In big mountain of quartz. A.
quickly as possible claim was staked
out. but, 10 spite Of all precautions, much
valuable surface ore Was stolen before .
proper guard could be established.
The monthly output from the mine
now amounts to 20O) ounces. From 80
tons Of ore picked from bulk OF 400
tons, Il, 600 ounces Of gold was obtained,
and the remainder Of the stone is expect
ed to yield from fve to six ounces to the
ton. Oar Of go tons raised from depth
OF 10 feet, IL tons we're picked. giving
$50 ounces OF smelled gold. From
another part Of the mine four tons selected
out OF 100 tons OF ore yielded 1900 ounces
of gold. Some Of the other returns Of
picked stone were: Five tons from $50
tons for 1000 ounces, two tons from ~
tons for 900 ounces, four tons for 1909
ounces, and 35 hundred. weigh, for 800
ounces. Some VI the surface ''is so rich
in gold that ounces can sometimes be
picked out in few minutes" Down to
the 5O-foot level only II is estimated
that gold TO the amount oi 1000 ounces
is nov In sight. IL il too soon AZ yet to
speak about the prospects OF other claims
which have been pegeed out in and
around Coolgardie. Very few Of them
have got beyond ths rudimentary stage Of
prospecting claims, although reports
have been received of some valuable
tinds, among which may be cited reef
carrying ten ounces To the ton, and the
discovery oi nuggets Of ff'y-twoounce
weight on field forty.fve mites distant.
The population OF ths place amounted TO
about 1870 some weeks ago, M, since
then has diminished in consequences Of
the terrible hardships which must be en-

And Why Noif

We are tired OF the oft-repeated state
ment Of the gold standard men that free
silver coinage would benefit the owners
Of the silver mines.
Why should il not benefit them?
II the free coinage Of gold benefit the
owners OF the gold mines. would IL not
be equality fair to have the silver mine
owners similarly bsnefittsd?
Even IL We had the free coinage OF
both metals the gold mine owners would
have the best of u because gold Is mined
at less expense than 1t costs to mine sill
yer.
But why is il that some people consid-
er il such bad tbins TO have the silver
mine owners profit by the free coinage
OF silver, while they have not word TO
say about the profits OF the gold mine
oSners under the present system?
Silver mining is An industry open to
all the world. II there is any pr ,dt in
t under free coinage what Is TO prevent
people from going into il?
