soon arrived at the ground, getting
there just as the playing began. Ac-
cording to the sore heads version ofthe
game it was base game of ball instead
of game of base ball, the former title
of the game being more in accordance
to the base decisions of the umpire
than the latter. After the game, list

recently looking at some mining prop

suited in big sale. These mines are
on either side of Snake River, between

Struck the Ledge.

1t is good news, although not unex-
pected, which comes from the Black
Jack mine this week. The ledge has
been cut in the long, new tunnel and is
four feet wide, of ore identical in char
acter with that found in the lowest for
mer opening in the mine, which is 500
feet higher up. This tunnel, which
will now be the principal working tun-
mel of the mine, is 2160 feet long, and
through it the ore will be delivered d.
rectly to the mill, saving the expense
of hauling. 1t has demonstrated the
depth of the veins on Florida Mountain
250 feet lower than the Trade Dollar
workings and gives not only greater
value to the property to which it be-
longs but to the Tip-Top, Trade Dollar
and all other properties on the noun
tain as well. The owners of the Black
Jack now have property which they
can not only work more cheaply than
heretofore but which can be relied up
on to be a permanent and profitable
producer for many years to come. The
1850 feet above this tunnel has only had
a small per centage of its rich ore stopped
out although mill has run steadily
upon its product for more than three
years. If anything has been wanting
TO establish the fact that the mines on
this mountain had long and prosper
GUS career before them that fact has
now been demonstrated.
Extensive improvements contem-
plated by the Black Jack Company
have only been awaiting the result of
the completion of the tunnel. These
improvements will now no longer be
delayed, and the village grown up on
the west side of the mountain will de-
velop into town.
No mining company operating in
owyhee possesses the good win Of all

which they have stuck to property
which gave but little promise after It's

the company and its excellent business

to know whether he was charged with
murder, arson or highway robbery. He

Finally it dimly dawned on the D. S.
that he had put him in the evening be-

Walter @. Gresham, Secretary Of
State is dead. Mr.. Gresham was man
of marked ability and of unquestioned
integrity. He made an excellent repu-
tation as soldier during the war and
has since occupied number of posi-
tions of honor, having been appointed
Judge of the United States Court in In
diana, and afterwards Post Master Cen
eral, by President Grant, then Secretary
of the Treasury by President Arthur,
who, before the close of his service, re-
stored him to the bench to succeed
Judge Drnmmond of Illinois, which
position he held until appointed Secre-
tscy of State by President Cleveland.
Mr.. Gresham was republican up until
after the nomination of Harrison in
1892, when his name was prominently
mentioned. That Harrison should be
the favorite son of the state from which
they both hailed seemed to make him
mugwump, from which the transition of
his allegiance to the democratic party
was quite easy and natural. He has
been widely criticised as Secretary of
State for his action regarding Honolulu
affairs, and for, apparently, showing
weakness to yield to the demands of
foreign nations in nearly every question
which came before him.

SOUND MONEY"
A True silver Wing Democrat Puts
Few Questions to the
President.

Omaha, Neb, April 2O.-Ex- Congress
man Bryan, through the Omaha paper
ofwhich heis the editor, has made public ar
open letter to the president, in reply tc
Mr.. C!sveland's recent financial epistle
After praising Coins Financial School the
letter says:
What do you mean by the phrase
Sound money!" In your letter you
make frequent use of that and kindred
phrases. In fact, in the course of your
letter you speak three times of Sound
money" twice of "safe currency" once
of "safe and sound currency" once of
"safe and prudent financial ideas," and
once of wholesome financial doctrine"
You also speak of "debased currency"
once of a "degenerated currency" and
once of "cheap money" In one place
you describe your opponents as sthe
forces Of silver mono-metallism," but
you nowhere explain what YOU mean by
Sound money" or what you consider
''cheap money"
Now, everybody favors Sound money"
and "safe currency" and plain and
simple statement Of what you mean by
those euphonious and universally ad-
mired phrases might dispel the war
clouds and make cline of battle" unnec-
cssary. If by "sound money" you mean a
gold standard why did you avoid the use
of the word ''gold" in your letter. If by
a "safe currency" you mean bimetallism
why did you avoid the use of the word
"bimetallism" in your letter!
Your opponents favor the free and un-
limited coinage of gold bullion into dol
lars, each containing 25.S grains of
standard gold; are you in favor of this?
Your opponents are in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver bullion
into dollars, each containing 412.5 grains
Of silver; are you in favor of thiss If not
are you in favor of the coinage of silver
bullion into dollars of any sizes 1t not
IN favor of the free coinage of silver,
what charge, if any, would you make for
,oinagef
Is the failure of the gold standard advo-
'ates to define their purposes and defend
heir financial system due to lack of
of the subject or to an unwil-
ingness to let the people know what they
ntends If the "proprieties of your official
'lace oblige" you ITO forego the enjoy
nent" which you would derive from
he writing of another letter ex-
flaming your last letter and de-
ming your position on the financial
question, please designate some one who
as authority to speak for you, so that
he people may be ''afforded an intslli-
