THE SALE Is MADE
THE MINES OF STAR DISTRICT
SOLD TO SENATOR W0LCOTT
A Big Deal, which will Place Esq
meralda Once More in the
Front Rank as a Gold
Producer.

The transfer of the mines in Silver
Star district from the present owners
to Senator Wolcott of Colorado is all
but accomplished.
Last month G. j. Hills, the conf
Dental agent and expert of Senator
Walcott, made a thorough examina-
ton of the property, and it is pre-
sumed his report was more than fa-
vorable, as Mr.. Wolcott sent the fol-
lowing telegram to ]. A. Yerington ;
DENVER, June 7, 1895.
j. A. Yerington. Carson City: Have the
owners or representatives OF Silver Star
mines meet me in Carson on Tuesday.
HENRY G.. WALCOlT.
Accordingly all the members Of
the Douglas Compromising of
w. J. Douglas, Thomas Pepper, Geo.
Fottler, Dan Robb and e. Grassie-
Ed. Brown, owner of the Hardscrab-
bic, John Fleming and Frank Pc
drassi, owners of the Julia and Delu-
via, left on Mondays train for Car
son.
About twenty-five claims are in
cluded in the sale, those above men
toned being part of them.
Senator Wolcott is one of the best
known and most successful mining
men in the United States. His eX-
perts have made q thorough eXami-
nation OF the mines and on their re-
port the sale is made Esmeralda
county is to be congratulated on the
fact that q man like Mr.. Wolcott
thinks enough of our mines to invest
so large ain amount of money in them,
The benefits of this sale to the
county are incalculable The pur-
chase price is said to be $3.50, 900, and
large additional expenditures must
be made in the erection of mills,
bringing in water, building roads,
etc.
The owners of the mines are all
poor, Woodworking men, and this
sale will place them in comfortable
circumstances, ard allow them TO
work other mines in the district ,,
1t will take several months for
the new owners to get down to sys-
tematic work, but we predict-and
everything warrants the prediction
that within one year Silver Star dis
trict will be the busiest camp in the
State of Nevada.
This is the first piece of really good
news that it has been our pleasure to
record in a long time, and we trust
that it is but the harbinger OF other
joyous tidings from Candelaria, Sill
yer Peak, Aurora and Pine Grove.
The successful consummation OF
this sale is due largely to the untir-
ing energy of Jas. A, Yerington.
He was limited by the terms of his
bond to sixty days in which to place
property that other promoters
would require six months to sell, and
too much credit cannot be given our
young townsman for his efforts in
the matter.

Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1895-07-09

The LEADER last week called atten-
ton to the signiasant fact that the
first State in the Union ever carried by
the Peoples party, and whereit is today
stronger than in any other, is Prohi-
bition State, ahd III the further fact
that in Mississippi at the two last elee-
tions, the Peoples party has shown
less strength in tho whisky counties
than any whore else in the State, Now
the news comes from Madison that the
Peoples party in that county has for
mally disbanded and gone back to the
Democratic party. Madison is the only
saloon county on the Illinois Central
Railroad between the Louisiana and
Tennessee line, aud is one of those very
liquor counties we are talking about
where the Populists have never shown
any strength. Whisky and reform
don't travel togsthep,

ion in defense of States rights, lately
appealed to a Federal judge to set
aside State election law and give the
negro an untrameled ballot Has not
the Democratic party here in Missis-
sippi centralized in its Governor an
appointing power stupendous and un-
surpassed in any Republican State OF
the Union?
There is but one answer to all these
interrogatives, and that an affirmative
one. What cardinal principle can
the Democratic party claim today
which the Republican party cannot
likewise boast As the honest man
we know him to be-and a man, too,
who in the past has given some
proof of being a Prohibitionist.-
Judge Brame cannot but blush
for the party he is giving his
allegiance as he reflects upon
such a record +? And as he reflects,
will he, as an honest and sincere man
and patriot, claim that the organiza-
ton which today is masquerading as
the champion Of cardinal Democratic
principles, is the party of Jefferson
and Jackson, of John G. Calhoun and
Jefferson Davis? We cannot believe
he will.

A FALSE CLAIM.

When any one tells you that the
Democratic party is a friend to silver,
remind him
That the Democrats voted with the
Republicans in Congress to demone-
tie silver in 1873;
That with a majority of 1873 in the
House of the sd Congress, they re-
fused to pass free coinage bill and
killed one that was passed by the Re-
publican Senate;
That in 1893, with the President,
Senate and House all Democratic, they
the only law on the statute
books friendly to silver;
That at the two regular sessions of
the SD Congress, with 100 majority in
the House, they refused to pass free
coinage bill or any other measure to
improve the financial condition of the
country.
This is the party record. Where
does the friendship for silver come in?

ough was elected chairman. The com.
room was well filled with the yeomanrv
of the county. Rev. J. W. wellborns

Lawrence county, who is in his s7tb
year, led in an earnest prayer and in.
voked the Divine blessing upon tho
meeting. While an order of bus-
mess was being arranged by commit.
tee, B. T. Hobbs was introduced by tho
chairman and made short address
counseling unity of action on the part
of the reform parties in the impend.

meeting was, that while Lawrence
Populists conceded to Lincoln the
Senator, that Lawrence nevertheless
reserved the right to choose between
Lincoln county men, and hence ex-
pressed her choice as above. The rea-
son assigned for fixing the time and
place was that the primary election
