HELENA THINKS II A BAD JOB
Prayers for Conversion Of Bob Ingersoli
Would i3e Wasted


Helena, Dec. IA local paper interview
ed all the preachers in town and some lay
men on the subject of having a special
day for prayer in this city for the con-
version of Robert Ingersoll. Most of the
preachers thought he was past praying
for, from the fact that ne wouldn't pray
for himself, and besides, as one of them
said, 'It looks like firing mighty big gun
at mighty little game.' Another thought
it would be time lost.
The laymen grew facetious. One thought
it good idea to have the old Nick keep
his eye on Bob, as some of the rest of
them might get past him and go the 9th
er way. There was still another who
had a settled conviction where he would
probably be in the next world and thought
a genial soul like the pagan high priest
would be an entertaining addition to the
company, and therefore didn't want him
converted, and besides, being of unusual
proportions, the colonel would make a
good fire screen.

of arbitrating the question Of England's
claim to 5000 square miles of territory be-

on the southeast border of Alaska, and
said the only arbitration advisable was
the arbitration of battle. The sentiment
was loudly applauded. Baker was in

WHAT GOLD ADVOCATE CAN RePLY7
Why Has France Goid 70 Spare With
Ml'IIOns OF Silver Currency?

New York, Nov. 30.-Financiers and op-
orators are looking forward anxiously to
the report of the secretary of the treasury
and the presidents message, in so far as
they may bear on the currency situation.
Currency reformers are unusually active
a the present time and impress upon the
financial community that the reason gold
continues to go out is because our cur
rency is diluted with deprecated silver
and fiat paper. They forget that France,
which has within the last 20 years accu-
mulated the largest stock of gold the
world has ever saw, contains in it's cur
rency a vast volume of this so-caled
deprecated silver and fiat paper. Why
is it then that France accumulates gold
while the United States is steadily los
ing it? The answer would seem to lie in
the difference between the economic pol
icies of the two countries.

Gold i'm the valley.

G. I. Martin and w. III. Spragg,
of Mason Valley, have discovered
some pretty fair gold prospects in
Mason Valley, about six miles to
the southwest of Yerington. The
deposits are in the range of hills
lying between Mason and Smith
valleys, and are about two miles
from the Walker river. Other pros
pectors have discovered gold in that
section. It is low grade material,
but the indications are that there
is considerable of it as the lodges
are large. Mr.. Martin was in from
the Valley the first of this week
and was negotiating for the pur-
chase of the old Franklin arastre
on the Carson river above Dayton,
which he intends to take out there
to work the ore from the different
prospects.

tunnel from the river, near the
Rock Point dam, to tap the placer
ground further up Gold canyon.
All of this ground from the river
up, in the canyon carries gold, and
in some places quite valuable
ground is found. The tunnel
scheme will enable the men to
work the ground at greater depth
than they have yet been able to
sink with shaft, because it will
drain the ground of water, which
has been hinderance in sinking
and hosting the gravel. The ground
prospects well all along the line of
