mints. On the contrary, we find the
remarkable statement set forth that
unless a need for dollars existed, silver
in large amounts would never be
pressed for coinage But most remark
able of ALL we find it stated the price
Of silver bullion would rise above the
mint ratio. and at the same time de-
cline in London.
This remarkable essay, be it remem-
bered, comes from the most intelligent
organs OF the gold-bugs. 1t is put forth
with apparent reluctance, but it is to
be supposed that the editor is prepared
to stand by it. Without intending it,
perhaps, the Financial Chronicle digs
the ground from under all the single
standard arguments, and evades where
he does not admit, the arguments of
the bimetallists. Mr.. Raoul, having
pressed his questions, the Financial
Chronicle could do no less than answer
them, and the result is a hodge-podgc
of evasion and admission that will
cause a thrill of horror to run up and
down the cultured backbone Of Horace
White
After this display we think the advo-
Gates of free coinage ought to press
their campaign in the north and east.

GRANITE COUNTY MEN.
Rich Mines Owned by C. d. Mcclure, j.
T. Carroll and Edward kenrney.

Rich Mines Owned by C. d. Mcclure, J..
T. Carroll and Edward kenrney.
Recently The MAIL contained an item
to the effect that Joe Carroll, formerly
foreman of the Combination mine, had
gone to Lump gulch, Jefferson county,
to operate some rich properties in which
he is interested. The following from the
Miner iu that district gives evidence of
the richness of the property in question,
which IS known as the Lone Star:
On this property, the discovery of
which was mentioned a few weeks since,
in these coums, work is now going for
ward as fast as force Of carpenters can
do it, making preparations for extensive
operations this winter, A large four-room
frame house and annex kitchen is being
constructed, as we'll as bunk house, the
lumber for which is now on the ground.
The shaft on the Lone Star has been
sunk to a depth of SO feet by means of a
windlass, but as about 40 gallons of
water had to be hoisted out with the
bucket every eight hours it was thought
best to put up whlm and conduct
further explorations by that means. A
whim has been purchased from the
Helena Iron Works and is now on tho
ground and will be at once set up, en-
closed IN suitable building, and the
shaft pushed down to the 100. Lumber
and square timbers for tlmbering the
shaft to depth of 100 feet is also piled
UP on the ground, and the general ap-
pearance of the place impresses one with
the feeling that that particular portion
of mother earth is about to be pros
pected in earnest for the wealth thought
to be concealed there.
In the bottom of the shaft so feet
from the surface, there is we'll defined
ore streak about Is inches in width, and
as this ore chute goes entirely to the
surface, narrowing down as it goes up,
the so feet additional depth will give 100
feet of stopping ground. There is already
about halt carload of ore piled up on
the ground taken from the shaft, and if
the ore goes down, and there is no
reason to think it will not, the Lone
Star will soon be in a position to claim
recognition among the mines of the
camp. The average assay value of the
ore so far discovered is 322 ounces, which
IS away above the average prospect
The property IS owned by Messrs. Ed,
Kearney, Joe Carroll and Charles D. Nc
Lure, of the Granite Mountain mine,
and as these gentlemen are not bothered
for the ready cash with which to prose-
cute development work, the chances are
that If the mine warrants it something
will happen.
Edward Kearney, one of the owners of
this property, is an old Nevada miner,
having spent many of the best years of
his life on the famous Comstock. He
used to work for Mackey, Flood and
O'Brien in the old bonanza daya and ha
speaks Of them in the highest terms.
Mr.. Kearney says that Virginia, New, is
now and salways was one of the best
mining camps in America to work in
and that the gentlemen named were

WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
The Reported Drowning OF p. c. Rob-
ertson Not Confirmed.

Vigorous inquiry into the drowning OF
P. G. Robertson at Seattle has failed to
establish the truthfulness OF the report
Upon receipt Of the news here, officers
of the knights of Pythias lodge, of which
Mr.. Robertson is member. sent tole-
grams to Seattle and Tacoma to the
chiefs of police and they replied that no
such accident had occurred in either OF
those cities. ...
The newspaper article which gave the
report circulation at first was a telegram
from Tacoma to the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gercer. P. j. Shaw, who arrived here
from the coast during the week past,
says he also read the account of the
drowning in Spokane paper, and that
report Was similar to the one IN The
Mail Of last Thursday.
1t is now believed that there was no
foundation for the report, and it is
hoped Mr.. Robertson is safe at his destl-
nation in Douglass Island, Alaska.

FIXING VALUES.
Why Gold Is Apparently More Valuable
Than Silver.

Why Gold Is Apparently More Valuable
Than Silver.
So far as any intrinsic value is con-
cerned, silver is more valuable than
gold. It is a harder and more durable
metal, and can be used in many ways
for which gold is not adapted. The
reason gold is more valuable than
silver is because those who have con-
troll of the money market have decided
that it shall be so considered. If
few men like the Rothschilds were TO
decide tomorrow that silver should be
"the money Of redemption" as they
are pleased to call it, gold would be
worth no more, if as much, as silver is
to-day. The value of gold is purely
artificial, and the creation Of money
brokers, who have selected it as the
standard Of value; first, because they
are largely English and the British
empire produces gold but practically
no silver; secondly, because the supply
of gold is smaller and therefore more
easily controlled by few men, who
own most of the gold mines of the
world.
When the discovery of gold in this
state threatened to give an overproduc-
ton of gold, the same men who now
clamor that all debts should be paid in
gold, then wanted silver, the scarcer
metal at that time, as the money of re-
demption and payment. The creditor
natural wants all he can get from his
debtor. # he can loan him one dollar
and get back two, he considers himself,
and is considered by the world, an able
financier.
While the British government, to
please the bankers which control it,
has fixed a standard price for gold, and
pretends that silver is a mere com
modify, yet it buys this silver, coins it
in the ratio of IS to and forces it
on the Asiatics for that value, showing
again the power of the government
and that the value of the metals as
money is arbitrary and artificial. 1t is
dishonest, according to our English
creditors and their tools in this coun-
try, for the United States to pay its
debts in silver, because silver is worth
only one-thirty-second as much as
gold, but it is perfectly legitimate and
honest for the English trader to use
silver dollars coined on the basis of Is
to in the transaction Of his business
with the Chinese, japanese and other
Asiatics.
The English people never were con.
sistent in anything, but they are prob
ably more inconsistent in this money
matter than in anything else they do,
and the only extraordinary thing is
that Americans should be fools enough
to play into their hands as complete
as they do-Los Angeles Express.

A FINANCIAL PROBLEM.
The Kind of Money Paid Out and Received
hv bn

The Kind of Money Paid Out and Received
by the Treasury.
The Bulletin has been asked, if with
q revenue equal to or in excess of cur
rent expenditures the gold reserve
may not be maintained without re-
course to borrowing. Our correspond
equal to the needs of the treasury
enough gold would be paid into the
treasury to enable the treasury to
meet all demands without drawing
upon the reserve. The folly of this
reasoning lies in the fact that the rev.
enues of the government are not paid
in the kind of money that its expend-
itures are paid in. There is no reve-
nue. due the treasury that may not be
paid in silver, silver certificates, legal
tender or Sherman treasury notes.
When there is difference in CONNER
cial value between kinds of money
that are receivable for government
dues, the bulk Of such dues.
will be paid in the cheaper
kind. The government might, there
fore, receive in some kind of receiva-
BILE money dollar for each dollar it
had to pay out, and yet not possess the
kind of money in which it's debts must
be paid If all government dues were
payable in gold, as all government ex-
penditures are held to be, revenue
equal to expenditures would protect
the gold reserve. The remedy lies either
in making government dues paya BILE in
gold or in paying debts with silver.
The former policy would in effect re-
peal the BlandAllison act of 1878, and
thus establish gold monometallism by
law, while the other would recognize
silver as money of ultimate redemp-
tion and thus practically establish BIZ
metallism. San Francisco Bulletin.
