The President win never suoce

The President will never succeed
in his attempt to commit the dem
ocratic party to the single gold
standard. The rank and file of
that party in the elections of 1896
have set the seal of their condem-
nation upon the financial policy
advocated by the administration
They will not follow the White
House lead into the gold standard
camp. They are bi-metalists from
tradition, experience, practice and
principle, and Grover Cleveland in
all his glory cannot lead them
astray. He may succeed in hav-
ing the next National Democratic
convention adopt gold standard
platform and nominate a gold
standard candidate; but it will be
a fruitless victory for the gold
bugs, for the democratic masses
will simply do as they have done
il the last two elections-stay at
home and let the gold bugs elect
the candidate if they can.

Grangeville, Idaho.
MY DEAR Mr.. PARKER Il have
already commenced the work Of
securing an appropriation for the
Clearwater, and have much rea-
son to hope that we may be sue
cessful. The most serious difficult
ty which now stands in the way is
the fact that the survey is ten or
twelve years old. We will work
first to secure the appropriation
based on the old survey, and if
that is found impossible, we will
then endeavor to get authority
from Congress for new survey.
In any event nothing will be left
undone towards accomplishing
this end as l recognise it as one Of
the most important and for the
best interests of the State.
Sincerely your friend,
EDGAR WILSON.

TO DREDGE THE SU|SUN,
Congressman Hilborn Will Ask
National Aid for the
Project.
He Advises the Compiling of Sta.
tiStics Showing the Amount of
Shipping.

SUISUN, CAL, Nov. AFTER spending
yesterday in Suisun, Congressman Hilborn
took his departure on the last train for the
National Capital. The representative OF
the Third District came here ut the request
of many of the leading citizens of this
vicinity, who wanted to discuss with him
the question of dredging Suisun Slough by
the Government.
In December 1894. Lieutenant Potter, a
Government engineer, came to Suisun to
make an investigation as to the necessity
of improving the waterway, and through
some possible misunderstanding he re-
ceived no attention from the proper repre-
sentatives of the town. This resulted in
an adverse report being sent to the War
Department at Washington. In the face
of this report, Mr.. Hilborn was urged to
work for an appropriation for dredging
and otherwise improvi ng the slough, and
the matter was thorou ghly discus ussed by
all who attended the meeting.
The changed conditions of affairs were
pointed out 10 him. He admitted the i'm
portance of Suisun as shipping point
and said that, taken from this point OF
view, it is second TO Petaluma as an in
land shipping point.
The high freight rates charged by the
railroads to the people of Elmira, Vaca-
vile, Winters and other towns north oi
here have this season caused them TO ship
most of their merchandise to Suisun by

KILLED IN THE BRIGGS MINE.
Sydney Porter. Son of the Svoerinte1de1t
Fell TO His Death in Ninety
Foot SHIFT

RIVERSIDE, CAL, Nov. 4.-Lasteven
a deplorable accident occurred at the
Briggs mine, fourteen miles from this CITY.
by which Sydney, the 13-year old son OF S.
r. Porter, superintendent of the mine. lost
his life. The parents of the boy had been
entertaining company, and in the evening
a trip was suggested to the mine
The party entered one of the tunnels
being provided with a lantern. The bov,
who was searching for them, made for the
spot from which the rays OF the lantern
reflected, never thinking or not knowing
that a ninety-foot shaft had been opened
between him and the end of the tunnel
Into this he fell headfrst. Thirty-fiye feet
below he struck an ore bucket which had
been drawn part way up the ladder From
this he fell to the bottom of the shaft.
Two miners named Peck and Watkins
who were at work in the shaft gave the
signal to lower the bucket, and sent the
boy to the top. when it was found he was
dead. A scalp wound several inches in
length, and fractured skull exposing the
brain, plainly told the cause of death. No
bones were broken.

PROMISES VERY LIVELY
Some Interesting Developments
Anticipated in Sacramento's
Election.
Republicans Claim a Walkover, but
the Outcome Hard to
Guess.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Nov. 4.-To-mor-
rows election promises to be exceedingly
lively, and if one may judge by the threats
and counter threats that can be heard on
all sides, there may be blood letting and
hard scrapping.
Captain Bradley, it is claimed, has
boasted of 100 men, tried and true, who.
under his leadership, will see that the polls
are fully protected. This does not seem to
meet the appreciation of the residents
| in the downtown wards, and they declare
that il he attempts to invade their pre-
cincts he will depart a sadder and wiser
individual, if he departs at all of his own
volition. The fact that he has circulated
printed slip to-day, containing a
violent attack on J. W. Wilson, the Re-
publican candidate for the Mayoralty, has
not only aroused feeling of indignation
throughout the city against him person
ally, but is said to have reacted against
Hubbard, in whose interest it was profess
edly done.
Steinman's adherents, such as remain
stanch to his interests, are announcing his
chances of election loudly, and are also
distributing circulars containing the de-
claration of c. P. Hunting gton to the effect
that the railroad company will never inter-
fere in politics unless their individual in
terests are attacked.
This is also acting as boomerang, as it
claimed that in one case during the past
year their interest has been attacked by
Stelnman, ana that in consequence Will
son Will receive the vote of the shops.
w. d. Lawton, ct the head of the re-
formed Democracy, is making a noble
hight, but with absolutely no chance of
success. Since a great many prominent
Catholic citizens have declared in
favor OF Wilson, Hubbard's bright
chances are said to be rapidly fading
into gloom, and the claim is made bY
the Republican leaders that all is over but
the shouting and that the ticket will win
as an entirety, with the exception of pos
sibly few minor offices.

FRESK0'S POLICE ROW.
suspensions Ordered of Four Members of
the Force Awaiting Investigation
for Drunkenness.

FRESNO, CAL, Nov. AT meeting of
the City Trustees tonight four policemen
ID. Russell, G. Matheson, P Garfield
and j. f. Barrett were suspended and
ordered to appear at meeting of the
board on Thursday evening, when an in
vestlgation viii be held. Trouble among
policemen has been brewing for several
months and the climax was reached when
Canfeld recently made an assault upon
Anderson in Chinatown while both were
on duty.
1t seems that the trouble is mostly over
petty iealousies. Policemen are appointed
by the City Trustees. In the division of
political rewards in the shape of police
appointments the Trustees have had some
trouble. Tonight matters were brought
TO focus when Trustee Craycroft moved
that Garfield be suspended on the charge
OF drunkenness while on duty.
Trustee Spinney, in retaliation, jumped
up and moved that Russell be suspended
on charges of drunkenness and accepting
bribes. Craycroft then added Matheson's s
name to the list, whereupon Splnney
named Barrett, both being charged with
drunkenness while on duty.
Things were very merry for several
minutes and Trustee Austin wanted to
discharge the whole police force Motions
for suspension until investigation is held
were carried.

HOSTING WORKS

over 100000 having been taken out of
"everybody's mine," as that hill is called.
A popularity of these veins is the fact that
the two footwall veins dip east, the central
vein is nearly perpendicular, while the two
west veins dip west. From this dip the
probability seems to be that they will con-
centrate in depth, probably between the
500 and 700 levels.
The development work in the Cadmus
mine consists of four tunnels, the one on
the footwall ledge being in 800 feet, the
next one sixty-fiye feet, and that on the
ODea, or center ledge, los feet, which is
used as drainage tunnel, a station being
cut in the shaft on it. The other tunnel to
the west is in seventy-fve feet. The shaft
has been sunk sixty feet, and at that point
work was suspended in sinking until
proper machinery could be supplied.
Having established the fact OF the exist
ence OF five parallel veins, site for per-
manent working shaft was chosen about
midway between them, so that they might
De most easily crosscut until depth con-
soldates them, if that theory proves to be
correct. The country rock on the Cadmus

During the past four months from six to
dozen eight-horse and ten-horse teams
could daily be seen hauling their loads OF
merchandise from the wharves. One firm
alone, with yards at four of the towns
north or Sulsun, received over half mil
non feet OF lumber here. and effected
saving OF about $1,000 in transportation,
WhlIe about $4,000 was placed in circula-
tlon by paying it to farmers for teaming.
AS 1t IS impossible TO haul heavy loads
over the roads in parts of Solano County

rates to tins point have caused the people
mere and those living IN the towns above
named TO consider permanent means of
transportation to and from tide water.

the building of an electric railway from

tlons this Is one Of the possibilities of the

the Providence mine, and was selected be-
cause of his special knowledge of the
ground and general capability, and the
work done under his supervision COM
mends the choice.
The Home mine was in a way the parent
OF the Cadmus. 1t was the discoveries and
developments made in this mine that in
duced the purchase of the adjoining
ground. Tom Finley of Grass Valley in
1867 sunk shaft in the bed of Deer Creek
on the Home mine vein, and took out lot
OF rich rock. The creek got on rampage
that winter, as it sometimes does, and the
shaft was obliterated under many feet OF
debris. Spasmodic efforts were made after
ward by different persons at different times
to reopen the mine, but no persistence or
judgment was used until some two and a
half years ago, when Charles Stepp and
A. Getz secured the property, and under
their energetic management, coupled with
good sense in erecting their shaft at an
advantageous point, all difficulties were
overcome, and the mine is in fair way to
become dividend-payingp property in the
not far distant future.
A working shaft was started on the south
