course, in the old quarter as well as In
that which was actually held by our
troops. We were short-handed, with
hardly men enough to man the angles
Of the building and to serve the guns.
1t was impossible for us, therefore, to

Quartz Min for Willow Creek.

The Boise Iron & Reduction Works
have secured contract for building a
complete five stamp Gold quartz mill
for Messrs. Bishoprick & Howard, to be
erected upon their mine at Willow
Creek. The stamps are to weigh seven
hundred pounds each, and the mill will
be equipped with all the latest inn
provements.
The Democrat takes pleasure in an
nouncing this fact, because it has long
because it has long been the desire of
Capt. James Baxter, the manager and
lessee, to construct new mill, and thus
enable him to show the mining public
that just as good machinery can be
turned out in Boise as can be done in
Denver, Chicago or elsewhere. From
personal knowledge of the men whose
services the captain has secured, we feel
confident the workmanship and mater
ial employed in this mill will be first
Gloss in every respect.
It's the desire OF Capt. Baxter to be
able to point to it as an advertisement
of what Boise can do in the way of
building new machinery; and to do this
he will he sure to allow nothing to en-
ter into its construction that is not Of
the best.
There is nojustioe to our infant in
dustries where machinery or any other
work is required, to send off east for it
without inquiring whether the same
could be made here or even learning
the shops capable of doing it
exists at home.

at Chautauqua. This is probably the
first time that Mass has been celebrated
on the shores of Chatauqua lake, out
side of an ordained church, since its
discovery by Capt. Louis Celeron. Evil
dence is not wanting to show that Mass
was said every day by the chaplain of
Celoron's expedition, and as the expe-
dition remained several days at Chaut-
aubua, this sacred service was oft re-
peated.
DR.. Vincent does not despair of secur-
ing the services of Rabbi, who willof-
fer the orthodox Jews the consolation
of their religion. This is long step in
the right direction, and we hope to see
a wholesome extension of the Chau-
tauqua movement, which we interpret
as meaning freedom to worship God af-
ter the dictates of ones conscience.

Silver Sayings.

All sorts of misrepresentation, togeth-
er with the power of money and official
patronage, are being used to place this
country permanently on the gold stand
ard.
have lately seen an absurd state
ment that if the minis here are opened
to silver we will be flooded with 1000
100000 in silver from India, $720, 000,-
900 from China, 90,OOO,OOO from Japan
and from Spain, Mexico and the straits
100000, 900.
This statement is made in the face of
the established fact that the east is the
grave of silver, and while the demand
continues from year to year no silver
ever comes back from these countries.
England is now yainly attempting to
force the gold standard on India by the
bayonet, and the best fnanciers regard
the effort as desperate.
1t may as well be understood at once
that all this claptrap and misssatement
will not divert majority of the people
from stern and unyielding opposition to
the single gold standard. 1t is the old
fght-old as our race-between the
masses and those who attempt to use
governmental power for self aggrandize-
Vest.

The world moves and the people keep

arrangement with Archbishop Ryan,
brought about by Bishop Vincent, act
ing in behalf of the Catholic people who
go to Chautanqua every year 10 the ser
