inch pipe 10 a depth of about 800

feet deep: Mr.. Hart has connected
the two wells and will attach a
pump aud gasoline engine. fitting it
ap SO that the capacity of the two
wells may be more fully tested.
Our planters are just now casting
about for some means of irrigating
their crops where remote from the

a great deal of interest. We see no
reason why the deep well should
not come very generally into use for
this purpose in the near future, as
the expense of the we'll and outfit

Silver blanchard.

The effort is being made to keep
the silver Issue out of State politics.
We do not know if the effort will be
successful nor do we quite under
staud the reasons for such an advo.
cacy. 1t has been charged by the
enemies Of Mr.. Blanchard that be,
cause he advocated the elimination
Of the silver question from State
politics that he was q gold-bug.
This, is of coarse, is a lie out of the
whole cloth. Mr.. Blanchard is for
silver first aud last, and is sterling
representative of the people and has
been faithful as could be and has
ever been ready at all times to
champion the interest Of silver-- the
money Of the people. He HIS never
failed to do his full duty 10 his con-
~stitueuts and he wiz hold their full
confidence unit! the end of time if
he cntiuues to represent his people
so faithfully as he has up to date.
We know of nc, man who is held in
higher esteem by the people, nor n
who holds the public trust reposed
in him more sacred' than Mr. Blan~
cbard. Nothing has ever confronted
him that has not been handled in a
statesmanIiko manner ami 10 a way
that reflects honor upon him and the
people he SO ably represents. We
know Mr.. Blanchard is faithful to

Gold In tn. sewer.

In the trial OF James Heney at Car
son Tuesday the principal evidence
brought out was in relation to sam
pies OF dirt taken out from along the
source OF the sewer running from the
Mint and from the field into which
the seuer emptied. The probability
that much il not all OF the lost gold
had vanished through this source was
arrived at by 1T. Jones attorneys
The Government. by arresting Jones
for completely in the Mint stealings
forced him into the position OF hav-
ing to find the guilty parties or To-
cate the stolen gold. He and his
friends made search in various yards
about Carson, but the only discovery
that was made was on the Picker
premises. Search was then made in
old mines, prospect holes, etc, near
Carson and in the surrounding coun.
try.
In searching Pickler's place gold
was found in the sewer, and this put
the thought into attorney Cot

ELEVEN GOOD REASONS.

Hon. John w. Tomlinson, a prom
inent attorney OF Birmingham, Ala.
tells the New Yorl Mercury why he
favors free coinage Of silver, rs fol
lows:
First = Because the single gold
standard is unfair to the debtor
class.
Second-Because there is not now
a sufficient amount of gold for a cir
culating medium.
Third-Because the parity would
then be maintained naturally instead
OF artiticially, Us Mt present.
Fourth Because the production
of gold is not keeping pace with in.
creasing population and the bust
ness.
Fifth-Because under the single
gold standard gold is comparatively
constantly appreciatlng.
Sixth-Because, like a river fed
from two sources, the circulating
medium would then be less liable to
tluctuation.
Seventh-Because both gold and
silver as primary money, is the consti
tutional money Of the people.
Eighth-Because it would be more
difficult for the gamblers in the mon.
ely centers to corner both gold and
silver.
NInth-Because there would be
two metals rs primary money, so that
the debtor might have the option in
which he would pay.
Tenth-Because now in the trans.
action Of the business OF the world
credit has to be resorted to, which
is conducive OF panics and is too OK.

who own the gilt edge, easily convert.

Eleventh-Because it would hasten

vest i'll new enterprises, and from
bitter past experience they are not
likely for some time to come to Dor
