Senator Hearst, of California
came from Missouri and began in
the mountains as a day laborer.
He steadily assembled as fore
man, superintendent and owner,
until he became one Of the richest
men in the United States. There
is not mining state nor terri
tory in which he has not owned
and worked mining property. At
one time he had 6,000 men In his
employ IN this country. He at
one time SAID that he had not lost
a dollar in mining for over %
years, and that he would much
rather be in the mines than in
Washington. His wlfe's social
aspirations led him to accept an
official position.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA.

The Westralia mine, which Is
seven miles to the north of Cool
gardie, and which has been pur-
chased by the Hon. William Clarke,
(late Minister Of Justice IN New
South Wales, Is reported to have
struck rich ore, samples of which
have gone as high as ll0 ounces to
the ton, whilst bulk assays also
give remarkable results. Consider
ing that there are reported to be
10000 tons of ore in sight, THE
property promises well. The same
lucky gentleman has picked up an
excellent property in the vicinity
of the recent wonderful find at
Mount Margaret, by which he sets
considerable store, and about which
no doubt, more may be heard later;
but news is meagre now, as he has
been endeavoring to push his way
with horses through dry country to
the Margaret, and has been COM
PEELED to return.
A good deal OF interest has been
created by the fact that large fresh
water lsgoons. containing many
millions of gallons, have been dis
covered in the vicinity of Dundas.
This district being a somewhat dry
one, the End is OF much value.
Some nice rains have fallen about
the Coolgardie gold field. while the

HU BUGISM.

Upon no subject was there ever
so much resort to humbug as by
the goldites on the money question.

that large amount Of BUSINESS Is
done by checks No doabt OF that;
but they do not take the place ot
cash. What value would there be
in check, If the drawer had no
money ia the bank to meet 1t?
The plan Of giving check for a
debt is adopted to avoid the carry
ing of money in the pocket. 1t IS
a convenience merely. II does
not lessen the necessity for money,
and adds nothing TO the volume.
II the debtor is prepared to pay a
demand, he must have the cash IN
his pocket or in the bank.
While checks are freely used IN
cities and towns where there are
banks, in the country they are not
used TO any extent, and the ma
jority Of people live in the country.
When the crash came on two
years ago, the banks of New York
City were compelled to issue $40.

and weight, and yet some of them
would have silver and gold coined

would make a silver dollar nearly
twice as bulky and heavy as the
present one, Is it to be supposed
that they would consider it conven

chageable money value, they pro
pose that high ratio, IN order tc
make the silver dollar worth 9

principle that money value is ar
bitrarlly prescribed by law.
They also talk about confidence

President Jackson in 1906 The
order was made because being Mt a
premium, the silver dollars were
being exported, which caused q
depletion Of our money volume.
II we adopt free silver coinage,
the possessors will have their bull
lion coined as long as It's money
value is greater than its commo l.
lty value. But the two values will
very soon become the same, which
will explode the scarecrow of the
golaites. That silver coinage will
produce a redundant volume of
money. When the two values be-
come equal, the silver dollar will
not be regarded as cheap dollar,
even though its value Ia measured
by the gold standard. There will
then be no huct0atations in the
paices OF silver. It will not then
be known as commodity, any
more than gold is. II the silver
not coined should become Insult
cient TO supply the demand Tor
other than monetary purposes, the
silver dollar will be exported, as it
was before 1905, at it's money value
and even above. II that should
happen, it would add immensely
to the wealth OF this country. To
use silver to the fullest extent as
money in this country will soonor
than anything else force bi metal
lism upon European nations.
