derstand. But the miners understand
it, and they know we'll that beside the
poverty of once prosperous mining
camps the blight that has fallen on the
silver mining industry has indirectly
hurt them by bringing their former al
lies into competition with them in the
merciless struggle for existence.
The argument this journal has all
along made for silver is on the propo-
sition that the question is great
financial one, and should be lifted out
of the narrow local rut of mere in
dustrial question. But even on that
ground it can be shown that every die
tate of industrial policy, every senti-
ment of equal justice, and every sug-
gestion of Self-pTeserNation for the
working miner favorS the rehabilita-
ton of the industry that would restore
prosperity TO these men. Underlying
the veal of all lies this question of
employment. and while this paper has
never put forward the plea that silver
should be renlonetiZed merely to afford
employment 10 miners, yet a little
thought will show to a, fair thinking
man in or out of a newspaper office
that even on the ground of silver being
an industrial question it is a matter of
business. The real reason for favoring
the RECOMMENDATION of silver is because
of its great national Importance as q
financial question, affecting all alike,
whether residents of Maine, Montana
or Texas, but even on their own chosen
field of argument, those who claim that
it is only d local industrial question
must concede that it is one that di-
rectly affects the fortunes of the gold
and silver miner alike.

LAWRENCE'S CASE.

Effects Settlement With the Com
pEainant and is Discharged.
A. T. Lawrence is having more than
a peck of trouble. Thursday afternoon
he cashed check of $40 on John Shea,
the saloon man. There was no money
to his credit in the bank and Law
rences arrest on charge of obtaining
money under false pretences followed.
His brother deposited check of $25
with the desk sergeant for his appear
ance before Judge Wenger. Yesterday
when the case was called, the defend
ant was on hand but it was announced
that a satisfactory settlement with
Shea had been effected and the prose-
cution was not pressed.
Just previous to this, E. o. Riley had
secured judgment against Lawrence
for $3.50 Lawrence had no property,
but Rileys attorneys learned of the $50
bail money and promptly attached the
amount Desk Sergeant Adams svas
served with a copy of the writ. Now
the question has arisen, whether the
money, which in reality belongs to
Lawrence's brother, can be attached.
The police department does not think
it can, and will refuse to recognize the
writ At any rate they will keep the
money until Riley proves he is entitled
to it.

CENTENNIAL-EUREKA DEAL.
The Holders of the Option Fail TO
Come to Time.

The Holders of the Option Fail to
Come to Time.
a few months ago an option was Sc
cured by an eastern mining promoter
on the Observation-Disclosures mine, at
Eureka, the bond calling for 500 a
share, or 100000
Ever since, an anxious and curious
public has been on the tip-toe of eX-
pectation, and hardly a day has gone
by but that inquiry has been made at
the office as to how the deal was pro-
crossing; but the stereotyped answer
has been, We cannot tell you until
the afternoon of July 10.'
Yesterday was the day when the op-
ton expired, and at p. m. ]. E. Bam-
berger, the Yice-president of the COM
pany, said: Gentlemen, I can now
tell you that. on account of the fiuctua-
tons in the money market and the
hard times financially, the gentleman
who had a bond on the Centennial
Eureka mine has been unable to take
up the same, and the deal has keen
declared off. I will also state that I
am well satisfied with the result
Mr.. Chisholm, the secretary and
treasurer of the company, seemed in
different at the elimination Of the af-
falr; but those VINO know him best
state that they believe that he is well
pleased that the title to this bonanza
property will not pass into other hands.
The Centennial-Eureka is one Of the
phenomenally rich mines of Utah, ard
its history is one that every Utonian
can point to with pride.
Although but a comparatively rev
mine, it has already paid in the neigh
borhood of 100000 in dividends, and
in the brief period Of six years the
stock of the company has advanced
from $3.50 to SIS a sha~a.
The regular dividend of the company
is SO cents a share: but there s con-
sternatfon among its stockholders if
it does not pay q, dollar; and its dlvi-
dend is more often 81 d month than S.
The Centennial-BLrekl mine shows
more ore uncovered anu IN sight than
ever before, and developments ois-
close more ore ready to be broken down
than the amount specified in the bond.
The mine is equipped with 4 nlagnii-
cent hoist of the latest style and pat
tern; and it can be said, and truthfully
so, that there is not ricner cr greater
silver and gold producer to be found il
the west
Personally, the people Of this city are
glad that the deal failed to materiaiize,
as the management If the mine has
been honest and efficient. and its con-
tinuance cannot but pr07e satisfao tory
to every interested individual.

AMERICAN BIMETALLIC UNION.

paign of Education"

An Important Factor in the Cam
paign of Education"
The American Bimetallic Union has
been doing very effective work for the
silver cause. and the Bimetallist, its
official organ, published in Chicago, is
ably edited and has large circulation
in the Mississippi valley and is an i'm
portant factor in the campaign of edu
cation 1t has been published for
about ten months and about $4,000
have been disbursed on this account by
the union OF this amount Utah has
furnished over $4,000, which have been
subscribed by few individuals in this
city. More money is needed, and at
once, and it is proposed to raise the
same by. popular subscription, to be
paid monthly. The union has adj
dressed a circular letter to mine SUI
perintendents and foremen, request
ing subscriptions from all employees,
and it is hoped that it will meet with
a cordial reception from all parties in
terested. At this critical period in the
campaign, there should be no faltering
and each man should be willing to
give some substanti expression of
his interest in the cause which is of
such vital interest to this state.
Those inclined, can lend their sub
scriptions to R. c. Chambers, vice
president of the American Bimetailic
union, Salt Lake city, Utah.

The nomination of W. ]. Bryan yes
terday at Chicago on a free silver plat
form should cause a thrill of JOY to
pass through the breasts of every man,
woman and child in the south and
west. 1t should gladden. the hearts Of
every tiller of the soil. and the men
who delve in the mountain Businesses
of this country in their search for the
precious metals.
In Utah. as we'll as in other portions
of the west, the news will be received
with 10y. for il means that every sill
yer mining camp in the state will re-
spond to the clarion call Of the resur-
rection trumpet: that soon there viii
be life and activity where before the
silence of desolation reigned supreme;
and it means that once again the
farmer. the dairyman, the rancher and
the stockman viii find a ready market
in a hundred mining camps in Utah
for their wheat. their -four and pota-
toes, their butter and eggs, their
beeves and muttons, and at good prices
and in cold, hard cash.
When one considers the effect that
this action of the Chicago convention
will have on the old and abandoned
silver mines of Utah. the thought
comes that the country has adopted
new declaration of Independence, that
an era of progression. prosperity and
happiness is at hand; and that ere
long the sound OF the blast and the
noise of the pick will again be heard
in such famous old camps as Silver
Reef. Alta. Big Cottonwood, Ophdr. Dry
Canyon, Stockton. Frisco, Star, Pruess
and Beaver lake; and that in such
wonderful camps as Park City, Bling
ham and Eureka, there will be re-
newed activity in the search for the
white metal. in the prosecution OF
which search and its results, no man
is ever robbed and imperishable rches
are added to the wealth of the world.
There is many an old timer in Utah
who can recollect the day when these
old camps were running full blast;
when the product of the farm com
manded a ready market at good
figures: and he can state, and truth
fully. that never before, or since, have
the people of this state seen such flush
and easy times.
Money is a great civilizer, and the
lack of it degrades and lowers hu-
manity to the level of barbarism.
