Every man Of an observant turn
of mind must be impressed with
the serious condition of affairs
confronting the country. The
most apparent fact is that the
country is aroused upon the money
question. The masses of the peo-
pie are awake to the fact that a
great battle is to be fought upon
the financial ground, and that the
lines of conflict are being sharply
drawn. There is great similar
ity between the conditions of to-
day and those of 1860 in the de-
finiteness of the issue and the
acquaintance of the people with
it. They are thoroughly cogni-
zant of the Importance of the
money question and are aware OF
the power they possess to settle it.

NOONII cILV EIN LEAGUE.
Declaration of Principles Of the
Idaho County Silver League,
Organized June ~, 1896,
Mt Grangeville, Idaho.

w are firmly convinced that the
financial policy is the real issue
before the people in the coming
campaign, and that we are now
confronted with crisis in the af-
fairs of the nation when party ties
and the affiliations of the past must
yield to principles and to the asso-
citation of all patriotic American
citizens upon the vital living issues
of 1896.
The question the people of the
United States will be called upon
to decide by their ballots in No
yember next is: Shall the people
control the money of this nation,
or shall the money control the peo-
pie. The free coinage of silver,
while not the only reform involved
in this campaign, is a principle OF
paramount Importance, and upon
this the issue has been formed and
upon these lines the battle will be
fought.
In this campaign there can be
but two sides one is the side OF
the money power, the other is the
side of the people.
Upon these considerations we
have associated ourselves for the
purpose of directing our united Of
forts in support of the demand OF
the people for the free and unlimi-
ted coinage of silver at the ratio OF
sixteen to one.
In this great conflict there can
be no compromise, there can be no
neutrals; those that are not for us
are against us. The time has ar
rived when We cannot feed the en-
envy with one hand and fight him
with the other. The taxpayers
money, whether in county, State,
or national atiairs, must not be
permitted to find its way into the
pockets of officials who are the
tools of the money power, nor can
We support with our ballots moral
towards who dare not come out in
the open and fight in the army oil
the people.
We therefore pledge our sacred
honor as men that we will support
no party, nor the candidates Of
any party that does not in it's ma.
tional platform declare unqualified
y for the free and unlimited coin.
age Of silver at the ratio Of sixteen
to one, and that We will support
no man for any Office whatsoever,
from constable to presidential
elector, who does not openly de.
clare and work for tho principles
above set forth.
For the promotion of the objects
herein declared, we invite the CO
operation of all citizens of Idaho
county irrespective of pre-; ious
party affiliations who are opposed
to the rule Of gold monometalists,
the common enemy of all honest
industry and of all honest people

An important deal has been
consumated in the Florence camp.
A group of nine claims, which in
cludes the Gold Bug, Golconda,
Little Chief, the property of Cone
and Wells, and the Banner and
Esmerelda, which belong to r. S.
Mclean, have been bonded to S. S.
Glidden and Frank CulbertsOn two
well known mining men of Spo-
kane. The group of mines bonded
are considered the best yet de-
veloped in that section, and have
considerable work done on them,
the lodges showing a fine grade of
ore. The Gold Bug mine has a
tunnel driven about 500 feet. The
Banner mine has a tunnel of 100
feet in length, the distance be-
tween walls being IA feet, with
two lodges that will average three
feet. From a run of ore taken to
the mill from the Banner mine
excellent results were obtained.
Two shifts of men are working on
the Gold Bug and Banner mines,
and the company intend to do con-
siderable work before a mill will
be decided upon, in order to be
able to determine upon what sized
stamp will be necessary to sue
cessfully manage the output. The
camp is suffering from the back
ward spring, there being about
two and half feet of snow there
last Tuesday.
MIR. GLIDDEN CONFIRMS 1T.
s. S. Glidden was asked last
night about the above and con-
frmed the deal in all it's par
ticulars. He said that Mr.. Gull
bertson and himself had a man in
the Florence district all winter
looking at the properties and the
purchasers are satisfied that the
mines will be large producers in
the near future. Assays from the
Gold Bug, said Mr.. Glidden, re
turned IL ounces of gold and Il
ounces of silver to the ton. The
Banner ore gave 2 ounces of gold
and result of s5S to the ton, mill
