miner to start unless he has about
$4O0 to begin with. A good part of
the first year. he says, will be con-
sumed In reaching the mines and do
ing the preliminary work; the second
year the claim can be well opened up;
the third year usually gives the
promised results. In the earlier years
the companies doing business i'm the
country helped stranded miners to
get away. During the past year,
however, they have given notice that
they will refuse to give any assistance
whatever. AS the rush this year is
greater than ever, it seems Inevitable

their hopes, will be ex posed to star

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June Especial
Telegram.-The newspapers and
politicians who are talking about

doing so without any authority or
sympathy from Reeds friends, but
positive assertions from Reed =
friends that he does not want any
such campaign made in his behalf.
Mr.. Reed is IA candidate for Presi-

the kind of a Republican who needs
to be fiattered to secure his services
i'm the campaign. Ii Mckinley is
nominated Mr.. Reed will support
him as heartily as any other iiepubli-

this talk about placing his name on

to secure the support of all the Reed
men in the country as well az Me-

GROWING.
Free Silver Coinage the Main
Political Issue.
SENATOR JONES' VIEWS.
Thinks the National Democratic Con-
Vention will Endorse the White
Metal.
GROWING.

Just before leaving Washington,
a few days since Senator James K.
Jones gave the Washington Star
his views on the outlook for silver,
in the following interview:
"The Democrats of Arkansas are
overwhelmingly in favor of tree
coinage. The ratio, indeed, is about
sixteen hundred to one. The state
delegation to Chicago will be solid
ly for silver, and immovably so. II
other states favorable to silver dc
as well, the Chicago convention will
register a verdict that will be in
dorsed at the polls in November,
And | look to see that action taken.
Silver has never before been so
strong as it is today, and its friends
have only to 60 to Chicago and re-
main true to themselves to carry
the day. l am not speaking at
haphazard, or indulging in mere en-
thusiasm, when say this, but my
correspondence, which is wide on the
subject, bears me out to the very
letter of the assertion. l am most
sincerely of the opinion that if the
Chicago convention writes a free
silver platform, and puts a true
friend of silver on it as the candi-
date, the Democracy will win"
But it is asserted in the east
that the free silver sentiment is
decreasing, was suggested.
81 know it was" replied Mr..
Jones, "and the very earnestness
and great frequency with which
that assertion is made point to its
unreliability. 1t is not only not de-
creasing, but is increasing, and in
the east no less than in the south
and west. The east may challenge
my statement, but / am speaking
advisedly. | know it to be a fact
that bimetalism-the putting and
keeping of gold and silver on an
honest equality as money of re-
demption in this country-is
growing sentiment in several parts
OF the east, and will make itself
felt at Chicago. This fact, too, is
having its effect in making all the
more stout of heart those Demo-
Gratis in the old silver strongholds
who, now that the supreme move
ment is approaching, are being
urged to stand by silver as never
before. "
But the gold men expect to con-
troll the Chicago convention" was
suggested
"I know that, too" was the
reply. "But all the same they won't.
They are not nearly so numerous or
influential as they appear to be, and
proclaim themselves. Did you ever
hear the story of the man who con-
tracted to deliver two car loads of
trogs2 The cars were run on to a
siding near his pond, and force of
men employed to handle the frogs.
The pond was drained and a dill
gent search made, but only four
frogs could be found. The noise
those four frogs had made misled
the owner of the pond as to their
number. My opinion is that when
those New York bankers drain their
pond IN July they'll find that they
have greatly overestimated the
number of their frogs"
