land mine could be bought for 80 or 40
cents. Half dozen such instances as
these, skilfully impressed upon the
visitors here, lend singular impetus
to take hold of some other stock that
is selling for 80 or 40 cents and see if it
also will not have Jack-and- the Bean
Stalk exaltation. And this is why and
how sc many people come to speculate
in stocks whose properties are not even
owe producers as yet, but which offer
prospect of an immense increase in
stock value.
If one were to trade or invest exslu-
sively in dividend stocks the field
would be narrow one. For out of the
$50 companies incorporated in Cripple
Creek thus far less than fifteen yield
a return upon the investment as yet
Indeed, there are in the entire district
only about sixty-one shipping mines,
and of the total output of ore probably
the dividend paying mines send 50 per
cent. This is due to the fact upon
which 1 have already dwelt, that the
actual ore bearing district Of Cripple
Greek covers only very small area
not more than ten square miles at
most-and that outside of this, what
ever may be found in the future, prac-
tically nothing of value has been dis
covered up to this time.
1t is just this fact, namely, that there
is here little district with the radius
of perhaps three miles, in which ore of
wonderful richness has been found
that is likely to prove such pitfall to
eastern investors. To man who does
not understand mining it seems ab-
surd that there should be stretch of
mineralized rock for five or six miles
and that then, while the character of
the rock remains apparently un-
changed, its mineral value should sud
denly disappear.
Here, for example, is dixie, or vein,
ten or twenty feet wide,and apparently
what is called true tissure vein. That
is to say, it is, to put it in my own
way, primeval crack, which, perforce
of this fact, probably extends to detin
ite depths, and for an indefinite length.
Now, along this dixie or vein is found a
peculiar body of ore-as you look at it
with uninstructed eye it looks exactly
like any other-which upon assay
yields fifty or hundred or even sew
eral hundred dollars to the ton. The
existence of this ore body is presump
tive evidence of the existence of others.

MITCHELL NO SILVER MAN.
He Says He Never Was Split in the
Party May Last He Thinks.

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator
John Mitchell said yesterday that the
free coinage of silver at 16 to l with
out the consent of any other nation
is as dead as Pharaoh. He continued;
ITO the question as to whether dem
ocratic senators in favor of the gold
standard and who voted for Bryan
would, should the matter be presented
for legislation, vote with the free
coinage of silver senators on the l6
to proposition, my answer is that |
do not believe they would. Speaking
for myself alone, should oppose any
and all legislation in that direction.
| do not subscribe to the 16 to l doc
trine and never have done so.
AS to whether the democrats Of the
senate will support the Dingley bill OF
any bill that will tend to increase the
revenues of the government and pro-
tect the treasury against an annual
deficit, Mr.. Mitchell expressed the
opinion that the republicans need ex-
pect no help from democratic members
OF the senate in that direction.
1T looks to me- said the senator IN
conclusion, "as though majority OF
those democrats who bolted the CHI
cago platform have gone from the
democratic party permanently. ] can
see nothing in the democratic party,
as it is now organized, to bring them
back again to the party fold i may
be that in time, when new issues arise
and the doctrine of 16 to l becomes
mere memory in the thoughts OF men,
that their democratic instincts VIII
lead them back into the fold. As 70
that, however, the future must de-
termine.

oLNEY's CARE.
The Coumtfy not Committed to the
Principle OF Protectorate.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE sus-
picion in some minds that the Vepe-
Yaelan settlement will not prove as
satisfactory as it now appears is not
warranted The tact of this govern
ment being made a principal in the
arbitration, while Venezuela is not
interested in the commission, IS not to
be Interpreted as the establishment of
policy of protectorate by this country
over the smaller republics of this
continent. The first contention Of
Great Britain was that If the Monroe
doctrine were recognized it would bar
foreign governments from one form OF
redress for grievances for damages In
flicted upon any of the great powers
by these small republics, and that
therefore this government would have
to stand surety for the good conduct
Of the governments whom We protect
In their territory.
Mr.. Olney made it very clear that
this government would rot accept
This reasoning and that we would
confine ourselves to one proposition,
that no foreign power should estab-
lish dominion over territory on this
continent. The Corinto incident
served as an object lesson to show
where we draw the line in the applica-
ton of the Monroe doctrine, the appll-
cation OF this doctrine leaving it open
to the powers to exact any form of
redress for damages save the one OF
cession of territory. This was made
very clear before the agreement ON
arbitration was reached and care was
taken by Mr. olney that action in
this case Should not hereafter be IN
terpreted to mean that We assumed
any responsibility for our sister. re-
publics. In view Of this fact, the
agreement of arbitration between
Great Britain and the United States is
based entirely upon the recognition
OF our right to enforce the Monroe
doctrine. This government is to be
satisfied that Great Britain is not tax
ing possession Of territory by force
which does not belong to her, and II
this fact ii established our part in the
contention will end. 1t will then
make no difference whether Venezuela
/ is satisfied or not, nor will it matter
] hat steps England takes to enforce
! her claims. on the other hand, II
I England cannot make good her
claims, Venezuela will get the benefit
Of our interference il, the matter.

Vote the Fusion Electoral Tickets.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, October 13.-A meeting
Of the Executive committee Of the Peo-
ple's party was held at the Sherman
House to-day All members were pres
emit with the exception of John s. Dore
of California. After hearing reports
from members present, and especially
from Fl. w. Reed of Georgia, who spent
several days with Thomas E. Watson,
the committee decided to issue the
following manifesto:
"TO the Peoples Party Voters Of the
United States;
"Your National committee INDUCED
the hope that the patriotic action Of the
Peoples party in National convention, in
subOrdinating the interests Of party to
the success of the vital Issues involved in
this campaign, would be met by equally
uneelfsh devotion to q common interest
on the part of the Democratic party,
and that all the friends of silver should
present a solid front against the min
ions Of greed by supporting one ticket
the truly CO. operative ticket-Bryan and
Watson. But this hope being dis
appointed, there will be but two courses
left, one Of which must be adopted.
"FiFst, to run straight Bryan and
Watson Electoral ticket in every State
which, on account Of the failure OF the
Democratic party to support this ticket,
would have effected the same result in
this campaign that would have followed
the nomination of a straight Populist
ticket at St. Louis, namely, the election
OF Mckinley and the triumph Of the
gold standard.
ut is true the Democratic party would
be responsible, even 10 greater extent
than ourselves, for such result, but to
permit evil to triumph on such grounds
would convict us as we'll as them of q
lack OF patriotism and narrow partisan
ship that would deservedly forfeit to us
the confidence of the American people.
Remember that two wrongs never
make q right. When our devotion to
the welfare Of the people falters be-
cause Of any failure on the part OF the
Democratic or any other party, then
indeed will we have lowered our stand
ard and proven ourselves false to our
own teachings and repudiated our own
motto of country first and man and
party second.
"The brave enlightened voters who
constitute the rank and file of the Peo-
pies party are incapable Of such base
betrayal Of their country as would re-
suit from division in the ranks Of those
opposing the Vaccinations Of the con-
federated money power Of the two con-
tinents against the homes and liberties
of the American people. Populists
would repudiate any action on the part
Of their leaders opposed to united effort
Rt this time as they repudiate the old
parties for treachery to their interests.
1.-THE other course left open to your
committee that was consistent with
the action Of the convention in nomi-
mating Mr.. Bryan was to do everything
in its power to unite the voters Of the
country against Mckinley, and to over
come the obstacles and embarrass-
ments which, If the Democratic party
had put the cause first and party second,
we would not have encountered.
This could be accomplished only by
arranging for division Of the Electoral
vote in every State possible, securing
50 many Electors for Bryan and Watson

road Ticket on che Ballot,
The Popullst State committee fled q
protest against the "Middle-of-the- Road"
Electors being placed on the ballot. The
case was taken up Saturday by the Sec
retary Of State, Attorney General and
who are constituted a board to
hear such cases. G. G. Clemens sp.
peRred for the Populists and A. B. Quin-
ton, legal adviser of the Republican
appeared for the Steinberger
people. The petitions were taken up
and it was shown by the testimony Of
Mr., Quinton, whom Mr.. Clemens called
as q witness, that large part Of the
Shawnee county petitioners were Repub-
licans. The board threw this petition
out A similar showing and the same
decision was reached with reference to o
sedgwick county list. W. Fl. Story and
j. E. Donivan Of Parsons appeared and
sWore that their names as signed to pc
titions were forgeries. An affidavit was
submitted by Clemens showing that one
Of the Steinberger Electors, A. B. Ken
nedy, had recently declared for McKin-
Icy. Mr.. Clemens could easily have
made a showing against most Of the pc
titioners similar to the above had he had
necessary time for preparation. The
board threw out nearly 300 names, but
did not permit their attempt to appear
to be fair in the matter so to the extent
that the total number of names left was
less than 500, and the ticket was ordered
certified to the County Clerks.
The protest Of steinberger against the
Abilene Electors was taken up. The
correspondents Of all parties
were put on the stand, and it was shown
that what was done at Abilene was done
openly and that the action taken repre-
sented the expressed sentiment Of the
delegates. All testified that there were
but two votes against the Electoral prop
osition. The board after few minutes
deliberation decided that the Abilene
ticket was regular and ordered it certi-
fed.
Mr.. Watson has fled with the Sec
retary of State an affidavit Of withdrawal
from the Abilene ticket. In other words,
he does not want his name over the
named by the Populists Of Kan
Sas. AS he has not withdrawn as Vice
candidate, the State COM
mittee has asked the Supreme court to
issue writ Of msndamus to the Secre-
tary Of State directing him to certify Mr..
Watson's name at the head Of the Peo-
ple's party ticket. The matter will be
heard to-day.
