STATE LINE DISTRICT

What Mining Man of some Pronli-
hence and Experience Thinks of IL
The following from the Salt Lake
Herald shows Mr.. j. K. Cark's opin-
ion of State Line District, which place
he visited on his way cut from Phoebe
last week, says the Record:
Mr.. Clark visited the new Line dis
trict in ives srn Iron county, on his
return trip, and says that this now dis
covery promises t. develop into a
grsat wealth producer, although but
little work has been do, as yet.
The Line district is fifteen miles
northwest Of esert Springs and sew
onty miles southwest of Milford. The
groupings i'll the district are very large
and we'll defined and in soms in
stances are all # 100 feet in width.
On tho Utah Spur lode the vein car
ries small strlngsrs of ore of from
three to four inches wide, that goes
as high az 2,O00 and 5000 ounces in
silv, r to the ton, besides carrying from
30 to S25 in gold. The ore is a black
sulphuretts, and can be easily treated.
The Ophir mine shows from three to
four feet of ore on the sarface of tho
hanging wall that averages 100 to 800
ounces in silver and also gives good
returns in gold, but, as the ledge has
not been tested by cross-cutting, the
extent of the orc body has not been
fully tested as yet.
Mr.. Clark says, that in his opinion,
the formation is assure in porphyry
which is one of the best mineraliz-
tons known, and he believes that the
deposits are permanent
A tCwnsite has been laid out in a
little valley below tho Utah Spur mine
and it is expected in time, as the dis
trict becomes more fully developed,
quite camp will spring up there
The district is we'll supplied with
water, as springs abound, and wood is
plentiful.

The law of supply and demand do

The law of supply and demand de-
termines price. The cd school of
economists considered this law as con-
sisting OF only two factors, the product
and the need for the product assum-
ing that where the need for the pro-
duct existed the ability to obtain it
also existed. The later economists
have discovered that the law ofsupply
and demand consists of three factors.
and that the third is the controlling
factor in fixing price. viz: the product,
which is the supply-the need for tho
product, which is simply ineffective
demand-and the ability to purchase
the product, or money, which trans
forms Ineffective into effective demand
Without the ability to purchase the
supply there is no etfectivs demand,
though there may be never so great
need. -National Bimetalist.

At this time one railroad was In OPP
Grafton, with others in process of con-
struction. Now their railway system
compares favorably with those of the
European powers.
In 1870 a national mint was estab-
lished at Osaka, the machinery being
imported from England. In this year
they issued their first coin made in
their own minis. Heretofore it had
been coined in other countries, but
used as national coin.
The Japanese came from a mongrel
Tartar source, and their origin dates
far back into antiquity. The national
religion Is Buddhism, but sanction was
given to the worship in the old faith,
Sin Fin, or Faith in Gods.
The Chinese have historical legends
that antedate the flood mentioned in
the Bible, and have a history that
reaches back farther than any other ma
ton now in existence.
The wonders of the Empire caused
the discovery of this continent, for
Columbus had in his mind as much the
discovery of a short route to Cathay,
IS he had the desire to prove the cor
was round.
If it had not been for his vivid and
glowing descriptions of the riches and
marvels Of this country, Isabella and
Ferdinand probably never would have
listened to his pleadings, ard have sup
piled him with vessels, and men. and
money to make the trial.
Later a famous traveller, Sir John
De Vaudeville, returned home with
glowing accounts of the country, and
with strange tales of the queer people
inhabiting it.
Their first porcelain furnace was set
up in the seventh century in the prov
ince of Kiangsi, but the celebrated
furnaces of KNIT Chin were not es-
tablished until almost two hundred
years later.
They now have over five hundred
porcelain furnaces in operation, which
supply nearly the whole world in porce-
lain ware. In the natter Of baking the
porcelain, no other country has eve
excelled them, one single piece passing
through forty hands before it is deemed
finished.
The date OF the origin Of the manu-
facture Of silk in China is lost in the
mists Of remote antiquity. From the
Chinese the Persians acquired the art;
from the Persians the Greeks learned
it, while it is not known whether the
Romans had it from the Greeks or
through some intercourse their sea cap
tains had with the Chinese themselves.
Thei excel in the manufacture OF
damasks and lowered satins and in
their simple hand looms can reproduce
the most intricate of French and Eng
lish patterns. China Crepe has never
been Initiated successfully.
In the tenth century they had in
vented printing machines and were
proficient in the manufacture of the
finest paper.
Their most elaborate works are the
Imperial Canal and the Great Wall.
The latter was built about 200 B. G.
and extends west from Pekin along the
entire northern frontier for a distance

Inc people must win, for if they lose,
the cause Of the people-free silver
Will be retarded for years.
Nominate, regardless of party, an
honest- man. One who will boldly and
at all times support free silver, and
after nominating, elect him, and he
cause is won.
BeWare Of bankers! They are false
prophets and nine-tenths Of them are
auxlllaries of the gold bugs In London.
they are gold bugs themselves for
purely mercenary reasons. With gold
mono-metallism they can retain their
high rates of interest.
what does it matter to them that
you lose your farm or your home; that
the laborers On railways, in fields or In
factories, have to work for a few cents
a day to compete with the cheap la
Dor or China and Japan-they get their
interest just the same.
Every one that can read should study
the financial question and prepare him
SELF to cast his vote for an honest, true
man, who will at all times and in all
places work for the good of the coun-
try D the good of the people.
What little gold there is is controlled
by, comparatively, a very few men, or
locked up in vaults by the hundreds of
millions.
At the beginning Of the Christian era
the Roman Empire had 1900, DOC, 900 Of
metallic money. At the end of the if
teenth century they had less than
$2OO, 900 900. India and China then
were in the height of their glory and
splendor and the inference is that much
OF the money that disappeared found it's
way into the Golfers of the wealthy In
dian and Chinese nabobs.
In these countries gold was needed.
for the Chinese, at this time were build
ing the Imperial Canal, and in India
gorgeous and mag nihcent temples were
being constructed.
Are we going to follow this example?
Are we going to furnish money, depre-
ciated in u own country, but to other
nations worth it's own value, that they
may beautify and make rich their own
lands while paupering us?
At this time the Roman Empire must
have had men who we'll might have
been named Sherman. Carlisle and
Cleveland, who acted as emissaries to
India and China and made the Roman
masses believe that silver was worth
less AND so demonetized it.
The monied people of India and
China at that time, probably, were as
ready to buy it at fifty cents on the
dollar as their descendants are ready
to buy it OF us, and we are not sure
that they ven paid that much.
But, however, they lost their mon
ey, their trade, their power; for when
a nation or individual loses money,
credit goes with it and with the credit
goes trade and power.
To this loss Of money and power may
be accredited their decline in civiliza-
fon, their decrease in population and
commerce and the disappearance of
their freedom. History records moth
ing tc show the cause of this deplorable

of over 1900 miles, over rivers and
across mountains and plains. 1t was
from Is to 80 feet in height, and Is
feet at the base, while the top was Is
feet in breadth, or wide enough for
six men to ride horse back abreast.
The Imperial Canal is one Of the
greatest works of its kind in the world
and flows from Pekin to Canton, a
distance of 1000 miles. This great
work was constructed in the thirteenth
century and runs through a most fer
tile country, where every variety of
vegetable life may be grown on account
of the diversified climate.
Thus, centuries before we became a
nation, China had progressed in art
and manufacture, and although they
have been isolated to a great extent
from the rest of the world. thereby
being unable to profit by the develop
ments Of civilization, with the .Japa-
nese to teach and aid them, they will
be able soon to mako anything that can
be manufactured in any other place in
the world.
They produce the raw material in
their own land and sell the m%anufact-
ured article for gold in a gold standard
country.
I have thus briefly outlined the
present condition of China, simply to
direct your attention to what we may
expect in the near future, when the
we'll paid labor Of America will be
brought into direct competition with
the pauper labor of China and japan.
There is only one logical conclusion
to come to if u legislators do not
take some active steps towards pre-
venting such competition-the wages
of American labor will drop.
The gold bugs have always beer VIC
torious.
You ask, 'Why?" Because the
masses do not understand the financial
question:" This is true only in part.
The main reason is that the gold bugs
have bought both judge and jury. Is
it any wonder that they are awarded
the verdict?
Three-fourths of the people OF the
United States are in favor of free coin
age on a basis Of Is to / and have cast
their votes to that effect, electing on a
silver platform men who, when elect
ed. repudiated their promises and de-
ceived the people, supporting gold bug
theories regardless of the suffering and
misery their actions brought upon the
people who elected them.
The time has come when the masses
must make the great effort Of their
lives to gain recognition. In the cleo
tons Of 1896, the silver question will
be the axis upon which all others re-
volve; SO prepare to make the fight Of
your lives. Cast aside all party afilia-
tions. If you cannot get an honest
man nominated in your own party, vote
for any honest man, regardless of par
ty, bit be sure that he is honest.
Remember that the gold-bugs are
preparing for the greatest fight they
have ever had; they realize their
jeopardy and that the people have be-
come determined to be heard and SO
are making strenuous efforts to pro-
vide against defeat.
This is not a political fight. It is a
battle with the pluotcrats Of London

STRUGGLES OF GENIUS.
40 eadents In the Editors Experience
Simplicity of Greatness.

Accidents In the Editors Experience
Simplicity of Greatness.
The praises of the robust indepen-
dence of genius look well in print and
roll nicely from the tongue; but the
genius must yoke himself with caution
and wear the bride of hypocrisy unless
he have the courage to father a deac
mute and starve with it.
1t is true that ''Thanatopsis" first
tried it's wings in the consecrated at
mosphere of a standard magazine"
but "Thanatopsis" was only a fiedge-
ling at the time. The wings were there,
but not the broad pinions upon which
that poem scared into immortality.
Accidents are not to be escaped, but
that particular magazine long since
closed the door upon the possibility of
another such accident. The history
of periodical literature affords so few
like instances that this may not enter
seriously into the question.
To say that this is designedly so is
unfair. The editor is a man of business.
and he says he is the best friend of bud
ding genius. That he is unable, until
the bud has been pretty well developed
by the careful hoeing and watering of
some one else, to decide whether it is
going to be Chinese lily or pansy;
that he cannot always tell the scream
of the eagle from the cluck of a
Brahma hen, or a winged cupid from a
furniture van, is not his fault, but
the misfortune of his readers. The
sun is not the only luminary capable
I of dazzling the eye.
There is something about a great
poem or story-it may be it's simplicity,
it's directness, it's want of "style"-that
seems to place it beyond the range of
the ''educated'' taste. Water is fat and
insipid after long indulgence in wine;
course in grand opera does not al
ways enhance appreciation of the sim
pie music and sentiment of the ballad;
humor is dulled by contrast with the
| keen point of wit; the mind Keyed up
to the tension of the psychological puz-
| Zle and rhythmical contortiou is not in
the best condition to recognize the
beauties of the great simple truths Of
life and death.-New Bohemian.

The Intended Compliment.

In an old-fashioned home of New Or
leans there was company at dinner, and
the ladies were discussing the woman
question. A gentleman present, after
hearing all the pros and cons, facetious-
ly remarked that two preachers were
discussing the same problem, recently,
in his hearing, and they both agreed
that it portended evil, and that women
were responsible for most of the evil in
the world-in fact, that women were
worse than men," One of the ladies
Indignantly retorted: Indeed they
are not; women are the salt of the
earth" Oats so, honey" put in old
Aunt Susan from the kitchen; "dat's dc
Bible truf, for shore. Women is de salt
OBJ de earth. Just think oh Lots wife"
And everybody laughed at the sudden
and unexpected application of the old
Bible story.-N. o. Picayune.

"How should tell, not knowing him
like to thee?"
May, I am called Time, but he In
called Safety" answered the other.
The man frowned.
"Your brother does not abide here
abouts," he said.
"Methought saw him wander hither
but while SINCE" mumbled the old
man. One with whom he hath enmity
dwelleth here, and doubtless he hath
come to seek him."
"And whom may that be?" inquired
the man.
Men calf him Love-" said Time, and
his dry laugh ratified in his throat.
'Satiety killeth Love when he gets en-
trance to where he abideth, and l bury
the slain"
"And how doth he get entrance? p
asked the man, thinking backward.
"By many ways" answered the Sage,
leaning for moment upon his scythe.
sometimes through the eyes of a
jealous woman, for she is WEAKNESS
unto the soul of man; sometimes
through the foolish eyes of a man who,
seeing much beauty, becometh blind to
it; and oftenest through the heart Of
her who is faithful, but protesteth her
love too greatly, for the great love of
woman is also a WEAKNESS unto the
soul of man."
And the graybeard gazed piercingly
upon the man, then, cackling in shrill
laughter, he went on his way.
Then hurriedly the man sought the
woman, but he found the house empty
and her maidens running about in
search of her. And she was nowhere to
be found. When last seen, they told
him, she was talking to a stranger
who lately had lurked about the gates;
a creature of vast stature, with weary
eyes, and a giant frame, upon whose
brow was writ the sign: Safety"
Then the man, clapping his hand to
his head, fell upon the ground, crying
out that she had found the curse, not
he; that she had slain Love, not he;
that she was false, not he.
"Get up, fool" quoth a graybeard
in the crowd about, touching the strick-
en- man contemptuously with his foot,
