GRAND VIEW.

Mac" writes from Grand View
TO the De Lamar Nugget as follows:
There are about twenty-five men
placer mining along Snake river in
this vicinity. Some are making
fair wages, few are even doing
better, but all are adding something
to the wealth Of the country.
The rich placer diggings dis
covered near the mouth Of the Bru-
neau by Ross & Shannon, last
September, continue to yield the
owners handsome income. They
are using power for raising the
water, have hired more help and
are using an extra team, thereby
enabling them to work to much
better advantage. Adjoining this
mine there is another claim equally
as good, owned by BRIGGS, Cooper,
Stein & Sons.
About a mile further up the
river, v. A. Wilson has few men
helping work a promising mine. In
passing here yesterday Mr.. Wilson
showed your reporter four valuable
buttons, the result of 8 or 10 days
washing
Mr.. Geo. p Hall, Min. Home;
forwarded 200 lbs of gravel from
those three mines to parties in St.
Louis, who are very likely to be-
come interested enough to send
representative out here.
Mr.. Moore, an expert, was out
here few weeks ago, in behalf of
Chicago capitalists, to examine
mining property between Grand
View and Shoe Fly Creek, and from
letter recently shown the writer
by an interested party, it is almost
certain that a Chicago company
will soon possess several valuable
mining properties located here.
The rivers are going to be low
and ranchers along the creeks will
experience a scarcity of water the
coming summer.

there is one thing you cannot do.
You cannot make success in life
unless you work. Older men than
you have tried and failed. You
cannot loaf around the street cor
ners, smoke, tell stories, drink and
sponge on some one else without
making failure in life. You must
learn a trade or get in some honest
business. If you don't you will be-
come a chronic loafer and there is
no place in the world for loafers.
The ripe fruit is at the top of the
tree, and you must climb if you get
it. Some smart man will pluck il
from you. Do something, no mat.
ter how small, or how low wages; it
will be a starter Help yourself
and others will help you. There
is no royal gate to success; will, grit
and endurance are the qualities
which lead to it.

TO FRANK MERRITT.

In its eagerness to Islander some
one and injure Mountain Home and
vicinity abroad, the Gilmore Repub-
licah last week did F. w Merritt
great injustice by hastily copying
from the Chicago Dispatch state
ment relating to the arrest of Mr..
Merritt for an alleged fraudulent
transaction in connection with the
sale of some placer mining ground
situated near Grand View. A gen.
tleman of this place, who is familiar
with this transaction and posted on
the result of the prosecution of Mr..
Merritt, has furnished us with the
following particulars
The complaint read that Merritt had
fraudulently obtained five hundred dol
lars from the "Grand View Gold Placer
Mining Co." The facts were. Merritt
sold the Company one eighth of the
ground in the Duluth Bars" for 1900
dollars, and the Company paid him
500 dollars and wac TO pay the balance
as soon as the Company received the
ground. They made arrangements to
take the whole of the ground repre-
sented in a certain deal on Snake river
in the spring of 1895, of which the
"Duluths" formed part. They sent
their expert out here to examine the
ground. His report was favorable, and
parties went east to sign contracts
with the Grand View Gold Placer Min
ing Co. Contracts were signed by
parties representing the ground and
the Grand View Gold Placer Mining
Co. by II. p. Rucker, president, and
A. Leonard Lundgren, secretary under
the corporate seal, Chicago, H., May
u, 1895. The first payment was to
be made at once as soon as title had
been passed upon and pronounced
valid by the Capital State Bank of
Boise City, Idaho, which title was
passed upon as stated, and the Grand
View Gold Placer Mining Co. never
paid cent. The last payment was to
be made on or before October l, 1895.
In December, 1895, the president OF
said company was notified by S. G.
Rhoades, attorney in fact for parties
owning part of the ground, that he
considered their contracts null and
void and should stand by the agree
ment no longer. Then Lundgren com
menced the suit Merritt was arrested,
taken into court and as soon as the
facts of the case were understood the
Court immediately dismissed the case,
informing the plaintiffs that they had
no cause for action. And thus ended
this great Merritt swindle."
The Chicago Dispatch, from which
the Gilmore Republican copies the
merritt swindie, is a paper Of unen-
viable reputation. Joseph Dunlap, its
editor, is now under sentence for two
years in the penitentiary and heavy
fine for publishing obscene matter and
sending the same through the mails.
The case is now before the U. S. Su
preme Court for new trial on tech
nicalities. The prosecution Of him for
this offense was brought about by
leading citizens of Chicago whom he
had attempted to blackmail on ac-
count Of indiscretions committed by
their children

Nomination of State Senator.

Because of the redistricting act
which forms Grant and Iowa counties
into the 10th senate district, politi-
clans are puzzled to find satisfac-
tory method Of calling a convention,
and To decide who has the authority
to call it. There are three PROPOSE
tions as to how the convention shall
be constituted.
The first is that representation
shall be by assembly districts, the
same rs in state convention.
The second, that it shall be by
counties, one delegate for each leo
republican votes polled at the cleo
ton in 1894
The third, that town representa-
tion be adopted, with one delegate
FOX eaen loo republican votes Or
major fraction east III the town or
city, provided that each town and
ward shall have Mt least one dele
gate.
We incline to prefer the town
plan first. and the assembly district
second, but, however the convention
may be called and whenever and
wherever the convention is held
Iowa county representatives therein
should avoid ENHANCEMENT in the
Grant county differences, by present.

What the People Want.

To my mind, the people want the
tariff laws adjusted in the interest
and defence of American industries
far more than they do any remodel
ing of our financial system. There
is no recorded test of popular opin-
ion that does not demonstrate a
widespread desire to put the govern
ment where it can pay its debts
without constantly having to resort
to borrowing. The wage earners of
the country make the same demand
for themselves. They want to get
out Of debt For three years they
have been living from hand to
mouth on half work and half pay.
The first demand they make on the
republican party in this campaign
is to pledge itself before all other
things to the restoration of a tariff
law that will bring with it restora-
ton of good times. With this pledge
as first resolution upon the roll of
republican pledges, the candidates
can go into at least thirty-fiye Of
the states of the union and poll a
majority of votes therein.-Henry l.,

Editor Tribune Would you be so
kind as to state in your paper what
effect the free coinage of silver would
have on the income of any body that
had stated income, or for instance
on t. ). pensioner. Could he, in
your opinion, purchase as much for
one dollar under free coinage as he
now can under the present financial
standard. A PENsIoNER.
There seems little room to doubt
that pensioners and other persons
having fixed incomes will be losers
by the establis ament of free silver
coinage unless those incomes are in
creased. Even advocates of silver
admit that prices of commodities
will generally advance if they are
successful, that one dollar viii buy
less goods than now. OF course there
might be no change in the price of
something's beer for instance would
probably continue to be five cents
glass.

THIS cutting of rates, this viola
tion of our interstate commerce law,
this invasion of our trade should be
stopped, and we can do it; We have
the remedy in our hands. All we
have to do is simply to discontinue
the bonding privilege, under which
they carry goods in bond, starting
from Vancouver, to Europe and
points in the United States. | would
suggest that we stop every car and
break every consular seal Mt our
frontiers beyond Chicago and the

from Asia to San Francisco and pass
1t over the Pacific railroad lines. 1t

A Clean, Worthy Man.

Although the contest for first
honors in the republican state con-
yention last week was one Of the
most spirited and stubborn in the
history Of the party, no more gener-
ally acceptable and worthy man was
ever nominated for governor than
the one ut the head Of our ticket for
1896. Through all the strife for
supremacy, not an unkind word was
uttered or the slightest animosity
manifested toward Major Scofleld
The most devoted and Jealous sup
porters of other aspirants had only
good to say Of him, all agreeing that
he was clean and worthy, and that
If nominated he would have their
loyal support at the polls. II Is the
writers good torture to know him
from associations in Grand Army
circles, and can most heartily and
confidently commend him as deserv-
ing of every republican vote in the
state. When the ballot box closes
in Iowa county on election day we
hope to find that Major Scofleld Is
not behind any other candidate on
the state ticket, us none thereon is
entitled to more consideration or
public confidence than Is he.
The republican nominee for gov
ernor is Il plain, unassumng man.
His home Is in 0conto, lie is a
successful lumberman Of twenty
-four years experience. He has held
places Of trust in Oconto county and
has represented that district in the
state senate for four years. In 1892
he was buneoed out of his election
: by the democrats after running way
ahead Of his ticket.
Major Scotield was born in 1912, ut
Clearileld, Pa. a farmer'3 boy, he
went TO the city and became a print
or, working six years at the case.
When 10 years old he enlisted in the
Eleventh Pennsylvania reserves,
serving IN the early battles Of the
war. He was IN tie army on the
Potomac and was promoted from a
private to 4 captaincy for bravery
In 1864 he was left for dead on the
battlefield and sent to n southern
prison. He remained here ten
months and was only patroled il
time to save his life. On his return
north he was hreveted major. In
1865 he came west and settled IN
Oconto, first rs an engineer and later
going into tho lumber business. Ii
1890 he formed the Scofield-Arnold
Lumber company. The company
employees 80 men the year around
and turns out 30,0o0,Oo0 feet of lum.
Der year.
In 1870 he was married to Miss
Agnes Potter. Two sons, the young.

their family, a daughter having died
