among those who pretend to be fully

telligence is said to mean more than a
trip to the eastern half of the world
* for health on the part Of Mr.. Dern.
Although there has been considera BILE
said of late in all the papers of the
city aGent a probable deal of the Mer-
59 cur people with European capitalists,
Ia il IS denied at the general offices of the
company, but this denial is taken by
those alluded to, to mean that the

# One mining man said yesterday that
=' he knew there was deal on the taps,
& and that if there not could
be set going in a very short time, as
there were plenty of those who wanted
to do something in the way of accum-
- ulating properly in the Mercur dis
trict, and they were men OF mighty
means, too. He declared that he was
49, acquainted with parties who would be
NJ only too glad to make the owners of
j4 the property from which the camp
5 derives its names, a splendid offer; bet
M ter than anything which has yet
been made. But, as stated until the
1 Nercur people themselves see fit to
S& make public what is going on, there
win be information given to the
&&S2f# public, unless, perhaps some of the
35H other SIDE might construe the situa-
ton as wsrranting a declaration. For
5 the next Two weeks there will be con-
|z Siderable agitation among the mining
men IN this section. If the gold Demo-
Yrats in the east refrain from nomin-
~kefating a man on a gold platform and
the Populists edorse Bryan as seems
very probable at this time, there is
=. 55 II @going to be a whole lot of quiet prep
IA 'aration for developing silver properties
in Utah and throughout the west. AS
s a matter of fact the action of the gold
Democrats VIII not cut much figure
viii the action Of the Populsts.
Should the latter declare for Bryan it
would change the situation very
III materially. At the present time the
concensus Of opinion is that it does not
mote east go. for it is believed here
the south and west, with Illinois and
Indiana are going for the young silver
man and will insure his election
The delegates and others who have
~ just returned from the convention at
Chicago are expressing themselves as
being confident of victory, matter
what reports come from the eastern
press. It is given out that even in
the great state of New York, where
4. the gold men have headquarters, that
A # the silver sentiment is growing and
Increasing every day.
Mr.. john flaming, a farmer who re-
sides at Warsaw, Wyoming county
5s<H New York, was in the city yesterday
en- route TO California, where he is go
&@S$& ing on business, said to a reporter fol-
this paper that while the great papers
of New York City. Buffalo and Albany
- kept back the information from the
people IN this section, that nearly al
the farmers in the central portion o.
the state were going for silver regard
less cf previous party affiliations.
fOur country papers. which you folk
here never see, are talking the matte

conclusion that the gold standard is
