willD,ln j. Bryan.

Although the election went against
him, the fame of William J. Bryan will
be secure. When all the passions OF
this campaign shall have passed, men
will pick up the story of it with Won
der and admiration for the man who,
as the evangel Of the workers and of
the producers of this country, started
out, almost single handed, to fight the
combined wealth and influence of the
country, and made such fight as new
or was dreamed of before in the history
of camp igns. Scofe1 at, sneered at.
ieered at, he went everywhere and in
every place, with splendid confidence
waged the fight; talking to the people,
shaking hands with the people; making
ten to dozen or twenty speeches
day, and retaining all his confidence,
ali his radient hope to the last. He
has gone but was a triumph after all.

Grants, which tells the story of Grants

1t seems almost q paradox TO assume
that low grade mines are better invest
ments than nigh grade mines, yet the
facts will bear out the assumption.
Looking over the LIST Of dividend paying
mines in Utah, there are but two that
can be properly classed as high grade
mines, the Centennial Eureka and the
Mammoth, and the latter belongs more
properly in the low grade class. Twelve
of the dividend payers are mines, the
average value Of whose ores is less than
51o0 per ton and many of these depend
on ores OF a value below $40 to meet
the dividends. As a rule, the high
grade mines are specimen mines and
the low grade mines pay the dividends.
The Ontario ores have always been low
grade, but it has paid over thirteen
millions in dividends. Bingham is and
always has been "a low grade camp, but
has deserved her title Of the Old Reli
able, and it is a curious fact that not
one Of the few high grade mines that
have been discovered there are now
producing. Tintic never fourished
during the wire silver period, but as
soon as her low grade ores were no
ticed she commenced to grow. The
Horn Silver, with over five millions in
dividends, to her credit, became a fin
ancial wreck when horn silver was
frequent occurrence in the mine. Now
the average values OF the ores are less
than SIC per ton. The logical dedue
ton is that the low grade mines are
surer of returns than their high grade,
glittering sisters.-Inter-M Mountain Min

How Cold Was Deposited.

An exhibition of the greatest interest
to mineralogists and practical miners
in. relation to the much argued ques-
ton as to how gold was originally de-
posted in auriferous quartz is report
ed from the Imperial Institute at Ed
inburgh, Scotland, says the Electrical
age. j. c. johnson, of Adelaide, Aus
tralia, who has given great attention to
the subject, exhibited specimens of
non -gold-bearing stones in which he
has artifcially introduced gold in in
terstices and on the face in such a
manner as to defy detection, even by
skilled experts. Some of these speci-
mems were shown privately to several
distinguished geologists, who expressed
great surprise at the remarkable char
acter of the exhibition. The discovery
some years ago, that gold could be in
duced to deposit from it's mineral salt
to the metallic state on any suitable
base. like iron sulphide, led Mr.. John
son to experiment with various salts Of
gold, and by which he has produced
most natural looking specimens of au-
riferous quartz from stone which, from
previous assay, contained no trace OF
gold. Moreover, the gold, which pene-
trates the stone in such a thorough
manner, assumes some of the more
natural forms. In one specimen shown,
the gold not only appears on the sur
face, but penetrates each Of the lamin-
ations, as was proved by breaking.
While this knowledge of how gold was
probably deposited may help to sug-
gesb how it may be economically ex-
tracted, the thought also occurs what
power for harm it would be in unsrcup-
ulous hands, for fraudulent Sailing"

A FRENCH SCANDAL,

Paris, Jan. 14.-The police continue

which is considering the matter. This
may explain the reported purchase of
Delagoa bay from Portugal by the
government of Great Britain.
The war feeling against Germany has
greatly subsided and the issues of the
trouble are freely described as rebuff
for Emperor William, inasmuch as the
German newspapers have changed their
tone and the papers printing what were
regarded as inspired articles and which
at first threatened Great Britain, are
now distinctly climbing down.
Another feature of the situation is the
feeling that France. although she would
perhaps like to see Great Britain seri-
ously injured, would never allow Ger
many to win, but would seek a preteXt,
while Germany was crippled, to secure
revenge for 1S70-71.

which an Anglo-German alliance would
have on the commerce of the two powers,

be deprived of Z per cent of her foreign
commerce, Germany would lose IL IL.

According to the Westminster Ga

the insurgent columns now in this
vicinity were to retreat westward in a
body, drawing after them all the Spanish
troops possible, the insurgent forces
would thus be able to operate, judging
from their previous tactics, in very
not seem possible to deny that the insur-
rection is increasing in Importance every
day. Practically the whole interior of
the island from east to west, with the
exception of the large towns, is in pos
session of the insurgents, who have
burned everything combustible and have
levied tribute right and left under the
very noses of the Spanish commanders,
and cutting down the revenue of the
about so per cent, according to the in
surgent estimates.
Under these conditions it is not
astonishing that some change in the
commandership of the Spanish forces is
expected daily. Even the most intimate
friends of General Campos do not claim
that he has been half successful in opera
tions.
The Spanish version of the attack made
by General Gomez's forces upon Bejucal
is that in spite of all the damage done
by the enemy in burning houses, stores
and railroad depot, after five hours of
fighting and an heroic defense on the
part of the garrison, only two of the lat
ter were killed and 10 wounded, while
Gomez retreated with heavy losses, after
completing his days work with burning
passenger train.
1t is announced that on Sunday last
the Spaniards made an important cap
ture in the person of Jose Cephro, the
second in command of the Cuban column
commanded by General Regio. Cephro
is now safely lodged in Moro Castle and
his trial will not long be delayed. The
papers found on him are said to be of
the greatest importance and will probably
lead to the arrest of a number of promi-
nent citizens.
A report has just been received that
the railroad station and bridge at GOvea
have been burned by the insurgents, the
bridge being partially destroyed. Govea
is south from Havana and is south of
Roncan and near Bejucal. There is
nothing in the official report given out
to associate the destruction of the rail-
road property with the battle fought in
that vicinity, nor any further details to
be mad of the engagement in that neigh
borhood
News comes from Remedies that an in
surgent lieutenant with 80 followers has
surrendered to the Spanish authorities in
that district.

SULLIVAN REPORTED KILLED.
Sergeant of Texas Rangers Said to Have
Been Caught Mapping by Bill Doolin.

Fort Worth, Jan. 14.-(Special.)- .)-For
some time past the notorious desperate
Bill Doolin and gang of desperate fol-
lowers have been operating in Greer and
Wichita counties. They started on their
career of crime by killing negro the
latter part of December. This act was
followed by several robberies. The Tex
as Rangers, in charge of Sergeant Sulli-
van, who is well known in Texas, got on
their trail and on December 81 surround
ed the outlaws in Greer county and en-
gagged in desperate fight. Doolin was
wounded and Joe Beckham and an un-
known member of the gang were killed
outright. Doolin and two companions
escaped to the Indian Territory and Sun
day Sergeant Sullivan with Deputy Sher-
if Abbott of Wichita county and eight
others, all thoroughly armed, left Wich-
ita Falls to effect the capture of Doolin.
The report reached Fort Worth yester-
day that Sergeant Sullivan had been
killed in the fight that followed. Ser
geant Sullivan is a brave and cautious
officer and it is not thought that he would
permit Doolin to get the drop on him.
Doolin is now at Suggs camp, a few
miles south of Fort Sill, in the territory.
