Populists.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-E. W. War
cell, chairman of the populist central state
committee of California, and j. Taylor
Rogers, Mayor Sutro's secretary, have pre-
pared platform, which it is proposed to
present to the national populist convention,
to be held in st. Louis next week. The
financial plank follows:
I'VE demand a national money issued
directly by the general government only, as
a full legal tender for all debts. and issued
without the agency of any private corpora
ton or bank, and in circulating volume
subject to law and responsive to our needs,
and speedily to be increased to 500 per
capita of the entire people.
Such money shall consist of gold, silver
and paper, each dollar thereof endowed
with the same function impaired solely
from the stamp thereon, and not dependent
for its money value upon the price of the
material used. Each dollar shall be inter-
changeable with, but not redeemable in the
other, ard shall be denominated. respec tive
ly, gold, silver or paper money-all national
debts being payable in either at the option
of the government.
"As the United States is a free and DOW
erful nation, and the financial and indus
trial liberty of it's citizens should be in
dependent of the action of any other gov
ernment, we demand the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver by the United
States at their present legal ratio of IL to l,
eign nation.
We demand that all national banks be
abolished. AMI in lieu of them the govern
Ment establish postal bank in each city,
town and village of the United States, con
tanning population of 1000 or more.''
The platform also declares for the rec os-
milton of Cuba and against the refundine
of the Pacific railroad debts.

G. A. R. Encampment Notes.

A free ball was given the visitors at
Masonic Hall after the bicycle parade.
The old men proved spry dancers and
the Young men were decidedly ut II
disadvantage on this occasion. The
ladies found the old veterans very in
teresting partners.
A public installation was the order
for Saturday evening at the school
house. The G. A. r. and w. Il. {
officers were Installed in the presence
of a large assembly. After this the
closing number on the program, n
heanbake, took place on the camp
ground.
The w. Il. G. also held the annuul
election. The following officers were
chosen: Mrs. Matte ID. Rudlong, of
Occur ID Alene, President; Mrs. Mary
GiffelI, of Lewiston, Senior vice-presi-
dent; Mrs. Mary Warren, of Post Falls,
Junior vice-president; Mrs. Norta

Ann Darr, Lewiston, Chaplain.
The visitors were invited to inspect
the Normal School building. They
were driven there Friday in II body.
They were shown about 10y the officers
of the board of directors. The visit
was one of the most pleasant entertain
ments rendered the veterans. They
assembled in the auditorium and some
fine speeches were made by G. \. II.
and w. r. &. members, other visitors,
and citizens Of Lewiston.
A bicycle parade was feature of the
celebration. The Lewiston Club gave
this entertainment in honor of the
visiting veterans. About seventy
wheels were IN line. The tasteful dec
orations and the orderly movements
under the direction of Captain Coburn,
made pleasing exhibition. The old
style high wheel In contrast with the
modern safties was II striking illustra-
ton of modern inventions. 1t has
been but short time since the old
cushion tire wheel as high as II mans
head was the prevailing style in
wheels.

Mr.. Clagget's Speech.

Hon. W. II. Claggett, the silver
tOngued populist met his political
friends in Lewiston last Monday eve
ming. His effort was an eloquent pre-
sentation of the populist fads. The
dissenters in politics as in religion are
not often reformers. The populis,s
nave had their counterparts ia every
age and there never was IA great party
that did not have its traducers. Mr..
Clagget: is conspicuous figure In this
state. He has burning desire for the
distinction of u senator. He is n good
man AS good politicians 90 but he has
used his great talents for personal pre-
ferments. The religion of Christ has
suffered from the attacks Of talented
infidels. The republican party is no
more proof against the learning and
eloquence of u man like Mr.. Claggelt.
This speaker appeals to the people by
the use of the popular silver idea IN
politics. His.plan Is tiirt with the
democrats in the hope OF gaining
power by that channel. 1t may be
true that the republicans have not been
true to silver, but the democrats could
as we'll be arraigned on the indictment.
The republicans ot the west are rs
truly silver advocates as the popuiists
or the democrats. silver is not AN Issue
for there is no division on that subject
here. The republicans are fighting for
silver within republican lines. Mr..

ocratic party.

Another Big Bonanza!
A MOUNTAIN OF ORE COVERED
ONLY BY THE MOSS OF AGES.
Two Hundred a Ton.
Some Lucky Lewiston Men Who
Have Fortune In a New Cop
per and Silver Proposition.

The report OF the discovery Of a large
body of rich ore on Snake river at the
mouth of Cottonwood creek Is the most
significant bit of mining news of the
year. The district has been one of the
most interesting 10 the prospector III
all the northwest There il only a
narrow belt that crops through basaltic
overflow that extends throughout the
Snake river basin, near the mouth of
Salmon river. In this belt there have
been discovered Itch deposits of copper,
silver and & Did. There have been loca-
tions made in the past, but the true
ledge has never been developed. The
old Butcher Boy which gave rich prom
ises prove to have been a fault and not
tiss,ire vein. Volcanic, or other dis
turf ances has left II broken surface In
the narrow mineral belt aud very in
teresting conditions exist in the entire
district. The fractory ore bodies carry
iron cappings that arr perpIexing to
| miners. They are often broken aud
displaced by internal disturbances. In
this narrow belt which is cut hv
the great canyon Of the Snake there
have been sl,ews, slides aud freakish
breaks which have batiled the skill ol
the experts. The Butcher Boy was u
mystery. A dozen experts exhausted
their theories on It's formation. 1t IL
now believed that the hundreds of tons
of ore taken from that mine was SIM
ply "A piece OF float. The latest discov.
cry however Is one of the few mining
propositions that is IA certainty There
| is II mountain Of ore that has no COW
| ering, but the moss Of ages to conceal
II. There are five hundred tons In
sight. There are streaks OF ore In the
ledge which will assay II hundred and
fifty dollars to the ton. The ledge forty
feet wide as whole ASSAYS forty dol
lars to the ton IN copper aud silver
The rock is easily broken and 4 put
aboard the boat for II dollar II ton
Slmiiar ore formations are worked IN
big mines which assay only one fifth
of the value of this rock
An old prospector by the name o
Canter made this important discovery

already earnest workers in the same
field. They had expressed great faith
In the future of the district. Their eX
pericnce and good Judgment guided
in the matter. When thi, discovery
was announced they were soon on
the ground aud they lost no time In
securing II bond upon the property
They are now virtually the owners, as
the value is foregone conclusion
