Here a 130-foot incline has been run and a short drift at the bottom shows up an ore body nine feet in width, running high in rebellious gold ores, easily to be reduced, however, by the cyanide process An offer of $25,O0O made for the claims by Clark & Rankin, has been refused, the owners believing they have a bonanza Adjoining Dan Thorne of Prescott has a well devel- oped claim that is rich in pyritic ores A half mile east is the Gold Stand ard owned by Thorne and others. It lately has been bonded by E. o. Ken nedy for $40,000. It has over 800 feet of development and the workings show an average of four feet of concentrat- ing ore that will run S25 to the ton in gold and 10 per cent in copper. All over the district the utmost ac- tivity was noted in mining and the indications are favorable for the estab- lishment there of one of the best min ing camps of the west. The size and permanence of the ore bodies have been demonstrated and the richness of the ores tested to full satisfaction of all parties interested.

Sauce for the Goose Not ReIished
by the Gander.

In nearly all his speeches, Mr..
Bryan continues to express his
"belief," his "conviction" and so
forth that free coinage would bring
silver up to it's old market value
of SI.2o an ounce. If Mr.. Bryan
and his political coadjutors sincere
| ly believe tins, why were they so
anxious in the Chicago Convention
to declare against contracts for
gold payments2 This attempt to
defeat gold contracts is in curious
contrast with their professions of
confidence in the power OF free
coinage to restore silver 10 ITS old
value in the market But the fact
is that if the Silvermongers were
convinced of this there would
be tremendous detection from
the Bryan ranks before the Novem-
Der election. What very many of
the Silvermongers are longing for
is a debased currency, in the illu-
sion that with it's attendant infla-
tion of prices they would get some
thing for nothing at the expense of
their neighbors.
Judge W. s. McClan, of Little
Rock, the leader of the Arkansas
free silver forces, was very clear in
explaining what he was fighting
for. This is how he did it during
the recent campaign:--
al am sometimes asked if be-
lIeve the reconciliation of silver
would increase ITS value so as to
make the bullion in silver dollar
equal 10 the present gold dollar. |
answer no, If | thought so |
would not waste llme advocating
the restoration of the unlimited
coinage of silver, The sole Oejeet
of remonetizing silver as | under
stand il, is to secure a cheaper
dollar with which TO measure and
regulate prices. Il we would only
adopt the silver dollar as the unit
and measure of value, we would
thereby have money that would
be a HHlt mere Than kay as valuable
as gold, and it would be exaefLy

In case free coinage of silver

would continue TO make their pay
ments by checks and drafts on
banks, as heretofore; but, in my
opinion, the whole volume of our

gold or its equivalent, as is now
the case. ]. G. CARLISLE.

The Law In Regard TO the 90 v.
ernment Sustaining the Value
Of the Silver Dollar.

/
The law under which the coinag,
of silver dollars is carried on Is .
part of the act OF July "a, 1890
commonly known as the Sherman
silver purchase act The purchas
ing clause Of that act, which re.
quired the Secretary OF the Treas.
ury TO buy silver bullion and cord
II up in the Treasury, was repealed
November /, 1893, but that part
which relates TO the coinage and
provides for maintaining the parity
of gold aud silver are still in force.
Section 3 relates TO coinage and
reads as follow;
"That the Secretary OF The
Treasury shall each month coin
two million ounces Of The silver
bullion purchased under The
provisions ol this act into
standard silver dollars until the
first day OF July, 1891, and after
Il, i time lac shall cola of the silver
bullion purchased under the pro-
visions Of this act as much ss may
he necessary to provide for the re-
dempIion OF the Treasury notes
herein provided for and any gain
or scigniorage arising from such
coinage shall be accounted and
paid INTO the Treasury.
IL will be seen that this act
stopped The coinage Of silver dol
lars, except so much as may be
necessary for the redemption Of
the so called Sherman notes. The
same act provided that these notes
should be redeemed by the Secre-
tary in gold at his discretion, 'it
being the established policy OF the
United States to maintain the
two metals on a parity with
each other upon the present
legal ratio, or such ratio as may
he provided by law" The Repnb-
lican Secretary of the Treasury
used his discretion under this act
by paying the notes in silver when
silver was wanted, and IN gold
when gold was wanted. He kept
this up till March, 1893, when Mr..
Carlisle succeeded him. Moreover,
the same policy had been
pursued since January /, 1879,
when specie payments had been re-
sumed, with reference to the pay
ment Of United States notes,
commonly called greeubacks.
Notwithstanding this law is on
the statute book, and its effect
we'll known, the -silver-or-b bust
orators, Bryan, Teller, Stewart and
the small fry echoing them still de-
clare "that all the silver dollars
and silver certificates are kept on
a par with gold, without any prom
Use, expressed or implied, TO re-
deem them in gold or anything else
except silver. Everybody knows
that 1t IS the legal tender quality
conlt rred upon the silver now in
