THE EAST GOLDEN GATE.

An Enterprise That is Being Watch
ed Closely BY Mining aHen.
The diamond driI at work on the
East Golden Gate at Mercur is going
down at a rate of from twenty to
thirty feet a day, and there are two
score men in the camp and in this city
who would like to know just what
the showing is as work progresses; but
they can't, and for the simple reason
that the management of the company
refuse to make any statement what
ever regarding the results obtained, but
there is every reason to believe that
it is satisfactory, as otherwise, in all
probability, the work would not b. con-
tinued
1t has been a source of wonder to
many, however, why it is that out
siders have not been able to get the
information desired; "alas," said one
individual, nothing would be easier
than to go up TO the mine, get some
Of the borings, and have them as
saved"
But this is easier said than done At
the drill samples of the borings are
taken at every two feet, and each day
these are placed in a strong box and
expressed to this city, where they are
assayed under the supervision of the
officers of the company. The refuse
borings are then thrown down into
the bottom of a $50 foot shaft, and al
though the contractor has been ap-
preached with a. cash proposition for
the desired information, he has refused
to be subsidized. The workings are
also under care of watchmen day and
night; in consequence of which re-
strictive measures the public will re-
ceive but little satisfaction until such
time as the management sees fit to
make known the results obtained by
the use of the diamond drill.
The drill hole is now down a depth
of 400 feet below the bottom of the
$50 foot shaft, thus giving total depth
of $50 feet.

DISCUSSES FINANCIAL AFFAIRS
And Repeats That the Remedy IL the Re-
tirenent of Gree backs.

This reference TO the condition and
prospects of our revenues naturally
suggests an allusion to the weakness
and vices of our financial methods.
They have been frequently pressed
upon the attention OF congress in pre-
vious executive communications and
the inevitable danger of their continued
liberation pointed out. Without now
repeating these details I cannot refrain
from again earnestly presenting the
necessity Of the prompt reform Of a
system opposed to every rule of sound
finance, and shown by experience to be
fraught with the gravest peril and per-
plexity. The terrible civil war which
shook the foundations of our govern
ment more than thirty years ago
brought in it's train the destruction of
property, the wasting of our coun-
try's substance and the arrangement
OF brethren. These are now past and
forgotten. Even the distressing loss Of
life the conflict entailed is but a sac
red memory. which fosters patriotic
sentiment and keeps alive a tender re-
gard for those who nobly died.
And yet there remains with us today,
In full strength and activity, as an in
cident OF that tremendous struggle, a
feature OF its financial necessities not
only unsuited to our present circum-
stances but manifestly disturbing
menace TO business security and an
ever-present agent of monetary dis
tress. Because we may be enjoying a
temporary relief from its depressing in
fiuence, this should not lull us into n
false security nor lead us to forget the
suddenness of past visitations. I am
more convinced than ever that we can
have no assured financial peace and
safety until the government currency
obligations upon which gold may be
demanded from the treasury are with.

This might be done. as has been here

the proceeds of such bonds.

such occasional results fall far short
OF compensating the palpable evils
charged TO the account OF trusts and
monopolies. Their tendency Is to crush
out Individual Independence and to
hinder or prevent the free use of hu-
man faculties and the full development
OF human character. Through them the

TO the level OF mere appurtenance to
great machine, with little free will,
with no duty but that of passive obed-
fence, and with little hope or opportun-
ity of rising I'm the scale OF RESPONSE
bic and helpful citizenship.
To the instructive belief that such Is
the inevitable trend of trusts and mo-
nopolies Is due the widespread and
deep-seated popular aversion in which
they are held, and the not unreasona-
bic insistence that, whatever may be
their incidental economic advantages.
their general effect upon personal char
acter, prospects and usefulness can not
be otherwise than injurious. Though
congress has attempted TO deal with
this matter by legislation, the laws
passed for that purpose thus far have
proved Intellectual. not because of any
lack or disposition or attempt TO en-
force them. but simply because the laws
themselves as interpreted by the courts
do not reach the difficulty If the in
sufficiencies of existing laws can be
remedied by further legislation IL should
be done.
1t should be recognized however,
that all federal legislation on this sub
tect may fall short Of it's purpose be-
cause OF inherent obstacles. and also
because of the complex character of
our government system, which, while
making the federal authority supreme
within its sphere. has carefully limited
that fear by metes and bounds which
cannot be transgressed. The decision
OF our highest court on this precise
question renders IL quite doubtful
whether the evils of the trusts and
monopolies can be adequately treated
through federal action. unless they
seek directly and purposely TO include
in their objects transportation or inter-
course between states, or between the
United States and foreign countries.
II does not follow, however that this
is the limit of the remedy that may be
applied. Even though IL may be found
that federal authority is not broad
enough to fully reach the case, there
can be no doubt of the power of the
several states 10 act effectively in the
premises. and there should be no rea-
son to doubt their Willingness to judic-
iously exercise such power.

VENEZUELAN BOUNDARY QUESTION.
An Incident That Is Nearly CIosed-Some
Talk About Seals.

The Venezuelan boundary question
has ceased to be a matter of difference
between Great Britain and the United
States, their respective governments
having agreed upon the substantial
provisions OF treaty between Great
Britain and Venezuela submitting the
whole controversy TO arbitration. The
provisions of the treaty are so eminent
ly just and fair. that the assent of Ven
ezuela thereto may confidently be an
ticipated. Negotiations for a treaty Of
general arbitration for all differences
between Great Britain and the United
States are far advanced and promise TO
reach successful cansummation al an
early date.
With the foregoing the whole SUBJ
tect IL dismissed and the president
takes up the subject OF reform in the
consular service. which he advocates
on merit system lines, and also urges
the providing of residences for our
ambassadors abroad. Then he takes
up the seal question and says:

Influx of Statesmen at the Hotels-Mark
Hanna the Central Figure.
That Sunday was the eve of a new
session of congress was apparent in the
Washington hotels, which are always
barometers Of political activity under
the dome. Senators and members COM
ing 10 the city by every train, rein
forced by the attaches and lookers-o on
of congress, were drifting into the lob
bies, greeting one another like school
boys after vacation with much hand
shaking, with "reminiscences of the
campaign and many explanations of
how their reflections or defeats had
been brought about. There was COM
parativcly small interest in the work of
the coming congress itself apart from
the presidents message, but clouds OF
speculation were afioat dealing with
the policies of the new administration
to be inaugurated on the 4th Of March,
and with the personnel of the cabinet.
1t was unanimously conceded that
the Republican programme was to ig-
more the Dingley tariff bill and to sum-
mon an extra session OF congress for
the 18th of March. for the purpose Of
passing a new tariff measure. Curios-
ity was expressed over what reference
IL any President Cleveland might make
to the issues and the result of the pres
idential campaign, and particularly as
to his policy upon the Cuban question.
The central figure Of the night was
Marcus A. Hanna. who Is looked upon
here as the advance agent Of the Nc
Kinley administration. with a commits
sion TO feel the pulse of congress and
to communicate the policy of the pres
ident-elect to the leaders. When Han
ma appeared in the Arlington lobby
after his dinner, accompanied by H.
G. Payne, of Wisconsin, who Is slated

OF Chicago. a member OF the Republi-
oan committee. and General Horace
Porter. the marshal OF the Inauguration
parade. the party was surrounded by
congressman and other politicians who
escorted them to Hanna's rooms. The
Republican chairman had been invisi-
bic during the day. trying to put aside
politics for Sunday. he explained, but
throughout the evening he was beset
by visitors.
Some Of the most conspicuous men
about the hotel, most of whom talked
with Hanna during the evening, were
Senators Platt, of Connecticut, and
Aldrich. of Rhode Island; Chairman
Babcock and Vice Chairman Mercer,
Of the congressional campaign COM
mittee; General Grosvenor, of Ohio:
