Charles Reder returned on Monday
from the now famous Ragged Top gold
camp, where he spent a few days in
vesiigating its merits. Mr.. Reder was
most avorably impressed with the
present stains Of the camp and with its
future possibilities. He purchased two
of the most desirable lots in the new
town Of Balmoral, for which he paid
1926 each. and will at once proceed with
the erection of suitable business build
ings thereon. He left for Hill City on
Tuesday, where he has two commodi-
Gus frame buildings, a hotel and barn,
which he proposed TO tear down and
ship the lumber to Balmoral to be used
in the construction of his buildings
there. Mr.. Reder is nothing If not en-
terprising, and his success in the new
camp goes without saying. The best
wishes of his numerous friends will
follow him.

The first detachment of the Salvation
Army that ever came to the Black Hills
arrived in Deadwood the latter part of
last week. and established their "bar-
racks" in an off colored corner Of that
sinful city popularity known as the
bad Lands" 1t is the rule of the
army to seek the most desperately
wicked and deprayed sections Of the
cities they visit for the prosecution of
their soul saving mission. and their in
fluence for the betterment of society
has been marked in many of the larger
places of the east. Should thew be sue

The rich gold discoveries made in tho
limestone formation at Ragged Top have
had a tendency TO materially strengthen
the belief which has long been enter
tanned by the miners OF this section,
that what is known as the limestone
range west Of this place contains vast
quantities Of valuable ores, and there is
considerable interest now being mani
tested on the part of many of them to
determine the question by exploitation.
The formation and float rock picked up
in that region being said to be identical
with that of Ragged Top, would seem to
justify nm investigation, and we hope
that some one may have the nerve to
go ont there some of these fine days and
dig to the discovery point of fortune
that will be ample to float him upon the

life. Who will be the lucky maD2

Desert Queen has had another boom. in
the way of another rich find. The ledge
was encountered at depth of about
seventy feet, measured by the incline,
although it is probably less than thirty
teet from the surface in a vertical line.
The ore is full of free gold, just as was
the ore at the surface, while the ledge is
four feet in width and assays from $50
to $50 to the ton. Word of the new strike
was brought to the city by party who
came to town during the week, consist
ing of II. G. Steele, Colliver Zombro and

who has been on the desert for years

The herald., 1896-10-12

1t had been the custom for political op-
ponents to stump" together The vot-
ers then had chance to hear both sides
of any question discussed from the same
platform, and could form their opinions
accordingly as they might be influenced
by the weight of argument on one side or
the other.
The free silver advocates in this cam
paign had, time and again, challenged
their single standard opponents, but
had not been able to induce a solitary
one of the lot to stand upon the same
platform and discuss the issues of the
campaign.
Every invitation had been declined
with the same excuse, about as follows:
I'VE don't want to get lot of our peo-
pie out to listen to your arguments"
They dare not permit their people" to
listen to free and fair discussion of
those questions upon which they are to
vote.
Mr.. Sprague referred to the absolute
dishonesty of Major McKinley's daily
| repeated promises to the people that, in
| the event of his election, high tariff
bill could be Immediately enacted, the
| mills could all open, and sort of little
millennium come at once. He showed
| that as the United States senate is now
| constituted, and,as it will be constituted
| for the next four years, there is no pos
| sibility of any change in the tariff law
| without free coinage of silver. The sill
yer men are and will be majority of the
senate and will not permit it. Major
| Mckinley knows this to be fact, and he
| is not honest when he talks about tariff
| bills that are going to open the mills"
Replying to the pretense that over
| production accounts for the present low
| price Of wheat, Mr.. Sprague quoted from
Mulhall, the celebrated statistician, to
show that the worlds wheat crop since
| 1887 had never, in any year, equaled the
| production of that year, yet the price
| had continually fallen Notwithstanding
that the population of the world, the
consumers, had greatly increased. In
| 1882 the per capita consumption of wheat
| was 1852 bushels and the price was $1.1
per bushel; while in 1898 the per capita
consumption was only 1.36 bushels yet
the price had dropped to 65 cents per
bushel. And they talk of over-produc-
| tion
When Mr.. Sprague attempted to close
| his speech the audience would not have
| it that way, but made him "go on" for
| some time longer with his interesting re-
| marks. When he had concluded Mr..
Montgomery was introduced and made a
very earnest appeal to those present not
| only to vote right but to see to it that
their neighbors did likewise. He called
| attention to the proposed constitutional
| amendment to be voted upon this year,
repeating section 5, article 13, of the con-
stitution, and showed that it was a
| scheme of the money lenders to shirk
| their share of taxation.
The speakers were roundly applauded
and given a vote of thanks.
| The next meeting of the Cahuenga
Bryan Silver club will be held Tuesday
evening, October 90, at the Pass school
house, upon which occasion the lively
orators, Jud Rush and w. D. Gould,

CAHUENGA.
Splendid Addresses by A. r. Sprague
and j. p. Montgomery.

CAHUENGA, Oct. 1.-THE fifth meet
Ing of the Cahuenga Bryan Silver club.
which was held at the Pass schoolhouse
on Friday night, was like those that
have preceded it, largely attended and
very enthusiastic. The principal speak,
ers were A. r. Sprague, fusion candi-
date for assemblyman. Of the Seventeen
district, and J. P. Montgomery.
Mr.. Sprague delivered an address
which for clearness of diction and purity
OF language is rarely heard upon the
campaign stump. He impressed his
hearers as being man who thoroughly
understands the issues now before the
people; and, more than that, he salts
He'd them that he was right upon those
issues. 1t has rarely happened in Cali
:ornia that the voters of a legislative
district have had an opportunity to cast
their ballots for such good timber as A.
r. Sprague, and 1t is safe to say they will
improve the opportunity by electing him.
MI. Spragte opened his speech by re-
ferring to the fact that in former times
