Smashing Our Own Idols.

We have heard it said that one has
no right to damage the reputation and
character with invective language. We
supposed the shoe was intended for us
and had reference to our editorial last
week in which we handled the Presi.
dent and Secretary of the U. S. Treas
ury without gloves. As the shoe does
not ft we will kick it off.
We hold that the official acts of all
public officials are proper subjects for
public criticism and so long as we tell
the truth we have a right to use invec-
tives which will damage that reputa-
ton before the public. For twelve
years Grover Cleveland has been our
political idol, at whose shrine we have
worshipped and to whom we have been
a shield as well as gotten others to wor-
ship there. We believed he would rule
for the nations prosperity and happi-
ness, but as ruin and poverty is increas-
ing because he followed out the very
line of financial rulings of his former
predecessors of the opponent party for
20 years past and, in fact, in a more
bold manner with more ruinous results
we claim we have a right to smash our
own idols, far more so because we ex.
pected more from our own than we
would from another's political idol.
If we did not we would be untrue TO
cur selves and deceivers of others if we
did not inform them of what was
wrong.
We have as much right to tear down
a reputation as we had to help build it
up. We have as much right to pass
the inyectives on as we had to act as a
shield to ward them off, because he
treated most of the financial plank ofthe
platform on whichIhe was elected with
silent contempt. He spurred the pro-
posal of an international agreement to
restore the free coinage of silver and in
stead Of using it as standard money; he
gave silver no more value nor consider.
alton than the piece of al old gum shoe
with the U. S. Stamp on it.
Further, the American people should
become aware that he was In cahoots
with the Wall st, Bankers who caused
the panic in 1898, which bursted 600
banks, shut down numerous mills and
put hundreds of persons on starvation,
in order to make an object lesson to
the South and West to force the repeal
of the Sherman silver law of 1890,
which was proclaimed was the cause of
the panic and that prosperity would re.
turn when 1t was repeal. Since its
repeal prices never fell so fast in all
American history.
Further, he sat idly by while the
Wall ST., bankers raided the U. s..
Treasury and then entered into secret
contract with them 10 bond the coun-
try for eternity.
When our readers have these wrongs
made known to them they will believe
our epithets are not strong enough for
them.

THE OUTLOOK AT HALEY.
Mining Matters in the Wood River
Country, Idaho.

Mining Matters in the Wood River
Country, Idaho.
Judge P. M. Bruner of Haley, Idaho,
the we'll known Wood River lawyer
and jurist, was in the city yesterday on
legal business.
Judge Bruner says that in the Wood
River country and around Haley, min
ing matters are coming into more
prominence daily, and considerable ac-
tivity is especially noticeable in the sill
yer mines of that locality.
In the Red Elephant mine, a property
that has produced a million, two big
strikes have been made of late, and
work on the property will now be
pushed more vigorously than ever.
The Camas No. 2 mine, which is a
noted gold producer, and which has
paid $125,O00 in dividends with a little
mill, has also struck it rich of late, and
an ore body has been exposed in the
property that will keep the stamps
dropping for several years to come.
The ore values increase with depth in
the Camas, and the mine has millions
in sight.
The Red Cloud also shows up well,
and contains one of the largest ore
bodies ever blocked out in the Wood
River country The rock is a fine
smelling ore, carrying from $40 to $15
in gold, 70 ounces silver and 70 per
cent lead to the ton.
The Star mine at Haley, owned by
Salt Lake parties, has recently made a
strike of seven feet of fine galena ore.
This property is being managed by
superintendent Ferguson, and is one
of the coming bonanzaS OF that region.
Judge Bruner feels very hopeful con-
corning the outlook for the Wood River
country, and says that if silver is re-
monetized Idaho will develop into
wonderful wealth producer.

THE GOLD DOLLAR MINING 90.
j. E. Wiscomb Appointed General
Manager and superintendent.

The directors of the Gold Dollar Min
ing company held a meeting on the 18th
and appointed j. E. Wiscomb manager
and superintendent of the company.
The secretary's report shows that
since March, 1895, the main tunnel in
the property has been driven 1923 feet.
The west drift has been run a distance
of forty-three feet; the east drift, No. /,
a distance of twenty feet; and an up
raise of fifteen feet, besides which
ninety feet of the workings have been
timbered. 1923 feet of track has been
laid, ore houses have been erected, also
a blacksmith shop, storehouse and cell
lar, all Of which work and development
has been done by parties who have ia
ken treasury stock in the company in
payment therefor.
In doing the work above described a
body of ore 40xS0 feet has been blocked
out, which averages SO to Sc in gold to
the ton, and as the values increase
with depth, it is believed that a mill
would soon put the property on a pay
ing basis, and as a mill is among the
immediate possibilities it is limited that
the management are calculating on
dividend by July of this year.
The Gold Dollar group is located on
Gold Hill, between Big and Little Cot
tonWoods.

(Western Mining World.)
Yellow Jacket, Lemhi county, Idaho,
is situated on Yellow Jacket creek a
tributary of the Middle Fork of the
Salmon river and is 100 miles from Red
Rock, Montana, our nearest railroad
point. The Yellow Jacket district, in
Guiding the new camps of Black Bud
and Wilson creek, is one of the richest
spots in Idaho, if not in the west.
The present population of Yellow
Jacket is about 300. The Yellow Jacket
Gold company is the only property
worked extensively at present. The
Coleman Placer company worked
about forty men all summer and closed
down in November without making a
cleanup. The ground is very rich and
they expect to make $4,000 cleanup
next fall.
The Idaho Yellow Jacket Gold COM
pany is under the efficient management
of P. ]. Cirkel The property of this
company covers some 600 acres in lode
claims. They have sixty stamps drop
ping at present This sixty-stamp mill
is one of the finest equipped mills in
the northwest and has a capacity of
200 tons a day The ore is delivered
at the mill by tramway about one
half mile in length. They are build
ing at present a new tramway from
their No 8 tunnel which will have ca
pacity of 300 tons a day. The mill,
mine and saw mill are lighted by
electricity. The company has fine
water power of some 400-horse- power;
a f1ume over one mile in length gives
them a fall of 100 feet and the power is
generated by three Pelton wheels.
The ore body is from twenty to
sixty feet wide and they estimate they
have a years ore in sight at present

done a great de0I of dead work besides
building a large flume and putting in

The property owned by the new Co.

were the scene of considerable activity
during the lest season, with assur-
ances that next year more gravel will

history of those famous old diggings,
that thirty years ago furnished the
arena for one of the biggest excite
ments ever known in the west The
Oregon Placer company, in which L.

interested says the Butte Miner, has
put in an immense hydraulic plant, and

company also produced good results

Placer company also had q good year,

Placer miners are jubilant over the
heavy fall of snow in the mountains,
which insures an abundance of water
for next seasons operations. It is said
by those who have lately been in the
mountains that the present depth of
snow is fully twice as deep as at any
time during last season, and no doubt
considerable more snow will fall before

slider the Matter.
A few days ago the New York
World sent out kilograms to the bank
ers all over the country, Salt Lake
included, asking their opinion in regard
to the new popular loan of $4,000, 600,
and what amount, if any, they would
subscribe for. The interview of the
bankers published in The Herald sew
eral days since voices the sentiment
of Salt Lake very generally. Yester-
day Governor Wells received a tele-
gram asking what the sentiment was
of the prominent business men and
bankers in regard to the loan. The
governor, after speaking with a num-
Der of the leading business men in the
city, called a meeting of the bankers
and placed the matter before them. The
following telegram was the answer
sent the World:
IF proper legislation is enacted by
congress; if the tariff laws are adj
justed to meet the necessities of the
people of this country; if bill for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver is
passed, there will be no need Of solicit
ing a popular loan or any other kind
of loan. This government is amply
