There is considerable excitement
among mine-owners and locators
in the vicinity of the west foothills at
present, caused by some INSCRIPTIONS
parties who are unfortunately jump
ing their claims, and the indications are
that, should they continue this practice,
there will be trouble in that locality
before long. The only object these
aim-jumpers have in locating on
other peoples property is to either bull
doze the rightful owner out of the en-
tire claim. or in the event that he APP
plies for a patent, to enter a protest
and thereby blackmail him out OF a
small sum OF money by agreeing to
withdraw his protest and save the own
err a considerable expense which would
naturally accrue from procuring wit
nesses to appear before the United
States authorities to prove title. This
unfair method of securing few paltry
dollars has been successfully practiced
several times in this Territory, simply
because it was cheaper to pay what
they demanded than to show them up
in their true colors by establishing
ownership.
1t is a matter of great concern to the
entire camp that this practice be
stopped at once as the ore here is prin-
cipally a low-grade proposition, which
requires considerable capital to work
to advantage, consequently placing the
development of properties beyond the
reach of locators and compelling them
to interest men of capital in the work
This is practically an impossibility
where there is the least speck of a sha-
dow upon the title, either in the shape
of conflict or subsequent location. OF
course there are a great many amateur
prospectors who build monument and
place a location on other mems ground
purely by mistake In falling to discover
prior monuments or location notices
but usually in a case of this kind the
party in error Is only too willing to de-
stroy his notices. throw down his mon
ument, pull up stakes and travel a lit
tie farther i'm search of something
which would honestly belong to him.
Two or three deals of some impor-
lance have already been spoiled by un-
lawful conflicts and the people are be-
coming enraged over the matter. and
we would not he surprised to learn at
any moment that justice had been met
ed out to some unlucky scoundrel by
vigilance committee made up of victims
of this mining-camp shark.-Mercur

Carson News: ii is reported that A.
Livingston has purchased the undivi-
ded interest of william Zirn in his
three marble quarries in Pine Nut.
Many experts are of the opinion that
at little depth it will turn into gold
bearing quartz This theory is borne
out by recent developments in doing
assessment work on the claims. Almost
Immediately under the surface the
marble assumed a crystallized form.
Carson Appeal: The United States au-
thorities have begun an investigation
Of the charge that in 1892 $4,000 in
newly-minted coins were placed in the
State treasury vaults. on Saturday
last United States District Attorney
Jones visited the vaults to satisfy him
self If the charges were true. He found
that the amount was there in new sill
yer dollars of 1898 when Treasurer
Westeriield took charge. They were
there in sacks holding $1,000 each. Not
half of the money has yet been paid
out and the sacks are all filled with
freshly-minted coins, all of the same
date. and bearing the initial stamp of
the Carson mint. lie took some of the
coins away for inspection, depositing
gold in their place. Some of the coins
are not well minted and bear evidence
of having been hastily made. The Uni
ted States authorities ascertain from
the looks of the mint that 677, 900 silver
dollars We're coined in 1898, and they
are counting the money of that date in
the vaults to see what light can be
thrown on the matter. If the books
were correctly kept, they ought to tell
how the entire coinage of that year
was disposed of. The inference from
the $4,000 new dollars found in the
treasury is that coming was done I'M
known to the Government on private
account. Silver bullion was 62 cents an
ounce then, and by stamping ii with
the Government stamp an ounce be-
came worth $l.29 which would give the
manipulators of such deal a profit
of $4,000 on 1000 ounces, If extra
money was coined without the knowl-
edge of the Government, the parties en-
gagged in the work would naturally dis
pose of the silver and get gold in its
place only ON this theory would the
eighty sacks of new coins In the State
treasury be accounted for. In connec-
ton with the present scandals in the
mint the case threatens to assume CON
siderable Importance

'"fhen what will become Of the gold

banks get all this gold from?
These are pertinent questions which
our Don Quixote and his faithful
Squire have not grappled with.
To relieve the treasury from the OBJ
legation to pay out gold would be. in
evitably. to transfer to the banks the
whole of the demand for gold. In the
first place, such a transfer could not
possibly inspire the public mind with
greater confidence in the certainty of
gold payments, because. in the second
place, ii would not add another ounce
to the available stock of gold. In the
absence of enough gold TO meet the
urgent demand for the metal, the prob
able result would be to force the banks,
within a brief period, to suspend specie
payments. This would be the culmi-
mating catastrophe of an attempt to
maintain gold monometalism which, If
Mr.. Cleveland should have his way
would have added nearly $700,000,000 to
the Indebtedness of the American peO-
pie. The effort to sustain this false
system has filled the world with loss
and misery, and the craziest schemes
are now devised to avoid the only con-
clusion that is possible if safety is to
be attained, which is to supplement
standard gold with full standard silver.

Yachts and Boats.

cruise of the Portland Yacht Club will begin
this year on May 9th: the yachts leaving on

it is probable that the boats will visit Mack

we believe Will compare with any boat in
the State as to workmanship and style. We
think he deserves great credit. He has
built this boat without help from anv

A Waldo County Man IN Minnesota

Our Standpoint correspondent sends us
| the following sketch of Waldo County
man in the West: Mr.. John Clifford, treas
urer of the city of Mortified, Mimi, for
twelve years. has relatives in Standpoint.
! He was born in Stockton, Waldo county.
Maine, was the son of Jonathan L. Clifford.
His mother, Mrs. Susan French Clifford. is
| still living at Cannon Falls, MINI. A North
field paper says: His boyhood years We're
spent in the beautiful, ancestral home at
the head of Penobscot bay, near old Fort
Point, a spot charming for situation, pictur-
esque and romantic, and amply stored with
historic memories.
On this coast, ship building hourished
and fleets of vessels continually coming and
going away made the temptation to engage
in sea-faring life almost irresistible, After
many friends had gone "down to the sea in
ships" and never returned, and after the
eldest OF six sons had died of yellow fever in
Port-au-Prlnce, the parents of the sub
ject Of this sketch determined to sun
der the precious ties that bound them
to their Old home and place as great a
distance as seemed practical b. tween
their boys and the sea. With this thought
in mind, taking their five young sons and
one daughter, they went forth like Abra-
ham mot knowing whittier they went" anG
travelled until they reached Minnesota,
where they settled III the autumn of 1876
and engaged in farming near Cannon Falls
few years passed away in study and
work, and then the stern voice of patriotism
and duty called the boy, yet in his minority,
to join the brave who went forth "a home, d
heritage to gain" for the larger famiy-the
Nation. In 1862, he enlisted in Co. F.,
Eighth Regiment, Volunteer Infantry, and
served three years. History has recorded
the deeds of those who composed that com
pany The horrors they have seen cannot
be read IN the quiet eyes of the sodier-cti-
zen.
After the close of the war, Mr.. Clifford en-
gagged in cultivating his farm, which was sit
uated in the beautiful "Little Prairie Creek,
valley, not far distant from Cannon Falls in
the town of Stanton. In 1874, he gave up
farming and removed to Northtield. Here
he entered Law Bros general store on the
West side, where he, remained some years.
After severing his connection with the
above firm, he erected store building on
Division street near the corner of Fourth
street, where he engaged in the grocery and
fruit business. Not long after this the build
ing was destroyed by fire, but was rebuilt
Immediately, and the business re-establish-
ed, which has been continued without in
terruption up to this time. Here, and in his
home and among his fellow citizens he lives
his transformations, quiet life, which in its
faithfulness and simplicity is "open and
read of all men," He has served the city of
Mortified as treasurer for twelve years and
it is just to say that he has fulfilled all the
duties of this responsible office with marked
efficiency.
