showIhg of reSthat has!Been got o4t
of ahe Last Chance m e, which he
u interested with Louis Burkhart and
joe Lang. They have about 800 tons
ot fine ore on the dump, mostly free
milling and of high grade. The Last
Chance is opened up by tunnels and
no difficulty in STOPPING out. large
quantities Of good ore as soon as a
plant Is put in to work the ore. Uncle
Jack feels good and no one here de-
servesa streak or tick more than he
as he has stayed with the claim until
it proved mine.
The Gold Bug mine owned by j. r
Bradley, Jim Penrod and Earl &
Moran has been shut down since last
Fall. but now they are starting in to
work and expect to make good
showing this year. a..
On the Orc Grsnde mine. owned by
Emanuel Penrod, Alex Penrod and
Ogden parties, $50 feet of tunnelling
was done and shaft sunk last Win
ter. In doing the work they got out
a good lot of rich ore. They are plan
ming to do considerable work this
Summer.
These three mines are the princi-
pal ones in the camp and assays have
been had ranging from $35 10 $1,000
in gold, and from 6 to SO ounces in
silver.
Prospecting is beginning and the
chances of some good mines being
found is good.
Hank Keith, of Elko, is prospect
ing here and has located mine that
he has named Sunday" Hank
thinks he has got it big and the writer
sincerely hopes that the Sunday"
may prove a bonanza.
The gulches in this district are very
rich in placer gold, but owing to the
great quantity Of black sand it is very
difficult to save, consequently not
much has been done in the way Of
placer mining.
The great need of this district is u
wagon road. A petition to the Coun-
ty Commissioners has been circulated
asking them to build wagon road
from Meadow Greek to the mines, a
distance of two miles.
The Goodale Brothers are here ex-
aiming the mines with view Of put

will prove suitable for treatment by
that process, Alder district will open

FREE SILVER FOLLY.


Coinage Means 20 Farmers.
| IN a recent letter to DR.. w. M. Gam
BILE, Of Moorefeld, w. Va, Postmaster
General William L. Wilson makes the
following clear statement Of the real
meaning and effects of free coinage:
Free coinage of silver at sixteen to
one means that any private owner OF
silver bullion may bring it to the minis
and have it coined without charge into
dollars of the present weight and fine
ness, which, of course, would there
after be worth as much az and no more
than the bullion of which they were
coined, which is now about so cents
on the dollar. No gold would then be
coined, because with the bullion neces-
sary to coin gold dollar could be par
chased enough silver bullion to coin
two silver dollars. No one would use
gold dollars to pay debts which he could
pay with less valuable silver dollars.
The first effect of free silver would
be to drive out of circulation the $685.
100000 of gold and to sink all silver
and paper money to the standard of
the silver dollar.
"There is no country in the world
that could make this sudden change in
it's money standard without plunging
headlong into an indefinite period of
panic, bankruptcy and distress, with
disastrous check to its development
and long idleness to its industries. The
hope held out to debtors that they
would be able to pay in cheaper dollars
would never be realized, because they
would be at once pressed for their debts.
and in such disorganization of trade
and of all business they could not get
the cheapened dollars, and the idea that
free silver would give us a larger cur
rency would not be realized, it ever,
in the lifetime of the present genera
ton.
THE farmer is urged t. support free
silver on the ground that his products
have gone down with the gold stand
ard and would rise with the silver stand
ard. They would not rise as fast or
The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1896-06-26

as much as the things he has to buy
and he ought to see that, while wheat
and some other things have gone down
of recent years, it is because of the i'm
mensely increased production and the
speed and cheapness with which all
parts of the world can carry their
wheat by steam car and steamship to
the markets which fix its price.
"But farm produces, on the average,
have not fallen near SO much as the
things which the farmer has to buy,
and labor has steadily increased in
wages in all the years of the gold stand
ard, thus giving the laboring man. with
fewer hours of work, lager control
over the necessaries and comforts OF
life.
"Out of all the catastrophes of such
a change no men would emerge I'M
harmed except those who own gold
or who own silver bullion or mines,
and when we had once gotten TO sill
yer basis and begun to build UP again
the credit system upon it--that mar
velous system which has made possible
our modern developments and which
represents many times in currency cir
culation and power the money basis
on which it rests-we should have a
cumbersome, heavy, inferior metal
money, like the few unprogressive
countries of the world, and surrender
to our great commercial rivals the
best metal and the best mechanism for
trade and commerce.
If congress tomorrow had the power
and should enact law compelling all
the railroads of the country immediate
ly to change from broad gauge to mar
row guage, it would not more disvr-
ganize the transportation business of
the country and more cripple its eff
ficiency thereafter, as compared with
other nations, than for us to pass at
once from a gold to a silver stand
ard"
