Much dignity and gravity of de-
meanor are attributed to Major Nc
Kinley by the republican papers
because he stays close at home and
says nothing like a box turtle.
They say great crowds go to call on
Hanna's repeater, while Bryan
must make long and tedious tin
eraries to see and arouse the peo-
pie. Which is the better course?
Who constitute the crowds that
pilgrimage to Canton? Plutocrats
and their subsidized mouth-pieces.
The former are able to go, the lat
ter it costs nothing to go, for the
reason that the railroads will be
very generous until November to
the dead-heads that sympathize
with them in maintaining the gold
standard Bryan's crowds are truly
composite. The farmers, the la
borers and the youth of the land
are privileged to hear the wisdom,
eloquence and logic of the young
and fearless commoner. Bryan is
no puppet to be worked by pluto
cratic ventriloquist The utteran-
ces and the sovereignty of the man
are his own.
The elections hold so far this year
have shown large gain for the
cause of silver. In the results in
Oregon, Alabama and Arkansas
the total Democratic gain is 3d.
600. In the States of Vermont
and Maine the Republicans have
made a total gain of $4,000. This
shows that the cause of free silver
will triumph at the polls in No
vember.
1t is as natural for Republican
newspapers to lie as it is for duck
to swim. The way they are telling
about the Democrats having no
crowds at the different meetings in
the State does not bear bead. Re-
publicans may now boast of the
big crowds, but they will, doubt
less think otherwise after the cleo
ton. Our State Gazette is no
exception to the rule.
Poffenbarger denys that any
money has come into this county,
or that he ever received cent.
This may be true or not true,
but people will never believe
his denial.

Mckinley is telling the farmers
all about the tariff. Mckinley be-
lieves in home market; that is, a
tariff SO high that foreign goods
cannot come in, leaving all our own
markets for our own products.
That is very nice in words. But
if he believes in all that why not
believe in a home money also?
America for Americans, says Nc
Kinley, for everything except mon
ey, and as to that, why of course,
America must be for England.

There are men in this town hand
ling and displaying counterfeit
Mexican dollars whom one would
never have believed they would
engage in such work, even for an
"object lesson" as they style it.
Perhaps an arrest or two might
show them the gravity of handling
counterfeit money, even if it is n
counterfeit of another nations coin.
Friend farmer, if you were never
set to thinking before, the ruinous
prices you are receiving for the
products of your farm, is enough
to compel you to put your think
ing cap on and to think hard,
when this is done it won't take
long long for you to see where the
gold standard is leading you financ-
tally.

ANOTHER PRODUCER.
A Caye-in Exposes n Fine Breast of
High-Grade Ore.

"Old Bingham has not played out
yet said a gentleman yesterday to
Herald representa- tive, 'tand it will be
a. century before there will be any APP
parent diminution of the great ore
bodies of this magnificent camp, for,
go where you will pay mineral is all
most sure to be found within a few
feet of the grass-roots'
In Silver gulch. just above the Old
Spanish NINE, are located the Harrison
No. and San Francisco lodes In the
early day the owners of the Old Span
ish drove tunnel through the Black
Hawk, owned by them, into the Harri-
son lode, and before disseminating
work, according to report, took from
the latter property many tons of valu-
able ore.
These workings We're then aban-
doned, and years afterwards they
caved in, exposing to view a siX-foot
breast Of fine ore that averages go per
cent lead, 8 ounces silver and Sc in gold
to the ton.
A short time ago George E. Blair
and two of his associates secured a
bond and lease on the Harrison and
San Francisco claims, and now, with
a force of six men employed, they pro-
pose to thoroughly develop the pro-
perty, which is in a condition to enter
the lists at once as a shipper as it is
proposed to begin ore shipments on
Tuesday of next week, after which
date regular consignments will be

MERcUR MINING NOTES.
Items of Interest sissored From the
NeWsY AIercurY


Newsy Mercury.
AT the miners meeting Saturday
evening it was decided that it would
be impolitic to make any demand for
increased wages
A large flow of water was encoun-
tered in The Wonder shaft the first
of the week, and the work of sinking
has been greatly retarded thereby.
While Hanson and King were put
ting a set of timbers in the Hecia
shaft Monday it slipped and fell, in
juring both men somewhat, but the
boys were able to take their regular
shifts the next day.
Angus Nj. Cannon, of the New
Year Gold Mining company, owning
/ the Eastern Pride group, was in camp
yesterday and let a, 5000 contract for
the development of that property. Ed
Ritter and Bert Hickman are the con-
| tractors.
/ E. A. Benson, manager of the Mer-
cur Gold Product company, this week
! put a shift of men to work on each
/ the Transvaal group and Golden Re-
ward group in the western foothills,
where a. most excellent showing is re-
ported.
Henry S. Mackay and John Murray,
Boston capitalists, have been shown
over the district this week, under the
guidance of c. H. Scheu and l.. II.
Mayne. The gentlemen were greatly
pleased with the camp and 1T IS prob
able that they will become interested
here.
|, CAPTAIN DeLamar has purchased a
large tract of ground on Ophir Creek
| from Ed Dalton, in order ito secure
the water right. 1t is evident that
the captain anticipates the need OF
j more water in the near future in the
district than the Gold Belt company
is able at present to supply.
Horace W. Anderson, a well known
mining man, has accepted the super
infendency of the Hillside workings
and has taken up his residence in Che
| camp. The incline shaft started last
year by Mr. Scaneu is being extended
end is looking better with each shift
Samples across the entire face run
from SO up and all the ore taken out
in running the incline is nearly, if not
quite, pay ore
The dire misgivings which were
entertained alike by mine owners
and miners concerning the opera
ton of the eight-hour law, seems tc
have been entirely unfounded, al
least in this district, where the
miners are working eight hours fol
the same pay as formerly, with per-
haps one or two exceptions, and do
ing as much work, if not more, thar
they ever did, and in a better man
ne, l. looks now as though the Law
would prove a benefit to all con
cerned.

The hex mine, in Detroit mining ms
trict. has made a fine showing from
the date of its discovery and as
srass-root proposition gave promise ID
developing into one of the biggest ana
most permanent producers in Titan.
It's early history is well known In
mining circles. and although no one
ever doubted the ultimate outcome Oh
the property. still the mine had had a
checkered existence, and, while IN lhe
hands of the hex Copper company
1T was mismanaged and left in shape
that would discourage most mlnlIS
men. by S. +. Mount and L. holbrook'
heavy owners in the property, knew no
such word as fail. and when the mime
reverted back into their hands, they
made a. few shipments Of ore and then,
with the company incorporated, began
the driving of a long tunnel for the
purpose of giving a working outlet to
the mine and also to uncover the ore
body at a greater vertical depth
This connection has been made AND a
Herald correspondent. under date OF
June II. writes that a me body OF ore
has been struck, the face of the tun-
mel being in a large body of mineral
that averages from $50 to 500 in gold
and 10 per cent. copper to the TON
The tunnel is $50 feet in length and
at the point of contact with the ore
the vertical depth is about 425 feet
thus giving a large area OF stopine
ground.
This magnificent strike our cor
respondent seys. "dispels all doubts as
to the permanency of the ore deposits
of Detroit mining district, and from
now on Detroit is a camp of wonderful
possibilities as a gold producer.
The completion of this tunnel adds
another producing and without doubt
a dividend-paying mine to Utah's lis
of bonanzas; and more. it proves the
continuity of the ere BODIES of fhac
district, and as a result mining enter
prises in that locality will be greatly
stimulated, and where there is but one
mine today in that section, within &
year from now there will most likely
be dozen.

has been closed down. This throws $50
men out of employment without warn
ing. The reason for the shut down
is not because the enterprise was I'M
profitable, but is the result of trouble
between the miners and the superin-
tendent, who reduced the wages of
the car men from $3.50 to $2.25 per day.
The miners took up the grievance of
the men affected, and made demand
as follows: All men in the mine were
to receive So per day: none but union
men were to be employed; the union
to be the Judge of the qualifications of
employees; all Mexicans at work for
the company to be discharged at once.
The superintendent was waited upon
by 800 men and informed if he did not
accede to these demands he would be
marched out of town. Under these
threats he acceded to the demands. The

THE METRIC SYSTEM.

LONDON. June 12.-The following
are the resolutions adopted by the
chamber of commerce of the British
empire regarding the adoption of the

Whereas, the British currency sys-
tenn of pounds, shillings, pence and

noyance and loss of time to the trade,
especially to the foreign trade VINO
have adopted decimal system. and
Whereas, the system of dollars and
cents now covers the whole of the
North American continent, with d
population of 7O,OOO,0GO of English
speaking people,
BE it resolved, that the Canadian
system of currency, which answers all
purposes, be extended to the other
portions of the British empire, the
pound sterling to be equal to five dol
lars and the shilling to % cents.
whereas, the Briusn system of
weights and measures, which vary
constantly in every part of the British
empire is a source of constant annoy
ance, loss of time and a formidable
obstacle to local trade, imperial and
foreign trade; and
Whereas, the metric system has now
been universally recognized as the most
perfect decimal system. and gener-
ally adopted by nations of both conti-
nents, with the exception of the Brit
ish empire and the United States of
America:
