missing. Tho Appeal says that Brown
lost his place at the Bank about two
weeks ago and left tho same night
for San Francisco with his wife. Mrs.
Brown returned i'll Il few days and
was unable to say where her husband

that the reasons gwen him for Browns
discharge were merely personal. and
not on account of any financial diff

SILVER AMI LABOR.

The gold standard press ncver tires
in telling the laboring class that the
free coinage OF silver will reduce
wages, make employment more diff
cult TO get and place them ON u level
with the pauper labor OF Europe. II
FREQ silver coinage would produce
such direful results to the lnboring
people OF America, it Is n delusion
and n snare and its advocates should
be placed in lunatic asylums where
they can do no harm. If on the other
hand proof can be adduced that
should this country even go to Il sill
e basis, wages would be higher,
more employment furnished the ln-
boring class and their condition
greatly improved, then they should
count the gold standard advocates
their worst enemies and join the ranks
OF the FREQ silver men. Happily such
proof is not wanting. Our sister he
public Mexico stands forth as Il bright
example OF what even n silver basis,
so much harped upon and despised
by the single standard advocates, has
done for the Mexican people.
Secretary ROguon, OF the Pan-Amer-
can Company, engaged in mining in
the State of Sonora, told the Inter
Mountain Mining Review that an err
roneous Impression prevails concern
ing the condition OF Mexican labor
under the silver regime. The Pan
American company is now paying
almost double the wages it paid when
it commenced operations n few years
ago. Skilled American labOrcrs now
command higher wages in Mexico
than in the United States, the scale
being from GO to 81 Il day. Mexican
money, equivalent to s3 and 81 80,
United States coin. The foreman OF
the Pan-American mill receives Si0C
per month, Mexican money, worth
5000 in United States money. But
most OF the articles OF Mexican pro.
duct!on arc just as cheap now rs they
have ever Ll en-, and there has been NO
decrease in the purchasing power OF
the Mexican dollar, except as applied
to those products that are imported
from gold standard countries. In nd.
dition to the benefit OF higher wages,
the Mexican laborcrs now find en-
ployment every day in the year II
they desire il. So swift has been the
growth AMI expansion Of the indust.
ries that the demand for labor is fire.
quently greater than the supply.
Tho condition OF Mexican labor,
under the silver standard. has i'm.
proved 100 per cent. During the
same period tho condition Of the
American laborer, under the gold
standard, has grown worse. And Car.
isle still has the nerve to deliver
Sound money harangues to Amer,

rrIrh,rul Calamity.

A terrible cyclone struck St. LOUIS
about 5:D Wednesday afternoon de-
stroying a vast amount of property
and killing nearly 300 people. The
afternoon had been one Of intense
heat with now and then pulls OF wind
coming by turns from all points Of the
compass. Late III the afternoon II
shifting wind blew aud u storm cen
ter de veloped. and tho fury OF the ele-
ments was borne within the city lin
its. In the west Il thunder storm de.
veloped, but the early mutterings in
Dictated nothing more alarming than
II d%ownponr with electrical displays.
This rain cloud came up slowly ut
first from the west, beyond Forest
Park.
AS the black cloud grew higher its
arch embraced more territory 10 the
north and south. \ strong wind from
the east began To blow right in the
face OF the storm. 1t was the lower
current. Suddenly the wind stopped
blowing from the east and there
swept from the northwest Il terrific
| gale, which made the best built
structures tremble. With the hur-
%ricane, for that was the first form the
storm took when il broke over
the western part Of the city, came Il
deluge.
From a few minutes before D o'clock
until $50 the hurricane blew from tho
northwest. Then there came Il lull.
and the currents shifted. In the
southwest there came into existence
4 storm cloud. with the essential feat
ures OF Il tornado, funnel-shaped.
This second storm burst upon the city
from the southwest. Ii came in on
South Lafayette Park, struck the city
and tore II way through the town To
the river by Il northern course. 1t
wrought such havoc that it will leave
traces i'll that part of the city which
lies east OF Seventh street To lIads
bridge. Boats were ground to pieces
or capsiZed. The tornado crossed the
river, demolished the upper work at
the east end Of the bridge, and then
wreakcd its fury on East ST. Louis.
Shortly after 6o'clock, with the sun
more than an hour above the WESTERN
horizon, there fell upon the city
clouds so densely black that it gave
place to the darkness of midnight.
That was the Precursor OF "A tornado
from the southwest. The hurricane
from the northwest gave the western
portion Of the city a severe sinking
up. The tornado from the southwest
which was responsible for the loss Of
life and destruction along the lcvec
district and in East St. Louis, fol-
lowed the hurricane by about half
an hour.
Or the destruction of property there
can be no satisfactory estimate gwen,
as the loss i'll extent and character ia
beyond conception. The loss in ST.
Louis alone is placed between SlO,-
100000 and $4,000 900. Tho death
list i'll st. Louis will reach oycr 100
and may reach 300. In East St Louis
at least 100 persons were killed.

Comments on Mckinley.

indianapolis Ncws:-The nomina.
ton OF Mckinley is practically rs
sured. He seems to suit the sound
money states and the free silver states
equally well. Tho very uncertainty
Of Mr.. McKmley's position on the
money question has been. il not Il
positive advantage to him, at least no
detriment.
Albany Argus:-Morc and more it
looks like Mckinley. lie is the log
ical Republican President. He is
satisfactory to the tariff barons, who
chiefly contribute to the Republican
campaign fund, and if he has dis
pleased either side Of the currency
question 1t is through no indiscretion
Of speech.
Utica Observer:-Why should Me-
Kinley state his position OH the eur
rency question? His party doesn't
require it. They take Mckinley on
n webbing platform Just rs they
would buy a gold brick. The Repub-
licans are easy to bunco. Label II
thing Republication and they will
gulp mt it like Il chub for trout bait.
Memphis Appeal:-Judging from
the persistent silence of Mckinley,
We may assume that he has no es-
pecial convictions ON the silver ques-
ton, and that he does not regard il as
Of Importance, except to be lodged.
Doubtless he regards it rs a rcd-hot
poker, which in course of time will
cool Off and be capable of safe hand
ling.
New York Timcs:-McKinley's po-
litical strength is not only not dimin-
shed, but is actually and greatly in
creased, by his personal weakness, by
his lack OF courage, independence,
conscience, and capacity for individu-
nj Judgment. The flabbiness of his
character, the pasty nature Of his
mind, are not hindrances, but helps,
to his success in seeking for the nom
ination.
New York Town Topics:-Thank
fortune, it looks rs if the Republicans
were pretty sure to nom mate the
most serious-minded man that ever
donued Il frock coat or baggcd or
shone at the knee with truly moral
carDcstncss. Mr.. Reed lacks this
beautiful quality. You never can
tell when Mr.. Reed is joking. Viii
liam Mckinley never made a joke in
his life; he did not even make the tar
i'll act which bears his name.
New York Sun:-The peculiarly OF
Maj. McKinley's financial record is
that it enables his promoters to offer
to the silver Republicans Of the west
and south certain votes of his in Con-
gress, and certain passages from his
speeches proving that he is one Of sill
ver's best friends, and at the same
time to exhibit to the sound currency
Republicans OF the eastern states
other votes Of the Majors, and other
passages from his speeches, rs evil
dence that the cause OF honest money
would be safe with Inn in the White
House. This doublc-action record Is
not creditablG to the man who
achieved it, but it in uncOmmonly
convenient while the conventions are
being held.

A orea, Gold ca,np.

EDITOR INDEPENDENT: = In look
ing over the mining news from
different sections OF the State. it
Is surprising to note hat no mention
Is made OF the very promising pros
pect OF u great gold camp in the north
ern part OF Elko county. especially
i'll the Tennessee Gulch and Island
Mountain country. Very little pros
pecting has been done in these sec
tions and the few men who have
shown their faith in the future of
these camps are ill n fair way of maxi
ing handsome returns for their perse-
verence.
Uncle Jack Abel has arrived from
Elko and Is very much pleased mt the
showing OF ore that has been got ont
OF the Last Chance niue, in which he
is interested with Louis Burkhart and
Joe Lang. They have about 300 tons
Of 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 rs soon as Il
plant is put in to work the ore. Uncle
Jack feels good and no one here de-
serves a streak Of luck moro than he
as he has stayed with the claim until
it proved Il mine.
Tho Gold Bug mine owned by j. X.
Bradley, Jim Penrod and Earl IL
Moran has been shut down since last
Fall, but now they are starting i'll to
work and expect to make Il good
showing this year.
On the Orc Grande mine, owned by
Emanuel Penrod, Alex Penrod and
Ogden parties, 80 feet of t~unnelling
was done and II shaft sunk last Win
ter. In doing the work they got out
IL good lot of rich ore. They are plan
ming to do considerable work this
Summer.
These three mines are the princi.
pal meg in the camp and assays have
been had ranging from SO 10 81, 900
i'll gold, and from 6 to &c 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 a mine that
he has named Sunday" Hank
thinks he has got it big and the writer
sincerely hopes that the Sunday"
may prove Il bonanza.
The gulches in this district are very
rich in placer gold, but owing to the
great quantity Of black sand il is very
difficult to save, consequently not
much has been done III the way of
placer mining.
The great need OF this district is IL
wagon road. \ petition to the Coun-
ty Commissioners has been circulated
asking them to build Il wagon road
from Meadow Creek to the mines, Il
distance of two mile5.
The GoOdalc Brothers are here en-
amining the mines with Il Wow OF put
ting i'll Il cyanide plant and if the ore
will prove suitable for treatment by
that process, Alder district will open
the eyes of the people OF Elko coun-
ty.
Work in the Island Mountain dis
trict is progressing timely. The Cole
man Mining u Milling Company are
hard at work on the Little Maid"
and has Il double compartment shaft
down so feet. They have put in Il
pump so as to go down deeper. They
have Il rich streak of orc ussaying 81
GOO to the ton i'll gold.
Tho Pcnrod placcrs, owned by Den
yer parties, have Il surveyor and a
good force OF men working.
