SOUTH PASS TIMES.
Great Activity in That Portion of
Wyoming

'SEecihi 10 I M Herald
SOUTH PASS CITY. Wyo.. June 10
There is great activity in mining on
erations in this region and the mines
of Fremont county promise a prosper-
Gus season. A large number of pros
peotors and miners are at work and
the various camps of the South Pass
mining district resemble the flush DAYS
of the early mining excitement. At the
National Park company's claims a.
force OF men started work on Monday
putting down a. shaft at the Big Sioux
mine. The shaft is now down 7s feet
and is in a very rich body of ore.
1t viii be continued down until the
100 foot mark is reached, when cross
cutting will commence to cut the veins
south and north Of the shaft. big
return for the season is looked for
from this property.
The Phoenix mine, owned by George
Kingston. adjoins the National Park
company's properties and is being
worked with like promising results.
A cyanide plant is being placed on the
property and the tailings from the
Garfield mill will also be worked
f. B. Sheldon is placing a cyanide
plant below the Carlisle mill to work
the tailings from the old workings.
The discovery of the cyanide process
Of treating ores promises to work a
revolution in this camp. A great
many of the veins. contain low grade
ore with occasional pockets of great
richness. In the early days when the
district was first mined thousands of
tons Of low grade ore went on the
dumps as waste, as it did not pay to
treat it. There is a big profit now in
working this ore by the cyanide pro
cess, and these old ore dumps AMI the
tailings from old mills are being bought
up and leased and good money made
by the parties putting in the new pro-
cess for working them

BOARD OF BATTERIES.
A Report Has Been Handed to the
Navy Department.


WASHINGTON, June 1S-The re-
port of the board of batteries on bat
ueships, of which Admiral Walker is
president, has been handed to the navy
department. The report shows that
the board considered with much care
and in great detail the whole subject
Of battleships.
AS a result of this investigation it
recommends a slightly different ship
with somewhat different arrange
ment of battery from any which has
been heretofore built. While speaking
very favorably of the superimposed
turret as designed for the Kearsarge
and the Kentucky, the board does not
recommend installing more turrets of
this description until the experiments
with the two ships named have dem
onstrafed their utility, The hull rec
commended for the ship is like that of
the Kearsarge and Kentucky, but SO
modified as to be similar in many re-
spects to the Iowa The main battery
recommended is composed of four 49,
inch and fourteen 6-inch guns, so
arranged as to fire two 13-inch and
four 6-inch guns directly ahead, two
13-inch and two 6-inch directly aStern
and four 13-inch and seven 6-inch in
broadside.
1t is believed by the department that
the ship outlined as above will be an
Improvement upon any yet built in
this country.

A Few Shining Lights Hold an In
formal Meeting.
ST. LOUIS, June 13.-Mr. Platt. Ed
ward Lauterbach, Hamilton Fish.
State Chairman Hackett and a, few
other shining lights of the Morton
boom, held an informal meeting in Mr..
Platt's room tonight Mr.. Lauterbach
presented the plank which he believed
would best demonstrate New YorlS's
ldea OF gold standard and also pre-
sented one drawn by William j. Arkell,
and which was given to Mr.. Lauter-
bach by John A. Sleicher, with a, re-
quest that it be introduced in the order
of resolution. The one recites yolumin-
DUSTY for gold; the other is for gold
tersely and without verbiage. Mr..
Platt stroked his beard and fumbled
with the writing material on the table.
Dut made no comment. Mr. Lauter-
bach said afterwards:
We are for a clear elucidation of
the gold standard. and the length of
my plank is for the purpose of pre-
venting straddqing or misinferpretatio
in any manner
Wnen the Associated Press reporter
saw MI. Platt at the closing of the
conference, he was not inclined to be
communicative as to his plans. To
volGey OF questions, he made this terse
and significant reply:
Whether we accomplish what we
came for or not, we can at least take
the credit of carrying one of our great
est points'-we have forced them to
accept a gold standard plank"
Inere was disposition at New York
headquarters tonight to look with cold
ness upon Delegate at Large Depew
and regard him as not a consistent fol-
lower of Mr.. Morton, but strange to
say, at Mckinley headquarters am ex-
Depew was looked upon as a. leader of
the New York delegates. Chairman
Hackett discounted Mr. Depew,s state
ment as to Governor Morton's declina-
ton of the vice presidency by saying:
governor Morton's private secretary
gave me that information at the re-
quest of Governor Morton several DAYS
ago, and 1 told it to Mr. Pfatt.',

ONLY SIX LEFT.
All That Remains of a Colony of Sew
eral Hundred People.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 13.-Six peo-
ple-destitute and discouraged people
are all that now remain Of the COLONY
OF the Vermont and Massachusetts
people, comprising several hundred
families who emigrated eight wears
ago to Topolabampo, or the Mexican
coast.
The steamer Coos Bay, which has
just arrived from various southern
ports, put into the little harbor al the
mouth of the Fuertes river, the near
est coast point to Topolabampo. Tt was
the first steamer seen by the few in
habitants in over two years. Captain
Jansen reports that every man, woman
and child who could possibly get out
OF the desolate country has emigrated
long since and are probably still de-
ploring their foolhardiness in listening
to the tales of people who lured them
away from comfortable homes to a
region of rocks and sand, where little
or no water exists and nothing will
grow. The six white people who re-
main are there, he says, simply be-.
cause they cannot get out.

DENVER, March 17.-The Denver

Guiding paragraphs, to communication
received from the New York chamber of
commerce: 1--WE take issue with the as
sertion that a continuance of the agita-
tion in favor of the free coinage OF sill
yer has resulted in an enormous or any
cost to the government. or that it stands
in the way of the revival of the confidence
and national prosperity. Public obliga-
tions are payable in coin of the standard
value of July ID. 1870. Congress and
attorneys general have officially declared
them to be so payable. Observance of the
law by administrative officers in the
public interest would have made gold

issues unnecessary and bond syndicates

greenbacks to buy gold to buy bonds

ducers to borrow and to circulate among

curities, who, deploring their issue, de-
mands more of them, those who believe
the nation can expand only by lettering
its limbs with gold, those who would de-
privo the government OF It's paper issues
and those who denounce agitation be-
cause they fear it.
1--WE are in full accord with the senti-
ment that the time is past for any halt
ing, or doubtful phrases to express the
meaning OF political parties upon any puD-
lie question. Equivocation will not satisfy
the requirements of the hour. The issue
is between the producers of wealth aud
the manipulators of exchange. Pros
perity is impossible without sufficient
and stable money circulation. This
can only be secured by the free coinage
of gold and silver. By destroying the
latter we have placed bounty upon the
the staple products of silver using lands
and compelled them to manufacture teF
themselves. They are progressive; we
are stationary. We cannot improve our
condition by praising an honest money
that is dishonest, or by denounc-
ing a cheap currency that is
not cheap. We earnestly invite
the cooperation of all in the effort TO
convince the people that the free coinage
of gold and silver is the primary essen
tial to permanent improvement and that
the continued degradation of silver can
| only benefit our foreign competitors, the
lenders, the annuitants. the possessors OF
fixed incomes; and must ultimately de-
stroy as it now seriously I'M jures the well

How the Anti-McKinley Candi-
dates at st. Louis
Propose to Slaughter the Nc
= Kinley Delegates
BY BOGUS CONTESTS.
Republican Bosses Will Seek to
Defeat the Will
OF the Party Which Cries Aloud
for It's Hero.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 1.-THE
anti Mckinley men are now planning to
stir up as many contests as possible,
hoping by this means to lessen the
Ohioan's strength at the start and ac-
complish his defeat in the end. The
value of this plan of procedure is easily
apparent. When the national convention
meets at ST. Louis there will be a great
fight over the temporary organization
and the appointment of the committee
on credentials. If Mr.. Mckinley con-
t8oIs 456 votes he will have plain sailing.
fir friends can name the tenn mporary and
permanent officers, and the report of the
committee on c-edentials. no matter how
fair or unfair 1t may be, will be adopted.
The Mckinley delegations will all
be seated, and the vote by which he
will be nominated will be Increased
to that extent.
All this is dependent however, upon
the presumption that Mckinley will
go into convention with q ma ~rity
outside of the contested cases. No
body-not even the most ardent
Mckinley man-regards this outcome
,as at all likely. He NAV get $50 votes.
but this is his limit The result will
be- therefore, that when it comes TO set
tling the fate of the contested delega-
tions. all the anti McKinleyites will
combine and the Mckinley men will find
themselves marked out for slaughter
This is the present plan of campaign of
>Ghe opponents of Mr.. Mckinley. They
regard it already as equivalent to de-
feating him for the nomination
On the other hand, however the Nc
KinIey men, anticipating these tactics.
are gathering evidence of the election
of their delegations with such care and
detail that any attempt at high handed
proceedings against him will arouse a
scandal which the convention, they
claim, will not be able to stand.
