This is Thanksgiving day, but the people
in the mining regions have little to ejoice
over but we hope the old saying "The
darkest hour is before dawn" will prove true
to our silver mining camps.
One of the best advertisements that could
be prepared for Lincoln County is the report
of Assessor Prudential. just completed.
The number of inqui ries from outside
points as to available lands in this section
of the state, their character, nature Of the
products, etc. have been so great during the
past year that the Assessor has secured per.
nilsson from the Board Of Commissioners to
have printed one thousand copies of his
report which will be sent out hereafter in
answer to such general inquiries.
This ia good idea, for in the southern
part of the country we have thousands
of acers of land with good water right,
capable of sustaining large population.
The semi-tropical nature of the climate
makes it desirable section in which to
live, nature does wonders almost for the in.
habitsnts in the valley. while the mountain
ranges with reasonable prospectig. are sure
to develop rich mines Several gold belts,
already know to exist, are held by claimants
and nave been for years. but the product
will not bear the heavy transportation
charges existing. 1t is the section also
through which the railroad surveys have
been projected, and the fact that the noun.
tain ranges there afford a natural pass
age without heavy grading, for railroad,
makes it almost certain that the next trans
continental line will build to Calfornis
across the area.

those men who will vote for the
democratic candidate. In so doing
it cannot be said that they are
scratching the democratic ticket,
for it cannot be claimed that this
hybrid affair is one."
Now what could please Mark
Hanna and the gold-bugs better
than this! Democrats to scratch
populist electors, and populists to
scratch democratic electors. If
enough of this is done, of course
the Mckinley electors will be elect
ed. This is what the Observers
advice would lead to. Is this
what the Observer desiresg If
any so-called democrat wants to
scratch populist elector, let him
do it. He will simply prove that
he is the agent of Mckinley in dis
guisc. But populists are not
made of that kind of stuff. Every
one will vote the Joint electoral
ticket, because every one wants the
defeat of the Mckinley electoral
ticket. The Charlotte Observer
has now found a chance to elect
Mckinley, but no populist will be-
come partner of the Observer
and its gold-bug schemes"
Mayor Strong of New York
city refuses to allow stand to be
built in the city for Mr.. Bryan to
speak from. This is the first
time that the Mayor of New York
has ever refused to allow a stand
to be put up for any public speak

than it hurts. The American peo-
pie believe in fair play, and the
gold men will make no converts
by trying to stiflc free speech.
Mayor Strong said few weeks
ago that Mr.. Bryan made votes
for the gold men wherever he
spoke, but now he bellies his own
words. He is afraid for Mr., Bry-
an to tell the truth to the people of
New York who have so long been
kept in the dark by the gold-bug
press:
