Trial hx Court Martial.

LEAvEEwoRTH, Kas., March 2s ~
The most conspicuous case that will
come before the general court martial,
which convened at Fort Leavenworth,
to-day. is that of the twelve privates
from Jefferson barracks. St. Louis,
who are charged with having given
perjured testimony before recent
trial board at the barracks. The ac-
cused men perjured themselves, j. is
alleged, in order TO shield some COM
panions in the ranks who were being
tried for petty breaches Of discipline.
As similar cases Of perjury have been
commonly reported from regular army
posts and garrisons lately it is believed
the accused privates, If they are found
guilty, will be made an example Of and
severely dealt with.

Correspondence New Mexican.
~ GOLDEN, N. NJ, March Is Tally
another one for Golden and Santa Fe
county. The richest strike Of all was
made last week.
A prospector named johnson came
into Golden last Thursday and ex.
hibited some ore that he had discov.
cred that day, which beats anything 80
far found in The camp. k
It is an oxidized yellow. ore--very
soft and crumples very easily. Your
correspondent was shown piece
Weighing three ounces, which CON-
tanned So worth OF the yellow stuff.
This piece was pulverized in mortar
and the gold actually washed out Of It,
was shown, also, another piece
which had become partially puIverized
from carrying itin the finders pocket,
and the puIverizsd portions were SO
rich that it appeared to be .ope-half
gold.
Take the first named piece and COM
,pute the value OF such ore per ton, and
you would have a result OF at least
$4,000 in gold. There Is no doubt
that the ore is immensely rich.
| will send the New Mericd,t q sam
pie Of the ore in few days, so that al
who desire to see sample Of Golden ts
riches, can do 50 by calling at the Of
flee.
This lead or vein is not wide. Mr..
johnson says 1t is four inches wide, all
very rich, but The very richest part,
such as the samples shown, is two1
inches in width.
This find is about two miles east oil
Golden on government land.
Mr.. johnson, being an experienced |
prospector, and being almost strang- |
y to the camp, coming here last win
Ter, says he will not tell just where hel
'Qund this ore, until he is positive he is
IN INDICATED ground, and that other
mining claims, previously located, do
lot conflict with the ground on which
10 has made this rich discovery, and
which he desires to locate and claim
~ reason thereof.
Where claims are located SO close to-
,ether, it is almost impossible to es-
'ect this ground to be entirely vacant.
i that the lucky finder can get full |
lam, in the part Of the camp where
is find is located. Half a claim is
nough, and should be. be on somal
ther miners claim, one yonid think 4,
Tat the owners of the older claim
hould be glad to make fair division
yith Mr.. johnson. Ii
Il have delayed reporting this strike,
oplng that Mr.. johnson would dis
lose the exact location of it, but have
oncluded to give the facts, as they ex-
i, and send further information later

In recent address to his old neigh

Gold has no commercial value. 1t sells for q
given price because the law fixes the price,
The ratio of gold and silver never deviated till
1873 and never was greater than sixteen to one.
There is no money In this country to-day but
fiat money. Gold and silver are only money by
reason OF the fat of the government. If we
have 50-cent silver dollar we have 50-cent
government and 60-cent party in charge.
Why Is silver not worth much In bullion
as in dollarsY Because you cannot have it
coined. II We had free coinage it would
be placed on parity with gold as it used
to be and the old dollar OF our daddies will
take care Of itself. We are referred to
Mexico Mexico floats q l00-cent dollar
when the United States floats q 2OO-cent dol
lar. In 1878 bushel OF wheat would buy
gold dollar. now it takes three bushels Of
wheat to buy it. We had free silver 81 years
and did not drive gold out of the country.
Gold never was so hard to keep in the country
as now. Grover Cleveland has gone over to
Mckinley. Lord pity the party. We have
lessened our per capita circulation and In
creased our debt. I thank the Lord love my
country enough to believe we are capable of
taking care Of ourselves. The continental
money was not payable in gold and with it we
Won our liberties We are the most independ-
ent nation on earth and If other countries
don't want our money we can do without their
