When silver mining underwent eclipse,
the sister industry benefited by the use
of the whole of the complicated appara-
tus of men, money and machinery thrown
out of gear by the collapse of the silver
market. The experienced miners, trained
superintendent, careful chemists and ex-
pert mine managers of the silver camps
were compelled to seek new avenues OF
employment in the wake of the capital de-
parting from districts blighted by adverse
legislation. Those who could not get
positions went to work prospecting. The
parties of gold seekers WHO wandered over
the mountains in the autumn of 1895, were
as diverse in composition as the companies
of pioneers who sought Ell Dorado in the
chiefly in being better equipped with ex-
p~erience and endowed with a larger
knowledge of the ways in which an ore
deposit can be converted into a profitable
mine.
A year of steady development and Wig
orous exploration has told its story. Some
of it is conveyed through. the stubborn
testimony of statistics. some is suggested
amid the rhetorical confectionery of an ir-
responsible press. more of 1t is known TO
those who direct the machinery of an in
dustry whose unresting wheels are at the
mand of the capitalist. For the first
time the annua yield of gold exceeds in
money value that Of silver; for the first

such a source: but one of the dastardly
things about it is that no such ~organiza-

It Is a fabricated name designed to con-
6eal some blackguard or group of black
guards too cowardly to put their names
to the falsehoods which they promulgate,
This circular starts out by reminding
the voters that Mr.. Heintze was Sheriff

in 1856. It then goes on to assert that he
strained the powers of his office Sin aid

Not one fact or substitute for a FACT is
advanced in proof of this atrocious lie.

mere fact that Mr.. Heintze was Sheriff

causing internal hemorrhages. He was
found unconscious where he fell by a
hickman, who took him to Samuel
Kelly's residence, where he was identi-
fled and sent to his home. When he a
recovered consciousness he realized death
was imminent and sent for Instance, to
whom he was shortly to be married, and
babe her a last farewell.
Almost Immediately after he again lost
consciousness, and the physicians rave
pronounced him beyond hope Of recovery.
pr. Bennett is a young man. a graduate
OF a Philadelphia college. and came here
about three years ago. He was a bright
practitioner, and very popular both pro-
REASONABLY and socially.
