The refusal of more than a hundred
of the leading democratic newspapers of
the country to support the Chicago
platform and ticket, says the Toledo
Blade, will prove serious handicap to
the Bryan campaign. The influence Of
the press means much more now than
It did twenty or even ten years ago.
Political campaigns are no longer fought
out by stump speakers and torch light
professions. The campaign orator ad.
dressed crowd OF more than two thou
sand at one point one day and greater
or less crowd at some other point the
next day. The newspaper speaks day
after day to its tens Of thousands of
readers. They look to it not only for
news, but for it's opinions and these
opinious gradually become the opinions
of the individual. The press and not
the platform orator 10 the great educator.
The loss Of the leading newspapers Of
the country b an irreparable one to the
democratic party. Thousands Of dem.
ocratic votes will 60 with their party
organs. Lacking newpaper support the
democratic cause must Ianeuish. 1t Il
factor which will make the defeat ol

B. +. Salmon returned yesterday from
Kansas City, near which point the re
fnery is located, where some ten days
since he and Dave Morgan went with a
shipment of ore from the Reddy mine
which is located here in Lead. Their
trip was a very satisfactory as we'll as
profitable one. Their richest ore of which
they had 2.75O pounds, will net them
little upwards of ten thousand dollars to
the ton. Their next grade of ore, of
which they had several tons, while not
quite so rich was equally satisfactory

The mining outlook in the immediate
vicinity of Custer has never been so
bright as it is at this writing. The
same may be said of other districts of
the Hills which is a very gratifying fact,
and perhaps more generally credited
than the proposition first stated. The
press of the northern Hills report the
recent discovery of ore bodies of fabu-
lous richness, yielding as high as ten
thousand dollars to the ton, and no one
questions the validity of their claims.
1t is different here. The most important
discovery ever made in this district was
recently given publicity through the
medium Of the CHRONICLE without Great
ing even the faintest ripple of excite
ment. This is by no means surprising.
1t would indeed be surprising ifit were
otherwise. While We are fully con-
yinced of the merits of our mineral
deposits, we may not reasonably expect
that the world will imbibe our naked
statements in the absence of any pro-
duction of mineral whatever. 1t is easy
to believe that veins of phenomenal
richness may be found in a camp like
Lead. with large, continuous and in
creasing output, but to try tc convince
the world that there is any merit
in the mines of twenty year old
non producing camp by any declaration,
however positive and emphatic such
declarations may be made, is the acme
of folly. 1t is simply impossible. The
world. or that portion of it that is in
possession of capital. accepts nothing
without the proof. and relies only upon
the demonstration of propositions of
this character. Nothing short of the
actual profitable production of gold will
convince the outside world of the pres.
ence Of the yellow metal in payable
quantity in this district. and We await
| with firm and increasing hope the
demonstration of the truth Of our past
declarations With reference to the sur
passing merits of our mines, which
declarations are now, and will doubtless
continue for time to be accepted with
large grain of allowance. Fully salts
fed by careful study Of the situation
that this camp will, before the close Of
the current year. attract attention as q
gold producer, we are content to wait
and let time determine what We now
declare that. it has never been anything
short of the undiluded truth we haye
been telling about our mines, which in
the early gilded hence may be relied
upon to speak for themselves.

PRISGLE MINING NOTES.

Work is being continued in the shaft
on the Gray Copper mine near Pringle
and fair progress is being made. The
ore encountered maintains its charac-
ter, there being no perceptible change
at the present depth. The tunnel
being run at Demereau noun
tain is progressing satisfactorily. The
tunnel being run with view to tapping
four distinct veins at depths varying
from % to 80 feet, and it is expected
that the first vein will be encountered
about the latter part of next week. The
promoters of these mining enterprises,
which are both under the same manage
ment, are very confident of successful
results, which confidence is said to be
fairly warranted by the numerous tests
which have been made upon the oi es
embraced in the mammoth veins now
in course of development.

THE EMPIRE.

Active operations with view to the
thorough development of this very
promising property, located p miles
northwest of the city, is in progress,
night and day shifts being employed.
II is the purpose of the owners to con-
tlnue the main shaft, now in progress,
to depth that will be ample in the de-
termination Of the character and value
of the vein, which, measured by present
apparent indications, would justify the
fondest hopes of its owners in the mat
ter Of successful results.

25 feet in width, and of fair average
grade. Power drills driven by an air
compressor are in use advancing the
tunnel and drifts from it. Twenty
stamps of the go in the company's mill
were Sc. il motion last month and 90
more on Saturday last. All Of the ma
chinery is driven by water. A large
Pelton wheel with all late improvements
was put in gosition short time ago. and
does its work to perfection. While the
ore now exposed is Of low grade it will
pay profit by reason of the economical
facilities at hand for Its reduction. The
company propose to run another tunnel
1860 feet into the mountain on level
with the crusher floor Of the mill.
When this is done the cost Of mining
and milling it is estimated will not ex-
ceed 80 or go cents per ton.-Times.

Trick /. Souths hand is of little value un-
less he can bring in the club suit. He is liable
to lose one trick by leading low instead of
ace, but the command of the suit may be of
great value to him.
Trick 3. North can read the entire club suit.
Neither adversary has called, since West has
opened up with a plain suit and East has fol-
lowed with the deuce. ALI the clubs under
the six, therefore, are in Souths hand; and,
since he would not have led low from X, j,
10 and so many small cards, his three cards
above the six are A, j, 10. The K is, ac-
cordingly, bare in the hands OF enc of the ad-
versaries.
North therefore leads trumps to make the
clubs If possible. As the is turned South
plays 10, and returns Q in the next trick.
West plays the for the purpose of mis-
leading South into the IDEA that the final COM
mand of trumps is with East, and If possible
dissuading him from returning the lead.
Trick z. North, having exhausted the
trumps, returns the c. 9, and South reaps the
reward of the patience and foresight texhibited
by his original low lead.
And the overplay shows loss OF six tricks.

double purpose of informing his partner with
certainty that the clubs are all with him and
inviting him to carry on the cross ruff. North
accordingly outtrumps the turn card and re-
turns hearts to force South.
Trick 8. North again trumps high in order

forcing with the diamond.
Trick 10. West trumps with his best trump
