MINERAL RESOURCES.
Dennis Sullivan Thinks of the
County.


Orrin Allen, son of Judge Allen OF
Denver, is in the city. Mr.. Allen
has been looking over some of our
mining districts with view of de-
termining what their possibilities are,
and he is well pleased with what he
has seen.
Talking of the mineral showing
made here Mr. Allen said yesterday
that, if such districts we're in the vi
cinity of Denver they would swarm
with people. With the Colorado
spirit and enterprise here, the min
ing resources of this section, he said,
would make Boise city of 100, 900
people.
Mr. Allen has devoted particular
attention to Washington county
There he found a number Of Colorado
prospectors who have made some
very good discoveries. They have
not said anything about the results
Of their work, but they have claims
that are very promising The sam
Piles taken by Mr.. Allen were found
to bear out the claims made by the
prospectors. In other words, they
have not been deceiving themselves
and consequently are in a position to
talk to investors in way that will
command attention Mr.. Allen said
a difficulty that he met with was that
prospectors take picked specimens
and report the result as an average oil
a pay streak This always prejudces
the investigator against property
as such an one does not care to spenC
much time over claim that the own
ers so greatly overrate. Mr. Aler
is connected with Dennis Sullivan o
Denver, the famous mining man, ant
is looking out for property for him
1t was on his report that Mr. Sulli
van and Judge Allen recently visitc,
Washington county. They fount
some gold property there that pleased
them, and if first impressions ar
borne out by subsequent invcstiga
tions they may take hold of som
claims.
Mr.. Allen has inspected the Seve
Devils district and states that in hi
opinion it would become a heavy pre-
duccr il opened up. Mr. Sulliva
was so well pleased with it that h
would have been willing to take hol
of the leading properties there if the
could have been secured.
The visitor will leave today fc
Washington county to continue hi
inspection of properties there.

chairman of tile national committee

nitcent scale He has beaten Fora.

cation He has whipped Governor
Bushnell into his shafts and, having
everything under his control presi-
dent, congress, governor, national
committee, state Communicable is
about TO confront the people for the
first time in a campaign that involves
his own candidacy
His first step was taken when Chair
man Fitzslmmons of the populist
organization announced that there
would be a populist slate convention.
Mr.. Hanna has boasted that he would
have populist ticket in the field,
with money to support it, But de-
mocracy has practically absorbed the
whole populist strength and sepa.
rate movement is recognized as the
work of Mr.. Hanna. On the other
hand, the democrats are encouraging
a strong prohibition campaign.
The truth OF the matter is that
when all disguises are thrown aside
the campaign is becoming duel to
the death between Mark Hanna and
John r. Mclean, the two most des.
perate fighters in Ohio. As rivals
for the United States senate, they
will exhaust their resources.

HE WAS A GOLD BUG.
And Yet He Had Never Seen Five
Dollar Gold Piece.


Winnemucca Silver State.
Thomas Shone of the Busch hotel
had an amusing experience with a
fair sample of an eastern goldbug
yesterday morning. Several passen-
gers of one of the Christian Endeavor
trains took breakfast at the hotel,
among them being one with the APP
pearance and manners of q down
town eastern business man. At the
table this individual aired his views
on political questions, and was es-
pecially loud in his denunciation of
the silver lunatics He illustrated
his argument to his fellow passengers
in the following manner:
"Supposing," said Mr. Goldbug,
''we had free silver and ! should
tender the proprietor of this hotel a
five dollar gold piece 10 pay for this
break fast for myself and wife. He
would give me four dollars in change
in silver Now, mind you, these
dollars would be worth only fifty
cents each or two dollars in all.
Therefore | would he paying three
dollars for the meal Wouldn't it be
case of lcgalized rohbery?'
: "Outrageousl Shameful" echoed
several Of his listeners, and the talk
went on in similar strain until the
meal WAS over Mr.. Goldbug ther
hustled mp to the counter with al
important air and threw ten dollal
bill down Mr. Shone handed hin
back five dollar gold piece aud fou
silver dollars as change Mr. Gold

ton overspread his face and he loud

THE FIGHT IN OHIO.
Mark Hama's Struggle to Keep the
State for Gold.
GIANTS IN CONFLICT.


There will be terrific fight in
Ohio this fall between Mark Hanna
and John X. Mclean for the United
States senatorship. Looked at from
this distance, it would seem to be
anybody's fight One thing is sure.
Mark Hanna will have no walk away.
Mr.. Mclean is very able man, and
he has money as well as Mark Hanna.
And its money that counts in these
pinching days of purity and patri-
otism. - Boise Call
James Creelmau, writing on the
subject, says:
With the single exception of Cleve-
lands campaign against Folger in
New York, | do not recall an instance
in which there has been such sweep
ing change in the fortunes of party
in such u short time. Go into the
Ohio cities and you will find the
streets filed with idle, hungry men
Go into the country, and the farmers
will tell you that Mr.. Hanna and his
friends in the senate have given
80, 600, 600 to 40, 600, 600 of dollars
to the sugar trust out Of the pockets
Of the people, while the farms in
Ohio cannot be sold for the price of
the mortgages on them Many of
the banks in Ohio are going out Of
business or are being consolidated
with other banks.
The feeling against Hanna is bitter
beyond words to express. He is the
god of the successful, the champion
and defender Of the trusts and mon.
opolies which have gradually closed
up the avenues of independent enter
prise and pressed the toiers OF tn,
country so hard that state socialism
has raised its confused head among
reputable labor organizations.

nine dollars, said Mr. Shone.
"No, sir, shouted Mr. Goldbug,
'You have given me only four silver
dollars and miserable penny, and
demand four dollars, ninety
cents more.l
Mr. Shone at once saw the mistake
the excited Hannaite had made and
quietly informed him that the sup
posed copper cent was a five dollar
gold piece Of Uncle Sans coinage.
The other passengers crowded around
to get a glimpse of the coin which,
after some argument, WAS finally ac-
cepted by Mr. Goldbug, He had
learned one thing, at least, by his
western trip.

THE BRIBERY.

The bribery developments at Boise
compose a startling political scanda
which disgraces the state, but which
at the same time is only what was
known to be going on by all observ-
ers during the senatorial contest. Ii
does not augur well for our system
when the glitter of gold can work
such debauchery in the machinery oil
the body polite, not only in Idaho,
but on all hands in the common
wealths which are component parts OF
this country. The investigation may
end in smoke rs far rs practical re-
suits and legal proof is concerned,
but the public has little doubts in its
mind rs 10 the truth of the business
as a whole. The investigating COM
mittee has been given full powers to
employ counsel, subpoena witnesses
or anything else necessary, but in
these cases it is almost impossible to
get other than circumstantial evil
dence.

spicuously evident during the sena-
toral contest, gives some interesting
testimony regarding one Wooley, u
