WILL HELP TO BEAT GORMAN Maryland Gold Dem mccrats to Support
 Republicans.

Washington, Oct. 14.-The sound money democrats of Maryland have decided to throw party pride to the winds and work with the republicans for the overthrow of German and free silver in that state This course has been adopted by the committee of seventy of the honest money demo- cratic league of the ate, and the league has adop5ed a dec aration of principles setting fo,h why it is to take tIis c3u.se to solid.fy the hon est money vote.
 The exact position of the league is best set forth in an interview with it's president, Harry A. Parr, in which he says: Last year the fight cen- tered on the presidency. This year it centers on the United States sen- ate. When you consider that If Ohio a-d Ma y and are ca ried for s3und money you have the senate tied be- tween silver and sound money, with the casting vote in the hands of the vice president, you will appreciate just how serious the situation is. If either enc of these states is lost no sound money financial legis. ation can fDC PoooOu, dllu dll Ol OuI WOTk OI last year will be held in check for two years, or until other states send sound mcnay senators sufcient to make a ma.o-ity in the sena5e.
 Ut is useless to listen to the idle talk heard that should the democratic ticket te elected a sound money sen- ator could be chosen to represent Maryland, When as our declaration of principles states, ma.o ity of the candidates on the democratic ticket are silver men. Can you expect them after election to vote for a go d dem ocrat to go to the senate?
 'fWhen in 1896 the party that had supported all my life, never having scratched ticket, passed from the control of those who had steered it along the lines of what I call true d5mo oeracy as laid down by Jackson, Jefferson and Tilden, took an active part in the campaign to save the na- tons credit. I would feel that I was wrong then or inconsistent now did not take the same action in 1897, when, as sated above, upon Mary land ress the responsibility of send. ing vote to the United States sen- ate' which may enable that body to pass the financial legislation for Wn-ch this league fought in 1S96.

THE STAR OF THE WEST.
An Old Summit County Property
 Newly Leased.

Denver, Oct. 14-Tha Star of the West mine near Montezuma, Summit county, in the Snake river mining district, has b5en bonded and leased by Go. John T. Grayson of this city. The mine is an old property with quite extensive developments but S nee the death of the owner some time ago has been operated by lessees who have gophered it badly. The de- velopments consist of ore tunnel 600 f5et long, another 4G0 feet and a third 20 feet long, all having reg ched the ore body, and a number of drifts on the veins. Col. Grayson has put a force of seven men at work clearing out the tunnels and drifts and will make thorough investigation of the ore deposits, develop ng them a. cord ng to e tablished rules. He has made a personal examination of the property and thinks he will be able to commence ore shipments in about three months Tests of the ere made in this city show an average value Of $29s to the ton in gold The lease and bond run for two years.

The following from the Santa Ma r1a in Yavapai county is printed by the Journa1-Miner:
 Everything in and around this s5c- tion is moving at 3 lively pace and the coming winter promises o see a greater revival Gn mining than ever experienced before.
 In line with our progress Is the 1etting of contract by MT. Rankin to build five miles Cf road from the Standard mine to the Waters mill and when completed 1,000 tons of ore from the Standard will be ready f3r treatment. Many teamstars are here anxious 10 bid on the ore haul ing contract.
 A noteworthy occurrence Is the number of new arrivals in this sec tion of late, and the starting of real estate boom in the new town above the Waters mill.
 A tld-weekly stage is now in Dper- ation from here to Congress Junction, twenty-seven miles distant, and wh ch win the long line of freight teams gives the old road lthe appearance of life again.
 A great am punt of mining material is coming in for var ous people, indi- eating that work generally is to take place on the claims owned.
 New discoveries are reported and in many instances the finds are very rich.
 IA petition with over 100 names Of bona f1de residents will be sent in for the establishment of a money or der postoffice, and for the honor Of holding a government snap there is any kind of timber from the moss back Hassayamper to the gold bug democrat.
 The selection of 3 nare that would be proper for tiue~x1 e5t1cl.go..fs ef the Santa Maria, and Eerve likewise to bring this section Into a position its prominence in minerals calls for, is being earnestly agitatad. Klondyke has so far the preference and no doubt the Arizona map will soon have lit tie yellow spot tha. will catch the eye and guide the investor accordingly. i
 I believe we are in a region that offers the most excellent inducements for the investment of money and from what is to be seen and from what can learn, boom is among the pos- abilities.
 MT. Rankin is here personally di- rsoting work on the Waters and oth- CT claims, and preparing to receive the machinery for the new plant.

 A syndicate of capitalists, h5adet
 by ex-Gov. Barney Gibbs of Texas
 has had an expert for the past week
 at Nogales investigating the mines 1 there with view of investing ir
 them. Large quantities of ore have
 been found that run in gold from i S1,000 tc $60,0)0 per ton. The Amsr-
 ican company has ore enough in S ght
 to keep it running for six months and | is only down 150 feet- There are nu
 merous other new mines that are as
 promising as the American.
 A novel scheme for han Hing the
 gold output of the Cripple Creek
 mines will be put into use by the op- 1 orators of that district. The plan ts to set aside the output for one month, take the bullion therefrom and ship 1 it to the United States mint at Phil adelphla in a single consignment A sp- cal train will be secured for the purpose of transporting it, the bull Ton will be placed in charge of some express company which can guarantee it's safety and all necessary precal1- tfons taken to prevent accident or th f. while the ns.gnment is in transt As the present output Of Cripple Creek is over $1,000,OOO per month this will be or,e of the larg- est shipments of gold bulon that eVsr crossed the continent.
 The Arizona Republ can indicates that when it comes to pay rolls the souh is r.ctly 'in it." It says the pay roll of the Copper Queen com Tany exposed on Saturday ind.c ed that 1000 men received checks that day. These were cashed at the com pany's sore or other places in town. Taking these 1000 checks, it is fair to presume that they represented 5 90 O. Besides the above, Il is safe to say that the railway, which Is controlled by the Copper Queen, has a ray roll Of 100 men, and the stores will not fall shor5 of employing fl ty men, boys, women ard girls, so that the comapny pays 1,150 men every tenth day of the month The whole outlay on the wage account, if the manager and ether officials are put on the list, is fully $35, Western Mining World
 Carl Kuntz came up from the head Of Peoples valley a few days since with some samples Of what is known as ribbon quartz. which was vey rich in coa,sa gold While TO assays were made of the ore it was estimated that it would run away over $1,0OO per ton. The claim S To- cated near the Monte Cristo mine, property in which Mr. Kuntz was for mer1y interested but which was re- gently sod. While the ledge crops cut very boldly it has ben tramped over for years by prospec 5ors and oth- CTS, without tempting them, appar- ently, to investigate it to find what it might ooatain. The ledge is from four cen to twenty-five feet wide, but of course it does not carryrthis high grade ore clear across it. MT. Kuntz has men engaged now doing he title work to this claim and he has taken a trip east. This new discovery has attracted great many peonle to that section already.-Journal-M Miner.

It Has Rean Sold to an English Com
 pany.

Hermosillo, Mex, Oct 1.-The Mu- latos mine, one of the most noted gold properties of Sonora located about seventy miles southeast of this city, has been sold to English capitalists for s1,000,000 gold. The property h2s been worked by rude methods for a century or more, the free god ores being carried out in baskets on the backs of peons and reduced by the cTudest means. The new company Is to put in new reduction works and is to open up the mine according to the most approved mining methods. This will be a difficult task, as the ore has heretofore been quarried out, leaving grea ohs mb rs, many of which have caved in. The mine has been in spected by Colorado experts, who are unanimous in their opinion that 1t can be made one of the greatest bul~ lion producers of the continent.

A report comes from Topeka, Kas.,
that Kansas stockmen are complain
ing because railroads are refusing to
furnish transportation to shippers of
stock. The Kansas legislature at its
last session enacted a law requiring
railroad companies to furnish rail
road transportation to live stock ship
pers to the destination of the ship
ment and return. Each single car
of stock could be accompanied by
one man and each additional three
cars secured transportation for one
man. It is believed that the anti
pass agreement recently revived by
the railroads caused this contraction
in the giving of free transportation.
