spoke of his testimony of the truth of
the gospel which the Saints we're pro-
pagating. If Saints, ne said did not
march to the music of the gospel, they
would be sorry for it. The people must
fight for the church, and then they
would be good citizens and good neigh

The Saints had always stood for the
constitution, which they believed to
have been inspired by God, and would
always do so.
With an apparent reference to Presi-

conclusions: L thank God that the

ELnER SPENCER.

Elder CIaudius V. Spencer made the
first address in the afternoon. He re
ferred to the many prophecies in the
Old Testament which had been fulfilled
by the work performed by the Latter
day Saints. He considered the work of
the saints to be a marvellous work and
a wonder, and referred to the gather
ing as one of its distinctive features
Elder Spencer referred to the ex-
clusion of the Mornons from the con-
gress of religions few years ago. on
the ground that the Mormons did not
constitute a Christian sect. The ex-
clusfon of Elder Roberts. as the Tepres-
entattve of the church. on that occasion
was Illogical and wrong. The saints
were fulfilling the prophecies of the an
cient men of Cod they upheld The pin
ciple of baptism by immersion. and
were teaching many divine truths of

church dare not speak freely from this
stand, unless they wish to face the
criticism of many members of the
church.
Il have been asked what President
Woodruff meant when he spoke recent
ly from this stand He meant that we
should unite in municipal government
and hurI from power the men who are
burdening US with excessive taxation
But he meant that we should cling TO
our party. Republicans and Democrats.
that we should not lose our indeDend-
ence but be men and women worthy
Of tine franchise we have received. He
meant thai We should sustain men and
women for o1ice in the municipal gov
ernment who would seek the prosperity
of the people ana not their enslayement
by extravaganza and excessive taxa
ton.
What, it is asked, did he mean by
speaking of our being united in state
as well as municipal affairs? Any one
of you can better answer that question
than I when you are 81 years of age
and a prophet of God. He means as a
prophet and apostle to lead US 10 pros

influence of Almighty God"

nent, if you are the father Of a family,

that family, if you live in communion
with God and obey his counsel"
Elder Cannon then spoke of questions
of morality. and criticised the saints for
not living in accordance with the word
of wisdom, and on account of the fdcil-
ity with which they break the Sabbath
day. 1t was necessary that there should
be temptations but the Saints should
reject them.
The saints, he said, should be guided
socially. morally and politically, and
should always obey the apostles.

I;cjuvenation OF n Library.

Congressional Library rooms in the Capitol

wipe out of existence a place held in fond
memory by thousands of book lovers. It was
rather q quaint place i'll some ways, shut off
as 1T was from the busy parts of the building
and high above and situate back from the
bustling street.
Dozens of times each day each one Of the
Capitol guides paced with measured step
adown the long reading room. followed by a
troop of sight-seers. The guide in sing sOng
voice detailed the wonderful history of the
library, and pointed upward with familiar
gesture towards the galleries, so crowded
with books that they seemed about to break
down under the pressure. The visitors
looked with interest at the students at the
tables, and were often so curious as to peep
over their shoulders at the books. The room
was always quiet but for the footsteps of the
Assistant Librarians on busy chase after
volumes for readers, or the sonorous voice of
Librarian Spofford rs he expoundcd book lore
to some member OF Congress or gave per-
emptory order to an assistant. Occasionally
the doors of one of the numerous alcoyes that
line the place would be heard to click, and
a clerical-lOoking individual would appear
from the recesses made by piles of books and
potter away on some GRAND bent. The at

CLUB-RAISlhG
MADE EASY.

DEAR COMRADES:
Each old or present subscriber who
gets us one or more new subscribers
during the month of September will
receive, postpaid, two books, "The Can
noneer" and Capturing Locomotive"
The new subscribers will also receive
them, and the promise of these two great
books makes it an easy matter to get their
subscriptions.
These books will be withdrawn posi-.
lively on Oct. 1 therefore, you had
better start the club at ouce.
We know how highly you esteem
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE and how you
work for it, keeping it ahead of most all
other weekly papers in point of cireula-
ton. We know, too, how surprised
some of you are, at times, to run across
people who do not fully appreciate Thu
TRIBUNE-who, indeed, are inclined to
dispute your statement that it is the best
paper on the face of the earth.
Well, there are such people. But LET
us tell you this: If you once get them
to take the paper, they soon come around
to your opinion and subscribe year aftei
year with great regularity.
Now this situation suggests remedy,
Why not offer subscribers such Big IN
dtcements that the club-raiser will sue
coed with every person solicited?
With this end in view We have
made the offer you will see elsewhere
ON this page of giving two large books
"The Cannoneer and Capturing a
Locomotive" to everyone who sub
scribes during the month of September
We intend, also, to send these two
books with every premium sent to
club-raiser. That is, in addition to tha
premium he works for and earns, whether
it be large or small, we will send these
two books as present. We never forget
old friends when cutting 4 watermelon.
Surely this makes Embarrassing easy.
All you have to do with persons solicited
to subscribe is to show them the paper
and its attractions, describe the free
books Cor let them read about them in
the paper, and take their dollars
Remit the dollars, with their full adj
dresses, to us, and we will do the rest:
that Is, we will send to each address the.
two books at once and the paper for a.
year, and to you we will send the books
also, and the premiums, all postpaid.
All comrades who are at present
working for clubs may offer these two
books to each subscriber. This enables
them to promptly complete the clubs-
they are working for, however large.
Comrades, Just try for clubs now.
You will surely succeed.

cumulations-late corners must content
themselves with reworking the waste of the
first discoveries, always great, or 60 ahead
and slowly and laboriously initiate Natures
processes by mining the veins and crushing
the rock with stamp mills. New gold
camps are almost invariably poor mans
diggings."
This is the case now up in the Klondike
country, and the hardy miners who are BRAY
ing the inclement climate of the worst
country in the world, are Swimming the
cream of Natures wealth. Later the coun-
try will be the scene of action OF great
corporations.
In prospecting for these placer depos-
it's, as they are called the underlying princ-
pie is always the same. that gold will not
travel as far as sand. In the river beds the
loose sand is kept constantly stirred by the
current and the gold sinks till it reaches a
bedrock or Il stratum of clay. For this
reason practically all the gold will be found
on bedrock aud the material above is bar
rem.
Pot-holes and depressions in the rock
where the current is not too violent are
favorable places. The coarse gold is always
up near the mountains whence it came, but
fine gold travels farther. Places where a
gulch or river makes an abrupt bend are
often worthy of investigation. In such cases
the gold is usually on the concave side of the
bend next the lower slope.

deposits The washing is done with a pan
Just as described previously, except that
after the fine clay is washed out the large
pebbles are picked ont by hand. Where
deposits are extraordinarily rich working is
done in the same way-one man washing
while another brings him material. A
quicker and less expensive way, however,
is The use of the cradle or rocker. This is

mounted on two rockers, so that it may be
given rocking motion from side to side.
