EXTENSIVE PLACER MINING
Huge Dredgss Will Dig Up Gold
Laden Sand in Rogue River.

Tacoma, Wash, June 4.-One of the
greatest placer mining projects ever heard
of in this country is being put into exc
cution here. The Prescott Placer Dredg-
ing company was incorporated yesterday
with capital stock of $3.50. 900 to build sew
eral big dredges which will be worked on
the rich gold-bearing sands of Rogue
River, Oregon. Since the days Of 1849
Rogue river has been noted for its golden
riches, and over $6, 900 900 has been taken
from its banks. Experiments show that
its banks and bottom now average 15c to
81 in gold per cubic yard.
+ With Bowers hydraulic dredges, similar
to those used by Lyndenbatee in Chicago
and on the Mississippi river. gold be
extracted for less than 10c per yard,
leaving big profits, as one dredge can
throw up 1000 cubic yards in twenty-four
hours. 1t is estimated that the company
can readily make $1,000 per day. Water
rights to dig up the bottom and contracts
with owners of land have been secured.
The first dredge is now being made ready
here, and will be towed to Rogue river,
which is navigable thirty miles. The
company includes G. H. Prescott, for
merly vice president of the Northern Pa
cifc railroad, and Alonzo Bowers of San
Francisco inventor of the dredge. Next
season dredges will be sent to the Yukon
river, Alaska.

A GREAT REMEDY.
For Sufferers From Piles.

DR.. Redmond, a specialist in the
study and treatment of Piles and rec
tai diseases, recently stated that the
Pyramid Pile Cure, the new discovery
for the cure of piles, was the most re-
tried in one respect, and that was the
instant relief experienced in all cases,
no matter how severe, from the mo-
ment the remedy was applied; this was
the more surprising to him, because he
had carefully analyyzed' the prepara-
ton and no trace of opium, cocaine
or similar poison could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor up
on the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it
is rapidly taking the place of surgical
operations and because it is so simple.
so easily applied and contains no min
eraI OF other poisons so commonly used
in pile cures.
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure not only cures the vari-
Gus forms of Piles, but never fails to
give immediate relief on the first ap-
plication, no matter how severe the
pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application Another important ad-
vantage is that anyone can use the
remedy without detention from busi-
ness or interference with daily occu-
patton. Sold by druggists at so cents

country without the payment of ade-
quate protective rates, are, if possible,
more harmful than the importation of
the cheap laborer himself
IF the laborer comes, he must at
least live and must help to consume of
the surplus products of our farms and
factories. Not only this, but he be
comes amenable to our laws. If he ac-
qutres property he must pay taxes upon
1t and thus contribute to the support of
our government. If he engages in bus
mess among us he must pay for the
privilege of doing so and under these
conditions there is at least some slight
hope that by contact with an enIight-
ened and progressive people, living in
an atmosphere Of liberty and enjoying
the blessings of a free government, he
may possibly gather inspira ton from
his surroundings and in time become
useful citizen. But when this cheap Ia
Dor comes in the form of a box of mer-
chandiSe, or a bale of wool, without
payment of an adequate protective du-
ty 1t monopolizes our market, Injuries
our producers, degradeS our labor and
takes employment from our citizens
without any just compensat tory advan-
tage:

our own laborerS for the protection of
labor interests, he can be talked to and
reasoned with but the American wage
Garner cannot argue with a box of
cheap foreign merchandise neither can
the American farmer argue with bale
of cheap Chinese WOOL
In concluding his remarks he quoted
from a speech delivered by President
Mckinley to the Ohio wool growers in
1898 and commenting upon the speech
said he commended these utterances
particularly to the distinguished sena-
tor from that state TIanna) whose re-
election he said, will depend upon next
falls campaign.
Mr.. Mantle declared that no prOtec-
tive tariff can ever again endure in this
nation which does not fully guard the
interests of the great mass of producers
of what are known as raw materials
and among these he declared the pro-
lection of wool is the most important, it
is the keystone to the great arch of pro-
lection and unless it be we'll guarded
and preserved, the whole structure
must fail to the ground.

DENVER Biennial.
Preparing to Entertain the Women's
Clubs.

Denver June 5.-AH the committees
formed for the local celebration of the
General Federation met in the Woman's
club room yesterday. Mrs J. B. Grant
presided and Mrs. Charles Henrotin.
president of the General Federation.
was present. The chairmen of all the
committees were called upon for re-
ports, but the latter were made so fully
at the last regular meeting that there
was little additional matter of inter-
est.
Miss Parsons, chairman of the hotel
committee, reported that reduced rates
could be secured from all the principal
hotels.
Mrs. T. c. Chase for the committee
on excursions, wanted the advice pro-
mulgated that the visitors should take
their tickets to Colorado Springs, as
this cost no more from the east than
tickets to Denver. Then the local
committee would make no arrange
ment as to that point. Arrangements
for reduced rates to GlenWoOd Springs
and other points would be made
The feature of the afternoon was the
address of Mrs. HenrOtin. One would
naturally lok for brains. talent, execu-
tive ability and kindred qualities in the
president of the General Federation.
She has them all, and yet the salient
quality that strikes one is her person
ality in her surprising sweetness. Mrs
HenrOtin is q very sWeet,a very charIn-
ing and a very Iovable women, and the
Denver women never felt this more
strongly than after her una1ecteo,
kindly talk of yesterday.
Il wanted the first meeting of the
biennial after L became president at
Louisville" she said, because 1 felt
that the club movement of the south
needed the stimulus which the b1en-
nfal would impart to it. 1 think the
biennial impaired that stimulus, ana 1
think we all brought away beautiful
recollections of the gracious hospitality
and sweet personality of the southern
women. 1 believe that biennial did a
great deal to bring the north and south
together. Then I wanted the next BIZ
ennial in Denver, because felt that
the west had something for the Feder-
alton. You had such a splendid dele
cation at Louisville, perhaps the most
notable one present. We felt that the
west was sending US her new women
and a new light.

The rule of the trusts is the rule of
bribery, and its inevitable effect a
perVasive sordidness. We are arriv

The manhood of the nation is being de-

Edward Everett Hale, d. D. L. L. D.,

that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights; that
among these are life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness. That to secure
these rights, governments are insti-
tuted among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned; that whenever any form of gov
eminent becomes destructive of these
ends, it is the right of the people to
alter and abolish it, and to institute a
new government, laying its foundation
on such principles, and organizing its
powers in such form, as to them shall
seem most likely to effect their safety
and happiness. Prudence, Indeed, will
dictate that governments long estab-
lished should not be changed for light
and transient causes; and accordingly
all experience hath shown that man
kind are more disposed to suffer, while
evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves by abolishing the forms to
which they are accustomed But when
a long train of abuses and usurpations,
pursuing invariably the same object,
evinces a desire to reduce them under
absolute depotism, 1t is their right, 1t Is
their duty to throw off such govern
ment, and to provide new guards for
their future security. Such has been
the patient sufferance of these colonies;
and such is now the necessity which
constrains them to alter their former
systems of government. The history
of the present King of Great Britain is
record of repeated injuries and usur-
pations, all having in direct object the
establishment of an absolute tyranny
over these states. To prove this, let
facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his assent to laws the
most wholesome and necessary for the
public good. He has forbidden his
governors to pass laws of immediate
and pressing Importance, unless sus-
pended in their operation till his assent
should be obtained; and when SO sus-
pended he has utterly neglected to at
tend to them. He has refused to pass
other laws for the accommodation of
large districts of people, unless those
| people would relinquish the right of
representation in the legislature-a
right inestimable to them, and formi
dable to tyrants only. He has called
together legislative bodies at places
unusual, uncomfortable, and distant
from the depository of their public rec
ords, for the sole purpose of fatiguing
them into compliance with his meas
ures. He has dissolved representative
houses repeatedly, for opposing, with
manly firmness, his invasions on the
rights of the people. He has refused.
for long time after such dissolutions.
to cause others to be elected; whereby
the legislative powers. incapable of
annihilation, have returned to the peo-
