Tuesday. He reports much activity in
that district and predicts for it a great
future The work on the Empire is pro-
crossing as usual and the development is
very satisfactory. Nine more men have
been put on, at the Star mine and Il great
deal of ore is being taken out. The new
Smelter will be completed in a few days
ard several properties are now hauling
ore in readiness for starting up loca-
tor recently made, called the Empire
King, is reported TO have an immense
surface showing of iron, averaging A per
cent which promises to be extremely val
liable for smelling.
Captain j. r. Middlemas and H. a.
Moore, who have been examining the dis
trict most of the past week in the inter-
est of eastern capitalists, closed deal
last Monday for the Incorporation of the
Moonstone consolidated group, belonging
to John NJ. Murray and Henry G. kruse.
The property consists of three claims
lying east of the Godiva and is reported
to have considerable showing of low
grade ore. The incorporation papers are
being prepared and will probably be filed
the first of the week. r. G. Wilson of the
Eureka hotel is also interested in the
deal.
Responsible parties are figuring on the
erection of a custom mill in the neighbour
hood of Silver City and we have received
assurances that one will be put up as soon
as spring opens. A mill will be great
thing for that section of the district and
viii be a paying investment from the
start.

AFTER WASHBURN.
SECRETARY EDGERTON SENDS
HIM A LETTER.
No Reason Why the Peoples Party
Should Abandon Free Silver
Simply Because Democrats Have
Taken It Up.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 29.-J. A. Edger-
ton, of Lincoln, secretary of the Popu-
list national committee, this evening
gave out the text of a letter to George
F. Washburn, member Of the committee
for Massachusetts. Mr.. Washburn, in
a statement some weeks ago, advised
Populists to make the silver question
but a minor issue in the party propa-
ganda Secretary Edgerton takes issue
with him and insists that it should be
Hon. Georgr WSWashburn, Boston,
Mass rett
MY Dearsi: G. Me Peoples party
has always .ceents ied for the free
coinage of sHsv 1t should not
abandon this issue, simply because an
other party has taken it up, but should
rather support it more zealously. 1t
should welcome the assistance and
should vie with the newcomers as to
who shall give the free coinage issue
the most united and effective support.
The Peoples party was the first
to raise the free silver standard. Must
it abandon that standard simply be-
cause another has come to its support?
No Right does not cease to be right
because it gains new adherents. And
to saw that we will not advocate a
right principle simply because another
party promises to share the credit for
carving it to success, seems to me
to be playing the boy. That is a too
narrow and selfish a course for the
Peoples party.
For the Populists to abandon free
silver now, would be like an army leav-
ing the field when one more charge
would win the battle.
You ask me then, What is to be the
distinctive mission of the Peoples
party? This: To push the fight, as in
the past, on all its principles, only with
more vigor than ever before; for free
silver, for a supplemental issue of
paper money direct by the government;
for the government ownership OF
railroads and telegraphs; for direct
LEGISLATION Let the work of education
proceed on all these, abandoning moth
ing. changing no issue, but standing
fiFr,lv upon the platform made at
Omaha and renewed at St. Louis.
ITO sum IN I agree with you that
the fight should be pushed, but not
that the issue should be changed; and
in place of abandoning one plank and
taking the two which you propose, I
would hold fast to all three: and, in
line with the admirable suggestion of
Wharton Barker in the Philadelphia
American, 1 would carry on the work
for; first-the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at Is to l; second. sup
Elemental issue of paper money direct
by the general government; third, gov
eminent ownership of railroads and
telegraphs. Very truly yours,
u A. EDGERTON."
Though not so explicitly stating in
his letter, Mr.. Edgerton is favorable
to fusion, when it will advance the
cause of silver.

GOLD MINING BONDS.
Used to Replace the Traditional
Gold Brick

Chicago, Jan 29.-S. w. Marshall and
A. S. Whitman are under arrest here
charged with forgery and conspiracy
to defraud. They were arrested at the
instance of officials of the First Ma
tional bank. It is charged that the
two men conspired to defraud the bank
out of $4,000 by trying to sell to 1t
forged gold mining bonds
Marshall, when arrested, gave his
business as a mine owner. Whitman
is a resident of Chicago.
Marshall called at the First National
bank the latter part of last week IN
company with Whitman. The former
had a quantity of gold mining stock on
which he wanted TO raise money. The
manager of the bond department said
the bank was willing to take the bonds
if thev were all right, and requested
that they be left at the bank to be
verified. They were bonds Of well
known mining stock company of Den
yer, and listed up high in the Colorado
Mining Exchange.
Communication with the company in
Denver brought the response that the
bonds were worthless. as the numbers
had been raised and the signatures
forged

Stockholders of both the Geyser and
Iarion Mining company, after a pro-
tracted consultation yesterday after
noon, fully concluded to consolidate
the interests of these two corporations.
The meeting occurred in the office of

at which the provisions of a new in
corporation will be discussed. The title
aof the succeeding company will be the
Geyser-Marion Mining company, with

Next week Joseph Murphy, the legiti-
mate Irish comedian, plays his first
engagement in Salt Lake. at the Ly-
ceum theatre; his appearance will no
doubt be welcomed by a large class Of
our theatre goers. The popularity of Mr..
Murphy as q comedian of the purely
legitimate sort, vas establish ID a quar-
ter of a century ago, and through all
the varying changes of the drama he
has maintained his high grade of,
characteristic work in standard
dramas. No other Irish plays have
reached so high a plane of merit or
dramatic excellence, or employed meth
DDS which so justly deserve his meas
ure of success; he is always dignified
and histrionic; his plays breathe a.
spirit of humor and refined mirth that
create an atmosphere of their own and
draw about the star a class of wor-
shippers who are pure admirers of
original Irish jollity and natural humOr.
1t is a fact noted by managers that Mr..
Murphy fills their theatres with people
who are not regular patrons of the play
house. 1t is a national holiday for
many when Murphy plays, and his
Shaun Rhue" and Kerry Cow are
recognized as classics of irish comedy
from the extremes of the north, south,
east and west. Mr.. Murphy is a favor
tie and his magnetic personality and
unique manner attracts a following
possessed by no other star, except Jo-
seph Jefferson.

1T WAS CRUSHING.
Suns Criticism of Late Perform
ance by Mrs. Hoffman Martin.

New York, Jan 29.-The Sun this
morning prints the following criticism
of Mrs. Hoffman Martins performance
of the translation of Dumas Antony
which she had renamed adele" at the
hurry Hill theatre yesterday after
noon:
THE play has aged, but it is younger
today than Mrs. Martin. She has
grown bulky and unwieldy. The role
of an unfaithful wife is the part she
tried to act, and it is as passionate and
feverish in its nature as that of the il
legitimate hero of the play. Mrs. Mar
tin is destitute of the slightest qualifi-
undertake what she did yesterday
have at least the advantage of youth.
Mrs. Martin had not even this advant-
age. She had only one thing in her
favor and that was a StOlid assurances
which nothing could ruffie. She walked
through the play like a woman in her
sleep. The expression of her face never
changed. The tones of her voice were
inVaria BILE. She was curiOuSly chalkeO
and powdered until she looked like a.
resurrected cadaver. She was attired
in a series of costumes so stale in fash
ion that she looked like a figure out of
Godey's Lady's book. Most of the time
the spectators found the exhibition
pitiable. But there were moments in
WnlcN IL was 700 OVERWHELMINGLY
amusing to be received with anything
but laughter. She simply moved clum-
silly through the four acts, talking in
conversational monotone which rose or
fell under no stress of emotion.
Since I was u years DID, said Mrs.
Hoffman Martin yesterday at She close
of the matinee, I have been trying to
get on the stage. Before today l have
acted only in Rornesville, Elmira and
Port Jervis. But it is in the blood and
1 cannot help it, Mrs. Martin admits
to &C. so it took 81 years for her to get
before an audience of about 10. The
performance was given in aid of the
Cuban sick and wounded, and some
body said that few more affairs of
the kind would destroy all sympathy
for the Cuban cause.
Mrs. Martin said she had expected
to be arrested by E. J. Henley, and
had made all arrangements to give
bonds and be released She said she
would continue to act the play in San
Francisco, and would like to appear
here for the benefit of the poor of New
York. But she is unwilling to pay the
expenses again, as she said yesterdays
matinee had cost her $3.50"
