Mr.. SCHROEDER on silver.

VIM. Schroeder Of this place gives his
theory regarding free silver, gold
standard, etc. between this and foreign
countries:
First. We take two pounds Of silver
out of Senator Stewards silver mine
in Nevada; one pound we take to
the U. s. mint and receive sixteen dol
lars. each worth one hundred cents.
The other pound of silver we take to
Mexico and receive sixteen Mexican
silver dollars, each being worth 80 to
40 cents, according to bullion.
Second. Next we 60 to Uncle Sans
post office and buy silver dollars
worth of domestic or foreign stamps
everyone knows that we receive 100
cents worth of stamps, full value. Next
we go to Mexico, Japan, South Amer
lea or to free silver country, take a
Mexican silver dollar and buy a dol
lars worth OF foreign stamps. The re-
sult2 You can try it. 1t is similar as
in first paragraph.
Third. Our congress is elected by
the people and receive $4,000 annually.
1t is not so in Europe. The congress
in the Reichtag at Berlin, House OF
Lords at London, Paris, Vienna, ST.
Petersburg, etc., receive no pay, and
are neither elected by the people; but
in reality all these high lords and land
owners receive more pay than our con-
gressmen. Why9 They rent their
land, sell grain, cattle, wool, ETC., and
all these must be paid in gold, or the
value in gold, and gold is always at &
high premium. Will Europe agree I,
free silver? Surely not. Therefore
Senator Wolcott's and the monetary
commissioners fiasco in Europe. Who
can step up and say the above is wrong

vein a short distance away viii shortly

body of ore VIII be encountered ana, if
this is the case, another mine will be
aad5d to the already long list OF Tintlc'S
producers.
4 strike Of ore is this week recorded
in the Homestake. The ore was en-
countered on the 800 level and shows
an assay value of 50 gold. sc ounces sill
yer and 80 per cent copper The shaft
is now nearly to the 400 level and as
soon as the station is cut drifting will

that where the ore body is cut it will
be larger and richer than on the 800
level.
Nels Westergreen and Roy Van Lu-
van have taken a lease on 400 feet of

bic ore is now on the dump, which is
said to carry good values in gold, silver
