to speak of competition as if it were
an evil beyond description. As mat"

WAR AGAINST BONDS.
ARGUMENTS AGAINST ISSUING
BONDS TO CARRY ON WAR.
The Popullsts in the House Express the
Wish of Their Constituents in OppOs-
ing an Issue of Interest Bearing
Bonds to Carry on the War.

The proposition to issue $500, 900, 900
of interest bearing bonds met vigorous
opposition in the house from populist
members Following are a few of the
arguments advanced:
Hon. A. G. Shuford (pop. N. C)
1.-THE gold trust has strengthened its
grip upon the revenue measure just
passed by the house in which author
ity is given the secretary of the treas
ury to issue $500, 900, 900 of per cent
bonds.
The people realize now that the
same power that issues bonds can issue
legal tender treasury notes, and the
same property that stands behind the
bonds and makes them perfectly safe
applies to the treasury notes. The
difference alone being the interest.
Falling prices have not only discour-
aged investment, but made property
in the eyes of the "money.changers"
unsafe security. Consequently they
seek bonds that place mortgage, not
only upon this generation, but our
children for generations to come.
"Full legal treasury notes would be
q blessing to the people by raising
prices of labor and products, and it
would take millions of them to make
up for the lost and destroyed green
backs included in the $346, 900, 900 now
claimed by the secretary of the treas
ury to be outstanding.
Bonds are a curse, burden upon
labor, as the interest must be collected
fSom the sweat and the toll of produ-
GERS. Think of it, the $500, 900, 900 au-
thorized in this bill in twenty years
will draw $500, 100000 in interest, if
paid annually, but this is to be paid
quarterly and will amount to much
more than that The policy of issuing
interest bearing bonds will enslave
our people unless they awaken to the
danger and call halt"
Hon. Jerry Simpson (pop. Kan.,) who
is one of the minority leaders in the
house and whose ability is well known,
discussing the bond issue of the war
revenue measure, said:
~ think it is the most outrageous
legislation that has been put upon the
country in many years 1t is the same
old scheme of the money power, talk
ing advantage of the patriotic enthu-
siasm of the country, when there is
absolutely no necessity for issuing
bonds in the present emergency. Ii
the people don't defeat the republicans
on the bond proposition then they are
not entitled to free government"
Hon. ]. Y. Callahan (pop, 0klahoms)
has introduced and secured favorable
reports on quite a number of bills in
which his constituents haYe interest,
in spite of the great proposition new
member has overcome it in the house.
While he met with great difficulty in
the house, yet he succeeded, through
the efforts of senators, to have some OF
his measures alaced as amendments to
appropriation bills and thus secured
their passage.

following, a correct view Of the pur-
pose Of the money power in taking al

gold, and when the captain says that
he took it from one cubic yard of dirt
on the Snake river. in Idaho, and that
there is more of the same sort down
there, it makes the bottle as interest
ing as a nugget from Klondike.
Gold is found along the Snake river
for more than 800 miles,, said Can
tain Thompson yesterday. Il do nor
mean that il is everywhere found in
paying quantities. but there are dig
gings all along the stream. The gold
is fine so fine in fact, that it has
been considered impossible for the
miners to save i and many a claim
that under the modern methods prom
ises to prove valuable has been al
lowed to go unrecorded because its
owner thought that the gold he knew
was there could not be saved. Re
Gently, however, better methods have
been introduced, and in some places 1t
has been found that even the most
primitive methods will save the gold.

method of getting the gold from the

THE LUCKY BOY STRIKE.
Details of the Important Discovery
In This Idaho Mine

World. Idaho City, Ida: Three veins
have been struck in the Lucky Boy tunnel,
in Gembrinus district. The tunnel is $40
feet long. The first vein, IA inches wide,
was struck after running in 900 feet. This
vein will mill $40 or $50 a ton. A cross-cut
was run to the foot wall and another vein
struck, four and a half feet wide. that
will mill SO or $14 ton. From the face
of the tunnel another crosscut was run.
cutting another vein, four feet wide. of
81 or S6 ore. These veins are nearer to-
gether than they were in the old works
$50 feet above. The richest vein in the
upper works is on the hanging wall and
is six or eight feet wide This has not
yet been tapped from the lower tunnel.
A cross-cut will be run to tap the hang
ing wall and another will be run north to
the Illinois ledge which runs through the
Lucky Boy claim. Gold has been obtained
in the country rock in the cross-cut run
ming for this ledge. The Lucky Boy is
under bond to John B. Reno. w. B. Neal
and j. X. Fleming, the former two of
Pittsburg. Mr.. Fleming has had charge
of the property since the bond was given.
Ed Beck, who gave the World the par
ticulars of the strike, is an owner in the
mine, and has always had unbounded
faith in the property. He can estimate
the value of ore pretty closely, and it is
safe to say it will mill fully up to the
figures given. Ed says the depth attained
is 800 feet. But little ore has been stopped
out in the upper works.

Bowman. an associate editor of the APP

candidate for lieutenant governor OF

through the rear door and ran TO this
city, distance of % miles, without money
or baggage.
Chief Editor Wayland had grave fears
of repetition of the Lovejoy affair with
his newspaper office.
The article which so incensed the people
referred to the national flag as a piece
of painted rag tied to a stick. He was
criticising the worship of the flag above
the regard for fellow creatures. Mr..

IMPORTANT MINING DEAL.
Reorganization of the Monitor Min
ing Company, of Butte.

LIZ VI
One of the most important mining
deals in this vicinity for some time,
says the Butte Miner, is the reorganiza-
ton of the Monitor Mining company,
owning the Monitor tunnel, 1,400 feet
long, and about ten promising claims
in Park canyon. The reorganized COM
pany is composed of Butte men, but
consists principally of Chicago CAPT
tai represented by Mr.. Pomeroy, we'll
known capitalist and promoter, of Chi
cago. Mr.. Pomeroy, with some of his
associates in the mining venture, which
promises to do much for the develop
ment of the Park canyon district, are
expected to be in Butte next week,
when active work will at once COM
mence.
1t has already been decided that a
shaft will be sunk or one of the prop
critics belonging TO the Monitor COM
pany to depth of 500 feet. AS this is
much lower down than the Sullivan
mine, on which there is a shaft down
about this distance, it is expected that
a good showing of the mineral re-
sources of this portion of the district
will result from the shaft and the eX-
tenSiVe prosecuting contemplated. A
good many hundred thousand dollars
has been spent in the various develop
ments in the mining properties of Park
canyon district, but up to this time,
though some high grade copper ore has
been found in places, no ore has been
found in sufficient quantities to make
/ any one property a shipper. There are
various theories afioat, in which many
different ideas from mining men are
expressed, some claiming that good
copper leads exist out in the canyon,
which are sure to come to the front
with sufficient development. 1t is
thought that the present company will
solve the problem, as the developments
will be greater than anything SO far
attempted in the district

coming in on either side. The last as
say of the ore made by Manager Hill
showed 126 ounces silver, s12OS5 in gold
and small per cent of copper.
E. P. Jennings, a Wisconsin man, has
succeeded Mr.. Turner as manager OF
the Last Chance mine and mill. Mr..
Jennings, besides being first-class
man in the business of a metallurgist,
has been acting as assayer for the
Last Chance during the past two
months, during which time he thor
oughly familiarized himself with the
property The opinion is freely eX-
pressed among those in a position to
know that he is the right man in the
right place. Mr.. Turner has some
mining schemes on hand which will
soon occupy his attention
