Debate In the House Over the Trans
pOrtatiOn OF Bullion.
THE PRODUCTION OF GOLD
PROVISION OF HOUSE BILL TO
DISCOURAGE IT.
Bill Argued That if the Government
Declined to Pay Cost of Trans
portation, Gold Would Go to For
eign Mints-Remarks of Shafroth,
Bland and Others.

Washington, Jan. 12-The house to-
day passed an urgent deficiency bill
carrying S1,7H,S43. One of the items
authorizing a further expenditure of
$50, 600 for the Soldiers Home at Dan
vile, Ills, for which $4,000 was APP
propriated in the sundry civil bill, was
used by Mr.. De Almond Dem., Mo-
as a basis for a bitter personal attack
against Chairman Cannon, whose home
is al DanVille. He charged that Mr..
Cannon, after using his power on the
appropriation committee to get the
home located in his home town, was
now trying to take a million dollars
out of the treasury to help people in
terested in Danville town lots.
Mr.. Cannon replied in sarcastic
speech, and accused the member from
Missouri OF being a common scold, such,
he said, as We're ducked at the town
pump in then olden days. He insisted
that additional barracks were needed at
Danville where $4,000 veterans were
now sleeping in corridors, cellars and
attics.
Mr. De Almonds motion was defeat
ed without division.
BLOW AT THE MINER.
There was. lively debate over the
provision in the bill requiring the own
ers of bullion hereafter to pay the cost
of transporting bullion from assay Of
fees to the mints. Mr.. Bell Pop,
Colo.) argued that if the government
declined to pay the cost of transport
tation, the gold would go to foreign
minis. 1t. was, he said, another blow
aimed at the western miner. There
was reason why the government had
not the same interest in securing the
gold production of the country now
that it had in the past.
Mr.. Shafroth ISL. rep, cofo.) argued
against the proviso. Not content with
the gold standard, he said, this was an
attempt to discourage the production
of gold, and still further appreciate it's
pawer and value.
Mr.. Cannon pointed out that if the
law was continued until an assay Office
would be established on the Yukon the
government would have to pay the
mint price for gold in the Klondike,
and then pay the cost of and assume
all risks incident to transporting to the
San Francisco or Philadelphia mint
This law was a bounty on gold min
ing. Why should it exist? He protest.
ed against trying to complicate it with
the financial question.
Mr.. McRasi NDem., Ark), argued that
the gold discoveries in the Yukon fur
nishedo the best reason why the existing
law should ,S5inot be discountenanced.
The government should offer every in
ducement to miners to bring their gold
to :ts mintS.c
Mr.. Savers .(Dem., Tex, supported
the proposed change in the government
policy. There was no more reason, he
said, why the government should give
a bounty to, the gold miners than to
the cotton and wheat growers. No
ether countTX,rhe said, paid the freight
on bullion. II
Mr.. livingston (Dem., Ga.), denied
that his proposition in any way af-
fected the financial issue. He favored

BLAND OPPOSED.

Mr. Kelly 'Pop.. S. d., Mr.. Dockery
Oem., MOI. and Mr.. Bland Dem..
MOI, opposed the proviso The latter,
in his remarks, said the present law
was = part of the resumption act of
1879. 1t was intended to encourage and
facilitate gold production, and coupled
with It was the law for the sale of
bonds for the securing of gold. The en-
couragement of gold production was
the cheaper and better way to procure
gold. The new prOviso was in the in
terest oc theIbond sales.
After further remarks by Mr.. Simp
son (Pop., Kan.), and Underwood
(Dem., Ala-), against the proviso, Mr..
Bells motion to strike out the proviso
was defeated, 125-110.
On motion, Mr. Bells (Colo) amend
ment was adoDted, providing for the
survey and establishment of the south
ern boundar.' line of the Ute reserva-
ticn in Colorado.
The bill was then passed.
Mr. Hit. from the foreign affairs
committee, reported the diplomatic and

Our Mines.

While the war has has to some ex-
tent. served to detract public attention
from the mining resources OF this loc-
atty. 1t is gratifying to state that the
fullest confidence in the merit of our
mining properties remains mistaken,
and that the work Of development is
still being pro secuted upon the more
prominent locations with undated vigor,
and with higly gratifying results.
Upon the Norh Star group on the
Psnobscot belt, a vein Of promising
character, massive in proportion and OF
excellent quality has been cross cut
at a depth of 100 feet, which clearly es-
tablishes the value Of this extensive and
promising group.
In the Gold Coin shaft in the Dansby
district west Of this city, a nine foot vein
OF payable ore is being explored at a
depth OF rs feet, and the erection Of a
mill to treat the ore is now being held
under favorable contemplation. Upon
the Lizzie group a short distance north
east Of the city, operations are being
continued with highly encouraging re-
suits. The main shaft has attained a
depth ofabout $50 feet, and the ore en-
countered at this depth, as shows by
careful and elaborate tests, carries val.
ues which warrant a fair margin of pro-
fit in its reduction.
Other mining properties are also
being developed which promise well,
and it may be truly said, that at no
time in our local history has the out
look for a full and thorough develop.
ment Of our mineral our been as
hopeful and promising as it is to-day,
the eventual success of which is beyond
the question of a doubt.
