THE FUTURE AMERICAN POLICY.


With the success of our arms in the
PHILIPPINE Islands andin Cuba, the termi-
nation of Spanish and the ascendancy of
American civilization in the Western
hemisphere is more clearly foretold.
Such result was, of course, inevitable
from the nature of things, and therefore
was it that the policy of the Cleveland
administration and for awhile apparently
of the present administration to uphold
Spanish supremacy, was one of mon
strous folly. And 1t was right here that
Senator Proctor's course, which did so
much to influence results, was timely, al
tor expected war to come, but simply a
recognition of the belligerency or indie
pendence of the Cuban insurgents, and
then such diplomacy on the part of the
United States as should lead to the an
nexation of Cuba and thus the perma-
nent establishment of prosperous con-
ditions in that wonderfully fertile and
beautiful American island.
The course of events, though, brought
war, which is unquestionably about to
terminate forever Spanish rule in this
hemisphere, and perhaps everywhere
outside of Spain.
The results of this war are also sure to
open up questions of great moment as
regards the future foreign and home
policies Of America. 1t is to be hoped
that here no mistakes will be made, but
that the spirit of our institutions will be
respected, and such a course only pur.
sued as will tend to perpetuate in its
entirety Republican government. Let
us have the West India Islands as fast
as they are conquered now in this war,
and whatever other territory shall come
fairly to us hereafter that we can as
simulate, that is, make a part of the
great republic. Further than this the
REGISTER does not believe that the
people of this country, and especially Of
New England, wish to go. Any policy

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-02-24

The leading question that has been
on the lips OF mining share dealers and
holders for. the past month regarding
the ability of the Bullion-Beck to post
a dividend in the near future. is SEEM
ingly about to be answered, as it is
learned that recent disclosures in this
magnificent Eureka mine have been
most important, and that the outlook
for the immediate future of the prop
erty is beginning to assume a roseate
hue.
In fact, The Herald is informed by
Mr.. John Beck that a few days ago a
fine body of ore was encountered in
the mine on the / 800 level to the south,
which is much higher in grade than
the mineral hitherto disclosed on this
level, and an inspection of an assay
certificate giving the results of over
80 fire tests made on ore from the new
find shows that the average value is
something over 20 per cent lead and so
ounces in silver to the ton, while some
of the mineral goes as high as 90 per
cent lead and 81 ounces in silver.
And this" said Mr.. Beck, lis the kind
of stuff with which to make dividends"
This showing is indeed encouraging.
even though the ore body has been
crosscut for only distance of ten feet,
but as the extent of the deposit is to
be determined as yet. there is much
to hope for. as the Indications are that
it is mammoth in its proportions.
The company is now shipping from
90 to 30 tons of good ore daily and
now that the ore is getting richer in its
metallic contents, greater returns are
anticipated in the near future, which
surely means a resumption of the pay
ment of dividends in the near future.

Almost everybody has had an expert
ence like this. He has gone into a IA
miliar room in the dark to look for a
particular object. He knows or thinks
he knows just where to find it. He
grOpes and fumbles vainly, losing time
and temper and possibly bruising his
knuckies. Finally he gives up his blind
search and turns on the light. There
in plain view is what he was looking
for. His fingers must almost have
touched it a dozen times. How could
he have missed K?
In more ways than one the world
has suffered for want of light. The
body of man has been a darkened
house in which science has CROPPED for
the causes of shortened lives. She has
stumbled upon some truths and some
half truths. She has questioned dead
men, but they have told no tales.
Even today there is more or less err
ror in medicine. That is to say, certain
drugs are known TO produce certain re-
suits. But no one can tell the reason.
From time immemorial physicians have
carefully excluded the air from wounds.
They did not know why exposure to the
air should be had for lacerated tissues,
but the discovery that the air contains
uncOuntable and unthinkable numbers
of germs furnished substantial reason
for plasters and bandages.

RICH COPPER DISCOVERIES ON

Ore Also Runs Well in Gold and Sill
vera Number of Placer Claims

Logan, Feb. 2S.-Mr. John P. Nielsen,
who is employed in the Copper King
mine. at Saddle creek, came down yes
terday from the Danish Klondilze, as
that locality has lately been named. He
came our on snow shoes. He says
everything is booming in great shape
up there, and he believes that there
will be a big stampede for the Saddle
creek country as soon as spring opens.
Mr.. Nielsen is an experienced miner,
and he gives it as his opinion, after
working on the Copper King, that it is
enc of the best copper propositions IN
the west He says that they have I'M
covered a well-defned vein of ore 40
feet in width, full of native copper,
peacock COPPER and oxide of copper.
He brought down some fine specimens
with him, which run well in gold and

good-sized vein of lead carbonates has
recently been found, and with these two
strikes, the owners of the Copper King
think they can make all the money
they want without going TO Klondike
The Shaft on the claim is now % feet
deep, and the ore gets better as they
go down. The general formation, he
says, IS lime and quartZite, and the
veins are easily traced. the ore being

THE SOUTH CAROLINA TRAGEDY
Postofice Department Offers Reward
For the Murderers.


Washington, Feb. 2S.-Information of
the murder of the negro postmaster,
Baker, at Lake City. S. c., and the
burning of his office, came to the post
office department today in a dispatch
from Inspector Williams in that dis
trict, with headquarters at Chatta
nooga. Inspector Williams will send
an inspector to the scene of the trag-
edy at once to investigate and make
a full report of the case to the depart
ment When this is obtained the de-
partment of justice will be asked to
prosecute the persons engaged in the
crime.
Baker who is said to have been a
respectable colored man, and who had
previously taught school, was ap
pointed to the office in July last. 1t
is said at the department that he was
man of quiet, unobtrusive habits,
and had filled the position only a short
time when threats of poison were made
against him. There was no place in the
city to be had for keeping the post
office, and it was removed to a school
house in the suburbs. The citizens boy
cotted the office with some degree of
success. No serious complaints had
been received concerning the condition
of affairs recently.
The postmaster general has offered a
reward of $500 for the arrest and con-
viction of the persons who murdered
the postmaster.
General Gary has issued an order to
discontinue the postoffice at Lake City
from this time.

The Treasure Hill.

Word comes from Silver City that in
the Treasure Hill mine. in the new
workings, an upraise is being made
fl ON the cave recently disclosed in this
old producer, and that in doing this
work mineral is being broken down
from a two-foot body of ore that car
ries average values of + per cent cop
per, Is ounces silver and $1.60 in gold
to the ton, the encouraging feature of
the whole thing being that the metallic
values are increasing as work pro-
crosses, and as it is 500 feet, vertically,

time the vein win widen out to a firs.
chute Of high grade ore.
Superintendent Mcqueen has increas-
ed his force by putting on six more
miners, and work is also being pushed
in the extension of the lower drift, in
which the cave was encountered, while
cross-cuts are being made for the pur-
pose of disclosing other ore zones be-
lieved to exist in the immediate vicin-

STUDENTS CONVENTION.
Significance of the Movement to Es-
tablish "Thy Kingdom Come"

Cleveland, o., Feb. 2S.-Every incom-
ing train last night and today brought
large numbers of delegates and visit
ors to the city, to attend the third in
tcrnational convention of the student
volunteer movement.
Long before the hour for the opening
of the convention in the big Gray's Ar
mory, every seat in the auditorium was
occupied. The different flags for % ma
lions, as well as many others, are drap-
ed about the building. Two immense
American and British flags We're es-
pecially made by the decorators to
draDe the back of the platform. Be
tween these two flags are the words. in
large letters, Thy Kingdom Come,
surrounding an immense map of the
world, showing the religions of the var
ious nations. The inference from this
symbolic Illustration is that the Ameri-
cans and the British must take the
lead in making Gods kingdom real
ity in the whole world. English dele
gates conducted a prayer service,
which lasted throughout the afternoon
session.
Upon the platform were more than
100 leaders, representing all the Protest
ant denominations of North America,
and among the delegates were students
from nearly every college in North
America, professors from over 100 col
leges, and missionaries from 20 heath
en- lands
