TIE MESSAGE.

The Presidents message is somewhat
disappointing in that it contains no
extended reference to the most interesting
and pressing question now before the
country, namely, the disposition and gov
eminent of the territory yielded to us by
Spain. On reflection, however, one will
see that it was hardly to be expected that
the President would treat of these ques-
ton at this time inasmuch as the peace
sreaty has not yet been signed, and in-
deed not yet completed. The President
CARDS Cuba and points out that it is our
duty to keep our pledge by giving to
that Island an independent and free gov
eminent, oEe that shall fairly represent
the people, and in which "neither revenge
nor passion shall have any part" Until
complete tranquility is established and
stable government is inaugurated mill.
tary occupation will be continued. This
is practically all there is in the message in
regard to our attitude toward tine new
territory that we have acquired in the
The message is largely taken up with
an outline OF the war, in which its
salient features are pointed out and the
patriotism of the soldiers and the people
is commended. This, though interesting,
contains little that is new
The important recommendations made
by the President growing out of the war
are the increase of the army to 100,0 900
men at least; the building of more war
vessels as sue gested by Secretary Long;
and the building of the Nicaragua canal,
though this lalter Recommendation is i'm
piled rather than actually expressed. The
President expresses his intention to mus
ter out the volunteers so soon as he has
received authority to increase the regular
army. He takes strong ground
in favor of an international compact
to incorporate into the laws of
nations the principle of the exemption of
private property on the sea, not contra.

versity has resigned his position as Super
intendent Of Schools of Chicago. That such

has seemed clear enough to those who

all his plans for the Improvement of

On our second page we publish the
address of the Idaho Commission Of
the Trans v ississippi and Information
al Exposition. The address outlines
the plan which the Commission has
formulated for securing funds for max
ing creditable showing Of Idaho re-
sources, attractions and advantages at
the great Omaha Exposition. This Ex-
po ition in many respects will give the
people of the mountain States better
opportunities for calling the attention
Of the world to the opportunities they
offer FOR investment or home building
than even the great Columbia EXposi-
ton did, and as the state has made no
provision for an exhibit, it devolves up
on the public spirited property owners
OF the state to assist the Commission
in raising funds to make the best pos
sible showing. You Will no doubt be
to further by members of the
Commission, and it will be your duty
to respond literally.

Party G, nfefeuces.

Chairman Perault, of the goldbug re-
public an state committee has issued a
call for mass meeting of republicans
at Boise to be held on the anniversary
of President McKinley's inauguration.
Chairman Patrie of the silver republi-
cans has called meeting of silver re-
publicans for the 2Sth inst. to be held
in Boise. The democrats and popu-
lists will soon follow suit. Fur Will fly
at all these meetings when assembled
except that Of the goldbugs. Their
meeting will be very harmonious for
the reason that all the Mckinley pie to
be allotted to Idaho has not yet been
distributed. The arpetites of all the
few Mckinley men i'll Idaho have not
yet been appeased and until that is
done there will be reason for the gold
bug party to keep up an organization.
When all the federal appointments
have been made one can tell the exact
strength of the organization by count
ing the Office holders The disappoint-
ed Office seekers will ali suddenly be-
come honest and leave the party to
which, in Idaho, allegiance is only held
by the magnetic attractions of the
pie counter.

cipally from the surface. Since then
Judge l.. l. Lewis & Sons, owners of the
mine, have leased it to several different

strike the ledge. II. G. Lewis went out
to the mine Thursday and he corrobor-
ates the statement made by Mr.. Clark,
and says there is no doubt but that the
long host ledge has been found.-Ketch-

There are few mining camps in Idaho
that are row attracting more attention
than the old Florence district, and we
reproduce from the Florence Miner,
the following interesting write up of
present prospects of that marvelously
rich district:
"a new body of rich ore has been
encountered in the west drift in the
Banner.
"A Wilfey concentration and another
5xS plate will be added soon to the
Banner mill. With this improvement
Manager Glidden informs us, from 20
to % tons OF ore will be reduced daily.
The January output of this mill will
far exceed that Of any previous month.
'The east drift on the 80 foot level in
the Hiyu is now about Go feet from the
shaft, with good ore in the face. The
west drift on the same level also has
good showing. A cross-cut drift at the
bottom Of shaft proves the ledge to lie
from l. to 20 feet wide, which justifies
the opinion that the mill plant on this

The Miners Union Entertainment
Saturday uieht was a medley of music,
songs, recitations and amusement, all
ending with lauphable farce, all of
which was highly enjoyed by house
full of people. Every selection, song,
recitation and sketch, was enthusiast
cally applauded, and deserved to be-.
But the star attractions promised for
the evening, greatly to the disappoint-
ment of the audience, did not ma
terialize. Messrs. Tom Duncalf and
Ed Brannan lost their nerve before the
entertainment opened, and neither of
these versatile and accomplished gen
tlemen came to time, aud the song aud
dance promised by one and the "Come-
all-ye" OF the other were lot given. We
would suggest that the next time these
distinguished gentlemen promise to
appear that they be put under bonds,
or, preferably, be locked UP, until time
for them to be brought into court.
The receipts of tue entertainment net
ted the sick benefit fund OF the Nine-s'
Union quite a handsome sum. The
Union viii give other entertainments
later on and can always be assured of
good houses so long as they keep up to
their present standard.

property will be increased to at least
80 ton capacity next summer.
"G. A. Loper, one of the owners of
the Senator, reports that owing to hav-
ing encountered rock, which in hard
ness, seems cross between armor
plate and chilled steel, progress in the
Senator is very slow. NJ -Loper is not
bit discouraged, however, and with
his partners, is working faithfully to
tap the lead.
"On the Mikado a drift is now being
run on the ledge So feet from surface
which shows the main pay streak to be
Sc inches wide and gradually growing
wider with depth. As to the value of
the ore fair idea may be formed from
the fact that considerable amount of
it will run at least one dollar a pound.
The richest IS sacked and then stored
away, while the balance is piled on the
dump, Atpresent rate of extraction,
the company will have many thousand
dollars worth Of ore ready for treat
meut next spring The Niikado comes
well under the head of big leads, for
while we mention but three feet of ore,
the ledge is something like 10 feet be
tween walls, with more or less pay ore
distributed throughout the whole body.
Mr.. Bishop, like all other mining men
who have studied the lodges of this
district, is convinced that with suffi-
cient depth, the world will again be as
tonished by the golden output of Flor
ence basin. With plant of sufficient
the Mikado will make great
record as producer of the yellow met
al. A mill will be placed on the prop
erty next spring"

improvident dog. Ever since his re
demption from the bowling wilderness
Of antiquity the dog has been COM
panion to man-all except the poodle
dog, which prefers association with the
gentler sex. The dog has endeared
himself to his master, only to be hated
and despised by the owner of other
dogs. Public sentiment, which is OPP
posed to working the night shift 365
days out Of the year, had gradually,
but none the less intensely, set in
against the dog as family, when sud
denly the Klondike gold fields opened a
new career for the unfortunate an
imal.
The dog with a prolonged nightly
warble was transferred from the ad-
vanced civilization Of the nineteenth
century to the front yard Of the aurora
borealia, where he car howl from the
setting of the san to the rising thereof
without interfering with the advanced
thought Of the age. 1t may be hard
Shedding for him in his new nome, but
like human beinghe now has def

end of a meal ticket in Dawson City

dog should appreciate the fact that his
usefulness does not end when he does.
He has already gone from tha Pacific
coast in large quantities. Instead Of
being worth nothing but pound, he is
now worth so much pound. Dog days
