OVATION 70 ADMIRAL SCHLEY
TREMENDOUS CROWDS GREETPOP.
ULAR HERO OF SANTIAGO.
ALL WASHINGTONIANS JOINED IN.
Bureau Influence Did Not Prevent Oaicisis
From Taking Part In the Reception to
SIMPSONS Subordinate Oficer.

A Washington special says: Hobson
had his ovation, the Rough Riders had
theirs, and Wheeler his, but oil three
together would not begin TO equal the
demonstration at the war, state and
navy departments Saturday morning
in honor Of Rear Admiral Schley.
There has been nothing like it at the
national capital before.
II the officials Of the navy depart.
ment had any doubt rs to who was the
popular hero Of Santiago their doubt
was entirely dispelled. The magni-
tude Of the ovation given TO Schley
about Washington and in front Of his
hotel was Of q most remarkable char
acter. But owing to the sentiments
that exist among the heads Of the navy
department, II was believed that the
popular sentiment there could be held
/. in check. Such was not the case.
Crowds had been waiting all morn
ing in trent Of the great navy depart
ment building, and the shout they
raised upon his appearance was sig
nal for those inside that the gallant
admiral had arrived. As IL by mutual
consent, oil business was suspended.
Not only did the clerks and minor
clerks Of the war and navy depart
ments leave their desks, but the heads
Of bureaus joined in the wild rush to
welcome the admiral. The corridors
could not begin to hold the throngs
that pushed around him.
General Wilson, head Of the engi-
neer department, threw his arms
around the admiral's neck and kissed
him. For the next ten minutes he
was bombarded with embraces and
kisses from men and women alike.
There must have been forty women
who thus displayed their love and adj
miration for the gallant officer. He
stood the ordeal rs he must have stood
the firing from the Spanish feet.
While he remained in the depart
ment, which was nearly an hour, there
was little work done in anysbureau.
He finally escaped into Captain
Crowninschield' office, where the
door was locked. From here he work.
ed his way to various bureaus until he
Emerged from the building.
He was to have taken the IL :45
train, but it was impossible to break
through the human barricade which
had been thrown up around him.
Over at the white house there was
one man who realized he had not done
the wrong thing in heaping every hon.
or upon this naval hero. He received
every ovation with modesty, almost
shrinking at times from the popular
exhibition OF approval. He is q small,
spare man, not rs large as his pictures
would indicate, but one cannot come
within forty yards of him without feel
ing his personal magnetism.
Saturday afternoon Admiral Schley
left for Maryland, the state Of his
birth, which is waiting with open arms
to welcome him.

The Thunder Mountain Mines.

Tho Thunder Mountain Mines.
Boise Statesman.
]. d. Holton is in from
Warrens and gives very inter-
esting reports of the excite
ment that has arisen over the
gold district known as Thun-
der Mountain. The excite
ment was started by the APP
|pearance of the Caswell broth
(ers in Warrens with 1oH
pounds of gold. A great many
men have visited the district
and all report that it is phe-
nominal. MIR. Holton has a
lot of the rock, brought out
from the camp for him by a
friend. The samples were
left at Weiser but it is his in
tention to have them thor
oughly tested.
The report made by Mr..
Holton OF the camp does not
differ materially from that
published by the Statesman
about a year ago. AT that
time the Caswells visited Boise
with gold from Thunder
mountain and were interview.
ed by this paper, the predic-
ton being made by the States
man that the district would
prove one of the wonders of
the mining history of the
country. That prediction
seems to be in a fair way of
fulfillment.
The vein from which the
gold is taken is from $50 to
200 feet wide. 1t is a soft
porphyry which decomposes
when exposed to the air. The
material IS taken out and piled
up until the water starts in
the spring. By that time it
has slackened and is run
through sluices. The entire
body of ore averages more
than $Io a ton in gold and
can be mined and worked at
nominal cost.
Mr.. Holton quotes a Den
yer mining man who recently
visited the camp as saying
that it is certainly a second
Cripple Creek; he had never
seen such a showing anywhere
else. The great lode has been
found at a point some seven
miles from Thunder mountain
and it is believed that it will
be opened throughout the in
tervening distance. Thunder
mountain is on a branch of
the middle fork of the Sal.
mon. 1t is reached by way of

SILVER PROSPECTS.


The rumor that India is to
open her mints, very soon, to
the free coinage of silver, is
not only not improbable but it
is almost a necessity. The
fiscal condition Of India is most
deplorAble. There is no
money among the common
people, and among business
men the pressure has become
uncomfortable. Interest is so
high that it is beyond the ca.
pacity of merchants to pay it,
and then values are SO uncer.
tain that no security that ordi.
nary men can offer is accepta-
bic. The mighty stringency
has already had a most de.
moralizing effect upon the PEG.
pie. Prices are so low for
staples and payment is SO un.
certain, that many native far
mers have ceased cultivating
the soil, and are permitting it
to return to jungle.
The plan to close the mints
and to force the distressed
country to the gold standard
originated in London, and in
India has never been Endorsed
except by Government Off
cials-mostly English-in the
military and civil service.
They wanted their monthly
pay in gold after silver had
fallen so much that to send
their salaries to their families
in England entailed a heavy
discount. 1t was this class in
the government of India which
without consulting the mer-
chants and bankers of that
country, prepared and for.
warded the refusal of the In.
dian government to second
the efforts of France and the
United States in restoring sill.
yer to its old place as standard
money. The project of these
officers was to borrow enough
gold of Great Britain to make
a fund on which to establish
the gold standard, on what
they call a firm basis. But
with the mighty drain of gold
to America to pay for the food
and cotton of last year, and
because of the uncertainty of
India being able to keep the
gold even if it was forwarded
to her, the banking power of
England became alarmed at
the prospect and recoiled be-
fore the proposition to ship
away $1oo, 100000 in gold
to the ~debt.overwhelmed
country. That settled the
matter, and ever since it has
been but a question of time
when the minis will have to
be opened. Then England
herself is not in frst.rate fix.
Her last years engineers
strike, which meant a general
strike among English me.
chanics, crippled the country
exceedingly. 1t stopped the
wages of thousands of skilled
workmen; it prevented the
filling of contracts to the gov
eminent and to outsiders, and
made it necessary for English
companies to give large orders
to foreigners, notably to
American companies.
In this situation there is
much trouble both to the
home and the India govern
ment. Moreover the petitions
from the trades unions, the
agriculturalists, the manufac.
turers at home, from some of
the colonies, especially Aus
tralia, for a restoration of sill
yer, are most hard to resist.
Then the Chinese government
has begun to stir il its hive
and wants 100000, 900 ounces
q year Tor thirty years to
come. Hence we think the
