Great Proclamation of Several Wide-AWake
 Mining Counties.
There Are Good Prospects for the Industry in Wash ington and Likewise
 in Oil Fields.

Several of the mining counties have be- stirred themselves in an intelligent way to reap all the benefit possible from the great advertising opportunities of the Min ing Fair and their big exhibits will be one of the chief attractions. Nevada Coun- ty has used $500 of the 5000 given by the supervisors to publish an illustrated de- scriptive pamphlet. II Is pity that some of the best and liveliest newer mining sections are poorly represented, 1T at all-
 The general central truth which Ne vada County, with total gold product or s212 OO0, ,OO0 will keep to the front with a wealth of detailed information attending it is thus expressed by the Nevada City Transcript:

 area has produced as much gold dur
 ing the past forty-nine years ai;oa as effans mas

 THE MINERS WAIT MORE HOPE
 FULLY ON CONGRESS NOW.
 Prospects gradually brighten for those three chief matters of national legisla- ton in which California miners are inter ested-a department of mines and mining. the debris dams and the mineral lands bill behind all of which the active forces of the California Miners Association are at work.
 The members of the Trans Mississippi Congress committee on department of mines failed to appear last week for the conference called by Chairman Tirey l.. Ford. Mir. Ford and the local commit an argument showing the need of a de- partment of mines will soon be printed. Hon.

COLONEL BRYAN AND MANILA.

There seems to be no way to please some
people, and of this number are those editors
and others who claim to speak for COL Will
liam J. Bryan. If not the guardians of his
political future they are so eager as to cause
a suspicion that they are the residuary Legal
tees of his former greatness. Just now they
are complaining that his regiment will be
sent to the Philippines simply to separate
him from his political friends and aspira-
tiOns by eight thousand miles They seem
to be laboring under the delusion that the
litical aspirations of Mr.. Bryan and his
friends to become realizations. This as
sumption is a misapprehension.
1t is generally understood that the adj
ministration made special concessions to
Nebraska that Mr.. Bryan might be colonel
This done it is assumed that, like other SOL
diers, Colonel Bryan will go where he is or
dered, even if it takes him thousands of
miles away from the United States. His Off
cious friends see in this separation designs
on the part of the administration to place
him where he cannot take part in the cam
paign of $685. If at Chickamauga, Tampa or
in Cuba he could not leave his command to
make campaign speeches.
If Mr.. Bryan's officious friends would sep
arate themselves from the public for an
hour and astonish themselves with an at
tempt to be logical they would see a pro-
priety in Colonel Bryans going to the Phil
ippines because it is alleged that, despite
the death of the 16-to-1 sophistry, it is still
his ruling passion. In the Philippines Col.
Bryan can behold the delights of an indie
pendent silver regime. A few months ago
ard silver. dollar of the United States had
double the purchase power of the Mexican
silver dollar. He did not seem to assimilate
this information, but when he arrives in
Manila he will find 1t so far from the United
States and so much stranger to gold that
the Mexican silver dollar. because it weighs
a few grains more than the United States
standard silver dollar has the greater val
ue In the Philippines, Colonel Bryan can OBJ
serve the progress which attends free and
unadulterated silver system. He can delight
himself with the prosperity and high intelli-
gence of a people who have never had any
other money than silver. He may be so eco
nomical with the discoveries which he may
make that he may desire to remain in such
a country
AS for the fall campaign. the observation
of Oregon regarding the 16-to-1 sophstry
does not afford encouragement for Colonel
Bryan to stake his future aspirations upon
that issue in the coming elections.

AMBULANCE SHIP SOLACE.
All the wounded Aboard Will RecOv-
CIR, Thanks to Modern Science.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Surgeon General
Van Reypen, of the navy, is back from a
trip to New York where he inspected the
naval ambulance ship, the Solace, and saw
the sick and wounded brought up from ADJ
miral SIMPSONS fleet, fifty-four in all. The
wounded include those who participated in
the engagements at Cardenas, Cienfuegos
and Matanzas. The men are doing we'll and
there will be no fatalities resulting. One of
the men will lose an arm, as that member
was so blown to pieces by a she'll that
amputation above the elbow was necessary.
All the other patients will be more for
tunate. Surgical science has made such
great advances since the civil war that there
will be no such great loss of limbs ana
other permanent dlsftgurements as occurred
thirty years ago. One of the men brought
up on the Solace had his thigh bone shat,
tered by piece of Spanish shell. The shell
went into the f1eshy part of the thigh, crush
ing the bone to spinterS and emerging on
the other side of the leg. 1t made a gaping
wound completely through the leg with the
thigh bone severed During the civil war such
a wound would have necessitated amputa-
ton of the leg near the hip. but under the
present methods of antiseptic treatment am
putaton was not necessary In this case.
The treatment already has shown that the
limb will be saved, although 1t may be
trihe shorter than before Not only is am
putaton aVerted, but the present methodS
of treatment do away with much of the
intense suffering the soldiers of the civil
war had to pass through. The other wounds
under treatment are not of a serious char
sacter.
The sufferers both sick and wounded,
showed their delight when taken aboard the
Soace. 1t is appointed like modern hos
ptal with cheerful wards ana every racifity
toward restoring health Some of the old
tars speedily named the Solace the ice
cream ship" as the ice-making ma chine
aboard permitted the nurses to give the sick
and wounded ice cream as one of their
delcacies. When chicken was served to
some of the patients they declared that they
were now living in hotel. The substan-
tials furnished by the navy, but many
decacies, such as lemons. oranges, jellies,
chickens. ETC., have been furnished by
private contribution and are looked upon In
the care of the sick as almost as essential
as solid foods. DR.. Van Reypen is gratitied
with the success of the Solace. 1t is "A dis
tinct departure in the care of sick and
wounded and at the outset was looked upon
as rather experimental.

The ranlSest cruelty Spain has ever shown
admitting that any of her acts of barbar-
been-is towards her own men2in the navy.
She sends them out to perform naval mira
.cles. without sufficient force in men or ves-
sells. She sends them against the nluckiest
fighters in the world, representing the
wealthiest nation in the world. That act in
itself is foolhardy and cruel, and yet even
then she does not equip them with suffi-
Gent fighting force and does not permit
them to surrender honorably when destruc-
ton or defeat is inevitable.
