IMPORTANT STRIKE AT PEARL.

Captain Bledsoe, who came in from
Willow Creek yesterday after having
completed some assessment work in
that district, reports that an important
strike has been made in the King mine
at Pearl.
Some months ago fine ledge of ore
was opened in this property. The ore
carried both gold and silver. Some of
it was very rich. The high grade ore
carries practically all its value in silver.
Specimens brought into the city
showed great leaves OF the pure metal.
1t was the first silver strike of any con-
sequence made in that district and
great interest was felt init.
Since the silver ore was opened the
owners have been prospecting the prop
erty further and this has been produc-
tive of still more important results.
The silver lead is on the south side
of porphyry dyke. The work that
has been done since it was opened has
been with the view of prospecting the
north side of the dyke.
A drift has been run through the
dyke, which is about so feet thick. On
the north side gold vein has been
found that is as rich in gold as the
other is in silver. Parties who have
seen the property say much of the ore
is wired with gold specimens making a
remarkable showing. The streak of
rich ore is some 80 inches in thickness.
Captain Bledsoe says there have been
no other very rich strikes in the dis
trict recently, but the work that has
been done during the fall and early
winter has resulted in some very good
bodies of ore being developed. The
miners feel encouraged oyer the out.

Says the Idaho World. Ex-senator
Dubois, leader of the Silver Republican
party of this state, has spoken in no
uncertain tones in opposition to the
Democratic party, and if he maintains
his present position will oppose any
fusion hereafter of the Silver Republic
ans and Democrats. Republican papers
of this State say that united Repub-
lican party will enter the contest, and
that the Silver Republican party will
be a thing of the past. We believe
these papers are true prophets of fu-
ture political events in Idaho. What is
known as the Silver Republican party
in this State was organized and held
together more for the purpose of re-
turning Dubois to the Senate than in
the interest of silver. If Dubois had
supported Mckinley and the lead
ers of the other wing of the Republi
can party had advocated the election
of Bryan, the personal of what was
known as the Silver Republican party
would have been very much as it was
as a Bryan party. Dubois had
strong personal following, determined
to follow whithersoever he might lead.
The purpose that cemented, this party
last year will be absent next year, so
we may safely predict that it will 20
out of business, but its membership
will not all go to the regular Repubn-
can party. The silver men in the
Silver Republican party, and
there are some such, will never
drift back into the Republican party.
Others whose admiration for Dubois
Outweighed loyalty to any political
principle naturally have no love for the
regular Republican organization which
so Unrelentingly opposed his re-elec-
ton, and unless the soreness over his
defeat is thoroughly healed before the
next campaign opens, the ex-Senator's
personal admirers cannot be counted
on to swell the ranks of the regular
Republican party. Now what party
will gain the bulk of the Silver Repub-
lican party is the question. Republic
ans do not usually take kindly to the
Democratic party when they sever
their connection with the Republican
organization. The majority of them
will go into any other party, partly or
wholly representing their principles,
in preference to the Democratic party,
even with the latter contending for
principles that are practically the
same as that of some other organiZa-
ton. For this reason it is safe to say
the Populists will gain more than will
the Democrats when the Silver Re
publican party goes to pieces. A per
cent, of the membership of the Silver
Republican party will make a desperate
effort to hold the organization together,
but will fail, for this per cent. will be
too small and too weak to maintain
the organization. With three gparties
in the political field next year-Demo-
cratic, Republican, and Popuhst-the
latter will have the greatest strength
and the Republican party will probab-
iy come next"
