Scarcely was she seated before they

She was severely criticised by them for

turned around. She noticed at

SOME OTHER WORKING MINES.
Mr.. Moore says there are
many properties that are at
present being developed in
the Warren camp, and only
the lack of adequate transpor-
tation keeps Others from dong
work.
The Rescne, which is in the
Warrcns camp, has paid IT'S
owners $lIo,ooo. There is
about 5000 feet of work done
on the property, and the low
est depth attained is 200 feet.
The Little Giant, which is
owned BY the pioneer prospec-
tor, George Riebold, and was
discovered BY him while work
ing a placer mine II years
ago, has paid its owner over a
quarter of a million dollars,
and ore has been taken from
the claim which was worth
from ST. to 81 per pound.
Four tons of ore from this
mine, shipped to San Fran
cisco, netted the owner over
5000, and one run of eight tons
Melted 5000 to the ton.

While the great excitement

tiers in klondiSe and Alaska,
it is, nevertheless, a fact that
within a comparatively few
miles of Spokane there is a
mining district that is fast de-
vtloping into veritlblc klon,

looked by the vast majority of
those who are so eager for
gold. Those who are inter
estcl in mining properties
there, are however, perfectly
satisfied with the outlook for
the future, and have no desire
to Join in the foolish rush to
klondike. The region which
will soon begin to attract wide
notice among mining men and
capitalists commences near
Florence, Idaho, and extends
south and east, taking in Elk
City, Warren, Dixie and the
Seven Devils country. 1t is a
wild and rugged country at
present, far removed from rail
road transportation, bat whose
wonderful mineral wealth can
not fail to attract within a
short time one of the large
transcontinental lines that pass
both to the north and south OF
that section.

1t Is impossible to express an opinion,
at this time as 10 the duration of the
war and when the Spanish mind will
arrive at the conclusion that each day
it is continued will add additional humili-
tation to its national pride. When the
Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Cuba are
in possession Of the American troops,
through the intervention OF European
Powers Spain may be brought TO realize
that her sacrifices have vindicated her
national honor
| earnestly hope that the spirit OF pa
triotism will be illustrated by the char
acter of proceedings that should take
place in every town and city in the
Union on the Fourth. No more oppor-
tune moment could be seized upon in this
hour of national victory than to direct
the minds of our people to the wise and
conservative thoughts of the Father OF
his Country" and the patriots of the past,
to avoid entangling alliances while at the
same time they reassert with firmness
and fearlessness the new international
doctrine promulgated by Monroe, and
which has given freedom 10 an entire
Continent, and prevented alliances which
would have enabled the Mother Country
to hold in subsection or reconquer Ameri-
can colonies.

The superiority of the American navy,
giving US command Of the ocean, and
thereby cutting off the Spanards in Cuba
from all source of supplies, will ensure
an early end of the war. Prudence and
humanity forbid us 10 push our soldiers
into the yellow-fever districts until fan,
then there will be a short, sharp cam
paign against Habana, and the curtain
will fall on the last act OF Spanish do
minion and cruelty i'm America. The
coming Fourth of July should be cele-
brated as never before, because we now
have u reunited country in fact as well as
name. But l would especially empha-
size the necessity for renewing our ac-
quaintance with the principles enunciated
in the great Declaration. The shadow of
imperialism hangs over the republic.
Plutocracy Is entrenched in her high
places. Americans, while glorying in the
heroism of Dewey and Hobson, should
not forget that the Roman empire rOtted
at the core as it increased III area. We
can safely rest under the Star SDangled
Banner as long as 1t floats over anything

gruous peoples mean a large standing

SENATOR PETTIGREW.

If the war had been carried on upon
the high plane where we placed it in the
beginning, that of freeing the oppressed
people of Cuba, and that result had been
accomplished, as it might be accomplish
ed before our next Fourth of July, and
then we had said we would not acquire
any territory, as we did say in the be-
ginning, the coming Fourth Of July would
be the most memorable in our history.
and one tending to arouse the highest
sentiment of patriotism and enthusiasm
among our people AS it is, l fear we
will have little occasion to rejoice. We
have entered upon a career of conquest,
and upon the acquisition of territory re-
mote from our shores, upon the govern
ment of an unwilling people; upon the
oppression of those who have no desire
to be governed by us; upon the European
policy of plundering the inferior nations
of the earth.
If the coming Fourth OF July will arouse
in our people, by recalling TO their minds
the memory of the past those sentiments
of justice and equality among men so
earnestly taught in the early days of our
history. il will accomplish much good.
We should establish free governments
repubics-one in Manila, one in Cuba,
and one in Porto Rico, and thus build a
monument 10 those who offered their
lives in this contest that will add new
glory TO our flag,
