DE Lamar Nugget.
Captain De LaMar's Golden
Gate mill at Mercur is now
merrily in motion and we hope
turning out for its nervy own
er enough bullion to bring his
daily income up to a figure
which will rank him away up
among the moneyed barons of
the world. 1t is the biggest
quartz mill in the world.
What nerve and energy its
owner has shown! How we'll
he deserves the smiles of for
tune! Ten years ago he came
to Idaho, climbed War Eagle
mountain; tried to dicker for
a property up there; went from
there to South Mountain and
looked that deserted camp
over very thoroughly and
tried to make a deal for the
entire group of mines but
found two or three "dogs in
the manager" there; and then
he bought the Wilson claim
here and the Cosmos mill in
Silver City. In these days he
had for partners two fat and
wealthy Chicago Dutchmen,
who could not run at the little
Captains pace, and he had a
tough time of it for a couple
of years, often being hard
pushed for means but never
letting a pay day pass without
the money to settle. The
Dutchmen put up $12,5oo to
pay for the Wilson mine and
then locked their safe and lost
the combination, leaving the
to go it alone. He
wrung money enough out of
the ground to keep it going,
and at intervals one or the
other of his close listed part.
1ers would come out to quar-
rel with him, and many were
he instances when amused
listeners heard Amsterdam
Dutch invectives flying out of
:hree threats at once. But
he two big Dutchmen couldn't
hold the little one down. He
got an option on their inter.
EST in the mine, which they
had done everything in their
power to prevent him from de-
seloping, and the Captain fl
1ally paid them half a million
dollars to go away and let
lin alone. Then, year la.
:er, after having put quarter
dollars betterments
lpon the property and taking
,ut more than a million he
old it to the present owners
or money and stocks, finally
ealizing for it nearly three
Millions. About 100000 of
his sum he invested in Boise |,

property and improvements.
About this time he told the
writer that the money he now
had was nice nest egg and
he could "do something in the
way of mining" But he got
Disguised at the manner in
which the Boiseites plainly
showed that they considered
him good plucking and let go
on that city, which his enter
prise would have made pros.
porous, and sold out at a loss.
Then while his experts were
looking for a mining property
which would suit him, he took
a whirl in society and came
out, after a winters siege, with
a capture which made him the
envy of the Four Hundred
a charming, accomplished and
beautiful wife, whose picture
is today being paraded in New
York as that of lone of the
four most beautiful women in
the world" But society did
not curtail his energy, and the
''nest egg' he left with secured
him a section of Nevada desert
which he has made blossom
into one of the greatest gold
mines on the continent, from
which he now realizes an an
nual income of nearly two mil
lions. But a little thing like
that could not stop him and
he invaded Utah, grabbed the
identical piece of territory
where Albert Sidney Johnson
camped with his army and ate
mules IN 1859, when President
Buchanan Sent him opt to do
up the Mormons.
With a portion of his Ne
vada income expended there,
Camp Floyd, now known as
Mercur, has been equipped by
Captain De La Mar with what
is easily this biggest quartz
mill in the world. He has
done more than this. He has
evolved a method of working
a low grade and arsepjcal ore
at a profit, and thereby created
value for property which
before he evoked the aid of
science was practically value
less.
There are still weather.
mining men than Captain De
La MAR, Dut not one among
them all who has exhibited
more daring or achieved more
within given number of
years. And he is still a young
man! He has able men trav-
cling for him looking for some
thing else to tackle, That
nest egg he picked up in owy-
hee is not porcelain door
knob, and it will be deposited
again somewhere in the west
where the birds will find it
and lay more golden eggs
around it,

Mining With Profit is Made a
Pastime.
Spokane Chronicle.
The discovery of phonolite
gold bearing lodges on the
slope of Salmon river, about
eight miles from here, is Gre
ating a ripple of excitement at
the present time. In company
with others, ! recently paid
the field a visit to verify the
rumors regarding the latest
find.
The general lay of the coun-
try is steep hillsides, covered
by green bunch grass and
wild flowers. Here and
there a stately pine dots the
landscape. About one mile
away to the southwark rolls
the majestic river, long since
made famous by yielding mill
ions in placer gold. Here be-
meath these green verdant hills
lie the hidden veins that pro.
duced the gold found in the
'6o's. Here lie dormant for
want of capital to develop,
some of the greatest bodies of
ore in Central Idaho.
In a land where snowfall is
rare indeed, in a land where
mining can be made a pleas.
ant pastime with great gain,
nature has done all she could
in this field. First placing
large bodies of gold-bearing
quartz In mother earth; then
cutting deep canyons cross
wise, exposing the bodies of
ore at great depth, making it
the ideal spot where mining
can be done cheaply. A
water power SECOND to none
on earth is waiting to be har-
messed to the dynamo and
made suhservient to the wants
Of man. These great bodies
vary in width from five to
twenty feet, and traceable for
miles, will eventually be the
drawing star for mining in
vestors. He who is seeking
property, where no expensive
hoist is needed to operate his
mine. can find here what
is desired.
Among A number of good
properties now being develop
ed one might call special at
tention to the International,
Kearsarge, Vulcan, Iroquois
and the Home quartz claims,
the latter showing a continu-
Gus ore chute on the surface
for 1900 feet, ranging in width
from three to ten feet. At
the face of a fifty foot drift on
this property there is five feet
Of solid quartz, assayiHg from
SIS to 500 per ton, some
specimens as high as $500.
Undoubtedly this is one of the
largest bodies of ore yet found
iq tbis mineral zone.
What is needed to make
this field the Klondike Of Idaho,
is simply men and money to
develop. | knew of no SECTION

HAS KEPT FAITH.

The regeneration of the country
which has taken place during the
past twelve months under Re-
publican rule can best be appre-
dated by comparing present con-
ditionS with those which existed
under the Democratic admins
ration that ended March a, 1897.
During the four years immedi-
ately preceding that date, the
chronic and constitutional inca
pacity for governing which is the
chief characteristic of the Demo-
cratic party, was manifest as
never before. By the enactment
of that stupendous failure known
as the Wilson bill, the mills and
factories of the country were COM
PEELED to stop work, industry was
paralyzed, insufficient revenue
was secured, the national debt
was needlessly increased by hun
dredS of millions. of dollars, and
confidence in the business world
was utterly destroyed. The
country, in, every respect, was in
4 lamentable condition when the
Republicans came into power.
Yet within the space of one

EASTER.
April

The observance of Easter dates
back to about the year 68, al
which time there was much con-
tention among the Eastern and
Western churches as to what day
the festival should be observed.
1t was finally ordained at the
Council of Nice in the year 325
that it must be observed through
out the Christian world on the
same day. This decision settled
that Easter should be kept upon
the Sunday first after the four
teenth day of the first Jewish
month, but no general conclusion
was arrived at as to the cycle by
which the festival was to be re-
gulated, and some churches
adopted one rule and some an
other. This diversity of usage
was put an end to, and the Ro-
man rule making Easter the first
Sunday after the fourteenth dav
of the calender moon was eStob-
lished in England in 66o. After
nine centuries discrepancy in the
keeping of Easter was caused by
the authorities of the English
Church declining to adopt the
reformation of the Georgian
Calendar in 1882. The differ
ence was settled in 1852 by the
adoption of the rule which makes
Easter Day always the first Sum-
lay after the full moon which an

year all this has been changed.
Republication resumed its old
job Of National housekeeping, the
country and its affairs were
speedily put in order, energy and
wisdom supplanted slothfulness
and folly, and we are again on a
paying basis. The Republican
party has kept its promises, has
maintained faith with the people,
and has once more demonstrated
that it is able to grapple with any
emergency and guide the Union
into the path that leads to plenty
and prosperity.-Cincinnati Trib-

COMPARISON OF PRICES.

The disposition of free silver
organs and orators to deny the
improvement in farm products
which has occurred in the face of
the steady fall in the price of sill
yer has led somebody to make a
comparison of the prices quoted
in the Omaha World-Herald of
recent date with its quotations at
the date of the adoption of the
Chicago platform. This table is
especially interesting since it in
cludes practically all articles of
farm production, showing an in
crease in the price of every one,
and thus controver,ing the asser-
ton that the increase in prices is
confined to breadstuffs and due to
the shortage abroad. The table,
which has just been published in

THE WAY OUT,

The announcement of decree
of absolute divorce severing the
political ties which for years have
united Fred Dubois and Willis
Sweet, places a good many poll
ticians in an awkward dilema.
But perhaps they may learn a
wholesome lesson from a good,
old Mormon elder of Moab
County who, just before the is
suance of President Woodruff's
manifesto, had taken 70 himself
two fair daughters of Zion, One
of them was a blonde, the other
a brunette. The elder was much
distressed and the manifesto was
being vigorously supported by

THE ONLY GENUINE.

Evidently the Salt Lake Trib-
une believes there are no genu-
inc, principle pure, 16 to I de-
voices in Utah except solely and
alone the Silver Republicans.
Answering a query as to what
silver men should do, the Tribune,
referring to the Democracy, says:
"The best way for real silver zen
is to draw away from that organi-
cation, and, perfecting an organi-
cation of their own, work on in
dependent lines. This will enable
them to cast their votes where
hey will do the most good; more
over, they will all the time be
sure Of their own standing. The
gold party of the east has most of
the money. Most of the dele
gates to a national convention
come from the states east of the
Mississippi river. A wholesale
expenditure of money is liable to
fill the next Democratic National
with a majority of
gold delegates. In that case the
great mass of shouting, free-silver
Democrats in Utah, would sud- |
denly become gold men. This is
a most probable outcome, and
real silver men should have no
entangling alliances with men
who, when the crucial time ar
rives, are liable to be shouting on
he other side"

no parallel in Europe. On a

now we have only the nucleus of
an army and the beginning of a

have made war preparation their
principal business for a whole
generation. 1t is to be suspected
that one reason why the American
people have bought the news
