A Great Geological Garden,

A Geological Society of New York
propose to construct what will probably
be the finest geological garden in the
world in Bronx Park, New York. The
society expects to open the garden to
the public IN a satisfactory way on Nav
1, 1899. While the work is progressing
with all due rapidity, the old and well
approved plan OF relieving b~iliousness
and constipation through the benefcent
agency of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
finds general recognition. This excel.
family medicine is a safeguard
against malaria and rheumatism, an |,

The quarrel seems to be on
between Gen. Miles and the
War department. Since be.
fore Congress adjourned Gen.
Miles has been in trouble in
that quarter. He told a dis.
tinguished Senator a few days
after war was proclaimed, that
he did not know what to do,
that he was SO handicapped in
high places with ignorance and
rascality, that he was almost
powerless to act.

When the California farmer
considers these things, he will
not be long in deciding that
Congressman Maguire's idea
of taxation is his idea too.
We suspect that it will be a
dangerous proceeding for the
California monopolists to raise
the single tax issue against

One thing has been demon.

is, that squirrels cannot be ex.

The present board believe that
more good can be accomplish.
ed by the county buying strych-
nine and other poisons, and
distributing them among the
farmers, letting the latter put
it where their Judgment deems
best.
The object of a bounty was
if possible to reduce the mum.
Der of squirrels. Instead, in
many instances, it was turned
into a money making scheme,
without any thought of doing
the county good. The amount
paid out would have bought
enough poison to kill all the
animals in the county, but of
course this wa not known and
it had to be learned by exper.
fence.

too much for the good receiv.

as the others who have seen it.
We learn from Frank
Brown that property owned
by Dahl, Wiley and Fisher
on Big Creek is showing up
well. These gentlemen have
some very big ore bodies in
that section, and while they
are inclined to be base they
carry good values and will be
valuable mines.
S. l.. Agnew, w. N. De-
Moss, James Strong and
Robert Witter, have struck a
bonanza on California creek,
twelve miles northeast of the
warm springs. These gentle
men arrived in camp yester-
day, and say they cleaned up
$500 in 80 days with surface
water. The dirt averages 10
cents to the pan. They have
located four claims and are
going back to build bitches
and get their claims in shape
for next seasons run. There
has also also been a quartz dis.
covery made in the same To-
cality by John Clair and John
Costello. Their discovery is
reported to be a vein 20 inches
thick of solid f%ree.milling gold
quartz, that runs from $40 to
$40 per ton.
The first pack train load of
ore from the recent discovery
at Buffalo Hump arrived in
Florence Wednesday. There
is a little over a ton of it and
is the first installment of a car.
load that is to be shipped to
the Tacoma smelter for a test.
The ore is from the Big Buff
falo, one of Robins and Rig
ley's locations, and looks fine.
Frank Brown, who is running
the pack train says they will
not stop with a carload but
will continue to pack out as
long as the trail remains open.
Everybody coming in from
Rigley says the lodges are all
showing up fine wherever
work is being done.
We hear wonderful reports
from the Monte Christie, own
ed by Jas. Turner. Mr.. Turner
is pushing development work
on this claim.
Quite a number of mining
men and representatives of
capital are arriving in Florence
en- route to the new camp.

Second-That we favor the
free coinage of gold and silver
at the legal ratio of 16 of sill
yer to of gold, without wait
ing for the consent of any
other nation. We recognize
the financial question as the
paramount issue of the day.
Third-Indorse the address
by the national committees of
the three silver parties of the
nation urging cooperation in
the interests of bimetallism.
Fourth.-We heartily in
dorse the present state admin

future control of the water and
irrigation systems of the state.
Seventh-Many of the acts
of the preceding state legisla.

a manner established by re-
publican precedent, which now
appear to be unconstitutional,

county in the state of Idaho

Ninth-We demand that
the sovereign power to issue

to them the power to increase

medium at will.
Tenth-We extend to the

a great many years doctors pronounced
it local disease, prescribing local remedies
