Mr.. TOWNE AT SANTA ANA
AN ELOQUENT ARRAIGNMENT
OF THE GOLD STANDARD
The Silver Orator Holds the Rapt
Attention of Another Large
Aforementioned

SANTA ANA. Feb. 19.-Hon. c. A. Towne
and party arrived here at 1890 n. m They
were met at the depot by reception com
rnittec headed by DIR. NJ. a. Menges. pres
ident OF the Orange County Silver Repub-
iican club. and conducted to the Richelieu
hotel The distinguished visitor was per-
mitted to rest and recuperate during the
greater part of the day In Sturgeon S
hall. at s p. m, he was introduced to Il
large and epprcciative apdiencc. which he
held for two and q half hours in raDt at
tention. evidenced by frequent bursts of
enthusiastic applause.
Among many propositions made and
proved, the following may be mentioned:
No people in any nation ever voted for
the gold standard. The gold standard was
never openly advocated by any American
unit! three years ago. No man can defend
the gold standard, except he who is out of
debt and has debts due him payable in gold
General oVer-production is impossible, for
let production cease for eight months and
the world would starvc. The law which
changes the value of the money unit so
that II requires more products of any Kind
to pay a debt when due than when con-
tractcd robs the producer. The dollar of
greatest purchasing power is the worst.
TOT IL argues tn1t inc uOlldr liilt buJS lOV
bushels of wheat is better than the dollar
which buys one bushel. Japan and other
nations were driven to the gold standard
ny the moncy-lenders of Europe. We did
not get the gold standard all at once. We
are not vet fully on it. MIR. Gage is striv-
ing to put Us on It, The annual consump
ton of gold in arts and sciences has over
taken production; therefore, the money
supply must continually diminish. Give
silver equal rights with gold, and the
money supply can be kept up. A j0cent
dollar is as impossible as siX-inch foot.
The orator showed with convincing argu-
ment that the Use of silver as money will
give it market value equal to its money
value; that England has dictated, TO our
shame, our present financial policy. and
closed with a glowing tribute to William
Bryan. asserting that the cause
is growing, and that Mr.. Bryan. If NOM
mated, will be elected, for all opposing sill
forces are marching as 4
unit and volunteers are daily falling into
line.
Mr.. Towne and party leave for San Diego
in the morning.

RANDSBURG DEVELOPMENT
The Proposed New Mill at Barstow
Notes of Mines and Miners

RANDSBURG. Feb. 1S.AA meeting of
the citizens of Randsburg and Johannes
burg has been called for Sunday afternoon.
The purpose of the meeting is to confer
with the railroad officials with reference
to the new mill at Barstow and freight
rates from this camp The mill is in course
of construction and under the contract
must be completed and ready for operation
by April IS. Albert Smith. vice president
of the Kramer and Randsburg railway,
and superintendent of construction of the
Barstow mill, will be present and give in
formation regarding milling rates and
transportation.
The Yellow Aster Mining company had
1856 men on its pay roll for the month of
January. The stamps of three mills at
Garlock are kept dropping on their ore but
are not able to keep up with the output. 1t
is said the company intend erecting a mil!
of their own as soon as the necessary wa
ter can be secured.
While digging the trench on Butte av-
enue for the water pipes a good ledge was
uncovered. From the mornings it is esti-
mated the ore will mill about $50 per ton
The ground has been leased and shaft
is being sunk.
a per cent dividend has just been paid
on the Little Butte stock.
AT a recent meeting of the citizens COM
mittee proposition was made to the Jo-
hannesburg Milling and Water company to
pipe water into Randsburg.
Parrish, Rice & Co. have started a new
stage line between RaSdsburg a - mojave

Lower Freight Rates

JOHANNESBURG Feb. 1S.-President
Woodland of the Kramer and Randsburg
railway returned to johannesburg Tues
day evening accompanied by Vice Presi-
dent Smith of the same road, General Pas
senger Agent Byrne and General Freight
Agent Chambers of the Santa Fe and
President Moore of the Tehacnapi Milling
and Trading company. The party spent
Wednesday at Garlock and Randsburg
looking over the freight situation, and a
lowering of freight rates will be the prob
able outcome. Whether the freight rates
are materially lowered or not will not
make so much difference in the prosperity
of the district if way is provided for the
hauling and milling of low grade ores
Capital has gone to Klondike and the poor
man is left to develop his mine the best
way he can. In most instances much low
grade ore must be handled before the high
grade can be reached. and on the profitable
handling of this ore the present prosperity
OF the camp rests.

it is TO remain dry has Set the orchacdists
to irrigating at time when Il is quite un-
usual to do SO. Another reason for the eX-
ira work in this line al the present time is
the fact that the company will turn the
water out OF the canals for couple of
