q National Bimetallist: We take
particular pleasure in noting the
fact that Hon. Charles A. Towne,,
has been renominated for congress|
by the concurrent action Of the dem
ocrats, populists and silver republi-
cans of his district. This is an en-
inently fitting recognition of his
abilities and his services to the
cause. Mr.. Towne left the republi-5
can party under circumstances par!
ticularly distasteful to the party
leaders, but equally creditahle to-
himself. His commanding talents
and unique 70 ition made him q
shining mark in the last campaigni
and nothing that concentrated and
INSCRIPTIONS effort, backed by al
most unlimited money, could DO TO
defeat him, Was left undone. TIE
effort succeeded and he was beaten
by a slender margin. Occupying the.
position he does at the head OF the
silver republican organization and
with Il future of untold possibilities
before him, he would have been fullXs
justified in declining the nomination,I
with a chance Of a second defeat in a.
congressional race. But Mr.. TowneI
shrinks from no duty on behalf of
the cause for which he has .a|readvi
made so many sacrifices. He will
carry the standard of bimetallism
into the thickest of the fray, and.
whether in victory or defeat that
standard will emerge without a blot
or a stain. His district has done raj
grand thing in nomina ting him by
the practically unanimous voice of
three conventions, and it will per-
form a still grander act in electing\
him a member Of the seth congress.
So mote it be!''

ally there was the story Of a petty
theft. The military governor was anx-
ious to make an example of one of the
fellows who was disgracing the uni
form, and the time came. A volunteer
soldier, charged with standing guard at
the door of a jewelry shop while four
companions "held up the proprietor
at the point of pistol, was brought be-
fore him.
"Do you know what the penalty Of
this offense is if you are proved guilty?'
said General Wood sternly.
The fellow said he didn't, and his
tone was insolent and defiant.

General Woods greatest concern is
the health Of Santiago during the sum-
mer months AS a physician he knows
that much is to be done before the city
can be put into sanitary condition
that will check the spread Of yellow
fever. The plague exists in Santiago at
the present time in sporadic form, and
the wisdom of keeping the army in the
country has been indicated. August is
an unhealthy month in Santiago, and
September and October are worse. Resi-
dents will tell you that yellow fever is
usually epidemic in the city during
those months. General Wood has been
told SO. AS physician he has reputa-
tion to sustain, but there are no funds
for him to work with. TO use a poker
phrase, it is up to the government at
Washington. Is it going to hold up
Governor Woods hands or let him make
the fight alone?-New York Sun.

Reduction of Freight Rates.

Word was received in the city yester-
day that the Trans Mississippi Freight
committee had granted the request of
the mine owners of this country and
that the freight rates on cyanide had
been reduced to third class, thus max
ing a saving of about 81 a hundred on
the transportation charge on this com
modify, as formerly the rate was 1885
per hundred pounds, while, under the
new ruling, it is only 1921.
For the past year the leading mine
and mill owners of Utah, using the
cyanide process in ore reduction, have
been hard at work in securing this de-
sired concession on the part of the rail-
roads, and now that success has crown
ed their efforts they, as well as the
mining fraternity at large, are 20 be
congratulated as well as complim snted
and credit is due to one and all, and
it might be mentioned in this connec-
ton that the new order of things in
this direction is quite largely due to
the efforts of w. II. Cunningham,
cashier and auditor for DeLamar's
mining companies, who furnished and
compiled much of the facts and figures
in reference to the subject which were
submitted to the committee.

BIG MINING DEAL.
Sale of Campbell's Eagle Valley
Group to Dan Mcleod.

The Herald is officially Informed that
a big mining deal was consummated in
this city yesterday afternoon, whereby
the Campbell group of % claims, in
Eagle Valley district, Lincoln county,
Nevada, was sold by Hon. Allen G..
Campbell, Hon. r. c. Lund and Ben
Johnson. to Dan Mcleod, who, for
years, was superintendent of the Old
Jordan and Galena mines at Bingham.
The deal has been in contamination
for some time. but now that 1t is closed
the parties interested decline to make
the details of the transaction public,
/ but il is understood that the co2sid-
Grafton named in the deeds ran up into
the thousands, as it has leaked out that
an offer OF 100000, made some time
ago for the property, had been refused.
The Campbell group is in the imme-
diate vicinity of the Charlie Ross and
Buck groups, purchased a month or so
ago by Mr.. Mcleod, DR.. Nelson and Mr..
Lane, on which a magnificent showing
of high grade gold and silver ore has
been made within the past few weeks,
and which gives promise of developing
into a wonderful producer within the
very near future.
On the CamOben group the Lodges OF
gold quartz are mammoth in their pro-
portions, the bulk of the mineral being
low grade milling ore, but in the pros
ecutiOn of development and assessment
work or the different claims embraced
in the group, some large veins of high
grade rock have been disclosed.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Mcleod and
his associates to begin at once the thor
ough and intelligent development of
this new acquisition, and there is rea
son to believe that within a very short
time Deer Lodge, for thus the only
settlement in the district is called, will
be one of the leading gold producing
camps Of this great inter-mountain
region.
Adjoining the Campbell ground is the
Pickett group of claims, which is val
liable property, owned by Colonel Pick
EFT of this city, and Messrs. Froutmaa
and Clark; while just over the dividing
line in Utah, is the camp of Stateline.
where the new Popkees mill is now
grinding away on gold ore from the
Creole mine, in which w. ]. McBurney,
formerly of this city, is heavy owner.

gagged in the development of several
properties in Clifton, and that during
the past summer and fall they have
done assessment work and carried on
developments on 16 different claims, on
all of which there is a most satisfactory
showing of ore. The main work, how
ever, was done on the Immense claim,
embraced in the Minnehaha group, on
which they have three tunnels, which
are in mammoth bodies of mineral
which yield average metallic values of
per cent copper, 40 ounces silver and

Considerable work has also been done
on what is now called the Robinson
group, but which was formerly known
as the Coleman and Henry ground, and
in this property a ledge has been I'M
covered for some distance which is
from 10 Is feet in width, and which
carries values of 41.5 per cent copper,
6 ounces in silver and S1.20 in gold
Messrs. Henry and Robinson are en-
ploying q force of ten men, and the
colonel states that it is the intention
to crowd the work of development dur
ing the present year.
At the present time a large amount
of WORK IS being done in the district,
and Green and McVichie are giving
work to eight or ten men on valuable
properties, with c. S. Kinney, the vet
eran miner, in charge, and during the
past week, The Herald is informed, Mr..
Kinney was able to report a rich strike
on the Cyclone lode in Barney Reby
gulch, consisting of a three-foot ledge
of steel galena, which will go high in
its lead contents, and several hundred
ounces IN silver.
In other portions of the camp thor
cugh and efficient work is in progress,

ers in the district have quit looking for
the soft places in which to sink or drive
tunnels, but that they are driving
straight ahead in a miner-like manner,

Canada's Mineral Production.

Ottawa, Ont, Jan. 5.-rhe detailed
report of the geological survey upon
statistics of mines and minerals, for
the year 1896, has been issued. It gives
Canadas total mineral production for
the year as $22, SOC, 600, an increase of
125 per cent in ten years, the produc-
ton in 1886 having been $4,000, 600. The
increase of mineral production in the
United States for the same decade was
40 per cent. The annual production
per capita is IS in the United States
against $3.50 in Canada. In the pro-
duction of gold, British Columbia
stands credited with over 81 per cent,
and Nova Scotia with over 10 per cent.
The northwest territories, including The
Yukon district, came third, with Is per
cent, and Ontario fourth, with about .
per cent, while Quebec contributes
much under 1 per cent.
