Like the Days Of 0.d.

Every week nowadays, and some
times several times week, briggs
news Of the discovery of gold, sill
yer or copper mines somewhere in
this country. The rush to the new
Eldorados reminds one of the
days of old, the days Of gold. the
days Of 49," II is now just half
a century since the gold discover
les in California reused the people
with dreams of fabulous wealth
Through the present discoveries
the nation is acquiring wealth
faster and with more certainty than
at the earlier period. The certainty
comes from the circumstance that
the discoveries cover larger ex-
tent of territory than they did then,
and by the further circumstance
that the methods Of extracting the
metal from refractory ores are lar
in advance Of what they were for
merly. The stories of new and ex.
tensive zones of precious metal
told by the prospectors of Idaho,
Alaska, California, Colorado, Ar.
IONA aud other states and terrific
ries indicate the wide range and
extensive operations Of the new
sources of wealth, The story o.
the industrial expansion and pros
peri,y produced by the gold dis
coveries in California and Austria
liza, which cast a glow over the
social history of the United State,
and Europe fifty years ago, /.
likely to be repeated in broader
field at the present day.

Gals, who, under Altgeld, Williams
and Tillman, insist upon 10 to / as
the corner stone of the party struc-
ture, and who are willing to see the
party defeated in 1900 rather than
see this issue in any way modified
or made subordinate to any other
issue. Next. the conservatives
ike Stone, Walsh aud German,
who want TO run in 1900 and who
think they would increase the
party's chances Of success by the
adoption OF platform less radical
than the pronunciamento Of 1896
a platform on which the gold dem
ocrats could stand without stultify'
ing themselves, and which at the
same time would not be a surren-
der of the position taken by the
party in 1896. Lastly, the straight
out gold men, like most of the east.
ern democrats, who favor a decla
ration for bi-metallism, but who
are opposed to insistence on 10 to 1
as the ratio between the money
metals. Among these factions
Bryan now fits as a harmony but
terhy. He wants the nomination
too bad to make enemies anywhere
He is carrying water on both Shout
ders and is ready to do the sum-
mersault act whichever way the
final platform is fixed.

The Water Problem on the Hill.

What relief will the city council
and the water companies give to
the residents on the Hill, is the
question which the council must
settle at its coming regular meet
ing on next Monday night. Last
month a petition was presented,
signed by the residents of that
part of the city. asking that FIRE
hydrants be established in that
section for the protection OF life
and property. The petition was
referred to a committee and will
probably come up for action Mon
day night.
As result of the rapid growth
Of the city a large and valuable
resident section is now located
on the Hill. II is estimated
that the property valuations now
in that portion exceed S2oo, 600,
and the amount Is increasing rap
idly. This section is now wholly
without fire protection and the ad,
vantages Of sewerage, though the
owners are paying specified tax
for the same into the city treasury
under the present tax levy. To
bring the relief the people ask the
council is confronted with the prob,
lem of placing fire hydrants, and
their contract with the water com
pany provides that when water for
fire purposes is needed on the Hill
the city shall contract for no less
than ten hydrants. These under
stipulation cost Sr75 each, or a
total increase of Sia5o per annum
Tor the improvement.
1t would be hard to see just how
the council with any show of fair
ness could deny the residents oil
the Hill the relief asked for in their
petition now before that body.
Taking the present property valu.
alton in that part of the city at the
rate OF the levy for ERE purposes
and citizens of that section will this
year pay into the treasury $1,000
for benefit which. under present
is denied them; and
there is no doubt that, having an
adequate an ample water supply,

There is even more of boom
in copper than In gold. Last
years production Of copper in the
United States was $40, 37s, SOL
pounds, and the annual increase is
10 per cent. The increased de-
mand for copper in the arts, conse-
quent upon the rapid development
OF electrical machinery, exceeds
the increase oil the output. The
copper market Is on the boom,
and the strongest capitalized syn.
dicates in the world are now in
the field to secure all the promis'
ing copper properties. The new
discoveries in the Seven Devils and
Imnaha districts will be bought
up readily If they have anything
like the values claimed for them by
their locators. A half dozen strong
copper syndicates have represent
atives in the field to look after just
such properties, Not only will
these prospects be purchased but
rapid development will be made in
opening the mines and reducing
the ores. Nothing in the history
Of this country is so likely to has
ten its development as much as the
recent copper discoveries along
Sake river. II the ore is there in
the quantities claimed, railroads
will be built and ,melters and re-
duction works will be located at
some convenient point. The new
field will develop one of the great
est industries known in the history
Of mining.
