Senator Carter, OF Montana,
speaking Of politics in the west
says that the silver interests will
progress side by side with other
material interests CT the west and
that no rational man now expects
that the American people will cast
every other interest overheard,
sacrificing every opportunity
which the late war opened mp, and
rush head long back to the special
train campaign of 1896. Ever
democrats OF high standing among
Bryan's friends are giving utter
ance to views OF similar character
The war and its results hav,
created new issues in politics ant
the democrats, even the Bryanit'
wing have to face the facts as the,
are fast developing.

The opening up of the old work.
ings of the Democrat mine in Pierce
celebrates the progress of mining
in this district. ]. l.. Dunn, who
takes hold of the property knows
bis business thoroughly. This
man has thousand feet of,tunnels
and shafts and great body of ore
is exposed and ready for STOPPING.
This ore has been thoroughly
sampled and its value is assured
by thorough tests. The develop
ment of transportation and the i'm
provements in facilities for work
ing ores have given this property
new value. Science has made this
mine valu lble after twenty years.
The same condition applies to ev-
cry proposition, old and new In
this basin. The wealth Of the dis.
trict has been known for thirty-6 FIVE
years but it was not available until
the advent of railroads, cheap con-
centrators and cheap chemical pro-
cesses of reduction enabled the
miner to extract this wealth from
the everlasting rocks at profit.
The present value of these depos-
its is determined now with math-
ematical precision. We are given
this wealth more by development
than by discovery. 1t is now a
positive fact that our mountains
hold ore enough to employ half q
million men for many generations
at a profit over good wages fol
their labor. As the railroads make
thej reservation lands valuable
the transportation facilities and
the genius of the age make these
ores valuable. The new land added
to agriculture in the past years in
this basin adds $40, 900, 900 to the
assets of this basin; the analogous
processes of this development
bring mineral wealth of perhaps
81 900 coo, 600.

The fact that the Northern Pa
cihc Railroad Company has de-
cided to build 10 Camas Prairie is
evidence that the rivalry of the
o. K & y. is still recognized
The Northern would not be com.
pelled to build the Cottonwood
spur to hold the trade ofthat re
gion if there was no probability oil
competition in the district beyond
Crsig's mountain. The extension
of one road to the wheat belt OF the
interior compels the other to build
or abandon the field. The North
ern extension will compel the O.
r. & n. to build or abandon al

A study Of the man Of n

A study Of the map Of the newly
discovered mining regions of the
Clearwater and Salmon river ba.
sins discovers the fact that a radius
Of ZOE miles with Lewiston as a
center, swept across the state from
the mountains to the Snake river
boundary would include all the
great mineral regions Of the sec
tion, both new and old. Thus
favored geographically Lewiston
is the natural center for the develop
ment OF this vast mineral wealth.
Every mine opened and worked
will accentuate the demand for
transportation Of ore and concen.
trates, and the railroads when
built, seeking easy gradients to
transfer their freight will find an
outlet through Lewiston, the gate
way. Any development Of the re-
sources of the interior will only
hasten the development OF Lewis
ton, its natural commercial center.

President Mckinley has rescind-

has taken over 1000 positions out
OF the classified lists OF the civil

mostly Of the so-called "conhden-

confidential clerks. men who never
should have been included in the
classified lists. Democrats are nat.
urally raising a great howl and &C.
cusing the President of abandon
