DICK BLAME IL DEAD.

Another name has been added 70 tne
roll Of our nations illustrious dead. Az
an early hour Thursday morning. June
l5, the spirit Of "Silver Dick" Bland
forsook it's earthly tenement and ook
its fight to the realm Of Immortality
it's eternal home beyond the SKIES
Deaths visit was not unexpected, Tor
the victim had for many weeks been
patiently and even hopefully awaiting
the coming Of the grim messenger to
summon him from the scene oil his
earthly sufferings 10 the world where
main and sorrow are unknown.
Richard Parks Bland was born August
10, 1895, at Hartford, in the State OF
Kentucky. He studied law in his native
town, from whence he emigrated in the
early sixties to the territory OF Nevada.
He practicsd his profession for a few
years at Virginia City, and there are
many old.time C~omstockers who retain
most pleasant recollections of the quiet
and unassuming man whose name has
since become famous in connection with
the great financial problem OF the age.
From Nevada he went to Missouri.
settling ct the town Of Lebanon, which
was his home until the time Of his death.
In 1872 he was elected to Congress from
his district, and was reelected continu-
ously until 1896. 10 the Forty-foarth
Congress he introduced the bill which
was known by his name. restoring silver
to it's original position, with free and
unlimited coinage ct the minis. 1t
passed the House in that condition. but
was amended 10 the Senate limiting the
coinage to . : 1000. 900 minimum and
81 200, 900 monthly maximum rate. The
act remained in force until the passage
of the Sherman law, by which ii was
repealed.
The bi-metallic cause loses . powerful
advocate and friend in the death Of Dick
Bland. II was the aim, object and hope
of his life TO see the white metal restored
to its proper place in the currency
volume Of the nation. He did not live
to enjoy to realization of his hearts
fondsst wish, but the work he inaugur.
Ated will be continued by others, and
his name will ever be cherished by bis
co-workers in the great cause to which
he gave so many OF the best years OF his
active and useful life.-Reno Journal.

PREDICTs sILvER's ADVANCE

A recent New York dispatch says:
The London Financial Times quotes NJ.
Neymarck. q French authority. as saying
that several causes had combined to bring
about the improvement in the price Of sill
yer. They had included an increased use
OF the metal for industrial purposes as q
result of low prices. There has also been
an increase in the fractional currency re-
quirements of Italy, Belgium and Switzer-
land. and 9 diminution in the stocks Of
silver money in the principal European
banks. The production Of the mines has
been decreasing. Below 25hd, the mine
owners nave had little object in increasing
the output.
The Colonial expansion of Europe in the
Far East, has exerted an influence. France
Is face to face with q large expenditure for
public works in her Indo-Chinese posses
sions and Europe is TO spend nearly f40,-
000, 900 in railway and other construction
in China. The old continent ia preparing
to transform the ancient yellow country
and TO attract a population Of 800, coo, 600
inhabitants. The people Of Indo-China
and Of China itself are acquainted only
with the white metal as Q mode OF pay
ment. As it has been put: "The white
races make their money out Of the yellow
metal and the yellow races make their
money out Of the white metal" M. Ney-
marck concludes by expressing an opinion
that the rise In silver is only beginning
and that IL will gradually advance to from
SD TO SOD, as the opening up Of China in
creases.

OF INTEREST TO MINERS.
Locating and Marking Claims So
as 10 be Free From Adverses.

A location notice may be written, printed
or engraved on any substance.
Red ink or typewriter printing will soon
fade. Lead pencil writing will last longer
than ink, and be legal.
Location notices must contain the fol-
lowing: Name or names OF locators. date
Of location, and a sufficient description by
reference to natural objects or permanent
monuments TO identify the claim and to
distinctly trace its boundaries.
A claim may be 1 800 feet in length and
300 feet on each side OF the middle OF the
vein or lode, but no larger.
At least 500 worth Of work or improve
ments must be mazda on each u~npatented
claim in each year, and unless 80 made the
claim may be relocated. But If theo owner
or owners begin work at any time before
relocation is made their right holds good.
That is, an owner may hold his claim by
beginning work instead Of by relocsting,
even after the beginning of a new year, If
no other locator has interfered.
No claim can be recorded until 8 vein or
lode. or at least indications, have been dis.
covered upon 1t at some point.
Within a reasonable time the location
should be properly recorded.
The law makes no distinction on account
Of sex, and q minor may make q valid To-
cation.
A location made in the name of . prin.
cipal cannot be claimed by the person act-
ing as agent in msking the location.
II a notice does not specify the extent of
q claim it will relate only to the place
where it s~tands-ssy Q place to start q
shaft and no more.
A location may be made on any day.
Lines cannot be changed after location
to interfere with previous rights Of others.
A stake or monument at each end Of claim
showing that the locator claims the ground
from stake to stake and . specified number
of feet on each side is sufficient to hold 9
claim.
II a person takes up more ground than
allowed by law, il does not invalidate his
claim, but he cannot hold more thar 1900
by 600 feet in one claim.
Locators are not held to absolute accu-
rscy, but description will be considered
sufficient il IL puts an honest inquirer in

ROBBED OF sos.
klntlre Farmer Regrets Hiring a
Man in the Dark.

Ingebregt Johnson, who recently
purchased the J. L. Dunnlng farm,
one mile east of Belview, hired a
man for harvesting shortly after
dark last Sunday evening. The
next morning Mr.. Johnson awoke
to find his man gone, and with him
about $95 in the coin Of the realm.
The robbery happened in this way.
Mr.. Johnson wanted help for his
harvesting, which was to commence
early Monday morning. He drove
to Belview after dark, and there
saw man who was willing to work,
and with whom he made a contract
for the harvesting period. The
man jumped into the buggy with
him and the two drove to Mr.. John
sons farm. Shortly after arriving
there Mr.. Johnson assigned the
hired man to room on the second
| floor of the house. The man left his
shoes down stairs. A minute or
two after the man was assigned to
his room Mr.. Johnson and family
retired for the night and slept
soundly with the exception of one
of the girls, who claims that she
was awakened by footsteps up and
doHn the stairs during the night.
When Johnson arose early the
next, morning he went mp stairs to
call his hired man. He was sur
prised to find him gone. He be-
came suspicious at once and hurried
over to a dog skin coat where he
had pocket book containing $95.
The pocket book and money were
gone, and Mr.. Johnson at once re-
ported the matter to Sheriff Pease
and to the authorities in Belview
and Delhi.
Mr.. Johnson did not get the man S
second name when he hired him, or
during the trip from Belview to his
farm. And it was so dark when he
engaged him that he was unable to
see just how the man looked, and as
no light was struck at the farm
house he is unable to give the police
any idea of what the robber looks
like, and it is altogether probable
that Mr.. Johnson is out $95 without
the law or him having any revenge.
The only clue the police have to fol-
low is to watch out for a hobo who
may have more money than he isen-
titled to, and then it would be diff
cult to get conviction for the rea-
son that Mr.. Johnson might not be
able to identify the man.

not themselves be able to go safely
through the trying ordeal, and secondly
comes the fear that the darling little

But there is no real need of apprehen-

was concluded then and there that
if Redwood Falls, or this particular
section, was ever to get a north and
south road, it would have to be
through the Beaver Greek valley,
as that was the only feasible route
for q line to get up the northern
bluff Of the Minnesota river. The
grade does not have to be over
eight inches to every 100 feet.
Three lines af survey have been
run through Beaver Falls village
for the purpose of ascertaining the

is believed that ultimately the depot
will be located on the site where the

SWALMTS LETTER.
Interesting Communication From
Montevideo.

The following letter written to Hon.
Sam Clark, OF the Keokuk Gate City,
will be of interestto his friends here:
"Unquestionably yuy dear Sam Clarke
and Gate City, the cap sheaf of Ameri-
can diplomacy, in dealing with South
American matters, Was the policy of re-
ciprocity Inaugurated by that greatest of
Americans, James G. Blaine, so rich in
promise. so sound in business sense, and
so necessary to the business interests of
our greatly developing country, in all
ways And the repea. of the laws formu-
lating the same, and denouncing the
treaties made, was the most calamitous
act for business interests in South
America that party of mendacity or as
SHINE stupidity could possibly suggest or
ccomplish-provided we wanted to rain
permanent foothold for the stuffs from
our American workshops of all kinds.
No act ever pleased the foreign manu-
facturers more than our repeal of the
reciprocity acts, and they made great
speed to benefit thereby themselves in
permanent way, by practically adopting
the Blaine idea in treaties formulated
since, modified and made more recipro-
e
the great European commercial nations.
And they do 90 per cent of the business,
while our Uncle Sam does scant 10 per
cent. but pays much in excess over the
counter in gold for the stuff that he gets
from South American lands. Whittier
makes his Maud Muller sing regretful
it might have BEEN" and it seems that
we may as we'll pucker our lips and do
the same in commercial way, so far as
gaining great or dominant foothold
in these countries, on mutual trade lines.
We went out of oui garden OF Eden
when we dumped the Blaine idea into
the limbo of the rejected-and lost the
garden, except a small weedy stretch
that "costs more than it comes to-" Now
that is the way it looks to me here, alter
a two years study of the trade question
as affecting us as nation in personal
touch with it at this distant point.
Touching our relations commercially
may we'll be considered several other
matters. There are some twenty differ
ent steamship lines doing business with
South American ports from Europe,
under English, French, German, Italian,
Spanish and Belgian fags-and not one
of them from the United States-not
onel Two or three English lines do
business from New York to the River
Platte ports, but the English manage
ment resides in London or Liverpool,
and it makes rates which are not calcu-
lated to help in any amazing wav Ameri-
can trade And besides, having mo-
noply they can twiddle their thumbs and
fingers at the nose at all complaining
parties. You can take what they offer
or leave it-as YOU please. Meanwhile
the European manufacturer is looked
upon as a benefactor to his country, he
gets lower freight. gets speedier ships,
and in all ways is given treatment that
affords the prospect of success, by sub
sidy to the vessels carrying mail, or eXr
port premiums on the goods sent out OF
the country. Our own great country
does nothing of the sort, and save only
in necessities that alone produces, or
specialties in which it leads the world,
like certain classes of farm implements,
