GOLD TRom BLACK SAND.

the New York Sun. and believe hive
hit upon plan to get 1t out You know
this black sand 10 about as heavy as the
gold. and In panning, as ordinarily done
with cold water, the gold and the sand
either 80 out OF the pan together and are
lost or they stay In the bottom and are
OF no more use than II they were lost.
on claim had In the Yukon country we
only got S82 out of the black sand for a
whole season, and knew that We were
losing a whole lot and that there ought
to be some way OF getting at It, 30
experimental with hot water, which was
not unusual, but added some salt to 1t
and found an Improvement. Itook an iron
bucket holding two gallons, filed It about
one-third full of sand, put In double
handful Of salt, filled It with water, and set
II on the IRE to boil. As It boiled stirred
1t like you would stir apple butter. or as
we Stir dog feed in the Kiondike. and
then poured It on into the pans. I don't
know what effect the salt had. but when
put a little quicksilver into the pans I'll
be blamed II didn't get every particle Of
gold there was
Then went at It on larger scale, and
with the sand that was before practically
vaiueless got hfty-two ounces Tor one
days work by three men. This gold was
worth about $3.50. or. say, $16 an ounce.
I'm going to Cape Nome In the spring,
where there are tons and tons OF this black
sand and I'm going to utilize the salt sea
water and get rich. You see II 1 don't,

only been scrapngs along the surface by
individuals with poor appliances, but when
the rich companies that are organizing get
to work with big hydraulic machines and
the right kind Of mining tools the gold
will fairly run out in streams Dirt that

the Philippine archipelago are OPP
posed to the policy of this government
as to our control? Now, don't yell,
Rats" but scratch your head and
seek for TRUTHS,
We know that there are enough OPP
posed to that policy to cause the
Americans to mobilize three times as
many troops as were used at any time
to whip the Mexicans, costing half
million OF treasure every day; that to-
day there is no American authority in
the islands except where guarded by
American bayonets: that some islands
are inhabited by mohammedans whom
it will cost bloody battles to subju-
gate before their ancient polygamous
and slavish customs are abrogated;
that millions OF savage negritos are
found whom Mr.. Argus writer must
figure in to make majority for Amer
lean rule; to sum up-that a majority
of the civilized natives are fighting for
their independence.
st is such statements as these by
the Tribune that cause men of thought
in the democratic and populist parties
to speak in such indignant way of the
bossism of the Tribune.'
Point out please: Mr.. Argus writer,
one instance, except in your case,
where a ''man of thought" in the dem
ocratic or populist parties has spoken
out in an indignant manner of "the
bossism of the TRIBUNE" Come now,
just one instance or else stand con-
victed OF deception.
Don't hide the light under the cry
of 'Imperialism" or "Militarism"
but seek We first the truth and let the
comment come after.'
When conquest is made of foreign
lands involving the addition OF forms
of government foreign to the spirit of
republican institutions, surely we
haye Imperialism upon us. And If the
10000 of soldiers and millions of treas
ure necessary to secure the ''gateway
to the effete East' is not militarism,
then we confess that we do not know
what that word means. There is GER
tainly danger that the soldiers and
treasure that will be needed to pass
through that ''gate-way' when the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Chinese empire
begins and the imperial wolves of the
earth will growl ad snarl over
the division of the booty, will make
this term, which the Argus writer
throws aside so thoughtlessly, word
of dread to every American mother as
she looks at her baby boy.
"For the last several months the
editor Of this paper has been gather
ing data from the most authentic re-
sources concerning the condition and
desire of the people Of the islands
and will in future articles give our
readers the facts as they are irrespec-
tive of how the republican or demo-
cratic parties would have them be-"
What pity the Argus editor did
not write this article and use some of
hie facts therein.

RAYMOND, Oct. 90, 80.
Editor Republican Gazette:-
The great, perhaps the greatest
howl, of needed reforms that was
set up last fall by the fusion forces
was to reform the grain inspection
and the prison Irvine departments.
The alleged corruption of Republic
can officials in charge of these de-
partments was the most favOrite
theme of fusion campaign orators
The severe undergrading of wheat at
the beginning of the crop season Of
1898 together with exorbitant Irvine
prices that farmers had to pay. made
these subjects Of particular interest
in agricultural localities, and there
is no doubt that thousands of hither-
to loyal Republicans left their party
and voted for Mr.. Lind because they
believed the allega tions made against
these two important public depart
ments. Gov. Lind largely owes his
election to a general dissatisfac ton
on the part of the farmers with these
two departments. Thousands Of
good, straight Republicans became
convinced that a general cleaning
out in these departments of public
service were imperatively necessary
And they further believed that with
Mr.. Lind in the governors chair
there was u better prospect for a
change. Candidate Lind and his fol-
lowers made the most vicious at
tacks on the management of these
institutions; attacks that shOrn OF
all denunciatOry phraseOlOgy simply
meant corruption. The chiefs of the
departments, according to their
detinit ton of the case, were nothing
but a lot>of Republican pap suck ers,
thoroughly dishonest, and thorough
ly incompetent. The people were led
to believe that with Lind at the helm
there would be an immediate redress
OF their wrongs by the ousting Of
these officials. Well Lind was elected
and on January 3rd, 1899, became
governor. On that day he delivered
his message to thelegislature in joint
session. The people held their breath
when the governor started in to sug-
gest needed reforms. He had led
them to believe that some radical
Legislative departures were necessary
and that they would be particularly
mentioned by his excellency. The
farmers who had tlocked to the sup
port OF Mr., Lind were ON the qui vive
as to what recommendations the
governor would make.
During the campaign Mr.. Lind and
his co-shouters knew all about the
corruption of the grain and Irvine
departments and they didn't hesitate
to rub it into Clausen and Wolfer.
Thew also knew. just what reme-
dies were required and they didn't
hesitate to promise them. They
knew all about it! They were will
