for the development OF our mineral re-
sources than has been brought into the
state IN any three or four yearS that
have gone before. The developments
In the seven Devils. at Buffalo Hump,
on the Salmon river. IN Boise basin, on
the Boise river and at other points are
such that there should be great atten-
tioB attracted TO them this season.
At Buffalo Hump there are now many
sales being made at good figures. The
properties changing hands are mere
prospects, but they are being taken hold
Of BY experienced men who fully under
stand their business and It may be as
sumed that the claims justify the invest
ment. On the Salmon river there 10

old camps In that region are IN condi-
ton 10 arouse renewed interest. The
Seven Devils win surely make show
ing during the season that viii establish
that district AZ one Of the richest copper
and gold regions in the west. In Boise
basin the developments are such that
there should be revival recalling the
early days Of that section. On the Boise
river the placer operations win astonish
miners wherever the results are pub.

those high bars, there are old channels
that carry many dollars to the cubic
yard and that the deposits are Of great
extent.

occasions. The facts must be spread
before the world, and there must be
none TO detract from the merits Of Their

it that we have something here that il
more worth looking into than can b.

Good reports are being brought to
town from the Rich Hill mine at Mica
bay, and there are many who say the
mine has passed the experimental stage

critics that will soon become good pro-

development work on this property has
been steadily pushed, and the tunnel is

indication that it is Of great extent.
The size Of the ore body increases as the

Petty Criticisms Of the Preacher.

No atmosphere is so injurious tic
the nearer, and none so trying to the
preacher, as petty criticisms and ma.
licious Interpretation. People ought
to hear in large and generous spirit,
remembering that the preacher is a
man Of like frailties with themselves,
md remembering that no man ought
to be Judged except on the length and
breadth Of his teaching. 1t is posi-
BILE that one day he may be dull-it is
a matter Of the weather; it is possible
another day that he may not be
sweet-tempered-it is a matter Of d.
gestion; the hearers ought to make
great great allowances for one who
has to work with the double lnstru-
ment Of a tickle mind and an imper-
feet body, Hearers should remember
that no man ever can be equal except
he travel on the plane Of dreary COM

Mr. Monnett said that the Oh trust
had secured the services of railroad
agents all over the country to report
upon the movements of their rivals.
When rivals were driven out of the
field by reducing rates, the prices i'm
mediately went up.
Mr.. Monnett said he understood that
the Standard company controlled tom
80 to 81 per cent. of the crude oil prod
pct, but as the company con..olled the
means Of Transportation it was not
necessary that it should take the oil
out Of the rock, The company was
thus independent Of wei owners. He
did not agree with the statement that
the Standard company was entitled to
credit for the reduction of the price of
oil, believing this reduction to be due
entirely to other agencies. Referring
to the necessity of controlling the trans
portation agencies, as the available
remedy for the evils of which he com
planned, Mr.. Monnctt said that no
course would be too severe, If nothing
else would produce the desired result.

THEY TALK AGAINST FUSION.


Kansas City, NO., May 17.-If the
populist editors of the country who
are here attending the session of the
National Reform Press association are
able to mold the opinion of that
party it will never again fuse with
republicans, democrats or any other
political organization for the purpose
OF gaining control of the national gov
eminent lgnatius Donnelly, once the
populist candidate for president,
talked on national affairs to so popu-
list editors from all over the country
who are assembled in convention in
Lyceum hall. He was not eloquent
in his speech, but in forcible and
direct language he advised the popu-
lists against fusion and incidentally
excoriated William j. Bryan and the
democratic party for treachery. The
burden of his speech was for the popu-
lists to keep to the middle of the road
and thus acquire success over 'totter-
ing and corrupt democracy" Mr..
Donnelly's remarks were heartily APP
plauded and it was plain that his audi
tors were in sympathy with him.
The association elected officers yes
terday: Frank Burkitt, 0kolona. Miss,
was reelected president; PahlJ. Dixon,
Chillicothe, Mo-, vice president; 10
A. Parker, Louisville, KY, secretary
and treasurer, and W. ]. Henning, Au-
gusta, Ca, corresponding secretary.
Abe Steinberger, Girard, KAN; M.
A. Bodenheimer, Dalton, Ga; Whar-
ton Barker, Philadelphia, and
N. H. Motsinger, Shoals, Ind,
were made MEMBERS of the ex-
ecutive committee. The committee
appointed to draft an address to the
people held an all-niglt session. II
will be in four sections; it will not de-
clare for any candidates, but will rec
ommend that a national convention be
held in 1900; that the convention be
held before either Of the two old party

readers bolt any democratic or repub-
