BLOCKS OF PURE GOLD.
The iSabeIIa's Wonderful Strike
Values Almost to the Limit.

From authority deemed abso-
lutely reliable comes the state
ment that in the drift at the tenth
level from the Lee shaft of the
Isabella company, miners are work
ing behind a bulkhead in six inches
of ore literally covered with free
gold, which would easily assay
from S15o,oO0 to s200,0Oo to the
ton, and probably higher, says the
Denver Republican. The miners
are paid to change their clothes
before entering, they are locked
in, and they change their clothes
again when let out. Only trusted
employees whom Manager Kilbourn
has known for years are used in
this work.
This has been going on for sew
er,l days, and it is likely that many
sacks of this rich mineral are
ready to be hoisted. The strike
was made some weeks ago, but no
work was done in the ore until the
return of Manager Kilbourn. None
of this rich ore has yet been hoist
ed to the surface, but it will prob
ably be in few days.
The mineral in question appear
ed at first to be granite quartz.
1t is of reddish color, and upon
closer examination crystalized
quartz can be seen, and all over
and through the quartz can be seen
snail slivers of free gold. On
some pieces it would be impossi-
BILE to o.place the point of pencil
without touching solid gold. 1t
would appear that the sylvanite,
calavite and oxidizied calaverite
found above has at greater depth
changed to free gold.
The find was made about 800
feet from the shaft. In the seventh
level the core of rich ore was 40
feet in length In the famous
ninth it was found to be 75 feet in
length. Out of a stope in this
level, $50 feet long by 40 feet high
within few weeks over 100000
in -ore was taken The mineral
struck in the tenth level is equally
as rich, if not richer, than that
found above, which caused the
stock to advance so sensationally
last winter. 1t is to be expected
that the core of ore will be found
to extend for a greater distance in
the new level.
The foregoing statements are
not official. 1t has been shown
many times lately that the officers
of the company refuse absolutely
to make public anything regarding
Isabella matters. The Repub blican
has, however, obtained for the ben
eft of the investing public, and
especially those interested in Isa-
bella stock, from a source which
is reliable absolutely, this informa-
ton The source cannot be di-
vulged, but subsequent happen
ings, it is confidently believed, will
show that the news as given is
correct.
Just what effect the bonanza
strike will have at this time it is
hardly possible to estimate. The
present condition of the market
is sensitive. The great gold dis
trict never looked better than at
this time. As soon as the news
regarding the present showing of
Isabella is officially confirmed the
stock will unquestionably take an

Seventy-Fiye Companies I'm "A Year

Several representatives of trust COM
p&nies of New Jersey, which represent cor
porations chartered In that state in order TO
comply with the terms of their incorpora-
ton, were before the industrial commission
yesterday afternoon after The Stars re-
pert of the proceedings was closed Mr.
secretary of the Corporation Trust Com
pany of New Jersey, had testified earlier in
the afternoon and was followed by Frank
Hansel of Camden, secretary of the New
Jersey Guarantee Trust Company: James
Warwick, the New York representa-
tive of the New Jersey Corpora
ton Trust Company, and James s.
GarVin. assistant secretary Of the New Jer-
of these witnesses stated that the COM
panies which they represent kept their
transfer books and stock ledgers with them;
that these were balanced daily and that
the names of stockholders were always
given to inquirers, provided the identity OF
the inquirers as stockholders was estab-
liShed beyond peradVenture. All of them
resented by them, the number aggregating
about 100. with aggregate capital OF
about 81 S,D, 10000.
The last witness of the day was Dennis
B. Ryan, an attorney of Jersey City, who
testified that he was in the habit of allow
ing his name to be used as New Jersey

that he charged a fee he would If en-

structions. The army must have nothing
whatever to do with enforcing rules for
the government of miners or miners unions.
That Is a matter for the local authorities
to deal with
To this telegram Gen. Merriam replied as
follows:
Telegram dated yesterday and signed by
Secretary of War, relating to duties OF
troops in Shoshone county Idaho, received
and forwarded to Maj Smith, with in
structiOns to keep well within its limita-
tions In this connection, ii is expected that
troops be used to guard prisoners arrested
by state authorities or magazines contain
ing explosives within the region declared by
the governor as in state of Instruction
and therefore understood to be under mar
tial law? These and perhaps other precau-
tons are needful, in my opinion, to pre-
vent further violence and crime
Adjutant General Corbin replied to Gen.
Merriam, under date Of June > as follows:
In reply to your telegram of yesterday.
Secretary of War directs me to say that
while the insuTrection continues and the
governor of Idaho requires your aid YOU
will continue to assist the state authorities
20 preserve the peace and protect life and
property. You will take whatever precau-
tons are necessary to prevent further VIC
lence and crime.
Gen. Merriam comments this CORES
pOndence as follows:
The telegram of May 81. signed by Secre-
tary Alger, had given me much concern,
for it contained a plain intimatiOn that
some order or instruction intended for nay
guidance had not been received, To clear
up all doubt on this point | applied by
nail for a copy of the paper referred to IN
that telegram my original Instructions.
The desired paper not furnished. but
in the meantime the Secretary's telegram
containing the hurtful intimation was Civ
en- out at the War Department for publica-
tion. and was published very generally
throughout the country.
''Thereupon l renewed my application for
whatever had been referred to in that tele-
gram as my original Instructions. To this
request no reply has been received. l note
this incident here because of the hurtfUl
publication. My original instructions as re-
ceived are fully set forth at the beginning
of this report Telegram from a. G., dat

ANTI-INPERIAIIS LEAGUE,
Organization Effected and Policy Out
lined at ChicagO Conference.

AT the second days session of the anti
mperialist conference in Chicago yesterday
j. Sterling Morton of Nebraska presided.
The speaker of the morning was Herbert
Myrick of Sprinfeld, Mass. Following Mr..
MyricA's speech, a general discussion of the
Philippine question occupied the time until
noon. A public mass meeting was then
held. Congressman j. j. Lentz and Rev.
Herbert s Bigelow of Cincinnati delivered
speeches.
During Rev. Bigelow's speech sensation
was caused by stylishly dressed woman,
who arose in the audience, and, extending
her gloved hand toward the American flag
which hung suspended over the speaker
exclaimed: Take down the flag; don't dis
grace it any longer" She was hurried
from the hall by a friend and as she left
the building she refused to give her name
but said she was the sister of one soldier
daughter of another and wife of another
all of them now fighting in the Philippines
A declaration of principles was submitted
by the resolutions committee and unani-
mously adopted. It denounced the policy of
imperialism as hostile to liberty and uncon-
Stitutional, and tending toward miIitar-
ism. The policy of the present national ad-
ministration is condemned, and the i'm
mediate cessation of the Philippine war de-
manded Continuing, it says:
I'VE propose to contribute to the defeat
of any person or party that stands for the
forcible subjugation of any people. We
shall oppose for reelection ali who in the
lean liberty in pursuit of un-American ends
We shall hope that both our great political
parties will support and defend the decla-
ration of independence in the closing cam
paign of the century"
The declaration closes with an invitation
for the cooperation of all men and women
who remain loyal to the declaration of In
dependence and the Constitution Of the
United States"
The meeting came to a close tonight. Mr..
Bourke Cochran of New York delivering
the grafton of the evening. The hall was
filled, and the remarks of the orator were
greeted with approval by those present.
| Mr.: Cochran based his objection to the
policy Of the government on the broa d
| ground that one people had no right to
force a government upon another. He dis
| cussed the question IN a dispassionate man
| ner, claiming that there were many rea-
| sons why the United States should hold the
/ Islands, but no reason why 1t should at
| tempt to force upon any people a form of
government to which that people objected.
| The conference adjourned at the conclu-
| sion of Mr.. Cockran's address, those In
| charge of the meeting expressing them
| selves as delighted with the success Of the
| affair.

THE SCIENTISTS BLUNDER.

Mr. Edward Atkinson, among others,
has knocked down the wheat scare
crow that Sir William Crookes set
UP before the English people in his
address before the British Association.
Sir Williams prediction that in the
year 1881, the wheat supply would fail,
and the English people be confronted
with starvation, is met by few statis
tics which We're open to Sir William,
but he failed to see them or ask for
them.
Mr.. Atkinson shows that the present
wheat producing area of the United
