FREE GOLD IN QUANTITIES
Again Thunder Mountain Riches are
EXtollod.

J. F. Taylor of Whitebird, and
Harry Way of Grangeville, have
just returned from the Sheepeater
and Thunder mountain country.
where they have been prospecting
since the early summev. In q con-
versation with Mr.. Taylor today,
the PnEss learned that both part
nels together with b. Chamberlain
have located three properties, two
OF which are ON Monumental
creek and the other in the Thun-
der mountain country. Both Mr..
Wray and Mr.. Taylor had some
magnificent specimens of quartz,
heavily studded with gold and
which must carry enormous values.
Mr.. Taylor said: "We have strip
ped the ledge across it for 12 feet
on the one property and for 10
feet on the other. The two prop
critics on Monumental creek lie par
allel to each other and are on two
distinct veins, which can be traced
entirely through both prospects,
running 6astsvansa 4xe-t.1 We ake
directly n6xtA tgS--E~tproperties
owned by Dan Fitzgerald and 81.
K. Grostein. The lodges as you
readily perceive carry enormous
values and both are free milling.
We have done no more than our
assessment work so far, but will in
the near future start in to devel-
ope both properties in manner
justifying their showing. Both
have splendid tunnel sites. We
have also a very fine property in
the Thunder mountain country
which is also free gold PROPOSE
tion. The Monumental creek
properties are the Gold Reef and
the Gold Standard"
This interview with Messrs.
Taylor and Wray confirms II. r.
Grostein in his statements, for the
samples exhibited to us are identi-
cal with those shown by Mr.. Gros-
bcin, and he stated in the Press
some time since in his interview
that both of these rich lodges con-
tinued for a great distance and
that the property had been located
by some one whose name he could
not recollect.

Tor money with New York apparently
attracted money from the interior. There
was consequently general and rather
sharp recovery on Tuesday, but on
Wednesday an irregular continuance of
this movement was checked by a break
OF some thirteen points in the price OF
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and by the en-
gagement of $50OO00 more gold for ex-
port. the market altogether neglected
such an important development as the
increase OF the New York Central diyi-
oend' putting the stock on a per cent

On Thursday, in spite of the compare

elements which on that day assumed
prominence We're the alleged danger OF
further severe liquidation In London and
the preparations which the exchange
market here plainly indicated for heavy
gold shipments today Nor did the street
rail to remark the strength of the con-
tinental money markets or the advance
in the official rates of the banks of Ger

count We're up to 6B per cent and all the
indications We're that the strain which

not dangerous character, which could

THE MACHINE IN POIITICs

1t Is doubtful whether at any previous
period in our political history the con-
duct Of political affairs has been so COM
pletely reduced to the machine level as
it is today. Republican success every
where is the product of machine politics
and is being maintained by the same
agency.
Few men, even among Republicans, will
hesitate in admitting that our national
administration is controlled at every
point by the demands Of the Republican
machine, If they feel at liberty to express
their real views. Men like Hanna, Platt
and Quay are the power behind the presi-
Dental throne. Things are ordered ac-
cording as they regard the exigencies of
machine rule in their several states The
machine which operates 50 successfully
in st. Paul and Ramsey county politics
is modelled strictly on the plans which
prevail in machine construction and adj
ministration at Washington, in New York
state and until recently in Minnesota.
President Mckinley, under the inspiring
operation of the machine, has become
one of the most adroIt politicians of the
time. His public documents, declarations
and acts have all now come to possess
the plain earmarks of the machine. He
is acting under advice in all things, and
his hopes and aspirations are guided and
controlled by machine influence. The re-
cent action of the Republican national
committee in putting an end to the con-
templated raid on Southern representa-
ton afforded an excellent illustration of
the efficacy Of machine rule. The recent
declaration of Mr.. Hanna, when con-
fronted by an aspiring New York Repub-
lican politician who was intent on urging
his claims on the party for It's nomina-
ton for vice president, which was in ef-
feet that the machine had already prac-
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-12-23

tically decided on Secretary Root for the
job, and that no man who did not have
the support of the New York organiza-
ton behind him would be considered. Of
fers another very clear revelation. The
entire course OF the national administra-
ton In its recent raid on civil service is
merely a part of the machine policy
which subordinates all considerations of
public policy to the requirements of ma
chine rule.
The Quay machine In Pennsylvania
showed It's efficacy in a very convincing
way last fall although 1t was forced to
put stop to Its operations in forcing
a somewhat disreputable lawyer on the
state bench. 1t is likely too, to meet
another check in the senate on the admis-
sion to that body of it's chief representa-
tive. The Plat machine in New York
Is really the most extensive and relent-
less of all the political machines of today.
1t is Eerltahle juggernaut. Plat no
longer makes concealment that he is the
state government of New York. He it
was VINO framed ana afterwards With
drew the notorious state constabulary
bill. He owns the state legislature alb
solutely through It's majority. He is liza
BILE at any time to enforce his lien on the
strenuous young man whom he made
governor. He has now a crooked politi-
clan In hand whom he proposes to have
appointed commissioner of insurance.
The refusal of Roosevelt to appoint him
is almost certain to be followed by a war
which will not end until either Roosevelt
or Plat goes under. 1t is not difficult to
surmise the result of such conflict; but
like the traditional coon, it is already GER
tain that, in the event of such crisis
the rough rider will proceed to climb
down with great agility.
The delegation of the powers Of gov
eminent to great men of the stamp of
Hanna, Plat and Quay is truly a glorious
feature Of the prevailing Republican
rula

Priests of the Diocese.
A letter will be read in all the churches
Of the archdiocese Sunday from Arch
bishop Ireland, regarding the pope's re-
cent communication as to the celebration
Of the closing century. The holy father
recommends that midnight masses be
celebrated. On this point Archbishop Ire
land says:
t'The priests and the faithful laity Of
the diocese of st. Paul will, we are sure,
be eager to comply within the limitations
of local circumstances, with the recon-
mendations made in this letter. The cold
Wintry weather of our Northern cline
will advise very generally against the
celebration of mass at the hour Of mid
night. In some particular cases, how
ever, pastors may have reasons to believe
that no serious peril can arise from the
attendance Of the people to their churches
at that time of the night; and, in such
eases, they will be free to abide by their
own discreet judgment. Where mass is
not said at midnight. the sacred services
on the subsequent, morning will be in
vested with that special solemnity which
may make compensation for the omission
of the midnight celebration"
