ISSUES SLIP PIPING AVA 4 !.

IF we may judge at all from the
manner in which Democratic issues
are slipping away from them, we
may reasonably come to the con-
clusion that before election day
there will be nothing left upon
which Democrats can stand. In
the beginning of the campaign it
was sought to make considerable Of
an issue out of the Porto Rican law,
but that has slipped away Then.
came the Sulu treaty; that has gone
glimmering, TOO. Then there was
an attempt made to create an issue
out Of the determination of the
present Administration to repudiate
the national promises to the Cubans,
and hold their island i'll spite Of
them. Events which have trans
pred in the last few weeks have
smashed that issue. Militarism at
one time was considerably talked of
but that has been made ridiculous
by simple statements of fact. And
now, 10 and behold! Imperialism it.
self is beginning to wane. People
have become so thoroughly posted
on this question that they listen to
the TRADES Of the Democrats with
i1l-concealed disgust. And so il
goes, one issue after another has
passed almost beyond redemption;
The question that troubles Republi
cans now, is what they are going tc
fight. Indeed, there is nothing Elk
cept Bryan and he is kept so busy
patching up little difficulties in his
own State that it seems almost pitt
full to bother about him. The las
act of this diminishing Statesman
was to interest himself III the clos
ing ola little starch factory in
town of his native State, Thi
little concern, employing not NOR
than three hundred men, gave hin
an opportunity for one of his gran

result of it is that he has reused

and it is liable to keep him bus,

GOT THE BEST of THE WATER.

Frank G. Young, president and gen.

ing and Milling company, informs THE
OBSERVER that in the pump shaft on the
Gunnell mine the Cornish pump now
has the best of the inflow of water, and
that by the second week in July miners
will again be at work in the 100 foot
west level breaking stamp mill ore.
When the seepage water from the sur
face drove the miners cut of that level
everything was in readiness to sink both
the pump and Grand Army shafts upon
the Guunell vein. The work of sinking
in these shafts will soon be going for
ward as rapidly as it can he done. The
inflow of water retarded development
work on the company's property fully

bricked-in boilers and pumps are a por-
tion of the realty is a question which
will bring out lots Of law, for the books
deal very copiously with this question.
In most of the leases drawn up in the
camp it is especially provided that when
a lease terminates the lessee shall have a
right to remove the machinery, but usu-
ally whatever buildings may be erected
must stand. Courts of last resort have
yet to pronounce on the validity of the
Searl placer location, and this step taken
by the claimants to the lode location
adds another tangled thread to the al
most interminable litigation which has
now been in progress for twenty years.
Whether supersedas has the effect of
an injunction in preventing the removal
of property is another point. The whole
question will be whether or not boilers
and other fixed machinery can be con-
strued as part of the reulty.
MILWAUKEE MINING CONVENTION.
The mining convention which is being
held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this week
is being attended, it is claimed by 5000
mining men. California and Colorado
will each have splendid exhibits of the
splendid gold and silver ores. The ex-
hibit from this state will surpass any
former one sent out of the state. An
effort will be made to have the next con
vention held in Colorado Springs, Ell Paso
county. THE OBSERVER trusts that that
city will be selected.
TRUST WILL SOON CONTROL ALL ORE
Friday evenings Denver Post states
that current rumors to the effect that
the smelter trust will soon absorb the
immense properties of the Guggenheims
lends excuse for the belief that the time
is near when such consolidation will
be effected, giving control of practically
all the smelling business of the United
States to one corporation and taking out
of the competitive field the last institu-
ton upon which miners have been de-
pending when they cared to protest
against the rules which the American
Smelling and refining company laid
down. The Guggenheims have offered
their properties to the trust for the sum
of S37 100000. These figures were con-
sidered too high, but led to negotiations
from which it is expected deal will
ultimately be consummated, probably on
the basis OF an increase in the trusts
capital stock from S65,0OO,OO0 to $780,
100000, out of which the Guggenheims
would be paid. This would afford the
trust absolute control of all branches of
the industry in the United States, South
America, Mexico and British Columbia.
In response to queries the local repre-
sentatives of the trust and the Gu2gen-
helms say they are in possession of no
more information on the subject than is
the general public. Edgar L. Newhouse,
manager for the Guggenheims, stated
Friday morning that there were street
rumors pointing to consolidation, but
nobody in Denver had received informa-
ton that might sustain them. 1t is un.
derstood, however, that the deal is being
put through in the east, where the trust
was formed almost two years ago.

PIERCE'S PLACER AND MILL MA
CHINE

Ores and Metals for June, 1900, has
this to say of the above e-named machine
which was operated here and in Boulder
county last summer: AFTER long
series of tests Mr. L. S. Pierce has per-
fected machine that can be run at a
profit on the tailings from the ordinary
sluice boxes and stamp mills, saving flour
gold that cannot be recovered by the
usual methods employed.
"One of the most important features is
the fact that it disposes of the black
sand which, in the case OF the ordinary
block rifles, accumulates upon quick
silver by reason Of its weight, and, form
ing q solid bank, permits all but the
coarse gold to escape the quicksilver and
go off with the tailings.
"The machine consists of a section OF
an ordinary fume or box, provided with
grizzly in the bottom which permits
the gold and sand to pass through to a
bottom discharge box, while the boul-
ders are carried off in the ordinary man.
ner.
"The principle of the machine is that
the water passing over the lower rifles
and under tho upper rifles, forms a
rotary current that keeps the black sand
in constant motion and prevents it
from settling in any place, while the
finer particles OF gold are swept against
the plates or rifles on the quicksilver in
SO many places that it is almost imposs-
BILE for any to escape.
"Mr. Pierce has just sold and delivered
to the Virginia Mining and Trading com.
pany OF Honduras large four-foot ma
chine with capacity OF 1000 yards per
day for their placer, and has an order to
supply his rifles to take the place OF
plates in a large mill at Livingston, Mon.
tapa.
"These rifles have been thoroughly
tested under plates and concentrators,
and in no test made have they failed To
save gold in paying quantities. up to as
high as one seventh or one eighth Of
much as was caught on the plates after
the gold had passed over the plates"

Rumors afioat in Chicago breathed
from private correspondence, intimate
that Mrs. Peck. the wife of Commiss oner
General Ferdinand W. Peck, wishes to
become the social rival of Mrs Potter
Palmer. Mrs. Peck is elegantly domi-
clled at the Elysee Palace hotel which
overlooks the Champs Elysees, and is not
far from the exposition grounds. Mrs
Potter Palmer has taken up her abode at
the Hotel Bristol. in the Place Vendome,

They look upon his constant ebulitions
of crude speech and temper with as much
amusement as If he were a wild man.
They will never forget what a furious
dignity he tried to assert one evening at
the opera when, by courtesy of President
Loubet he and his party occupied the
stage loge. A uniformed official entered
to call his attention to the fact that there

French, chose to think himself insulted.
and proceeded TO make such a scene that

leave the opera house. And he and his
party filed out. amid general uproar
A lady, whom he took out at a dinner
given by Ambassador Porter, was much
amused by the excited manner in which
he spoke of the extreme slowness of pro-
cedure of every one and everything in
