of whitish quartz stained with copper,

Some of the rock taken from this lead

SWAN RIVER COUNTRY.
The Soil When Washed Reveals Placer
Gold.

The Soil When Washed Reveals Placer
Gold.
Special Correspondence of the Bee
Since the discovery of the rich gold
quartz on Swan river, an investigation
has demonstrated that placer exists in
the bed of the river and in all probability
somewhere between the foot of the rap
ids and Swan lake the gravel will prove
to be very rich. Up to the present time
no one has gone down to the bedrock,
but great many prospectors will search
diligently and if there are rich diggings
or quartz lodes here they will very likely
be found.
The country is easy to prospect, hills
are low and in many places forest fires
have exposed the naked rock, which
looks to be dark slate. The soil on
the south side of the river in many
places is dark red and looks to be de,
composed matter of some kind, with
black sand all through it. This soil
when washed carefully reveals to the
naked eye small particles of fine gold.
Owing to the locality being SO easy of
access, the dirt will not have to be very
rich to enable profitable working. Hy-
draulics can be put in at very little ex-
pense, owing to the rapids on the river
furnishing such immense water-power.
The river does not rise high enough to
interfere with the work. The unlimited
supply of timber tributary to the river,

Washington, Sept. 27.-The weather

the mercurial barometer. At o'clock

bad to worse until we believe it proper
to again call public attention to a few
facts. For instance, we decide to hav,
Il Fourth of July celebration. A few
business men are expected to meet the
entire expense, even though many o
them lock up their places of business
and are not benefited one cent by the
celebration. We have county fair anC
few business men are expected to take
enough advertising in the premium lists
to meet all the printing expenses of the
fair. The business men are expected tc
contribute liberally to the support of the
various pastors of the town and then
take care of their families and attend
fifteen church dinners during the year
These are only a few of long list that
might be mentioned wherein the busi
ness men of Waterville are almost daily
tried.
When looked at in proper light it is
only legal and aristocratic way of rob
bing a man. The business man who
refuses to contribute literally to these
demands that are daily made upon him
is at once given to understand that he
will be boycottcd.
Ii the citizens who receive all these
benefits from our little circle of business
men would appreciate their generosity
and reciprocate by giving them their
exclusive trade, the evil would be of less
magnitude, but if the average citizen
can save nickel by sending an order to
some city department store, he forgcts
all these favors and the order gees. II
our business men were not required to
contribute third of their income for
the benefit of our town, no department
store could furnish you goods as cheap
as they. You rob them at every Jump
in the road and then compel them to
compete with firms that never pay a
penny for the benefit of our town.
These are cold facts that cannot be
denied. If it were possible to show in
dollars and cents the amount paid out
by business men of Waterville for char
ity and for which they receive no reward
our readers would be surprised at the
magnitude of the amount. Just cut
this out and paste it in your scrapbook
and before starting out to solicit funds
read it over twice, and before sending
your orders to metropolitan department
stores read it over four times and we
believe it will act as wholesome tonic
upon your system.-Big Bend Empire.

Has Been Notified of His Coun-
try's Attitude
TOWARD THE CHINESE
Germany Blames u. S. for Chinese ODD
racy-Says Salisbury Wants to Stand
In With Us.

Special to tho Bee.
Washington, Sept. 27.- Minister Con
ger has been advised by the state de-
partment of the substance of the replies
made by this government last Friday to
the governments of Germany, Russia and
China, respecting China which clearly
indicates to him the general character of
the instructions he is to receive. 1t is
said that the text of the instructions will
not be given publicly at present for dip
lomatic reasons, but there is no conceal
ment of the general scope Of the docu-
ment, which is on the lines laid down
in the three previous notes. 1t is be-
lieved that the state department has al
ready taken steps through Minister WI
to impress upon the Chinese govern
ment the undesirability of the appoint
ment Of Prince Tuan as grand secretary,
and the painful impression this appoint
ment has created throughout this coun-
try. The effect of Tuan's appointment,
if persisted in, it is said, might be to re-
tard seriously the final negotiations or,
in fact, any negotiations at all.
Rcrlin. Sept. 2S.-Thc German press
and foreign Office continue to deny that
Great Britain has rejected Gernany's
proposal. They also continue to blame
the United States for the recently revived
Chinese obduracy, and the renewal Of
evidence that the Chinese intend to re-
sumo hostilities on larger plan. The
Berllner Tageblatt, alone, advise Ger
many not to expect afavorable answer to
her proposition from Lord Salisbury, "as
his wisn to carefully nurse intimate rcla-
tions with the United States forms the
key note of his policy"

The passengers returning on the Ia

FIVE THOUSAND IN BUTTE.
Independent Democratic Primaries Are
Largely Attended.

Special to the Bee
Butte, Sept. 27.-With an earnestness
which means certain victory the demo
Gratis of Silver Bow county rallied this
afternoon to the primaries of the indie
pendent democratic party with a loyalty
and enthusiasm which were most graft
flying. Nearly five thousand democrats
of this county decided they would not
submit to the unjust decision of the
democratic leaders in the recent state
convention and that they will not toler-
ate the surrender of the party to the
populists in exchange for vindication.
The old line democrats turned out al
most to man. The monstrous fusion
settled it. Men who have been known
to be rather inclined to lean to the Clark
side in the Silver Bow differences, men
who have usually been lined up with the
Clark wing, turned out in large numbers
to the primaries of the independent dem
ocrats this evening.

general opinion is that the influences
referred to are of such powerful nature
that the operators cannot well stand out
against them and it is believed that the
strike will be settled. The means of
settlement, it was said, will be as fol
lows: The big companies will grant a
slight reduction in tolls, the operators
will raise the price of coal, and the wages
of the miners will be increased accord
ing to the percentage the reductions in
tolls and the increase in the selling
price will permit.
