to depth obtained in sinking than any
mine in the camp. In the tunnel it
measured 20 feet, at the 5O.foot level
it was so feet wide, and at the l0O-foot
level it was between 80 and 100 feet in

the camp and it is hard and clean.
At the 5O-foot level there is 80 feet Of
ore that will average $l3 per ton. In

vicinity for shipping to the mills.
The Quilp will furnish the new Repub.

that they have fine property. A shaft
was sunk ut the first where the vein
was found in place and an average OF

feet from the surface and there are now
three feet of fine looking quartz that
should run even higher than in the
shaft. A drift north and south has
been started on the ledge.

Work is being steadily pushed at the
Mountain Lion mine, in Southern Ore
gon, owned by Bailey brothers, on
Missouri fiat, says the Rogue River
Courier. The lower tunnel has now
reached a length of nearly 400 feet. and
it is expected that it will tap the ledge
inside OF 10 or 50 feet farther Through.
out the whole course OF this tunnel, the
rock has been easily worked and not
SO hard but that good showing could
lie made each day.
A flow OF water almost sufficient to
run the mill is now coming from the
tunnel and it is expected that when the
vein is struck, the tunnel will yield an
ample water supply for milling pur-
poses. The ore at this mine carries
high values in gold, and the new tun.
mel will open 4 large body Of the ore.
The mine is we'll equipped with
good stamp mill and is one OF the very
best properties in that section.

AGAINST LABOR UNIONS.
The Trusts and the Republicans
Are Together Against the
WOrkingman.

The concessions offered by the hard
coal trust to it's striking miners en-
phasize the fact that the real war is
on organized labor. The coal trust is
bent upon the destruction of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America.
Mark Hanna has shown that there is
a close alliance between the coal trust
and the republican party. In the
interest of the latter the former quick
ly agreed to pay the miners trife
more money. But it tied string to
this agreement. 1t would pay the adj
vance. Yes. But it would do this
only as the price of disunion And
Hanna accepted the condition.
So the miners may get paltry ten
per cent. increase of wages through
Mark Hanna's powerful influence if
they will consent to destroy their own
organization. And when their organ
ization has been destroyed, they may
then accept any terms the coal trust
shall see fit to offer. They will then
be powerless to resist.
Organized labor may make up its
mind to this: Organized monopoly has
decreed its destruction. And the ac-
ton of Mark Hanna in accepting j.
Pierpont Morgan's condition, follow
ing President McKinley's suppression
OF unionism in Idaho with United
States troops at the behest of the
Standard Oil trust, indicates plainly
enough that organized labor has its
deadliest foe in the republican party.

RELATIVES DESERT HIM.
Members of the Mckinley Familx
Who VIII Vote for Bryan
This Year.

President Mckinley appears to have

So far the returns indicate that only
Brother Abner' remains loyal to the
political fortunes of the republican i'm
perator.
MI. Mckinley has relatives of near
and remote degree in many parts OF
the country, and these, almost without
exception. will vote this year for Mr.
Bryan, although most of them sup.
ported cousin William" in 1885,
Several weeks ago there appeared a
INST of McKinley's relatives who had
repudiated their kinsman. An addi-
tional list has been furnished by Will
liam w. Mckinley. of Kosciusko coun-
ty, Ind, who vouches for its accuracy.
The list follows:
Preston H. Mckinley, of Harper
county, Kan.
DR.. L. D. Mckinley, of Topeka, Kan.
William w. Mckinley, of Kosciusko
county, Ind.
B. H. Mckinley, Delaware county,

Thomas Mckinley Delaware county,

James Mckinley, Delaware county,
Ind.
Robert Mckinley, Delaware county,
Ind.
George Mckinley, Delaware county,

These are all relatives of President
Mckinley. William w. and B. II. are
first cousins; w. J. and Samuel are
second cousins, while the others are
third cousins of the Canton man. One
of them is postmaster in his Indiana
town, while all are prominent and
reputable citizens. They declare they
cannot vote for their relative and will
cast their ballots in November for Bry-
an and Stevenson.

USELESS PHILIPPINE WAR.
Persistent Policy o
Subjugation by Military
Conquest.

Dispatches from the Philippines ere
authentic. They are from our own
officers there, and they make known a
terrible condition OF atfaifs. Over and
over 1t has been asserted by the a6-
ministration that the war there is
ended. Now our officers are calling
for moro men, saying the present
forces are Inadequate to meet the in
surgents and compel submission. One
body of 90 United States soldiers
was compelled on Monday to fight for
their lives with 1000 entrenched and
armed Filipinos, with loss of about
one-third of their number. Gen. Mac
Arthur pays glowing tribute to their
heroic defense, 1.-The splendid response
of the men,"
But compliments do not give us back
our dead, and fine words do not heal
wounds, or restore lost health. There
were, few weeks ago, in the Philip
pines about $4,000 United States SOL
diers. There is nearly that number
there now, growing smaller by fatali-
ties numbering from 40 to 100 every
week.
If there were no political unbeliev-
ers to satisfy and no pride of the adj
ministration" to cater to, does one
think that this merciless sacrifice
would be tolerated? We made fear
full miscalculation when we undertook
the subjugation of these islands, and
they have proved an expensive burden,
and the death of thousands of young
