oliver Explorations

The Oliver mining company
is testing every foot of ground
that they can get options on
along the contact Of the diorite
and states between this city and
Amasa. And they are doing it
in systematic manner. When
ever the water troubles they
locate q boiler and pump on the
edge Of the pit and pound along
until the character OF the ledge
is determined The first of these
explorations IS beside the Amasa
road just rs you emerge from
the green woods going to Amasa.
Here pit is being put down
with the assistance Of q boiler
and pump. The miners are yet
in the drift that covers the ledge
TO great depth at this point,
A couple of test pits may be
seen between this one aud the
St. Paul tracks but nothing is
being done in this territory at
the present moment. Across
the St. Paul tracks and about
2000 feet south Of the Gibson
shaft a pit is being put down, a
boiler and pump also being used.
They were getting down on the
ledge when we were at the pit
last Monday and indications
were very favorable for finding
the ore. The surface is about
fifty feet deep. North of the
Gibson some pits are being sunk
but the principal exploratory
work in the territory between
the Michigan and the Gibson
will be done with q diamond
drill which Mr.. Gibson moved
from the Mans field -Sagola ex-

THEN AND NOW.

-Four years ago. in the Coliseum at Chi
cago, William J. Bryan shouted to a vast
and approving audience:
IF they ask US why we do not en1hody
in our platform all the things that. we
believe in, reply hat when we have re-
stored the money of the constitution all
other Necessary reforms vii! be possible:
but until this is lone there is no other
reform that can be accomplished"
Compare that language with Bryan's
guarded references to. the white metal
now. hin of it in the light of his
declaration that imperialism is now
the paramount issue. Commit it to
memory SO thai it may be quoted when
ever~any man claims that Bryan is an
honest, consistent, steadfast friend Of
silver, with whom principle is everything
and expediency nothing. What demo-
cratic organ in Montana did not agree
with Bryan when he declared there was
no issue other than silver, and that all
others must await it's proper settlement?
What democratic organ can now de-
Gently agree with him when he relegates
silver to the background and insists that
the question of hauling down the flag
on American territory is paramount to
all others?

order that he may acquire Office and ex-
pertinent with government-when such
a man is once detected in his
charlatanry he is never again
accorded public confidence, but is
branded for what he is and what events
have proved him to be. Four years ago
Bryan, speaking in the interest of him-
self, democracy, free trade and other
public calamities, told every audience he
addressed that the power of the dollar
was increasing, that money was becom-
ing scarcer, interest higher, mortgages
more numerous; that business was par
alyzed and would not revive; h be-
cause Of the tariff, men would continue
to be idle; that factories would remain
closed, and that black despair would
hover over the land unless he We're elect

what has happened? Why, the country

HONOR TO THE DEAD,

The employees of the great Southern
Pacific railroad, to whom Coils P. Hunt
ington had always been a friend, did
honor to his memor in a unique way on
the day of his funeral. The incident is
thus described in the London Spectators:
The Americans have succeeded in doing
what we should nave thought impossible
they have spread the impression of a
funeral service at one and the same in
Invisible point of time throughout a con-
tinent. Mr.. Huntington, the great builder
and manager of American southwestern
railways, died, and, as he was very pop
ular throughout his lines, those who had
been in his employ wished to pay to his
memory some special and striking honor.
With the h~alf-poetic, half-practical feel
ing which often distinguishes American
acts, they arranged that at the moment
when in New York the body Of their late
chief was carried from the church to the
grave the trains upon the many systems
of lines which he had controlled should
as by common and self-derived impulse
arrest their movement. AS the coffin vas
lifted, through thousands of miles of line
covering the Whole distance from the Al
lantic to the Pacific, every train stopped.
( The communication of a continent was
arrested as by some supernatural COM
mand. Not a wheel turned until the body
had been lowered, when, as if released
by some impulse common to all, COM
munication and ordinary life were re-
suned. That was a really fine idea finely
carried out. The dead mar had created
the lines, had, as it were, given them
breath, and when life stopped with him,
as in sympathy, 1t momentarily did with
them.

That is all very beautiful. but in view

would be a satisfying sop to the people
who demanded it. The point was carried
by the vote of the Hawaiian delegate. so
neither the east nor west was to blame
for the outcome and there should be no
sectional strife In the democracy. But
the fact remains that if silver is an issue
the democrats of the east are making
every effort to obscure it. and IL 1t Is not
an issue the democrats of the west are
injuring the chances of their candidate
by the insistent free coinage clamor.
1t is to be presumed that Mr.. Mckinley
knows of his division of sentiment in
the ranks of the Bryanites. 1t We're hu-
man that he should TAX advantage of
the veal spots in the political armor of
the opposition. If the democracy does
not know where cit is at on the financial
question it is eminently fitting that the
candidates should be smoked OUT into
an affirmation or denial of the sincerity
of his platform declaration. The repub-
lican party, on this issue. was victorious
four years ago. 1t believes that its
theory of finance was right and that the
resultant era Of prosperity n financial
stability in the nation is proof thereof.
IL Is WllllS u 80 DelOTc the peuPlc dSdAA
on that issue if it be an issue.
Mr.. Bryan in his speech of acceptance
at Indianapolis, was silent on the sub
ject of silver. Therefore Mr.. Mckinley
is compelled to take the documentary
evidence of three party platforms that
silver is an issue. The democratic plat
form in it's relation to silver has been ex-
planned. The Sioux Falls platform is for
silver and Lincoln greenbacks n a few
bewhiskered populist principles, which
the democrats must needs shut their eyes
to swallow. The alleged silver republic
can platform was a cheap edition of the
democratic document intended for circu-
lation in communities where democratic
enmity to free coinage might prove fatal
to organs chances.
1t is safe to say that the democratic
papers in the east will enter a prompt
disclaimer of Mr.. McKinley's idea of the
''immediateness" of the silver issue and
tina the chief result of the presidents as
sertion will be. to bring the democratic
insincrity out into the open and leave the
way clear for a we'll defined contest be-
tween the parties upon the issue of ter
ritorial expansion.
