WHY BRYAN IS STRONG.

What is it that gives Mr.. Bryan
such hold on the democracy of
America as no man has had since
the days of jackson? 1t Is his
principles and his earnestness.
There is no hero worship about
it. They favor the principles he
advocates and have absolute conf
dence in his honesty and courage.
He is an idol, not a hero. People
love him because they believe he
sympathizes with them.
hear some good man say, why
could not Bryan consent to modify
some features of the Chicago plat
form 30 that we could all unite and
then We could win?
My friend, You have simply read
the newspapers and have not stud
led the conditions. You have not
heard the earnest heartbeats of
our people.
The moment Mr.. Bryan con-
sents to modify the Chicago plat
form in any particular, that
moment he is destroyed.
lie would at once sink to the
level Of the ordinary politician,
who was trimming his sails to
catch votes.
He would at once cease to be the
idol Of the democratic heart. Now
you respect him for his sincerity
then you would despise him for his
weakness.
Look around. you can count hum
drcds of.able, learned and eloquent
men who hold high place in the
democratic councils and are today
wayside wrecks hidden in dust be-
cause in the supreme hour of trial
they wavered.
Now, il you are weary OF the
Mckinley cant and. hypocrisy--if
you belive in the declaration of
independence-if you wish to
transmit the blessings Of free inst,-
tutions to your children-then
take hold and help to save this re-
public take hold and help to over
throw this reign OF debauchery,
destruction and death.-John =.

Though censured. misrepresented

clared when we declared war; il

Teroda Greek MINES Again Attracting &
Attention.

Teroda Greek MINES Again Attracting
Attention.
Republic, Wash, July 9.--Toroda
creek mines are again attracting atten-
tion. Seven companies are working
and some Of them expect to cut their
lodges within a few days. Some Of
the ledges have shown large values on
the surface. and it was this that turned
the attention of mining men in that
direction. Among the mines that had
fine surface showings and carried ex-
ceptionally high values WAS the Ok
ford. As high as 255 ounces of silver
and Sl5 in gold per ton were obtained
from the ore near the surface. The
owners decided to run tunnel and
now have 1t in 65 feet. A few days
since g stringer IL inches in width was
cut In the tunnel, which is believed 10
be an off-shoot from the lodges. The
ore carries about 200 ounces Of silver
per ton and from $40 to $l2 in gold.
The tunnel will have to be extended
about 40 feet to cut the ledge. There
is also parallel ledge that can be cut
by the tunnel by extending it another
100 feet. The ledges vary from 2 to 8
ieet In width.

THE LOWER YUKON NEWS
American Mining Camps in That
Section Are Doing Well.

Seattle, July 4.--The Pcst-Intelli-

from Skagway;
The first news Of the season from the
remote American mining camps OF the
lower Yukon has just come out to Skag-
way.
Latest arrivals report a new strike
100 miles back Of Circle City, on three
creeks known as Faith, Hope and Char
ity, which empty into the Tanana. 4
new strike is also reported on Walkers
fork OF the Forty Mile, which was
once before staked. A stampede has
resulted. and others have rushed in and
re-staked the country.
Fine pay has been struck on NUM-
Der OF claims not heretofore considered
payers. Eureka, struck last summer,
has proved wonder 50 far, and has a
pay streak so feet wide and four feet
deep. 1t is expected Eureka will this
year yield 81. 500, 900.
The Rampart Camp.
Col. Wiggin believes the Rampant
camp is as good as the creek camp OF
Nome, and thinks many of the overflow
at Nome will push mp the river 70
Rampant and help make it a big pro-
ducer. He has the belief there Is gold
in Koyukuk, but feels that the develop
ments are scarcely enough vet to war
rant great faith in the camp. How
ever. from all sources come the report
that many are rushing into Koyukuk.
E. G. Lenont, who has just arrived
from Forty-Mile and other promising
American camps. reports the cleanup
on Jack Wade this spring has been
demonstrative OF good camp. The
creek is scarcely prospecte,l, yet No. 7
below upper discovery yielded $SO,O0o
at this years cleanup. Lenout pre-
diets great future for the creek, and
estimates the output for next season at
$2,000.000. He is going after thawing
machinery for the creek. He has a
nugget from the creek weighing six
ounces and worth $Il6. Gold Of Jack
Wade, also Of Rampant, is worth $l9
an ounce. Jack Wade gold is mostly
in nuggets.

Phoenix, B. c.. July 9.-An inn
portant ure strike has been made on the
War Eagle claim in this camp. The
strike occurred i'll the west drift Of the
100-foot level. about l75 feet from the
shaft, where raise was being driven.
The ore body dipped little to the
east and was followed III feet. when
the workmen went back and continued
work on the raise. Up to date the
men have gone through 25 feet Of clean
chalcopyrite ore and have not reached
the further wall. The width OF the
ore body, therefore, has not been deter
mined. Resident Manager Buck has
had an average test made OF the new
strike. and received satisfactory re-
turns. the ore running over $50 in cop
per and $l.60 gold.
