HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 25.-Ihe
Democratic state committee set the
pace for the Democracy in other states
today by making Col. William j.
Bryan it's choice for the presidency in
1900 This action was taken by the
committee while Col. Bryan was on his
way from New York to Harrisburg to
attend the meeting and confer with
party leaders. This is probably the
first time in the partys history that
the Pennsylvania state committee has
declared it's choice in advance of the
state convention. There was large
attendance of Democrats from all over
the state to meet Col. Bryan and hear
him discuss the issues on which the
campaign will be waged. The state
convention will meet in this city in
April and adopt platform outlined
by the Nebraska orator in speech to-
night before 1900 people in Kicker
Street Hall. The platform will en-
dorse the Chicago platform, denounce
trusts and imperialism, advocate ballot
reform and clean elections and de-
nounce machine politics. The conven-
ton will also elect candidates for
auditor general, congressman at large,
presidential electors and eight dele
gates at large for the national con-
vention.
r Col. Bryan reached here at 8 o'clock
and was escorted to the board Of trade
rooms, where the state committee was
in session, by a committee represent
ing the state and local Democratic
committees. He was introduced to
the assembly by State Chairman Rill-
ing and made a short speech which
was received with much enthusiasm.
At the close Of the meeting he held an
informal reception at the Common
wealth hotel and later he was the guest
of Mayor Fritchey at a dinner party
at which Col. Guffey, Chairman Rill-
ing and other party leaders We're
present After tonight's meeting he
attended a session of the local lodge
of Modern Woodnen, OF Which he is
an active member.
Col. Bryan will go from here to
Smyrna and Wilmington, Del, and
from there to Washington to meet the
national leaders.

Mayor Truelsen spoke last evening
at Hendric<son's hall on Garfield ave-
nue. The meeting was more encourage
ing to the mayor than the one that
was held the previous night at Nor
mama hall. At Normanna the hall
was warm and comfortable, but the
people were cold to the fusion speakers,
while at Hendrickson's hall the room
was colder than out Of doors but the
crowd at times was warmly disposed
toward the mayor. It i; suspected, how
ever. that the people at Hendrickson' S
hall clapped their hands and stamped
their feet at every opportunity IN ofder
to keep warm. The meeting came dan
gerOusly near being a fiZzle At $40
there were very few people in the hall
but the mayor dropped in about that
time and the hall gradually filled. The
crowd was of about the same size as
the one that Mr.. Hugo addressed few
evenings ago. The mayor was accom-
panied by number Of young men arm
ed with campaign matter. Circulars
showing how cheaply and effectively
the police departmenthas been conduct
ed were distributed, together with a
statement Of how cheaply an electric
light plant is ruin in an Indiana town.
There was quite jangle over who
should be chairman of the meeting.
Several persons We're asked to assume
that responsibility, but they resolutely
declined, and it was up to A. j: Beers.
This gentleman seems to be depended
on for chairman of the Truelsen meet
ings. for he has occupied the chairs on
such occasions at this hall in the past.
He performs the duties Of chairman
without making a speech, Which is per-
haps worthy Of remark for a Truelsen
meetins.
Alderman Neff and w. e. McEwen,
who have been speaking for Mayor
Truelsen at previous meetings, were
rot present. The soup that Mr.. Neff has
been serving e. the feasts of reason
that the mayor supplies, was supplied
! by T. ]. McKeon. He is a very
genial gentleman with red whiskar;s Of

REPUBLlC.

A gang of men is now working on the
Gold Ledge mine.
About a week ago work was resumed
by the new management on the Flag
Hill mine, where there are now five
men employed. The main tunnel on
the mine is in 155 feet and a cross-cut
has been started from it to intersect
the east vein. The cross-cut is in 46
feet and has about 81 feet further to
run.
Foreman Thomas of the Mountain
Lion is now having stulling put in
along the back of the drift on the 430-
foot level preparatory to sinking the
new winze and stopping. The drift has
been opened $50 feet on this level, all
in pay ore.
Mr.. Holbrook, manager of the Tom
Thumb mine states that cross-cut will
be driven ITO feet to intersect the vein
that was developed in the Nos. 1 and 2
shafts and workings. They do not ex-
pect to strike the vein they had in the
old workings with the new shaft until
it gets down to the 5OO-foot level
The new boiler at the Tom Thumb is
set, but not connected with the engine
and compressor.
At the Black Tail mine only two or
three men are employed at present, and
they are timbering the caved ground
at the end of the south drift on the
main Black Tail vein and driving the
north drift on the same. At the breast
north there are four feet of good mill
ing ore in sight. AS soon as the COM
pany is ready to operate the machine
drills the south drift will be continued,
and raise will be sent up on the break.
At the San Poll mine the south drift
on the No. 2 level is still going ahead
with three feet of quartz in the face
that runs from $14 to $54, with an
average value of $91 per ton.

MINING NOTES.

A phenomenally rich strike has just
been made in the Bald Butte mine at
the 600-foot level. The ore assays $1,000
in gold. The mine is owned by close
corporation which has paid nearly a
million in dividends.
The No. l ledge on the Blue Bird, on
Lake Pend d'Oreille, Idaho, has been
cross-cut eight feet.
The records of Shoshone county, Ida
no, show that more business was trans
acted during the month of July than
any previous month in the history of
the county. The nearest approach to 1t
was October, 1899, but even that fell
over s15O,000 short of the month just
ended

plans have been completed for increas-
ing the capacity of the mill to 100 tons
daily.

TRADE REPORTS.

New ork-Bradstreet's report for
last week is as follows:
Trade conditions still favor the buy
er. The general fall demand, though
fair in view of the midsummer condi-
ton, is still below expectations and be-
low year ago; bank clearings are at
the lowest for two years past and fall
ures are slightly more numerous,
though no marked tendencies are per-
ceptible. On the other hand, gross rail-
way earnings hold their percentage Of
gain previously shown, and where
prices are made low enough to satisfy
buyers, heavy business is uncovered
and readily booked, pointing to de-
mand being still present and awaiting
disposal.
The crop situation, as a whole, is
better; the outlook as to corn is for a
2, 100, 000, 00O-bushel crop. Spring wheat
is turning out better in quality and
quantity than expected and there has
been an unquestionable improvement in
cotton crop conditions. The yield of
apples will be the largest in many
years, and fruits generally are yielding
literally and commanding good prices.
The iron and steel industry fur
nishes the most notable example of re-
duced prices including heavy bust
ness. While the outlook is still con-
fused one, the volume of trade in fin
ished material, notably bars and plates,
ia very large.
Foundry pig iron has been in better
demand, but at concessions, and the
drift of crude prices generally is to-
ward lower level. More inquiry is
reported for rails at the west and for
iron at the south, but ship room capac-
ity obstructs business.
The cereals are all lower this week,
partly on better crop reports, partly on
lower cables, but largely on the growth
of bearish feeling after the late reac-
| ton.
| Beef products are generally higher
on army demand, while tin is seeking
lower level in sympathy with foreign
markets and increased supplies.
Wheat, including -four shipments for
the week, aggregate S,S27,003 bushels,
against 2.366,74S bushels last week, A.,
711,614 bushels in the corresponding
week of 1899, ALL, 1872 bushels in 1898
S,3OS,477 bushels in 1897 and 2.747,S $50
bushels in 1896.
From July to date this season
wheat exports are 14,56S,S69 bushels
against 1S,50S,906 bushels last season
and 14.426,122 bushels in 1s9S-99.

OREGON MINES.

The rich strikes in the Granite dis
trict during the past week have been
the means of arousing renewed en-
thusiasm in the camp. The first strike
was made in the Aldrin tunnel on Que
bee mountain. A ledge of high-class
ore was encountered in the large 4x7-
foot tunnel being driven to tap all the
lodges in Quebec mountain, and Man
ager Aldrin is very much elated. The
Aldrin Tunnel Company is composed
of Spokane capitalists and the tunnel
ing of Quebec mountain is one of the
largest enterprises in the Granite dis
trict.
The second strike reported comes
from the Concord mine on Congo creek,
adjoining the celebrated Red Boy mine.
This strike was made in the upper
workings. The ore is so rich that it
looks as if it might be half gold, and
it assays we'll up in the thousands.
Many pilgrimages have been made by
the residents of Granite and Lawton
to these two strikes within the past
three days.
1t is reported that the once famous
monumental mine, the oldest in the
Granite district, is to start up shortly
