camps in the section. In the course
of development of the property they
have crosscut the ledge distance of
% feet. but failed to run out of ore
or to find the walls. so that at this
time the extent of the ore body has
not been determined. One very rich
chute partially developed is 8 feet in
width, and in drifting in it % feet
they failed to reach the end The
material forming the wall on which
drifting is now going on is lime, al
most marble, and here is found a
body of material giving returns Of
70 per cent copper A shaft was
sunk some 26 feet all in ore, but ow-
ing to the abundance of water this
was abandoned for the time with the
intention of running tunnel beneai b
it and thus developing that ore body.
There is found in this property about
all the ores of copper, with red OK
idle, glance and bornite predominant
ing. 1t makes so excellent a pros
pect that people are prone to call ii
mine, which is well within reason
The work to be pushed from now on
will be sinking from the face of the
present drift at the lowest level. A
tunnel site has been located on the
river, and in time this will be util-
lied for the running of an 950-foot
tunnel, tapping the ore at depth of
600 feet, thus making tremendous
good property, considering the char
acter of the orc. The River Queen
is one of the prettiest properties we
had the pleasure of visiting.
MINERAL WORLD This property,
near>the River Queen, is owned by j.
w. NICHOLSON, and is one of the pref
test propositions in this section,
though having no large development.
1t is strong ledge, pitching into the
mountain at an angle of 40 degrees
The ledge is some 60 feet in width,
carrying up to 500 ozs silver and IL
to 20 per cent copper There is 60
foot shaft with numerous other de-
velopments of a meager nature, but
all bringing in ore and making a
thoroughly good prospect
NATIVE KING-Near the Nicholson

proposition, having only representa-
ton work done, though with such in
dicatons as to induce more develop
ment which is to proceed withou
delay. The native copper is fount
here in both quartz and lime, and
there are none of the other ores OF
copper present.

ON THE OREGON SIDE.

Crossing the Snake river at Bal
lard's Landing one goes into the state
of Oregon, and here he will find some
excellent properties, being indeed in
the copper belt of the Seven Devils,
with some of the richest copper ore
on the surface that was ever seen
The Journal feels to give mining in
this section the same entire encour
agement that the Seven Devils proper
receive, because in almost every way
the conditions are identical Favor
ing circumstances here are lower alti-
tudes, proximity to the river, and
ore bodies of great strength in a
formation at all times in place. Our
recent visit was not of thorough
character and we we're able to visit
but few properties because Of lack Of
time, we will postpone general and
extended mention till the next visit,
10 be made presently, letting this ar
ticle suffice with the following brief
notice of the principal properties we
visited:

conditions. But, in any event, the
Iron Dyke is property to add fame
and fortune to its owners and the
Seven Devils, for its great body of
ore will take centuries for extraction,
and, while of a little lower grade, it
resembles the Peacock in being an
enormous quarry of ore. 1t is one
of the best big propositions we ever

DEAR BOY LETTERS-No. 2.

My Dear Boy-You say that you have
read Mr.. Bryan's speech at indianapolis
and that there are some things in it that
appear TO be reasonable"
Well, Mr.. Bryan is very pleasant
speaker and can make a plausible show
ing when he has very weak case. He
is a clever, respectable gentleman who
learns his bread by the sweat of his
jaw" and he has learned his trade very
well. But let me call your attention to
a few solid facts for you to consider be-
fore you feel inclined TO yield your mind
to his brilliant generalities about impe-
rialism.
l. Mr.. Bryan's record proves him to
be an unsafe leader. lie is thcorist
rather than a practical man of affairs.
In every campaign in the past and upon
every issue heretofore presented to the
people for settlement, Mr. Bryan has
been mistaken. The results have proved
that he was mistaken. The natural pre-
sumption is that he is mistaken now.
When a Democratic Congressman and
also Populist leader in 1892, Mr.. Bryan
was very sure that free trade was the
thing needed to insure prosperity in the
United States. He was sure that the
''robber tariff was making it hard for
the farmer and the wage Garner to live.
He and those who believed as he did
succeeded in convincing the people, and
the Wilson bill, free trade measure, was
adopted and became law. Three years
of bitter experience proved that Mr..
Bryan and his friends were mistaken.
Factories were closed laboring men were
without employment; capital found no
productive investment. and the produce
of the farm brought no adequate return
to the farmer from 1893 to 1897 while
this free trade bill was the law.
In 1896 Mr.. Bryan and his Democratic
Populist following dropped the tariff is
sue like a hot potato and took up that
of free silver. During that campaign he
declared that il the free coinage Of sill
yer at the ratio OF 16 to was not adopt
ed, il gold standard continued to be
the law and became the fixed policy of
the country, that prices will go down is
as certain as the law OF gravitation;' -
that ''the rich will grow richer and the
poor poorer" that there will be de-
crease in the amount of money in circula-
tom" that "the army of the unemployed
will continue to increase"
Results have proved that Mr.. Bryan
was again mistaken. Every one of his
predictions turned out to be false. We
have now a protective tariff and the gold
standard law. Prices have gone up in
stead OF down. while the rich have grown
richer, the poor have shared in the gem
eral prosperity. the amount Of money in
circulation has largely increased, and la
Dor was never more generally employed
nor more adequately rewarded than now.
Is it not fair to presume that the gen
tleman who has always been mistaken
upon every other leading issue is mistak-
en- about Imperialism, which he declares

Why He viii Vote for Bryan.

Kansas and the thriving farmers are
compelled to import men to harvest the
crops these days, said well-known
wheat farmer who has just harvested

wouldn't be surprised If pa was wrong
Anyway, she was goin' to let time provst
all things to her. If Mckinley was!
elected and times got better then she'd
know that our money system DOESN'T
need changing. but If times got worse
then she'd think the Populists werei
right. or if Bryu1 was elected she'd
watch his admin, alton just the same
Anna had said Il surely would be
the simplest way ui proving which side

ed and said she had better find out the
true meaning of l6 to before she com
menced to argue"
II hope" Cynthia thought TO herself,
that Winnie will be loyal to the Popu-
list party, for they may give her the
candidacy for Superintendent"
Cynthia had now finished milkin' and
gone to the kitchen, to help the girls
with the evening work. Suddenly the
door flew open, and Simon plunged into
the room. He had returned much soon
er than usual, and Cynthia wondered
what could be the matter. He seemed
mad" and without saying word to-
explain his distorted appearance. threw

heavy crash his fist came down after
it, From the noise produced, she might
have thought he used sledge hammer

that Internal card and find out for your

Cynthia, picking 1t up, read these
words:

Dear Brother-I am coming to make

CHAPTER III.
Supply and Demand.


Five days had passed by since the
postal card from Ezra Grey was re-.
ceived. 1t was now the day for him to
arrive in Boonsville.
The County Convention of the Peol
pies Independent party had been held
and Winnie Grey was successful in re-
ceiving the nomination. She was now
candidate for County Superintendent
of Public Schools in Marble County on
the Populist ticket.
Political Simon was very proud of his
daughter, and only one thing marred
his happiness-the awful fact that his
brother Ezra was Republican.
His first impulse after reading thar
"Hurrah for Mckinley" followed by
three exclamation points, was to give
his brother cool welcome, but after
much thought and consideration he de-
cided to treat him all right as long as
Ezra didn't let his neighbors know that
he was Republican. He felt II 1t be-
came known in Boonsville it would dis
grace the Grey family, especially as he
had said so much about sending for his
brother to give a series of lectures In
favor Of Free Silver.
1t was bitter cup for him to swai
low, but there was no way to escape.
So when Ezra Grey stepped from the
platform of the train Simon grasped
his hand and gave 1t a hearty shake, at
the same time taking secret survey OF
his clothes to see If lie had Mckinley
button on. To his satisfaction there
was nothing about his person to inform
people of the awful truth; so with real
delight he introduced him to all he met
as his brother Mr.. Grey, from Pennsyl.
yana.
Just as they were preparing to start
for home Ezra Grey's keen ear heard
group of men, near by, discussing him.
One of the men, evidently a Populist
was heard to remark:
Talk about the Populist party being
look at that fellows face. Would you
call him an ignoramus?"
BY this time the two brothers had
started up the dusty road, and Ezra
Grey heard no more of the converse
ton.
Say, Simon" he said, did you hear
those fellows discussing me? They
seem to have the impression that am
Populist. Wonder how they ever
happened to think thatY' he said, laugh
ing.
Blame me for that" said Simon. Il
told them that had brother back In
Pennsylvania capable Of making
speeches. and thought Of sending for
him to lecture for Free Silver in these
parts through the campaign. This was
before received your card. of course.
Is II possible. Ezra. that you have not
yet seen the light?"
Ezra Grey chuckled. in spite Of 81,
mons solemnity.
''The light? Is that the name they
have for the silver delusion in this part
of the country? So you are Pop. arc
you, Slmon?"
Indeed am. am proud of that dis
tinction."
well. Simon, | am truly sorry that
you have been led into the silver trap,
have spent much time studying thu
subject. and am thoroughly convinced
that free silver is not what we need
and that it is a fraud"

Batting on "a Cents a Dox.

A New York yellow journal is vigorous
ly advocating the election of William j.
Bryan for President, and at the same
time daily printing articles to prove that
it is possible for man to live ON fifteen
cents day wages. This is very con-
sistent thing to do under such circum-
stances. With Bryan President there
might soon be such state Of affairs that
the working man would be glad to earn
fifteen cents day, and II is II good thing
for him to be informed that he can live
well and grow fat and prosperous on
that Misunderstanding to the yellow
Democratic organ in question.
