EYES," said J. Ii. Patrick, from the
Caribou Hydraulic Mining company's
mine on the Quesnelle river, British
Columbia, Il guess | am with the big
gest gold placer mine in the world. At
least l never heard Of a bigger one.
One hundred and twenty whites and
as many Chinese and Japs are employ
ed during the working season. The
face Of the hill In which the gold is
found is between $50 and 400 feet high,
100 yards wide at the bottom, and the
pay streak is 120 feet thick. The wa
ter supply comes from two lakes, the
larger 10 miles away, the smaller ten
miles away. Dams have been put In,
raising the level Of the lakes 8 feet
and 40 feet respectively. The water is
brought down to a point above the
mine in bitches, whence 1t is run into
two 80 inch pipes, contracting to nine
inches at the nozzle, with fall Of 420
feet. The tremendous head throws a
solid nine inch stream of water 300
feet before 1t sprays, and its effect up
on the face of the hill is like tornado
In a wooden town. This stream Of wa
ter would cut a man In two like can
non ball, and a Mauser rife bullet shot
at short range would not penetrate it.
"The sluices are feet wide by
feet In depth, the size Of ordinary
sluices being II by s inches. We
use steel rifles in these sluices. We
used wood before, but the force Of the
water and rocks and earth dashing
through the sluices wore off blocks a
foot thick every five days.
"The pay streak runs % cents to the
ton, and our last clean up this season,
which was for 33 days. showed $780,
900, or a little over $1,000 day of "a
hours. This product, which is In the
form of shot gold,' or 'pinhead gold
and nuggets, weighing sometimes as
high as six ounces each. Is melted up
into a brick, which is brought out by
the stage company. There is no risk in
bringing the gold through wild coun-
try, as the brick ordinarily weighs in
the neighborhood of 400 pounds, which
the usual road agent would have some
difficulty in carrying away.
"Will it last? Well, can't say how
long, but it will run for 80 years yet
on what is in sight in the hill they are
working, and then they can take anoth-
er hill. That whole country is full Of
them, and it only requires capital to
make them give I'D their treasure"

Ex~-Congressman Campbell of Illinois
has just returned from the Philippines,
where he saw active service as an officer
of United States in command of the
Ninth Hlincis. Speaking to his fellow
citizens this week at McLeansboro, Ill.,,
he explained the situation in Luzon as
follows:
Many of your comrades enlisted and
went with me to the Philippines. They
have distinguished themselves upon bat
tlefields, and they. as I, feel tina the In
surrection would nave long ago ceased
if it had not been for the encouragement
that A~guinaldo and his wandering bands
received from Bryan, Atkinson, Petit
grew, and others Of their ilk.
The blood of the gallant Lawton, of
Major Logan, and OF the noble boys who
have fallen upon the battlefield there is
upon the hands of these men who have
been encouraging this insurrection. I do
not think that there are 1000 armed in
surgents upon the Philippine Islands.
Our soldiers are garrisoning over 600
cities and towns, governments have been
organized, and natives have taken up
allegiance to the United states and arc
now citizens of Our great republic.
AS soon as he heard of the democratic
plank at Kansas City relating to the
Philippines, A~guina,do sent his ennis
saries to try to get the citizens to take
up arms against the Americans, which
they absolutely refused to do, and in
formed us of their intention to stay by
us. All of the educated property-owners
and business men are satisfied hat they
are not ready for self-government. In

There is a good deal of talk In the
democratic press about the eight hour
pledges OF the various state platforms.
To settle the question OF the sincerity
and validity of the democratic platform
on this subject. the Inter Mountain
offers this suggestion to the labor organ
izations in this state:
Let them appoint a committee Of Ave
trusted leaders. instructing them to take
the democratic eight-hour pledge and
submit it to the best lawyer in the state
for an opinion as to the constittstdnality
of a law enacted in conformity with that
pledge. If the lawyer shall decide that
a law based on the democratic eight
hour plank and drawn UP in Conformity
with its pledges would be constitutional.
let his opinion be read to the labor or
g%anizations for their instruction. If he
shall decide that it would be ~upepnsti>
~tutional. let tina opinion be ALSO sub
mitted to them. .. iaer1,, >
Afterwards, let the. republican, plank
be submitted to the same lawyer pnd
let his opinion be also submitted..I
Then let the labor vote go to that
party whose promise of an eight-hour
day can be best c~rystallized into a law
that will stand a constitutional test.
The Inter Mountain believes the demo-
cratic proposition is so worded as.to be
impracticable and ineffective, and that it
was purposely so worded So that the
courts would have to declare %unconsti-
rectiOnS,
