Republic, WASH, July 9.-Torod"
creek mines are again attracting atten-

aud some OF them expect to cut their
lodges within a few days. Some OF
the lodges 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 rs 255 ounces OF silver
and SIS in gold per ton were obtained
from the ore near the surface. The
owners decided 70 run tunnel ana

be An off .shoot from the lodges. The
ore carries about 200 ounces Ut silver

WORD TO THE FIL,PjN0y,
Reclamation Circulated Hearing tia
Name Of Aguinaldlo.


Name Of Aguinaldo.
Manila. July 1.-Two rebel docu.
ments have lately been circulated in
Manila the most important of which
Is an alleged proclamation from Agui.
naldo concerning the coming civil com.
mission. The proclamation warns the
Filipino people to beware of the com.
mission and it's promises of future bene
tits, and begs them never to give IN
their arms in the vain hope Of thereby
enjoying ultimate freedom and happl.
ness. Tho proclamation states that
the commisson is appointed by Presi.
dent Mckinley. and not by the Ameri.
can congress; that it has not authority
to treat or take any action whatever in
the name OF the government, and pre-.
ulcts fCr the commission headed bv
Judge Taft the same end as that which
attened the peace commission of last
year, which Aguinaldo describes are
farcical and ridiculous. lie dwells at
conside rable length upon statements to
show this commission has no legal or
official standing, and begs, implores
and orders the Filipino people not to
Do deceived by them nor to give up
their arms upon their representations.
lie then goes on to say that if the com.
mlssloners visit the smaller towns and
provinces of Luzon they are to be re.
ceived we'll and with enthusiasm.
"Ask them for the kind OF municipal
government you most desire, and 10
not afraid to speak boldly to them.
Remember the dark days of Spanish
outrages are past, and that the Ameri.
cans allow freedom of speech" In
other words, get all you can out of the
commission. but put no faith in them.
The proclamation ends with cries
for Filipino liberty and independence,
is signed by Aguinaldo, and dated May
4. on the island OF Polillo, which is
situated on the east coast of Luzon. |
This Is the first time an alleged procla.
nation from Aguinaldo has found its !
way into Manila for over six months,
and many people declare it is IL forgery
and emanates from the Filipino iunta
at Hong Kong. No proof has been oh.
tanned to Sustain this theory. and there
Is just as much reason to believe the
document is legitimate as to claim that
it is spurious. AS far as its effect and
influence over the Filipino people are
concerned, it is sufficient that it he
signed by Aguinaldo's name to carry
great weight with them.
The proclamation is very similar in
,urport to one circulated here about 10
lays ago, printed in Spanish and sent
'ver to Manila from Hong Kong by the
nnta. These pro CARNATIONS were con-
called in the soles OF shipments of !
hoes, and were very generally circu.
ated throughout the city. The other ,,
nsurgent communication referred to is F.
long letter from General Triao to the !.
oreign consuls in Manila, in which he
tempted to vindicate the Filipino
eople from any responsibility in the
scent massacres of Spanish prisoners
the Camarines provinces.
