ANOTHER DROP FOR TELLER.

Senator Teller, in his effort to get
the Democrats of Colorado to elect
him to the senate for the term which
begins in 1903, has, according to
speech of his printed in the Democrat
ic Denver News, been saying that he
has always been Democrat at heart.
1t was only the slavery issue that
made him Republican. he says. and
on all other things he was a Demo
crat all along This ought to be pref
ty Interesting intelligence to the men
who have been electing him as Re-
publican for a quarter of century,
and to the country which called him
Il Republican until 1896.
This is one of the most shameful
confessions of duplicity ever made by
a public man. Slavery has been dead
throughout the United States since the
adoption of the thirteenth amendment
in 1865. Eleven years after that time,
or when Colorado entered statehood,
Teller was chosen one of the senators
of that state on the claim that he was
n Republican. The Republican presi-
dent. Arthur accepting his declara-
tion that he was a Republican. put
Teller in the cabinet as secretary OF
the interior. At the end OF Arthur
term in 1885 the Republicans OF Colo
rada. on the strength of Teller's asser-
tion that he was a Republican, sent
him back to the senate, and chose him
for another term in 1891. Teller en-
tered the Republican national eonven'
tion at st. Louis in 1896 as Republl
can, took part in its deliberations, and
in that body, in appealing against the
adoption of the gold plank in It's plat
form. said he had Joined that party
when it was founded and subscribed tt

RICH STRIKE IN
THE PoRcuPINE

| The greatest gold srtike made in the
la Plata district since the Neglected
was proven a mine was made yester-
| lay in the Porcupine. when it was
proven conclusively that the Porcupine
ore is identically the same as the rich
ore of the Neglected. The Porcupine
workings, tunnel is $500 feet west
iro mthe Neglected, on the same vein,
and by actual survey is seventeen
hundred feet deeper than the lowest
workings on the Neglected. which
proves for the latter mine that it will
have its present ore to that much
greater depth. This proof is not abso-
lutely established but reasoning on
every line OF geological probability, It
quite certain that the Porcupine
strike means much for the Neglected
mine.
The ore streak In the Porcupine vein
is from two to six feet wide, precisely
The same in detail as the ore of the
Neglected mine. Assays give returns
IS high as three hundred dollars gold,
the whole vein giving value of ten
dollars. The vein in places is fully
twenty-five feet wide between walls,
including ore and vein filling, all con-
aiming gold values.
The Importance of the Porcupine
strike cannot be overestimated in so
Jar as it relates to the strength and
continuity of veins in the La Plata
district at great Depth as well as re
CARDS the stubborn maintenance of high
gold values.
comparison of the Neglected ore
with that of the Porcupine will fail to
find a difference in a single detail
rhe Porcupine owners are fortunate in
proving a mine with one-tenth of the
expenditure of money which was
required to prove the Neglected,
and their good fortune will recall to
many of the weak-kneed the oppor-
tunities they neglected when looking
around the Oro Fino to find gold on
The bushes. Some of the alleged eX-
perts who have turned down many of
the properties of the La Plata district
might learn something by getting a
job on some mine there for while.
Development has been carried on
steadily on the Porcupine for over two
months, and the work will now be
pushed more vigorously. Anything
which will be required to develop the
property and mine the ore advan-
tageously will be forthcoming.
The present situation with a little
further work, should enable the own
ers to ship regularly. Another Neg
lected will help materially in establish
ing home confidence in the district.
