to give the drink wide berth. Alb
stinence will add force and years to
their lives. It will add hundreds and
in many cases thousands of dollars to
their purse. It will mean cottages for
novels, and homes for rented houses.
It will mean self-respect, posi-
ton, influence. It will mean nobler
characters and more useful lives. It
will bring to wives and children the
means of enjoying the uplifting in
fluence of books, lectures and enter
tainments. In many cases it will
mean education for ignorance and in
others education plus accomplish
ments. It will mean to husband, wife
and children new and healthier men
tai and moral atmosphere and hunger
for the better things.
Yet it is not so much to urge work
ingmen to abstain that this Labor
number is issued. This is political
newspaper. It's mission is to win
votes for the gritty little party which
pleads for power that it may smite to
the earth the devilish saloon which is
making hell of so many lives and
homes, lives and homes of working
man and capitalist alike. The special
object of this number is to call the at
tention of our fellow toilers to the
magnitude of this issue and to plead
with them to give their support this
fall and to the end of the fight to the
Prohibition party.
There are enough workingmen in
the land to annihilate the saloon in
one election. We believe they are too
intelligent to very much longer allow
the half million saloonists to live on
their blood, in the well furnished
houses which should shelter their own
children, dressed in the nicely made
clothing which would SO well become
themselves and their families. We
believe they are too intelligent to very
much longer be voted like cattle by
parties mortgaged to the saloon and
by constituencies politicians and
capitalists, who, through the saloon
and saloon perpetuating parties, keep
our millions of workingmen in bond
age both to the saloon oligarchy and
to every abominable institution which
it inspires and protects. There is no
more patriotic body of men than the
great mass of American workingmen
and intelligent patriotism demands
the immediate death of the saloon.
Then, too, workingmen are naturally
independent politically. They have
no political axes to grind.
For these reasons we appeal to the
workingmen Of the land, not only
earnestly but hopefully, to come out
from the parties which protect the
saloon and live by it, and to ally them
selves with the brave young and grow
ing party which, inspired with love
for humanity, marches on to victory.

APPEAL TO WORKINGMEN.

This special Labor number is not
issued because we have fallen into the
belief, held by many, that working
men are a drunken class. It is true
that they drink the bulk of the liquor
which is manufactured. This is part
~ due to their great numbers and
partly to the pressure put upon them
by their long hours, and arduous la
bors. It does not follow that they
drink more than others per capita.
But however much or little they drink,
they are of all men least able to in
dulge their appetites without serious
loss to themselves and their families.
Their circumstances will not warrant
it, If they would warrant it in any,
and in the struggle which they are
often compelled to make for their
rights they need firm health, clear
minds and the largest possible degree
of pecuniary independence. Indul-
gence in the drink habit is at war with
all Of these.

1t is rumored that prospector has
just discovered new and rich placer
diggings in the south end of the
Chemehuevis mountains. A man came
in from the diggings Monday last aud
took out with him dry washer, but
would only state that he had found a
new diggings. A number of men have
already gone into that country in the
hope of running on to the place. In
the northeast end of the range there
has been thousands of dollars taken
out in the past few years by means Of
dry washing and the deposit is practic-
ally untouched. The new diggings are

The mines Of San Francisco mining
district are increasing their force at a
rapid rate. The Gold Road mine is
now employing l20 men and the Leland
now has % miners on the pay roll.
The other mines have doubled their
forces during the past month and are
employing all who apply for work. The
Gold Road company is working large
force of men on the new wagon road
grade over the mountain from Little
Meadows, while another force is laying
pipe and erecting buildings at the foot
OF the mountain. A six horse wagon
load OF black and giant powder was
hauled out from Kingman this morn
ing to be used la road work. The road
will be made very wide and the grade
will be quite easy to haul over. At the
mine the company is erecting buildings
and getting things in comfortable
shape for winter. Bunkhouses, hos
pital, reading room and a commodious
boarding house are almost com pleted.
The Leland people are also getting
buildings In shape and will soon be as
comfortably situated as any company
in the territory.

Several cars Of oil went out to Chic.

will begin running out high grade of
concentrates. The mine is in very
high grade ore and the body is one of
the largest opened up in the mine.
From the drifts alone so much ore has
been taken out that all the bins and
chutes are filled to overfiowing. No
stopping has been done on the lower
level and none will be done until all
the ore In the chutes has been sent to
the surface. The mine never looked
better than at present.

North Of the Colorado river the var
ions mining companies are arranging
for an active winters work. The leach.
ing plant in the Buckskin mountains
is doing good work and the com pany
are figuring on an extension Of the
plant. The Grand Gulch people are
opening the mine below the 400 and
are getting good bodies. The perma
nent formation has not been reached
in any Of the mines and no conception
Is had as to the actual depth of the
sandstone overflow. The ore bodies
lie in the sandstone in large deposits
and have very little connection with
each other. An effort is being made
at the Grand Gulch to get to the per.
manent formation, where 1t is thought
great vein Of copper will be found.
The mine has produced the richest
copper found in the United States and
the bodies have been exec ceptionally
large.

II is now settled fact that the Sa.
moan mine will pass into the hands Of
the Hoffmans and that work will soon
be started up on that property. The
new owners are practical mining and
smelter men and will soon have the
mine outputting large quantities Of
ore. The Samoan can be cut by a deep
tunnel opening enough ground to keep
large plant running for years. In
running this tunnel the vein on the
4th of March will be also exploited to
quite depth. This mine has been
producer of high class ore, its output
being equal TO the Samoan. A smelter
is almost sure to go in at Chloride to
handle the product of the mine and,
as other ores will have to be mixed
with it to make good smelt, ores from
the surrounding camps will have to be
purchased. This will open up mar.
ket right at home for the producer of
all classes of ores and insures the
opening up and working Of mines now
lying idle.

This was terrible arraignment Of
the South, but it was true then, and it
is true noW-that is, the conditions are
practically the same, although there
has been a change in some respects
for the worse. For instance, the COM
mon carrier determinations, which at
that time were acts of the corporations
without warrant of law, are now a
part of the organic law of the South
ern States. The unlawful suppression
of the ballots of o-Americans
eleven years ago is now permitted by
legal enactment. The unequal distri-
button of the school fund has been
succeeded by attempts in several
States to deprive the Afro-American
of all educational facilities.
Mr.. Fortune refused the presidency

movement started for the purpose of
reviving the League, which eliminated
in it's reorganization under the name
of the National o-American Coun-

president, but declined, and Bishop

T. Thomas Fortune, editor of the
New York Age, was the first to sug-
gest the Afro-American League, an Or
ganization in the interest of the race.
This he advocated for several years
with the result that a number of local
leagues were formed, In 1890 a ma
tiOnal convention was called and in re-
Spouse to this call representative men
OF the race from all parts of the coun-
try met in Chicago in February of that
year, and as the result of their DELHI
erations the National Afro-American
! League was born. Mr.. Fortune was
elected temporary chairman, and in
his opening address set forth the rea-
sons which justified the organization,
as follows:
