Mr.. Wilson's S Letter.
EDITOR INTELLIeENoER:

The Washington Post is, all things
considered the most creditable paper
to America now published on the
Eastern coast. But like all the other
papers in the East, there is nobody
connected with it who knows the
science of money. Lately it has had
editorials on sour short dollars, :"
meaning the silver dollars. In its
issue of August l, 1904, it published
the following from me and answered
editorialIy as follows:
Editor Post: Your editorial refer.
enceS to 'Short dollars" comes short
of completeness; they leave the reader
and would-be learner In the dark
They express dissatisfaction with a
present condition, but propose no
remedy, viii the Post give its read
ers editorially a statement Of what it
believes the proper policy as to the
silver dollars? VIII it also say what
it thinks is the proper policy as to the
still shorter silver halves, quarters
aud dimes? Mint Dire tor Roberts
recommends that the volume Of the
latter be decreased by a hundred
million dollars, face value. The Hill
= bill, which has taken the place of the
bashful Fowler bill, proposes to turn
a hundred millions Of your "shOrt
dollars" into a somewhat greater
volume of shorter halves, quarters
and dimes.
1t is a republican axiom that there
can be no fixed ratio maintained be-
tween silver and gold IN coinage, but
statute requires congress to maintain
the parity Of all forms Of currency
and money In the treasury and coun-
try at the ratio Of Is 98 to l.. 1t has
fixed another ratio for the Philippine
Islands, The Fowler bill, making
silver dollars redeemable in gold, was
introduced, and Mr.. Shaw said he
knew no other way of obeYing the
statute ordering him TO maintain the
parity Of all forms Of currency anC
money. Now, the president in ac
cepting his nomination says every
dollar issued or in existence is as gooC
as gold, which includes what you Cal
''short dollars "
Do any of them "kDOw where the!
are at?p Is there an editor, a states
man, or any federal official who know
the principles of be money science
These principles are as necessary il
the settlement Of the questions as tn
multiplication table 10 the solution
Of any mathematical problem.

for Miners

In order to do the assessment work
for a group of claims upon one OF them
patented or u~npatented, the claims must
be contiguous. so that each claim con-
cerned MAY be in some manne bene-
fitted, saws the Mining and Scientific
Press. The amount expended on tins
one claim must be at least equivalent to
the amount which would be required il
each claim were represented sepa-
rately. The work performed or i'm
provements made must manifestly be
for the benefit Of all the claims included
in the group, and the burden OF the
proof is upon the miner to show that
the work done, Or the improvements
made does, as a matter OF fact, benefit
each of the claims of the group. As
large properties are usually developed
Systematically for the purpose of more
economical workings, the running OF
levels from a shaft which will eventu-
ally extend into adjoining claims may
properly be considered as assessment
work performed on all the claims, or for
the benefit of all. The work may even
be performed outside of the boundaries
of the claims, or the work may be done
on a patented claim for the benefit OF
adjoining unpatented claims.
