Ell mitin en- que habian de ex-
plicar los delegados obreros por
esta isla a la Convention de
San Francisco de California, los
trabajos ALI realizados, tiene
una importancia que no Sc debe
desconocer y que es precise po-

La gravedad del estado eco.

vo al hablar de la prensa puer-
torriquena, y aqul nadie tiene
derecho q recabar para 81, 9 para
los suyos, nj mas prestigios nj
mas tltulos que para la prensa,
que es un modelo de abnega-
cion Y de generosidad, de sacri-
ficio Y de absolute desinteres.
En- medic, muchas veces, de
la indiferencia publica y del
abandono mas general, la prem
sa puertorriquela, ha tratado
todos los problemas, ha defen-
dido todas las causas leg1timas,
sin aguardar como en- otros pal

una remuneradora circulation.

nos con respecto de los proble-
mas que estan planteados.
No negamos, no desconOce-
mos que Ell ilustre Presidente
de la American Federation of
Labor, ha sido Ell norteameri-
cano que mas elocuente y hon

of the interior, after decisions by the
officers Of the Cheyenne land office
and the commissioner of the general
land office at Washington, both decis-
ions being in favor Of the miners.
A piece of ore taken from the face
of the drift at the same depth as the
specimens assayed, but several feet
away from the body of copper bearing
ore, showed the same value in gold
and silver. but no copper.
Captain Ben Towner. who sent the
specimens in to have assays made, &C
companied them with a note in which
he said: THE ore is better than any
thing that has heretofore come out of
the tunnel, and l feel quite encouraged.
We found it Just under the hard rock
through which We have been going for
some time"
The wners Of the Rip Van Wrinkle
are quite encouraged at the prospect.

couraging though conservative. and it
is believed that the ore body so long
sought has been encountered.

mind you--because ID bore picture IN

IN which an American should be per-
mltted to see his flag Is in some vast,
dim crypt, with solemn service and
toling bells and he should not see IL
then, for as It Il lifted every head
should bow, and such clouds OF incense
should arise thereby indicating the
Americans glorious good opinion OF
himself that not a person In the place
