In the course of his statement Sena-

NO question has arisen in Ameri-

thing like such Importance except the
free silver question. OF all the rene
dies that have been suggested to re-
form railroad rates, the proposition
to give the Interstate Commerce Com
mission power to fix rates is the
worst. II is the most important ques-

On the 23d inst work was COM

pany's property. The work is be-
ing done in the upper tunnel for the
purpose of cutting the big Silver
Link vein 160 feet below and 200
feet west of the shaft from which
$4,000 ore has been shipped. The
vein viii be cut within the next 80
of 40 feet. Better buy stock now at
% cents per share
rather than wait until this vein is
cut and then buy the stock at twice
that figure and be glad to get 1t even
then. Remember we have had assays
that ran $4,000 recently from this
vein, and one choice sample ran 1,50O
ounces in silver per ton. We expect
to cut a rich body of ore when we
strike this vein. Now is the time to
buy stock and not wait till it goes
above par.
Not only have we the rich vein
mentioned, but we have eleven other
veins on our property. all of which
show good values near the surface on
our property, and beyond our side
lines some of them have produced
hundreds of thousands of dollars.

tributive causes. we are a present un-
able to say. or until the present in
vestigation into its affairs have deter
mined how greatly the association is
involved and what were the causes
leading up to It. That its debts were
so large and so many. we can say was
n matter of surprise to the board OF
directors They had been under the
impression that the debts of the as
sociation were being gradually re-
duced and that with anything like
q fair condition prevailing and good
attendance at the last fair that the
major portion of the Indebtedness
would be wiped out.
The surprise is great to the board
of directors that Notwithstanding a
very fair attendance at the last meet
ing its debts have piled high and that
there is a lively clamor for the pay
ment of legitimate debts by people
who have accounts against the assoc
iation.
The entire affairs Of the associa-
tion have been practically in the
hands of the secretary, DR.. c. d.
Fisher, for the past two years. The
secretary, it is said, brooked no inter-
ference from anyone over the manner
in which the affairS OF the assOcia-
tion were TO be conducted. When he
left the city, he left the officers of the
company to delve in the darkness
over conditions and whatever may
have been the causes that have led
to the deplorable condition in the as
sociation's affairs. DR.. Fisher is blam-
I ed for them. For his own sake he
4 should at once return TO this city and
] explain many matters which are in
/ dispute over the association affairs.
Many ugly rumors regarding the
secretary are in circulation in the
| city and he owes 1t to himself and
| the association. of which he was the
practical head TO come back and clean
up the record that is being piled up
against him. whether it be correct or
/ untrue. We feel that nothing has as
/ yet been discovered affecting the
/ honesty of Dr. Fishers management
! OF the affairs and until they are dis
! covered, we as well as the public
should hold him innocent until proven
| guilty. No member of the board of
directors charge dishonesty as yet,
but so many things have come to
light which have been so far uneX-
plainable. that TO clear matters DIR.

These organs In red clover are hidden

by the long tongued bumbiebee. II

How much greater than three-fourshs
Is four-fourths1
AT irst sight It seems an easy ques.
ton. but put Il to your arlthmebcai

1t will divide them into two parties,
one c~ontending that the answer is one
fourth and the other as positively Of
hrming that 1t is one-third, while both
will be ready to prove the accuracy Of
their respective solutions.
The party OF the FIRST part Ito Use q
legal phrase) may argue their point in
this way:
Five shillinBs 10 the fourth part OF a
pound. II you have 10 shillings, or
three-fourths Of a pound, and m
body gives you another fourth part you
have a sovereign-ergo, your four
fourths is one-fourth greater than
three-fourths.
But this will not suit the other party
at all, and they will proceed scornfully
to point out that the argument Is all
wrong. since II you have 10 shillings
and somebody is generous enough to
add D shillinBs to 1t the donor Is on
ly giving you oneythird Of the amount
you already possess Is times 8 equals
10y. therefore your sovereign Is only
one.third more than your is shillings.
