There seems to be no mistake or
fake about these deposits, and that
they are extensive as to area and
depth, as samples have been sent to
Rapid City to the government assay
ing establishment, and a thorough test
made. The assay Of the poorest samp-
les shows $1.65 a ton, after being fig
ured by score of hands, and nearly
half the dust sticking to the fingers.
The gold is pure dust In sand, and
can be shoveled up as easily as COM
mon sand, and the hills and valleys
are full of it on ground comprising
nearly 100 acres, some PLACES as deep
as forty feet.
The writer has seen the assay Ger
t1f1cate signed by the assayer, L. Mel
linger, and Charles H. Fulton, presi-
dent of the college of mines, Rapid
City,. S. D. We have spent several
days prospecting there and have samp-
les of the gold washed and some UNI

In SPITE of the discoarsgements OF

In SPITE of the disconragements OF
the spirit of inililsrism, the question OF
international disarmament still occupies
the public mind in Europe. 1t is prob
able that 10 harmony with the resolution
of the British House of Commons last
Nav the next Hague Conference will en-
deayor to formulate plan for gradual
reduction Of army and navy establish
ments that will be acceptable to the ma
tons. By reducing military exPendi'
lures without in the least endangering
national safety the growing deficit In the
treasures of several nations would be
converted into large surplus that coniq
be devoted to public improvements aud
other peaceful objects. The Engiish
masses would also be relieved OF a hesVs
burden of taxation by this international
policy of which mutual jealousies have
hitherto prevented the adoption.

Caught between two street cars al

moment the machine doubled up and its

bled into an ambulance and hurried to a

New York Democrats,

New York, Sept. 90 1t was stated
in these dispatches yesterday morning,
that the most dangerous rock ahead OF
the Hearst candidacy for Governor was
that the Independence League would
rritate the regularity nerve of the party
democrats. This development occurred
late yesterday when Norman E. Meek,
of Buffalo, national committeeman from
the State OF New York, turned on
Hearst because of his being candidate
of another party aud put forward Mayor
Adam, of Buffalo, for the democratic
nomination Tor Governor
While this action OF Msck's makes
the issue more uncertain, New York
politicians do no draw any definite con-
clusion from it. The World this morn
ing estimates that Hearst has l4l dele
gates pledged, while he needs l26
votes to secure him the democratic
nomination. The 1906 votes control.
I'D by Tammsny Hall are not contain
ed iu the estimates Of l4l. Murphy
claims that the unit rule will prevail.
and that he can cast the whole 100.
Should he cast this number for Hearst,
the editor candidate would have ga, or
20 votes more than enough. Should the
unit rule break down, il is stated that
Murphy can only control ~ votes, which
would give Hearst 2l3, should Murphy
cast them for Hearst, or less than enough
to nominate. tn re are, however,
large number OF uninstructed delegates,
whose vote is not certain.
Some of Hearsps friends have been
urging him to say something quick to
conciliate machine democrats, but the
epithet of clothing store dummy is the
only contribution to date. From this it
is Judged that the democratic mountain
is expected to come to MahoWet Hearst
and that Hearst does not intend to go to
the mountain.
All Of which adds to expectations as to
the sensational and extraordinary char
acter of the coming Buffalo convention.
