Dear Sir:
l read in your last issue the fol-
lowing statementregarding the action
of Governor Swanson and the BRYAN
element in Richmond:
1T is stated in the Richmond pa
pers that Governor Swanson thinks
he will not be able To meetMr Bryan
in Richmond on the 11th, owing TO
pressing engagements at Jamestown,
or elsewhere. What is the trouble? {?
1t will be recalled that the Governor
could not be at Radford Fair last fall
when Mr.. Bryan spoke there, until
some of his friends suggested that he
had better be there, and he dropped
everything and came. Now the same
pressure of engagements seem TO
be on again. Is Governor Swanson
dodging Mr.. Bryan? If so, why?"
l noticed several days ago that
Governor Swanson wolud entertain
the Governor of New York at the
Virginia Building in jamestown on
Oct. 1lth, and cannot see why he
would be compelld to stay in Rich
mond on account of Mr. Bryan's pre-
sence in that city on that date.
Everybody knows that the Governor
has been very busy man this year,
and has done more in the last three
months TO curb the railroads, than
any other Governor since Virginia
has been Commonwealth. Governor
Swanson's action and deliberation in
this particular measure, will carry
him to the Senate of the United
States.
Who is Mr.. Bryan? Mr.. Bryan
has only served one term in Congress
and managed to be the Democratic
candidate twice, and led the party
to defeat through his own socalled
policies and received a much smaller
vote the last race than the first, and
is now going the rounds trying to
twist the necks of the Democrats for
the third nomination. Now / think
the Bryan waive has struck us often
enough, let us stand upon a broader
and more definite platform, and nom.
mate Democrat for the Presidency,
and cut out this foolish socalled
| Bryan policy. / don't think Mr..
Bryan's mission to Virginia, in ordel
to lay out what he thinks the run.
ming plank for 1908, should have any
weight with Virginia's statesmen
nor the we'll tried and staunch Demo
Gratis of the Nation.
Why not nominate Virginia.
honored son, Senator John w. Daniel
or John Sharp Williams, of Missis.
sippi? Either would make a stronge
candidate than Mr.. Bryan, and tn
South has been giving almost tn
entire electoral vote in the last hire
campaigns, then why not nominat
a Southern man? Nominate Governo
Swanson and we will have a better
broader and safer man thanever live
in the Valley of the Platte.

his patients fully into his confidence by
frankly and fearlessly publishing broad

best possible evidence that he is not

and the most thorough investigation.

Comparisons are sometimes odi-
ous and again they are siily-which is
worse. This comment is suggested by
the fevered imaginings of a mining
writer who recently said in cold type
that Nevada was outstriping South
Africa in the production of gold. The
absurdity Of the statement was patent
to everyone who knows anything of the
gold mining and it will appear equally
absurd to the amateur when he reads the
current journals that the prnduc-
ton Of the Rand in 1906 was 5,73o ,oI7
fine ounces worth SII5,o58,o 900. That

The use OF pewter for domestic uten-

to assign a date to the precise time
when it succeeded wood. Indeed, even
after pewter drinking vessels We're

The company has acquired the
Grouse group of claims on the south
slope of Bellevue mountain, con-
sisting Of seventeen claims. The
property was worked under bond
~knd lease for nearly year. when
the showing justified taking up the
bond. The main work has been
done on the Young,Chief:tunnel on
the vein, andinto which cross lodes
make succession of oreltshoots.
In places the vein is twenty feet in
width, all of the vein mattersbeing
of marketable grade, running
from 50 to S1o per ton. A test
made this week of the heading and
thirty feet back lwhere..the vein is
fully six feet wide, shows an ave-
rage value for the entire width to
be SI4.6o per ton, and Manager
Boyd will put few men to- work
in starting a stope at this point.
The Grouse properties have pro-
duced upwards of $40, 900. from the
surface workings Some Of the
smelling ore running as high.as 10
ounces in gold per ton, while many
shipments of surface quartz yielded
from three to ten ounces in gold to
the ton.
Now that the organization'of the
company has been completed, and
there is ample ground opened up
'r continuous mining, the.property
will soon be producing regular
tonnage, and in the meanwhile ne.
gotiations are under way with the
owners of the Hoosac, Surprise,
Lucania and Dover tunnels for a
right of way through any of those
tunnels, SO that the claims owned
by the company can be opened up
and operated at greater depth
than by means of the surface adits
as at present.
