OFFICE HOLDING.

Yesterday was election day in South
Carolina; officers have been elected to
administer the affairs of government
for the on-coming terms. The occasion
brings to mind the real meaning of
office holding.
Our government, county, state and
national, is the handling of the public's
business-the administration of the
peoples affairs. Public offices are Gre
ated to divide and %apportion this work;
public officials are elected to supervise
and execute the business of the various
offices. Officers, then, are the servants
of the people, entrusted with the peo-
ple's affairs. Grover Cleveland, the
great American, had the correct and
proper conception of Office holding and
set q worthy example in this regard.
The people were his master and to
them he held himself accountable.
William Jennings Bryan has caught
the spirit of the great leader and in the
following excerpt from his speech of
acceptance gives the true meaning of
office holding:
Recognizing that | am indebted for
my nomination to the rank and file of
our party, and that my election must
como, if it ome at all, from the un-
purchased and unpurchasablc suffrage
OF the American people, l promise, if
entrusted with the responsibilities of
this high Office, to consccratc whatever
ability have to the one purpose of
making this, in fact, a government in
which the people rule-a government
which will do justice to all, and offer to
every n the highest possible stimulus
to great and persistent effort, by as
surfing to each the enjoyment of his
just share of the proceeds of his toll,
no matter in what part of the vineyard
he labors, or to what occupation, pro-
fession or calling he devotcs himself. -

PROSPECTOR OF
EARLY DAYS

VIM. Rankin, grizzled veteran of
the civil war, who left Chicago in the
early fifties and, save the dark days of
the rebellion, has since been a dweller
in the eternal hills, came out from
Custer this week. The old pioneer has
just sold two mining claims on Estes
mountain, adjoining the Montana, to
Mr.. ]. A. Czizek and associates for a
neat sum, says Mackay Miner, also
bonding half interest ir another claim
to the same parties, and was on his way
to Ward, Colorado, to visit a brother
whom he has not seen in years.
"Mr. Rankin came into Custer county
in the early day rush for the gold fields
near Custer city and has fingered near
his cabin home ever since. With the
exception of ten mile ride on the
Haley branch many years ago, his
lIclu IlQS lIOl1 nCIC Oll Wde
the first he had experienced since 1857.
The old prospector had not seen a train
in years, but accepted the novelty with
more Indifference than the tenderfoot
does his first stage trip. He reads the
mountains as other people pursue theil
books, finding a new theme in every
glance, a story filled with hope and love
of life.
He has sold his claims and enough o.
this worlds goods repose in his vale
to smooth the trail which leads dow
the other side, without a thought o
the work-a-day world to mar his refec
tions On the joys which came in youth
when the summit of life was bathed il
the radient glow of hope. In Leaving
the field he has grown to love, he bid
the boys goodbye with a wish for thei
"good luck'' that comes from ava
down in his heart.

The Local Effects.

Up to the present time the only effect
the flood has had on the mountain dis
tricts has been in the irregularity of
mail service. and the shutting off of
travel, but the loss of the bridge at
Sites will result in injury to this camp
and district. No heavy machinery can
be brought across the river, or supplies
and provisions, either, until something
more serviceable than boats are pro-
vided.

FAMILIAR CAMP SCENE
Chinese Cook, Supe, Cards and
Whisky.

The prospector to his burro, IN Salt |
Lake Mining Review:
''The Chinese cook" said the pros
pector to his burro, lis as meek-looking
as burro, and yet he is as deep as a
well, and always carries more than one
ace up his sleeve. He is a necessity in
an isolated mining camp, and yet his
presence there often has a demoralizing
effect on company affairs, and especi-
ally so if he is an expert at stuff and
poker, and if the mine superintendent
harbors the thought that he is some
thing at cards himself
81 see that you do not grasp the idea
of what such combination means, and
think it is pleasing sight to see the
chink and the superintendent Willing
away the midnight hours over little
game with dollar ante, and a whisky
bottle near by as a source of refresh
ment. Well, it may look that way to
one Of your feeble intellect, but such
pastime is not conducive to the best
interest of the company, none what
ever; and the usual result is that in the
end the Chinaman has all Of the loose
cash Of the superintendent in his
pocket, and perchance some of the
money belonging to the company, while
the superintendent has a head on him
as big as barrel the next day, and is
totally unit for business or the direc-
ton Of the men in his employ. The re-
suit is that the mine is poorly looked
after, the men become careless in their
work, and the property is allowed to 90

RAILROAD AND DAMS ARE GONE
Sites a Heavy Loser--Effects
on Mountain Districts.

Reports from the districts in the
Clearwater country that were flooded
last week prove that the water wrought
greater damage to property and caused
more distress and inconvenience to the
people than any high water in long
time. Sites and Kooskia, in the upper
country, suffered more than other places
heard from, and while reports from
Lewiston are meagre, they Indicate the
usual results from high water there,
and had the Snake river risen in the
same proportion as the south tributaries
of the Clearwater the damage to Lew

Much Gold in Face Sug-
gests the Comparison.
GOLDEN CROWN FINE PROSPECT
Strong Ledge Starts at Grass
Roots--One of Three.

A strike in quartz of unusual richness,
estimated to assay gold from $50 to
several hundred, was made in the Golden
Crown the first of the week, in a
ledge that is 10 feet wide at Is feet
depth and is showing greater width as
depth is attained.
The writer visited the mucn-talked-of
Golden Crown, Tuesday, and found that
reports have not overstated the true
conditions. From the grass roots the
ledge is firm and compact. and shows
greater width at lowest points where it
has been stripped and opened. The ore
shows gold without the aid of a glass.
Wednesday after a shot was fired, Mr..
Nassau reports, gold showed in such
quantity that the cavity ''lOoked like
a jewelry store" The ore is sulphide.
A tunnel has been started that will give
depth of 25O feet. Four men are
working.

decided would occur on the night of

velop he left $135 to be used to tlefray
the expenses of his funeral and IN an
other he enclosed a note telling the cor
