Thousands Welcome Democratic
Candidate for President on
His Appearance in Denver

DENVER, Colo. Oct. 1e.-w. J..
Bryan. democratic candidate for presi-
dent, was the guest of this city for
several hours tonight and was given a
most cordial reception In spite of a
dtful rainfalls, great crowds lined the
streets through which the candidate
rode to the Auditorium.
En- route Bryan halted thrice to adj
dress the crowds stationed at points
along the line of march 1t required
three-quarters of an hour to reach the
Auditorium, in which were assembled
$4,000 people. As many more were
compelled to content themselves out
side with a glimpse of the candidate.
One of the features of the parade
was an effigy of an elephant, represent
ing the republican party, lying dead
from the shafts of democratic as
sault, each spear being labeled with a
democratic argument, such as anti
publicity "Ananias club tariff re-
vision and other suggestive inscrip-
tions.
Bryan took for his text, Let There
Be Light and said, in part:
The republican policies are without
form and void. Darkness conceals
of an aroused people calls out Let
there be light.
What influences are marshaled be-
hind the republican ticket? What debts
are being contracted2 What mortgages
are being given2 Let there be light.
The democratic committee has set the
example. For the first time in our ma
tional history national committee has
taken the nation into its confidence and
given forth a list of its contributors.
This is in the interest of honest poll
tics and honest government. 1t opens
new era. Will the republicans dare
to defy universal sentiment and main
tain the secrecy that has given pred
atory wealth its hold upon the govern
ment?
What is the republican party going
to do for the restorat ton of confidence
among the depositors? What assurance
is it going to give that the savings of
the people will be protected from loss?
On every question the democratic party
announces its plan and sets forth in
detail the remedies which it proposes
The democratic party takes the public
into its confidence and submits its poll
cies to their judgment. Let the repub-
lican party be equally candid and open
its books and its plans. Let there be
light.

President Roosevelt Reviews
Candidates Attitude Toward
Organized WOrkmen
Brotherhood of Steam Shovel
and Dredge Men Make Nom-
inee Honorary Member

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-T. ]. Dolan, gem
national brotherhood of steam shovel
and dredgemen, today made public a
letter from President Roosevelt, an
swering one sent by Mr.. Dolan in
which Mr. Dolan declared that his or
ganization was proud of Mr. Taft's
honorary membership in the brother
hood. President Roosevelt's letter fol-
lows:
The White House, Washington,
Oct Is, 1908
My Dear Mr.. Dolan: / have your
letter OF the 18th inst, and am much
pleased with the copy of the article
for your journal which you inclosed.
Indeed you may rest assured that if
l did not believe that Taft would oc-
cupy just the position toward organ
lied labor that 1 have tried to occupy,
and in which you and L believe, then,
fond though l am of him, l would not
back him.
As you know, 1 have never for enc
moment hesitated to oppose organized
labor on any point where thought or
ganiZed labor was wrong: but just ae
little do 1 hesitate to stand up for or
ganiZed labor when l think it is right.
The administration can we'll afford
10 stand on its record of positive ac-
complishment4 for organized labor, and
as regards the isthmus of Panama,
where we nave most TO 90 WIFI Or
ganized labor. that record is Tafts.
You yourself know we'll what the
United States government has done as
regards the workingmen on the 18TH
mus Thanks largely to Mr.. Taft, the
record of the government at Panama is
that of model employer, both as re-
CARDS wages and hours and as regards
the housing and care of employees.
l DO not believe that the laboring
men of this country have ever had in
office a stancher friend than Mr.. Taft.
The attack upon him by certain self
constituted political leaders of organ
lied labor, If successful. would in the
long run gravely damage the cause of
organized labor, for these men are try
ing to persuade the people of this
country that organized labor has in
terests apart from and hostile to the
interests of the great mass of the
American people, and such an attitude,
If persisted in. would inevitably in the
end result disastrously to organized
labor itself
| believe they will fail in this effort
TO misguide their followers and TO do
wrong to the American people, and it
is above all things for the interest
of organized labor that they should
fail. If Mr.. Taft were not elected the
chief sufferers from the chaotic busi-
ness conditions that would follow
would follow would be the working
men. All of our citizens would bene-
fit by Mr.. Tafts election, but the
working gmen most of all

GOLD RUN HAS MINES
OF REMARKABLE MERIT

Robert Major and A. J. Tedder are
doing work on the Gold Reef claim.
Some of the richest ore found in the
Basin has been taken from this claim.
AT the Adelaide mine, owned by the
Glasgow & Western Exploration com
pany, a force of miners are kept steal
lily at work taking down ore that is be-
ing hauled to the company's big mill
ing plant at Golconda over the narrow
gauge railroad.
After sinking a shaft to a depth of
fifty feet a drift is now being run on
the ledge and ore is being hoisted that
assays well in gold and silver from the
Gaiena mine, which is owned by Fay
ant, Duncan and Labadie. There is an
excellent showing of lead-silver ore on
this property, which only needs develop
ment to make it one of the big mines
of the camp.
Jesse TAYLOR, who has a lease on the
Leadviile, has taken out ore that runs
F-lo W the iou. Win suitSs III gnu,
silver and lead, from the 50-foot shaft.
At the Nevada Central mine there is
another carload of ore ready for ship
ment. A number of shipments have
been made from this property during
the summer.
Superintendent j. H. Playter is push.
ing work on the Nevada Mining com.
pany' s property. The hoist is running
steadily and the shaft is below the 100
foot point. At the 150-foot level a
crosscut will be started for the ledge,
which was cut through lei the 50-foot
point. This property has good showings
of ore in well defined lodges which have
every appearance of going to depth.
The Glasgow & Western Exploration
company a short time ago made a ship
ment of 10000 pounds of high grade
copper concentrates to the Salt Lake
srnelter and will make another ship
ment of the rich material as soon as
ears are available. This company is
using in its big reduction plant what is
known as the Maequestin or iotation
process Of concentration, which has
proved a great success.

The Gold Run mining district, out
from Golconda, deserves a great deal
of attention for within its boundaries
are situated some of the best mining
properties in the state, says the Star.
The Kramer Hill mines, now being
operated by l~easers, are fast being put
in shape for the production of bullion
In a comparatively short time a string
of teams will be hauling ore to the big
mill at Golconda, where it will be re-
lieved of its golden contents. The
~leasers have developed the properties
to the productive stage and in a short
for their efforts in the way of golden
bars.
The lodges on Kramer Hill are large
and carry high values in gold and
there is already enough ore in sight TO
keep a large mill running for years.
There are two parallel lodges on the
Kramer property, both of immense size,
that show vast quantities of milling
oie, besides the large amount of high
Grade rock that is being sacked as it is
taken from the veins-ore that glitters
with the yellow metal.
In the Gold Run Basin, another rich
portion of the district, much activity
is shown and many claims are being
worked with gratifying results.
In doing the annual assessment work
on the Goiconda Consolidated Mines
company s holdings the miners have
disclosed good ore, with values IN gold,
silver and lead.
The Kangaroo property has been in
eorporated and in a short time extern
sive development work win be com
menced there. There are a number of
lodges traversing the claims and where
disclosures have been made the ore
carries high values in gold.
Tom Major is still pushing the cross
from the bottom of the main incline
shaft on the Black Diamond. Consid-
lead-silver ore has been shipped
from this property.
