a solitary sentinel shall stand guard,
waiting until the bugle call from be-
yond shall muster out the last COM

Wildcats and Trout
(Hyder Miner l

tHyder Mner.)
 You cant get except in vein, any mora than you can get trout except in trout stream
 Hold on,' we hear remark, "how about catching trout in lakes?'
 Very well. we will admit the contention, and sub init that ore is also sometimes found in deposits such as those occurring in the Granby mine AnyoX where map of the orebodes look like the picture of huge hill of potatoes. But for the sake of argument let's let the first statement stand.
 Listen to the meowing of the wild-catter:
 Bill Jones has fine showing of Our property is only mile from Bill Jones. therefore have just as good chance to strike Bill had.
 He might just well say: Bill Jones caught d ne mess of trout in Cascade creek We have property only mile away from Cascade creek therefore we have just as good chance to catch fine as Bill had
 than most of the wildcatter's statements
 Trouble fs the public in general is ignorant than the wildcatter on the subject of mining.
 The public schools teach all sorts of useless stuff examining the innocent pupils heads with lot of rot that will be of no more to them than the Golden Rule to a wildcatter If the wise fools who dictate what the rising generation shall study, were not to. tally ignorant themselves. they would provide simple course on mineralogy in the public schools It. besides forifyng themselves against being victim The subject is fascinating and the pupils would enjoy iSed Tn later years by the wildcatter.

WOOD STRONGEST IN FIELD AND JOHNSON
 GROWS DESPERATE

stop the nomination of Wood and Lowden I is none of the dark horses are develop ing. The possible candidate outside of the big three remains as shadowy and uncertain as at first. Consideration goes l up and down the list and stops nowhere i Real indication of favor by Johnson. and Borah for anyone of these possibilities, whether Sproul or Hughes, would change I the whole situation.
 Johnson has, in the last few days, l slipped back into the place which every one expects him to occupy He has now chiefly veto upon the convention, and perhaps the strength to name the man who will be nominated if he does it soon enough.
 l Borah evidently intends to play now in Chicago the role Bryan played at Baltimore. He said yesterday he did not intend to second the nomination of John son. but to save his lungs for a later occasion when his words might do more good He expects to seek recognition
 during the balloting if necessary. And he expects to obtain it. If there Is dan ger that Wood or Lowden will be nomi- mated he expects to denounce their nomi-
 nation and tell the convention that it Is heading the party for defeat. A Borafl speech on the campaign expenditures is
  there are any. want to avoid The convention on the day of it's meet ing still revolyes around the three lead ing candidates. Their elimination has not yet been accomplished, no matter how much it was desired.
 The dark horse talk has led to nothing. The Wood movement boomed yesterday on claims of potential support in New York and Pennsylvania, and on evidence that the New Jersey, Minnesota and South Dakota Wood delegates meant to stand firm. The firmness of the Wood and Lowden delegation must not be taken so seriously It is like the gim- ness of the Poindexter and Sproul delega- ticns. The delegates don't want to go adrift in the convention; they want some thing to tie to.
 The Michigan delegation is case in point. It is made up largely of anti Johnson men instructed for Johnson. It is now talking of adopting the unit rule 1 to prevent the delegation scattering and wasting it's Influence. The Wood man agers, trying to counteract the Lowden l talk of the last few days, put out claims ! of 400 votes on the third ballot. But it l all depends the capacity of the con- vention to find some other candidate than l one of the big three.
 There is much to be said for the Wood 1 claims. He is. as already set forth in this | correspondence, the leading candidate of /! the convention.
