furnishc: the following items of interest
concerning the new mines:
Dream gulch is still the. banner dust
producer of the camp. The clean up on
Wt-dnesday of last week netted 52oz.,
and last Saturday, after two days run
with the new hydraulic, the clear: up
proud uced over 1900. Nins men are
employed on the day shift and nine on
the night shift. AfteMhe tirst clean up
it was . predicted by tlje croakers, that
the gukh would bo "spotted," but the
results do not realize the prediction.
The'owners are now developing the ledge
which was uncovered two weeks since,
and good gld prospects are obtained
from the quartz as . far as prospected.
Thursday's clean up vas sixty ounce?.
Water has failed, so the boys have to
stop hydraulicing, but they are bound
to have water at any co?t, s nd com
menced to chty purvey for a ditch, P.ri!
expect to have it completed and a good
head of watei running in ten days.
The Margaret quartz mine, on the
north fork of F.agls creek, eight miles
above town, located April 12, by Dr. W.
Lang Chapman, of Portland, Or. shows
a fo'ir foot lede whioh asars as follows:
Xo. by Chambers ik lin:mons, of Ea-
ml '
gle, 55 in silver, 51 in gold ; No. 2, 77
07- silver, 2 oz. gold ; No. 3, by J. II.
Fisk of Ponland, $104.30 in silver. The
ore is of the vellow chloride variety, and
the ledge shows up with a solidity that
indicates depth. Four men are employed
in the .work of development, f-ince the
above was put iu iype v.-e learn that the
Margaret has been bonded to Portland
parties for $.T?.000.
Last week a shipment of 200 ounces
of goli dust every dollar of it the pro
duct of Prit chard creek was made from
Eade citv to a bank at Helena, Mon
tana. The carrier left here with the
dust securely packed iu a canvas and
stowed in a gum boot slung over his
shoulder. Jack Envight and Wyatt Earp
escorted him over the trail to the nil
road at Trovt rreek.
Bedrock wni reached c:i Buckskin
gulch la.t week at aulepth of thirty ftetjj
and at this depth the gravel prospects
$1.00 per pan. The owners are rushing
work to develop the claim. Buckskin
is the dividing gulch between d.eur
d'Alcne atid Summit districts.
Claim No. 4, on Oregon gulch, reached
bedrock at a depth of seven fett, going
through a pay streak which averages
fifteen cents to the pan. The gulch has
plenty of water and a good dump, and J
will be heard from iu a few days whe-ni
the boys get started. ; '
A small tributary of Trail creek, on
the Reaver creek side of the divide be
tween Fricharu and Eagle creek, is pan
ning out at the rate of ?14 per day to
the man. How is that for the blow-hard
croakers who say there "s no gold in the
Cceur d'Alene.
The Buckskin gulch boys who have
worked so long and patient to test their
claims now have their sluice boxes in,
and good pay prospects ahead to replen
ish their empty purses.
C. Ifolman brought down last week
five ounces and some dwts. of very line
quality gold, taken from the Wolf claim
which corners on the South end of the
Widow. ,
Lumber dropped to 75 per 1000 this
week.
Kdsey Bros, of Centralia, show true
miner's grit in persevering in their ef
forts to strike gold in the mountain near
Centralia. For four years they have
been tunneling at difl'erent times, and
now thev have about 1400 feet of tun

PV MRS. UODKIM.
There is a Constitution, known to all
meii and women of America as the em
bodiment of the grandest and most lofty
principles that have evtr been penned by
the hand of man.. That this Constitutin
might be left to America's children as
their royal heritage, millions of souls have
been offered as a sacrifice, thousands of
gallons of heroic blood have been spilled
and hundreds of homes made desolate,
save for the breaking heart, of mothers,
wives and cjatcra and the waitings of
orphaned childhood. That we might
bear the banner of I independence , and
wear the rowrt of Liberty and sing the
song of Freedom our foixfathers have
faced unflinchingly the cannon ball,' the
prison house, starvation and almost cer
tain death faced every horror tliat fol
lows twar : and for them it was made
doubly horrible because it -was brought
about by people of one nation, men of
common blood and heritage with them
selves. By the valor of those noble
ancesters we have been freed from the
oppression of a monarchical tyrant, and
speaking for the coming generations, as
well as for themselves, they vowed to
guard with jealous care the honor, the
independence, the freedom of America.
And the men and women of our country
have told us that they were not false
prophets, for have we not given to every
native-born as well as to evex-y naturalized
boy, the rights and scepter of a sover
eign ; We fcavo given them indepen
dence1, but have we given them freedom 1
Have we truly said that the framers of
our constitution were not false prophets 1
Were war to be declared agaihst Amer
ica by foreign power, immediately our
American manhood wo'AlJ osert its
rights, and as one being march forth to
protect by fire and sword the country
that they loved ; and, being assured
that they would battle, for home and na
tive land asrainst the invasion of a for
eign foe, I am lost in the meshes of be
wilderment when I realize that "they re
fuse to unite with the women of their
land against a home tyrant, a fiend that
is usurping their rights, undermining
their country's safety and educating our
youth in the way of dishonor, immor
ality and cowardice, transforming the
boys of our homes into moral and physi
cal wrecks. " This deadly foe has as
sumed the guise of Pleasure, and, wreath
ing itself in roses, has blossomed anc
thriven, and, Stretching out the ten
drils weighted with fragrant buds, has
touched the hands of our young men,
and enticing them by its beauty and per
fume, made them to feel that not only
the buds bet tho roses -were to be had .
for the plucking. Little by little the !
tendrils have entwined them, and, after
clasping them closely, closely to its mesh
es, reveal to their unsuspecting gaze the
thorns that have been kept carefully con
cealed. What avails it then that the
victim wails and struggles against its
m:g' 1 1 Deeper and dVepei' press the
thorn, cruelly and more cruelly flows the
blood, until one day the grave closes over
a wrecked manhood, and iu the Book of
Justice one more murder is recorded
against the fiend, Intemperance.
Oil, men of America ! do you realize
the hold this curse has upon our coun-J
try? Do ycu ever ponder upon the
devastation that is caused by fhe crav
ing of alcohlolic stimulants ? If you do,
how can you sit quietly by and see the
mothers of our laud raising alone their
voices in this cry for prohibition 1 "Where
is your boasted independence, where
your royal heritage of freedom 1 Why,
is your moral courage so weak that you
clare not raise your voice, and, with us,
shout " Down with the tyrant V Puri
fy our homes and elevate our manhood.
You would not allow a shipwrecked
mariner to struggle unaided against the
current .of the ocean, whilo you not only
allow but license tneu to cast our noble
boys, our nation's hope,' upon the sea of
intemperance, and, seeing them adrift
upon this barque of iniquity, tttrn a deaf
ear to the waitings and teara of tlieir
mothers. You would not throw to them
a rope where with to reach their homes.
You might injure your prospects there
by. Oh, the pity of it, I say. Oh, the
pity of it ! That an American loyal
heart throbs but with t he consent of
this monster of degradation ! Allowing
that your voice raised in opposition to
this mighty traffic be temporarily injuri
ous to your prospects, financially or po
litically, should'tMs consideration weigh
i'n the balance 'with the temporal or
moral welfare of yout children or of our
nation. Give to the women of America
husbands and sons of morality, honesty
and integrity in prefereivcw to a pocket
lined with gold and a soul iull of foul j
weeds. Am! this heritage cf evil will j
bo their common lot, just as long as you
continue to license these easy chairs of
Satan, these saloons where a'.clic stim
ulants 'arc passe'e! over to our boys, pois

bite of the most venomous snake.

Alcohol is d pvlion; there is no doubt
about it. This" (act has been proven by
the most learnetf physicians of our own
and past ages. They have proven to us
that alcohol in ila pure state is detract
ive to the human system, because it de
stroys the tender linings and coatings of
the stomach: it irritates, burns, inflames
and congests these membranes by forc
ing them to unusual activity in order
that they may throw off thi3 poison.
Think of a human being taking into his
stomach a liquid that is strong enough
to dissolve sulphur, iodine, ammonia,
potash, camphor, resin,' and all organic
vegetable alkalis. Wo might just as
well drink nitric acid, or sulphuric acid,
or chloroform, or the oil of vitriol,' or
kerosene, or any other deadly poison.
And who will dare assert that man in a
normal condition craves one poison more
than the other. Dr. Rudclph Masing,
one of the ablest physicians of Germany,
haSjprep&recl a new test for alcohol. It
i3 this: Tot a solution of bi-chro:nate of
1 ...
potash and sulphuric acid into a glass
tube, leaving one end of the tube open.
The color of this solution is red, but a
very little alcohol will turn it emerald
green. Sober men breathed into it, but
their breath had no effect ; A drunken
man breathed into il. aijet it it:jstantly
turned green. Young ladies should keep
this test tube, and if their lover's breath
turns it green tell him you cannot ap
preciate his color, and inake him wait
until he ripens. If pure alcohol, as has
been proved to us-, is a deadly poison,
what then shall we say of the mixtures
that are passed to our men as refreshing
beverages and aids to digestion ? The
imbecility of arguing that alcohol
is an ail to digestion is apparent
to any and every one .who understands
the composition of the human body.
Anything that destroys the juicies tiiat
carry on the "work of desolving food
and this is what alcohol does, as thous
ands of physicians will testify is goiug.
to be detrimental to the digestive organs
and when these, organs are impaired your
whole system is affected very strongly.
To keep these organs "healthy we must
partake of nature's food while it is in a
fresh or preserved condition. You would
not eat decayed or rotten meat j why,
then, will yoju drink sotteii grain or
fruit wjiter 1 Dr. Henry Monroe, of Hull
Medical College, England, .says: 44 Alco
hol is nowhero to lie found in any prod
uct of nature ; was never created by God,
but is essentially an artitical thing, pre
pared by man through the destructive
process of fermentation." There you
have it jj. black aid white a rotten
water ; and noi only a voLten water but
a poisoned water as well. Dealers have
found it to their advantage, financially
to adulterate this liquid with poisonous
ingredients, and these are what chemical
analysis has found therein ; strychnine,
stramonium, belladonna, tobacco, coccu
lus and opium. Kow, as the. action of
all these organic alkalis upon the system
is very similar io alcohol, Vou will find
the result anything but pleasant to con
template. Three cents worth of strych
nine added to a callon of water and this
decoction added tt three gallons of whis
key is what is sold to every one as first
class, pure whiskey. Isn't that. a lovely
mess to pour hi to your stomach? If I were
to give a dinner party and mix the bread
that was to be partaken of on that day,
with three or even one cent's worth of
strychnine, wouldn't there be a hue and
cry raised and the news telegraphed fiom
one end of the country to the other 1
Alii all manner cf . iinpreratiovs wculd
be heaped upon my head. I've no doubt
they would go so far as to say. "That's
woman's rights for you." But I supposo
there is a material difference between
my inviting you to partake of the poi
son and your having the pleasure of pay
ing ten cents a glass for drinking it. Oh,
thvi fol'y of it, gentlemeh ; the folly of
it ! How can you be so blind to the
welfare of cr country as to allow this
monster to thrive and spread ruin in
our midst. Help us l our efforts to
gain prohibition, and after we have
bound them by the law so that they dare
not sell liqur by the glass, then will fol
io w a law forbidding them to sell it by
bottle or the gallon. This has been
done in the city of Monmouth, New
York. In the days of prohibition it was
a matter of complaint that the law al
lowed the selling of liquor by the bottle,
consequently this sale was forbidden
After the 81,000 license cava 8 into ef
fectsaloons were very urgent that string
ent measures be employed to debar this
sale, and now that prohibition has again
succeed high license, they are left to
struggle against the iron cords with
which they havo bound themselves:
Men fought to free tho people
From the chains that Kngland forged,
They fought aKasther tyranny
Till with blood they dyed our shore.
"Independence" was their watchword.
