The nomination of Judge Parker
for president by tho democratic parly
Is a victory for the gold standard,
conservative wing of that party as op
posed to the liryan element which
controlled iu 18'JO aud l'.HK). In the
latu convention, W. J. ilryan was
cheered by tho galleries, but his word
had little weight with the conven
tion. In the closing hours of the
meeting when the excitement was
high, tho convention being iu debate
on Judge Parker's sound money tele
gram, liryan was snubbed mercilessly
by several of the deleagtea. '
In the past two weeks wo have had

The city council, at its last meet
iug, refused to renew the saloou
license of Henry Waltir of tho Oregon
saloon. Heretofore, when a saloon
man gvo a satisfactory bond and
presented bis money the . license has
been Issued. The present council re
quires a stricter observance of the re
strictions and demands of tho city
law in regard to the saloon business
and this action of the council is an
example by which the other saloon
men of the city have not been slow
to prollt. The council are endeavor
ing to keep the saloon business of
Cirauls Pass up to the standard of de
cency which the law requires.
A telegram from Judge Parker,
declaring iu favor of t'.e gold stand
ard, caused quite a flurry In the dem
ocratio national convention. No
money plank hud been inserted iu the
democratic platfoiui, its omission
bulug made iu tho interests of har
mony, a the two wings of the party
ulncr so widely 011 this question that
a declarat'on ill favor of tho gold
standard or free silver would In nil
likelihood cause a split in the parly
ranks. Tho convention, after some
debate, sent a telegr.im to Parker
saying that, as the platturm nas silent
ou the subject, there was no good
reason why a gold slaudaid man
should uot accept the nomination
Ilryan declared that the telegram from
the convention was equivalent to a
declaration for the gold standard, but
lie was frowned down and the message
tent us the ollicial utterance of the
convention.

U Williams Hue Valuable
Property on Tanana.
Geo. IJ. Williams has rnjoiued hi
I family in this city, after an absence
of several years iu Alaska, where he
: has been prospecting 'and mining,
The latter portion of the time ho has
spent in tho new gold fields of the
' Tanana, where bo lias a valuah
j property. Tho Tiiimna is a larite
1 tributary of tho Yukon, com in a in
some 700 miles below Dawson. Tho
i anlil fields are located some 2r,0 mlh
up tho Tanana from the mouth,
As
1 yet
the oHratious are all in placer
uud the method of working is some
what slow. Some efforts have been
made to uss hydraulic plants but as
yet without success. The principal
troo'de lias been with the ditches.
The country is covered with moss and
below that is frozen U'.nck. When the
ditch Is dug the muck is exposed to
the air, thaws, and rues almost like
water. Mr. Williams thinks hy
draulics might be profitably worked if
the water were carried in flumes or
pipes.
In midsummer on the Tanana they
have 11.1 hours of suiHiino and tho sun
rises and sets in the north. Pro vis
ions average about $1 a pound. Flour
this year is fllli per hundred.. Last
year it was t'lfl.
Mr. Williams will probably remain
iu Southern Oregon, unless he finds it
necessary to return Iu order to look
after his property.

HOW DOES A MINE LOOK
You Cannot Decide Before You
Find It.
The prospector who starts out on
his quest for a mine with fixed idea
of bow his mine mast look is likely
to be dbaf pointed. The secret of
successful prospecting lies iu casting
aside all preconceived' notious and to
overlook nothing. A few years ago
no prospector believed that gold or
silver ore woe Id be found in a dike.
Now it ii known that many dikes
carry valuable ores of gold, silver and
copper. Many still think that it is
useless to look in limestone for a gold
mine. The fact is there are uumeror.s
valuable gold mines In limestone,
aud not infrequently limestone or
marble contain paying gold. That
any particular formation or combina
tion of formation is utcesasry to
the occurrence of good ore is another
fallacy. The (Id miner's expression
"gold is where yon find it" Is a
truism that no prospector can afford
to forget As a rale large white
qnartz cropplugs do not carry payable
values, though there are important
except ions. One of the best indica
tions of a permanent and valuable
vein is a soft, decomposed and
mineral-stained country rock along
the coarse of the vein, no matter
what the character of the rock. The
outcrop accompanying reins, large
and small, which become great pro
ducers of g.ild, silver, copper, lead
and other minerals, usually shows ex
tensive mineralization of the country
rock along the course of the vein,
and generally the rock lias become
softened by the decomposition which
has taken place at and near the sur
face The char icterlstio featuies are
brown or red iron oxides, soft gioond,
and honeycombed qoarta. Green
stones (diorlte, diabase, etc..) are
altered to soft yellowish browu rock
which can bo easily picked. Black
slates are bleached uearly white or
light yellow, sometimes are stained
brown or even red, aud are soft and
asily picked. Schists become brown
01 red. Audusites often show kaoliui
nation as well as stains of I on oxide.
Black oxide nf mauganese and iron
oxides are the most common signs of
the vein proper, as well as the masses
of ferruginous qaarlz. The prospector
should be able to recognize an ontcrop
when lie sees one, but such is uot
always the case. Iu oue instance two
meu, who discovered valuable mine,
wero placer mining below it, aud sat
ou tho outcrop of their vein to eat
their lunch for several weeks before
discovering that tho rock was rich in
gold. Mining and cieatillo Press.
