KNOCK the knockers good and hard.
They are doing this region infinite harm
and every one of them has a selfish object
in view.
OH AL the fields of human
none are affected so little by politics as
gold mining. This doubtless accounts for
the general apathy over the approaching
flection In eastern Oregon. Not so, how
ever, with the silver camps In Idaho.
There the hope has been aroused that
mines abandoned for a dnen years may
tesume operations and the former lite and
activity be revived.
SHIPMENTS of mining machinery to
South Africa have bsen resumed from
Chicago, says a lecent press dispatch.
Thousands of dollars worth of machinery
which could not be delivered on account of
the Hoer war is now going forward. One
of the members of an iron firm, in speak
log of the presents prospects in South Af
rica said: "Orders from that country are
coming In again and the indications are
that the Transvaal will soon enter on an
era of prosperity such as it has ueven
known belore. We are already crowded
with orders and the plant is running toils
uncapacity."
ADVICES received at Seattle from Kn
diak, Alaska, tell ol a series ot earth
quakes which were felt in that place on
October o. The trembling began at 2:2s
a. m. and lasted at Intervals for six hours.
Much damage was done to property, and
one life was lost. At Karluk, 00 miles
Iroin Kodiak, the bark Heron, loading sal
mon for San Francisco, broke from her
moorings and was driven ashore in the
lierce storm which accompanied the earth
uake. One sailor was drowned and the
urgo, consisting of 12,500 cases of salmon,
was lost. The first shock felt at Kndi.ik
created havoc in the stores of that place.
At Wood Island, the North American
company lost a quantity ol breakable
goods. The sharl at that place was also
destroyed.
AND now the democratic partisan press
and stump spe.tkrrs are noisily declaring
that if McKluley is cleited, our republican ,
turin of government w 111 be superseded by
a monarchy. The republican papeis and
speakers ale swearing that II Bryan is
elected, the business and industrial Inter
ests of this country will go speedily to
hell figuratively speaking. Both state
ments are false and libelous. No iii.in

such rediculous ghost stories Mill be re-1

THE gold Cyanide sampling Works in
this citv haip been .-luseit al thp older nl
the American Smelling & Refining com-'
pany, and now, unless an independent
sampler of this iharacter is established i
here, all the cyanides from the mil's ol
this western country will of necessity
have to be sent east for sampling before
the producer can expect any returns what
ever. This sampler, which was the most
extensive and complete of any similar
works to be found In the United States,
has already been a great convenience to
the mining men of the west employing the
cyanide process of ore reduction, and its
removal will be sincerely regretted by
them. It is understood that local enter
prise is figuring on the advisability of es
tablishing an independent sampler to suc
ceed the old one, and It is t) be hoped that
the project will be successfully carried out.
Salt Lake Mining Review.
OVER in Idaho where the dear ladles
are given a chance to "elevate the elective
franchise," they are engaging In the game
of kindergarten political jobbery them-
selves. The Boise Statesman says:
"Some of the democratic ladles are prov
ing themselves adepts. Thev discourage
j republican women from registering, de
endeavor, daring that they will be subject to jury
duty. These democratic emissaries will
all be registered, and they will all vote.
No woman need be worried about jury
duty. There is little doubt that they are
exempt tinder the law, but, If they are not,
boards of county commissioners are not
going to draw women for jurors. There
has been a little of that done, but It will
be dropped everywhere. Every woman
should register and vote, and republican
women should be careful to see that It is
not confined to those of the democratic
persuation." .
