Silver Voters, Wake Up.
We again call the attention of
Democrats and reformers generally !
to the importance of attending the 1
! primary elections on Saturday the
1st of September. The success of
the party depends greatly upon the !
character of the men you select for j
delegates to the nominating oonven
tion. They should be men with j
clean hands and good record—who
will not he influenced by the Steu
nenberg rule or-ruin element that is
already planning to capture the
! Rocky Rar convention for the pur
pose of placing upon the legislative
ticket men who, if elected, would
smilingly ignore the acts of the Po
catello Democratic State Conven
tion relative to the election of a
United States Senator.
Democrats—we mean silver dem
ocrats, not goldbug democrats—be
on your guard and see that no
doubtful man is sent to Rocky Rar
to put up a democratic legislative
ticket in the interest of George L.
Shoup. It is not the open enemy
you must watch; it is the snake in
the grass, the pretender, the de
ceiver, the ass in the lion's skin,
who goes among the people ostensi
bly as an advocate of a principle
but really in opposition to that
principle, nnd withal probably in
the employ and pay of the Ilanna
iies. Those are the kind of fellows
to look after.
There will probably he no Populist
ticket in the field in Elmore county
this fall, neither will there he a
Silver Republican ticket. There
fore we earnestly hope all free silver
men and women and reformers gen
erally who have at heart the welfare
of the nation, state and county, and
are willing to take the test that
they "will vote the Democratic
ticket at the next election," will at
tend the primary elections and cast
their ballots in a good cause.

many of our people. He writes as
follows:
Chicaoo, Aug 8, 1900.
G. M. Payne, Mountain Home,
Idaho—Dear Sir: In looking over
a recent issue of the Elmore County
Republican I see that some one
from Salt Lake has been going
through your county offering to bet
all kinds of money that McKinley
would succeed himself as president
and could find no takers. This is
an old Republican bluff and don't
go very far in these eastern states.
1 inclose an item which speaks for
itself, from a Wisconsin paper, and
I hope you will print it in your
good old Democratic Bulletin, and
tell your Hannaites that if they
want to place their money "out of
sight" to Send it back here and they
can have all the fun they want un
til next November. A Bryan land
slide has commenced here that will
end in canving him into the White
House on top of the biggest ava
lanche of votes ever known.
I do love to sit down and read
your paper each week, and I wish
there were more of your kind po
litically.
I shall be in Idaho some time in
September, when I hope to meet
you. Respectfully yours,
W. H. McDougall.

As we understand, this is a reor
ganization of the Gold King pro
perty at Dixie, with a capital stock
of ip 1,000,000, divided into 500,(XX)
shares, and it is proposed to put on
the market 100,(XX) shares at 25
cents per share. The fund raised
from this source is to lx* applied to
sinking the shaft 300 feet deeper,
which will make it a depth of 600
feet. Atter this depth is attained
and should the developments jus
j tify it, a tunnel will be run from
the South Roise river a distance of
3500 feet, which wiH tap the vein
ftt depth of about , ^ {eet
The Crown Point is without
doubt a splendid property. Good
ore is in sight from the top down.
At the present lowest depth—300
feet —there is 16 feet of ore, 8 feet of
which, lying next to the foot-wall,
yields $i6.00 to the ton and the
other 8 feet from $4 to $7 per ton.
The stock of this company at. the
low price of 25 cents per share
should and doubtless will "go like

interests near Mountain Home and

success staring them in the face,
will eagerly seek a few hundred
