[ Special to TUB BKK , | Citizens of no ether Eoctlon of the west are moro deeply Inter ested In the outcome and future prospects of Oold Hill and ether outlying mining districts of Saratoga than Nobraskan1) . Hosldonts of Omaha and ether Nebraska cltlos and towns nro poculnarlly Interested In mining claims in ono or moro of the districts surrounding the Upper Platte v.\lloy and tributary to Saratoga. But as this section is comprised In the territory that is dependent on Omaha In a commercial and financial way , the Rroator trade and wealth hero developed will result in advantage and boncllt to Omaha. It may be simply a coincidence , or mayhap n tribute to the forethought and business ncutnon of Nebraskans , that nearly all the mining investments they have made hero have been In placers. That is the safest way to make money and the largest returns on the money Invested nro derived from gold xvash- intr. Of course whore bonanzas nro devel oped by the expenditure of small capital the profits ore big. But bonanzas nro by no moans so common now as In the days when the mining Industry in this country was In Its Infancy. Over on the continental divide , twenty miles west of Saratoga , nt the head of .lack crook , a company composed of Fremont , Arlington and Omaha men , xpont most of the season ] ust ended In getting ready for active and profitable placer mining that will bogln next spring. This company has already had n chance to sell out its properties at a handsome profit. It has wisely concluded to hold on to them. Aliule n Fortunate Alliance. the Gold Hill camp. Omaha people and capital have but recently become Interested. William H. Crary , the well known real estate operator of Omatm , nnd others who are iden- tillca with the city , IntMj acquired an Inter- cst in vnluablo pincers at Gold Hill. A com- liany will soon bo organized nnd incorporated to work thorn under the name of the Villotto Mining nnd Hydraulic company. Mr. Crnry and his associates were fortunate - nato in forming nn alliance with the Hopkins Bros , of Providence , R. I. , who have ono of the best stock ranches in the upper Platte valley. Besides other vnluablo property they own In the Gold Hill district , tlio Hopkins bovs hold valuable placer ground on Gold Run , that skirts Mineral nnd Enterprise hills , that have already become the scone of active operations by the Massachusetts syn dicate that has started out to develop the claims that passed Into the control of tbo Til- ton Mining and Development company. Ono of tbo placer claims owned by Hop- Iclns brothers , known ns the Bay State nnd comprising forty acres of ground that pros pects rich , has boon generally regarded as ono of the most promising properties of its class ever since the Gold Hill district was organized. Numerous propositions have boon nindo them to open up the ground for nn in terest In it. Those , ns well as offers to pur chase that were made by persons of specula tive Intent , have been declined. The owners were ntlsflcd to hold on to the Bay State , convinced that It would pay thorn hand somely to work it themselves. James J. Hopkins is now nt Gold Hill lookIng - Ing after work undertaken for the purpose of making un estimates us to tbo cost of a sys tem of development that has been mapped out. A contract for work has been lot and if the wo.ither permits , operations will continue this winter , so that an active campaign for u good clean-up on the Buy State can bo car ried out next season. Wlill big returns are insured on every in vestment of this sort that may bo made , be cause the Bay State fjrouiid prospects rich rnough to Justify an expectation of largo re turns , others than those who nro interested In the now company will bo indirectly bone- .titled through Ito operations. "What I'laoor IjaKo Promises. Gold Run heads up in the hills where the Jlluo Boll nnd other promising loads nro lo cated. Some of those claims will develop Into rich mines. Thoio is no doubt of that. At all seasons of the year there is n good- sized stream that flows down from this olo- * vntod ground. In the spring aim onrly sum mer It is swollen to n regular torrent , always emptying Into a natural reservoir , known ns Placer lake. This body of water covers an area of 11 ft con to twenty acres , all embraced within the limits of thti Buy Stnto placer. O'he outlet to Plncor lake is likewise called Gold Run , and its course , ns previously men tioned , lies between the hills that contain the Acme , Ijiiternriso and ether rich loads. The ere from those claims has nrovon valuable enough to warrant the erection of a stamp mill and ether machinery already ordered. U'ho wash as well ns drainage from those hills nil irons Into Gold Run. Below tbo Bav State is n chain of plaror claims extending down to where Gold Run empties Into South Brush creek and for a considerable distance below the Junction. 3v opening up'the ground of the Hopi'lns Bros. , the owners of claims lower down would bo encouraged by whatever good re sults wore obtained and the vuluo of the lirnpcrtles enhanced. It would be strange if sluicing of the Bay State crouiid docs not disclose cold nuggets ns well us rich pay dirt. One of its boun daries is the Wyoming claim , from which specimens of quartz studded and bound by frco nnd wire gold have bcon tnkon out that linvo excited the admiration of minors and stimulated prospecting nt Gold Hill fora year nnd moro. All the wash from the Wyoming has boon swept down onto or ucross the Bay State. Much of its golden freight has undoubtedly bcon deposited in the gravel or at the bottom of Plncor lake , ' .Vhls sheet of water Is banked up or hold In chock by n roof or rock or n natural barrier \\hlch , save at times of high water , would servo to act ns n ritllo to catch the gold , ground out of the rock that has boon riven from the capping of those treasure houses. Since the Wyoming lead has boon traced for moro than a milo to the Blue Boll ground , nlong the crest of the hills whoso drainage is ipto i'lacor lake , the Importance nnd worth Of tlio Bav Stnto is enhanced in popular esti mation , Aside from the lake , that is sup posed to have served as n catchment for dis lodged mineral , there are numerous burs on the claim that would have bcon profitable to work In any gold country , for the gravel pans well Himto Work tlio Kind. As tn thu exact method to bo pursued in Vorklng tno Bay State , it is too early to ; > oak of definite plans. It may be deter mined ns irost expedient to drain Placer lake nnd ground-sluice its bod. or the whole ground below the Inko "boomed , " ns it is railed , by snttllng free the water * of the natural reservoir nnd running the dirt throuh .sluice boxes. Hydrauhcklng Is contemplated , but that r.ystom will not bn resorted to until after the bed of the lake bus bcon worked at nnv rato. The ground below there could bo worked by n giant to good advantage for n tremendous pressure could be secured. There Is a fall to llold Run of more than NX ) feet in 1,500 nnd by husbanding such a force of water it would not bo long until tbo ground could bo thoroughly worked , In addition to the forty acres embraced by the Bay State , two other claims will bo con trolled by thn Villotto Mining nnd Hydraulic company. Quo of those of twenty acres Is at t ho north end of the Bay State and heads to - wards thu Blue Holt. The olher.also of twen ty acres. U ut the lower limits , below the lake on Gold Run , and Is especially valuable us a dumping ground. Work on the Bay Stnto Is calculated to stimulate development of other placer claims In the Gold Hill district , hundreds nnd oven thousands of acres havine boou staked out for such purposes. There Is no moro profita ble branch of mining than this. For good cause , capital 1s moro easily Interested In placer mining and moro money can bo com- Uinndixl for sunn work. In a recent issue of tbo Cosmopolitan mug- nzlnc was published an Intelligent Article on placer mining , treated from a prnctUnl nnd popular standpoint by Joseph P. Hood. Some observations by Mr. Reed are pertinent In this connection. Ho says : There are throa prims roniilMlc * forsuccoM- fill plucor intnttiii-ilrst. plenty of liny snivel ) second , nbnndnncoof water , and thiniiinplo ) diimpltu facilities for the lulling. Tlio richness of the ( Travel Is not as Impor tant as thn abundance of water , for with the latter almoit any aravol that contiliu cold can bo tnnil'j to tuy. The North Hloomniold company of California declared a dividend from cronnd that did not tivornun 3 cents to thnciiblo yard. This , turnover.

In point of fact , plnccr mining Is the sufi'it nnd nonrly alwavs tlio most prtHlt- nblo mining that can bo Invested In , for It Is always possible to thoroiuhlv prospect It by panning the gravel In all p.irttnf the ground , and It Is cumUly HO to doturnilno the amount of wnlort lint can bo depended unon. tlio pos sibilities of stor.iso , the catchment area and tlio dumping fnollltlosaftcrwhloh It l a mere ni'tltur of calculation ns lei tbo costof tlio prc- llmlnnrv work and the running expenses , the amount of gravel tlio supply of waturwlll wash dally and the richness of thu gravel washed.

Modern hydraulic mining Is carried on with such core and accuracy that the amount of goldlouln w.ishlm : Is hrudly to bo consUloird , while under the old style It was estimated always that from one-third to one-half tno line eold was carried olT In the tailings. Itc.siili of a Mill Hun. Members of thu Tlltori Milling and DC * volopment company nro elated ever the returns on a mill run on a ton of ore from the Acme claim that is ono of the thirty prop erties thov recently bought. As previously explained in Tun Bun , the Acme is where most of the development work will bo done by the company this winter and the property from which ere will bo taken out to supply the ten-stamp mill of the comnany , the machinery for which is now building. Mill runs on 1UO pounds of Acme ere have bcon made on n number of occasions nnd showed $ ) to $23 a ton In gold. This was Mattering , because the vein Is eight feet wide and while such ere would not pay to ship , It will make Its milling at uold Hill profitable.

COMING CONVKNT1ONS. i _ _ _ Important Meetings to Do Hold In Oinalit Next Year. Secretary of the Pan-Hopubllo congress , Hon. W. O. McDowell , has written Secre tary Nason of the Board of Trade , explaining the alms and objects of two important con ventions that will bo hold in this city next year. Mr. McDowell in his letter says : It gives mo great pleasure to notify you that the invitation extended to the Pan- Hopubliu congress organizing committee and the Human Freedom league to hold their next mooting In your city was accepted at the meeting hold in Independence hall , Phil adelphia , on October 12 lastdiscovory day. At this meeting wo also organized the Human Freedom league , and the Ilrst gath ering of that body will take place with our organizing committeeat Its meeting in Omaha April 10 , next. The writer was also elected n delegate from both those bodies to attend the Inter national-Peace congress which assembles in IJomo , Italy , on November Q , noxt. And ho is making every effort to fulfil this duty. Ho has also boon requested by the signers of the Siberian exile petition to present its paper bearing the signature of over 1,000,000 Americans to the Czar. These duties will occupy two months , and as ho will not have the tune to receive your answer and write you again before ho loaves , or to visit your city before going to Homo , ho takes thu lib erty of making the following suggestions a t this time in connection with the meeting of April next in Omaha. In the meeting held in Philadelphia , the special work that the committee had in hand was the adoption of the address tn all peoples. This was in the nature of a now Declaration of Independence , not for the peoples of the United States , but for the woild ; > not lor the Anglo Saxon race , but for all races ; not for man alone , but for women as well. The second work was the creation of the Human Freedom league. This was success fully accomplished , and thoieaftor public meo'tings were hold with a series of ad dresses , in which the commander of the Grand Army of the Republic and represent ative ofllcors of ether patriotic societies spoke for their societies and the cause of human fioodom. The repre sentatives of the different races and schools ot thought told the story of their people for the cause of human freedom. Ttioso ad dresses will shortly bo published and will bo 111 the hands of your citizens. At this same mooting the flag of peace was adopted , the account of which will bo sent you under sopornto cover and a committooap- pointcd to take up the idea suggested in the will of George Washington for tbo establish ment of u national university. Wo felt that it was peculiarly the duty of the men en gaged in this work that they should in augurate a great university with its doors always opoa to tbo student from every land , that the cause of frco institutions might bo continually advanced by intelligent men , educated in the intellectual atmosphere of a university that owed the suggestion of its existence to the father of his country. At Omuhn this committee will report. The place for the meeting and the date of the Pan Hopubllc Congress will bo tixod , the pro gress of the work toportod nnd future work planned this , the worn of the committee. The Human Freedom league will hold its first gathering at this time. To this gather ing will bo invited not only the members of the Pan Hopublla Congress committee , not only the contributors to the fund that erected the statue of Liberty Enlightening tno World , but the ranking ofllcer of every society In the United States whoso funda mental laws express belief In and devotion to the government of the people , by the people and for the people This will include the commander of every post of tbo Grand Army of the Republic , the captain of every Son of Voterun camp , the president of every state society of thu Sons of the American Revolution , the president of every Board of Trade , every peace society , every Society of Christian Endeavor , every woman's society , and kindred societies universally that now or shall between now nnd April 10 so amend their constitutions nnd by-laws as to proclaim their adhesion to free institutions. We take it for granted that if such n clatuo docs not exist in the fundamen tal laws of every fraternal society in Amer ica that it is merely an oversight nnd that they will at oaco so amend as to bo eligible to participation in this gathering. In ether words the Human Freedom league is in tended to hold to thu fraternal socie ties of the world , by the resolution passed In Independence hall , Philadelphia , croatlng It ttu same relationship that the United States occupies towards ( bo states. It Is the United States of Freedom. All of the differ ent points on which human beings may dif fer , such us creeds , special undertakingsetc. , are loft entirely to the societies , as certain special powers are loft by the general gov ernment to the states. But in the Human Freedom league they come together on the ( 'round in which they nro nil of ono accord and that is the belief in and adhesion to , so far as government Is concoinod , the principle that "tho voice of the people is the volco of God. " If this mooting so planned can bo brought about successfully on April lOuoxt , In Oma ha , It will bo the grandest gathering that the world has over soon , | f you can have a mootIng - Ing of your citizens atnnuaily dav , and In augurate the work , wo are satisfied that Omaha can make of the meeting u success oftt'liloh It will always be proud. Wo would suggest that special committees bo appointed from each of your fraternal societies that shall Join with us in Inviting the co-operation of the member * of kindred societies all over the land. For instance , appoint a committee of members of your Grand Army of Republic posts that shall Issue an Invitation accompa nied by our statement of the work of the Human Freedom league to every post of the Grand Army of the Republic In the United States asking them to tend their command ing olllcor to thu convention. Let the Grand Army of the Republic po t also Issue a llko invitation to the commander of every Con federate Veterans organization at the same tliuo , for oatho question cf adhesion tojcon. stltuttonal or popular government tneto or ganizations are enthusiastically partotlcnnd ! wo know that no class of visitors would re ceive a warmer welcome In Omaha than thoio ox-confodorAtos. Form n llko committee from among your Sons of Veterans , from nmong the S. A. H. , from among your socie ties of Christian Endeavor , nnd from nmong members of nil your ether fratonuil societies , Then lot the program bo ns follows : Wo lhid that April 10 , the date to which wo have adjourned , falls on Sunday. Let us Invtto the ministers throughout the world to preach that day from the loxt that was cast In the Llbnrty bell , Philadelphia , on the oc casion of Its recasting , "Ponce on earth , good will toward mon , " nnd make the subject of their sermons the progress that has boon made or U being made towards uni versal pcaco and fraternity from the stand point of papular government , wo nt the same time requesting that the members of nil fra ternity societies snail attend those different services in their own locality in n body and where the organization is uniformed In uni form , Then nt 10 n. m. on April 11 In the largest hall that can bo secured In your city , lot the delegates to the Human Freedom league assemble , adopt constitution and by laws , approve the action of their organizing committee , and plan out their work. When tl.oy adjourn , lot It bo to the same hour the following day. In the afternoon in a loss commodious hall or In the same place , lot the Pun Republic Congress committee assemble at 2 o'clock nnd attend to this work ndjournlng to the same hour the following day. In the ovcnlnu lotus have n public meeting with n series of addresses from our most emi nent men on subjects In line with our work. Already nn Invitation has boon extended by the committee to Hon. Andrew D. White of Ithaca , N Y. , to speak on "Pressing Prob lems for Komi biles to Solve. " Invitations to other eminent mon will soon bo Issued. In the addresses delivered , every part of our country should bo represented by nblo speak ers , and if an address can be secured from representative friends of freedom from other countries , they should bo very welcome. The evenings of Monday and Tuesday" could bo occupied with nubile meetings. Wednesday could bo made the social day nnd wo would sugpost that the Christian En deavor societies should especially entertain the Christian Endeavor delegates , the Grand Army of the Republic the Grand AriTty of the Republic Jdelegates , the colored citizens the colored delegates and so on through the list. This program is written hurriedly , when I nm pressed tor time in preparing for my trip to Rome aim is merely suggestive. By consulting with Colonel Chase , chair man of our committee on plan nnd scopo. also a member of our cxecutlvo committee who has been present nt all our meetings , you will bo able to obtain full particulars of our work ; and whatever changes or modifica tions your board mav make will , without doubt , meet with the approval of our execu tive committee.

As excitement in Chili promises abatement with the election of a president and the ro- ostablishmcnt of constitutional authority , revolution appears to bo breaking out in Bra/il , says the Chicago Herald. Tranquility - ity is not yet a characteristic of Latin A mor- ica. The strife in Guatemala is not ended ; a fortnight ago there was attempt at insurrec tion in Uruguay. The Argentine republic is now practically under British domination and political discord is certain to follow com mercial crises. Revolution in Brazil is for midable for both domestic and foreign rea sons ; and it will bo necessary for the govern ment of the United States to take prompt action for the dcfonso and protection of American property aud citizenship thero. It is nearly two years since tno "paternal emperor , " Dom Pedro , was suddenly and dramatically dethroned and hustled out of the country with an allowance mat has maintained him in stalein Paris , where ho has taken up permanent abode. His coerced abdication made the way easier for the proclamation of a republic , conforming in abstraction closely to tint of the Llnited States of America. Twoiity-ono states constitute the United States of Brazil. The limitations of state and fodeial powers is modeled on ours ; but there nro elements ot weakness in both the imitation and the modi fication of the model. Senators uro elected for nine years , three from each state , one- third going out every three years. The house of representatives consists of 203 mon , elected for ihreo years on n unit population basis of 70.00J. Illiterates , soldiers , monkb nnd paupurs cannot voto. Manhood suffrage prevails. Congress meets unnuallv in May and sits four months , but the ptcsiTiont , who has vote on legislation , can pioro uo u. The revolution now apparently under way Is duo to the same causes that precimtalo'd that In Chill intorlorenco by British com mercial Interests in the politics of the coun try provoking collision between congress and the executive. The president , General Da Fonseca , was a popular favorite at the down fall of thu paternal monarch and had much to ' do with hu'rrying Dom Pedro , under guard , out of the country us tbo only moans of sav ing his life. Choben president by electors corresponding to our electoral college , he speedily became involved In complications arising out of the accumulated Interest debt on British loans and the greed of British trade , which is as deeply Intrenched in Brazil ns In uny ether South or Central American country. . Hostility between congress - gross nnd Da Fonseca was easily fanned until what either proposed the other was certain to opposo. The president used his vote so vigorously that congress , fearing usurption of dictntoriul powers , passed a law for impeachment should tn.it become neces " sary. "He vetoed the law , which congress passed over the voto. Then ho prorouged rongioss , assumed dictatorship , and revolu tion is the result. The presidential term in Brazil is for six years , tno incumbent being ineligible for re election. Tbis departure from our organic structure does not accomplish the good ono- tormora have claimed for it if it should become como part of our system. It is almost gen eral in the Latin American republic * ; yet many of their revolutions hive been duo to the scheming of the president to name his successor. This was ono of the charges against Balmaceda , whoio term was In fact almost ovor. It is now alleged against Da Fonsoca , who , an invalid during most of his term , was occupied , it is claimed , with se lecting his successor before resigning , as It was the prevalent desire ho should do , on ac count of physical Inability to perform his duties In a manner satis-factory to the pee ple. It Is probable tliu * uo saw in the con gressional enactment for impeach ment not mernly n prudent but iin- porsoaal national safeguard , but n project aimed nt himself , nnd , now that no bus dis missed the legislature , ho will bo placed In the same apparent unconstitutional at titude in .which the Junta put Balmncoun for proroguing it instead ot permitting it to legislate. Should the revolution spread it will not bo oabily quelled Manv of the states have been dissatisfied with tbo federal relationship. In some there will bo eager attempts to with draw and erect Independent communities. Others will seek alliance with contiguous governments , The mixed character of the population will nggrnvnto all conditions , civil nnd military In the northern provinces the Indian element is proud , resentful and pow erful. Negroes preponderate in many of tun largo cities. The commercial world is almost wholly foreign , chiefly British , and the first dispatches claim that they are thu instigators of the revolution , ns they certainly woio In Chill , and for the sumo reason the promo tion of their own control of the country. There Is nn nrmv of10,000 , a largo nnd well equipped navy , with ltOOJ ofllcors and men and ilvo naval arsenals.

Organizations llko our own which provide the required security and which nro con- ductoa on a purely business basis , are mufti- piyliiK rapidly. There Is a crjat amount of this sort of business to bo done and the Hold for Investment Is therefore inviting. Charles Francis Adams and Frederick L. Amos ot Bojton , are stockholders in our company. There is practically no risk involved and the returns on the Investments uro therefore certain , the amount , of course , depending on the amount of business wo no. "When , for instance , a man Is appointed administrator of un ostnto and is required to give a bond wo become his bondsmen , that Is , wo sectiro to the parties Interested the proper administration of the estate.
