Notes From the White Oaks Mines

White Oaks and surrounding
camps are not lying idle this win
ter, but work is progressing as us
ual. On the Solitaire vein, North
Homestake mine, the shaft is 100
feet deep with a level at fifty and
one at the bottom of the shaft.
The levels have been run some fifty
feet. There have been about $50
tons of ore already taken from the
workings and milled, which have
averaged about $15 per ton, which
is about so per cent, oftne amount
the ore carries. Our mills have
nothing but plates to catch the
gold, and there is a great deal of
iron in our quartz which keeps SO
much Of the gold from being free.
This remedy could easily be rene
died by anal gamating pans, con-
centrators, ETC., yet all our mill en-
terprises have been handled by
men with no mining or milling ex-
perience, and the camp has to be
at the expense of educating them
Ore taken from the two Home
stakes and Ritat mines, after pay
ing expense of mining, milling and
other expenses, will yield to the
mine owners from IS to $40 per
ton besides the amount remaining
in tailings. This result has been
obtained the past four months, and
over Sc, on in gold bullion has
been shipped, winch is the first
output.
The Old Abe mine is being work
ed with one shift, and the result SO
far is very promising. They are
drifting into the hill, following the
quartz. There is considerable Wis.
lille gold and some very fine spec
linens. The work on this mine is
to be determined whether it is a
deposit or vein.
j. E. Wilson discovered a fine
quartz lode on Silver Cliff mine in
doing assessment work. This
claim was located in 1879 and this
is the first discovery.
All the prospectors up to last
July looked for north and south
leads, and they looked for porphy-
ry and quartz, while the lodes are
quartz with granite walls. This
fact alone has retarded the camp
more than all other causes com
bined. S. II. G..

Now that the public hall is near
ly completed, we hear it whispered
around that the same company will
soon tackle the hotel question, and
will probably erect a good substan-
tial hotel. That is something that
White Oaks needs, and we hope
those enterprising gentlemen who
have started in 70 build up the pub
lie interest of the town, will devote
their attention to this matter at an
early date.

He was born in Salzburg, May IS, 1910.
As pupil in the studio OF Piloty, in
Munich, he manifested remarkable
ability, and in time surpassed his mas
ter. In 1866 he exhibited his
ilrst picture. Its subject was a
sleeping man embraced by a nymph,
and was treated with the remarkable
brilliancy Of cOloring, which character
lied all Makart's work. His second
picture was "Modern Cupids," and this,
associated with the striking characters
tics of the first, which il surpassed in
general Xcel.ence, gave the artist celeb
rity. "Roman Ruins" was exhibited at
the Paris exhibition Of 1867, and en-
HANGED Makart's reputation. The finan-
cial gain resulting from these successes
was augmented by large earnings he
made for decorating the dining-rC0m of

why Desert when the Tieht I. vorq


The arguments used by the Republi-
cans to induce Irish-Amerlcans TO desert
the Democratic party are answered in
one question: Why should we leave
our party now that its hour of victory
has come?
Nv hat has the Democratic party done
for lrish-Americans," asks one of those
who have gone over to the Republicans.
II 1t Is meant, what office has IL given
them, the answer is obvious: 4 party
that Is not in power has no offices TO
give. Az least, let the Democratic party
have chance to prove itself.
The Republican party has been in
power for over twenty years, and it has
excluded lrishAmericans from every
public Office and honor that it could,
both In tho state and the federal gov
ernments. Now the time has come for
the democratic marty TO take the reins,
and Irish Americans have, al least, a
lair show Of public recognition. The Re-
publicans, however, turn to them, as a
drowning man clutches at straw, and
say; dessert your party and come To
our aid. Keep US in office, and we will
be your friends"
Do the Republicans think that the
lrish-Americans are fools as well as trai-
tors? If we are to depend on promises,
we will tako the word of the party Ia
which we have been loyal, rather than
the party which has been disloyal aud
inimical TO us. Why should we leave
the Democratic party when the blect for
which we have worked for twenty years
y within our reach. To oblige the
Republicans2 To make that man pres-
dent who as secretary of state, congress-
man, local partisan, has been the par
ticular Republican against whom we
have the deepest grudge? Nonsense!
Irish. Americans are going to vote rs
they have voted since the WARRIOR the
party which has been true 10 them i'm
principle, and which will bo true to them
IN its power and practice, remembering
their loyalty in the days Of its defeat,
