Tho Copper Belle.

Inc copper Belle company furnishes
good illustration of what can be accom-
plished by company of live, active men
when they go to work to develop q mine.
In conversation with an INDEPENDET re-
porter an official of the company yesterday
work:
The shaft is double compartment, sets
~ feet apart, timbered with 1Ox1O timber
from top to bottom, and is 235 feet in depth
at present time and is still sinking. At 154
feet from the surface the first station is cut,
station drifts are seen both east and west
upon the vein in all, distance of 165 feet.
Drifts are we'll timbered with 8x8 timbers,
sets being feet apart, and besides this,
about As feet of CROSS cuts and other work
have been accomplished. The surface i'm

we'll defined assure vein IN granite; the pay
streak varies from IA inches to feet and
second class ore about 3 feet in width, max
ing a lead from 5 to feet in width at 30
feet in depth. The shaft was cut through
the same vein and it looked the same show
ing that the chute of ore continues on down.
At depth Of 25O feet and 100 feet below
the first level a second station will be cut
and drifts started for the vein, which we
hope to find even better than above, but
will be satisfied should we be disappointed,
as the ore averages from upper work

Two cars went forward last month and
We expect to ship as many if not
more this. This work of opening the mine
and building improvements was started in
dead of winter, when snow was upon a level
four and five feet in depth, and has all been
accomplished within short perion of six
months. Besides the above work the COM
pany has boarding house 6Ox2O feet, four
logging houses and Office building 35x18
feet, besides all other necessary improve
ments, viz: powder magazine, store-room,

Where the Trusts Get Nourishment

Senator Vest in speech in the SEN
ate lately showed by the following 6
facts how the trusts are sustained by
high duties which remove all possibil-
ity of competition from other countries
and enable them to fix their own
prices.
l. The steel rail trust, buttressed by
a tariff tax OF SIT per ton.
9. The nail trust, by tariff tax of
$l.25 per 100 pounds.
3. The iron nut and washer trust, by
tax of 50 per 100 pounds.
4. The barbed fence wire trust, by a
tax of GO cents per 100 pounds.
5. The copper trust, by tax of 81
so per 100 pounds.
6. The lead trust, by a tax of $I.5O
per 100 pounds.
7. The slate pencil trust, by tax of
80 per cent.
s. The nickel trust, by tax of $I5
per 100 pounds.
8. The zinc trust, hy tax of $3.50
per 100 pounds.
10. The sugar trust, by tax of 50
per 100 pounds.
ii. The oil cloth trust, by tax of
40 per cent.
II. The jute bag trust, by tax of
40 per cent.

"Does Farming Pay;'-No.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrdt, a Re.
publican organ, has interviewed,
through its correspondents, 1926 far
mcrs in Illinois, Missouri and Kansas
on the condition of agriculture in
these States. "Was there any money
in farming last year at current
prices?" was the leading question
asked, and it was supplemented by
queries as to the cost Of raising crops
as compared with the selling prices,
the average profit per head on cattle
and hogs sold, the relative profits on
crops, and whether it pays best to sell
corn or feed it. Of the 1,G26 farmers
interviewed TO reside in Missouri, 654
in Illinois and 262 in Kansas. In its
issue of the Sth inst, the Globe-DemO-
crat devotes about % columns to re-
ports of these interviews. They are
not printed in full, but assurances are
given that those which are printed are
representative; that they were Sc
lected purely on that account, and
that but little more actual informa-
ton could have been given if the
whole of 1925 interviews has been
printed in full. ain Kansas" says
the Globe Democrat, "the strict orders
of the Farmers Alliance to give no in
formation as to the cost of raising
grain or stock resulted in quite a num-
ber of representative men refusing to
answer any questions whatever, and
hence the information as to the agri.
cultural situation in that State is
comparatively meager."
The GlObe-Democrat tries to make
the best showing possible for the far
mers of these three States, but the
best is bad enough, in all conscience.
1t says that Missouri agricultu-
ralists are inclined to take a despond-
cnt view." and the interviews pub.
lished, which are probably as cheerful
as any of them, certainly present facts
sufficient to justify their pessimism.

Where is Blaine?
Florida Times-Union. I

Will nothing break the dull monot-
ony of the Harrison Administration?
1t is now 1888 days old, and aside
from tumbling Democrats out of pub
lie office and installing Republicans in
their places, it has done little else than
exist. During the campaign of 1883
and the months just preceding the in
auguration, there was good deal of
talk and much more speculation about
the " Harrison policy" II the Presi
dent has ever defined policy, or ever
formulated one, the public at large has
never discovered it. There still re-
main lO95a days in which Benjamin
Harrison may show what there is in
him; but 50 far his Administration
has been the tamest affair in the his
tory of American politics. 1t hasn't
even shown what was advertised in the
bills-a policy.
Harrison isn't so much as Il figure
hcad-for as yet there is nothing which
needs an attachment of this kind. He
has had predecessors in the Prcsidcn-
:ial chair who were marked by medioc-
Gritty, but in almost every instance
there was some bold spirit in the Cabi-
net whose political brilliancy or strong
personality, at least, contributed II lit
tie lustre to the whole, and made the
Administration game worth the
candle But since the 1th day OF
March, 1889, there has hardly been a
flicker on the dull morrison OF the Har-
rison regime.
Where is Blaine? Up to the end of
the first year Of his accession to the
State portfolio his name was scarcely
breathed in Administration circles.
Friends and foes alike of the new Ad-
ministration had predicted that the
plumed knight would make the Adj
ministration all his own, and that the
Chief Executive would become will
ing worshipper at the shrine. Has the
Harrison dullness leavened the whole
lump? Have the whole box and
dice" been blankcted in it? Is there \
quality of expansion in this Presiden-
tia! mediocrity which has spread itself
over the whole Cabinet to the utter
extinction of the oriilamme of the
plumed knight?
Or is the man from Maine at logger
heads with the Administration and
" sulking ir his tent?" 1t is no: like
Blaine to be content with mediocrity
He is nothing if not brilliant, and he
had no doubt aspired to stamping his
individuality upon this Administration
rs landmark to look back upon in
his political decline. But he doesn't
seem to stamp" worth a cent.

The Last Gun.

The German press is discussing at
length the merits of new French re-
peating air-rifle called the miracle
gum" The rifle was invented by NJ.
Paul Giffard in Paris, the original pro-
jectOr of the Parisian pneumatic post.
1t is described thus: "The weapon is
light, much lighter than Ry of the
army rifles now in use. 1t resembles
the magazine gun in that steel cart
ridge about n span and n half long and
rs thick as q mans thumb, is at
tached to the one barrel by means OF
a screw. This cartridge contains 300
shots, which can be discharged as
rapidly or as slowly as a man desires.
Since neither powder nor any other
explosive, but only compressed and
liquefied air, supplies the expelling
force, no smoke and no flash accom-
pany the discharge. Only a short,
sharp, low report is heard as the ball
leaves the cartridge. At the recent
trial the ball travelled with wonderful
accuracy and penetrated deep into the
wall of the shooting room. As soon
as one cartridge is empted of its 800
shots, another cartridge can be screwed
on the gun in the twinkling of an eye.
NJ. Gifiard says that the 800 shots in a
cartridge can be produced at q cost OF
about two and half cents. The
gun itself can be manufactured for
about So"

THE San Francisco Chronicle says
that j. J. Tobin, Commissioner of La
Dor Statistics, has completed report
On the woolen manufactures of Cali
fornia, which may be summarized as
follows: 4" A little over year ago we
had in California Is WOODEN mills run
ming 10 carding machines, with capi-
tai of from $3,OO0,0OO to $i,OOO,OOO.
At present only half that number are
running with a capacity OF only 33
carding machines. All OF the mana
gers, superintendent, etc, of woolen
mills who were interviewed concurred
IN saying that over or excessive pro-
duction of woolen goods was the first
or primary cause. The woolen mills
OF California have producing capacity
far in excess Of the local demand"
One mill alone could more than sup
ply the home market. Export trade
to British America, Mexico, Central or
South America is impossible under ex-
listing tariff systems.

An assignment for the benefit of the
creditors will probably be made. The
company's assets are said to be in ex-
cess of its liabilities. Two different
causes are assigned for the failure.
One is mismanagement, and the 9th.

thirty years. The original building
was erected in 1854 by Captain James

was carried to this coast on ship-board

built by Captain Johnson, was 2Ox31

and the lumber is Allegheny pine, and
in spite OF the rude buffetings of wind
and weather, is as sound as a nut yet.
The late E. G. Loomis was the builder

The Seattle Press, in speaking of the
unnecessary number of clerks EN-.

says that one clerk draws $500 for at

American Goods Abroad.


In the last campaign attention was
frequently called to the fact that the
protected manufacturers OF the United
States sold their goods much cheaper
abroad than they did at home, on ac-
count of the war tariff Which enables
them to charge higher price in this
highly propected" country. Agri-
cultural machinery was especially re-
ferred to as an example. Attempts
were made to deny it, but if the deni-
al was based on fact, it is difficult to
see how American machines could sue
cessfully compete with the manufac-
turers of England.
Attention is again called to this diff
ference in prices by trade catalogue
issued by a Philadelphia bicycle inn
porting house which does not hesitate
to say that many American manufac-
turers charge their fellow Americans
more for goods than they charge
Englishmen and Frenchmen." The
circular proceeds to give few ex-
amples from firms that everybody
knows" 1t cites Waltham watches,
which, it says, an English mechanic
can buy for less money than can an
American mechanic. The saws made
by Henry Disston & Sons, of Phila-
dclphia, are mentioned as illustrating
the same thing. The canned fruits OF
the Golden Gate Packing Company, of
San Francisco, fetch 30 cents a can in
the United States, but are said to be
sold for 20 cents in England. The Of
flee files made by the Shannon File
Company, of Rochester, cost 50 each
to an American, but we are assured
that an Englishman can buy them for
$1.32. The circular even asserts that
Minnesota flour and Western beef are
sold at lower prices in London than in
New York, but experts declare this can
be true only under exceptional cir
cumstances. There is no question,
however, that bicycles of American
manufacture which are sold here for
$l35 fetch far lower prices in Germany,
and even in Canada, after paying duty
in those countries, inasmucL as they
compete with the same English ma
chimes with which they are i'll compe-
titiOn here and which are listed in
England at Ell and ELS $S5 and 500,
but are actually sold below the list
prices, bringing, it is said, from SGT so
TO $72. Probably few, if any, Ameri-
can bicycles are sold in England, but
they are advertised in the newspapers
of Germany and have q considerable
market in Canada.
The American producers of these
goods, it is safe to say, are not selling
their wares abroad from motives o.
benevOlence, but are making reason
able profit on them. If such is the
case, why should the Government as
sist them to secure still larger profits
from American consumers? And what
becomes of the usual argument that
high wages which they pay renders it
impossible for them to compete with
foreign manufacturers OH equal terms
at home, since they are doing it sue
cessfully abroad?

NEBRASKA FARMERS.
They Insist That the Tariff Must be
Reduced.
From the Omaha World Herald.

From the Omaha World Herald.
In almost every county in Nebraska
the farmers have organized alliances
they have resolved that the tariff must
be reduced; that railroad rates must
be lowered; that taxes are too high,
and that they will not support for pub
lie offices any men who will not pledge
them their support for relief. 1t is
yet early in the year, fully six months
before the conventions are held. There
are to he elected Legislature, a Gov
ernor, an AttorneyGeneral, an Audi
tor OF Public Accounts, State Treas
urer, and Il Land Commissioner
These last named officers compose the
Board of Transportation, and all of
them, but the Attorney-General will
have held but one term, there would
ordinarily bc but little excitement in
the State Convention. But this year,
lilolC thdil any clilCI III tIlc Ctdtc )
history, there will be u struggle on
every hand.
And the farmers with there splendid
organizations will be masters of the
situation. All they need to do is to
assert themselves, demand their rights,
and their demands must be considered.
Already politicians are seeking to
throw dust in the farmers eyes, the
railroads are capturing boards OF trade
wherever they can, and from now un-
til the day of election the politicians
will endeavor to coax, tease or brow
beat the farmers into line. They have
all sorts OF games to spring, and this
year they will do more than ever be-
fore. The World Herald has but one
word of advice for the Alliance men at
this time, and that is: Do not swerve
from your resolution. Stick to your
text. You are on the right track and
will win in November if you keep the
politicians and traitors out of your
councils.
