In few days the Beaver Lake
& PIPER Mining company will file arIi
ces Of incorporation with the county
cierk. This company will have Ca p'
llaliz ton Off $4,000, and is TO be
I. corporated for the purpose OF open
log up a very valuable copper PROPOSE
ton having its location at Ftisco, In
the very heart of what promists to
become one OF the best thinning dis
.tricts in the entire State.
This prospective Incorporation Ia the
result OF vlsit to that locality by
Messrs. A. l.. Morris and Il. M. West
of the Industrial Reporter. These
gentlemen got into the district for the
purpose OF writing 1t up Tor their
paper, but their stay thereabouts
was not strictly confined to
that. particular branch OF business--
they were too enterprising for that.
Mr.. Morris Ia graduate OF the Lond on
school of mines and in his few yenro
upon this mundane sphere he has
taken an interior view OF every noted

part Of the mining world the gentle
man spent q considerable portion OF
his time.

10 no tenderioot in the business, and to
him must be conceded the distinction
OF knowing mine when he sees IT..
Thus 1t is that while In Frisco ne and
MIR. West became Interested In u
property that they look upon
ms 'Jo.dandy." For several
years the mine has been under
constant development and 1t has now
reached point where 1t can be han
died with profit, while 1t has yielded
orc which has shown selling value
of S243 a car. Morris considers the
mine an A |, and says 1t will pay Tor
development from the grass toote.
The surface croppings show nvo dis.
tinct veins running parallel and on the
same dip, ana 1t Is the intention Ofvthe
company to swallow them ny, by
drifting in the direction In which
they run. At present little work is
being done aud the force OF miners

new concern finds itself on firm

Col. Jasper Pew Expresses His
Views on the Charter.

Ed. TELEGRAM:-1am opposed
to the new charter for Clarks-
burg on general principles. 1t
takes too much machinery, It,
takes twice as many officers and
the running expenses would be
three times as much as it takes
under our present system. Our
present charter allows us to make
all the Improvements we would
want, provided we pay. for the
same. But it seems that some Of
our good citizens want o license
to sell whiskey to raise revenue
to pave our streets and other
work. But If our town should
grant q license to sell whiskey
we would not have any more
money to make improvements
than we have now. The liquor
traffic is the greatest panpcr aud
crime breeder in this country and
the extra expenses incurred by {.
the unholy traffic would make US
worse off. A license town don't
shut up speak easies and regulate
drug stores. A fine OF ten dol
lars and costs don't shutup speak
easies. Under the new charter
our taxes would be much higher.
Look at Parkersburg. with its
with its large revenue from its
saloons, they are burdened with
a heavy taxation. And NOT a
very pious town either. Well do

license saloons and a disgraceful
townit was. Disorder and Blood

TO take the power out Of the
hands Of the county commission
ers TO grant or not grant license.
/ don't think our country people
are ready and willing to sacrifice
their boys to raise blood money
to pave the streets Of Clarks-
burg. We can't sell whiskey with
out customers. If our good citi-
zens and christian people would
take a little interest in getting
some wholesome bills through
our legislature and draw the
reins a little tighter on the drug
stores and speak easies and give
US q better chance to enforce the
law. it would look more Christ
like than to choose between two
evils by voting fora license sys-
tenn to damn the young men Of
this country and make thousands
of homeless families. II the
liquor traffic is right we ought TO
have a saloon in every church in
town and get the revenue to pay
church expenses. If the traffic
is wrong don't iegalize a wrong.
It's time Christian people would
take stems to settle this yexed
question. HE that is not for

It is demonstrated BY the his.

tory of modern municipal govern
ments, that one Of the greatest
aud most alarming evils in con-
nectiou with the administration
of such governments is the reck-
lessness evinced in levying taxes.
and the extrayagant and wasteful
expenditure of public moneys
taken from the pockets OF the
people. Accompanying this is
the jobbery attendant upon en-
terprises undertaken ostensibly
for the public good, but which
are too often schemes for divert
ing money from the pockets Of
the people into the pocket of
some one else.
All that has been said is but
a feeble portrayal of what will
be possible, even more than at
present, under the proposed new
charter. Given license, and a

payers and property owners
must bear the burden aud "pay

may be. 1t has been estimated
by statisticians that the localln-

dustry and commerce exceeds. it
is estimated, 800. 0OO,O for in
terest on local debts alone,
Perhaps a full knowledge of
the magnitude of that burden
may awaken the Taxpayers to
prevent it's increase, either by
constitutional changes, or by re-
forms in the methods of local
government. and a further re-
striction of the power of taxa
ton for local purposes. 1t is
high time to know how large a
burden of Indebtedness has been
fastened upon the commerce and
industry of the country through
municipal government, and to
guard against the enlargement
of the powers of such govern
ments.
The Ri. Hon. Joseph Chamber,
lain after examining the manage
ment of a hundred of our cities
great and small, says: "Ameri-
cans pay for less efficient service
in their large towns nearly five
times as much as is paid in the
case of a well managed English
municipality" And Mr.. Andrew
d. White, in an article in the
Forum December 1890, says /:
.Without the slightest exaggera-
ton we may assert that, with few
exceptions, the municipal gov
ernments in the United States,
are the worst in Christendom-
the most expensive, the most in
efficient, and the most corrupt
