Mr.. Eugene Debs is travelling about
the country, leoturing in behalf of his
cooperative colonization scheme. IN an
address insLynn the other night he said
that cooperative colonization schemes had
failed heretofore because the people en-
gagged in them were not prepared for the
experiment. The Implication is that
people now are prepared. Mr.. Debs is
mistaken. The failure of cooperative
colonization schemes has had its seat In
human nature, and unless Mr.. Debs can
show that human nature has met with
"a great change the people are no better pre-
pared for them now than they were when
they were tried and failed. Men are so con.
stituted that they. want to reap the re-
wards of their own labor for themselves,
andsare very much sopposed4to dividing
I'D with others especially If some of the
latter have done no work at all, or not
fair share Of it. The cooperative colony
destroys by its very idea the chief incen-
tive to men to work which is that they
may aocumulate something exclusively
for themselves. The scheme has been
tried over and over again under condi-
lions just as favorable as any that exist
today, and under leaders ADLER and more
experienced than Mr.. Debs and it has
always failed. Experience is the best
teacher and the lesson which it teaches is
that the cooperative colonization scheme,
however seductive it may appear in
theory, in practice is always attended with
failure,

The agitation in regard to the sale of
the Union Pacific road has not been with
out effect. The syndicate which was
formed to purchase the road, have just
informed the government that they will
increase their offer for the road S.. 600, 600
above the price which they had formerly
fixed as their utmost limit. Eight
million dollars is a good deal of money
and it is difficult to understand how it is
that they are willing to increase their
bid that amount If the railroad is not
worth nore.than the amount of their first
offer, as.they claimed at the, time they
made it.

A thoughtful consideration of the latest
representations touching the New York
election is likely to leave one very much
in doubt. Sheehan says: "We are

tion." McCook: "All indications TODAY
are that our campaign is making even
better progress than 1t made last week -
Quigg: General Tracy has won the
election. Z" Purdy: 1.-THE signs that
George will win are increasing every

ance there is bound to begbetween s"hind

Now that Neal Dow has gone, some of
the Maine politicians are mastering up
the courage to talk of repeating the prohi-
bition laws at the next session of the
Legislature. He was tower of strength
to that policy, and what could not be
done In his lifetime may possibly suc-
coed now.-Springtield Republican.
There have been plenty of Maine politi-
clans for many years back who could
muster up courage to talk of repeating
the prohibitory law. Indeed that has
practically been one Of the issues in two
state campaigns at least. But no politi
clan has ever talked of repeating the law
at the next session of the legislature, be-
cause all our politicians know perfectly
well that the prohibitory law can not be
got rid Of without repeal Of the prohi-
bitory amendment which was put in the
constitution in 1854 Doubtless the per-
son who originated the story the Re-
publican publishes was entirely ignorant
of the amendment, else he would have
seen that it was absurd on It's face.

To the other signs of apathy in
Ohio is now added considerable
falling off in the registration in the
cities. Each party claims that the other
will suffer most from it, but the prob
ability is that both will lose votes in
about equal proportion Some of this
decline is natural enough, as the vote
in off years never comes upssto that of
Presidential year, but in some tplaces
there is altogether too much of it to be
fully accounted for in that way. There
are divisions in both parties, and to
them is doubtless attributable some of
the loss.

BINGHAM BULLETIN NOTES.
Strike Reported in the Ada and
Mainspring Claims.

The leasers of the Ada and handspring
claims. in Cottonwood gulch, are quite
jubilant over strike made this week,
which promises to return something
handsome for the time and money that
has been used in their development After
tedious instructed work a crosscut run
so feet tapped the vein, and 1t is now
showing small streaks of rich mineral
at both walls. The leasers are confident
they have a fine prospect, and will be
shipping lots of good ore next summer.
The claims are owned by Joe Jones, A. L.
Heaston, Dan Clays and others.
Great activity in mining is predicted
for next summer by shrewd observers.
and just now there are local indications
that the opinion will be yerified. Dur
ing the past few days we have heard of
a number of inquiries for Bingham gold,
silver and copper properties, by parties
who want to engage in active operations,
and there is evidently a market right
now for such as have good ground to sell
at a fair valuation.
A. II. Bemis is in the city with 80
ton lot of indicator ore that will give
a good return. ii carrying about 90 per
cent lead, and hitting the market just
in time to catch the rising quotations.
The production was mostly from devel-
oprlent work. and it may be inferred
that the indicator will be in shape to
be on the list of heavy shippers next
summer.
The carload of Julia Dean ore that
went in last week is reported 10 have
sampled IA ounces silver per ton. 1t
was handsome lot, such as only the
Julia is capable of producing.

THE JAKE MILLER MINE.
Valuable Gold Property Sold to Mon
tana Parties.

Mention has been made in these col
umns from time to time regarding the
Jake Miller gold mine, in Gold Mount
ain district. and this property, from
all accounts, is one of the most prom
lsing bonanzas in the district.
The Miller group comprises eight
claims, and ii is stated that the prop
erty adjoinS the noted Sewer mine,
which is principally owned by Charlie
Lammersdorf and his associates. About
$1,000 has been expended in the devel-
opment of the Miller ground, and The
Herald is informed that this work has
disclosed eight feet of solid ore that
averages 500 in gold to the ton, while
there are chutes through the vein that
goes as high as $500 to $4,000 in the
yellow metal
This property has been held under
bond for the past month or so, but it
is learned that since his visit to this
city Mr.. Joseph Z. Ray of Fillmore,
has made a sale of the mine to Mon
tana capitalists, the purchase price
ranging up near the $4,000 mark,
payment being made at the time of the
deal, while the balance of the money is
to be paid in installments, the whole
TO he paid in by the first of July,
1t is possible that the new purchas-
erS will put in a mill during the sea-
son, and if they do, there is no doubt
but that the district will make a fine
record this year, as 1t is understood
that there are other projects in con-
temptation for the camp which, if con-
summated, will give it a wonderful i'm
petus.
A prominent mining expert, who has
recently visited the camp, states that
in his opinion the district will develop
into another Cripple Creek.

Social Unity.

The idea of a united society in which
there may be an equal or approx
mately equal share of liberty, wealth
and success apportioned to each mem
Der. is the idea of the socialist. This
idea has certainly originated in a true
and just Instinct. However utopian
may be the detailed schemes which
have been formulated by the socialist
of any class, his main contention con-
sists in the outlining of an ideal in
which love and not selfishness, Justice
and not MONOPOLY, shall have para
mount place and influence in the
world. Socialism. as some of it's adj
vocates and prophets conceive of it,
may be political and scientific i'm
possibility But so far as it looks for
ward to a unification of the interests,
a reconciliation of the claims of the
various classes of society, it is true
and reasonable. Tt is nothing Enore
than an ATTEMPT to establish in the
state that ideal unity of the human
family which the Gospel came to an
nounce as true and beautiful, however
much that ideal had become obscured
in the mind of the world, and however
human selfishness and greed, human
idleness and perversity had cut men
mp into classes, and subserved the ben
eft of the few at the expense of dis
tress and misery to the many. AS So
cial unity had been preached by Chris
tianitY. so the true socialism must be
a Christian socialism. whatever that
term NAV be found to connote The
unity of society can only be real and
permanent when men discharge their
sense of their oneness lin Christ

TAKING OUT GOOD ORE.
Encouraging Showing in the Chlor-
ide Point Mine.

w. E. Hubbard, the promoter of the
Chloride Point enterprise, and who is
the secretary of the company bearing
this name, which was recently organ
lied in this city, returned Friday night
from an inspection of the mine and he
states that the property is looking in
most prosperous condition, and that
the force OF eight men which is now
employed in the development of the
mine, is making a great showing of
ore in the workings of this old time
producer. which, in the opinion of
many, promises to become a rival of
the Northern Light mine as a bonanza
proposition.
AT the present time the force at the
mine is engaged in drifting both ways
from the face of the 7OO-foot tunnel.
and in doing this it has already taken
out about ten tons of ore that will
carry average values of 200 ounces sill
yer and S. in gold to the ton, while
on the dump large amount of mineral
has been piled that will go from %
TO 40 ounces in silver and from s.. so to
81 in gold.
In running the drifts from the face
OF the tunnel, as mentioned above. a
blanket deposit of ore, from a foot
and half to three feet in width is be-
ing encountered. and this is high grade
values of from 300 to over 500 ounces
in silver to the ton, and as there is
no waste whatever, as what is NOT
shipping is milling ore, some idea of
the extent of the ore bodies in the
mine can be entertained.
BY the first of the month is il the
intention of the company to resume
work in the sinking of the shaft on the
hill. This opening is now down to the
lO-foot level. and it is believed that in
20 feet more it will reach the tunnel
level, when the tunnel will be pushed
TO a connection. and the sinking of the

A SHELTER FOR TINTIC.
Possibility That the Proposed Plant
May Be Put In.

As announced a few days ago in
talk at the present time relative to the
ACCESSIBILITY of the erection of a
smelter in Tintic district, in which the
heavy mine owners of the district will
be shareholders.
AS it is the idea seems to take well
with the mine owners of the camp,
and it is more than likely that it will
not be long before the matter will be-
gin to assume definite shape, and that
before the close of the year the pro-
ducers of Tintic will be reducing their
own ores.
1t is understood that the Mammoth
company is favoring the enterprise,
and that George H. Robinson is also
highly in favor of the scheme. In fact,
it is stated that. De Lamar will go into
it, and as his arrival in Utah is ex-
pected in certain circles at no distant
day, it is more than likely that before
long arrangements will be perfected
for the construction of the plant.
According to the present understand
ing the different mining companies will
organize and become stockholders in
the smelling company, the plan of ac-
ton being to charge the very lowest
price for the treatment of ores consist
ent with the successful operation of the
plant, and what profits accrue are to
be divided with the incorporators and
shareholders in the way of dividends,
so that no loss will be sustained by
the producer, and this will enable the
mines of the district to run without
interruption.
There is no doubt but that the output
of the district will keep the smeiter in
operation continually, but should it be
desirable to buy ores from the outside,
a premium will be offered so that with
this inducement there will be no trouble
in getting all of the ores that the
works can handle.
In this connection it Is stated that a
custom mill for the treatment of free
ores may also be established, so that
it will not be necessary to ship a pound
of ore outside of the district, and as
this business will be run on the CO.
operative plan, it can readily be seen
that the little operators as well as the
big producers will be equally benefited
and that then they can laugh at the
smelter combine and courteously re-
quest it to go to" with its high treat |
ment charges

retary of the Homestake Mining COM
PAW, that ore had been encountered
n the drift that is being run from
the 300-foot level in the mine, and
that the outlook for the property was
most encouraging. The shaft left the
body OF ore so feet above, and in
driving for it from the 300 it was found
just where expected-12 feet from the
bottom of the shaft-which proves the
oermanency and continuity of the de-
post.
At the time of the writing of the
letter the extent of the ore body had
not been determined. but the indica-
tions are that the property viii open sup
into one Of the leading producers of
the camp, as the ore -Hrries excellent
values in copper and gold.
The excavation for the new steam
hoist has been completed and the plant

believed that the thorough develop
ment of the property will be greatly
facilitated.

highly elated over the showing made
in the mine.
