"The Senator from Spain.

Senator Hale declares opposition to the
forthcoming peace treaty This had been
expected 1t may said, too, that no man
in the United States can occupy that posi-
ton more logically. 1t is in entire accord
with his whole course in the difficulty
with Spain and rounds out record which
shows at every point defiance of public
sentiment and an antagonism to the inter
eStS of the country. Mr.. Hale ought to
lead the opposition. He best expresses 1t,
and from his deliverances and maneuver-
ing as recognized leader the full purposes
and meaning of the opposition could best
be gathered.
During all the months of the discussion
in Congress of the Cuban question, the
senior Senator from Maine virtually stood
for Spain. He had his own way of put
ting the matter, but his real sympathles
were never concealed His proposition,
in substance, was that the situation IN
Cuba was none of this country's business.
Weylerism did not move him. He could
not be brought to believe the reports about
the widespread distress in the island. He
remained serene even when it was shown
that twelve thousand deaths had occurred
in a single month in one province. For
some reason De Lomeism did not move
him. The destruction Of the Maine did
not move him. Nothing could move him.
Through all of the hideous developments
Of that hideous period he remained on
Spain side.
AS long as a single voice in the Senate
raised in objection could serve Spain MI.
Hale was a power. He was always On
hand. and lie always objected. His watch
fulness and devotion to Spanish interests
earned for him the title, spoken publicly
in the debates OF the chamber of ''the
senator from Spain" But when the
pinch came, when the country demanded
action and Congress resolved to respond
to that sentiment Mr. Hale was as help
less as a child in arms. He could not
stay The tide for a moment.
VIII HE be likely TO exert greater in
tiueuce against the treaty? What can he
do' Public sentiment will support the
treaty as it supported the war for driving
Spain out OF Cuba. And, what is more. in
The ease of the treaty one Of the men who
viii urge its ratification is the Junior
senator from Maine. Il fine type of Ameri-
can and a very able mau. Nj. Frye is al
ways on the side Of the United States.

For Tlaine Married Women.

Among the decisions handed down by the
law court recently was one in the case of
Dora L. Morgan vs. Sophie Martin, unique
case in Androscoggin county, in which a
wife entered suits against an unmarried
woman for alienation of her husbands affec-
tions.
The case never came to trial, being sent
to the law court on exceptions. All the
parties were we'll known and it is said that
the respondent has since married and the
case has altogether dropped out of public
interest.
The court gives the following rescript:
Androscoggin IS. Dora l.. Morgan VS..
Sophie Martin. Rescript, Strout j.
A married woman cannot maintain an
action against another woman for alienation
of the affections of the husband of the form
er. Exceptions overruled.

The Bassick Mines.
To be Worked Again. Litigation has
Kept them Silent Many Years.

Bridgeport, CT, Republican Standard
Edgar Bassick of this city, who left for
Denver, Col, some time ago to look after
the interests of a new mining company
which has been formed to work the old Bas
sick mines, has arrived there and has com
menced in earnest the work of the new
concern. The latter is ready to begin op-
erations in the development Of the abandon
ed mines and in a few months, the old
shafts, which have been silent during the
lengthy litigation, will hum with machin-
cry. 1t is reported in mining circles that
the condition of the mines is such that as
soon as the shafts are prepared big guam
tity of ore, already developed, will be ready
for shipment. The old Bassick mines are
among the best in Colorado.
The new company is composed of men
who have a knowledge of the business and
will work the mine to The best advantage.
Mr.. Bassick is secretary and treasurer of
the company and one of the largest stock
holders.
The Republican journal., 1898-12-15

The new concern is known as the Bassick
Gold Nine company. 1t was organized
under the laws of New Jersey. The first
work to be done is the putting of the build
ings in repair and the unwatering of the
mine. At recent meeting of the directors,
Chas. M Ellis of Aspen was appointed su-
perintendent, and he has already commenc-
ed the work OF gathering supplies aud get
ting the property in order. The pumping
operations will commence at once.
1t is said that the company will not pro-
ceed under the hypothesis that there are ex-
listing ore bodies i'll the upper workings of
the mine, but if ore should be found, the
mill attached to the property will be put in
repair and the shipments commenced imme-
diately This, of course, will not be learned
until the water is lowered sufficiently. 1t is
believed, ana is positively stated by those
conversant with the workings of the prop
erty, that in the lower workings, there are
large bodies of ore developed and that, as
the mine is unwatered, shipments will be
resumed without delay.

So much depends upon the purity of the

The Republican journal., 1898-12-15

After the surface working had been practi-
CalIy exhausted, producing large amount
of money even for those bonanza days, the
work was continued in the expectation,
warranted by the results. of finding other
bodies below, and in the prosecution OF this
work the company which then owned the
mines became involved to some extent aud
ali attempt was made to reconcile the con
flICtiug interests by the formation of a new
company which should include all the
claimants against tie company. These ne
gOtiations failed, and then followed the lit-
cation, only recently concluded, which has
resulted in putting the mine in possession of
the Bassick interest.
\ great deal of romance has been written
concerning the history of the discovarer of
the mine E. G. Bassick not a word of
which is true. Mr. Bassick was practical
miner of many years experience when he
found the property. He had mined in Cali
fornla, Australia and other parts of the
world. and was a rich man long before he
thought of coming to Colorado. He was in
Leadville, and was well known in that
camp before going to Custer county. He
had his ups and downs III this State like all
the successful miners Of to-day, but was
never reduced to the straits that have been
depicted i'll such detail in many of the news
papers of the State The Bassch was no
more the result of accident than any other
Of the mines of Colorado, but was found by
tdl ltiul, SNSItIhdulc FroH)tCbllS, KNOW l.
edge of mineral formations and thorough
acquaintance with mining conditions. He
knew what he was looking for ana knew
what he had when he found it, though the
development of the property probably eX-
ceeded his anticipation.
Many stories are current about the high
values of the ore bodies in the lower levels,
but, they have been covered with water
for many years, nothing Will be definitely
known about them until the property is
unwaTered. The fact that the work of put
ting the mine again in production has been
undertaken by strong company backed
with ample capital is enough. 1t means a
heavy addition to the output of the State
and the employ ment of large force of
men. 1t will probably require several
months to reach the lower workings, but as
soon as tho upper levels are uncovered
systematic effort will be made to find bodies
of shipping ore. The plans of the company
are very comprehensive.

TO INCREASE
The Wayne Township Tax Levy
in Case More Bridges and
Improved Roads Are
Insisted on.

1t is probable that when the county
commissioners meet IN June there will
be an increase made IN the tax levy for
Wayne township. This increase, if
made, may be accredited to the
popular clamor for more bridges
and road repairs. The floods that
took place during the latter part
of the winter and the early spring
created havoc among the roads and
bridges of the townships. and since
that time there has been q constant
elamor for new bridges, repairs TO old
bridges. and TO the roads. The only
means by which this demand can be
complied with is to increase the levy
for the township.
