The debt of the company has been
reduced $l951.1l the past year and is
now s967S24
The assessment for driving was made
on 81 $40. S03 feet, the whole amounting
to s13.s2726
The companies voted to pay the same
prices for labor as last year, which was
s.. 30 per day for head men and $1.1o for
drivers.
1t is still little early to make an
exact estimate of the whole amount
cut. this season, but good authority
places it between 100000, 600 and 20
900. 900 feet, which will be fully 200oo,-
900 less than last year.
The work in the woods Is nearly COM
pleted, as the recent bad snow storm
troubled them greatly. and will lessen
the whole cut fully 1000, 900 feet, There
will be just about enough in the cut
to supply the mills with what will be
ncddcd,t hut together with the logs that
were left over from last season it is
thought that there will be plenty.
Although there is no telling what
may happen before the driving season.
everything points to a good supply of
water.
The meeting of the Kennebec Log
Driving Co. will be held, today, and a
large attendance is expected.

Plain Facts in Politics.
Manufactures Record.

one Of the greatest needs of
the South is politics That state,
ment may be disputed in some
quarters until politics is defined.
Webster gives several definitions
OF politics. One is, the science
OF government another is, the
advancement of candidates to
Office. The South has too much
of the latter and not enough Of
the former. Hence the ills which
are its portion. The situation is
aptly described by Charles w.
Dabney, president of the Univer-
sity OF Tennessee. and late assist
ant secretary of agriculture In
an article chiefly for farmers in
the "Southern States Farm Mag
azine" Of Baltimore for Decem-
Der he writes:
The road that passes your
gate, the school your children go
to, the church you attend Sunday,
your village and its every interest
require your earnest and consci-
entious attention and support.
Why should politics influence you
in deciding who should survey
the road or select the teacher or
keep order in the village. And
yet, eight times out of ten, the
party convention or boss will de
eide your vote even in the selec-
ton of school director. For
your own home interests YOU
want the best, most efficient and
most faithful person in each
place. But for the sake of help
ing to maintain an organization
which aims to elect a congress-
man once every two years, or IA
governor once in four, you will
sacrifice interests that affect the
prosperity, comfort, and intellect
ual and moral advancement of

their defenders against hydra.
headed monopolies and soulless
corporations. What are we here
| for 2"
To retain their hold upon pub
lie office and the opportunities in
it for plumber, the unscrupluous
politicians play upon passion,
prejudice and ignorance to the
detriment of his State until in
desperation the progressive ele-
ment leads a revolution instead
of assisting in an evolution, and
the last state of that community
is worse than the first.
But an end must come to such
politics. The intelligence and en-,
terprise OF the South and the
friends elsewhere of the South
are encouraged for the future bv
the events of the recent past. In
many cities of the South are DOW
erlul influences at work for the
growth of healthy public senti-
ment that will send the dema-
gogue permanently 10 the rear.
For several years the Richmond
(Na.) Times has been contendinm
for honesty and purity of the
ballot in the face of many Difficult
ties and on the high ground of
public morality. Only the other
day the Charleston News and
Courier made the record of crimes
of violence in South Carolina the
text for a magnificent plea for
the development of an opinion
that will prevent such crimes by
compelling swift and certain le-
gal punishment. The Atlanta
journal, the New Orleans States,
the Galveston News and the Lou
isville Courier-J Journal are among
other newspapers which lead in
the crusade for higher tone of
public thought and broader
scope of public action. They have
a constantly-increasing number of
followers, and their persistency
will have its good effect in time.
There is 10 reason why every
newspaper in the South should
not take an active part in the
propaganda. Viewing the mat
ter from a purely materialistic
standpoint, the campaign for pub
lie morality in the South would
mean Temporary less for some
newspapers, but in the end it
would be to their adva. age.
The disappearance of the dem
agogCe would remove great in
cubus from some of the press, as
we'll as from the community. and

tration TO the faults of the oppo-
sition than to remove the festivi
ties in the dominant party.
For the politician has trained
his constituents into the belief
that upon !he success of party
depends the very salvation of the
individual. The stress of previ-
Gus conditions Il generation ago
was strong foundation for such
a doctrine, but that time has pass
ed. There never was a time, how
ever, when it was true that the
preservation of civilization could
be possible only in the retention
o. particular individuals and their
friends in public office. AS a
matter of fact. that was exactly
the result of a preaching of the
doctrine of self preservation. Now
it is practically the doctrine, and
20 maintain it the politicians
teach by their actions that it is
more important for a justice of
the reace to be strict party
man, that is a loyal adherent of
themselves, than to be possessed
of a knowledge of the law or com
mon sense.
This canker. which reaches to
the very vitals of community,
paralyzing the energies which
should be excited i'm the choice
of competent representatives,
comes to the surface even more
threateningly in legislative bodies.
There is a growing discomfort
with an election law, the impetus
coming from those citizens who
have been brave enough and in
dependent enough to break away
from a public sentiment false and
injurious in its origin, but assidu-
ously cultivated by the machine.
The machine proposes to reform
the ballot. Instead of boldly
taking the bull by the horns, as
was done in Mississippi, and elm
mating from the suffrage elements
of ignorance which menace the
peace of the State in politics, the
habit, TOO often, is to make com
promise or to frame law that
will enable the politicians to Jug
gle the ignorance upon which
they thrive. In this practice are
the germs of laXlty in public
morality.
Discomfort with existing indus
trial conditions incline the people
TO encourage the entrance into
the State of iructifying capital.
They see the good effects of libcr-
al legislation on the subject OF in
vcslmcnts in other States, and re-
alize the evil consequences Of
laws placing foreign capital upon
an inequality with home capital.
The politician has his opportuni
~ IN this unrest, and frequently
manages TO wrest victory from the
very agitation that would send
hIm into oDscurity. lis safety is
in bad laws. Demagogery lives
and moves and has its being i'm

The April Fool.

Frank Wilson, one of the pioneers OF
the Ferguson district, Lincoln county
New, and one of the original discover
crs of the De Lamar mine, and also OF
the April Fool, is in the city on bust
ness, bringing with him a consignment
of gold bullion, valued at about 81, 900.
Mr.. Wilson is manager of the April
Fool, and a heavy stockholder in the
company, and the mine, which he has
presided over ever since it was a mere
prospect hole, is now a heavy producer,
and is sending in regular consignments
of gold bars and gold cyanides.
Mr.. Wilson is now giving employment
to a force of so men, large number of
which are engaged in doing develop
ment work, and at the mill about %
tors of high grade gold quartz is being
treated daily.
In speaking of the mine, Mr.. Wilson
states that it is looking fine, and that
large and new bodies of pay mineral

MAGNIFICENT ORE BODIES.
Important Developments Made of
Late In the Famous Mercur mine.

Important developments have been
made Of late in the development of the
famous MeTcur acknowledgements
which go far towards proving the ex-
istence of magnificent ore bodies in
this property in a locality which, year
or two ago, was no. considered as be-
ing of special value.
Reference is especially made TO the
Lulu claim, embraced in the COM
pany's holdings, which, on account of
its somewhat isolated position, has been
neglected in the past in the way of
development.
Quite a stir was created in mining
circles in this city a few months ago
on account of the showing made in
what is now known as the Lulu tunnel
where splendid bodies of oxidized mill
ing ore Of good gold values We're ex-
posed. since which time an overhead
tram has been built from the mouth
of the tunnel TO the Matte ore bins,
on q spur of the Salt Lake & Mercur
railroad, and now over 80 tons of ex-
cellent milling stuff is being sent down
daily from the Lulu workings and it is
anticipated that the output from this
portion of the mine will be materially
increased in the near future, or as soon
as room can be made there so that
more men can be put TO work.
The Lulu tunnel is on the south end
of the Lulu claim, thus leaving a. large
area the mineral value of which was
problematical, but developments made
during the past few weeks put a new
phase to this question and there is now
reason to believe that the whole claim
is entirely underlaid with one vast zone
of ore.
The developments above alluded to
consist of an extension of a drift from
the old workings of the Mercur mine
into the north end Of the Lulu claim
This drift is the longest workings in
the mine, and extends into the Lulu
on the north end of the lode for a dis
lance of $50 feet on the upper vein.
the entire distance being one solid mass
of good ore, and still there is no end
OF mineral, and as the workings in
this part of the mine are distant nearly
1900 feet from the Lulu tunnel, and as
no fault or break is known to exist on
this ground, which is nearly level and
unbroken in this locality, it is only fair
to presume that the intervening dis
lance is one great body of ore.
The Mercur mine never looked better
than it does today, one proof of which
is thct the semi-monthly shipments of
cyanides just made from the mill is
valued at from S24, 200 to $25, 600.
