WEST TINTIC MINES.
Great Showing of Ore In the Inter
national Group.

The Mammoth Record says: Among
Wednesdays arrivals from the diggings
was Mr.. ]. G. Williams, one of the
original locators of the properties now
embraced in the possessions of the In
ternational Mining company at West
Tintic. Although most of his interest
in the proposition was relinquished
when the present company took hold,
Mr.. Williams, who has just been
through it, congratulateS himself that
he has held on to a block of consider
able magnitude. He reports ore in
every opening in the mine. and looks
upon it as one of the most promising of
Tintic's propositions. At the Silver
Summit he reports the management
raising a nice quality of shipping ore,
with two carloads ready for the mar
ket. while at the Black Hawk work is

latter that Mr.. Williams shipped con-
siderable ore over fifteen years ago"
The International is owned princi-
pally by NJ Kopp, the candy maker,
who is emphatic in his assertion that
he wouldn't take u cent less than 81 a
share for it. his faith is so strong III the

About a month ago drifting was be-

THE NEGRO A BURDEN.

Economically the Heaviest One the
South Has to Bear
The south has not only to bear the
political evils which come from the
negro's presence and also the raciai
disturbances, but the heaviest burden
of all. and one which is seldom alluded
to, is the economic burden, the ex-
pense to the south Of keeping the ne
gro, says the Nashville American. This
ia what the south must reckon with
and what must stir the southern people
sooner or later to considering the ne
gro problem earnestly and deeply.
What per cent of the southern negroes
are non-producers We are not informed
hut we think we can safely say that
were there is one non-produclng
white person in the north there are
three non producing negroes in the
south. Whole families are dependent
upon the kitchens and homes of white
families. Even those who are produ-
GERS are in the main day laborers with
ont initiative and without any OF those
faculties which uplift and make
wealthy community or state or ma
ton. and are a charge upon the COM
munity at some time in their life. Given
southern city of $4,000 people, 80 1-S
per cent of which is negroes, take the
white population suddenly away, and
in less than two years that city would
be grown up in weeds and given over
to the bats and owls. In other words,
the negro is not in proportion to his
population an aid to the white man
in building up, developing and civiliz-
ing a country. The negro is econom-
ically the heaviest burden the south
has to bear. How is it to be lightened?
