Mining With Steam shovels.

The capacity of the great iron mines
OF the Mesabl Range in Minnesota has
often been referred to, but has never
been realized as 1t has this season. The
most striking instance Is shown by the
Mountain Iron Mine of the Oliver Iron
Company which began the season by
shipping from 5000 to 1000 tons of iron
ore day; but even this remarkable
work has been surpassed recently, and
the shipments have run from 5000 to
LOCO tons a day. Nothing like this.
we believe, has ever been done before.
and the mine must certainly be consid-
cred the greatest shipper of iron in the
world. The Mountain Iron Is a "steam
shovel mine:' that is, the workings
are open and the ore il taken out and
loaded on the railroad by steam show
els. The number OF men employed Is
very small, the total being less than $50
OF all classes.
Another Mesabi mine, the Fayal
promises 20 reach total shipment OF
1000, 600 tons this season, aud will prob
ably take place not far behind the
Mountain Iron. With such records the
Mesabi Range can claim to be the great.
est iron producer In the world. --Engin-

Missouri Corn Yarn.

Conductor Hall has received a letter
from home which speaks OF the big
corn crop in Missouri this year The
writer bears strong family resem-
blance to Hall judging from the abstract
we were permitted to take. He says:
"Our neighbor wanted to get couple
OF ears of new corn. He went to the field
to pick them. The stalks we're SO tall
that the ears were beyond his reach.
He boosted his boy up to get the ears.
The boy did not come down that day.
nor the next, nor the next week. Neigh
Dor died. When he got to Heaven he
asked If his boy was there. He was
told that boy answering the descrip-
tion had just passed through the day
before on a cornstalk. Dispatch.

sPYAs AID rnB PHILIPPINES.

When W. J. Bryan was IN Salt Lake
about ten days ago, he attended a meet
ing OF the Democratic leaders at one of
the hotels. It was a public affair and
the issues of the day were freely dis
eussed. The Tribune's report of the
proceedings contains the following:
speaking Ia respect to the Philip
pine question, Col. Bryan said that he
did not favor the pulling of the troops
from there at present, but he did favor
the Establishment of stable govern
ment.
= Then, said Judge Powers, If I
understand you correctly, you favor
frst, the restoration of order and the
esta blishment OF stable government;
second, that when such government Is
esta blished, Ii shah be turned over TO
The FilipinOs on terms satisfactory to
the Americans; third, that this Gov
erument shall retain such naval and
eoaling stations as may be deemed nee
essary to protect our interests and COM
merce; fourth. that our Government
shall compel all other Governments to
keep their hands off, so that We can
control the trade.
= That is my view Col. Bryan re-
piled.
" Well, then, said Judge Powers,
you and l don't differ.
Neither, so far as we can see, does
Mr.. Bryan differ from the present Ad-
ministration, though he is going around
the country and condemning that Ad-
ministration for doing exactly what he
admits Is necessary. Order must be
restored in the Philippines, and sta.
BILE government established whether ii
takes a year or generation to accom-
plish 1t. The obligation has been upon
US since the moment that Spain sur
rendered Manila to the American forces.
The sovereignty OF the United States
In the Islands Is justihable only to Sc
cure those ends. Congress deemed that
American sovereignty was necessary
and Mr.. Bryan advocated the ratifica-
tion of the treaty with Spain that Sc
cured that sovereignty according to the
laws OF nations. The fact that one
tribe of natives in the Philippines has
resisted our right to rule, does not de-
stroy our right nor remove our obliga-
ton. The only question in connection
with this situation that is before the
people of the United States to-day is,
"How long is it necessary for American
sovereignty in the Philippines to con-
tinue and on what terms shall it be re-
inquished?" That is the question with
which the next Congress must deal, and
We believe that its decision will repre-
sent the views of the vast majority OF
the American people.

Big Gold Discovery Near Reno.

The Reno Journal states that the
same gentlemen who are interested In
the newly organized Nevada Power q
transportation CO., have recently To-
Gated six claims about seven miles south
east of Reno, on what they believe to
be an extension OF the Brunswick lode.
The Groupings stand 30 feet high and
are 10 feet wide. No special value was
attached to the discovery on account of
its size and prominence, but assays
were made and the prospeetors discov-
cred that they had something like a
bonanza on their hands The average
returns were $40 in gold per bon. The
hanging wall Is limestone, with granite
base and the foot.wall Is on slate for

THE NATIONAL IRRIGATION
CONGRESS-.
Meets at Missouia, Montana, on
September 25th.

The approaching session of the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress promises to
be the most successful meeting of that
body since its Organization. Several
matters of vital interest to the West
will come before the Congress for its
action. Not the least important of these
is the grazing land question. For sew
eral years the Congress has endorsed
the policy now advocated by the De-
partment OF Agriculture of leasing the
public lands Tor grazing purposes, the
title to remain in the nation and the
revenue derived therefrom to be used
by the States for irrigation develop
ment. This policy Is undoubtedly y. gain
ing ground as il becomes better UNDER
stood. Many other subjects related to
irrigation will also come up for discus
sion.
Briefly stated the objects sought by
the Congress are the leasing OF the
grazing lands, the construction by the
Government of storage reservoirs, the
preservation of the forests as a source
of water supply, and the adoption OF a
harmonious system of irrigation laws
throughout the West.
1t is expected that several Governors
Of States will be present and others of
the most prominent men of the West.
Delegates and others attending the con-
gress to be held on September %, 26,
and y, may buy tickets to Miss6ula and
return on September 10, on all lines
west OF Chicago and st. Louis, at one
fare plus 81. This concession Is not
made to the delegates to the Congress
alone, but is for homeseeker's excur-
sion. As these tickets have stop-over
privileges, those taking advantage OF
this rate will have an opportunity To
see something Of the country.

Zabriszie Bros. came in from the

Some mining men visited the Ameri-

with the outlook. 1t is liable to sur
prise the Salt Luke parties who recent

paying their bills.
The Pick and Cad mine is attracting
much attention. The owners have

Some of the best developed proper.
ties in he district are lying idle, but
from numerous enquiries from Eastern
parties we opine ere long they will be

The miners working at Jacksonville
are extracting very fine gold ore. They
propose working these mines through
the winter and are making calculations
accordingly.
We understand some OF our mining
men have purchased the Griswold
springs across the valley with the In
teniion Of piping the water to this camp

operations.
It looks as II the big traction engine

NO RETREAT UNDER FIRE.

Opposition TO imperialism, militarism
and ruthless conquest Is one thing
and very proper thing. Wholesale
denunciation OF the American spirit
which refuses to retreat under ire
coupled with dedication of blaek-mail-
ing Malay scoundrel-is quite another
thing-and very bad thing. A large
and influential section of the Democratic
party appears to be in peril of adopt
ing this latter policy as eompaign is
sue. Such course will be fatal.
The forces OF the United States are
in the Philippines. They ought not to
be there; or rather, they would not be
there if the dictates of political pru-
dence and OF ordinary justice had been
needed. But they are there. They
are going to stay there, and any party
which advocates their withdrawal while
Emilio Aguinaldo and his followers are
against them will be overwhelmingly
defeated at the polls. Nothing can be
surer.
1t is IDLE to chop logic and spin senti-
ment in the face of facts. Admitted
as every sane man will admit-that the
purchase of the Philippine archipelago
was a mistake-that the islands will
cost more than they viii ever come to;
admitted likewise that the subjugation
OF people aspiring to independence is
nn-American and subversive of every
national tradition, one supreme fact re
mains. The inhabitants Of the Philip
pines are resisting with armed force the
military power of the United States.
Rightly or wrongly-ethically or I'M
ethically---a majority and very large
majority, Of the American people de-
mand that such armed resistance be
crushed out before the main issue can
be discussed at all. So long as there is
single man on the island of Luzon
who, with arms in his hands defes this
nation, it Is impossible that there shall
be any move toward Philippine indie
pendence. The men who think other
wise-who imagine that the people oil
this country will consent to negotiate
under the shadow OF coercion are ig.
norant of American history and Of
American people.
Judge Tarvin, Senator Tillman and
the other orators who ad vocate the
withdrawal OF the United States forces
from the Philippines In the face o.
armed opposition know in their heart:
that the thing Is impossible. What |,
more these gentlemen would not con,
sent to such proceedingi il the decision
lay with them. for the stock from which
Judge Tarvin and Senator Tillmar
sprung does not retreat under fire, az
It has demonstrated from 1776 down tc
the SPANS american war. They are
talking for political effect and they are
making an objectionable blunder.
As for the assertion OF Congressman
Lentz that Aguinaldo is Malay Pat.
rick Henry, the declar its0n is a politi.
II defamation run mad. Emilio Aguin-
aldo is no more like Patrick Henry
than he is like Guatama Buddha. There
may be and there doubtless are, in the
Philippines men, who In patriotism,
virtue and devotion rival the great Vir-
glniau, but Emilio Aguinsldo Is not one
of them. A scurvy, bribe-taking ras-
GAIA rascal SO dirty that he swindled
his fellow rascals out Of their share Q!

The Trust Conference at Chicago
came to close last Saturday without
accomplishing anything except to show
that the workingmen of the country
are violently opposed to all forms Of
monopoly; while the capitalistic class of
the East is inclined to question the
contention that great corporations are
in themselves an evil. The question,
however. was not discussed on It's mer-
its and no resolutions were adopted to
show the strength OF the opposing fac
tions. A few prominent men were Civ
en- an opportunity to air their oratory,
and everybody probably went home
again with exactly the same convic-
lions that they had before attending.
While the conference was entirely nom
partisan, it was notable fact that the
the leaders of the opposing factions

on the one side, and Bourke Cochran
Of New York on the other.

The Nevada State ~ Fair is in pro-
gress at Reno this week. When an APP
preparation of SO, 900 was made by the
last Legislature to help defray the ex-
penses of this so-called fair for 1899 and
1900, We made the charge that Ii was
not deserving of State aid, being moth
ing but a racing tournament, and so
far as we can judge from the columns
of our Reno exchanges, our contention
is being verified by facts. At any rate,
not the least effort has been made by
the management to advertise the fair
ln this part of the State, nsr has the
slightest encouragement been given TO
the people OF Eastern Nevada to exhibit
their products. II any premiums have
been offered, we have not heard OF them.
Probably it took all the money to fix
up the track and buildings, while the
gate receipts go for purses. But of
course, the people OF Reno have got to
be amused, and If they cannot afford to
pay for it themselves, the State is in
duty bound to help them out.

PROCRASTINATION
WAITED TOO LONG TO STRIKE
bOer Ultimatum Mas united British Nat
and Stimulated Military rrePara-
tiOn-NO More feace Talk.

NEW YORK, Oct. ia dispatch tc
the Tribune from London says:
President Kruger, finding it impos.
sible to hold back his peasant war.
riors had attempted to bring on a wal
without delay. Waiting to draw Mr.
Chamberlain into a premature disclos.
ure Of fresh demands which could b,
denounced as contrary to the conven.
ton Of 1884, he has ordered his secre.
tary Of state to send an ultimatum
for the immediate withdrawal Of troops
and for the suspension OF military prep
arations. The dispatch closes with a
clumsy attempt to construe a refusal
to comply with the demand as a formal
declaration Of war by the British gov.
ernment.
The news is received here with
Amusement by the imperial ofticers,who
perceive that Kruger has delivered
himself into their hands, since the re-
spons!bility Of war must rest with the
government which sends out 80 per-
emptory summons to cvacuate South
Africa and then set Its own soldiers
In motion.
This dispatch is well calculated by its
contempuous terms and its lack Of
reason to unite the British nation.
There can be no more peace talk in
any quarter and the liberals will join
forces with the unionists IN support
ing active war measures. A great stir
Of military preparations has already
begun. An enormous amount Of trans-
ports is in readiness to sail and the
departure Of Sir Redvers Butler with
an army corps win be hastened.
The favorte theory among military
officers is that Sir Redvers' advance
will be through the capital Of the
Orange Free State, that the Boer army
will be ultimately drawn into that
quarter and that the rational forces
will cut off It's retreat. The ultimate
plan of campaign is less important
than the early stage Of hostillties when
the British forces will be outnumbared
by the Dutch allies and in danger Of
with a serious reverse. Kru-
ger, however, with his perverse talent
for inertia seems to have waited too
long before striking the first blow
