Success.

Nothing succeeds like success
and it takes nerve, energy and
a little money coupled with
business principals to succeed.
The Handle Factory began its
life last December in this CITY
with big hill before it to face.
The hill has been graded down
until there is just enough grade
to keep the traces taunt and
make the Managers. Humburg
and Maxwell determined TO
reach the top, and take a view
of the pleasant valley. Success.
that is just beyond. Small or
ders for various kinds of hand
les have become numerous. but
the largest one was received
this week, 1t is for 500 worth
of Handles aud from the Sligo
Iron Co. st. Louis. one of the
Oldest and largest concerns in
the Mississippi valley. 1t IS
more than likly that in Il short
time the gentlemen will branch
out a little. by putting in ma.
chinery for the manufacture o f
Egg Cases. When they do. they
will easily find Il market for
their product.

Gov. DOckery Calls Upon Re
publicans To Prove
Charges.

JeleTSOn ClLy. MO-. aug. -
Governor Dockery gave out the
following touight:
The editor of the Globe.
Democrat-In your issue of this
date. under the caption Of
Crooked State Flnancier ing.
you make the charge that the
financial affairs Of the state
government Of Missouri have
been so conducted during dem.
ocratic control as to divert the
taxes paid by the people for tn e
purpose of paying the debt an d
the interest thereon from their
proper channel. and that the
bookkeeping of Missouri under
democratic control is a sort of
dynastic mystery, and that GER
tain alleged extraordinary
contradictions can only be eX
planned by a searching eXami
nation of the books.
For more than year past
it has been the policy of your
paper to charge dishonesty and
inetticiency on the part of dem
ocratic management of the
state school fund OF Missouri.
This position, however, has
been so thoroughly exploded,
by reason of the high charac-
ter of men. both democrats an
republicans, who initia ted the
existing system Of school fun d
certificates. that no additiona
answer is necessary to this par
ticular charge. But your asser-
ton that the money paid by the
people for the purpose OF pay
lug the interest and reducing
the bonded Indebtedness of the
state has oeen diverted from its
legitimate channel is new one
in the partisan politics of this
state.
ONE TESTIMONIAL NOT DISPUT-
ED.
Since the democrats have
been in control in Missouri, the
fiscal affairs of this state have
been Dieunially examined by Il
non-partisan legislative COM
mittee, and in each instance the
report has been unanimous as to
the honest and efficient manage
ment OF our public funds.

Some little negro children
have been making it point to
spend most of their time play
ing at the mineral well. At
times it would be almost impos.
sible to get to the pipe for
them. They would straddle the
pipe rub their hands over the
mouth of it and played with the
cups till they broke the brass
chains and then the drinking
apparatus took wings. Of
course they have perfect right
to go there and get water, but
they have no right TO remain
there in the way of others aud
to play with things as they do.

they have to be chucked into

MINES and MINING ste: I'M I'M THE NORTHWEST

they are kept busy raising the precious
ore to the surface and conveying tim
bers down to take it's place. One would
think that such constant work on an ore
body would soon exhaust 1t. but the ore
bodies of the Butte district are not built
on the geological plan of exhaustion. For
20 years some of them have been Yield
ing ore at the rate of 1000 tons per day
and the reserves are at present seen to
be as large as they We're the day the
first shot was fired There is one differ
ence, however. When the mines were
first opened the ore was nearer the sur
face: now it is necessary to so eper
for it,
Great Changes Made.
During the last half a dozen years
many great changes and improvements
have been made in the surface equipment
of the large mines here Realizing the
fact that the ore veins extended many
thousand feet (perhaps miles) into the
earth. the large companies years ago
substituted mammoth hosting ma
chinery for that of a lighter pattern and
made other substantial improvements
The old single deck cages have given
way to the more modern decker and the
old cables. some of which We're round
have made their last run in the deep
shafts of large companies. The old
style wooden gallows frame is also a
thing of the past. At each Of the large
mines can be seen a huge steel frame
towering 20 or leo feet above the collar
of the shaft. Each one is an Eifel tower
carefully and substantially bolted at all
of the joints and resting on founda-
ton as solid as the rock of Gibraltar.
Railroad improvements have kept pace
with those at the mines. There are
tracks in all directions. each of the large
mines having a connection either at the
ore bin or lumber department or both.
The improvements in a few years have
been wonderful-so great. in fact. that
one who once knew every foot of the hill
district and had not visited it recently
would not recognize the place now.
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-11-04

mining and metallurgy was practiced in
many localities in Mexico long before
the California discoveries gave American
mining it's great impetus.
These operations We're carried on under
the supervision of the priesthood, and
for the benefit of the church.
At that time the population of Mexico
was fanatically religious: therefore.
anything pertaining to the interest Of
the church would attract the interest of
the public at large.
The ecclesiastical mining plants did
not require special and exclusive class
of operatives. but employed any and
all of the communicates who were not
otherwise occupied.
1t follows that nearly all the laborers
of the country would, at some time or
other in their lives. be employed in
mining operations.
In later years the American and Ger
man miners have made Mexico field
of operations. and have installed COM
paratively recent methods.
These foreign enterprises have been no
respecters of persons, as regards their
native laborers, employing the first per-
son who appeared to fill vacancy;
and since few dollars in hand makes
the average Mexican ldDOIeT LOO ITCH "
work. vacancies were not infrequent.
From all of which it follows that the
conditions have been favorable for gem
eral dissemination of practical mining
knowledge in Mexico.
Now. the Mexican. while not Of strong
mentality, has the faculty of observation
strongly developed by close contact with
nature. and has the capacity for accurate
imitation characteristic of all semi
civilized peoples.
Hence we may expect to find him
good off-hand judge of ore, quite skillful
in tests with the ''batea" and horn spoon.
and even able to supplement these with
rough roasting and amalgamating opera
tons.
In nearly every Mexican home. how
ever lowly. one will find specimens of
ore, with which the children play while
they listen to the talk of their elders
about the fortunes which have been
ga aimed by the turning of stone.
In country over every foot of which
men of the above character have been
roaming for generations, either directly
in search of mineral or as herders. yet
ever with an eye open for piedras ricas.
there is small chance of there rema ming
anything which can be seen at surface.
