Legislation Against Anarchy.

As the time for the conVenins OF
Congress draws near there has been
considera bile talk about the passage of
laws looking to the suppression of an
archy. There can be little doubt but
what some legislation of this charac
ter will be enacted. Members of Con-
sress, however. have been somewhat
reticent in expressing any opinion as
to the form this should take. Indeed
while there is practically no differ
ence of opinion on the general ques
ton. there are very widely divergent
views as to the precise scope and
character of the measures which would
be the most effective in stamping out
the gospel of assassination and social
chaos in this free land of ours.
Many members of Congress have re-
fused to express an opinion on the
subject until they have had oppor-
unity in connection with their asso-
ciatcs. to thoroughly canvass the mat
ter in all its bearings. We have no
doubt but what law bearing upon this
matter will be passed at the coming
session of Congress. and We have faith
to believe that it will be. in it's final
form, a better one than any that has
Yet been proposed.
While as we have said many mem
bers of Congress. and especially those
who will he the most concerned in the
final determination of the matter. have
not been willing SO far in advance to
commit themselves TO any definite pol
icy, there have been some exceptions
TO the rule Three short interviews
with members of the Indiana delega
ing;on Post. the question asked in
each instance was:
DO YOU believe that anarchy in
America can be cured by legislation?
II %, what sort Of legislation WoulI
YOU advise
Senators Fairbanks ana Beverage
declined to give 2ny expression on the
subject at tni> time Repres -ntative
HcmeuWuy said: 1T tIn b. limited.
There should be legislation that all an
arChisis who are not citizens of the
United states should b. sent back to

Two Islands. as far apart as possible
should lie SCI aside for the purpos-. ana
all male anarchists VIII" are citizens of
the United States should he banisheG
to one of the islands and all female an
archists to the other.
Congressman Watson said: Il believe
that anarchists should be punished by
deportation to an island in the Philip
pines
Congressman Crumpdcker expressed
himself as follows: While do not
believe that legislation is cure. il
may be Il palliative. 1t can. in large
degree. suppress anarchism and miti-
gate its dangerous aspects. Legislati ton
holding citizens strictly responsible for
the abuse of constitutional privileges,
vigorously executed. will be the best
sncurity that the government can af-
ford. The rights of speech and the
press cannot be abridged but those
rights may be regulated where the
safety Of The public demands it, Free
dom of speech does not carry with it
the right to counsel murder and trea-
SON.

perfect avalanche Of bills bearing upon
this matter are sure to be introduced

sidered in committee and the result
will probably be measure that will

Activity Ia the Virtue District.

For some time the most serious prob
lem that faced the operators Of the new
ly organised Uucle Dan Gold Mining
property In the Virtue district, was the
lack Of water for milling purposes. A
large well was sunk in the gulch and an
ample supply Of water has been secured.
+. w. Thompson was in the city yester-
day and he stated in connection with
this item Of news that there would now
be plenty Of water for all practical pur-
poses. MIR. Thompson said that six men
were at work on the property In winxe,
and they were finding exceedingly rich
ore. On both walls Is good pay ore
and II IL getting richer ~ the develop
ment work extends. The owners Of
this property hope to have the mine in
operation within ninety days. Robert
Fullerton, the veteran prospector, who
located the Mammoth mine and sold it
to local capitalists, came into town yes
terlay from his property In the Virtue
district. 81 never saw no much activity
in the Virtue district. There are hun.
dresis Of prospectors at work and the
sounds Of shooting remind one Of old
mining districts. l have prospected all

other parts Of the west and say, can.

Within the next few days crOsscut
tnnnel Of 800 feet, which may be extend.
ed to 500 feet, will be commenced on the
property Of the Oro Mining company.
This claim lies between the White
Swan and the Uncle Dan properties and
joins the latter. The contract for this
work will be let as soon as Secretary
Pearson returns home from u business

property they have erected five-stamp
mill, equipped with modern machinery,
such as concentrator, ore crusher and
roaster, and all the necessary appliances
for handling the ore from their mine to
the best advantage. All of this machin-
cry is propelled by water power, and so
arranged that one man can superintend
every department.
On their claim they have three well
defined parallel lodges. One of these
ledges il about two hundred and fifty
feet in width and the width OF the other
two IL not yet known. The ore from
each of these ledges assays well, the ore
averaging about $l5 per ton, while con-
siderable ore has been taken out that as.
sayed several hundred dollars per ton.
The ore from this property is easily
mined, requiring only the labor OF three
men in the mine to keep the mill in con-
tinuOus operation, reducing at the rate
of from twelve to fifteen tons per day.
They have had their plant in operation
since July 4th, and expect to make their
first cleanup, since adding the concen.
traitor and roasting furnace, ut the ex-
piration Of thirty days run.
The owners, Messrs. Hines Il Hclmer,
have had opportunities to bond their
property to eastern capitalists, but hav-
ing gone to the expense Of putting in all
the necessary machinery to successfully
reduce the ore from their mine, their
property is not for sale at the present
time. They expect to continue its oper-
alton, and will Ike handsomely rewarded

II will be remembered that they pur.
