ToNoPAA GROWING RICHER.

AS development work at Tonopah
progresses it becomes more and
more evident that this group of
mines is one of the richest in the
world today. Statistics that are of
undoubted correctness are coming
in and each is of more roseat hue
than its immediate predecessor.
The surface rock was immensely
rich, but was thought to have no
depth. Now shafts are down
hundred and more feet and the ore
crows in value, while the leads show
no sign Of pinching. Some, on the
contrary, are growing wider
President Anderson, in an inter
view with a Reno Journal reporter,
says that there are not the only pro-
missing mines in the world there, but
the best people to find anywhere are
congregated in the new town.
Scarcely cross word has been
spoken since the town was struck.
The men are all honest, square
people. Oral bargains are the only
ones made and witnesses are not
necessary. Although there are
dozens of leases given to the tribut-
ers there is not scratch of the pen
between the company and the leasers.
The company receives rs per cent of
the net proceeds, and this sum
amounts to S. 900 a day. These
leases expire on the last day of
December, after which the company
will Systematically develop the
lodges.
Two triple compartment shafts
will be sunk Immediately to a depth
of at least 500 feet. They will be
situated 2100 feet apart, where they
will cut all the ledges by crosscut-
ting toward each other.
Atpresent the company is work
ing the Clark shaft, which is down
over hundred feet and shows seven
feet of ore averaging a thousand
dollars ton. Every foot of depth
brings $400 to the surface.
The camp now includes 1S5 build
ings, including tents.
The company is perfecting ar
rangements to bring water to town,
sufficient to supply the camp and
run 20 stamp mill.
The ore continues to be free mill
ing and is expected to remain so
until water level is reached. A
smelter will then be brought into
requisition either on the Carson or
Truckee rivers.

MCKINLEY MEMORIALS.

Quite number of Mckinley memo
rails have been proposed-probably a
dozen or more, taking into account
all having some support. How many of
these proposed memorials will ever be
any nearer completion than they are
at present? In the first place where is
the money to come from? The purpose
is of course to collect it from the peo-
ple-that is, dependence will be placed
upon voluntary contributions. 1t may
be that the memorial proposed for
Washington will be erected by Con-
gress, though it will not be so easy a
matter to get the money from the gov
eminent as many now think it will
be. If we understand the plans of those
who have a Washington memorial in
contemplation it is proposed that it
shall cost about $4,000, 900.
When it comes to appropriating that
amount of money the question will be
asked whether it would not be we'll to
erect a monument to Lincoln or Grant
or some other civil war celebrity at the
national capital before raising one to
Mckinley. OF course there will be no
issue as to whether Mckinley deserves
a monument. 1t will be admitted that
he does, but ii will be commended that
there are others just as deserving who
should have a monument before Nc
Kinley is given one. 1t would not be
surprising therefore if there should be
delay in appropriating a large sum of
money from the national treasury for
a Mckinley memorial.
1t is said that the plans for a monu-
ment at Canton call for about 81, OOO.-
900. 1t will take a long time to raise
that amount Immediately after the
death of President Mckinley it looked
as If almost any amount could be OBJ
tanned for Mckinley memorials, but as
time passes people begin to think there
were other great men to whose memo
ries monuments have not yet been
erected, and that the first duty is to
them. 1t is not improbable therefore
that ii will be years before any great
monument will be erected to the MEM
DRY of President Mckinley. But that
monuments will be erected in his honor
there is no doubt-monuments that
will express the high appreciation in
which he was held by the people.

According to a newspaper story,
there is probability that Mr. John d.
Rockefeller will withdraw from the
church he has heretofore affiliated with
in Cleveland, O., and build up another
church, because of differences with the
pastor of the older congregation. Mr.
Rockefeller. according to the story, is
patronizing young minister and pro-
poses to assist in establishing a church
body for him. The idea of men who can
afford 1t having churches of their own
is not new. In Beaufort county, South
Carolina, in the days when planters
were the rich men of the country,
planter who was an Epscopalian and
the principal supporter of the parish
church, st. Luke's, and with whom the
rector made his home. got into a dis
pute with his friend and guest on
story goes. he built church, Metho-
dist in faith-a denomination then Just

he would drive to the church on sun
days and. taking his stand in front
of il, would call on those who were on
their way to worship at st. Luke's 10

erected by the planter has long since
disappeared. but the site OF It is stll

MILLIONS IN CLAIMS.

The act of Congress creating the
| Spanish Claims Commission limited the
time during which claims might be
| filed with the commission, without the
special permission of Congress, to Oc-
tober S, 1901, which was last Tuesday.
In round numbers claims aggregating
! $50 500 900 have been filed. There is no
assurance. however, that the total of
claims may not be much larger, since
Congress has the power to admit still
other claims, which were not submitted
to the commission within the time
limit. Having in mind the manner and
facility with which private" pension
bills are railroaded through Congress.
it would not be surprising to see that
body accepting and passing for pay
ment a number of Spanish war claims
that might have stood a poor chance
of acceptance by the commission
where responsibility can be more read
lily and directly fixed. At every session
of Congress pension claims that have
been turned down by the Pension Com
missioner are taken up by Congress
men and pushed through by g-rolling
methods.
At all events, it is assured that these
Spanish war claims are going to cost
the government pretty penny. There
are reasons for thinking that many If
not most of the claimants have made
their bills large in anticipation of
49, Oh h.
an average of so per cent, there would
still be an aggregate bill of $25, 200, 900
to pay. The heirs of every man who
was lost on the Inflated Maine hare
filed claims with the commission. The
counsel for the commission, however,
holds that these claims cannot be
properly considered by that tribunal,
that they should rightly go to the pen
sion department, the men having lost
their lives in the military service of
the government. The Spanish Claims
Commission. it is held by counsel, was
created for the specific and sole pur-
pose of adjudicating the claims of
American citizens for property dam
aged or destroyed in Cuba during the
progress of the revolution. Should this
contention be sustained. it would cut
down the total of the claims by at
least the amount of the claims of the
heirs of the Maine victims. 1t would
also relieve the Commission from go
ing into the question of responsibility
for the loss of the Maine.
An effort is being made to get Philip
pine claims, also, before the Commits
sion. Several claims for property
losses in those islands have been filed.
1t is not thought such claims will be
admitted. The attorneys for the claim
ants, however. are going to make
strong effort to get them in.

A SERENE BEGGAR.

Indiscrimnate aims giving undoubt-
edly tends to increase pauperism. The
more freely people give to mendicants
the greater the number of beggars
there will be. In every community
there are people who deserve to be as
sisted but the number of undeserving
who are assisted is probably greater
than that of the deserving. There
are plenty of people who will not
make an effort to help themselves as
long as they can get anybody to help
them, and the more they are helped
the more helpless they become. At
last they come to think that the world
owes them living and they feel that
they have a grievance if the public
does not willingly support them
The experience of some beggars
shows that the world is very sympa-
thetic. They not only live we'll by
begging, but they accumulate money.
A day or two ago a man was arrested
in New York city as a Vagrant. He
appeared to be a healthy and strong
man, and the police saw no reason
why he should be persistent beggar.
At the police Station it was found that
he had on three suits of clothes, no
one of which was of much value. The
pockets of each suit however, were
we'll filled with money. They contain
ed more than a thousand pennies,
many dollars in nickles. dimes and
quarters and a great roll of bank bills
The amount of money in his pockets
was $2,017. When questioned the beg
gar said that he had collected the
money by begging and that the public
was very sympathetic. He informed
the magistrate that he made as much
as $1,000 a year by appealing to the
public for assistance.
1t paid this man to be beggar. He
could not have earned $1,000 a year
probably in any honest calling. BY
begging he could live as well as a man
of fortune. Doubtless there are III
every city beggars who live better
than many of those who contribute to
their support. They do not intend to
try to assist themselves as long as
there are those who are willing to
provide for them.
Many of those who give to charity.
without inquiring whether or not theil
contributions are used in assisting the
deserving poor, do more harm than
good. though they congratulate them.
selves upon their charities, and feel
that they are better than their neigh
bors because of their larger contribu-
tions to beggars.
