ARE ASSAYS RIGHT?
1T IS ALLEGED THAT THOSE
MADE ARE NOT UNIFORM.
COMMON STANDARD DEMANDED
The Mine Owner am Prospector Want
Certificates That Meet Chem
ical and Commercial
Requirements.

Assay returns as made by the public
assayers are not always satisfactory in
for, says the Mining and Scientific Press.
The difficulty is that they do not state
the facts directly that it was the pur-
pose of the assay to determine. lndi-
rectly the figures given do state the
facts, but it is necessary to make calcu-
lations on them and introduce elements
not stated to arrive at the meaning of
the assay.
The difficulty seems to be in the two
points of view from which the assay
figures are considered. The metallurgist
figuring on his plant or his process
wants to know the full metal contents
Of the ore and the full commercial values
in order to have standard with which
to compare estimated or actual results.
The prospector and the mine owner
want to know what the ore will sell for
in order to know what the mine is
worth The practice of the public as
sayers is not uniform. Some give GER
tificates of return that are satisfactory
from the metallurgiSt's point of view.
Some give certificates of assay that
might be termed compromises. They do
not fully satisfy the requirements of
either point of view.
The present form of returns is to
some extent survival from the early
days of Western metal mining, when
metal production was gold and silver
bullion which the mints would buy, less
refining charges. at coinage values. The
present wide extension of the mining in
dustry, including lead and copper and
a large number of metals and minerals
Of lesser commercial Importance. has
brought in source of complication af

DISHONEST POLITICIAN.

you see, l was in politics then and
was writing political letters.
That was the comment made by Sena-
tor Scott when questioned as to whether
he promised G. A. r. officers that Evans
would be removed if the G. A. R. would
support Mckinley. Honest men. in and
out of politics, believe that in politics
men are under as much obligation to tell
the truth as in other matters, and as
much bound to keep a political promise
as any other sort Of promise. 1t Is such
remarks as Senator Scott's that cause
men to lose faith in public men. They
ought to lose faith in and repudiate such
politicians as Mr.. Scott, but a distinction
should be drawn between the honorable
men in politics and men who think any
thing is fair in politics.

WAR IS HELL.

Recently much has been said in the
press Of this country about the wicked
ness Of the British who have burned the
houses and crops of the Beers. The criti-
cism has not been too severe-if severe
enough. But the London National Review
says that folks who live in glass houses
should not throw stones. 1t reviews the
War Between the States and shows that
the Federal army was guilty of burning
mills, farm buildings, crops and agricul-'

instances that are entirely analogous
with the Boer War.

THE DAY WE CELEBATE.

The News and Observer greets its read
ers today with handsome edition,
printed in crimson, in keeping with the
Glorious Fourth of July. II is the day OF
the birth of the Republic--the day that
our fathers resolved to be free On the
first page we print the full text of the
Declaration Of independence and two
timely and able articles about the most
important civil document ever penned by
the hand of man. This Declaration ought
to be read every year in the schools.
The article on 'sTfow Raleigh Used to
Celebrate the Fourth is commended to
the consideration and emulation of the
people of the capital city. We are told
that it was celebrated always with en-
thusiasm and lively demonstrations or
patriotism until the War Between the
States That custom ought to be re-
vived and we desire to say in red ink
that hereafter Raleigh ought to make
this a red-letter day in its history There
is no city where the love of the flag is
stronger and where the people have more
love for the country over which it proudly
floats.
The South has its great celebrations
and fire. works at Christmas; the North
on the Fourth Of July. We would like to
see both days made eyentful in North
Carolina, and we would like on every
Fourth to have the immortal Declaration
read at the foot of Washingtons monu-
ment by the best elocutionist in the State,
followed by patriotic GRAFTON by the
States first orator. Then games and
sports would follow as fitting finale.
But to have sports alone is to lose the
influence of the lesson the day teaches
upon the children who must soon either
be inspired by the Declaration or by
sentiments less lofty and uplifting.

nearly all of them are in four coun-

This is the most gigantic fraud ever
