is that the government requires that
seventy five per cent of all labor

Silver in the Dumps.

Away up in the mountains Of
Colorado is the great silver mining
camp of Aspin. For years it was
known as one of the richest camps
in the world, not even being second
to Leadville. In the years between
1888 and 1893 it had population
of fully $4,000 people, but the great
slump in silver caused thousands to
emigrate to the gold fields of the
state and today there are not more
than 1900 souls in the camp. The
recent slump in silver has about
decided the mine owners to close
all the silver mines in the camp
and if this is done there will be
great destitution among the fami.
lies of the miners. The Mollie Glib
son and the Smuggler. two of the
best known mines of Colorado, are
located in this camp. The Mollie
Gibson is closed down and is food
ed up to point where it threatens
to flood the Smuggler. 1t is i'm
possible to work these mines at
profit with silver below sixty cents.
In the discussion of the silver ques-
tion, on the repeal of the Sherman
law, the Mollie Gibson was cited as
a mine that produced silver for
less than twenty cents an ounce.
The cond tions of that mine now
show that it could at no time pro-
duce the white metal for less than
fifty cents, and now that there is
millions blocked out it cannot be
converted into bullion at a profit.
Aspin is not the only camp that
silver depreciation has killed. All

one time were bustling hives of in

The other day we noted in a Los

with a party who had been pros

stated that the laws Of Mexico were
far more favorable to the prospec-

Now this is all bosh. The laws of
the United States are the most lib.
eral of any of the nations of earth.
In Mexico, before you can even be-
gin prospecting you will have to
first obtain permission of the gov
ernment, for which fee of three
dollars is exacted. When a claim
is staked it must be denounced,

The newspapers of Arizona are
up in arms against Senator Bard
of California. That gentleman has
stated his position on statehood for
the territories and in doing so went
far out of his way to utter a libel
on Arizona and her people. His
arraignment bristles with falsehood
and misrepresentation. He says
that the mines of Arizona are being
worked out and are failing day by
day; that no new mines are being
brought in and that the territory
shows signs of decadence. He al
leges that the population today is
less than shown by the census of
1900. Now, everyone who is ac.
quainted with the territory and con-
versant with the existing condi-
tions knows that Bard is talking
through his frontal oriface for the
simple purpose of making himself
solid with his eastern friends who
are opposed to further extension
of the power of the west in the
United States Senate. Bard has
opposed every interest of his Cali
fornia constituency in his senseless
opposition to the admission of Ari-
zona and it will be a pleasure to the
entire people Of the Golden state
when he is relegated to the obscur-
ity whence he came.

dustry, are now dead and the pop
ulation driven to some new indus
try for livelihood. Practically all
the silver now produced in the
world is a by-product of copper,
gold or lead. And following the
depreciation of the bullion value OF
silver the millions of yen dumped
into the markets of Europe by the
Chinese government in payment OF
its war indemnity has deprecated
the coin value of the metal to such
an extent that it is presenting a
serious phase to European powers,
France, Germany and Russia have
billions of dollars in silver issues
and if the value of the metal re-
mains at its present price their
treasures will be drained of every
dollar of gold. Silver will be re-
fused as a coin of redemption, even
though the treasury of France re-
serves the right to pay its obliga-
tions in either gold or silver In
view of Mexico and other countries
adopting gold basis Europe will
have to sooner or later demand an
international agreement for the
coinage of silver and a maintaining
of the parity of the two metals. 1t

Many of the Colorado cyaniding
plants are handling ores at a cost
of less than 70 cents per ton and a
failing loss of but so cents per ton.
A plant of this character in Mohave
county ought to handle ores at a
cost of not more than one dollar per
ton and a failing loss of practically
the same as in Colorado. In many
localities we have big deposits of
gold-bearing ores that will run on
an average fully five dollars per
ton and these ores ought to b, ham
died nicely at big profit. The
mining will not cost over one dol
lar per ton and the plant can be
put up on the mine. Below King
man there is q deposit of ore more
than three hundred feet in width
that averages more than five dol,
lars. Plenty of water can be had
for all purposes, The railroad
passes over the property and fuel

FURRY OF SNOW WAS

Standing on this bluff one looks straight
across to the reservation hill in westerly
direction Beyond this hill lies the White
river valley to the east. Descending from
Muckleshoot some of the roads lead down
to the White river, while others run in a
southerly direction to Enumclaw, Buckley
and adjacent places. 1t now seems certain
that Tracy lay hidden on the bluff behind
Portauts farm until dark, then crossed
the Muckleshoot reservation, went over its
summit and thence down to Enumclaw,
where he was seen Sunday. The fact that
all the other courses which he might have
chosen were we'll guarded at the time,
without doubt caused him to move south.
Repeats Time-Worn Ruse.
But when Tracy arrived at Enumciaw
he found that escape from that place was
also cut off, and then he repeated his time
worn trick. He fed back to the reserva-
tion hill, while after vain pursuit the
posse went off helter skelter to Palmer.
Not road on the back track was guarded.
Miles of country without single guard,
and the only thing he had to look for was
discovery by some farmer, the very thing
which happened. 1t is admitted, however,
by all that even If the common thorough
fares winding up the side of the reserva-
ton hill had been protected, Tracy would
have succeeded.
Hundreds of paths run through the tall
timber and dense undcrbrush ON its sides
and summit Abandoned roads still good
enough for foot travel are found on all
sides.
These intersect and twist through the
forest in so circuitous way that the only
wonder is that Tracy himself, expert
woodsman though he be, did not take the
wrong direction. One of the difficulties
presented by the roads is the immense
number of trails. These are Chinese
puzzle. Some come to sudden end.
Others have their beginning in half
dozen similar paths and end in as many
more. Even the oldest inhabitants know
little about these trails, and but small
number of the Indians on the reservation
are we'll acquainted with their tortuous
courses. How they came into existence is
a problem. Adding to the safety of the
hill as a place of retreat are the aban-
doned farms, old houses, shacks and rot
ting log cabins, which are found in the
depths of the forest in large numbers. In
any one of these places the murderer could
lie concealed while an army of men
searched for him, and never be in much
danger. To this retreat Tracy fled when
the bloodhounds were set on his track at
Enumclaw. s e>
