NEWS OF MINES AND MARKETS

MAN FROM NEW CHlCAGo-HlS
VIEWS ON ALASKA.

Frank Durand. mining man from New
Chicago. is i'll town for short time and
says the situation in the mining district of
Windsor OH Flint mountain is in prom
ising phase at present. Mr. Durand has
recently organized IL claims there and is
putting ahead developing work in Wig
orous fashion.
The district has been the scene OF oper-
atons since 500 the boring OF tunnels
into Flint r;ountain for the exploitation of
the gold-bcaring lcdges it contains forming
the principal work. Shipments of ore are
made occasionally, and while 10 bonanzas
have been unearthed as yet, the signs are
very hopeful
Mr.. Durand recently visited Alaska and
he takes a very enthusiastic view of that
country. In response to an inquiry con
cerning what he thought of the Alaskan
mining fields he said:
Il think that mining country is great.
There is no limit to the possibilities of
Alaska. | have been there several times,
and it is only little time since | re-
turned from there and every visit make
convnces me that it is bound TO become
one of the greatest mining regions on
earth"
Concerning the Windsor district Mr..
Durand said: II have just organized !,
claims down there in one concern. and |
have great faith in the future of the mines.
We are not advertising the district to any
extent Tor the reason that we would rather

SEVEN DEVILS IS
A COMING MINE
GOLD ORE WHICH WILL MILL TWEEN
TY DOLLARS TO THE TON HAS
BEEN UNEARTHED.
SPECIAL TO rnr INTER MOUNTAIN.

Salt Lake, Jan. to.-C. i. Massey, one of
the heavy holders Of Seven Devils (Idaho)
gold propositions. came in yesterday and
put tsp at the kuutsford Mr.. Massey has
been for some time superintendent of the
Iron Springs mine at Iron Springs. and
has developed that property to the dimen-
sons of bonanza.
The work at the mine has developed
oc-foot ledge of gold ore, which will mill
$40 to the ton across the vein The vein
has been opened up for several hundred
feet and an immense amount of milling
ore has been blocked out. A conccntrat-
ing mill of 100 tons capacity is OIL the
way and will be set up at once. A shaft
is to be sunk to develop the lower levels
and hoist is now on the way for that
purpose.
The property is owned by the Iron
Springs Mining company and is one of
the big things in that part of Idaho. In
speaking OF other properties, he said that
the Seller Ford Mining company, short
distance from the Iron Springs mine. has
opened n three and a half foot vein of
high grade gold ore. and has recently
installed cotton cyanding mill. The
Rankin mine is also developing into
great property. a ledge of gold bearing
quartz being opened up which runs from
50 to $roo to the ton.
A mill is in course OF construction on
this property. which will become a great
shipper of bullion. OF the copper mines,
Mr.. Massey said there was not much do
ing as the distance from railroad trans
portation made it impossible to ship. lie
said, however, that a united action
among mine-owners of the Seven Devils
district was being made. and that fnan-
cial aid would be offered the z. I. K n.
company. and it was hoped road
would be into the mines in the course
of year. A big combination of Boston
and New York capitalists had lately en-
tered the district. and were gaining control
OF some big copper properties. which
looked as il a road was assured.
The Butte inter mountain., 1903-01-10

mining men of note have visited the mines
on Birch creek and the showing encoun-
tered in nearly every case has been most
encouraging. 1t will be no surprise to
the sangune prospectors of the section to
see several claims opened up during the
coming summer by men with ample capi-
tai behind them. Quite large number of
carloads of ore have been shipped from
the Queen during the past few years and
many of the blocks of ore were of enor-
nous size, showing that the vein is no mar
row, knife blade affair.
George Jewell and his partner of this
city are the owners of extensions Of the
Queen-the Whale and the Los Angeles.
The development on these claims shows
that the vein is continuous and that some
good ore will be produced by these gen
tlemen with but little more development.
Another extension of the same vein is the
SNOWFALL, also owned by Jewell & Co.
Some exceptionally fine ore has recently
been encountered in this property, as well
as on the Whale.
On the Los Angeles new shaft house
has recently been constructed. The Snow
ball joins the Queen on the west-and tho
best mill and smelter site in the district
adjons the SNOWFALL and is owned by
Mr.. Jewell and his partner.
O. Mast, Harry Stull, M. Heger.y and
others are also quite extensively inter
ested in the district and have number
OF promising properties which ought to,
and undoubtedly will, attract favorable
attention from capitalists before this year
has passed into history.

The corporation lawyers are now
arguing the recognition of the indie
pendence of Panama by Mr.. Roose-
welt from Constitutional standpoint,
and they cite eminent authorities to
show that the act of the President
amounted to a declaration of war
against Colombia, and as only Con-
gress can declare war, the Presidents
recognition of the independence of the
lsthmians was unconstitutional. But,
lawyer-like, they present only one
side of the case. They claim that no
State is justified in recognizing the in
dependence of a reyolted State, until
after there can be no question of the
success of the revolt, or after the par
ent State has acquiesced in the indie
pendence'of the revolted State. In sup
port of this they cite the action of the
United States when instructions
broke out in most of the Spanish States
of South America in 1910, when we
refused to interfere after years of
fighting, and when Spain had about
lost all hope of keeping her colonies;
they further cite the fact that Texas
declared her independence from Mex
leo in 1885, and we did not recognize
her in the family of nations until 1910,
years after it became apparent that
Mexico could not control her unruly
child, and they further refer to our
acquiescence in the cruelties of Spain
in Cuba, not to mention our COM
plant and claim that England had
violated her neutrality by recognizing
the Southern Confederacy. They Ger.
tainly make a great showing. But
what do other facts show? A little
over a. hundred years ogo, when we
wanted free navigation on the lower
part of the Mississippi through Span.
ish territory, Secretary of State Thorn
as jefferson insisted that we must
have it, and that it would be impossi,
BILE to answer for the forbearance of oul
western citizens. When France sue
ceeded Spain in the ownership of the
lower Mississippi, jefferson declared
that the free use of that stream was sc
indispensable that we cannot hesitate
to hazard our existence for it's m ain
tenance. In 1878 when a treaty be

The Courier. (Genoa, Nev.) 1899-1904, 1903-12-25

The S. F. Chronicle says the postal
scandals are non-partisan, and that
neither party can make any political
capital out of them. II also congrat-
ulates the Republican party in hav-
ing President in the chair who has
done all in his power to insure the con-
viction of the guilty, if conviction can
be had. This is all very true, and the
Republican party would be entitled to
the credit, if the party managers up
held the Presidents hand for doing it.
But things are beginning to look as
though New York wasn't going to
stand any such work. The men who
put up money to carry elections in
general don't do it as matter of patri-
otism, or even party pride; they do it
out of pure selfishness, with the hope
of reward only, sometimes, but nearly
all the time with absolute promise of
reward, and sometimes with a pledge
of reward, i. e., little portfolio in the
vest pocket. Roosevelt, succeeding to
the Presidency through the death of
Mckinley, is singularly free from such
entanglements, and being singularly
free man, any way, he is naturally
obnoxious to those who have been in
the habit of commanding presidential
conduct, by mere suggestion. Itseems
almost moral certainty that, if he is
nominated, he will be opposed at
the polls by the moneyed leaders of
his party, who will do all in their
power to force the nomination by the
Democrats of person acceptable to
them-like Mr.. Cleveland, for instance,
and they will put up all the money
required fn' his election. The south,
generally speaking, will vote for any
Democrat that can be elected. All
they want is the offices; they would
turn over the government entirely to
the corporations ifthey can only get
the offices. If Mr.. Roosevelt is to be
opposed by our natural enemies,
know of no moral law that obligates +.
Democrats to help them.
