Developing a Gold Mine.

Mines may be opened in several diff
ferent ways determined by the physi-
cal surroundings of the mine, but
whatever be the nature of the country
the initial steps taken are generally
the same, namely surface work; first
it is required to know the extent of
ore bodies on surface; the width of
vein and the distance it is traceable
on the surface. By making cross cuts,
trenches across the vein it's width is
determined, and by open cuts and
stripping the vein at different points
the distance is determined.
After this commences development
work prOper-driving tunnels and
sinking shafts which in plain words
means making openings into the rock
at those points where the vein occurs.
For this purpose steel drills are used
to drill holes into the hard rock.
These holes are then blasted with
giant powder (dynamite) resulting in
forming sometimes huge openings.
Drilling and blasting is continued ev-
cry day until the desired development
work has been done.
Owing to the precipitous noun
tains in the country of the EVA mine

BASCOM'S POSITION
Tells the Outlook What He Thinks About
Colleges Accepting Standard
Oil L0Ots

DR.. Bascom continues to "Stir up
the animals in the matter of Rookie
feller college endowments. 1t will be
remembered that some weeks ago The
Independent quoted excerpts from his
speech before the Minnesota teachers
meeting. The Outlook IN. Y.) under
took to defend the practice of permit
ting christian" colleges to accept
Standard Oil loot, because it is ''un-
tenable to trace the money to its
source and refuse to accept it if in
their (the trustees) judgment the
money has been acquired by the don
or by immoral methods" This in
spired DR.. Bascom to tell The Out
look what he thinks of the whole
matter, and he does it SO neatly that
to read it. He says:
81 find that your issue of January
10 contains criticism of the views
which | expressed in a recent western
trip. The facts are not correctly Civ
en-, but the question is fairly put and
squarely met. 1t is this: Is the pres
ident of a cOllege-usually the chief
figure in such a transaCtiOn-at liberty
to solicit or to receive the gifts Of a
millionaire whose money is known to
have been wrongfully secured? Such
an act seems to me to be CenSurable
and mischevOus My critic thinks,
with equal decision, the reverse. The
question is one of immediate moment.
The first affirmation by which the
criticism is made good is that such
gifts cannot be rejected without first
establishing a standard of business
morality, and that there is much va
riety in these standards. This state
of things. instead of being reason
why the head of an educational inSti-
tuition may be without d standard Of
business morality to guide his own
action and influence the action of
others, is the chief reason why he
should carefully frame and constantly
defend such a standard. 1t is not our
calling to give guidance where no
guidance is needed, but where it is
needed. We frame principles for the
very purpose of correction.
The second supporting considera-
ton is that, if such a standard is set
up, it is impossible to apply it in
specific cases. 1t is impossible for
boards of trustees to determine whe
ther wealth offered for public use has
been righteously earned. But the
question is, whether money that is
known to be unrighteously acquired is
to be solicited and accepted. The way
in which the wealth of the Standard
Oil company has been gained is no.
tOrous. Articles, books, the reports
of congressional committees for thirty
years, have made it so. No intelligent
man can plead ignorance. If | should
say to my class, Monopoly IS in it.
self a great wrong and can only be
established in connection with many
other wrongs" and one of the students
should ask, How about the Standard
Oil company" and | should respond
81 know nothing about the Standard
Oil company" | should escape the sus-
picion of being a fool only by the sus-
picion of being a rascal. The answer
is the same as that given before. 1t

are measured and samples secured for
assaying and testing, thus determin-
ing values. Samples of ore were taxi
en- at different points along the adit
tunnels and upraises of the EVA
mine each containing rich values.
Thus the enormous bodies of ore
blocked out from the tunnels, ETC.,
represents gold actually in sight ex-
ceeding two million dollars in high
and low grade ore.
Vincent j. Stedry, Broken Bow,
Neb.: You and The Commoner are
doing a great work for this country
and it will soon bear good fruit. Five
more each of such Independents and
Commoners throughout this country
would soon compel the plutes to cap
itulate. Do not lose courage, for when
the thing does come it will come like
mighty avalanche that will take
everything along with it.
Mrs. l. H. Doerstler, Carbonate, S.
D.: Your paper has a variety of
spicy writer's. We enjoy reading the
letters very much. You are edueat-
ing along the lines that will land you
and many Of your subscribers in the
socialist band wagon. You are doing
good work; do not get discouraged;
victory and justice for the people will
come.

The Ladies of the G. A. r. held their
first session of their annual cOnven-
ton at Central hall yesterday. There
were over $50 women present. The
morning session was devoted to greet
ings, appointment of committees, re-
port of officers and other routine BUSH
ness.
Mrs. Lyle Sander, of st. Paul, deliv-
cred the address of welcome, and Mrs.
Marilla Lee Stone, of Rush City, re-
sponded. The reports of the officers
showed that each department of the
order is in excellent condition, and that
the total membership in the state is
1900, an increase of 500 over last year.
The committees appointed We're the
following: Greeting to the G. A. R.,
Mrs. A. 7. Anderson, st. Paul; Miss M.
G. Kingsley, WaterYille; Mrs. Mary
,Gocelyn, Staples.

The feature of the afternoon session
was the presentation to the state of an
oil picture Of Camp Stone, the first en-
campment of the First Minnesota,
painted by Miss Hoblett. Gov. S. r.
Van SAINT received the gift on behalf of
the state and thanked the Ladies of the
G. A. r. The presentation speech was
made by Mrs. Marian Mullen, of Wa
basha, department president of the or
der, and Past Commander Ell Terrence
spoke.
All the survivors of the famous First
Minnesota were present, and each in
Dictated on the picture the spot where
he was stationed during the encamp-
ment at that place. Many of the old
men were on crutches and all were
bowed with age. The spectacle was af-
fecting. Gov. Van SAINT said at the
conclusion of the ceremony that it was
the most impressive he had ever wit
messed.
The committee on greeting to the C.
A. R. presented to a delegation of the
old soldiers a bouquet of American
Beauty roses and a card bearing a
motto. The delegation reported to the
convention that the G. A r. was max
ing an effort to secure from the legisla-
ture an appropriation of $4,000 for the
Ladies of the C. A r. home at AnOka.
A delegation of the Sons of Veterans
pledged their support to the measure.
The presidents of the association last
evening rendered a reception to the de-
partment officers at the Metropolitan
hotel. The regular reception of the
presidents to the delegates will be held
at the Metropolitan hotel this evening.

Twelve years of age for whom, he de-
SIRED to obtain some clothing, and that
ne could not possibly do it on the sum
he obtained as his pension. He was
told that nothing could be done. that
he was to receive 81 and no more. and
that IN short, his child would have to
want. This matter will be consid cred
today, and bill will be. prepared and
presented to the legislature as soon as
practicable, with a VieW,sto having the
existing conditions amended
The report of Capt. L. L. Mahan. SEN
Tor vice commander. was .receiSed wifi
much interest. 1t dealt with the con
ditIon of affairs he found at every. post
in the state he had visited during the
year. He also told of his visit TO wash
mgton as delegate to the national en-
campment -
In the afternoon a delegation from
the Women's Relief corps addressed
the encampment, and the response was
made by Col. A. f. Foster who ten
dered to the Monen's organizations In
general the gratitude of the entire body
OF the veterans of the Civil war for the
valuable and unremitting aid rendered
by the corps and auxiliary among
needy members.
Today will begin, with the opening
OF the second days session, the annual
election of officers. 1t is generally CON
coded that Capt. Mahan will be elected
department commander without onno-
sition.
Justice I. w. Collins, junior vice
commander, is regarded as the next
senior vice commander.

posal OF the department president TO

weak corps or in organizing new ones.
Inc recommendation were placed
IN the hands of a committee, and will
be reported on and discussed by the
convention before, they are adopted.
The following committees were ap-
pointed:
Telegrams and Greetfngs-sarah E.
Appleton; Harriet Chapman, Rochester.
Greetings to Grand Arny-Lydia G..
N Mhitmore; Minneapolis; Mary Silloway,
oils. -
Courtesies--Floraa Dmehart, slayton;

= Greetings zin to eS-Prisoners of War-El-
Resolutions-Florai S. Wilson, West Con-
cord; Mary l. Starkweather, Minneap-
OILS; Agnes w. Savage, Osseo.
The afternoon session was execu-
tive and largely attended. The body
OF the church was filled and the doors
were thrown open into the lecture
room, which was partly filled. Mrs.
Ada e. May of Saltwater, gave her
report as councillor, and Mrs. Flora
l.. Dodge, of GAINESVILLE, gave her report
as Inspector, in which it was shown
that the average attendance of officers
OF corps throughout the state for the
year was 8; the average attendance of
members, ID; the money on hand in
general fund, $2,911; the money on
hand in relief fund, s514; spent for
$1,484.
Mrs. Cora ]. Fritz, of .Mankato, re-
ported that no corps had been insd-
tuted during the year, but that work
had been accomplished that would
probably result in several organizations
during the forthcoming year.
Mrs Augusta Ball, of West Con-
cord, reported that all corps, no mat
ter how small, had held services on
Memorial day, that the children taking
part in these services were 1884,
graves decorated, 5,927, and that there
had been tWenty-eight deaths during
the year.
Mrs. Libby Clark of Fairmont, pa
triodc instructor, and Press Core
spondent Mrs. Lucie Lewis, of Min
neapolis, also read. reports.
Mrs Nettie M Norton, of Minneapo-
lis, was presented as first department
president, and, as chairman of the Sol
dlerS home board, reported that 1888
had been expended during the year.
Two members were added to the
past presidents, Mrs. Brennan, of In
diana, and Mrs. Smith, of North Da-
kota, both having been transferred to
this department
A committee from the G. A. r. was
received and the members made brief
addresses. The Committee included
Comrades Harries, Fowler, Pratt, Al
len, Mckay and Pine.
The election of officers will take place
this afternoon. Mrs. Sophia c. Fisher,
of Garfield corps, st. Paul, is a popular
candidate for the presidency, and Mrs.
Martin, of Minneapolis, is regarded as
the most probable secretary, but there
will doubtless be more or less of a con-
test over the treasurership, which is
now held by Mrs. Bertha NJ. Allen, of
Minneapolis.

whereby, it is believed. the number can
be still further reduced.
The unsatisfactory manner in which
the soldiers home has been conducted
came up for, discussion and will be
more fully dealt with today. Judging
from the remarks made by many of the
veterans very little is understood, out
side their own immediate circles, of the
methods of dealing with the incapac
itated defenders of the country.
A system is in force whereby no at
tempt at equalization is made in regard
to the retention of a portion of each
mans pension to reimburse the nation
for his maintenance. Some are re-
ceiving $14, some SIS and others rang
ing all the way to -$25, yet out of each
mans monthly sum, regardless of what
he receives, the home retains all but 81.
So impoverished are some of the old
men that their clothing is but of the
scantest kind-apd cases are known
where many of them dare not venture
out of doors during the winter weather
because of insufficient apparel 1t is
