NO POLITICIAN FOR
CAS- INSPECTOR
General Sentiment That the
Plumbing Inspector Should
Do the Work
WAS JONES' BILL INsTIGATED2
Thought to Be an Effort Of Addicks to
Be Revenaed Upon Local Gas Com
pany--Latter Will Not Oppose the
Measure.

measure
The two gas bills introduced IN the
Legislature are matters Of much dis
cussion by the people of the city, and
various opinions are expressed. The
general feeling is that Representative
Jones bill was introduced az the in
stance Of Addicis in order TO get re-
venge ON the local gas company. II is
known that he made threats OF this na-
ture prior to the election. and a promi
nent citizen said yesterday that at the
proper time he would prove il.
In q story published la the Evening
Journal yesterday 1t was shown that
in no city is gas furnished at lower
rate than 81 per thousand, and that in
most places the cost Is greater. An ofli-
Ger OF the gas company said yesterday
that gas at 81 Is based upon coal at
81 ton, but that this winter the COM
pany has paid as high as Sl6 per ton,
and has bought It IN any quantity pos-
sihle, even 10 quarter ton lots.
There seems 10 be a general senti-
ment that if q gas inspector Is required
his office should be taken out Of poli-
ties. His powers would be TOO great 10
trust 10 anyone who has 20 run the
gauntlet OF an election, when votes are
at a premium. Some suggested his APP
polntment by the resident Judge. as
that would take II out OF politics as
nearly as possible.
But q majority seems TO favor plac-
ing the duties of the prospective office
in the hands Of the plumbing inspec-
tor. AS d city official said yesterday:
"The plumbing inspector IS the natural
officer to do this work; 1t Is IN the line
OF his present duties, and as we have
very good officer. we should have an
efficient service guaranteed" "Of
course, he continued, The should have
increased compensation. but the same
need not be large"
When the officials Of the gas COM
pany We're asked by an Evening Jour-
nal reporter whether they would oppose
the bill creating a gas inspector. they
declared that they would not, only they
wanted competent person for the
place. They said that an honest Off
cial could be Of great service to them,
as he would be able to show the people
that many complaints are unreasonable.
When asked their opinion of the advis-
ability of placing the work in the hands
of the plumbing inspector, they said
they would not have the slightest OBJ
lection as that would insure an honest
and capable official.

LAST ULTIMATUM

John Edward Addicks, over his initials

'sThe Senatorial Situation"
Il On the Republican side there are but
two things the bolters can do.
First.
The ten men now voting against j.
Edward Addicks can come into COM
8mon caucus of thirty-one Republicans.
n this case Mr.. Addicks will withdraw
Aand his twenty-one friends will nomi-
a late two Union Republican Senators as
q lear to Mr.. Addicks as possible and the
whole thirty-one will elect them. Of
course if the boilers can find any way
Whereby ten can beat twenty-one, they
an nominate one of the Senators.
Second.
Each side can elect one Senator with
ut dictation from the other side. In
khis case Mr.. Addicks will be the choice
the Union Republicans. No dicta-
on will be permitted by the Union Re-
ublicans.
Democrats.
On the Democratic side the Demo-
ats can join the boilers and elect any
ody the coalition pleases. This can
ot be prevented by the Union Republl-
Inns and they would not lift hand to
-event it.
But-After Us the DeIuge.
The Future.

Throughout the United States
and Mexico there has sprung up
demand for abandoned mining
properties. Particularly has this
been the case in the State of Cali
fornia Mines that have fallen
into decay from long years of
abandonment have once again been
open and cleared for action. AL
ready in some of these mines that
have been opened big finds of min
eral have been made, thus repay
ing the yenturesome for their en-
terprise. There are many aban-
doned mines in this country. Mex
leo is lined with them. Many of
these properties doubtless possess a
considerable merit and will well
repay reopening. There are num-
Der of reasons for the closing OF
mines, the more important being
lack of necessary capital, the ap-
parent exhaustation of ore bodies,
litigation the hoodoo of many a
good mine, mine flooded with
water, etc. Mines have been closed
because no suitable method was
known to successfully treat the
ores. Again because the ore was
too low grade for primitive meth
DDS of extraction. These derelicts
of Mother Earth are once again re-
eeiving attention and new life being
infused into their depth. New and
modern methods of locating lost or
new ore bodies, scientific methods
of mining and milling and plenty
of the al1-necessary capital will
make some of these old-timers
again productive, and thus once
again will their yield aid in max
ing the United States the greatest
of all countries in mineral wealth.

The Gold Standard Group

While there is such widespread
interestamong mining men locally,
as well as others, in the Black Rock
mining district, it is not strange
that new diggings are occasionally
reported. But when one comes to
go over the district, and looks up
some of the older diggings which
have not yet been exploited, it
causes surprise. Recently we have
made two trips into this richly
mineralized belt and we have found
something of extraordinary interest
each time. One of the most worthy
properties that has long lain
obscure is the Gold Standard group,
owned by J. w. Gunnell.
These claims have been in his
possession for the past seven years.
He operated them years ago with
an arastra and took out over $la
per ton by that primitive method.
He has very rich vein about four
thousand feet long, and, at points
where he has worked, a thickness
of about three feet has been shown
up. He has an incline shaft sunk
on the ledge, which dips at an an
gle of about 20 degrees from the
perpendicular, distance OF fifty
five feet. Mr.. Gunnell is thinking
of getting up stock company for
the operation of the property. We
hope he may succeed in getting
some one with capital to take bold
of it, as we feel confident that this
would give a new impetus to the
mining industry of the vicinity.
We have horned some specimens
that we took ourselves and the en-
tire ledge of three feet shows good
values in gold 1t is free milling
quartz with oxide Of iron in it.
The claims lying alongside OF it,
or almost SO, are the Black Rock,
Electra, Franklin's and Grijalva
Coarse Gold. The White mine and
Sam Powell mine, as we'll as the
keystone, King Solomon and 9TH
ers are also close neighbers This
district will be heard from in the
near future and the Gold Standard
cannot help being one of the lead
ing producers.

Official Murder

According to recent reports from
people who witnessed the killing
OF Schmidt by Date Graham at
Douglas on the 5th inst, it seems
that the killing was premeditated
on the part of Graham and that it
was wholly unjustifiable. If things
are coming to such pass the Gov
ernor had better place a force of
rangers or soldiers at Douglas to
protect the people from the con-
stables.
Officers should always endeavor
to prevent breaches of the peace
and disturbances. Even if Graham
knew Smith to be the man that he
thought he was, he had no right
and shoot him and then make his
brags that he came there to kill
him and that he had done it. Any
officer who will commit such an
act as it seems Graham did is no
more than a cowardly murderer.
The fact that a man happens to be
a constable should not give him
license to commit murder nor in
any other way violate the law. An
officer should first obey the law,
that he may demand the same of
others.

The one-year-old child of family
living about three miles west of

an inch long, the pin at the time
being unclasped, but fortunately
starting on it's journey with the
closed end down. The parents sent
for the doctor, and, of course, ex-
pected the little ones stomach
would have to be opened and the
pin removed. The baby was the
only one in connection with the
incident that didn't worry. The
doctor thought it better to let ma
ture take care of the pin, in view
of the fact that nature prompted
the baby to eat it, so he refused to
operate till there was some evil
dence of internal disturbance. The
child's mother now has the pin as
an interesting souvenir and will
keep it out of the little ones reach.
