strike was ordered in 1897. This lasted
until 1900. Some sort of a compromise
was patched up at that time and the
men returned to work, but shortly aft
erwards went out on another strike
and have been on strike ever since.
The fight between Lord Penrhyn and
his laborers became a subject of ma
tional Importance in Great Britain and
labor unions advanced considerable
support to the strikers. But despite
this assistance the men and their fami-
lies starved. Many of them left the
district and settled in mining regions
elsewhere and the news that the rem
nant of workmen remaining have sur
rendered means a considerable victory
in Great Britain for those who oppose
labor unions. Lord Penhryn lost half
million dollars during the strike and
declared himself willing to lose the
same amount any time that a similar
principle should be at stake.

In the little town of Bethesda, Wales,
a strange labor conflict has been waged
between Lord Penrhyn, a rich and
powerful peer, and and a little town
full of men, women, and children who
have been dependent upon him for
their bread and butter for years. 1t
was a small labor trouble to begin
with. Penrhyn owns some famous
slate quarries. Nearly all of the $500
men on strike had worked in the quar-
ry for years as their fathers before
them had also done. They were we'll
paid but labor agitators got into the
peaceful Welsh village and organized
the workers. A committee was ap-
pointed who were to represent the men
before Lord Penrhyn. The slate quarry
owner would not tolerate this commit
tee. He claimed that they did not
rightfully represent the wishes of his
employees Because of his non-recog-
milton of the walking delegates"

stephen Benton Ellzins, Republican
Senator from West Virginia, lawyer
legislator, has had the honor of rep
resenting two different States in the
Congress of his country. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in Missouri in 1864
and Immediately removed to New
Mexico where he acquired a knowledge
of the Spanish language and commenc-
ed the practice of law. He held various
offices in the Territory and was elected
to the Forty-third Congress. While
abroad he was renominated and elected
to the Forty-fourth Congress. After
leaving Congress he removed to West
Virginia and devoted himself to busi-
ness affairs until he was appointed Sec
retary of War in 1891, serving until the
close of President Harrison's admins
tration. IN February, 1894, he was
elected tol the Senate. He was chair
man of the International Commerce
Committee, and one of the national
leaders of the Republican party.
The late Senator Elkins was a multi
millionaire. In railway operations he
made an immense amount of money.
During the year 1902 his speculation in
railways is Said to have netted him
between seven and eight million dol
lars in profits. He was an extensive
owner of railways in West Virginia and
had large coal and coke mining, bank,
and waterworks holdings in the same
State.
He had two sons who assisted him in

The Hon. Joseph c. Cannon, who
will in all human probability be elected
Speaker of the House of the Fifty
eighth Congress, has the distinction of
having served longer in the lower leg
islatiye chamber than any of his thir-
ty-four predecessors. The Eighteenth
Congressional District of Illinois first
sent him to represent it at the nation
al capital in the year that General
Grant defeated Horace Greeley for the
Presidency, and he has done so contin-
uously ever since, with the one excep-
tion Of the Fifty-second session, go
to '92, when he was made to stay at
home by a Democrat named Busey.
His election to the next highest office
under the government will be the real
ization of long cherished ambition of
Mr.. Cannon, and an honor which has
been won through exceptional service.
He was born at Newgarden. near Gull
ford Court House, in 1886. He went
to Indiana early with his parents where
he received only common school ed
ucation. AT fourteen he hired out as
clerk in a country store, and five years
later began the study of law. Decid-

a prophet in his own country, he con-
cluded to go to Douglas County, Illi-

year in his profession, 1858, was pretty
hard pulling for the future Speaker OF
the House. and there is no denying that
he would have come to actual want if
a friend had not stood for his board
bill. It was not in the young lawyers
makeup, however, to allow difficulties
to daunt him. BY hard work and un-
firing perseverance each succeeding
year saw his influence broadening and
his practice enlarge With his inborn
aggressiveness he was soon identified
with his party's politics, and in 1861

with long string of endorsements by
U. S. Army officers, an application he
made to the War Department in Sep
tember for having Pearl Harbor open

formed that the War Department is
not charged with placing buoys and
beacous in harbors, and is given per-
mission to place needed navigation
marks in the channel and harbor. The
channel as lately dredged has a width
of 200 feet and a depth of 80 feet.

CONGRESSMAN WILLIAMS.
The Hon. John S. Williams, the Mis-
sissippi Congressman whom the DEM
ocrats have honored in caucus by NOM
mating him for speaker, although a
southerner by birth and education,
made quite a stir in the last Congress
by a spirited speech in which he de-
Tended the conduct of the Union army
during the Civil War. He resented re-
marks which had been made concern
ing the Philippine campaign Some
one had compared Generals Sherman
and Sheridan with General Smith, the
man who issued an order to make Sa-
mar "a bowling wilderness" Mr.. Will
liams expressed pride that his father,
the colonel of a Tennessee regiment, who
soldier and had fought against the
bravest of foes. He said that no such
order as General Smiths had ever been
issued by a Union officer, even in the
most furious stages of the war, and that
the Union soldiers had never committed
murder or other crimes. He asserted
that when civilized man was fighting
civilized man in this country the
watchword was chivalry and fairness;
that women were not insulted, and that
boys were not murdered. This speech
naturally caused a stir in the House.
It's author, who was formerly a law
yer and planter at Yazoo City, Miss,
is now serving his fourth term in Con-
gress. He was a delegate to the ma
tional convention which nominated
Cleveland and Stevenson. He is nearly
forty-eight years of age, and is man
of ability and culture, as well as a
versatile raconteur, whose stories are
the delight of his fellow-statesmen.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

Some of these wild cat schemes, pay
ing, or guaranteeing to pay five per
cent per month, are hardly healthy for
the State, even in seasons when
suckers bite readily. The Silver State
advises its readers to purchase no
mining stock of this sort, especially
if the property is only in the prospect
ing stage.

Court has just rendered a decision

At White Rock tie Edgemont Co.
is employing IS men and has its 20
stamp mill in operation. The Riddle
mine is reported bonded by Eastern
men for $4,000 H. P. Taylor, man
ager and part owner of the Murphy
Curioux mines at Bull Run, says the
1O-stamp mill will be enlarged to 20
stamps and cyanide works added. The
cost of these and other necessary work
will make a total expenditure of $780,
900.
A. Carlson, the manager of the Deer
Creek mine, has ordered a Hunt pull
verizer and a Gates crusher, together
with other machinery, the mill to have
when completed, a capacity of so o n
per day. The property lies As miles
northeast of Tuscarora and s miles
east of Gold Creek. 1t has been work
ed for some time and has between
300. 900 and 400, 900 tons of gold-silver
ore said to be blocked out. The gold
is free.
Mining law suits, which are incident
TO every camp in which there are good
mines, owing t our peculiar mining
laws, have already begun at Tonopah.
The ground in dispute is known as
the Pyramid Fraction. The Tonopah
Mining company claims it as part OF
it's Valley View claim, but the Salt
Lake and Tonopah Mining company
located it as part of it's ground. 1t is
to be hoped that the differences of
opinion will be settled out of court.
Difficulties continue at the Ophir
mine in Lincoln county. A number
of checks have been returned by he
hank and the machinery on the prop
erty. which is said to have cost over
$50. 900. it is claimed is in very bad
condition. There is said to be some
ore near the end Inc of the property,
but it appears to dip into the adjoining
ground owned by George Anderson.
It is said that overtures were made
by the Eastern shareholders to pur-
chase the property.
A shipment has been made from
the O'Meara-Lynch property, near
Lone Mountain, about 20 miles south
west of Tonopah, yielding about $3.50
a ton. The company now has things
in working shape at the mines and
expects to ship 100 tons monthly. In
addition to the shipping ore. there
are reserves of ore which will pay
Tor treatment at works in operation on
the eround. The Alpine group produc-
ca enough to pay the price of purchase
and the expense of working it. About
10 men are employed.

tunnel company, which was erected

temporarily closed down. President
Franklin Leonard states that opera
tions will resume as soon as a cyanide
plant. now being designed, is erected.
Tests have shown that a high percent
age of the values can be recovered
by this process. The latest estimates
on the amount of workable ore avail
able at this dump are about 100, 900
tons. Exact figures on the results
of this milling experiment have never
been made public, but it is known that
the operations have been profitable.
The Nevada Chief company's prop
erty is about three miles from Pine
Grove by trail, or five miles by wagon
road, the latter being impossible at
this season of the year. Considerable
development work. has been done by
this company of Los Angeles. There
are numerous wines and upraises in
the mine, and from all good milling
ore is obtained. Mr.. Knight is now
experimenting the property and run
ming the little five-stamp mill, which
was recently placed thereon. The mill
was built by the Joshua Hendy Co. of
San Francisco, and is a complete one.
The supply of water is s limited that
only a few hours run can be made
every day or two.
There is considerable activity at
Lone Mountain. about twenty miles
from Tonopah. Cutting & Griffin have
q claims on all of which there are
outcrops of quartz. At the Coleman
claims ore is being taken out and
sacked for shipping. Shipping ore is
also being extracted at the Mead &
henQdll Claims. Inc HdyHdSLer COLI
pany has nine claims and two frac-
tons. The discovery was made on
the Maid of Erin" where the ledge
cropped on the side of a deep gulch.
The shaft is now down As feet on the
vein, which carries about 8 inches
of galena ore, with high values in
silver, as we'll as one foot of high
grade quartz values and a consider
able amount of low-grade vein mat
ter. 1t is their intention t o sink the
shaft 80 feet deeper. 1t is claimed that
500, 900 worth of ore is now develop
ed. Water is shipped from Silver
Peak and some from a brackish we'll
near the salt marsh Two miles from
the mine. There is abundant wood at
Montezuma, II miles away. Many
prospectors are working in this vi
cinity.

The Mining Industry of Nevada Receives
Attention From the Pacific
Coast Miner

At the Wakefield mne near Tuscan
ora, operations have been suspended,
owing to the failure of the pump to
handle the water.
The Southern Nevada G. NJ. Co.
has bought several properties around
Red Mountain and Silver Peak. De
yelopment work will be continued and
a reduction plant built at Silver Peak.
The Silver King mine, at Lone
Mountain, Nevada, is sinking on a
vein 7 feet wide. of which 8 inches
on the hang wall is said to carry high
values. The Osborne mill, at Butler
Wells, Nevada, is running on TonO-
pah ore.
The shaft at the Techaticup, in Ell
Dorado Canyon, Nevada, will be sunk
to an additional depth of APO feet.
The mine has produced considerable
ore in the past, and it is anticipated
that satisfactory developments will
remain.
There has been strike at the new
Buffers Plant in Sixmile Canyon, ow-
ing to the men being paid at the rate
of 80 cents per hour instead of SO per
e|ight-hour shift. The men refused to
receive $2.4O a day instead of So, to
which they claim they were entitled.
Mr.. J. P. Fitting of Foltz, Nevada,
is putting in a hydraulic plant IN the
properties owned by j. B. Foltz of
Foltz. Large storage re1g1voirs will
be constructed and the water used in
washing will be restrained by dams.
This year the abundance of snow guar
antees a continual supply of water.
The Paymaster group of seven
claims, lying in the range to the north
of Lone Mountain in Nopah district,
is said t o be making a good showing.
A shaft 40 feet in depth discloses a
ledge of quartz four feet wide, on a
lime and porphyry contact, says the
Tonopah Bonanza. 1t carries average
values of s276 per ton.
Owing to the heavy fall of snow
which is general through Nevada, it
has become necessary TO shut down
the Dexter mine and mill at Tuescar-
ora. The slime plant, however, will
continue it's operations, but it is not
anticipated that any other work will
be done until the spring thaws, x
