proceeded on To an inspection of some
of the \. c. property. The Standard
tramway will be in operation by De-
cember LIST, when the expensive
method of packing by burros will be
done away with which will also en-
able the company to ship much
larger tonnage than heretofore. Dur
lug September and October the COM
pany sent down in addition to regular
shiumeuts, two shipments OF six cars
of almost pure matte, which ran
nearly fifty per cent. copper. During

poses erecting large store at its
station on the Coronado railway. The
new town and station will be called
Standard. Development work will
now be more actively pushed, and new
ground opened up, so as to supply ad-
ditional tonnage which can nov be
easily handled by the new tramway.

a new strike has been made by the
Shannon Copper company, which
promises to be one of the most i'm
portant and extensive discoveries in
this district. The strike was made on
the Northern Point claim in the neigh h
bOrhood OF Metcalf, being the claim
recently purchased from the A. G.
company. Considerable development
%rok had been done on the claim. The
new strike va made while the company
was running tunnel from below To
cut the main ledge at Il considerable
depth. When the ore body was struck
the company commenced drifting and
continued to do SO ever since. They
have now drilled thirty-tive feet In the
ore which averages between seven and
eight per cent copper. The Northern
Point claim will no doubt be heavy
producer for the shannon Copper com
pany in the future.

The Chase Creek Copper company's
property up Chase creek is said u be
likely To 90 on the list Of jumpable
things IN this section. The Roston
parties owning the property are re-
ported disOrganiZed and unable to ge.
together to put up for necessary
assessment work. Consequently the
claims are likely, from present ind lea
tiOns. to be open for relocation about
the first OF the year. The property is
one OF much promise and considered
Of high value by those acquainted
with its merits. A tunnel has been
driven 400 feet and there il every
reason 10 expect that in Il couple Of
hundred more feet Il big ore dy Ike will
be cut.

The facts are that Mr.. Campbell Of

Of money not only To do the assessment
work, but also Tor the extensive de-

people Of the North, and were treated

Nation, throuhg its Confress, passed
pension laws, as it considered just and
lawful. and invited the returned sol
dier TO present his claim
1t was thought that the men who
faced that storm, though he may not
have been wounded by shot or she'll,
must have suffered from hardships and
exposure, and should be cared for and
assisted. The pension laws have been
a great blessing to many a soldier, his
widow or orphans. / feel that their
eternal prayers are continually ascend
ing to the Father of all to preserve
and protect this glorious Government
and its generous people. Yet, in many
newspapers OF today we read articles
about pensions in which those men who
now compose the remnant of that army
and are fortunate enough TO be on the
pension rolls-classed as frauds, boun-
ty jumpers and pension sharks. Those
are hard words; they sink deep into
the heart. Treat them justly. The
time is not far distant when the last
soldier OF that war will have passed

In conclusion, it must not be forgot
ten that these pensioners met and van
quished on many a bloody field the
most determined army of fighting men
the world has ever seen. They obeyed
their orders, endured the hardships of
prison pens, made long and forced
marches. and suffered all manner of ex-
posure incident to army life. They
fought the battles and stopped many

MASTER ANE MEN

This is what Golfers Weekly has
say about the project Of electing AC
ticks men to the Senate with Addick
lut of it.
We do not know whether we can
fully congratulate the people of Del
aware on the withdrawal of Ad-
dicks from the struggle for the Sem
atorship, for we do not know
whether Addicks men are to be
elected to fill the vacancies. lt
seems to us 1t would be quite as
uncomfortable for the decent people
of Delaware to be represented in
the Senate by members of theclique
that has attempted to force this
carpet-bagger on the State as to
have Addicks himself as their Sena-
tor. We make a distinction be-
tween the master and the men. but
it is a distinction not compliment
tary TO the Addicks clique. One can
understand Addicks motive in try
ing to break into the Senate, but
what was their motive in support
ing him? IL would not be hard TO
guess. We hope the fight will con-
tinue, not against Addicks alone,
but against the Addicks idea of pol
itics, the Addicls game and the Ad-
dicks men until the last stain of this
rotten campaign is washed from the
State. AS for Addicks himself, we
have often wondered what kind OF
man The can be who thinks any
honor worth having which in
vites the generous contempt and
hatred of the whole country. Like
Charles Lamb in the presence of the
outsider" at Hazlitt's party, we
would like to feel his bumps
Some strange perverted notion OF
The fitness OF THINGS, of mans OBJ
LEGATIONS TO society, of the quality
OF an honor" from which all honor
has been stripped. must have got
into his head. Let us add that he
must have been bes6t by a singular
delusion Of the general worthless
ness of the community he hoped to
represent Perhaps one thing flowed
from another. Starting with the
theory that the people of Delaware
would permit Addicks TO represent
them in The Senate nothing would
be too bad to think about the peo-
pie of Delaware. Fortunately the
State has stood the test well so far.
IL may be pretty bad-the size Of
the Addicks vote will prevent a
complete acquittal-but, thank
Heaven. il is not as bad as Addicks
expected. We hope that now he is
beaten he will not be permitted to
dictate terms to the victors.
