Splendid Promise

The Steamboat properties have at
tracted considerable attention In the
mining world during the past couple
of years. or ever since the discov-
cries on the Hopkins properties. Ow-
ing to the hot water Of the district
prospecting work is greatly hampered
and about the only manner in which
the country can be cheaply prospect
ed is by means of Calyx or core
1t is not difficult to estimate the val

out and that another Wedekind vein

Observations
Mr.. RooSEvELTs CRITIC

President Roosevelt, by endeav-
oring to apply in the South, where
the negroes are many, the prin-
cipal Of equality, while he ignores
that principle in the remainder
of the country, where the negroes
are few, render the blacks no SER
vice. On the contrary, he does
them grave harm, and at the
same time harnesses and alarms
the whites. who are burdened with
race problem that is quite heavy
enough without these gratuitous
additions-Examiner 11f
1t is so rare that the Examiner edi-
tor makes plain statement. He is
usually long on rhetoric and plati-
tude and short on direct and positive
assertion. -a ~
In the foregoing clipping he has
made a declaration of the principles
of William Randolph Heart 1t is on
record and must be adhered to or the
paper be known as one of tickle policy.
This attack upon Mr.. Roosevelt is
identical with those made upon Mr..
Lincoln when the shadow Of the rebel
lion gathered ore the land.
But this attack differs in one par
ticularr Its absolute Stiffness gives 1t
prominence.
Why should not Mr.. Roosevelt seek
the south where the negro lives to
apply this principle of equality. 1t
is there it is needed, not in the north.

HARDIN is ON
RECORD AGAIN
His Action Regarding the Fellow
Servant BiIi-LegisIative
ctfat. Proceedings g.


! Senate met in Committee of the
Whole, President protein Green in the
chair. -.-.-.--. ..tar .a
The fellow servant bill, introduced
by Mr.. Cooke and passed in the As
sembly. Cooke addressed the As
sembly in favor of the bill. He ex-
planned in detail the intent of the bill.
but on account of his presence being
needed in the Assembly, he concluded
with the statement that the dill was
intended for the benefit of the working
men and their welfare.
The bill was then taken up and
placed on third reading. Attempts
were made to amend the bill, which
failed and it brought out a general
discussion. Senator Prudential op-
/ posed the bill, as the California legis-
lature had defeated like BILL and
he believed it to be too far-reaching.
Senator Jackson believed that the
bill would result in the public being
the benefactor, and furthermore that
should it pass, the Southern Pacific
would be compelled to place more
careful and competent men in charge
Of its telegraph offices. He believed
that the law would place the working
man in a position that would make
him more equal with his fellow work
Senator Hardin stated that he rep
resented county of various interests
and many corporations, and he did
, not believe that the bill would be just
to those whom he represents, nor to
the interests of incoming capitalists.
He believed that it would work a hard
ship on the small contractors, as they
under the bill would be liable to all
damages sustained to their employed
assistance. He would vote against
the bill.
Bill lost by a vote of 10 to 6.
In the Assembly the bill providing
for a metallurgical building came up
for consideration. The bill was dis
cussed at considerable length by the
members. Mr.. Cooke advocated it's
passage, as did Mr.. Denton. Mr..
Skaggs opposed the measure. 1t came
to a vote and the bill was lost by a
vote of 10 to IA. Mr.. Denton gave
notice that he would move for recon-
sideration of the vote by which the
measure was lost.
