dreds of years by slave labor. They are still being worked. and the known ore reserves of those mines place them easily a; the head of the mines of the world today
 The mines of Saxony. accidentaAy discovered a thousand years ago, are still materially adding 10 the wealth Of the German Empire.
 In India the English companies are constantly reopening old mines which have been worked by the Hindoos for untold ages.
 In South Africa. in Ma,abeland, many Of the mines worked were un- questionably worked by a prehistoric race, which possessed most civilized arts. The operation Of these mines has been attributed to the people over whom reigned the Queen Of Sheba.
 On this continent We have only to look at the great mines Of Mexico al Pachuca, Guadalajara anc Guanjuato' all of which have been worked for nearly 500 years, and are still pro- ducing heavily today. In South America. the same is true of the mines of Bolivia, Brazil and other republics
 Much more could be written in the same strain, but sufficient has been said to demonstrate that mining dis t,icts. far from playing out, are ab- solutely permanent. Parenthetically. il may be remarked that many DOT tions of the earth which were once noted fer their agricultural wealth are now barren vildernesses.
 l. is true that today We hear very little. outside of the immediate To- cali;y. of such districts as Gilpin county. yet this district last year act ually produced as much as it cid dur ing the first few years in the sixties, when it was the Mecca Of miners all over the world. Last year the dis rict of Leadville, after twenty-five years of heavy production. produced as much mineral wealth as the com bineci output of the territories of Col oradO. New Mexico and Utah in the year 1876: yet the impression was held only a few years ago that Lead vile was a deserted camp. In fact. he writer of this was asked in 1896 if Leadvilie was nor practically a de- serted village
 How different then are facts from impressions. Mines may be played out. although after periods of depres- sion the olG mines seem to have a faculty of taking on a new lease of life. as, for example. the Comstock. and again yield large profits to the owners. Yet districts, as districts. if ever they have been important pro- ducers. seem 10 remain permanently
Bisbee daily review., 1904-05-27

A very widely felt impression is that the mining industry is an evan escent one: that it differs from agri- culture in that a mine cannot be per manontly worked. The impression is further strengthened by the fact that every ton Of ore taken out of mine means that a ton of ore less remains; whereas. on the other hand, by prop CT care and attention. agricultural land will forever yield crops.
 We wish that some competent auth ority would write on the history of mining, because if one appreciated the past facts of an industry be would be more likely 10 appreciate the future conditions. There is no more fas- cinating study. ncr one filled with bet ter lessons than a knowledge of past achievements. Those who are pes simists in mining would receive a very needful tonic if they knew of the facts that appertain to the industry they decry. It would possibly surprise such people. were they to learn that never in the history Of the world has a great mining district been exhaust ed. There are on the earth's known crust many score of mining districts which have been worked practically continually for periods from 1000 10 1000 years. We further think it safe 10 say that the greatest eras of prosperity of the great nations of the world have been largely due 10 the mining industry
 Athens owed it's position in the civilization of the world to the fact that its citizens derived wealth and consequent leisure from the great mines Of Larium. Those mines pro- duced 50 much silver as to mas-rlsI- ly reduce the relative values of gold and silver They supported a popula- ton in the district of over 200, ,000 peo- pie. Their wealth went to fill the cof- fers Of the citizens of Athens, and with the wealth so produced. they

 During the period of greatest pros perity in Phoenicia the merchants oi that country sent their men and ships 10 ths farthest corners Of the then known world to bring back the miner al treasure found in those remote places. IL is a well established fact that the Cornish mines were worked al thst time for tin. and that the riv. CTS of Spain and Portugal were worked for placer gold, and that pos sibly the copper deposits were work ed. La.er the Carthagenians and Romans fought for possession of the Iberian peninsula mainly because o its mineral wealth. The Romans worked the Rio Tinto mines for hun

Articles of incorporation are TOW being prepared for the Arizona Gold Ringing company. with a capital or s250. 900. This company was organ ized for the purpose of taking over and developing eleven gold claims formerly owned by Poland and Nel- son. and which have been under de veIopment since the first of the year by a syndicate of Clifton business men The claims are situated about six miles above Clifton, and near the Frisco river. These claims are noted for well defined lodes carrying both gold and silver, which are being de veloped by tunnels driven in on the veins. On one of these claims a tun- nel has recently been driven 200 feet showing the average width of the vein 10 be between two and three feet The ore averages for the length of the tun- mel about s10 per ton, but as depth has been obtained it has increased from s4 near the surface to SIP at the face of the tunnel It is the inten- tion of the company to drive this tun- nel in 500 feet further. when it will have a depth from the surface of 450 feet, and if the ore continues al it's present width and value the com pany will then have more than S3OO-- GOO worth of ore in sight, which will be sufficient showing for the erection of a plant. This work is being done on the Laura D. lode, which has record for producing the richest ore in the district. The company ex- poets to develop some rich shoots of ore by it's tunnel, as rich assays and samples have been had from the sur face of the lead, which in places is from six to eight feet in width. How ever. if the values remain as shown by the present development work, there is no reason why the company should not prove a dividend-payer. because the ore can be mined and brought to the surface through the tunnel for s1 per ton. While the company has a mill site al the river. it is likely that the plant will be plac- ed a. the mines and the water pumped up from the river. which would be cheaper than transporting the ore, be- sides which the tailing could be stored in the canyon for many years. doing away with the problem of car ing for the tailings. The company had an examination made on it's prop erty by F. U. Beauchamp. a we'll known mining engineer, which was most encouraging The officers of the company are: E. NJ Williams, president: Wood Poland. vice presi- dent; J. R. Hampton, secretary and treasurer; E H. Franz, J. E. Holt
 S. J. Forbes and A. c. Smith, direc- tors.

POLITICAL POINTS

Roosevelt administration, but the former was the only speaker who pointed out national and party dangers which under lie the Hearst movement and all 1t rep resents. MT. Littleton won immediate at tenticn and invited close scrutiny when Democratic party had vacilated between conservatism and radicalism, constructive policies and obstructive policies and rest ed its case on denial and dispute.
 We have within our own party" no said, "a danger arising from the fact of an effort being made to array all the rich and all the powerful on one side and all the poor and all the needy on the other, e danger set on foot by a coalition be- tween the idle rich and the idle poor In an effort to pull apart union between the industrious rich and the industrious poor. forces of the rich"
 This sentiment was received with spon- taneous applause, which was accentuatcd when the speaker asserted that the Demo cratic party should not be carried away with the radicalism of Roosevelt, who had attempted to arrogate himself the powers of the coordinate branches of the Federal Government. and the influences that draw toward a coalition between the idle rich and the idle poor. The mention of Judge Parker's name created much enthusiasm, but 1t did not conspicuously overawe the letter declining the invitation was read by Postmaster s. s. Gregory.

Curtailment.

R1ODlIe GuII SUdSI fteCOTu.
 While encouraging replies to circular letter sent out to the millmen continue to come in. the manufacturers do not seem to have an actual grasp of the situation. For instance, the number of millmer who are actually ignorant of the cut is amaz- ing. Numerous letters come in attesting this fact. Replying to some of these we will say: The River Platte shipments since January 1 were 59, ,a97, ,6S6 feet lun1- Der 7lS.665 feet timber and S6, 256 piekets-- a total of g 3,S35.250 feet for the same time last year. This is an increase of 36,- N7.yU7 feet. The above figures represent more than two and one-half times the amount of the shipments for the same as last year, and it looks as though a halt would be advisable. A market can absorb just so much, and any surplus must prove disastrous to values. This iIl- crease Is noted in the shipments to all foreign ports. and holds good with the interior markets also. Up to March 1 of the present year stocks at the mills creased 5S.136,70s feet, a ratio of in- crease greater than all of 1908. On the face of this we note that building per- niits in the North and East are 40 per cent less than they were for the same period last year! There Is no disputing these figures. Moreover, the manufac- tuTer knows that the interior markets are now buying lumber at se thousand less than was paid eighteen months ago. There is no disputins this statement. either. and if the manufacturer is not bind to his own interest he will welcome any step which will tend to stop the downward trend of values. Curtailment to the manufacturer. This reduction of the cut. based on a shutdown of one day a week. in two months would amount to 4O.VOe,e0O feet of export material.

COAL IN ALAsKA

The discovery of immense fields of hard bituminous coal in Alaska is another of the many surprises which the country has experienced fin connection with that country. When our government, through Secretary Seward, paid Russia 37,5OO, GOO for what was looked on as a waste and arctic region there was much surprise and disappointment expressed. By some it was thought our government had bought a gold brick, while others thought that the money was present to Russia for some real or fancied favor received from that nation.
 After results have shown that MT, Seward was much wiser than his country men, or that, as Emerson says. He builded better than he knew" So far from proving valueless region of ice and snow, this immense territory, almost twelve times as large as Alabama, has been found to be immensely rich in fish and game, in timber. In agricultural and horticultural products and in metals. Now. in addition to other sources of wealth, comes the announcement of the discovery of field of excellent coal. It is hardly probable that this bed is the only, or even the principal one in that region. It must be remembered that Alaska is a huge country, much of 1t practically unknown, and 1t may be that this is but one of many veins of coal which future explorations may develop. However that may be. and whatever may have been the extent of Stewards knowl- edge. the fact remains that his diplomacy added a large and valuable country to Uncle Sam's farm.
