I AFTER LAWMAKERS.
The Fratcrnal Monitor Declares
Laws Are in Bad Shape.

The Tratcrnal Monitor, u publication
devoted to the Interests OF fraternal So
ccties In the course of a lengthy editorial
on the situation in Virginia in regard
to fraternal societies, says:
results show that the law relating to
fraternal societies was repealed with a
number Of others--prcsumably an error
because the bill was reported as q gen
eral repeal bill by tho Committee on Ca
nails and Internal improvements (Roads
and Internal Navigation). Yet it is all
legged thcFlaw relating to fraternal socie.
ties was legally repealed. There Is to-
day no law in the; State Of Virginia reg
ulatng fra ternal beneficiary societies.
sa"1ndeed, the situation Is most unfortu-
nate, and it is n sad commentary upon
Legislative conditions when laws can be
nade and repea,.d without the knowledge
OF those most vitality Interested. We are
all supposed to know what the law is.
Ignorance OF 1t is NO excuse. Yet. It is
a fact that even the attorneys Of In
stitutions whose control purpose is to
keep track OF laws are not able to as
certain cond tions and advise their prin-
cipals in the premises.
las a. matter of.ethics, the Virginia sit,
iuation Is an unfortunate one. 1t seemed
beyond comprehension that interests of
SO vast Importance as are those of fra
Bternal institutions should be eliminated
from consideration by the lawmakers Of
Virginia. Surely, If the average law is
made on this basis, It follows that there
could not but be many and serious In,
equities and that the people will soon
or late rise up against such action. The
Virginia Legislature fllas stultificd itself
by It's unconscious revocation ofalaws re-
lating to fraternal societies, and it is now
in order that it right the wrong 1t has
committed, and that It see that the e1ui-
ties Of all be conserved along legitimate
and proper lines." III

shaft the same depth. When a shaft is completed ore bodies have yet to be developed by drifts from which all the rock taken has to be hoisted out of the shaft-a costly undertaking. A tunnel develops the ground as it goes; and the rock mined is carried out much more cheaply.
 The principal workings in the "Gross" group are the "Zamora' and the "Chamberlain' tunnels, mentioned hereinbeiore and a number of shafts twenty to forty feet in depth, in all of which goodly values have been encountered
 All these groups enjoy every facility for cheap and economical operation. Upon the very ground is an abundance of. timber-oak, pine and juniper, which will supply fuel, mine and building timbers through many years, while water is abundant in all the gulches, and will be developed in the mines. Available mill sites are to be found at all points in the ground of the companv.
 The home office of the Four Metals Mining Co., is at Phoenix, Arizona-21 South Center street. The officers are F. l.. Blulne~, president; Oliver P. Morton, V ice president; A. A. Owen, secretary; George D. Gross, superintendent; k. E Barrett, director. The east ern fiscal agent is the Investors Corporation, Security Building, Chicago.
 The Four Metals Company" is in the hands of sterling, reliable business men, who may be de pended upon to make it a complete and permanent success.

 In the gulch below this working there is good placer ground from which there has been taken con siderable gold, washed from these ledges But short distance west of the Hillside group are the Macedonia" "Thessalia.' and Arizona mines of Proto Brothers, the Nogales merchants. The Pay master" mine of R. R. Richardson of Patagonia, the Golden Rose" of l.. W. Jimmie and associates of Nogales, and the "Buena Vista group" of the Nogales Copper Co.,, are in the immediate vicinity
 About a mile eastward from the "Billside group" with their north ernmost end about mile south from the "Mowry," are the "Gross group" of mines. also belonging to the -Four Metals Mining Com pany." The group of twelve claims are punched with pro- longation of four claims to the southward, abutting upon the "Pool group" at Washington Camp. The punched group covers the en- tire surface of lofty hill, the formation being compact argilla ceous rock occurring in great blocks, similar to some limestones. The remarkable feature of the forma- ton is that from all sides of the hill, as developed in the various openings, the cleavage planes in the rock all incline toward the center. Following some of these cleavage planes are thin seams of chalcocite, chalcopyrite, bornite and iron pyrite, all tending toward common center, a great dyke of trachyte and porphyry, which crops out near the apex of the hill, and alongside of which the work ings now tending toward it will no doubt develop great bodies of rich ore. The entire formation gives that indication with unerr- ing accuracy.
 Two tunnels are now being pushed toward the center of the hill, one from the southwest to the northeast, the other from the west to th- east. Within the distance of 1000 feet their lines will cross, the latter at depth of 200 feet below the other, which will in turn cut about roo feet below the apex of the hill. When they reach the line of the dyke both tunnels will doubtless present great develop ments. Wherever work has been done under the present ownership good ores have been extracted yielding handsomely in copper, lead, and silver, with some gold Upon some of the claims former owners performed considerable work, extracting and shipping ores that yielded handsomely.
 But to the eye of the geologist 1t is plainly apparent that as yet the surface has been hardly touched. It is with deep mining that the values will be proved in the "Gross group" and the lay of the ground and formation are such that the properties can be developed and worked to great depths in the cheapest and most economical manner,-by tunneling, which is the method adopted by the -Four Metals Mining Co.," Without the aid of costly machinery a tunnel cun he run 1000 feet at less than
