than quote the words of Prof. Edward
S. Meade of the Wharton Scho,l IF
Finance and Economy in saying:
$50 far as present indications point
the way to conclusion, it is that the
so-called trust problem will in few
wears cease to be problem. When
the people see that the dangers of
monopoly have been much exagger-
ated, when the water has been
squeezed out of trust stocks and after
the investor has taken over the CON
troll of these companies it is probable
that the agitation against the trusts
will die away and public attention
will be directed to other matters.n

French Group Bonded.

John c. Garvin of Spokane,
who has been in this and the
Newsome section for several days
informs the MINING News that
he has taken an option on what
is known as the French group in
Station district, south of New

about Is miles west Of Elk City.
The property is owned by Peter
Proulx and l. D. Maxwell, two
old time prospectors whose good
luck in this line is the wonder of
Central Idaho. Both men have
made several stakes at the bus
mess in the last ten years. Mr..

GOOD WORK ON UNION GROUP
Manager Prader is Prepared for Extensive
Development this Winter

That q small force of men di-
rected intelligently and possessed
of the right spirit can accomplish
wonders along the line of mine
development is evidenced by the
present conditions of the Union
group, under the management of
Mr.. Andrew Prader, whose COM
pany acquired the property less
than year ago, and at no time
since has he had more than two
men in his employ, owing princi-
pally to the extreme quietness of
of business conditions. But with
this small force he has in that
short time sunk 85 feet on the
vein and drifted and cross-cut
over $50 feet, has cleared the
right of way through dense tim
ber and underground for and con-
structed a 3 1-2 mile wagon road,
built a shaft house, installed a
hoist, a saw mill, and built a res
idence. 1t is his intention to i'm
mediately sink to the 200-foot
level, block out his ore and then
install a mill; all of which he ex-
poets to accomplish by spring.
There is no reasonable doubt
that this property has prosper

Encouraging Dividends.

There has been a substantial
increase in the dividend pay
ments by American metal mines,
initiated by better prices for
their products, and also from the
gradual recovery from the pro-
longed labor troubles, notably in
Colorado. In October 81 of these
properties reported to the Engi-
neering and Mining Journal div

an amount that is equivalent to
nearly three times the payments

No less than six mines have
declared bonuses, and of these,

set to work by one man as quickly
as two men handle the bigger,
heavier machine, and the holes,
though of smaller bore, are drilled
to an equal depth as quickly. The
British question which annoyed
Kipling's creation, the inventor
of the 'Laughton-Zigler auto
matte field-gun," when he was
asked if his working parts (the
guns were not too light, eX-
presses a doubt which does not
worry the people who use the
American buggy, which in the
strength and grace of its running
gear stands to the clumsy wagon
of other days as a modern wind
ing engine to the dignifed ele-
phantine beam engine, whose
lofty housing dots the Cornish
landscape. This is depression
only warranted by the desire of
emphasizing the fact that de-
crease of weight or of bulk does
not always mean loss of efficiency.
The time is not far distant when
the two-man drill will be obsolete,
and even the one-man drill, with
its cumbersome column, will be
replaced by a device resembling
the pneumatic riveter. A ma
chine of this type is already used
successfully for making block
holes that is, drilling those
pieces of broken rock so large as
to require blasting before they
can be handled underground.

While the mine manager awaits
with patience the advent of a sat-
isfactory electric drill, he is doing
his best to get rid Of the two
man air drill, especially in stop
ing. Costs underground have
long suffered from that high
priced gentleman, the chuck
tender" or machine helper,
whose business it is to tap the
steel with q hammer when it
sticks in a hole and is in danger
of ''fitchering," to tighten a bolt
and do other small services. If
he did this work only, he would
indeed be an expensive employee,
but the fact is that the larger
drills are so heavy and cumber-
some that, beside the man guild
ing the drill, this other is abso-
lutely necessary in setting up"
or taking down" the machine.
when the helper is at work the
driller is idle, so that once a hole
has been started, one man only
is busy at a time. Therefore, in
effect, the chuck tender is paid
for a shift, while he is busy ac-
tually less than twenty minutes
in the hour. In many mines
where the ground is not too hard
the smaller one-man drills have
been adopted; a larger number of
them can be used with the same
expenditure in wages and in air,
with a resulting decrease in the
cost of driving. or stopping. The

comprises seven claims is situat-

and AZ Of the stones in a buck
skin sack.
According to the story attrib-
uted to Carson, he was prospect
ing for gold in the Bitter Root
mountains when one day he found
a streak of blue clay. This he
prospected for gold, but failing
to get any colors, was turning
away when he spied some bits of
small stones. He took several
with him and at his cabin that
night while examining them ac-
cidentially discovered that they
would scratch glass. He then
had the stones examined and
found that they were diamonds.
He kept the news of his find to
himself and went back and locat-
ed the claim. Since then he has
developed the ledge and found
that it continues for a distance of
about so feet.
Mr.. Carson may have the only
diamond mine in America. It is
said he is confident that he will
have no trouble in securing cap
ital to work the land and expects
that by next spring the machin-
cry will be installed and he will
be able to commence active op-
eratiOns. Moscow Journal.

where he worked about a year in
the gold diggings. AS he had
travelled considerably through
Australia and had some idea of
geology, he was impressed much
with the similarity between the
geological structure Of California
and that of Australia. Early in
1851 he returned to Australia and
started soon after from Sydney
to explore for gold in New South
Wales. His first trial of washing
earth there produced a small par
ticle Of gold and in each subse-
quent pan there were bright
specks Of the yellow metal. This
was along the Macquarie river.
Hargraves having satisfied him
self that gold existed in paying
quantisies, returned to Sydney
and addressed a letter to the COL
onial secretary, in which he prof
fered to to point out localities in
which gold existed in Australia
should the government award
him to the extent of $4,000 and
leave it to its generosity to make
additional reward commensurate
with the public benefit that might
result from the discovery. He
was informed that the govern
ment would not pay money to
him in advance, but that in the
event of his information proving
correct he would be given suitable
reward. This being satisfactory
Mr.. Hargraves gave to the gov
ernment information where gold
could be found and the result
Of this created the second
greatest stampede in search for
gold that the world ever saw.
Within a year following Har-
graves disclosure gold to the ex-
tent of $2O,OOO,OOO was taken
from New South Wales and Vie
toria, The governments gener-
osity to Mr.. Hargrave was most
marked. Mr.. Hargrave was ap-
pointed commissioner of crown
lands. The legislative council OF

400, was presented him at a pub
lie reception and many other
public and private rewards were

New Ore in American Eagle.

The many conflicting stories in
circulation as to the condition Of
the American Eagle from the
view point of it's probable ore re-
serve said to be hidden away in
the old workings by some men,
bers of the company with a
thrifty eye to future, led the
MINING News to make an inves-
tigation, with the result that it is
in a position to say that there is
not a hat full of ore anywhere in
the old workings above the sill
floor, but in tunnel No. 3 near the
southwest end line of the prop
erty, at a depth Of about 200 feet,
a good body of ore is opened up
which was growing in size and
increasing in value per ton with
every foot Of work being done
when the final shut down occur
red. This statement is based
principally on the evidence of a
reliable man who has worked in
every stope, drift, upraise and
tunnel in the mine. 1t was the
expectation Of Manager Evans
when he broke into this ore body
that he would be allowed to go
ahead and develop it, even though
the company would not permit
him to sink on the old shoot, un-
fortunately he was overruled in
this as well, for what reason has
never been given to the public.
