Ole New Schedule.

The new schedule of smelling rates for
low grade dry iron and copper ores which
went into effect Tuesday. has not had
any perceptible increase in the ore ship
nepts as vet. The fact is, thst in order
to Increase the present tonnage mater
tally it will be necessary to get an addi-
tional number of ore teams, as every ore
hauler in the camp has all that he can
attend to at the present time supplying
the mills and sampler.
A number of the larger properties have
started sampliug their veins and dumps
with the object of ascertaining what they
can ship under the new rates of smelling
charges, aud a number OF others have
started work on ore bodies of which they
know the contents, and they will ship
this produc, as fast as it can be hauled

Second DEMOCRATIC Spasm

The democratic county convention was
held al lawson las, Saturday amid peace
full Surroundings. The surroundings
were about the only thing in the vicinity
that had not been whipped into line by
the boss, and as consequence Was cx-
tremely Submissive aud docile. To look
at the beautiful building from the out
side; one would never suspect for mo-
men, the nature OF lis contents. re-
port p the convention said that il met
and did business like men," This is de
MED by an authority who said that the
dancing floor is ruined because the dele
gates stamped on the floor with their
boots like women. The present demo
cratic office- holders would hold up their
hands in holy horror had they heard
what crime it is for them 20 hold offict.
when there are so many good democrats
without an office. What they want is II
change, So that the good democrats can
get IN 10 mismansge for a time. In the
discussion of the constitution il was de-
clded unanimously that more county Off
GERS should be elected so that more mem
hers of the party could be taken care of.
No democrat Is ever happy unless he has
office. and the crowd at Lawson was
a most miserably unhappy one.
The T. solutions adopted after hall an
hour of "concordant'' discussion would
be recognized anywhere as resolutions

Candidate Davis wealth is not organ

to help get it organized. They recog-
nize Parker, from his picture) as a
man with fearless determination to give

needed. more democratic government
more Off es. They also declared in favor
Of eight hours. The proxy from Beaver
Brook made the best suggestion in regard
to this. and it was to the effect that the
county Offices {, r convenience to the pub
lie should be run continuously, and that
three officers for each Office be elected,
each one TO serve an eight-hour shift.
The republican state administration was
condemned for piling up an Indebtedness,
while very ccnsideraiely, nothing was
said about the county administration do
ing the same thing.
During the melee the following de'e
gates were named for the state conven-
ton: v. I. Noxon. L. l.. Reginnitter,
John Owen, X. c. Bonney, +. l.. Colon.
c. f. Worth, G. S. Wiikie. J. N. Stewart,
J. S. Fisher, B. j. OConnell. ]. II. Robe
son, ]. F. Kaminky, II. F. Swanson,
Frank Percy and I,ouis Jest.
The above named war horses with a
few compromises to keep the kindergar-
ten quiet, entered the lists for the various
other conventions.
The official organ reports that there
were contests, but no quarrels, no slate
no boss and no favorites, and that every
shade (blondes and brunettes) of demo-
cratic opinion was present, and that the
majority dictum was accepted without
question" To those who have witnessed
a democratic assemblage Of any kind,
this must be most palpable statement.

the convention would have better sale

without interfering with other opera
tons If the new schedule shl uid remain
IN effect for any length of time. a number
OF old properties which have been lying
idle Tor years, will undoubtedly be started
ap, and in this case it is probable that the
work Of opening them up will disclose
richer ore bodies, and even should the
smelter rates be increased they would
continue operations In this manner the
district would be directly benefited.
1t has been stated that the new sched-
ule will effect the concentrating mills,
and In order to ascertain the effect, Sift-
ings has had the following table prepared
