The Republican landslide, last Tues
day. was not only great victory for
the party as Il whole and splendid
personal tribute to Theodore RooSe-
Welt. but 1t was also an evidence If the
sound sense and good Judgment Of
Chairman Cortelyou. His management
OF the Republican campaign was moth
ing short OF perfect. In his quiet way,
and with much less money than had
been used in previous campaigns he
accomplished wonders He did things
differently than any other chairman Of
the other great parties ever did. but the
results are an Impressive rindication
of both the man and his methods. MIR.
Cortelyou has been making history in
the past year or two. and as he is a
Young man yet. the country will proba :

The Next Congress.

In the present House Of Representa-
tivcs the political division is as fol-
lows: Republicans. 2G1: Democrats.

days election. the Republican major
ity in the Text House vii! be three
times as large. or close TO 100. The
returns thus far indicate that there
Will be 240 Republicans and lag Demo-
Gratis. giving the Republicans a ma
jOrity Of "a votes. The complete re-
turns from some districts not yet
heard from are likely to show an in
crease rather than a decrease in the
Republican majority. Outside Of the
solid South. the Democrats will have
only about - representatives in the
next House. less than half their pres
.nt number from this section. Three
great states will have solid Republican
delegations, which had one or more
Democratic representatives in the
present House. These are California.

Delaware. with but a single repre-
sentative. are sending Republicans in

of PENNSYLVANIA. with % representa-

or &c The Republican gain in the
House is not so surprising as it is for
the Republicans to hold their own and
little better in the Senate since the
proportion of retiring Republicans in

Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1904-02-06
PRESENT

In the minds of some people there is
apparently a feeling that the great OPP
portunities for returns from mining in
vestments are passed, and that a large
return from a small investment can no
longer be expected. This is a mistaken
impression, however, and nothing could
be further from the truth. Today the
inventive genius of mankind is being
applied to the science of mining to a
greater extent than it is applied in any
other fields, says American Advisor.
New and improved methods, both chem
ical and mechanical, are being brought
out for treating, and the results are far
better than those of a few years ago.
The science of geology has also PROCESS
ed and is making rapid progress, so
that today the character of geological
formations are better understood and
less mistakes are made in the location
of mining properties than ever before,
thus increasing very greatly the chances
of success in all mining enterprises.
Our country has been endowed with re-
sources which are only partially devel-
oped, although it now stands ahead of
any country in the world in the produc-
ton Of valuable metals.
1t is safe to predict that within a few
years there will be opened up in our
W country some of the greatest bo-
nanza mines ever located in the world.
and that these discoveries will be more
startling and produce greater wealth
than anything thus far on record. The
investor should endeavor consequently
to get into a good company which is
located in a known mineral field, and
stay with it. Some of the companies
now offering stock for development pur-
poses are bound to be gigantic success
es. By using good judgment and inves-
tigating first a careful investor has
every opportunity today of acquiring
stocks in mines which may turn out to
be Homestakes in the future. The op-
portunities of such brilliant investments
are not only not a thing of the past.
but are actually more numerous TODAY
and better within reach of the investor
than they were ten years ago.

In late papers we netite that the ac-

section. We are doing a great deal of
work, but at present there is little or

filled. Good men are always able to
get work, but just at present there are
lots of good men here.
The Lucky Lad company are still
drifting and report their ore body as

Work on the Granite group still con-
tinues to show good results. The shaft
is now down 40 feet and more ore is
coming in all the time. This vein is IN
questionably a north extension of the St.
Paul, and the Granite company w all

shaft is down so feet cross cutting will
be commenced. AS great depth can be
obtained, and the lead followed all the

Advancement in Mining.

and there is and will be for some time
to come plenty of room for all to get IN
on the ground floor in exploiting and
developing in the lines of legitimate
mining.
Improved machinery, scientific knowl-
edge and the best of business manage
ment have all to do with placing this
business on snch a staple basis that no
one need hesitate to invest in legitimate
mining enterprises. 1t is an enormous
ly profitable business, when undertaken
along intelligent business lines. 1t is
likely to prove a most Improbable
proposition when business principles are
not followed. But what enterprise is
profitable when such foolish methods
are pursued? Once in awhile successes
result from enterprises conducted with
no display of. business judgment or
even ordinary intelligence, but the man
who courts luck has a tickle mistress
and one which invariably proves a cost

Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1904-02-06

Mining today is in such a position
that it has the right to invite capital
towards it's advancement, as thorough
ly reliable, profitable and safe.
Speculation no longer governs it, and
thousands of people at the present time
attracted by the unparalleled prosperity
of the mining industry, are investing in
high class mining securities of those
companies whose enterprises are con-
Quoted on a business-like and system
attic basis.
The results are certain, for statistics
show fewer failures in legitimate min
ing enterprises, than in any other bust
ness. The interest on the Investment
is larger and no branch of. industry in
which man engages promises returns
commensurate or prolific of such hand
some profits. e y
The chance for the moderate investor
is first class for acquiring an indepen-
dent fortune, for, with all it's advance
ment, mining is yet an infant industry,
