ore Going $500 per Ton Opened Up at
Gold Mountain

An important strike was made this
week on the Polo claim Of the Cole

mountain where the annual assess
ment work Is being done ON a strong
vein four feet wide, says the Tonopah
Bonanza The shaft which Is now
down 40 feet cut a seam on the hanging
wall side OF the vein varying IN width
from 4 10 S inches, and 0ssaying as
high as S5l2 per ton. The company
win continue development work, and
the strike has not only caused a lively
enquiry for the stock, but has also
again drawn attention to this district,
where the Tonopah Gold Mountain
mine, east OF the Colehan on the
same strike, is developing into
great property.
owing to important and valuable
mining interests In other districts re-
Quirlng his personal attention, Arthur
Kunzc has resigned his position as
manager OF the Ray Con, TO take effect
today The mine Is looking better
than ever the present workings be-
ing In 30 inches OF high grade shipping

Chicago, Dec. Northumberland
rule strong all through the session.
The strength in the northwest markets
caused extensive short covering,
Minneapolis market ruled very strong
scoring an advance of one and quar-
ter cents. The theory Of the trade in
that city Is that receipts from this
time on will continue to fall off, and
the opinion seems to be changing as
TO the immediate course of prices, Con-
ditions underlying the market as we
view them remain unchanged At the
moment we see lothng to warrant a
bull market In wheat 1t Is a trading
market with good swings In either d.

Corn,--The feature Of this market to-
day was the persistent buying by a
prominent elevator concern who
seemed TO have an unlimited order I'm
the May option. The strength induced
a little short covering but no urgent
demand appeared from this source. We
continue to feel that May corn under
i5c will not hurt much to buy. Mag
ket is largely a scalplng affair and
very professional
Oats,-Short covering and strength

Words to the Wise.

In the course of the current month
about twenty citizens associations
have renewed their sessions in the
District of Columbia. AS fruit of
those sessions the columns Of the
local newspapers and the files Of the
District Offices will be hlled this win
ter with petitions for improvements
or protests against more or less gem
uine nuisances. The Times has the
greatest esteem for these associa-
lions. That esteem moves it now, at
the beginning of their new year, to
express few words Of warning.
The Districts citizens associations
have been active, some Of them, for
more than ten years. In all that time
they have never once obtained,
through a union of forces, a single
object of general advantage. II is
true they have occasionally approved
some general project with practical
unanimity. But they have never yet
set on its feet a single movement OF
general character.
On the contrary, they have been
concerned to the general exclusion of
larger interest in fighting vigorously
each for its own district and in prac-
teal disregard of the others. The
manifestations of any other spirit
which marked last winters sessions
Of District citizens associations
could be counted with a single breath.
This is so true that the public esti-
mate of these associations-whi
are the only referendum the District
possesses-is that of small bodies oc-
cupied with the little affairs Of little
communities.
Those who know the proceedings
of these associations will be quick to
deny this general estimate and ready
to cite half a dozen occasions when
half the associations did give their
approval to the same general project.
The Times must not be misunder-
stood. 1t will be quite as prompt to
defend these associations as institu-
tons Of the greatest public utility
But it does not believe, and the COM
munity does not believe, they possess
| half the influence which might be
theirs If they were to say the Dis
! trict of Columbia oftener and "the
Northeast suburbs" or the Potomac
/ Highlands" less.
