TOnOpah Led the way.
After many years OF Rip Van

state. the rush is fairly on again ID
Nevada. and this section OF the west
IS now nj Of the most popular fields
for mining venture and investment
to be found in the Rocky mountain
region. Nevada, with its great min
eral wealth, was a bulwark oil

period of the civil war, but its glory
departed with the decentralization oil

chief production during It's early bis
tory Of bonanza camps and prollhc

fury mining has been on the decline
within the environments OF our sister
commonwealth.
With the discovery OF Tonopab,
however, a few years ago, an awak-
ening came to the sagebrush state,
and now it is on the high tide OF
prosperity, and the fame Of its new
fields and avenues of wealth reaches
from the Pacific to the Atlantic; from
San Francisco to Philadelphia, and
SO rich are the discoveries recently
made in the desert camps OF this sec
ton that people are rushing to these
new Eldorados by the hundreds and
by the thousands, and, so productive
have these new finds become that
thriving cities have sprung up, as il

Since the discovery Of Tonopah
the mining industry in Nevada ha
been imbued with new life and vigor

so great is the interest now bein.

New Ore Process.

A new process for treating rebel
lious ores and extracting their gold
and silver has been discovered by NJ.
Vagouny, an assistant in the chemis-
try department of the University Of
California. Should this process prove
a commercial and practical success
it means a saving of millions to the
mining industry. Mr.. Vagouny says
his process will be specially valuable
in the exploitation of silver mines.
Like cyaniding," said Mr.. Vagouny,
ssthis is essentially a wet process. A
stock solution is made up up as fol-
lows: Some two-thirds per cent eric
chloride of commerce, about 20 per
cent common salt aud one-half per
cent hydro-chloric acid. This solu-
tion is made to pass through electro
lvtic cells with carbon electrodes,
where it is charged with chlorine
under the influence Of the current
The solution is then continuously lee
over into ore watts containing crushed
ore, and there it is given a chance tc
act upon the sulphuretted silver ano
gold, dissolve the latter and thus re
move the valuables from the mass o.
ore by simple teaching or filtration
This rich solution is now made to flow
through ~electrolytic watts again
where not only are the silver and golt
readily obtained in the metallic con
dition on the cathodes, but the solu
ton itself is made to become richie
with simultaneous regeneration o
the ferric chloride. The solution nov
being ready to do more dissolving, !
is again led into the ore watts, leached
e~lectrolyted and resent over into tn.
ore watts, and so on cycle after cycle.

Salt Lake Tribune"
To a resident of Utah who understands
the situation.here the answer is easy. 1t
would be quite impossible to convict Pres
ident Smith of poiygamous living, or I'M
lawful cohabitation, as 1t ls called, in any
court here, unless he himself voluntarily
confessed the offense The public attorney
who prosecuted'too vigorously would new
er be elected to sny Office again; the Judge
who might be 100 severe might as well
never be a candidate again; the Mormon
juror who consented 10 a verdict that was
resisted by the accused would likely be
disfellowshipped and perhaps ruined; the
witness, too jealous, would, perhaps, be
under the ban.
Under these circumstances, well known
to President Smith, for he would be the
one upon whom all the penalties possible
would come, he knew that he was perfect
" safe from prosecution for his violation
of the law. And in making his declaration
on this point before the committee, he left

should certainly secure.

GOVERNMENT EXPENSES

"Some Of the Virginia newspapers are
asking whether or not the States expenses
under the new Constitution will be re-
duced. 1t will be recalled that several
years ago, when the question of calling a
Constitutional Convention was first agi-
tated, it was claimed by some of the
friends of the movement that the expenses
of government under the old Constitution
we're very much greater than they should
be, and that under new Constitution re-
forms were possible, which would greatly
reduce expenses. Especially was it claimed
that the expenses of the county govern
ment, unuer the old Constitution, were
enormously greater than they should be.
The convention was held, new Consti
tuition made and promulgated, and now
remains to be seen whether or not there
will be any material reduction in ex-
penses.
lit seems to u.s." says the Lynchburg
News, IN discussing the subject, "that the
issue Of fiscal reform under the new Con-
stitution may not depend entirely upon
the Constitution itself, but very largely
upon the General Assembly" There is no
doubt about that The Constitution SIM
ply makes the general rules of govern
ment; the details must be worked out by
the General Assembly, and the expenses
of government depend very largely upon
the action of that body. AS for county
expenses, anybody can see by reference to
the auditors report that they are made
great or email by the board of supervisors.
The fixed charges upon the counties are
very small. The salaries Of officers consti'
tute meagre part of the expense of coun-
ty government. The principal charges are
for support of the schools, working the
roads, taking care of the poor, and SO on.
We never believed that our form of gov
eminent in Virginia was unduly expensive,
and we do not expect to see very much
under the new Constitu-
ton. Times Dispatch, March IL, 1904.
The above ia another confession of how
the people were deceived as to what was
to come from the making ola new Consti-
tuition for Virginia. "Some Of the friends
of the movement" did not alone claim
that the Expenses of government were
much greater than they should be-" but

Local Option In Vermont.
The Outlook.

The Outlook.
Last year, when for the first time In
half century the people of Vermont en-
joyed the privilege of deciding for them
selves, in their respective municipalities,
whether liquor should or should not be
sold legally, ninety.two cities and towns
voted for license. In nine out Of the four.
teen counties the same decision was reach.
ed. This year there has come revulsion;
only three of the counties vote for license,
and less than one.half as many cities and
towns.
Shouters for State prohibitory law
claim this as victory for their plan and
predict return to the old system under
which there was free rum" with hypo.
critical law forbidding all liquor selling.
We regard it rather as healthy evidence
of the successful operation Of a syetem
which allows the people to determine the
policy that shall control in their respec-
tive communities.

The United States Navy Not as Strong
as Made to Appear
Cleveland "Plain Dealer Dem.l.
The remark made the other day in the
course of the Daval debate in the House
that the Monroe Doctrine is as strong as
the United States navy and no stronger
gave peculiarly forceful expression to a
generally accepted truth. 1t is surprising
TO see prevailing in Congress a wholly er-
rdneous idea of the actual strength of the
navy. Popular ignorance on the point
might be excusable, but several represen-
tatives cherish delusion which it is to be
hoped will be dispelled by the debate now
in Congress.
The point is raised that further extern
sion of our naval armament is uncalled
for, since the United States ranks third
among the naval Powers. 1t is true that
the United States is now building a pro.
portionately larger number of ships than
any other nation, and that when all the
building programs of all the Powers are
completed the United States will then &C.
cupy third place, behind only Great Brit
ain and France. But all this is a matter
of years, and in the meantime it is only
tonnage ahoAt that counts; and in this
vital respect the United States is not third,
but fifth.

already obsolete or fast becoming so. Ma

will be several years before these can all
be placed in commission and by that time
several fighting ships now in service will
be sntiquated. 1t is worse than folly to
attempt to find the effectiveness Of any ia.

Routine of Chinese School.

Each Chinese schoolboy must furnish
his OVID stool and table for school work
and the "four precious articles" which
are the ink slab, cake of India ink, a
brush for writing and paper. With these
be begins his weary task of learning to
write and read the thousands Of Chinese
chan acters. These are to open the way to
the Chinese classics. and knowledge OF
this ancient literature and wisdom means
education to the Chinese. At the OPEN

Through Northern Eyes
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
From all accounts the republican organ
lzation, headed by Park Agnew and Geo
E. Bowden, put forth at Norfolk fal
more aggressive and determined effort tt
maintain its own supremacy than it hal
ever expended in championing Republi
can candidates or policies at the polls
Under it's present management, indeed
the Republican party in Virginia has al
most ceased to he factor in State cam
paigns. In 1897 the Agnew State Com
mittee opposed putting any candidate for
Governor in the field, and was only sham
ed into supporting one by he action of a
Republican convention called despite the
committees wi.hes and against its protest.
Since then mastery policy of inaction
and non resistance has been proclaimed
and practiced, in consequence of which,
in State where twenty years ago three
Congressional districts were Republican
and at leaet two we're debatable, Republi-
can nominations now 60 begging in every
district but one.
In the face of all encouragement within
the Republican organization, and In spite
of the limitations put on suffrage by the
new State constitution, the Republicans of
the Ninth Virginia District have main
tanned their strength and spirit, and two
years ago they elected representative
who now sits in Congress, the Hon. Camp
bell Slemp. Colonel Slemp received in
1902 I3, 694 votes. Republican candidates
for Congress in the other nine districts re-
ceived 24,345 votes. In the Second Dis
trict-Mr. Bowden's-2,9l7 votes were
cast. In the Eighth-Mr. Agnew's-2,Ol1
votes we're cast Yet-as appears from
the proceedings at Norfolk-when a de-
mand for more aggressive and public spir'
tied party leadership was made from the
only section of the State In which mill
tant Republican survives, that demand
was defeated by delegates from the dis
tricts in which RepublicanisIn has been
allowed to languish, and from which
delegates had been seated representing
virtually a non-voting population. The
Ninth Districts appeal having been
denied, Mr.. Bowden was designated
az Vmginls's representative on the
Republican National Committee, and
Mr.. Agnew reelected as the chair
man of the state committee, the Norfolk
convention apparently considered all its
political responsibilities discharged, and
adjourned without even waiting for re-
port from its committee on resolutions.
No commentator was given the national
nor were the delegates-at'
large instructed to support President
Roosevelt for the Republican presidential
nomination.
"Giye us the party machinery and we
are not who gets the votes" is evidently
he motto of the statesmen now in control
# the Republican organization in Vir-
yinia. The constitution guarantees each
tate republican form of government"
Would it not be good idea if the Repub-
lean national organization undertook to
the bona fde Republican voters
n Virginia in similar measure Of political
protection?

all the advocates of the Constitutional
Convention movement at the beginning
made that the paramount plea for calling
a convention. The Times Dispatch and
the Lynchburg News were among the
foremost in presenting this argument for
having a new constitution. We have their
arguments before us and speak from
actual knowledge
The movement for holding consttu-
tionsl convention was inaugurated by Sen
a'or Wilhers, of DAnville, and he was
afterwards menOer of the Convention
which framed the new Constitution. The
sole idea upon NDch he made his fight
was to reduce the expenses of our State
government; and in tue white districts of
the State The chief appeal made for the
support of the voters was that the ex-
penses of the State, the counties aud
towns would be greatly reduced by having
a new Constitution. The Constitutional
Convention ratified and endorsed that
contention by reducing the rate OF tax
alton from forty to thirty cents on the
hundred dollars of property. What will
the people think of the Democratic party
when its chief metropolitan organ comes
forward with the following acknowledg.
ment?
we never believed that our fOrm of
government in Virginia was unduly ex-
pensive, and We do not expect to see very
much improvement under the new Con-
stitution."
This does not tally very well with utter
ances of our Richmond contemporary
prior to the making of the new Constitu'
ton, nor with the positive assurances OF
the Virginia Democracy.
The fact of the business is that the ex-
penses of the government will be greatly
enlarged by the Democratic party in the
State with the so.called reforms it has
made by the new Constitution. The Times
Dispatch sees this and is getting ready to
meet the cries of the people against the
wicked deception practiced upon them.
