MINING NEWS.

Copper Era: The new SnannOl concentrating plant is now il operation. there being in all thirty nine tables, which are now hand ling 400 tons of ore per day. The entire plant is now treating iron 625 to $50 tons of ore per day, and making more than 20 tons of cop per per day. It is expected that the output will soon be increased to 700 tons of copper per month, a remarkable showing for new company.
 Florence Blade: The new steam hoist on the Copper Butte mine is now in operation and the double compartment working shaft is pro- gressing rapidly. The shaft reached the POO foot mark week before last and station was cut out at that point. Stations will be cut out at intervals of 100 and 200 feet as the shaft goes down, but no levels will be opened till the shaft shall have reached a depth of 800 feet. At POO feet the shaft is still in breccias showing ere.
 Our Mineral Wealth: Tales of new and richer gold strikes con- tinue to arrive from Gold Road and other parts of the county. Leasers on the Billy Bryan are making all kinds of money and much of the ore taken out runs up into the hundreds. Sheriff Lovin escorted another $20.000 bar of bullion from Gold Road mill into the hands of Wells Fargo early in the week. This makes about $40,- GOO in gold bars shipped during the past two weeks.
 Tucson Star: There appears to be great richness in store for Wm. Kemp, who is well-known as the general manager of the Copper Bell Mining Company. MT. Kemp is now in the city and expects to soCn leave for Vermont to be present at the final test of a 300-ton smelter, built on the oil fuel plan, in the patent of which he is largely in- terested. It is his invention, but a share has been transferred to the famous Westinghouse company, who are handling it. That con- cern seldom, if ever, takes up a patent that is not a winner and they claim that Mir. Kemp's ideas will save one-half the cost of smelt- ing as against the old coke burning method.
 Florence Blade: Our old friend Al Richmond was a visitor at Florence this week. He has taken over a lead-silver and gold-copper group, situated few miles south of the Old Copperosity mines, in the Casa Grande district, and has a force of men at work developing them. Al left Florence several years ago and went over to Socorro, New Mexico, where he took a technical course in mining, metal lurgy and geology. He combines this tehnical education with years of practical experience in prospect ing and mining, and, therefore, is a very competent mining engineer. The properties he is now develop ing make a good showing on the surface and Al will find their hid- den treasures if anyone can.

it was hard to believe she was making
her first appearance in the production.
Ben Johnson, in the title role, was salts
fying-as he always is. The calm, easy
going disposition of Mark Twain's famous
character was well portrayed and the
jests and jeers of the popuace Of Dawson
fell from his impenetrable; surface like
shrapnel from the armor Of first-cl SIS

twenty years waiting, he proved equal to

was dramatic, to say the least.

The Methods of the Shyster.

The democratic campaign managers
have adopted peculiar plan of opera
tions. In the absence of anything in
the shape Of live issues which can be
exploited with effect. they have con-
cocted series of questions by which
they hope to create a suspicion in the
mind Of the public with regard to
President Roosevelt 8 fitness for the
office he occupies. These questions are
a good deal like those the shyster law
yer propounds to the witness whose tes-
timony he is trying to break down. The
lawyer has no information to Justify
the inquiry and no reason to believe
that the implied charges are true, but
be proceeds to ask the witness if he will
swear that he was never convicted of
horse stealing, if he is sure he did not
at one time serve workhouse sentence
for beating his wife, if he will say that
his father is not in the poorhouse and
to remember that he is on his oath.
The Indianapolis Sentinel, which has
long enjoyed the reputation of being
about the most INSCRIPTIONS partizan
organ in. the country, has prepared
series of questions addressed to the
president which it knows that neither
he NOR any friend of prominence will
dignity by answering, and they are be-
ing sent broadcast on loose sheets by
somebody, presumably Tom Taggart
The question is asked as to whether the
administration Of President Roosevelt
has not been headstrong, arbitrary. and
spasmodic in it's methods and respon-
sible for the distraction of business and
the pervasion of the public mind with
dread and distrust'''; whether he
(Roosevelt) is not trying to establish
San Indefinite, irresponsible discre-
tionary and vague .,tbsolutism' wheth-
err he has "abridged or threatened the
abridgement Of the Constitution -;
whether he has "usurped the powers
of congress and the Judiciary and a
lot more Of the same kind. - 100,
The propounder does not dare to aver
that the president has done anything
to- justify these insinuaaions; he only
tries. to sneak into the minds Of the
uninformed and the incautious suspicion
and prejudice that could not be planted
there in any honorable and manly way,
but for which there is absolutely no
foundation. The man who invented
this kind Of politics lives upon pretty
low plane, but the democratic cam

YEAST CAKES INSTEAD OF IDEAS

The three poorest newspapers in Greater New
York are the only ones supporting Roosevelt--the
Tribune, the Mail and the Press. And all OF
these practically owe their existence to their I'M
compromising repubicanism. With the pos
sible exception Of the Tribune, they have other
excuse for existng.-Augusta Chronicle.
That is nonsense. Barring the Herald,
the Tribune Is as good a newspaper as
any published in. New York. The Mail
would rank well also if somebody would

In order to do SO It puts two Minnesota
districts in the doubtful column. If its In

mate is not Of much value. The only dis

have been able to accomplish anything in
recent years Is the fifth where John Lind
is the present incumbent but his decision

not to specify which two Of the Minnesota
districts it regards as doubtful. !! 80

determined looking man, about SO years of age.
with coal-black hair standing straight up from
his head, expressionless eyes, prominent cheek
bones and a powerful jaw relieved by an impe-
rtai. II Gafmness is great characteristic Of Ad

without any sign of interest emotion. 1t was
not by any means unkindly look, but simply
the look of whose body present but
whose mind elsewhere Just that same look
Nelson might have had during one of those lonely
vigils before Brest or Toulon a century ago.

nation. l never saw any one who impressed me

thing above the ordinary ruck Of men. shall

his staff and the representatives of the powers
Shorter in. stature than any present he never
theless, like the mighty Corsican, stood out be-
fore all, and was the cynosure of all eyes. The
representatives of every nationality, some of
them actually hostile to the Japanese cause, felt
directly as they came into the presence Of the
fighting admiral the spell of his fascination and,
sinking all differences, crowded round this little
man in a mad endeavor to shake him by the
hand. We drank the health Of the admiral in

ago elected three populists and one repub-
lican to the house. Two years ago four
republicans were elected in close fight
with four populists. This year there are
no populists or democratic candidates In
the field and the four republican nomina-
tons, which used to go begging, are con-
tested by nine candidates. The four old
members, Walz, Jones, Bondy and Hau-
gen, have filed for denomination. Against
them are Elmer e. Adams, H. T. Hille, D.
F. Rae and Bronson Strain, all of Fergus
Falls, and ]. L. Livingstone of Pelican
Rapids. 9 It comes nearly being country
against city, as the four old members are
all from outside Fergus Falls. C. N. Hau-
gen Of Pelican Rapids is the veteran of

Messrs. Walz and Bondy had little to say,
but made good records. The new candi-
dates present some good material also

ling members Of the last house, has filed
for denomination, which is conceded
him. His colleague, DR.. A. D. Larson o!
Herman, has an opponent in j. e. Peter
son of Barrett.

candidates for representative from Ken
Vile county, is legislative veteran He
