vass of William T. Jerome for District
Attorney of New York County was not
more important than the recent declara-

"We shall no longer use u columns
to help elect men who are unworthy OF
or unqualified for the positions for
which they have been named. In the
interest Of fair play we shall notify
such candidates of our decision, hoping
that they may see fit to withdraw from
the contest. If they conclude to remain
on the ticket and better men for the
places have been named by the Demo-
cratic or Prohibition party u support
will go to those men.
"We are stating our position in the
hope that future Republican caucuses
and conventions in our city and county
may be prompted to choose none but
desirable candidates and in order that
candidates may not expect us to sup
port them if they do not come up to the
mark"

OUTPUT OF BINGHAM MINES.
Limited Only by Capacity Of Shelters
and Mills-Copper Values Increase.

Mine Superintendent A. p. Mayberry
of the United States Mining Company
is authority for the statement that the
Bingham district. Utah, will be able to
supply q tonnage that will occupy the
entire capacity Of the plants now in
operation at Salt Lake, and Of the
assured new plants and engagements Of
existing plants. In his opinion the out.
put oil the camp will be limited only by
the capacity of the smelters and mills
10 handle the ores. Mr.. Mayberry says
that the copper values in the porphyry
formations increase with depth, and in
support of this he now points out that
the water flowing from the formation
carries in solution one-tenth Of n per
zen copper. which is submitted as an
Indication that the formation below the
permanent water level will contain
higher values. This same authority
predicts that some method will be de-
vised whereby the copper in the mine
water can be saved at a profit.-Mining

Clarence Hersey's letter to the Lead
VILE, Col. Herald Democrat written
from Eureka on Nov. IL. Mr.. Hersey
is now engaged in writing a series of
letters on Nevada mining camps for the
Herald Democrat, and his first letter
was written from Eureka. 1t follows:
The great discoveries Of Tonopah,
Goldfeld aud other new "desert
camps" are attracting the attention of
the mining world, so that even a Colo
RADIO man need not be accused of dis
loyalty to his own State in going to in
vestigate.
We must not forget that before Colo
RADIO was hardly known the richest lode
in the United States had been discovered
in Nevada, and our first great carbonate
camps were also in that State.
Battle Born Neyada's Great Lodes.
In the hour of our country's great
need "battle- born" Nevada began pour
ing the Comstock's four hundred
millions into the Nations lap; and
this tremendous wealth so attracted
resolute miners from the ends of the
earth that Eureka soon began her
bimetallic output of two hundred
millions more. and new camps appeared
all over the better. watered portions of
the State.
Hamilton, with her high-grade chic.
rides built a city in a night, but was
not prepared to handle the baser ores;
the Comstock and the Eureka Rich
mond, more substantial, soon had rail-
roads, and Nevada rightfully claimed
the two greatest miuing camps in the
United States.
They o found new rivals in neigh.
boring States, and Bingham, Butte,
and especially Leadville. began to take
the center of the mining stage, and
with the slump in silver Nevada be-
came discouraged and dropped b-hind.
When Eureka Was Booming.
The time had not come for her more
complete development by better trans
portation facilities and the great
mics of modern mining and smelt-
ing methods. When Eureka was the
greatest carbonate camp in America"
her S4.mile railroad from the Southern
Pacific, at Palislde, paid for It's build
ing aud equipment the first year; her
smelters were treating much ore from
outside camps, besides the local product
and the hil,s for 90 miles around were
tripped for mining timbers, fuel and
charcoal.
Everything was run on high-pressure
system with expensive methods in
vogue, aud ~ruinous freight rates and
smelling charges prevented handling
low grade ores, so Eureka ven down;
her smelters closed, and miuing nearly
ceased some Is years ago, and her popu-
lation dwindled from several thousand
people to as many hundred and many
of these remained because of its being
the county seat a ID having a desirable
climate at an elevation of only $500 feet.
Old Mines Will Be ReOpened.
With the Tonopah-G oldfeld excite
ment Nevada takes a new lease OF life
and while the desert camps have re-
ceived the most attention, the old
bonanza camps are being sought out
and r~eopened by operators in the new
school of scientific mining.
This is just what has happened here
at Eureka. The United States Mining
aud Smelling Company has discovered
such values and prospects in the Eureka
Richmond lode that they are to take
over the whole properties and operate
