Miss Ts1csevelt's Right TO Privacy
(New York Tribune.)

The President displays his sood
sense in promptly putting stop to the
plan for raising a large sum of money
by popular subscription as a wedding
present to his daughter. Such thlng
could not fail to be embarrassing to
Miss Roosevelt herself. as well as
offensive to the President and extreme
ly unfortunate so far as it might tend
to affect the relation between the Pres
ident's family and the people The
Presidents family are rightly treated
everywhere with distinguished courtesy
but they are Self-respectinS private
citizens who neither have official
claims to tribute nor ask charity.
Wedding gifts are, or should be. the
offerings of personal and family
friends, and a sum made UP by an or
ganized appeal for an individual per-
sonally unknown to almost all the SUBJ
scribers would lack every quality
which properly attaches to such a gift.
1t is to be hoped that an American
young woman. even when her father IS
President. will be allowed 20 enjoy her
romance and marry in decent privacy,

We were told this week of farming
land about TWO miles of Claremont
selling for $50 an acre, and we know
of a farm one mile from Maiden, con-
tanning 100 acres that the owner
values at 500 an acre. The old no
ton that a man cannot afford to pay
much for land to farm on is going
out Of date in Catawba county. And
why not?' People are just beginning
to learn how to raise cotton. On
the same lands that they used to con-
slider a half bale of cotton 10 the
acre, they are now raising a bale,
and a good many farmers this year
made their whole crops average more
than q bale to the acre. Some be-
lieve that improved methods of fer
tilizing and cultivation will soon
make two bales to the acre a COM
mon thing. But at the rate or

addition will resume work in the
shaft now down seventy-6ve feet.
This shaft is sunk on a vein showing
values from $40 to S130. Charles

one Of the best leases.
The Paymaster is prosecuting for
the vein and from the rich shipments
made by this country two years ago
there is little doubt but the chute
will be opened at the present depth.
Near the Paymaster is the Basel
group, owned by DR.. G. Schick and
associates, On this property d
three foot vein Of copper ore averag-
ing Il per cent is shown at a depth
OF fifteen feet, and it is the intention
to sink the shaft to a depth of 100

Tonopah the coming week, to start
up operations at the mine after be-
ing closed during the past year.
The mine has shipped a large ton

demand for such ores has increased.

will begin shortly.

Alpine has proven that in one case,
at least, the permanency Of the vein
and uniform values are stronger and
better at a depth Of 300 feet than at
any point above. There is no ques-
ton but that this district offers
greater inducements for the invest
ment Of capital in legitimate enter
prizes than many newer ard better

tract the attention Of monied men
and many promising properties have
changed hands recently. The fol
lowing article from the pen Of the
Tonopah correspondent Of the Salt
Lake Mining Review on that section,
will prove interesting reading to the
many Tonopahites who own property
or hold stock in companies operating
there.
The recent advances in the price
Of silver, lead and copper has
brought the thoughtful mining men
of this section to a realization 81 the
fact that a district whose surface is
rich in these metals offers greater in
ducement for the investment OF con
servatiye capital than many districts
where the sensational assay is OBJ
tanned and also where the cost Of
operating is so heavy that the more
careful mar hesitates to put his
money in the ground. This district
is Lone Mountain aud though long
neglected, even when its merits as a
producer Of luxiug ores has been
known, the PARKWAY country has
had the call and thousands Of fortune
hunters have passed it by, looking to
the far end of the rainbow for its
mythical bag Of gold.
Lone Mountain mining district is
situated twelve miles from Tonopah
in a westerly direction and is thirty
miles long by twelve miles in width.
The Goldfield railroad passes along
the base Of the mountain and many
OF the principal mines will be but two
to four miles distant. Now that the
completion Of the Western Ore Pur.
chasing company's new sampler is
but a question of a few weeks, the
marketing of ores will commence in
the neal future and with develop
ments from the work now going on
it is safe to saw that another produc-
ing district, second only to Tonopah,
will be added to the record of south
western Nevada.
The Nevada Alpine, owned by
Lynch and O'Meara, has been a
steady producer for owe two years
and was the first mine in this section
of Nevada to pay dividends. 1t is
o shipping about S12, 600 monthly,
with a total expense of less than
$1,000. The policy of its fortunate
owners has been to develop two tons
TO each ton shipped to the Salt Lake
smelters, ana + reserves of nearly
a million dollars are now shown.
At the Columbia ore is being
sacked that averages 5000 per ton,
with the values holding the same and
the vein getting wider as depth is
attained. The Acknowledgment
has opened a nice chute of ore at a
depth Of 100 feet. The ore at this
point is fully six feet in width and
carries good values in lead, silver
and copper. John A. Kirby recently
visited this property and also made a
casual Inspection Of that part of the
district, and expressed himself as be-
ing fully satisfied that future dis
closures in Lone Mountain would,
without doubt, furnish huxing ores
sufficient to justify the erection Of
