recently told at a meeting. Senator
Clark. who is perhaps the wealthiest
individual mine owner in the United
states. had a development option on
some claims near the Copper Queen,
IN the Bisbee district, some years ago,
His manager sunk shaft 400 feet and
coming upon considerable water the
work was abandoned and the option
thrown up. Recent DEVELOPMENTS
have shown that shaft was within 50
feet of bed of copper ore and that
instead of abandoning the develop
ment when striking water it should
have been continued, for the finding
OF the water is fairly certain indi-
cation of the proximity of ore in that
district. It is likewise said that the
Verde mine at Jerome was twice con.
demned by a leading copper expert
before Senator Clark took it up. Many
other instances of this kind might be
told, all pointing to the fact that no
mans judgment is infallibIe in the
matters of mining and demonstrating
that all the mines have not yet been
found, even in the districts long de-
veloped and extensively prospected.-

Say!

If in reality the beef trust is per
sistently conspiring to lower the price
OF cattle on the hoof to the injury OF
producers, and is treating with con.
tempt an injunction which orders the
abandonment Of such practices, there
is but one thing to be done, That Is
to take prompt action to convince the
trust that 1t is not mightier than the
laws and the government whose duty
1t Is to enforce them.
Something is likely to happen in a
few weeks in Judge Grosscups court
which will attract the attention oil
the American people. who have be-
lieved for years that they were being
fieeced by the beef trust.--Helena In
