is in Sumpter today, en- route to
the scene Of his earliest mining
triumphs., which Is Geiser, Ore,

Bonanza.
When questioned by a Miner re-
porter as to the truth OF the report
that the Bonanza will soon be re
opened, Mr. Geiser could not
answer. 81 have merely been in
structed," he said, "to visit the
mine, look It over and report to the
company. BY order Of the directors

which would seem to indicate that the
company does not mean to abandon
the property just yet awhile"
Mr.. Geiser confirmed the accuracy
Of the statement made recently In
these columns, that he had signed
contract with the Pittsburgh
stock holders In the Standard OIL
company, to look after their western
mining interests. He says that he
has been instructed to hold himself
In readiness to carry out at least flve
different commissions, including a
trip tn Mexico. one to Arizona, and
one involving the Bonanza.

Geiser. "that ! am somewhat In the

Pacific ocean as the hole from which the moon was dug. However. Darwin says that this operation occcurred at least sixty million years ago, so we suppose there is no record of It ex- cept the hole, and that Is full of salt water so we are unable to tell whether 1t fits the moon or not.
 It must not be forgottenfi though, that there is another theory extant as to the cause of the crater-like places to be seen on the moons surface. This theory assumes that in the early times that planet was a soft mass. and that while she was in this condition she was struck by various hard bodies which were careering through space. and that these catapuits sank deep into the lunar sphere and left the holes that astronomers are familiar with, as boy might pitch stone into . mass of soft mud. Of what these pro- jectiles were composed. or why they were flying at random through the at mosphere we don't know any better than the astronomers do. But such theories give them something to spec ulate about and probably that keeps them out of mischief

He inspected the craters of Mauna Loa and Killanea, and one thing that struck him forcI- bly was the resemblance between those craters and certain shapes he sees in the moon. He doesn't claim that the idea of moon volcanoes originated with him, but proffers the Hawaiian craters as additional proof that there were once volcanoes in the moon.
 Professor Pickering seems also to be an advocate of the theory that the earth and the moon were the same body at some remote period in the past, and that the moon seeded. as 1t were. and set up government of her own. He suggests the bed of the

THREE OF A KIND.

Because The Advertiser has more than once lately spoken m plain terms of the New York Life and the Equita- ble Assurance companies and their misdeeds 1t should not be inferred that there was any intention to leave out or excuse the Mutual Life Insurance Company. the third and equally culpa- ble member of the notorious trio of money getters and spenders. If there are comparative degrees of rascality we should baik at any attempt to des- ignate the best or the worst of these three
 However. we must say that some confessions or declarations made by President McCurdy, of the last named company, rather lays over" anything we have seen from the others. He spoke of his company as an eleemosy- nary" institution, and said:
 The purpose of the Mutual Life In- surance Company Is not money mak- ing or declaring dividends to those as a great beneficent and missionary the benefits of life insurance and its object was not that of declaring divt- dends which could be spent on cigars or playing billiards"
 If MT. McCurdy's definition of the word eleemosynay means that the object of his company is to rob the policy holders for the purpose of en- riching the officials we may admit the definition is correct but we doubt If honest men will agree with him. Pay f ing extravagant salaries to favored in dividuals, lending the funds of the company to other favorites and sub scribing liberally to campaign corrup- ton funds may be his idea of proper official management but we doubt if he will find honest men to agree with him. As competitors in the game of graft the three great companies seem to be running a neck and neck race.
