,Mackay Mines.

Jas. McKelvy and Chas Anderson are
taking out some rich ore in stope num-
ber three of the White Knob Mine, and
smelling has been in progress for some
time except during Interruptions due to
to the non arrival of concentrates from
Butte which they use for fluxing. The
electric road is still in operation, and
ore is brought down in trains of ten cars
each.
Owen McGinty has just returned from
a trip to Salt Lake and Denver where
he went to complete deal affecting
some of his claims. He made satisfac-
tory arrangements for operating the
property and has returned to the "Hill'
to push his work. We are not at liberty
to give out anything further about Nc.
Ginty's plans yet, but expect to be be-
fore the end of August.
Porter Stevenson is in the east some
where, and may make arrangements to
open up the much desired tunnel on the
Alder Creek side of the White Knob
Peak to tap the big ledge of copper
which crops out for long distance on
the mountain side. The ores at the sur
face contain some gold and silver values
in addition to the copper, and with tim
ber and water and easy access to the
electric road of the White Knob Copper
company, it is an easy place to open and
operate mine. These claims owned by
the Columbia Standard Mining compa-
ny and those owned by Sweeney, and
McGinty and score of others lying
along the backbone of the range be-
tween the lime and the granate, are 60
ing to be opened up as rapidly as the
boys can get the powder and fuse to-
gether to do it.
Reed and Davidson are getting out
lot of ore for shipment from their mine
in the Copper Basin, and will send it to
Ketchum for treatment.

(Bu RUSS RUSCOM.)

In the shadows of "Old Trinity and
even in the upper stories of the sky
scrapers which now cast their shadows
on this famous old church, as it stands
guard at the head of Wall Street, is
heard the voice from the hills proclaim
| ing rich strike of ore in Idaho-and a
warning voice comes back to the hills.
The voice of friend who has sung the
glories of Custer County and who be-
lieves in her great future and hidden
wealth.
Many western State is now holding
out her hands for eastern help and capl-
| tai, only to get the quick and sharp re-
buff-"You have abused our trust and
we no longer have faith in your promis-
es."
Idaho is not in such bad odor now
and with caution she may forever retain
the confidence of the East. The public
has, of late, had plenty of opportunity
to learn of the methods of High Fl
nance" as practiced in Wall Street, but
how much greater would be the expose
if it covered the western mining States
and showed, in almost inconceivable
figures, the losses of trusting eastern in
vestors in, so-called "mines'' where
there was nothing but "mother-lode"
of unmitigated falsehood and despicable
lies. State officials, and supposedly
reputable citizens have been willing
parties to these Misrepresentation,
sometimes misguided and led by local
loyalty and often by spirit of graft or
greed.
If the public spirited citizen of Idaho
the man who proposes to remain there
and maintain his home in that glorious
State-will consider how large pro-
portion of the wealth of the world is es-
tablished on credit--which means faith
and trust and co-operation-he will not
allow the investing public to be misled
by deceiving or misguided, enthusiasts,
who rush to every mining camp where
rich ore is found, only to work their
bunco-game on the ignorant investor at
distance and to the discredit of the
State. They are among you already
and will crowd in upon you more and
more. Then when they have worked
their game they will take their ill-got-
ten gains and carry it again to some
other State to spend, while Idaho will
stretch out her hands eastward, for cap
ital for needed development, only tofind
her credit gone and her word doubted.

Sugar Men Visit ArcO.

Last Monday the Technical staff act
ing for the Havemyer sugar factories of

ing and went to Sugar City. In discuss
ing the beet crop, they said that the

were those around Sugar City, and incl
dentally mentioned that it will require
ten thousand tons of lime rock to treat
this seasons crop at that factory.

vived the annual dividend policy, which was
dropped five or six years ago. This is the sort
of policy which the Frck report recommended
should succeed the deferred dividend" policy in
the Equitable.
A high official IN the New-York Life company
denied yesterday that the Frick report had any
thing to do with reviving the annual dividend
polcy which permits the holder to share in the
earnings of the company each year. He said that
this form of policy had been dropped five six
years ago. because there demand for it
Notices Of the new form Of policy have been
sent TO agents all over the country. This policy
is not intended to replace the deferred dividend
policy, but will be issued to those who. through
reading Of the troubles of the Equitable or for
other reasons are dissatisfied with that form Of
insurance.
For several days there have been rumors that
q general cut in commissions to agents would
be effectedoby several of the larger companies, In
an effort to lessen the cost of insurance to the
policyholder. 1t was denied yesterday that the
New-York Life had any such intention.
I'VE have contracts with our agents." said an
official Of the company, "and contracts are con-
tracts We could not effect a cut Immediately If
we wanted to do So"
cry on every hand. The New-York Life has is
sued a booklet of the various bulletins which
have been sent to Its agents since @ the e aquita
any policyholder who desires information.
The first three of these bulletins deal with DIFF
ferent phases of mutuality the company un-
derstands it. A Tribune reporter was told yes
terday that there was no idea of making the
| company more mutual. The of1cer VINO DIS
ougsed it said that it could not be done, for the
| simple reason that the company had already
| reached the limit of mutualty.
One book tells why President John A McCal
receives salary Of 100000 year. OF the
| three vice. presidents, George w. Perkins. who
| has been with the company twenty-seven years
receives $50 900 a year; Thomas A Buckner

MAY NEED LEGISLATiON'
Govermor Says Hendricks W'A
Probe Equitable to Bottom.
tgY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUNE.l

Albany June $50 far as Governor higgins
is concerned, the Equitable situation is entirely
in the hands of Superintendent hendricks
Pending his report, detailing the results OF MS
Investigation, Governor Higgins Will take no
STEP He is leaving Albany tonight for the
West Before he returns the Hendricks report
will probably be ready. After talking with
Superintendent Hendricks yesterday Governor
Higgins to-day reaffirned his belief that a
legislative investigation would be unnecessary
although he intimated that legislation might De
needed He named June Is as the probable GATE
for the presentation of the Hendricks report
What may do depends entirely upon what
the Hendricks report may contain, said the
Governor 81 do not think legislative investi-
CATION will be needed. Legislative actloa, now
ever may be desirable. do not believe a legls-
Iative investigation will be necessary, In view
of the thoroughness with which the matter Will
be taken care of by the insurance department
The conditions of the company will be proped
to the bottom and so far as Is in my power any
abuses that exist will be corrected L mean
that the department will probe the matter thor
oughly. I have not given the proposition OF a
general investigation of the life insurance Dusl-
ness any consideration, but do believe that in
surance written in the State of New York ought
to be put beyond any question as to the liability
and honesty Of the corporations writing It.
