MUCH ACTIVITY
AT PILOT KNOB
The Company Is Making Arrange.
ments to Accommodate Two
Hundred Men

The prosecution of develop
| ment work at the Giroux Con.
mines is going on continually,
and a force of ninety men is be-
ing employed on the company 3
property. The work consists in
excavating ground for a smelter
near the mouth of The Gironx
tunnel, in running levels in the
Giroux shaft and in blocking out
ore for the new smelter.
The furnace, machinery and
equipment for the smelling plant
have been forwarded to Eureka.
Lack of proper freighting facil-
tiles has delayed the arrival of
the machinery. The nrst load
| reached the mines last week, and
it is expected that the railroad
company will be more prompt in
the delivery Of the remainder.
| Excavation work has been al
most completed and the stone
masons are engaged in laying
foundations. The machinery
will be placed in position as soon
as it is delivered. The company
expects to have the plant in op-
Grafton by September |. The
Giroux tunnel, which intersects
the shaft at depth of l25 feet,
will be used transporting ore to
the smelter.
The company is contemplating
the erection of fifty new bunk
houses, and when this work has
been finished 200 men can receive
accommodations at the mines.
The work of surveying a
townsite has been in progress
for several weeks past, and the
new town will be called kimber-
! ly, in honor of Peter l.. Kimberly,
who was one of the principal
stockholders of the com pany and
Il pioneer of this district.
The smelter will be placed in
operation as soon as possible.
The construction of the railroad
from Ely to Toano will not inter
fere with the plans of the COM
pany. The delivery of coke and
supplies via Eureka has been ar
ranged for, and the shipment of
the smelling product will be at.
tended to in the same way.
Under present conditions the
company expects to maintain a
production of 800 tons daily.
They will experience no difficulty
in supplying the smelter. which
has capacity of 400 tons per
day. The Taylor and Pilot Knob
properties are now ready to sup
ply their quota of the red metal
for the smelter, and development
work has been continued on
large number of other claims.
| The prospects for the future of
Pilot Knob are indeed glittering.
] All the debts of the company
have been settled and the equip
ment for the smelling plant has
been paid for. Sufficient funds
to complete the plant are now on
| hand. Ample resources have
been provided for proposed de-
yelopment work. The com
pany s stock has been selling for
S.. 80 share and the sale of stock
hes been suspended.

The history of these coionists,
from the time of their landing in
America to the end of the Rev
olution. is history of their
struggles with the crown of
England for what they deemed
their political rights. Even "a
superficial knowledge of the
character of these men should
have warned the English govern
ment against these measures, ir-
ritable and oppressive to the
colonists, which resulted in the
Revolutionary War and the Dec,
laration of Independence. That
war was but the final test-the
trial by fire and blood of the
stuff that our ancestors were
made of.
Then came Independence. and
with it the problem of the future
government of the thirteen
states. During the war they
were held together by only
very loose set of Articles of Con
federation. If there was To be
one government and not thir-
teen, new arrangement must
be made. Accordingly a conven-
tion was called at Philadelphia
to consider the question. The
result of the labors of the labors
OF that convention was the pres
ent Constitution of the United
States. This Constitution gave
more power to the federal gov
ernment than had been antici-
pated, and consequently it met
with violent opposition.
During the period from the
calling of this convention to the
time of the ultimate ratification
of the Constitution by the states
the real battle for our present
institutions was fought. The

alist" more than TO any other
thing was due the final ratifica-
tion of the constitution by the
states.
Generally speaking there were
three great principles of govern
ment embodied in that constitu
tion that were new and untried
at the time.
They were: First. the very
idea of Il government existing
under and controlled and limi-
ted by written constitution

TALKS ON GROWTH
OF THE AMERICAN
GOVERNMENT

The American idea of govern
ment was, at the time Of it's
adoption new thing in the. po-
litical world. So contrary was
it to the accepted theories of
government of the time, that it
was ridiculed by most of the
learned leaders of other govern
ments. Despite that ridicule,
however, it has proved so sue.
cessful in practice that its adop-
ton forms new era in political
history, But, like most things
that are worth while, that idea
was not the growth of day. If
we would take the American idea
of government from it's begin
ming. we must start-not with
the Constitution; not with the
Declaration of Independence.
Those documents were only the
crystalization in words of ideas
that had long been growing
but we must start with the relig-
ious conditions existing in Eu-
rope, even before the discovery
of America.
Europe had just emerged from
the blighting influence of the
dark ages and feudalism. The
revival of learning had com
menced. Men had begun to
study and form opinions of their
own. But the people of those
times, like ourselves, learned
large truths only by degrees.
Consequently, when they did
form an opinion, they could not
understand how anyone else
could form different opinion.
And, if anyone dared to maintain
opinions or standards of life
differing from those generally
accepted, he was subjected to Sc
we're prosecutions. It was a
time of extreme intolerance of
opinions in the face of such per-
secutions and even of executions.
These conditions continued to
exist until after the discovery of
America, and until those few per-
sons whose lives were made
miserable on account of their
opinions came to realize that
here at last was a havenlin which
they might live their lives and
think their thoughts as to them
seemed best. And thus these
men--our forefathers--came to
America.
1t is instructive to note how
largely our country was colonized
by people seeking refuge from
religious persecution. The Pill
grims came to Plymouth; the
Puritans to Massachusetts Bay;
Roger Williams founded his ia.
nous colony in Rhode Island;
the Quakers settled in Pennsyl-
vania; the English Catholics in
Maryland; the Scotch Irish Pres
byterians in North Carolina, and
the French Hugenots in South
Carolina-all religious refugees.
And these people. with the
English in Virginia and Georgia,
and the Dutch in New York,
formed the nucleus from which
these United States have grown.
In these colonists and in the
spirit of intolerance which caus-
ad their emigration to America,
were foreshadowed the ideas up
ON which our government was
finally established The spirit
of independence and devotion to
principle which caused them to
defy the constituted authorities
of Europe to interfere in their re-
ligion WAS the same spirit of in
dependence and devotion to prin-

At $50 the Pilot Knob and Ely
base ball teams contested for hon
ors on the Ely diamond, and after
seven innings OF ball playing the
boys from the Knob were winners
by score of Il 10 10. Dial, the
Ely pitcher. was so fercely bom-
barded that he was replaced by
Brown in the third inning. The
game was close and interesting, and
the result was in doubt until the
last inning had been played. Cot
trell pitched good game for the
Knob, and his men proved to be
demons at the bat. In the third
| chapter the home team made a
landslige aud FIVE tallies was the re-
suit. They were not able to main
tain the slight lead they had obtain
ed, however. Four tallies in the
fourth and the saule number in the
sixth gave the Knob team lead
that the home players could not
overcome. Tom Burns officiated as
umpire and his decisions we're sat
isfactory to both sides The best
of feeling existed betweeIT the play
ers, and quarrels over decisions
were an unknown thing.

in putting down 36a ainch hole.
There were two entries in the
single handed contest. Alex Kol-

honors this year by drilling '6a
inches. Jack Slattery OF Pilot
drilled I44 inches,
Austin Cannon, Leslie Savage
and Ben Dial entered the Ioo-yard
dash. The race was close and in
teresting. Cannon showed that he
was sprinter of ability by beating
Savage in close finish.
F., The grand ball on the evening of
the Fourth was one of the most Ell
joyable events of the day. The hall
was suitably decorated for the oc-
casion by the committee. The
dance hall was crowded during the
earlier hours of the evening and
many people were unable to dance.
J. w. Tansey, H. Cummings, Mrs.
II. J. Mcknight and Miss May
Campbell furnished delightful
music for the lovers of the light
fantastic. The proceeds of the
dance amounted to over $3.50.
The festivities were resumed OH
the morning of the fifth. The
horse race was first on the program.
Arthur Luchesi, Jasper Fox, J. P.

their fastest steeds, and the T,uchesi
