District of Columbia, with IA capital stock of 1,50O,-
900 shares, par valuel$1 90 each. OF this the gener-
GUS SUI of 100000 shares have been placed In the
Treasury after the contamination of all of the pre-
liminary work and the acquisition of the valuable

THE STOCK Is INQUEST
AT TEN CENTS PER SHARE.

Many stockholders of the Company have com
mented on the fact of our locating so few claims
that we should have had forty or fifty by this time.
The fact is, our pr0spectors had Instructions when
they started to locate nothing which in their opin-
ion was not worthy of development. AS a result
we have nothing but choice properties, well located
and which give promise of developing into bonan-
Ia producers and shall spend our money to make
them such. l. at this time, know of thousands of
acres that can be located for the setting of the
stakes but these locations Gin the malapi' are
considered the home of the Wildcats and their
absolute right to the property is unquestioned and
conceded by legitimate operators.

Goldfeld, Nevada.
Gentlemen:
Acceding to your request, / have exam
med the Cardinal claim at Bullfrog, and l
herewith append my opinion The claim is
situated on an easily traced quartzitc dyke
running from the property of the Mont
gomery- Shoshone, through the Cardinal,
and thence in a northeasterly direction.
Shaft now being sunk down the contact of
the quartzite and rhyolite, has reached a
depth of twenty feet. The values seem to
commence with the grass roots" and in
crease with depth. Good paintings have
been secured from the bottom of the shaft.
From the showing of the ledge now ex-
posed, | believe that the values will contin-
ne, and when the projected tunnel is driven
to the contact, this ledge will be cut at a
depth that will assure the permanently of
the property.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) j. FSMTTCHEII, M. E.

DUN's ReCie1C for Saturday, Dec. 81 @,
contained the following editorial re
ference to the year just closed: Dur
ing the first half of 1904 business con-
tinued to pursue the reactionarY
course started in the preceding year,
conservatism dominating all depart
ments, and new enterprises were post
poned pending the return of conf
dence. Failures were above the ave-
rage, both as to number and amount
of defaulted Indebtedness, bank ex-
changes showed losses of about Is per
cent, as compared with the same
months of 1908, and prices of commo-
dities gradually declined to the lowest
point of the year on July list, when
Dun's index Number was S67 1872
From shat point to the close of 1904
Improvement was perceptible, and of
guarantee of permanence. There was
no imitation or abnormal expansion to
threaten stability. A helpful factor
of much potency was the profitable
agricultural season. Farm products
were of greater value than in any
previous year, despite a reduced
wheat yield. for which high prices
fully neutralized the loss in quantity.
Manufacturing plants steadily reduc-
ed the proportion of idle machinery
until at the present time there is lit
tie cause for complaint, except in a
few cases where low water supply re-
tards activity. Labor disputes were
comparatively few, changed condi-
lions necessitatiLg some reductions of
wages, which were accepted with
little friction, and, in many cases, the
old scales have been restored. A vast
amount of gold was sent to other
countries that was in greater need,
strengthening the international posi-
ton of this nation, while commercial
relations were improved, and the flu
ture of foreign trade made brighter
by the purchase of the Panama Canal
The total value of merchandise i'm
ports and exports largely exceeded
those of any previous year, notwith-
standing a heavy loss in shipments of
breadstuffs, temporary factor due
to the smaller. surplus of wheat. Mon
ey was abundant and easy through
out the year, no financial pressure oc-
curing at any time, and the latest re-
ports of mercantile collections indi-
cate that payments are becoming sat
isfactorily prompt. The amount of
business already booked, and the SEN
timent shown by plans for enlarged
output in leading industries, point
almost unmistakablyto national pros
perity in 1905.

TIE OLD SUBSCRIBER.

God bless the old subscriber. We
mean the old stand by who takes the
home paper year after year through
evil as well as through good report,
and pays his subscription regularly
just the same as he would any other
honest debt. As a general thing the
old subscriber is patient and slow of
wrath. He will overlook many little
Sights from the editor-slights which
the man who borrows his reading
would not stand for a minute. If one
of his calves gets it's leg broken and
the fact isn't mentioned in the next
issue, he doesn't seem to feel the
slight the least, or if half a dozen hens
die with cholera morbus and the ed
itor doesn't set out a 81 ad. in order
to make room to herald the news to a
waiting world, he just worries right
along as though he hasn't been mis-
treated at all. He is always Jolly

he drops into the office, saws a word
of praise for the paper upon tax

Mr.. OWENS PLAN ANALYZED.

The result of the last election in
Maryland has set some good Demo
Gratis to thinking. In spite of disfran-
chising legislation and the timeworn
negro domination scare, the Republi-
can party of Maryland cannot be
kept down. The average man likes a
square deal and when he sees the
other fellow attempting to win by
dishonest and unfair methods, he
sometimes goes in to give the schem-
er body-blow. Thus it has been
that while our Democratic friends
have schemed to prevent Republicans
expressing their will at the ballet box
enough honest men have resented
their tricks to still make the Republi-
can party in Maryland a mighty fac
tor in public affairs. Since the last
election some of the regulars are
very much dissatisfied with the state
of affairs brought about by the ex-
ira session legislation of 1901 and of
the session of 1904. In a speech de
liYered before a Democratic club in
Baltimore, Tuesday night, States At
torney Owens, of that city, a regular
of regulars, declared:
THAT the special session of the
Legislature of 1901 and it's work was
of gigantic political blunder for which
the Democratic party managers are
responsible.
THAT the amendment to the Con-
stitution proposed by the last Legis-
lature is not suited to the needs of
our people and should never have
been passed.
Mr.. Owens also comes out and ad-
mits that the negro domination scare,
so zealously worked for political pur-
poses for so many years by his party,
has no real foundation. He says:
THE existing conditions in our
State do not justify, even on the
plea of necessity, wholesale negro
Acknowledgement, as there is no dan
ger of negro domination here. Not
withstanding this, however, there
has been much talk of negro domi-
nation and prejudice has been awak-
ened and excited upon this question,
and more than one election carried
under momentary excitement. If,
however, you will look at The ,Satn
Almanac figures of 1908, you will find
that there were 23,067 registered
white voters in this state and so, 1857
negro voters. Baltimore city had co.
SS5 white voters and ,175 negro yot-
ers-more than five and one-half times
as many white voters as black. Ger
tainly there can be no negro domi-
nation in the city of Baltimore. The
figures of the whole State show
about four and oue-half times as
many white voters as black. How
can there be negro domination in
the State?'

Warmest First Day Experienced in

Sunday was the warmestNew Years
Day ever experienced in this section
of the country, or least so it is said
by some of the 'oldest inhabitants"
The winter of 1SS9-1s90 was mild in
comparison with later years. On New
Years Dav of that year the buds ON
the lilac bushes were all but bursting,
but many warm DAYS prior to that

out the buds.
The maximum temperature
dav was in the neighborhood of~54
degrees, which was reached also on
Monday, but that night drop in the
mercury took place bringing on snow
which covered the ground to depth
of about two inches Tuesday morning.

THE FALL OF PORT ARTHUR.

The new year is ushered in with
tidings of an event which marks the
close of one of the most memorable
and most remarkable sieges in the
worlds history. The tremendous
task which has at last been completed
by the japanese has, during the past
eight months, again and again been
alternately pronounced impossible
and on the eye of accomplishment.
One need not be a military expert in
order to feel justified in declaring
that only the successive developments
of the siege itself revealed to the
world-even to the world of military
experts, other than Russia n-the as
founding formidableness of the de-
lenses of Port Arthur. That the Jap
anese, in the early stages of war, ex-
pected to take the place in compar-
atiyely shortEtime is evident. As to
outside military opinion, when the
indications pointed to the design ON
their part to capture Port Arthur by
assault, it may, we think, be said that
the general belief among experts was
that this would prove impossible
that the japanese would be compell-
ed to reduce the garrison to capitula-
to by the slow pressure of starvation
and misery. That this plan would
have been the right one from the
point of view of sound military pol
icy was also the prevalent opinion,
until it became evident that the de-
struction of the Russian fleet in Port
Arthur harbor before the arrival of
the Baltic Squadron in Asiatic waters
was a prime necessity of the japanese
campaign. The japanese themselves,
however, have, from first to last, pur-
sued, with steadiness like that OF
fate itself, the grim purpose with

ira session of the Legislature aud the
repeal of the Poe amendment and the
substitution therefore of another
which confines the right to vote to
those who can read the Constitution
of the United States and the State of
Maryland when printed in the English
language, and who can write his own
name in the English language. Mr..
Owens then goes on to prove his party
regularity by showing that his scheme
would make the Eastern :Shore and
Southern Maryland solidly Democrat
ic and would cut down the Western
Maryland Republican majority if not
entirely wipe it out. 1t does not mat
ter to Mr.. Owens that large number
of very respectable white men would
be DISTINGUISHED. What appeals to
bin is that more negros than whites
would be disfranchised and that the
net result would be advantageous to
the Democratic party. In other words
the present open fraudulent practices
have brought storm of protest down
upon the heads of the Democratic
party managers. Therefore new and
more respectable ways must be deyis-
ed to accomplish the same result
i. e. keep Republicans from voting.
Why cannot our Democratic friends
approach this subject without calcu-
lating beforehand the net loss of Re-

Salt pork is a famous old

years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumptive needs
most.
SCOTS Emulsionis themod-
ern method Of feeding fat to
the conSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but

than that. There is some
thing about the combination
