THE WHITE KNOB.

Mining affairs have taken a
sudden and unexpected turn at
Mackay with the White Knob
Copper company, which appears
to be final. Recently two men
of prominence connected with
that company came out from the
East and ordered general close
down of the property, and furth-
er gave directions to take all the
machinery from the mines, tracks,
ETC., and have been selling other
property, ranch, residences, etc.
in and about Mackay for about
one-tenth their actual cost, to
any person who would buy. It
is said after short run of the
smelter next month on some ore
already taken out, the machinery
will be taken out and shipped
away. This is 6O0-ton plant.
And the property that is left viii
be sold at sheriff's sale on July
7th. The White Knob Copper
company have expended in the
Ineighborhood of two or three
million dollars at Mackay. Now
they have come to the conclus-
ion, after recent reports from
mining experts, to abandon the
property and stop further devel-
opment work. The crash come
unexpected, although it was al
most sure to come sooner or
later, if no ore bodies of any val
ne could be found, for no COM
pany will continually expend
expend money upon a PROPOSE
ton that does not pay expenses.
This settles mining affairs at
Mackay as far as the White
Knob company are concerened,
besides it will give the mining
industry of this whole section a
black-eye Lost river is a good
farming region, and now looks
as though the future prosperity
of its people will have to rely
upon its fertile lands.

an uNPARALLELEp VICTORY.

When Japan boldly threw down
the gauntlet TO Russia, the world
wondered at her daring; Russia
was the Colossus of the North"
Japan, the youngest of the nat
ions to be born into our modern
civilization, had not yet reached
the dignity even of comparison
with the mighty Muscovite en-
pire. BY sea and by land Rus
sia overtopped Japan on every
point of comparison. Hers was
the third most powerful navy of
the world, with half a million
tons of fighting ships to COM
mand, and the unlimited resour-
ces of the empire to back it.
Japan's little navy, on the other
hand, had but just graduated into
recognition. Although the fore
taste which she had given of her
quality in the Chinese war led
us to expect that Japan would
make creditable effort, the best

uOWh W uS1edO, everything 1OSb
but the honor of having fought
a brave but hopeless campaign.
So the world thought and
spoke, as the curtain was being
rung up for the opening scene of
the naval war. Today, after 1e
months of the fiercest and most
bloody fighting of modern times,
the curtain has been run down
upon the final act. In that brief
interval, we have seen the third
greatest navy of the world liter
ally and absolutely swept out OF
existence, and this by modest
little navy that finds itself at the
close of the wa as strong in
material and stronger in efficien-
cy than at its beginning.
If Japan had won out with the
loss of half her fleets, and the
battered remnants had limped
home in a condition of absolute
exhaustion, it would have been
a feat equaled but not surpassed
in naval history.
: But that she should have alb
solutely annihilated, in pitched
battles upon the high seas, two
successive fleets of the enemy,
and have sunk, driven ashore, or
otherwise put out of action four
teen battleships, twelve other
arm0red vessels, and dozen
protected cruisers, without any
diminution of her own fighting
strength, it is a feat for which
naval history can find no paral-
lei. That her navy is intact can
not be disputed; for her captures
and new construction during the
war about Offset her losses.
Wherein are we to look for an
explanation ? Certainly not to
any disparity in the materials of
war, for the ships, engines, guns
and armor plate of the Russian
navy were the best the leading
shipyards and gun factories of
Europe and America could turn
out. Nor was the distance of the
seat of war from Russia's home
ports so serious a handicap as
might be supposed; for at no one
time did Japan make any serious
effort to prevent the sending of
reinforcement and supplies. In
the case of the Baltic fleet, she
evidently encouraged its advance
feeling assured that every ship
that entered the immediate zone
was one ship lost to Russia.
Nor can the result be set down
to cowardice. The Russian is no
coward. He gives place to none
in his ability to fight losing
battle to the bitter end. This
was abundantly proved in the
battle of the Sea of Japan; for
the stories of the eye witnesses
on both sides agree that the Rus
slams fought with the grim ener.
gy of despair.
The explanation of the result
is TO be found first and last in
the Japanese people themselves
in certain excellent traits o1
their character, many of which
are due to system of ethics that
is older than our western civil,
zation. Among these may be
mentioned /: Intense patriotism
self denial; scrupulous honor III
all matters affecting the welfare
of the State;a keen sense of duty
strict discipline; unquestioning
obedience to authority; absolute
unity of purpose; a firm belief in
the destiny of their race;patience
and endurance; an absence OF
self consciousness and posing,
that may we'll put our white
civilization to the blush; a close
attention to detail; and lastly, 8
combination of great prudence
and forethought with a marked
ability to adapt themselves
quickly to the circumstances oi
the hour.
1t was foregone conclusion

tically only the patron, OF patrons, who
received secret advance notice have bene-
fitted by it and they are thus enabled to
sell their goods at distant point at a
rate materially lower thon their less for
tunate and usually smaller competitor.
The private car system is the latest and
most efficient scheme for evading the
anti-rebate law. Railroad companies are
compelled to pay the owners of private
cars for the use of those cars. Private
cars are, Of course, owned almost exclu-
sively by large concerns like the beef
trust, ct al. These concerns pay the rail-
roads the full published freight rates, but
they compel the railroads to pay them
for the use of their cars various rates
which amOunt,of course, to rebates, as the
net result affords to the large shipper a
lower cost of transportation than their
smaller competitors.
The railroads win gladly accept any
regulation which will ehectually prevent
all the forms of discrimination which
eurtail their profits, but they will oppose
to the bitter end any legislation which
will more completely establish the right
of the government to regulate and super
wise their business. 1t is the desire Of
he President that Congress shall frame a
aW which will remedy all these evils and
for all time, the rights of the
eople, as exercised by their representa-
i've, the government, over the ironed
ublic highways.
