The Springfield Republican says:


Secretary Tafts pleadings with Con-
gress for lower tariff duties on Philip
pine products are becoming pathetic.
Congress languidly listens. That's all.
The duties on Philippine sugar and
tobacco will stay where they are. We
might take advantage Of this oppor-
tunity to gloat over Secretary Taft
and to say triumphantly that all his
friutless worry and labor in trying to
arouse Congress to sense of the ma
tons duty to the Filipinos was fore
seen. But let us have none of that
AS matters stand, the case is a serious
one. A bill has already been passed
providing for an ambitious scheme Of
railroad building and internal improve
ments in the archipelago-at the eX-
pense of the natives,-but not a thing
is being done, or will be done this year
to give the Filipinos a market for their
products Of the soil, without which
they must remain in wretched poverty.
Meanwhile two provinces Of Luzon are
in insurrection so far as to impel the
government there to proclaim martial
law. Perhaps Congress needs another
Philippine war to make it realize what
should be done for the islands, regard
less of special interests here at home.

As a general thing in most legislative
bodies throughout the United States
the lawyers are found to occupy more
seats on the different floors than are
the members Of any other trade or pro-
fesson, and an examination of the list
of the members Of HawaiPs House Of
Representatives show that the same
characteristic obtains here.
OF the thirty members of the House
no less than nine are lawyers and the
remaining members of the House are
very much scattered as to their daily
walk in life. There are three ranchers
and three farmers, though the list of
distinction between ranchers and farm
ers is not so distinct as to be readily
recognized. The House is compare

Recent reports to the stockholders

These reports recite, that much pros

mill at full capacity for from two TO
three years Much work that gave good
results was also done by going back
through old slopes and driving tunnels
through caved ground. Still more re-
cent work has resulted in finding large
bodies of ore that carry the unusual
values of $3.50 per ton in gold. The
prospects for still greater bodies were
never better and the physical condition
Of the mine is said TO have not been
SO good for several years.

The Utah Consolidated Mining COM
pany is pre-eminently entitled TO be
called the pioneer IN copper mining and
copper smelling in Utah. In this ca
pacity it also brought about conditions
that contributed largely to the develop
ment Of Greater Bingham, which is
Utah's largest and richest camp. Be
sides being q pioneer, the Utah Con-
solidated holds the front place for the
year 1905 in earning profits having
within that time posted dividends 10
the enormous amount of 81 $50, 900. It's
mine is situated near the head Of Blng-
ham canyon and its 5melter is near
Murray. Locally both the mine and
the smelter are referred to as the
Highland Boy" a name inherited from
the company formerly owning the mine.
The smeiter operates exclusively on
the company's own ores, and together
they form one of the most gigantic
mining enterprises in the west. II was
late in the '90s when the present man
agement acquired cont. u OF this mine,
and it was not until little over six
wears ago that the smelter was blown
in. an act that signaled the beginning
OF copper production in Utah, which
is rapidly becoming thu states largest
source OF revenue.
The ores OF the mine are conveyed

way and thence over that road to the
smelter, seventeen miles away. The

The Consolidated Mercur mine at
Mercur is a stalwart veteran Of pio-
neer camp. 1t occupies a peculiarly
important position in Utah mining. 1t
is one Of q very few exclusive pro-
ducers OF gold in the state and the
leader of its class in points Of values
produced, profits earned and the mag
nitude OF fits operations. The holdings
of the company include a group Of
properties formerly operated by differ
ent arrangements and gigantic mill.
The Consolidated interests have yielded
by far the greater part Of the Sl2,OOO,OOO
of the yellow metal that has come from
that historic district. 1t has also
played an important part in the deVel-
opment of the cyanide process and the
methods that have been here tried out
and made good have been widely
adopted in the chief gold-producing
countries in the world. The cyanide
process, be il remembered is a chem
zeal process by which gold is extracted
from ores that fail to give cOlors in the
prospector's pan. The values however,
respond to the assayS's test, but are
too fine to be saved by any OF the me-
chanical methods employed by mill
men. The Con. Mercur locality was
originally known as Camp Floyd; later
II was called Lewiston, and as Such
came into prominence as q silver-lead
camp. It's present name, Mercur, came
from the mercury found in the form
of cinnabar in that region, and which
is now a successful commercial prod
uct. Since the organization of the Con-
solidated Mercur Gold Mines company
over 81 zoo. 900 has been paid to its
shareholders in dividends, and with the
profits earned by the different proper
ties prior to the consolidation the total
dividends that have been paid ag8re-
gate over three and q quarter million
dollars. Tt continues a regular Garner
and distributor of profits, and the en-
cOuraging feature Of the proposition is
that the present shOwings indicate that
a period Of prosperity will continue IN
definitely to exist.
The company at present has on its
payrolls over 400 men, 10 whom there is
paid In wages nearly $4,000 a month.
Between 600 and 500 tons of ore are
handled daily. from which is extracted
