Prominent Mining Men Say
Camp Is Receiving Much
Favorable Mention.

VoVOA dDAC NlCIl0iOn.
S. P. Ross, of San Francisco, repre-
senting Steiner & Co., of Portland, ar
rived in camp Sunday to inspect and
sample number of properties he recon-
mended to his company as result of
his visit here early in the summer.
During the absence of Mr.. Ross from
the camp, Mr.. Steiner and Dr. Wise.
also member of the company, visited
here and found conditions so favorable
and number of properties so good that
they decided to recall Mr.. Ross to make
further investigation. Messrs. Steiner
and Wise left Saturday. Mr. Ross ar
rived next day. He has employed
George Peck and Joe Coverly to assist
him in his work. They started out
Monday and have been busy on different
properties all week. Mr.. Ross will in
spect six or seven properties, and will
be in the camp about month.
Two more converts have been added
to Elk City!s long list of boosters thro-
ugh the visit of Mr.. Steiner and DIR,
Wise to the camp last week. The mag

number of good prospects on which de-

number of mills in operation was all a
revelation to both gentlemen which
proved an agreeable surprise after hear

UNCLE SAM AS MINER
Government Ownership Idea 0ppos-
ed By Mining World.
WOULD BE MUCH GRAFT
Chicago Publication Says Wait For New
Department ofMines onLiberalLines.


last week taken from the Haley
Times, which referred to the bill
introduced in congress last ses-
sion which aims to withdraw all
mineral lands from entry, caused
considerable discussion among
prospectors and miners, The
Mining News here gives an art
icle on the subject, taken from
the Mining World:
"If the forecasts of our hard
worked prophetic reforners are
not sidetracked by contrary
7events, then the millennium is
near. Three weeks ago The Min
ing World commented editorilly
on President Roosevelt's sugges-
ton that the government retain
title to oil and coal lands belong
ing to the public domain, or situ-
ated in territory owned by Indian
tribes. This land to be leased
only on terms that will secure the
government in full control, ap-
parently to check the abuses due
to monopolistic control and pro-
tect the general public. The
presidents special message to
congress was interpreted by the
sensational press to mean that
the government anticipates the
control and operation of mineral
properties. Of course, The Min
ing World ridiculed the idea, and
expressed wonder that the legis-
lators at Washington should show
so little faith in the efficacy OF
the antitrust law which was
originally framed to do directly
what the president suggests
might be done indirectly; that is
to curb the powers of the combi
nations.
Hardly had the ink dried OF

pector' asked for an audience Il

seems of more vital Importance is
the suggestion made by An Ex-
Prospector' that the government
develop the mine for the pros
pector, and whenever private |
enterprise, be it the discoverer or
the man who grubstakes him, can
convince the people (through the
experts of a department of mines)
that they want the developed
mine at a fair price, let the gov
ernment use the profit to help
another prospector.' Does the
government assist the inventor
to improve his patent, and guar
antee him an equitable royalty
for having rendered valuable
service to mankind? No! Why,
then, should Uncle Sam increase
taxation to create special mine
development fund.- And even if
the project were considered feas-
ible by popular vote, would there
really be a profit after deducting
from the agreed selling price 'ex-
penses' and allocating a reason
able sum for dead work. on a
property that may not develop
into a paying mine? Imagine the
ire of the individual, or company,
that bought a piece of developed
mineral land from the govern
ment at a fair price, and after
working it in the modern way for
early dividends, found that the
ore reserves were not as large as
had been estimated by the ex-
perts of the proposed department
of mines. Of course, this new
department might employ corps
of able lawyers, from Butte, for
instance,---who could defend its
rights. And then to think of the
commissions that would be re-
ceived from manufacturers of
mining machinery and supplies by
politicians and others who may
have some connection with the
scheme to develop the mine fo1
the discoverer. The opportunity
for graft here would certainly
be unique. The scheme woulc
no doubt also facilitate the sale Of
mining shares, by reason of the
faith of many people in the re-
concentrations of the govern
ment.
Perhaps it would interest Al
Ex-Prospector' and his colleague!
