EDITOR MINING News:
In view of some recent de-
velopment in forest regulations
it seems to me that if the people
of these mining districts wish to
retain any rights as American
citizens it is about time they take
some action with that end in
view. The latest move now is to
lease the people their own farms
and compel them to pay rent
farms that have been improved
and cultivated for years. But
that is not all they even propose
to lease a prospector his own
mining claim.
1t wont do. We need all the
resources at our command to de-
velop this county, and need them
untrameled. I therefore suggest
that you call a mass meeting of
the citizens of these three mining
districts for the purpose of petit
tioning our good president to
eliminate us from the reserve
and restore us to common citizen

Mr.. Boyd states that the mill
was in successful operation at
the time of his departure. The
plant has a tank capacity of 80
tons daily. The ore is classified
and the Sims run off, as they
are comparatively valueless. The
ore is crushed by two 2-stamp
batteries, quadruple discharge
mortars, crushing to 4-mesh

The ore is now being minet
and milled for 90 cents a ton
and when they can use water fo

SlSC6nCly dC every OppOICulllCy
that despite strong opposition on
the part Of representatives of
manufactures of adulterated
foods and drugs the bill will soon
come to a vote in the senate.
The question has been very
thoroughly discussed in nearly |
all the leading newspapers and
magazines of the country. The
following is a short article from
the Philadelphia Inquirer, one of
the largest newspapers in the
United States, which shows the
Importance and the necessity of
passing the Hepburn bill, as it is
called:
The concensus of opinion in
Washington just now, notwith-
standing a formidable appearing
lobby against it, is that the Hey
burn Pure Food bill will become
a law. The long agitation of the
pure food cause has evidently so
we'll educated public opinion that
it's representatives are at last
giving heed to the cry for relief
from the frauds and perils of
food and beverage adulteration.
The passage of the bill will ma
terially affect the big beef and
food monopolies who use preser-
vatives in their products, but will
not affect legitimate trade. The
Hepburn bill has the hearty in
dorsement of the president and
is well understood to be an ad-
ministration measure. That it
self is an element of strength.
1 DR.. Wiley, chemist of the agri-
culture department, will have
authority to analyze all articles
of the trade affected by the bill,
but the attorney general will en-
: force the provisions of the law. y
| 1t is almost a foregone con-
clusion that the senate committee
on interstate commerce will very
5 much impair the rate bill by re.
