The Romans as Miners.

Very often it is asserted that We do
not understand the reduction of ores
as thoroughly at did the ancients. In
this connection the Rio Tinto of Spain,
the most ancient mine in the world,
is pointed to. To prove the case, the
Stag from the Roman smelters, made
over 1000 years ago, is exhibited, and
it proves to be as clean as that pro-
duced today. But this does not, how
ever, prove that the smelling practice
of the Romans was as good as today,
but rather that the party who makes
the claim is F-'obably very poorly in
formed, and his knowledge of copper,
at least, limited. That the smelling
practice of the Romans was good, at
least the best in the world at that
time. there is NJ doubt. The fact that
the slags are clean is doubtless due to
the fact that these slags have been ex-
posed to the elements for over twenty
centuries and that they have been
leached of their copper content during
that period as much of the lower
grades of ore from the mine is leached
at the present time, the copper being
precipitated upon scrap iron.
The highest grade of ore mined is,
probably, per cent-it is possible that
the Romans enjoyed higher percent
age; but that the Romans could mine
it today in competition with the mod
ern blast furnace, and by their anti
quated methods, is so preposterous as
not to be even considered by serious
men.
In the first place the ancients cut
narrow seams, and broke the ore of
in slabs. Holes were drilled much as
they are today for the reception OF
dynamite, but in those days quick
lime was placed in them, tamped tight,
moistened and plugged, and when the
crack was made it was assisted by
wedging and the liberal use of the CAD.
By this method millions of tons OF ores
were mined and smelted on the ground.
The cost to the Romans was very
small, since the mines were operated
by yslaves-prisoners of war-who were
herded TO the openings like so many
cattle, who were worked to their ut
most TO supply the demands of an ar
bitrary and extravagant people. This
explains many of the Roman wars
battles fought to loot and rob and pill
lage; but the primary object, doubt
less, was to maintain or increase the
supply of slaves in every avenue OF
occupation, in every field of activity,
and the Rio Tinto mines of Spain were
thus supplied with labOr-slaves car
ried the red metal to Rome and there

only protects the investor, but also
strengthens the legitimacy of mining
and encourages and promotes the
growth of this important industry.
Prospective buyers of mining stock
should make sure of the fact that the
company in which they are about to
invest is the absolute owner of the
property upon which its incorporators
is based. If it is upon.a bond, only,
except in exceptionable cases, such
stock should be eliminated from the
list of proposed investments.-Salt

The Gold Bullion mine, near Old
Glory postoffice, in Santa Cruz county,
Arizona, has been sold by W. S. Wilde
to Judge Clay Peters, of San Francisco.
The deal was completed in Tucson last
week and the purchase price was 25,-
COOS. 1t is understood that Judge
Peters will spend about 1OO,000S in
developing the mine, which shows ex-
cellent gold and silver prospects.
Within the next two months, three
more diamond drills will be operating
in the Jerome district. This will make
six drills operating in the district, as
follows: Two on the Harryhousen,
one on the United Verde Extension,
one on the Allison-Owen, and two on
the United Verde Copper Company's
mine. Two other properties in this
district are now being considered by
eastern capitalists, and if taken over,
it is proposed to explore them with
diamond drills.-Jerome Mining News.
W. H. Bradick, of the Braganza
Mining Company, is visiting in the
city on business matters. He says that
the cyanide tests of the tailings from
the Henrietta mine is being made, and
the plant is in daily operation. 1t will
require several days yet to determine
the result. The work of driving the
new and long tunnel on tie Henrietta
ground is also under headway, and it
is but reasonable to believe that suf-
ficient ore will be developed in this
undertaking soon to start the mill up.
The tunnel will pierce the Henrietta
vein at great depth, and when the
work is advanced to greater distance
there is every probability that the

The famous mine of Mrs. Fermina
Sarras, in Esmeralda county, Nevada,
was sold recently to a Boston syndi-
cate for 9O,OO0S. OF this large amount
40,0O0S in cash was paid over to this
old Mexican Indian woman, and the
remaining 50,000S is TO be paid within
a short time or the property is to re-
vert to her. For years Mrs. Sarras
has made her home in Esmeralda
county, dressing in male attire and
personally working her claims. To
secure funds she took in washing from
the miners and prospectors in that
section. She is going to rest now, she
says, and enjoy the results of her long
years of struggle and privation. There
are forty claims in all, and though
they are not developed, experts state
that they are the most promising in
the bonanza country.
The McQxbe mine, together with
adjoining locations, owned by the
Model Gold Mining company, was sold
yesterday to the Ideal Mining and De-
velOpment company for the sum of
Sl,527.76S. This transfer was made
through the receiver, Cecil G. Fennell.
The purchaser, the Ideal company,
is the owner of the well known Glad
stone mine, adjoining on the south the
McCabc mine. The Gladstone claim
has been for some years, and is at the

present time under operation of 4
lease by Mr.. Fennell. Included in the
deed filed yesterday, the following
mining claim at McCabe are similarly
affected, viz, the MonOpolist, Bache-
lor, Alta, Wolftone, and 491 feet of the
Sink to Rise mines. The property of
the Model company, situated near Pee
pies valley, known as the Model, West
Model and Model placer mines, and
the North Model, are also included in
the sale. This transfer is one of the
heaviest transactions to take place in
that section in many years, and affects
one of the best known pieces of ground
in this county. The purchasers state
that the beginning of opeI ations on an
extensive scale will be inaugurated
Immediately, the object being to con-
tinue development to 6epth and to
place the property in a position Il
practical and continuous operation.
Since passing into the hands of a re-
ceiver, work was suspended, and out
side of the employment of a small
force to keep the mine unwatered, the
plant has been shut down for some
months.-Journal-Miner.
In Cochise county the people have
good reason to be contented and salts
fed with their lot in the race of life.
Five years ago this county had dwin-
died to one of the smallest to be found
in the territory, but today she stands
as the richest county in the territory,
and second only to Maricopa county in
population. In the year 1900 the reg
istered voters in the county were less
than sixteen hundred, and the regis
tration last year showed over five
! thousand. During this period of five
years Just an even one dozen banks
have sprung into existence in the
county, where there was not one, and
in these banks are more than 1000, ,OOOS
on deposit: cities and towns have
sprung up on the desert pains. Min
ing companies have been put under
way that have developed fabulously
rich mines where there were none be-
fore. Bisbee has become the greatest
copper district in the world, and it is
not a prediction to say that within the
next year it will be yielding more
copper bullion than any other district
in the whole world The Copper Queen
has doubled practically its great
smelling plant in Douglas, and the
same be said of the Calumet & Ari-
Zona. Soon the Bonanza Circle prop
critics will be producing as much cop
per ore as the Copper Queen, and be-
sides, there is the Shattuck, DEM
and other properties around Bisbee
which are already planning for build
ing smelters for large bodies of ore
already blocked out. Douglas surely
has a right to be contented and salts
fed with its growth during the past
year. The city is just five years old;
its present population is not less than
nine thousand, and its growth has
been steady and of a more substantial
character during the whole of the
present ear.-International American.

The people of Willmar should
own and operate the local tele-
phone exchange. Why?
Because there should be only
one exchange, and under private
ownership telephone monopoly
is unbearable. We are certain
to have another exchange, involv-
ing the necessity Of having two
phones in each business place,
unless the city steps in and gives
all interests the same chance and
connections are made possible
with the best lines entering the
city.
Because Willmar people should
not be penalized for talking to
their customers or friends in the
country, over lines owned by the
latter, simply to enrich a few
men.
Because the city should derive
a handsome revenue for the use
of it's streets and franchise.
Because private ownership has
bred men who not only use their
money to try to secure control
of the city government, but also
try to dictate what the moral pol
icy of the citizens shall be.

Who would have thought few
short years ago that W. J. Bryan
would be mentioned today as the
hope of the conservative demo
Gratis? Yet that is the common
talk in the east now. Hearst is
now the radical candidate in the
democratic ranks and the con
servatives see in Bryan the only
man who can stem the tide OF
what they call Hearst socialism.
Yet Bryan has not gone back
wards; he is today far more radi
cal than in 1896. He now be-
lieves in government ownership
Of railroads, which he did not dc
in 1896. It is public opinion thai
has progressed so rapidly that
Bryan in passing forward has
not gone fast enough to reach the
vanguard; the main army has

man, and the practical results of his
long and varied experience as an edu-
Gator. He enumerated the ''fads"
that had attracted the attention OF
educators at different times; the fallacy
and failure of many fanciful methods
in education in the past; the secret OF
success in the Japanese schools was
full obedience and reverence for au-
thority; the need of moral training in
our schools, and the benefit of the
study of agriculture were all very
clearly and forcibly stated by Mr..
Hilleboe, and he placed those present
under a debt of obligation for his
presentation OF helpful truths and
suggestions. The address was full of
good things. MIR. Hilleboe is the
conductor of the summer school to be
held this summer at Wheaton, and his

ance.

The Wall Street rascals who

said: II have no deep admira-
tion for man who has made
millions out of the sweat and
blood of the toiling classes and
who attempts to atone for the
oppression by giving away build
ings and thus advertising himself
as philanthropist. The place
where beneficence should have
begun was in his workshop and

This damage suit industry against
city officials whose official acts do not
suit the booze crowd cannot be sue
cessfully played much longer in the
city of Willmar and the perpetrators

handed bluff has about run its course,
and those who resort to such means
to bull-doze every man who does mot
give way and do as the gang desires
will try the game once too often.
From a newspaper standpoint we well
come the suit against the official &C.
ton of the editor as judge of election

back of this dirty piece of business
that we will give them run for their

easier to begin the trouble than to let

time on, we will feel tia duty we owe
to ourselves in self-defense and to the
safety to the public at large to bring
the light OF publicity to bear on deals
of rottenness which have too long
been allowed to, slumber as unpub-
lished truths. We say this deliber-
ately, without any bitterness in our
heart, for we have never to our knowl-
edge. wronged these men who now be-
set u.s.. We take it that it is simply
because our paper has had the signal
honor to stand for the no-license 20

yocated the principle that the public

its own telephone system that we have

Chairman Boesohenstein to Retire

Charles Boeschenstein, who has been
chairman of the democratic state com
mittee during the last two campaigns,
intends to resign in the near future.
He is tired of the political game and
has said his mind is made up to retire
before Jan. 1.
1t is not known now who will succeed
Mr.. Boeschenstein. although it is taken
for granted that the man selected by
National Committeeman Sullivan will
get the place. "A. w. Charles of Carmi
NAV be chosen. Mr.. Boeschenstein was
elected first in 1904 TO succeed John p.
Hopkins. Since then the Illinois de-
mocracy has not prospered particularly
well. but this is not considered the
chairman's fault. The train robber"
in 1904 and the recent Bry-
feud kept the organization
in hot water, and as Boeschenstein is
the head of a publishing business at
he feels that he is max
ing a wise move in surrendering.
There is talk that Mr.. Boeschenstein
may be a candidate on the democratic
state ticket in 1908. Retirement from
the craftsmanship will leave him unem-
to seek a nomination two
years hence.
