The coal company are making ar
| rangements this week to put in q
large boiler to furnish more steam for
the extra machinery recently added to
the mines.
Thomas White, of White City, took
charge of the tail rope engine on
Monday. Mr.. White is well known
Iowa miner and his many friends vel.
come him to Bolton.
L. c. Bolton, general manager of
the mines, was in town Saturday. He
informs us he has orders for four or
five hundred ton of coal day If cars
can be obtained to put it in. The coal
wherever sold creates a demand for
more. 1t all burns and no waste.
w. J. Holson, of Hardin county, was
a business caller in town Monday. He
says his county has the banner corn
crop in Iowa. The writer admires
this way of talking for home, as our
motto is and always has been: "He
that tooteth not his own horn, the
same shall not be footed.
The writer notes with much pride
in reading the press of the withdrawal
of the stand-pat ticket in Jasper coun-
ty as the time is near at hand when
men should quit their foolishness ans
be repuDncans with one accord by
saying: "Let others do as they may;
as for me and my house, shall vote
a straight ticket.
Occasionally the herald correspond
ent notes some good-roads advocate
bob up and offer suggestion, but
when the question SINNERS down to
dollars and cents to make them, they
are not in it. The King drag is often
spoken of, but there is a serious ques.
tion in our mind if this thing will
put a bottom under the Iowa mud.
There is no doubt as to what it will
do on top. The writer has never
known hot air or wind to make a good
road, nor never will.
William Connors, of Monroe coun-
ty, spent Sunday in town at the home
of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Connors. Mr.. Connors spent the ear
ly part of his life in the Monroe coun-
ty mines. Several years ago he gave
up mining and went to tilling the soil.
Today he owns 100 acres of well i'm
proved Monroe county land worth one
hundred dollars an acre on the fam
GUS Miller Ridge road that leads from
Abba to OIakesburg. He has it well
stocked and informs us he raised a

w. H. Young, OF Des Moines, was
a business caller in town Saturday.
Mr.. Young is an aged miner who spent
his early days in the mining fields OF
Ohio. He has belonged to every
miners union that has existed in
America since 1869. He was at the
meeting when T. H. Davis of Youngs-
town was chosen president of the.
Miners and Laborers' Benevolent As
sociation, organized in the year 1863.
He has watched the progress, life and
death of every miners union from
that day to the present and says the
U. M, of A. has done more for the
miners than all of them, but says the
miners should not take the advantage
of the opportunity by asking more of
their employers than they are enti-
tied to have or the scale of wages
calls for, which he finds is often done
in the locals he visits in his travels.
Miners should remember what has
been can be again. He well remem-
bers the miners themselves throwing
away in 1872 by ignoring the decision
of the arbitration what they are clam
oring for today. Arbitration should
be coveted by all means by all men,
as men, when in the right, need not
fear the searchlight of investigation,
for they will come out right. If
wrong, they will cry out for the rocks
and mountains to fall upon them to
hide them from the wrath of the peo.
pie.
The Herald correspondent spent
Sunday in Evans with old time
friends. 1t brought pleasant mem
cries to mind to mingle with men and
women who were boys and girls in
our time, going to our Sunday school
there twenty-four years ago. Today
they are the parents of large families
of grown up sons and daughters who
were born and reared in Evans. II
was pleasure to meet them at their
homes and talk of the days gone by.
Their latch string hangs on the ont
side for us and all we have to do is
pull and walk in. At noon we shared |
the hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Hughs at their commodious home and
were royalty entertained by them and
their son and daughter, Ben, Jr., and
Miss Eta. On our return we called
on Taylor Duke, the leading politi- |
clan there, at his home. Mr.. Duke |
takes keen interest in politics, keeps
well posted on the current topics of
the day, is staunch republican and
a worker for his party. He predicts |
the election of the entire republican,
ticket on November 6. He informed |
us he attended republican rally in |
Leighton on Saturday night and re-
ports a large audience and an inter
esting time. He extended an invita-
ton to the writer to attend a repub-
lican rally in Evans on Monday night |
and take part in the meeting. Provi- |
dence permitting, the old man will be
there.

MARVELLOUS DEVELOPMENT I
OF COPPER MINES

The invested capital in Greenwater cop
per properties has now reached the fab
ulous sum of fifteen million dollars The
greater portion of this wealth has been
expended by the worlds famous copper
lJngs: Charles NJ Schwab. Samuel New
house, f.. Augustus Heinze, Senator w.
A. Clark of Montana, oliver Posey, Sena-
tor George S. Nixon of Nevada, George
Wingfield the Goldfield millionaire, and
T. +. Bonneau.
The early discoveries of copper deposits
which were made in Inyo county Cali
fornia, just a few miles from the rim
of Death Valley, across the Nevada line
lay practically dormant from February
l. 1906, until the summer of this year
when Arthur KunZe and one or two
other prospectors, who had suffered the
hardships of life ON the desert, with
water fifty miles away, appealed to
Patsy Clark, the Spokane capitalist and
mine developer, to send an expert into
this country that he might determine it's
tue Value. Mr.. Clark, who has made q
practice of following every excitement
which has been brought to his attention.
was among the first to reach the scene
of these recent discoveries. Word was
Sc on noised about which told of the great
copper deposits of the Greenwater dis
trict and the other mine magnates of the
country lost no time in following the
lead which Patsy Clark had already
token.
During the latter part of July the cop
per kings of the country passed quietly
through Tonopah and Goldfeld, where
they chartered private automobiles to
carry them to Greenwater. Within one
months time copper syndcates with an
enormous capitalization ranging from one
to five million dollars were formed. These
companies now practically control the
copper deposits in the minerallzed zone
of the entire Greenwater district. Among
the foremost in which large capital is
now being invested are the Greenwater
and Death Valley Copper company, the
United Copper Mines company, the Green
water Furnace Creek Copper company,
the Greenwater Pay Copper company, at
whose head is T. f. Vonneau, which
property adjoins the Great Saratoga
Mines of this district. and end lines the
Schwab syndicate and properties con-
trolled by John w. Gates.
With the increased demand for copper,
and the consolidation of the principal
properties of this district. together with
the wonderful surface showings, it seems
certain that 1t will not be many months
before Greenwater will play an impor-
tant part in the production of this much
sought-after metal.

Administration.
PEASANTS ARE RESTRICTED

St Petersburg, October 20.-The govern
ment has thrown a bomb into the rad
ical camp in the form of an interpre-
tation by the senate of doubtful points
in the election laws, declaring that only
actual resident house owners are eligi-
BILE to be peasant electors at the coming
elections. Persons of peasant origin who
are no longer residents of the villages
are Ineligible to vote This will exclude
the educated leaders of the peasant group
like Alladin, Annikin and Zhilkin, who un-
der the old system, abolished by yester-
days ukase, were considered to be peas
ants. no matter how long they had been
absent from the paternal village.
Such educated peasants are usually ex
tremely radical and often are profess
sional agitators possessed of great au-
thority among their former fellows. The
senate's ruling will restrict the peasant
suffrage DISTINGUISHING sons who are not
heads of households, even If they have
passed the qualifying age-twenty-fiye.
Plural Voting Prohibited.
The Interpretations of the senate pro-
hibits number of cases of plural voting,
especially in the case Of workmen, who
at the last election could vote among
the peasantry and also as city electors,
bS virtue of their municipal residence.
1T was apparently decided to promulgate
these important restrictions in the form
of Interpretation of the senate, instead
of as the actual change In the election
laws, so as to avoid criticism and give
the matter the appearance of being of
no Importance.
AS a further limitation of the activity
of leaders of the Alladin type, who travel
from village to village educating the
peasantry Premier Stolypin has ordered
the local authorities to prohibit non-resi-
dents from speaking at or participating
in ante election meetings in the cities
or villages and he also has declared
that persons Enthusiastically deported
are ineligible as candidates for election
TO parliament. A similar measure in the
former elections would have barred Vice
President Grodeskull, and several other

GOLD Mine LOOTED
ORE HAULED AWAY
DARING ROBBERS ENTER MINE IN
GoLDFIELD REGION AND GET
AWAY WITH $4,000 WORTH OF
ORE.

Goldfeld, New, October 2o.-The Hayes
Monet lease on the Mohawk mining
property was robbed of $4,000 worth of
ore today by a band of robbers whose
operations were of the most daring char
acter. Just before daybreak four men
drove up to the Hayes-Monett shaft house
and jumped from the wagon, Entering
the shaft house they ordered the two en-
gineers to throw up their hands. They
were heavily armed and under their
drawn weapons ordered the engineers to
carry twenty-eigbt' sacks of high grade
ore from the shaft house to the wagon.
After making the engineers load the
wagons the robbers drove off. An alarm
was given, but the ROBBERS have not been
apprehended
The Hayes Monet men had been pre-
pairing for a million-dollar shipment of
ore some of the ore being hoisted runs
as high as $50 per pound.
