Monday afternoon. OF the 1,9S4,8So

The equipment consists of four hois
ters; two 100 horsepower electric motors;
four transformers; two IoxIS side crank
belt driven Leyner air compressor; one
I6xI6 Norwalk air compressor; one 80.
horsepower. and two 6o-horsepow r
boilers.
During the past year I,o2S.o feet Of
development work was done at the
level of the Newhouse tunnel, of which
footage 1887 6 feet represents headway
on the lateral east from the tunnel; the
balances, raises. blind drifts, sidings and
cross cuts.
No effor, towards ore production has
been made in the past twelve months and
the only shipments on company account
were those taken out in doing develop
ment work. This, together with the ore
taken ou. by ,ributers, or leasers amount
ed to s.45e tons of the net average value
value of fo.2I per ton, from which the
sum of $50 ass oS net, was realized.
The lateral from the Ne~hous tun-
mel has not reached the big ore shoot,
vltch from the Il venth to the fifth
levels from the surface produced nearly
a million dollars in ore. This shoot was
over 500 feet in length and when it is
reached by the lateral will have depth
of nearly 1000 feet on the pitch OF the
ore body, making an immense ore re
.e. Assays running as high as 500
per ton have been obt aimed at the tun'
mel level in the lateral, but the main ore
shoot has not been encountered.
There have been no permanent in-
provemeuts needed during the year, no
accidents. litigation. nor labor troubles.
Manager Bonney recommended the use
of the diamond drills for the frequent
testing of the territory lying parallel to
the lateral, in preference to the expens-
i've driving of cross cuts to locate ore
bodies on the foot wall. Vice President
Wimpfheimer, who has large mining in
terests in Leadville, Secretary-treasure
Westheimer, who is mining in California.
and Director Friese, who has extensive
interests At Eureka. Nevada, all are using
diamond drills with great success at
tteir properties, and favor the idea.

OF the circulation is now greater than
even the Pcpulists demanded a decade
ago. This has doubtless had some in
f1uence in maintaining good prices for
the benedcent crops the country has
produced; and now some of those cap
italists who most desired the gold
standard are fearful lest the produc-
tion of gold will be so great that it will
depreeiate the value Of their property
The end sought by Mr.. Bryan was
gained but it was done in exactly the
opposite manner from what his theory
advocated.
IN 1900 Mr.. Bryan reiterated his
advocacy of free silver. but in addition
to that there arose the issue of imper-
iadsm. Mr.. Bryan argued that this
nation had no business in the Philip
pines and other islands of the sea; that
it should not become a nation Of
conquest. It was freely predicted that
in case this "imperialistic'' policy
should be adopted the government Of
the United States would lose its demo-
cratic character, the people would no
longer rule, the spirit of liberty would
be stined. and the celebration of the
Fourth of July would become obsolete.
But Notwithstanding these dire pre-
dictions, the nation endorsed tinper-
ialism' by re-electing Mckinley, there
by discrediting Mr.. Bryan. Yet the
people come nearer ruling the country
today than they did few years ago
and it is feared that the Fourth Of July
will be celebrated with entirely too
much spirit two weeks hence.
The argument the State Journal
sought to make was that notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Bryan's defeats and the fact
that the people had discredited and
rejected his theories, he is today re-
garded as one of the very greatest lead
ers of the country. a man of great
popularity. and. next to Mr.. Roosevelt,
probably more considered as presi-
dental possibility at present than any
other This popularity and high pub
lie regard for Mr.. Bryan arises solely
from a public belief in his personal
integrity and from his ability and
magnetism, notwithstanding the mis-
takes he may have made in the past

MIR. BRYAN.s THEoRIEs.

A correspondent writes: VIII you
please inform me what particular one
of Mr.. Bryan's pet theories has proved
to be groundless, as you state in Fri
days Journal %
The statement made by the state
Journal which the correspo spondent refers
to was this:
Twice a defeated candidate. with
some of his pet theories badly dis
credited, one would suppose that Mr..
Bryan would be a weak standard bear
er for the Democrats; yet the fact re-
mains that he is remarkably strong"
1t viii be noticed that the corre-
spondent has not exactly the right idea
of what the state Journal said. OF
course there may be a wide difference
of opinion as to whether Mr.. Bryan's
theories were groundless, but It can not
be denied that they were discredited.
IN 1895 the overwhelming issue in
the campaign and Mr.. Bryan's pet
hobby was the free and unlimited coin

States discredited the theory BY reject

In fact, America is more than likely to

The announcement comes from Lon

York Times. that bad-food scandal
has broken out there which is quite
likely to distract British attention from
the American situation-and England
has no Upton Sinclair either.
It is charged by a London sanitary
inspector that some of the canned meat
products of certain British establish
ments are unspeakably unfit for con-
sumption. Some of his revelations
match the worst that has been told
about the conditions in Chicago's Pack
fngtown. One firm, he charges, put out

sages.
But these horrors are not confined to
the meat industries. The British pub
lie is extremely fond of jam. Many
enormous fortunes have been built
upon the sweet tooth of the Albion
Here is the complaining inspectors
statement about what he found in one
of these establish ments:
Recently I found in a jam factory
collection of dried raisins filed with
ants and other insects. rotten apple
pulp. orange peel, some filthy maca-
roni, a lot of blown tins of apricots, and
other refuse bought from grocers'
shops as unfit for food. It amounted
to nine hundred weight in all. and was
being treated and made into jam"

There is a hint in this for American
packers and food manufacturers. and
that is to invite the most rigid public
inspection of their products. The
manufacturer that can convince the
public that his food is the cleanest and
most wholesome in the future is the
one who is going to do the big busi-

A SANE OFFICE HOLDER.

How refreshing it is to find man
who has held a public office and yet
who is not spoiled by it-spoiled in the
sense that he wants to keep on holding
public jobsl
There appears to be something about
a public office that leads most men to
believe-or have a vague impression, at
1east-that they are entitled to a life
lease on the job after they have occu-
pied it for a few years. 1t is quite
natural for them to believe that no one
else can do the work as well as they;
and this may be true if they have an
aptitude for the work, for experience
counts in the public service the same as
elsewhere.
Yet it is refreshing to find an office
holder who has not imbibed these ideas.
Recently W. c. Palmer. who happens to
be editor of the Jewell Republican, re-
signed as postmaster at Jewell City. Mr.
Palmer was serving his second term and
he would doubtless have been reappoint-
ed as long as he desired under the new
rules of the postoffice department The
office now pays a salary of 81, 500 year,
and it is so unusual for a officeholder
to voluntarily give up good thing like
Lidl Wn6H ne might just d6 well ndnE
on. that there was a demand to know
why he did it.
when a man does this he ought to
publish a list of the reasons why said
the Greenleaf Sentinel The average
man cannot understand it,"
And Mr.. Palmer promptly complied
with the request. Here is what he pub
fishes:
There are three reasons. A postoffice
and newspaper each require some
body's undivided attention. Men quail
fed to run either one satisfactorily are
hard to hold these days Another
reason is that when a man has held a
good office eight years he ought to teach
himself to be satisfied, and get out and
give somebody else a chance. The third
reason is that a woman whose tudg-
ment is pretty good. was dead set
against our having the office any long
er. She claims that it is better to live
on less and have a little more time to
enjoy what we do have"
There is an instance of unusual sanity
and good sense.
