large number Of people, and was OPP
Grated under the most adverse Of

HISTORY OF
THE COMPANY

The Crown King Mines company
first entered the Bradshaw mountains
in January, 1908, when II is said, no.
gotiations were concluded with the
stockholders Of tho Crowned King
Mining company for the transfer Of the
latter's interest to the new company.
At that time both tho mine and mill
were closed down, and had been for
several months previously. The repre-
scntatives Of the Crown King Mines
company stated upon the conclusion OF
the deal that IL was their purpose to
re habilitatc the property, and accord
ingly this gigantic task was undertake

Erection OF Plant.
The first important step taken IN
that line was the erection of n plant 10
treat the immense dump OF tailings, es'
timated to containing 10000 tons, with
values, ranging, il is said, from "a
to - per ton. A magnificent plant
combining magnetic separation and
concentration was erected, but owing ia
the delays incident to old methods of
transportation, together with the ex'
perimental character Of the intricate
machinery employed, the process Of re
duction was long in being completed
and for time proved unsatisfactory
But this latter feature has been over
come, and a test run Of the plant Civ
en- some few months ago has relieved
the anxiety Of the management, ano
the mechanical appliances introduced
are now said TO be perfectly satisfac
tory. and adapted to the product to b.

The Crown King Mines company

King mine. The old shaft was I'm

at all points below. Later, however, op
crations at this point were suspended

bore on this work the greatest depth

These elevations are from surveys,
made some time ago.

westerly from the deep tunnel, and

There can be no denying the
fact that the South needs immi-
grants to develop many of her
great resources. The field for sue
cess in this section of the country
is broad, and if the kind of men
who have made the great west

south would welcome them. Of
course no one for a moment in this
section of the country would think
of urging the importation of just
any kind Of immigrants into this
part of the Union. The south is
the true American section and is
destined to remain so. The in
tux Of hordes of foreigners with

THE CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN

New men will preside over the
congressional campaign committee
this year. These committees, as
those informed concerning political
matters are aware, are selected by
the republican and the democratic
members of the house of represen-
tatiyes to exercise general super
vision over the congressional cleo
tions for the party. For the last
six years Mr.. J. W. Babcock OF
Missouri has been the chairman OF
the republican committee. He is
succeeded this year by J. S. Sher-
man of New York, who has served
in the house for a long time. The
democrats have selected to preside
over their committee our own con-
gresham and fellow townsman,
Mr.. j. NJ. Griggs. He served in
that capacity IN the campaign Of
1902, so that although he is new
chairman thissyear he is not wholly
new to the wOrk.-Dawson News.

HOME INDUSTRIES

There are two considerations, as
the Albany Herald says, which
should appeal to every business
man, in politics or out of politics,
to every laborer or gentleman of
leisure in influencing him to pat
ronize home industries.
The first is based upon the sound
theory that the interests of his
neighbors should be considered
ahead of the interests of those at
a distance.
Our neighbors are our friends
if not our personal or social friends,
certainly our business friends
and the man who will not show
them preference in bestowing his
patronage is afflicted with a de-
plorable prejudice in favor of pen
MES and against public spirit.
The other consideration relates
solely to self-interest. As a purely
selfish proposition, it pays US to
patronize those about US.
Helping them contributes also to
their prosperity, and their pros
perity advances ours. If this mer-
chant is succeeding, he is enabled
to meet his obligations promptly
and to enlarge his business. That
puts more money into circulation,
gives more people in the commun
ity employment, and stimulates
trade.
The result is that all business
enterprises feel the beneficial eff
fects of the improved conditions
A hundred dollars sent away from
home stays away. A hundred
dollars spent at home stays a
home, and changes hands a hun
dred times in perhaps as many
days.
So whatever the motive, patron
izing home industries is something
to be desired and encouraged b.
every possible means.

time and evidently intend to take
advantage of anything that may

Harvie Jordan states that it will
take over 100000 bales of cotton
to replace the manufactured cotton
goods that were totally destroyed
by fire during the San Francisco
earthquake. This will materially
reduce the present supply of cot
ton. A safe estimate of the loss
of cotton goods destroyed is at
least fifty million dollars. San
Francisco is the great shipping
point to China and Japan. 1t is
also the great distributing point OF
the Rocky Mountain territory of
the United States. So far the 1905
crop is short of 19O4-5 crop over
