WASHINGTON NEWS.

The country is now face to face
with the railroad rate fight. In
stead Of the squabbles that have
been taking place behind the
closed doors of the senate COM
mittee on Interstate Commerce,
the great battle is now to be
fought out openly on the floor of
the senate, and the people will
now have an opportunity to see
whether their representatives are
with the president and the peo-
pie, or with the railroads. Sen
ator Aldrich, the pet of the
Standard Oil company, has been
trying to place the railroad fight
in the light of a huge joke. Un-
able to amend the Hepburn bill
in the committee, he seems to
have taken almost malicious de-
light in suggesting Senator Till
man as the proper person to have
charge of it no the floor of the
senate. The honor belonged to
Senator Dolliver, who has stood
staunchly for the bill, but the
Aldrich strength, composed of
Aldrich, Foraker, Keen, Crane
and Elkins, was sufficient to
name Tillman.
The supposition of Senator AID
rich that there was so much i'll
feeling between the president
and Tillman that the passage of
the bill would be materially
handicapped if put in Tillman's
hands has already happily proved
to be erroneous. Roosevelt and
Tillman are too big and too pat
riotic to permit their own per-
sonal differences to enter into
such an important matter, and
Tillman declares that he will
push the measure as earnestly
and as vigorously as if it had
been proposed by president OF
his own party. While Senator
Tillman is nominally the leader
, OF the administration forces ir
the senate on the rate question
the real power behind the throne
is Bailey, Of Texas. the most
astute politician and gifted orator
in either house of congress. This
; does not mean that Tillman i:
merely a fgurehead, but it means
! that during the coming battle be
: tween the giants of the senate
> Bailey will be at Tillman's side
ever ready to help him in tn,
great legislative battle.

ELK'CITY BASIN.
State Mine Inspectors Report on
Past Year.

mining operations IN the ELK City
basin is taken from the annual
report for 1905, of R. N. Bell, in
spector Of mines. Its value lies
chiefly in the disinterestedness of
it's source and it's accuracy, which |
with a few, exceptions of purely
local character stands unques-
toned.
This old mining section has en-
joyed one of the most active sea-
sons of it's history during the
past year, and great deal
of interest has been taken in its
resources by outside capitalists.
THE HOGAN MINE.
The great Hogan mine, at Oro-
grande, owned by the Crooked
River Mining & Milling Com
pany, has been the center of at
traction during the year.
It's 9OO-ton cyanide mill was
completed and put in operation
early in 1905 and it's equipment
subsequently considerably ex-
tended and added to, and late
reports say that is is in success
full operation at the present time,
showing good results.
This property has a great zone
of crushed. shattered and sheet
ed granitic rock that is said to
average by careful sampling be-
tween $500 and $4.O0 per ton in
gold. 1t is over 500 feet wide in
places and ideally situated for
economical operation.
1t is worked by the open quarry
or "glory hole" method and has
made the best record in the state
for cheap operating costs, which
are said to have been brought
down as low as 60 cents per ton
for mining and milling on ex-
tensive test runs,
The success of this plant in
proftably handling the low-grade
ores OF this great zone will
doubtless result in it's being
largely increased in capacity, and
the proposition presents pro-
liability of developing into a mine
of the ''Treadwell'' class, for the
zone is of sufficient size to fur
nish a tonnage supply of almost
any desired milling capacity.
I am informed that the quarry
work on this property has recent
ly revealed some smaller channels
of high-grade ore that can be
mined separately and are said tt
carry average values ranging W
as much as $100 per ton. There
are number of deposits of this
class in the Elk City basin anC
adjacent country extending t,
the east and on several of thesi
considerable active development
is now in progress.
Another class of deposits fo
which the Elk City basin is note'
is a system of pronounced gold
bearing quartz fssure veins
often accompanied, with small in
trusive dikes of aplite or grant
porphyry.
Among the conspicuous eS
amples of this class are tn
American Eagle, the Blue Ribbo
the Buster and others.
THE BUSTER, MINE:
The second level of the Busts
mine, half a mile north OF III
City, was. extended during tn
past year. into its principal OF
shoot, where body of exceI
tionally high-grade ore was dis
closed over 20 feet wide.
good deal of this ore would ru
