THE GOOD NAME OF AMARILLO.

There is no more perplexing
problem confronting the sociologist
than is presented bv the fallen in
nocence that generally assumes
prominence in the ratio of the size
and Importance of commercial
centers.
Amarillo has her churches, her
schools, her philanthropists, her
rich and her poor like other cities
of her class the country over, but
she must bow her head in shame
when openly and without apology
or excuse there is north Of the rail-
road tracks on the public highway
a dozen resorts of ill-fame that ply
their nefarious vocation day and
night with perfect freedom from
molestation.
The visitor that is charmed with
our churches, our schools and our
morals receives a shock when in
formed that the northwest quarter
of the city consists of a large va
cant area except a score of houses
of prostitution, that sell liquors
without license seven days in the
week and publish to the world their
wares for sale as openly as does
the dry goods merchant.
Two years ago Amarillo raised
a bonus amounting in land and
money to $4,000 for a Baptist
College. A visiting commission Of
twenty gentlemen in viewing the
various sites offered were driven
past the doors of a dozen houses
where sirens posed in dishabille as
if their vocation had the indorse-
ment Of the citizenship of the city
and county. The commission nat
urally concluded that if the lnno-
cent youth Of the land had to be
educated in Amarillo they had bet
ter be kept at home. If there is
any other place of seven thousand
people in the United States where
undiluted infamy is allowed to
fiaunt itself before the public I'M
disturbed we would like TO hear Of
it as it would be some comfort to
know that Amarillo citizenship Is
not alone in the disgrace 1t toler-
ates.
Some wise apologists for all
forms of human degradation will
say that this putrid excrescence is
but one of the component parts Of
our social fabric, and 1t is idle to
attempt to eliminate it. In answer
to this we reply that in many cities
several times the size of Amarillo
among which may be mentioned
Montgomery Alabama, and Toron-
to, Canada, stranger cannot find
a resort next door to hell and the

BRYAN ENDORSED IN MISSOURI.

The Missouri state democratic
convention held in Jefferson City
recently, adopted the following as
one of it's declarations:
1T has been demonstrated to the
satisfaction of every patriotic, in
telligent and fair minded American
that William J. Bryan was defeated
for the presidency when he was
the candidate of the democratic
party by the corrupt use of an en-
ormous slush fund aggregating
millions of dollars, contributed by
great corporations and by those in
terested in special industries en-
joying special privileges under the
law. The charges made by demo-
cratic leaders and the democratic
press that this was true, which
charges were at the time indignant
ly denied with a great show Of
virtue, are now substantially proven
to be true. We declare that it is
alike due to Mr.. Bryan himself, and
to the integrity Of our institutions,
that he would be elected to the
highest office Of chief magistrate Of
the nation at the election to be
held in 9o9, Of which position he

A well favored piece of ground in the
vicinity of Cold springs is the Panyan
group where the company is prosecut-
ing steady development. An inclined
shaft has been sunk on a ledge which
appears on the surface and is now
down about lilo feet. The body has
been steadily widening until at the
bottom the hanging wall is lost so that
no very good idea of its width can be
had. At a depth of 80 feet the rock
changes from the oxides to the sui
phide form. The showing is very
strong and the rock throughout the
shaft assays about SAP. There is every
indication that a large body of medium
grade ore is present and Foreman
Archer is very enthusiastic for the
future.

1t is impossible to realize without a !
visit to the ground how big a thing the
Gold Bar Mining company in Goldfeld
has in the fraction of that name and
the c. O. B. group which it also owns
and operates. 1t is apparent from the
way development work is being carried
on that the company, however, fully
appreciates its ground. The shaft
which is large and built with two COM
partments is fully timbered with Sx8
timbers and is down 165 feet. At the
$50 level a station is being cut. The
shaft will be continued to water level
which should be between 300 and 400
feet. On the 66-foot level a quartz vein
55 feet wide has been explored by drift
and crosscut for over 80 feet, where it
forms a contact with the porphyry. On
the contact a winze has been sunk l13
feet and is all in high-grade ore. The
size of the body and the values have
increased with depth and the last ore
extracted which leaves a magnificent
appearing breast assayed $256. At
this point it is 4 feet wide. 1t is the in
tended to crosscut from the 200 level
and upon striking the vein to raise to
the winze when plenty of stopping ground
will be had. Superintendent Koontz,
who escorted the News representative
through the workings permitted him to
select samples hap-hazard which when
brought to the surface PANIED splendid
strings of free gold. Dirt taken care
lessly from different parts of the large
dump showed the same result. About
100 tons of ore is sacked on the ground
and will run over $50. tits the ultimate
intention of the Gold Bar company tt

The AID Astra company's lease on the
Lone Star claim of the Rochester group
has resumed work after a respite of
one week. The shaft is down $50 feet
and crosscutting will begin at once.
On Tuesday morning the shaft entered
a new ledge of sulphides which prom
ises high values. No assays have been
had, however. OF rs samples taken
from the shaft below the 50-foot mark,
however, ID ranged from 800. 60 to $608.
The balance showed returns of from S3
to $40.
The Rochester company is about to
start work upon the Texas claim on an
extensive scale. A shaft at present is
down "a feet and with a hoist which
has been ordered it will be sunk
rapidly. A ledge which assays on the
surface $1,000 runs through the ground
and passes about 80 feet from the AID
Astra company's shaft. 1t is for this
they will crosscut. Superintendent
Gray of the AID Astra lease is confident
the ground will make a mine. Two
shifts are being worked and the life Of
the lease is three years from the 18th
of last month.

The Gold Circle Mining company,
which own some very good looking
claims not far from Tognoni springs is
about to resume work in real earnest.
A shaft was sunk to a depth of 100
feet under the supervision of Superin-
tendent J. S. Morrison. A good strong
vein of sulphides which assays $40 was
cut at the 80-foot mark and although
things looked good the controlling in
terests then Of Los Angeles became
timid and vas stopped. Now, however,
control has been secured by the in
v~estors who all along favored develop
ment and there is no doubt the situa-
ton has taken a favorable turn. A
within has been ordered and work is to
commence shortly.

A seam Of ore which it is believed
will assay $50, 600 to the ton has been
encountered in a drift in the Jumbo
mine at the 150-foot level. This new
and sensational strike reveals the great
amount of work which is going on in
this property. Drifting is being pro-

jected from the 2O0-foot, 25O-foot and
300-foot levels to the north and south
and it is intended to connect all the
workings on the 200-foot level. This
will give a drift 900 feet long in the
center of which is the main shaft with
its hoist thus offering much better
facilities for lifting the ore. Between
40 and so tons of rock which assays
from SIS to $500 is now ready to ship
and in a short time several carloads
will be sent to Salt Lake. All of the
workings are in high grade ore and
there is a wonderfully large amount of
stopping ground. The entire allotment
Of treasury stock, 300, 900 shares, is
still in the company's hands and on the
ground is from 5000 to 5000 tons of
good milling ore. Of this the company
owns about one-half. So far 5000, 900
has been received by the company as
royalties from various leases. A 10
per cent dividend was declared from
this sum and the balance was expended
OF the mill and general development.
Owing to inability thus far to decide
upon the nature of treatment for the
ore the mill has not been completed.
Until this is decided it is probable that
the high grade ore will be shipped
regularly to Salt Lake.

AS far as the heads of the big
