A BIRD'S-EYE VIEW
OF the Campaiqn of 1906.

Beside much activity elsewhere, in
Indiana, New York, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota,
South Dakota, Texas, Colorado, Idaho,
and California the Prohibitionlsts
have full state tickets in the field and
are making a magnificent battle for
Christian citizenship and the over
throw of the nations worst trust OF
all-the beer-whiskey octopus.
It is very probable that the legis-
latures of Illinois, Minnesota, New
York, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania will
have from one to half a dozen party
Prohibitionists apiece among their
membership when they next convene.
Strenuous campaigns to win are now
being carried on in upwards OF sew
enty-five legislative districts OF these
four commonwealth and it is no ex-
aggeration to say that in at least
twenty-five of these districts the Pro-
hibitionists have splendid fighting
chance of election.
Illinois, which already boasts OF
three Prohibition party members OF
the Legislature, confidently hopes to
double and perhaps triple that number.
A score of strong contests is IN
progress in Nebraska.

DOES OUR GOVERNMENT PART

By Jas. n. Woerte ndyke.

On the one page of our ledger OF
accounts with the liquor traffic we
discover the government receipts to be
approximately 100000. Here we
are accustomed to stop and proceed
to congratulate ourselves over the
success of our enterprise, never look
ing at the other page of the ledger to
discover the cost and expense of run
ming the business. If we will invest
igate the matter we will learn that
the expense account runs up to over
$4,000 900 to provide for crime, pow
erty and insanity alone. Thus we lose
S13,OOO,OOO beside the woe, sorrow,
broken hearts and wretcnedness that
can't be computed in dollars and cents.
Let all note the governments loss
and VOTE to dissolve this partnership,
that we may be free people.

SOLUTION OF THE TRUST QUEST
ION

We hold that when any corporation
or industrial body gets into it's hands
a practical monopoly of the necessities
of life and by virtue of such monopoly
charges the consumer, the public, an
excessive and eXtOrtiOnate price, 1t
should be punished as criminal.
The public must exercise effective
control over all mOnOpOlistic enter
prises in which competition has been
virtually stamped out. Public owner
ship should follow only where public
control has proved inadequate; but in
that event it must follow. The people
must be protected. The trusts and
other forms of vast wealth in our land
constitute serious menace to our in
dustrial and political freedom.-Wis-
consin Prohibition platform.
The newspapers of the land are
giving great publicity to the candidacy
of D. Clarence Gibboney, district at
torney of Philadelphia. They seem,
however, never to have heard that he
is a full-fledged Prohibitionist and was
first nominated by that party. Public
opinion compelled the City party to
endorse his nomination and huge
fight is on.
For sixteen years Mr.. Gibboney has
been the secretary of the Law and
Order Society, and has done more to
break up dens of vice and crime than
the entire police force of the city.
Ninety-five per cent of the arrests he
has instigated have resulted in con-
viction. There seems good ground for
the hope that the best voters of the
city will lay aside partisanship and
elect him.

THE INITIATIVE AND REFEREN-
DIM
The Prohibition Party Stands for 1t in
Order to Substitute the Rule OF
the People for That of the
Machine.

Machine.
For sixty years the American liquor
traffic has managed to exist by hiding
behind things.
1t hid behind the issues of the Civil
War. The war is now over
1t hid behind a score of political
issues that grew out of the war.
These issues are now settled or for
gotten.
1t hid behind the industrial use of
alcohol. That covering has been
stripped away by segregating the
beverage traffic from industrial uses
by the denatured alcohol bill.
The traffic is now barricaded behind
the dominant political parties-behind
machine rule.
The next problem is to destroy this
shelter by restoring the sovereignty
of the people, which the Initiative and
Referendum will aid greatly in &C
complishing. The proposition is to
merely substitute the peoples sover-
eighty for the sovereignty OF the ma
chine-W. E. Johnson.

LEASES ON THE SILVER PICK

The management of the Silver Pick
Leasing & Mining company is feeling
very jubilant because of the good ore
showing on their Silver Pick leases
Fine looking ore which shows free gold
is reported to have been strucy at a
depth of SO feet and the ledge appears
TO be very large. That this shaft will
soon be in Mohawk ore is the confident
expectation of the management.
This company is trying to break the
camps record for fast sinking and in the
past thirty days have sunk two double
compartment shafts both of which are
now down below the S0-foot depth. Both
of these shafts are substantially tim
bered and are to be equipped with paw
erful gasoline hosting plants and every
facility for rapid. economical working
The sites of the shafts were selected
by the company's engineers where they
were sure they would strike Mohawk
ores at a depth of about 200 feet where
they intersected with veins from Com
bination and January.
In addition to their Silver Pick leases
the Silver Pick Leasing & Mining com
pany have two leases in block 500 b,

DIAMONDFIELD
TRIANGLE'S
NEW BOARD

and Make T. B. Hickey. the
Banker, President---
Stock Takes Jump

new board of directors and officers
for the Diarnondfeld Triangle company
were chosen for the ensuing year at the
company's office in this city last night.
The new officers are: President, I. B.
Hickey, president of the State Bank
& Trust company; first vice president,
VIM. j. Brewer, mine operator and
broker; second vice president, M j.
Monnette of the firm of Hayes & Mon
nette; secretary, f. McFadden; attorney,
Milton M. Detch, and III. L. Bragdon,
mine owner. director. Consulting en-
gineer, A. @. Peterson. One of the Of
ficers OF the local banks will be selected
as treasurer by the directors.
The report of the retiring treasurer
of the company showed a substantial
sum in the treasury and 10000 shares
OF treasury stock unsold. The rumor
that a consolidation with the Daisy
syndicate was contemplated was denied
by those who hold the controlling inter-
est in the stock of the company.
vigorous policy of development will be
inaugurated at once both on company
account and by the leasing system. The
new officers and directors are well
known in Goldfield and throughout
Southwestern Nevada as successful min
ing men. The so acres owned by the
Diamondheld Triangle is situated in
the very best part of the Diamondfeld
section of the district
The company has opened up in the
past week a 12-foot lead of quartz on
the Victor lode that assays as high as
$25. On the Peterson block of ground
the new shaft is down so feet and it
will be continued to the 300-foot point.
There are already many applications for
leases on the ground.
Partly as a result of the reorganiza-
tion and partly because Of the snod
showing made on the property this
week. Diamondfieid Triangle stock took
big jump late yesterday afternoon,
going from 1s to 81. 1t is predicted that
80 cents will be reached within 10
days.

The decks have been cleared by Hayes
and Monnette and they are ready for ac-
tion. They are after a worlds record
and not a man, woman or child in the
civilized world but is hoping that the
record will be smashed. Still those
worldwide sympathizers and boosters
for Hayes and Monnette would be just
as strong rooters for a wold-be new
champion. The reason for this is that
gold adds to the worlds prosperity. 1t
there is of it the easier it is to get hold
of. No one is jealous of the man who
is producing gold. He has no business
rivals and there is no danger of an
overproduction. The money he accumu
lates is not tainted"
Equal Unknown to History
Never before in the history of mining
was there such bonanza lease. There
is a chance that body of ore wider
and richer will be opened on the Mo-
hawk by one of the other lessees that
will equal 1T. Wonderful things are
happening in Goldfield every day. Big
strikes are becoming so common that
the announcement is given scant atten-
tion. In the Hayes and Monnette work.
ings there is body of ore over so feet
wide and all high grade. The stope at
the 200-foot level is like an immense
cave with stalactytes hanging from
the roof. These stalactytes are the pill
lars left standing to support the roof

GREENwATEE PROMOTION

The Greenwater Red Boy Copper Min
ing Co. was organized a few weeks ago
and the following Goldfield mining and
business men were selected as officers:
President, It. B. hickey; vice president,
H. T. Bragdon; treasurer. James L.
Lindsay; secretary, r. B. Todd. These
officers with A. d. Myers will form the
board of directors.
1t was decided week ago to offer
400, 900 shares of the stock at 35 cents
share for the purpose of raising
good round sum for the purpose of plac-
ing the mine in shape for a heavy pro-
duction d. Mackenzie e. Co., the well
known mine owners and brokers, under
took the flotation and in the week they
received orders from all over the coun-
try and the stock was oversubscribed to
the amount of 100000 shares.
The company is the owner of the Red
Boy group of five claims which was the
original discovery in the Greenwater
district and from the little work done
it has the appearance of turning out to
be one of the big mines of the promis-
ing copper camp to the south of Gold
field in Inyo county, California. f. N
Fletcher a competent copper ore miner
has been secured as manager and has
already started the work of develop
ment with a force of 10 miners.

There is enough gold in each one of
them to make an ordinary man rich.
Mohawk rock as it is broken and
ming from 5000 to better than $400
ton. 1t is being marketed at the rate
of from 4 to 5 carloads a day. In one
place there is streak feet wide that
if saved separately would average
81 900 in carload lots. The grade of
the ore being shipped is better than at
any in the history of the lease.
Smelter settlement are being received
almost daily and single drafts call for
as much as 100000; but of course that
represents more than one days output.
That figure will be beaten for one days
production before the year is over. The
life of the lease will end with the COM
ing of the new year.
History of Development
The first shipment from the lease was
made on the 18th of last April and the
ore came from the 150-foot level. The
quartz carried gold a. tias rase of about
500. The apex of the snoot was close
to this point. A winze was sunk and it
was found that as depth was gained
both the quantity and quality of the
ore was on the increase. The vertical
shaft was continued to the 200-foot level
and new shaft was sunk as it was
known that the old one was not large
enough to handle the tonnage. 1t
reached the ore body in a remarkably
short time. There are three engines in

The Gold Bar of Goldfield has been a
mine for over a year. Ever since TINS
TACT became definitely known to the
owners of the property very little atten-
ton has been paid to ore production and
about the entire force has been employed
on dead work and the showing TO say
the least is very gratifying
Those who have had the privilege OF
examinging the underground workings
OF the Gold Bar say 1t has all the ear
marks of a great mine. Development
work is still in progress and most OF IL
Is being done at the 200-foot level. In
the east drift which has been EXTENDED
on the dyke a distance of 90 rect on
quartz that assays all the way from 30
10 SIS, a new ore shoot was entered this
week. 1t shows feet of quartz that
runs at the rate of SIS ton. In the
north crosscut at this point the ledge
was found to be AZ feet wide and the
entire body is milling ore that VIII
average in the neighborhood OF $40
ton. In the west drift toward the c. o.
ID. there is showing feet of rock that
assays at the rate of 50. All of these
values are in the dyke and in no way
connected with the rich shoot opened up
in the e5-foot level from which several
cars of high grade has been shipped.

is PUSHING
PRODUCTION
New 50-HOrse Power Electric
Hoist Ordered and Nothing
But Ore Will be Raised
to the Surface

The Frances Mohawk company has
been shipping at the rate of broad
gauge carloads of ore a day during the
past week and it is all high grade stuff.
The lowest lot settled for went at
the rate of $40 ton and the highest
$344. No attention is being paid to
sorting. Everything in the wide body
as it is shot down is dumped into the
cars. The ore body at the $50 or bot
tom level was entered last Wednesday
and the entire breast of the drift is in
high grade that assays all the way
from $3.50 to $4,000. The drift will be
pushed along with all possible speed
and stopping will be in order at this
level in the near future.
A new 50-horse power electric hoist
has been ordered which will be put in
place with a rush. The foundation is
ready for it. This will give the COM
pany total hosting capacity of 90
horse power. Nothing but ore will be
taken to the surface from now on to
the end of the year. This lease is al
ready a formidable rival of the Hayes
and Monnette. 1t is a little early to
make a prediction of what the tonnage
and its value day will be before the
month is over but the optimists say it
will reach in value close to the 500, 900
mark. 1t does not take a very heavy
being mined to reach that figure and
two hoists that will be in use on the
mine can easily do the trick.

sensation unique in the annals of
Goldfield was sprung yesterday when
Mr.. Jas. r. Davis came in on his auto
mobile from Round Mountain with As
pounds of gold dust from the new
placers recently opened on the Sunnyside
ground in that camp. Nevada gold
mines have been sensat tional in many
respects, but this is the first instance
where they have gone to actually shovel
ing the surface dirt and producing gold
in placer form on such scale. The
amount brought in by Mr.. Davis was
ten-day clean up and has total value
somewhere between $4,000 and $4,000.
This gold was placed in the bank vaults
of John s. Cook & Co. and will tomorrw
rect to the mint.
Speaking of the Round Mountain
ground. Mr.. Davis says:
There are 20 men at work and they
are literally shoveling up the landscape
and turning it into gold. Each days
clean up represents from $500 to $1,000,
and the ground is improving both in
richness and extent as the work pro-
crosses. The lessee, Mr.. Thomas VIII
son, confidently believes that he can
clean up a half million dollars before
the expiration of his lease
