rank with the big mining concerns of
the country. In connection with the
proposed merger it is known that L.
M. Sullivan, president of the L. NJ
Sullivan Trust company of Goldfeld
has conferred with George Wingfield,
one of the heaviest stockholders in
the Dexter company, relative to the
project, and had made him an offer for
his Dexter holdings, amounting to ap-
proximately 100000 shares, at figure
considerably over the market.
The As-You-Like-It estate may also
form q part of the consolidation, pro-
viding the small piece of intervening
ground between it and the Stray Dog
can be acquired. 1t is known that
The syndicate at the head of the mer-
ger movement has considered taking
in this property owing to the discovery
recently of high grade ore on the AS
You-Like-It claim and the Lizard
Fraction belonging to the same cor
poration. Just what price was Of
fered has not been learned definitely,
but it is said to have been better than
rs cents per share. The strikes men,
toned are regarded as of more than
considerable Importance as the ore
opened up pans freely in gold, and the
ore bodies have been proven to be in
place and they show every indication
of permanency. Development work on
the As-You-Like-It property is being
aggressively prosecuted with view to
making the best possible showing be-
fore the consolidation is perfected, so
that the grounds true value may be
determined and fair price placed
upon the stock in the event the own
ers decide to join in the merger.
With every round of shots the two
ore bodies are showing constant i'm
provement, however, and the owners
of the mine may very likely decide to
operate their holdings independently.
AS a result of the negotiations there
has been a sharp advance in Stray
Dog, Jumping Jack, and Indian Camp
on the San Francisco and New York
exchanges, due to an unusually heavy
buying movement. Thursday Stray
Dog sold at so, Jumping Jack at AZ,
and Indian Camp at AZ cents-a gain
of from five to eight points in less
than fortnight.

NEVADA MINING LETTER.

The plan of merging several adjoin-
ing mining properties into immense
estates worth millions for the sake of
economical operations has extended
to Manhattan, where details are being
worked out making for the consoli-
dation of the Stray Dog, Indian Camp,
and Jumping Jack mines, with the
Union No. mine of the Dexter es-
tate into one corporate body of min
eral ground. 1t is stated here on ap-
parently unquestioned authority that
the owners of the control of the three
first named mines have been APP
preached with a firm offer for their
holdings at a valuation of two mil
lion dollars for the three, and that the
matter is receiving serious consider
alton. 1t is also said upon equally
as good information that there has
been a bear movement in Dexter for
the express purpose of affording the
manipulators an opportunity to buy
in most of the outstanding stock at a
low figure before the consolidation is
consummated.
1t is pointed out by those who are
well informed on the subject that such
merger would result in the forma-
ton of one of the most valuable min
ing estates in the state of Nevada.

as the controlling interests in the
Dexter could not secure control of
other property that they desired to
include in the merger the deal fell
through. At that time very fiat.
tering offer was made for control of
the Stray Dog and Indian Camp, but
not enough to tempt the owners of
these famous mining properties to
part with their holdings
The four properties involved in the
projected deal are among the greatest
mines of southern Nevada. The I'm
ion No. 9 mine was one of the first
big producers of the Manhattan dis
trict. Shortly after the discovery oil
pay ore on this property an import
ant find was made on the Stray Dog
proving the continuation of the great
Union No. 8 ore vein for a distance
of over 1000 feet. Then came dis
coveries on the Jumping Jack. ant
later on the Indian Camp, proving
the vein system of Gold Hill to b,
one of the most strongly formed ant
richest in this section. These fou
mines have been plethoric producers
for nearly year and have been ex
,tensively developed by numerous deel
shafts, thousands of feet of drifts ant
tunnels.
1t is estimated that there are or
reserves blocked out in the four prop
critics valued at over $3,000,000, ant
that with connections made under

increased to $5,000,000 or more. TIL

AN APPEASED LEADER.

Massachusetts, there she stands said the
Bay States greatest orator. But for a painful
period last week no one knew exactly where
Massachusetts stood, not even the tutelar Goldfish
in the State House. Chaos reigned. and bewil-
dered public held its breath while the Hon. ]. B.
Moran pondered his own and the common
wealth's destiny. Could the great breaker of
machines and extirpator of bosses accept nom-
ination from Democratic convention which had
had the execrable taste to bracket other names
with his on the roll of party heroes? Could he
consent to redeem a state so blind to super
eminent merit and so neglectful of the Fremont
uons of the future? 1t terrible struggle
between dignity and duty. But duty won--as
il always should-and the Hon. J. B. Moran at
last relented and agreed to give the grand old
commonwealth one more chance to prove that it
knows a 13-inch calibre statesman when 1t sees
him.
But he will run for Governor only on condi-
tions which salve his honor. He must be the
real issue the single figure In the political lime
light. Outsiders must be barred from entry and
domestic talent must be recognized and pro-
tected. Says the candidate with due emphasis
In his letter Of acceptance: This is TO be a
state fight not a national one. Organism and
"Hearstism must be eliminated from the can
"vass." Moranism is ism enough for the voters
Of Massachusetts, TO digest at ore election and
Mr.. Moran will see TO it that rival venders of
political nostrums do not do any business this
year in his pre-empted territory.
Having served this notice against trespassers,
Mr.. Moran seems to have recovered some of his
customary buOyancy and optimism. He is not
disposed TO deal harshly with the leaders who
suppressed his letter 70 the convention and so
left open the door for extraneous issues and
foreign idol worship. He exposes their duplicity
but does not lash them for their sins. Let past
differences be forgotten" he remarks. Quar-
'rels have been manufactured and chaos has
! "been vividly pictured" But these are now
happily things Of the past" With one leader
and one issue, the party can press forward to
victory. Singularity and solidarity are the
Moran watchwords. All that is necessary is
true conviction on the part of the voters that
the party has found heaven born leader. The
heaven born leader will do the rest

FARMING AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The announcement Of the opening next month
of the agricultural high school at Calvert, Nd,
of which Professor H. o. Sampson, of the United
States Department of Agriculture will be the
head, draws attention to the extent to which
the claims Of agriculture are coming to be rec
OgniZed in the public schools of the country.
Everybody knows more or less of the support
given by the government to the agricultural
experiment stations In the various states and
territories; what is less widely known is that
the Department of Agricut Ire is continually
endeavoring to introduce practical and helpful
courses in agriculture into the public school
curriculum.
In Wisconsin, which has three agricultural
schools. we'll supported by state appropriations
each public school in the country districts is
required to give a course in subjects having n
practical relation to farming. Agriculture ia
also taught in the normal schools as II Is in
New York. Each Congress district of Georgia
approprlates $4,000 annually for the teaching Of
agriculture in the schools. and courses are pre-
scrlbed in those of Kansas, North and South
Dakota, Montana and Colorado. Mr. j. J. Hills
somewhat sensational forecasts of the strain to
be put upon the agricultural resources of the
country within the next generation should and
probably will, make IT easier for Secretary Will
son and his cO-laborers to impress upon edu-
Gators the need of systematic agricultural in
struction among public school students in farm
ing communities.

SINCERITY

Mr.. Hearst In his Evening Journal" admits
that persons who do not believe in his sincerity
ought not 10 vote for him, and cites ''the opin-
ions expressed in his newspapers, the lawsuits
he has brought against trusts" as evidences Of
his character and devotion to the people
Anybody who looks up the opinions expressed
in his newspapers will find among them thinly
yelled justification of assassination, followed by
SOLDERING panegyrics on Mckinley after the
assassins bullet had stricken down the man
long described by them a contemplate enemy
of the people. He will also find the opinion ex-
pressed that Murphy is thief who should be
in state prison, whereas he is now in partner
ship with Hearst. He will find bitter denuncia-
ton of holding companies and tax dodgers and
irresponsible corporation managers whereas
Hearst lodges taxes on his properties and es-
capes responsibility by a New Jersey holding
company.
Mr.. Hearst while bringing suits against
trusts was the proprietor of a trust through
which he eluded poor persons who brought suit
against him for injuries which they had suf-
fered at the hands Of his agents.
His newspaper says: Those who can point
ito any FACT IN his career that indicates insin-
''cerity ought NOT to vote for him" Can 1t
explain his changing attitude toward Mckinley
and Murphy and the discrepancy between his
public and private relation to corporations by
anything but insincerity?

THE LAST CHANCE.


Any citizen of New York City whose name is
not on the registry by 10 o'clock tonight can
have no part in deciding the momentous question
at stake in the coming election. If he has neg
lected the three opportunities already given, and
now neglects the last chance offered him, his
convictions will be useless his patriotism idle
and his declarations of friendship for this or
that candidate mere empty boastngs.
To-day is the last day of registry Every
citizen who has not already placed his name on
the lists should stop at the polling place before
he goes TO his business this morning The poll
ing places are convenient TO every mans home
1t Will take but few minutes TO qualify for
voting. The Tribune publishes this morning
the full official list OF election districts. their
boundaries and the place of registry in each.
for the boroughs Of Manhattan and The Bronx,
and similar lists for Brooklyn, Queens and
Richmond are accessible to the residents of
those boroughs through the local publications
designated by law to carry official advertise
ments. For the convenience Of its readers who
might be confused by the reapportionment and
have difficulty in determining the assembly dis
trct under which they were to look for their
election precinct, The Tribune on Saturday
morning published a map showing the boun-
daries of the new Assembly districts in New
York County.
The Tribune and other newspapers have taken
every possible opportunity to bring to the at
tention of citizens the necessity of registration
and to afford them all information tending to
make registration easy. If any citizen let's this
day close without being qualified to vote he will
have left an important duty Of citizenship un-
performed, with no excuse but his own indlffer
