THE RESIGNATION OF DIRECTOR
GENERAL BARR.

James NJ. Barr the man who was
To save the jamestown Exposition,
has resigned. To the majority OF
tho people of this section of the com
try the resignation will come ms n
matter of surprise but to those on
tho inside 1t has been known that
MIR. Barr has been considering the
ACCESSIBILITY OF such a step for some
time past. The reason for the rcsig
nation rs given by Mr.. Barr is that
he cannot maintain his self respect
while continually engaging In petty
social Quarrcls with President
Tucker. That there have been petty.
spitoful social anlmosities existing
among the Exposition officials is to
be deplorcd and the revival OF the
whole miserable business will give
the newspapers all over the country
an opportunity to poke moro fun at
the Exposition, which has from
its very inception, been I'M
fortunate In this respect. II
has been social differences and
had management in entertaining dis
tlneuished guests from other sections
of the country from the very start.
Mr. Barr came To the jamestown
Exposition distinctly rs business
proposition. He took the office with.
out pay and was urged to take the
place by certain corporations which
had financial interests in the enter.
prise. lie was put there TO, II posi-
Bile, to make losing venture n pay
ing one. II is an open secret that the
United States government had hand
in placing Mr.. Barr ut the head OF
the Exposition, At least before Mir
Barr took the position ho-Mas as
surcd that the Treasury Department
would not press the claim that was
due the government to the extent OF
closing the gates. Mr.. Barr began his
administration by making swccpmg
reforms. and 1t must be recorded in
all fairness that he did cut down n
whole lot OF useless expenses. Tho
entire administration of the finances
of the fair was radically changed and
for few short days it seemed as II
the jamestown Exposition was enter
Ing upon n new life. Novel ndvertis
Ing measures were entered into and
the result was that the crowds began
10 increase, ana the most biased pcr
son cannot dispute the assertion that
the first steps taken by MIR. Barr wer,
immensely beneficial to the Exposi
lion. Then came the social quarrel
which II was hoped would be settled
but which for the past week has
been raging to such an extent that
the best friends of the fair gave n,
all hope that there would be a com
promise that was satisfactory TO al
concerned.
Whether Mr.. Barr had the right t.
demand that he be recognized at nj
OF the social functions given by Pres
ident Tucker, or whether Mr.. Tucko,
had the right rs the president of tn,

Is a matter between these two gentle
men. but 1t is the honest opinion o
me Daily Press that Presiden
Tucker has made a pistake in press
ing Mr.. Barr too hard. The Dahl
Press entertains this opinion becaus,
1t regards the jamestown Exposition
as business proposition-not as
social function. Mr.. Tucker ma,
have his reasons for refusing to rec

MIDAS

An unexpected vein vas cut on
the shaft of the Midas this week. Ten
feet of milling ore, principally a sui
phide tale, were passed through at
a depth of 100 feet. This vein lies
between well defined walls and bears
all marks of the staying proposition.
Two new machines were installed on
Thursday, one in the Banner and one
in the Midas, in the shafts, and sink
ing resumed on that day on the for
mer from the 170-foot level. Six of
the Burleigh drills are now in sue
cessful operation, and these shafts
are going down faster than any in
the district. C~rosscutting continues
on both properties, and the manage
ment are daily expecting to catch the
big ledge in the Banner north cross
cut. During the last six months
these properties have dropped the
name of prospects and taken a place
among the mines of the district. =

After about eleven months So

increasing business demanded larger
