~ The INTEREST OF TEMPERANCE.

Nv The INTEREST OF TEMPERANCE.
At no time during the twenty Or
more years that this paper has been
under the present management, has
the editor failed to speak in behalf
Of temperance. He has urged it
early and late, in season and out of
season. He hiss never minced st the
question, and his position has always
been known. He has, however, re-
fused to deal in personalities, and has
always scrupulousiy avoided politics.
In the present fight his sympathy
and influence are in the cause OF
prohibition, and he wishes to do all
he can in every legitimate way to
further that cause.
He, therefore, appeals to the
voters of Scotland Neck, and the
coed people at large, to champion
the cause ard rot the leaders. This
is fight between prohibition and
saloons, between temperance and in
temperance, between good and evil;
rather than between the leaders and
synpathiZers on the one side or on
the other. We fear that many are
allowing their prejudices and per-
soaal animosities to direct them in
this matter. On the street recently,
we heard man say that he did not
want Whi5ley here, yet he is going
to vote for saloons. Docs not want
Nhiskcy, does not want saloons; yet
he is going to vote for them! And
why? Because he does not like GER
tain men on the other side, because,
perhaps, some disconnected phrase
or statement, which he construed as
directed against him or some of his
friends, has been brought to his ears
in such way as to create wrong
impression. Now, We appeal to al
fi,ir-ninGed men to stop for mo,
ment and consider where they are
This is q moral issue, to bring good
OF evil to our town and community
Do you stand for the good? Do you
stand for morality? Then would
you allow q personal feeling for, OF
against a man or men on either side
confluence you to vote against what
you think right simply because ;
friend is on the wrong side, or, per
chance, because you have q persona
grievance against some one on the
right side? It is wrong to deal il
personalities even when Individual!
alone are concerned, but it is beyonC
al, reason to attempt to settle cues
tons Of general interest on persona
grounds. When man votes saloon
Or prohibition, he votes a genera
issue, separate and apart from ever,
individual on either side, he does no
vote for g man; for no individual, a
an individual, is concerned. Their
is no such election on hand. M
voting prohibition is one question
OF belief, Of principle, of right; m
voting for certain man in a state
or county, or town election is anoth
er question. If my friend gets O
the wrong side he is no less m
friend, but ! shall not vote with hir
because he is my friend. If m
enemy gets on the right side, | sha
not change my position in order t
oppose him. Friends, let us take
just, an iinpersonal, sensible vie
Of this matter and vote as we trul
think right!

LIKES LAKESIDE COPPER
GeoIogist Examines Promontory De-
posits and Gives Favorable Opinion.

Prof J. H Weber. the geologiSt, and
mining expert of national reputation.
who is enjoying a brief visit with his
brothers, William and Lewis. of this
city. has made two trips to the property
of the Lakeside Copper company on Pro
mOntOry Point within the past ten days,
with results most encouraging TO the
stockholders of that company. On the
second of these trips the greater part
of three days was given TO more thor
Ough examination of the property, says
the Ogden Standard.
1t is a blanket formation. In fact.
the entire district comprising Promontory
Point is made up of a sedimentary de-
pOsit The mineTalized zone is about
sixty feet in thickness. lying very near
the surface. perhaps not more than ten
TO sivty feet The abrupt decivity to-
wards the lake on the west and north
west exposes here and there the ore
which is deposited irregularly through
out a wide extent of the blanket vein.
The copper was deposited by precipita-
ton from waters that were brought
from a distance during a remote period
The distinct cause Of precipitation in
this locality was the presence of large
quantities Of vegetable matter. As the
vegetable matter was more prolific in
some places than in others, the copper
is TO be found more or less in separated
beds. There are some conditions on the
surface indicating the locality of these
deposits. The highly mineralized char
acter of the Guartzite exposures as well
as the cOnnguraJOn or the surface may
be taken somewhat as guides
The abundance and character of the
ore Groupings and the high grade quail
ity of them in places, are indicative of
large deposits of copper glance, which
assays 79 $40 per cent. With the I'M
covering of these deposits there is great
promise of a mine of this high grade
ore A carload at present prices will net
eight to ten thousand dollars.
1t is all but a certainty that these cop
per beds are to be found in the ore zone
covered by the claims of the Lakeside
Copper company, and the chances are as
seven or eight out of ten of opening up
a great mine.
On these grounds the property can be
said to be only a prospect but the pro-
fessor does not hesitate to say that il is
one prospect in a thousand.

Peppers BIG
TUNGSTEN Mine
Complete Tests Show That
! Rock Averages Over 80 Per
Cent in TungStic Acid.

that he was taking TO Denver, retuFheu

last here he promised to tell the Herald
what the result of the tests on the Rouhd
Mountain ores amounted TO. The tests
were made by Henry e. WOOD * COM

ing and metallurgical circles and one OF
of the best known engineers on the Gug-
seIhein staff watched the making OF
the tests from start to finish. declar-
ing at the end that he had never seen
such ore in his life. Mr.. Pepper aimed
TO land a full ton of his ore at Denver
for testing purposes, but the gross
weight was found to be only 1922
pounds
In the handling and dry washing of the
ore, forty-four and one-half pounds was
lost leaving 94S pounds on which to
make the run OF the 2l5.o pounds was
sorted out as being too high grade 10

per cent. By working 247 tons into one
or at that ratio, a concentrate was made
that assayed 1873 per cent tungstic acid
or within less than per cent of the
limit and that without determining what
the loss was in shines. For the product
of his 1,94S pounds of ore Mr.. Pepper re-
ceived 1926. % or at the rate of SI53.lS per
ton of concentrated product.
1t was determined by the test that
the simplest kind of concentrating ma
chinery could be depended upon to save
practically every particle of tungsten in
the ore and Mr.. Pepper now proposes
TO equip the mine with plant of modest
capacity in which rock breaker. a set

initial capacity of the mill will be in
creased as the development of the mine
iustifies and suggests.
