ORE IN SIGHT FOR TEN YEARS
President Fries States Ruby Hill
Mines Have Immense Ore
Bodies Blocked Out

Albert Fries Of New York, President
Of the Richmond. Eureka Mining Com
pany. was In San Francisco a few days
ago.
In conversation with a Chronicle re-
porter Mr.. Fries stated 'that the joint
properties, formerly the Eureka Con-
solidated aud Richmond Mining Com
panies, whose lawsuits have been in the
State courts and in those at Washing.
ton. ID. G, for years. have been settled.
After remaining closed for eighteen
years. the properties have been re-
opened under a new joint company,
control Of which Is vested with the Q.
Fries estate Of New York and the
United States Smelling and Mining
Company of Boston.
During the past five months ore has
been shipped from those properties In
large quantities TO the smelters OF the
United States Company in Utah. and
plans have just been perfected for IN
creased facilities for the handling Of up
ward Of 500 ,ons per day. Work has
been blocked ont at that rate for the
next seven to ten years. 1t is not at all
unlikely that these properties will again
become as great and valuable as they
were in the past. when they yielded up
ward Of $40. 600, 900 in lead, silver and
gold. The town Of Eureka, once a
fiourishing mining camp, has been re-
yiyed through the renewed activities In
those mines.

second obstacle will not appear half az
big If you get past the first

The problem Of poverty has been
pretty thoroughly studied in this gen.
GRAFTON. Without pretending to init
mate that all is known that can be
known or that wisdom will die with us,
yet it appears pretty clear that one of
the worst possible means of attacking
the poverty problem is to give great
sums of money to the poor. The right
aim of society is justice and not char
ity. Charity is always to be regarded
as a palliative, as an attempt to rem
der some measure Of equity where the
ordinary rocesses-that is to say, the
system of society at that time in vogue
have failed. The Socialists and
dreamers imagine vainly that the only
factor in the failure to distribute the
benefits Of society is the thing called
frame of government or the collective
thing called the fabric of society, wher-
as the greatest factor contributing to
the failure is human nature and the in
herent defects of individuals.

Drey,fus' Heroic Wife.

Oh, that poor dream of the wife who
should meet him with outstretched
arms. She was there, indeed in that
somber old city, Rennes; but as he
suffered, she, too, was to suffer. If,
among all the personages of this tragic
drama, one was worthy of all respect,
that one was Lucie Dreyfus. During
five years she had borne her suffering
with noble dignity her faith had never
wavered she had hidden from her chill
dren all knowledge Of the awful TRACE
dy; you had thought there could go out
to her only pity and admiration. Ah,
you do not know how fierce a hatred
burned in France, In those days. Mad
anne Dreyfus was turned away from
every hotel in Rennes. Not one would
take this poor wife ln-her name was
Dreyfus. The old woman who finally
gave her house-room was stoned and
hooted in the streets. And all this night
Of the "raitor's' return a mob hung
round her doors or drank in tavern
over the way, shouting the while q
song of 'Death to the Jews l"-Suc

A Dog Habit.

Have you ever thought why 1t Is
that dog turns around and around
when he jumps up on his cushion or
starts to settle himself anywhere for a
nap? Now that you are reminded you
can recall that you have seen dog
do it many times, can't you? This hab-
1t Is about all that Is left to our tame
little doggies of the days long ago, when
they were a race Of wild animals and
lived in the woods. Their beds then
were matted grass and leaves, and it
was to trample enough grass and prop
erly arrange the leaves that the dog al
ways trod around narrow circle be-
fore he would lie down. The dog of
to-day keeps up the same old habit. al
though there Is no longer any need for
1t, and of course the animal has no
notion why he does 1t.

mistakes that he was ruled out. An

Piracy in the Philippines.
About two years ago two officers Of
the Philippine constabulary, stationed
at Misamis, Mindanao, started on
short-liyed career Of piracy which
equals most anything in the pages Of
fiction. Captain Herman and Lieuten-
ant Johnson were short In their ac-
counts, and the day for auditing was
close at hand. They had to get money
somehow and decided to raise 1t in a
good, old romantic fashion.
The steamer Victoria lay at anchor
off the beach, and they decided to seize
1t and make for Borneo. Before en-
barking, they took what money was in
the safe-about $5,0O0-and ordered
about fifteen of their men to accom-
pany them. During the night this force
rowed out to the Victoria and silently
crept on board. The Spanish captain
was awakened from his sleep by the
cold barrel Of revolver stroking his
face.
We're off for Borneo, savvy," yelled
Johnson in the drowsy mans ear, "and
we want steam, and lots of 1t, and
quick, too"
OF course, they got steam. The Vic
toria with black smoke curling from
her tunnels was soon under way. But
the next morning the Spanish captain
made known the fact that the ship had
run out Of coal. But coastwise steam
er hove into view, and running close,
the pirates ordered their constables to
fire volley. The coaster hove to and
was boarded. AS result all her spare
coal was transferred to the Victoria.
But the Spanish captain outwitted
the pirates. He found his story of no
coal was met with plentiful supply,
taken from the held-up coaster, so with
rare presence of mind he ran his vessel
on reef In such manner that she
was perfectly safe. Then he Informed
Herman and johnson that he could not
get her off Of her dangerous position.
In desperation, the pirates then left
the vessel, having commandeered a ma
tive boat. They proceeded to Negros,
where they lay waiting to be picked up
by an Australian liner. But while they
were waiting in the proa the proa-men
who had been impressed into the pi-
rates service shot them. johnson was
killed and Herman, severely wounded,
was captured.

On the so-called race suicide" ques-
ton there Is a good deal of loose talk
and generalizing without knowledge.
Professor II. A. Ross article on civili-
zatlon and the birth rate In a recent
issue Of a sociological periodical is one
Of the many Illustrations of how not
to treat the question. 1t is apparently
based on a few facts and cavalier dis
regard Of all facts that are adverse to
the theory held by the author. 1t Is
easy, on the one hand, to say that the
restriction Of the size Of the family Is
due TO selfshness, love of pleasure,
shirking Of the duties and responsible
ties Of life, lack of moral courage. 1t Is
equally easy, on the other hand, to ar
que that restriction Is both a symptom
Of progress material and physical, and
a cause of 1t. Professor Ross cheerful
ly assumes that all those who hate fam
Inc, vice, ignorance, pauperism and dis
ease hall the decline of the birth rate,
while those who deplore it he consigns
to such categorles as ''mystics, clerics,
sentimentallsts, mllitarists, capitalists. "
Now any man Of average experience
and intelligence Is aware that the re-
striction Of the size of the family Is
neither necessarily a blessing nor nee
essarily curse to society. He knows
Of instances where the restriction is un-
doubtedly the result of unworthy mo-
tives, and he also knows Of cases where
there Is too little rather than too much
thought Of restriction. In England two
attempts have been made to get at the
facts-all the facts-of the birth rate
In really scientific manner. A report
on the subject was issued some time
ago by the mathematical department
Of the London University. That report
showed that the restriction was prac
ticed "at the wrong end" The rate Ii
low for the superior, the thrifty, the
educated and prosperous 1t is not low
for the morally and socially inferior
classes. The evidence showed, accord
Ing to the report that "the birth rat,
Of the more capable stocks was decreas
ing relatively to the mentally and ply
sically feebler Stocks" The familie
were largest where the conditions o
life were least favorable, and smalles
where the opportunities for health,
growth were ample. The London Fa
bian Society made a careful inqulr
into the same subject and reporte,
that, while the rich boroughs Of Lon
don showed for a given year 200
births per 10000 Of population, the in
termediate boroughs showed rates be
tween 1852 and 2,490, while the poores
boroughs had rate Of 3,07S, or so pc
cent more than in the rich quarter.
Professor Ross puts the cart before tn
horse when he assumes that restrlt
ton will give us healthier and bette
offspring, and that economic pressur
Is responsible for 1t. He forgets t
ask where the restriction is practice
as a rule.
