Harqua HaIa Works Away

Good times prevail in Harqua Hala district
and since the slump in the copper market
there have been several representatives OF large
mining syndicates looking over the market
with view of getting control Of promising
gold properties" said r. ]. Bieck, superin-
tendent of the Harqua Hala mines.
Thirty stamps of the Harqua Hala mill are
now grinding day and night on ore from the
Golden Eagle and Old Bonanza mines, and
within the next two weeks the other ten
stamps will be pressed into service. Some i'm
portant discoveries have been made in the
Golden Eagle mine during the past few
months and the ore grows richer as depth Ii
gained The lower levels about 400 feet
in depth.
"About a month ago force Of men was
started cleaning out the workings or the Old
Bonanza mine winze was found. which Is
now being cleaned out in which there Is a
very good body of ore as far down as the Work
has progressed. AS soon as thorough exam
ination of the mine is made shaft VIII be
sunk 1t is possible that a new working smart
will be sunk from the surface, but this VIII
not be definitely determined until the Location
of tho ore bodies s established.
I'm the fall, winter and spring months the
weather is ideal in the Harqua Hala noun
tatns and there appear to be more prospec-
tors there this season than ever before, accord
ing to old residents of the district / attribute
this to the fact that there are number or
promising gold veins in the range, which is
great inducement to the prospectors and In
vestors to come to the place on account of
the copper fluctuations Of the past few
months"

'The Cananea mines will close down Mo-

with that end in view,' says DR.. L. ID. Rick
etts, general manager. The mines, smelters
concentrators and everything. with the possible
exception of one development shaft on the
Cananea and Duluth, will be put out Of com
mission on that date.
Everything win be done to take care Of the
men who are employed There are a great
many Mexicans working at the camp who will
be given positions elsewhere much as Is
possible. Many OF them will be sent to their
homes in the interior where they came from;
some will be put to work on the railroads be-
tween Nogales and Cananea, where the South
ern Pacific is building, and on the Southern
Pacific which is building east from Guaymas
toward Nacozari, and large number Will go
to Lower California, where they will be en-
ployed on railroads and In the mines. The
Americans are being discharged as gradually
possible, in order to give them chance to
return to the United States or seek employ
ment elsewhere"
Notwithstanding the low price at which
shares OF the Shannon Copper company are
selling, in common with the balance OF the
copper list, conditions at the mine were never
better.
The new furnace has been installed, and al
thou.l maximum production is not being
forced, the smelter is outputting at the rate
Of 100000 pounds per month.
The management believes that for some time
to come all excessive construction expendi-
lures have been completed and that from now
out the property will show ability to mine
its copper and land the same in New York at
an outside cost OF 11A cents per pound.
In connection with improvements in the OPP
Grating department, there has been a marked
betterment recently in the copper contents OF
the ore The concentrating ores have recently
improved from average of 25 per cent to
3.2 per cent. The smelling ores average ABOUT

SATURDAY, JULY q. 1907.
A Word for Judge Pritchard-


The rate law imbrogliO IN North Caro-
lima. involving. as it does questions of the
highest Importance, naturally has engen-
dered much bitterness Of feeling in that
State. Both the press and the public are
wrought up to a high pitch. and the real
merits OF the case are lost sight Of, TO
some extent, in the heated condemnation
OF the Federal courts action. Had the
issue been precipitated in any other State
that has enacted a 2-cent rate law, the
resulting conditions would have been pre-
Cjsely the same.
But while this state Of public feeling IS
perfectly natural, the display Of it outside
Of North Carolina is quite unnatural and
uncalled for. Important newspapers Of
the North, we regret TO note, are dis
cussing the case in anything but judicial
or judicious manner. Calling for his i'm
peachment. they would have US believe
that Judge Pritchard is unworthy of the
ermine he wears; that he is serving the
Southern Railway and not public inter-
ests, and that, in short, corporate in
terests put him on the bench TO do their
bidding All of which is wholly and
abominably untrue He may have gone
beyond Federal bounds in his rulings As
TO this We do not pretend TO say. II he
erred. a higher court ultimately will cor
rect the error. But we do say that Judge
fulness and hOnOr-at once discredits his
defamers and detractors.
Jeter c. Pritchard was never a corpora
ton lawyer as corporation lawyers are
to-day appraised. If he was at any time
really in the employ Of the Southern Rail
way, as is now charged il must have been
in minor capacity and for a brief period
only. Until his thirtieth year he was a
newspaper edltOr-not a lawyer. OF the
twenty years since he was licensed to
practice. thirteen have been spent in pub
lie life-nine In the United States Senate
and four on the bench. His political rise
was due to unusual conditions existing in
North Carolina in the early sos
As Senator, II not a brilliant debater
he at any rate commanded the respect of
his colleagues Of both parties and served
his State with marked credit and high
honor. President Roosevelt appointed him
10 place on the Supreme bench Of the
District OF Columbia. not because OF any
corporate influences behind him, but be-
cause he had faith in the man and be-
lieved that he would make a good judge
This faith was not misplaced. for the Dis
trict bench has had no member more
highly esteemed by the Washington bar
His decisions were uniformly sound. His
elevation to the United States district
bench by President Roosevelt, although
political in that It recognized one of the
most eminent of the younger Republicans
Of the South, was quite generally com
mended at the time for its obvious fitness
These facts, we may add, have no direct
bearing upon the case in point, but they
DO show the character Of the man so
heedlessly assailed AS we say, he may
have erred. but nevertheless his life and
public record at least enttIe him TO re-
spect and fair treatment.

Many municipalities in Europe are con-
stantly trying experiments in caring Tor
the peoples interests through civic regu-
lation, and some OF them seem TO be
going further in the direction Of benevo-
lent paternalism than the most ultra
socialistic of the antippdean cities In
Vienna, for instance, the local authorities
have bought out the principal funeral
companies and are assuming the RESPONSE
bility of doing the undertaking business
for the city. AS a part of the plan, the
municipality has introduced a system OF
burial insurance which not only covers
the cost of the grave and the funeral
expenses, but also provides for a suitable
monument over the last resting place CT
the deceased.
To carry out this advanced scheme the
Emperor Franz Josef Jubilee Life In
surance Company has been organized as
one OF the departments of the city gov
ernment. To secure funeral insurance the
citizen must be between eighteen and nifty
years OF age, in good health, and en-
ployed il a business that Is not too haz-
ardous. If the citizen dies within six
months Of becoming insured. the money
paid in by him is returned to his heirs, with
interest. and the policy is void. 1t is pro-
vided that, on payment of additional fees,
the graves will be kept in oder. and on
the feast of All Souls will be decorated
and Illuminated.
The problem of seeing to It that people
live right has always been difficult Wen
ma proposes TO see that her citizens die
right. and that pauper funerals shall be-
come unknown

Prohibition in Georgia

It is now beyond question that Georgia
will give complete prohibition OF the liq-
uor traffic a trial, for the prohibition
bill pending In the legislature is sure
to pass the lower house. as It has al
ready passed the senate, and Gov Hoke
Smith is pledged to sign the measure.
The passage Of the bill is another ex-
ample Of legislation by public hysterla.
as the extraordinary scenes in and about
the State capitol bear witness. It seems
almost incOnCeivable that the sober eIe-
ments of Georgia citizenship should be
convinced that prohibition will turn out
to be a success in that State. when 1t has
proved more or less Of a failure every
where else. particularly where there are
large centers Of population. Much has
been made of the fact that a large ma
j0rity OF the counties are now dry"
under local option, but the assumption
that prohibition prevails in fact as well
as in theory in those counties must be
accepted with some qualification. accord
ing to the Macon Telegraph, which says
that in eighty-two of them. where the
sale of liquor is supposed TO be estOpped
by law, the United States government
has issued 422 revenue licenses, showing.
according to the Telegraph. "at least that
many blind tigers The Telegraph as
serts that the evidence Of the sale OF
liquor IN dry counties is overwhelming,
and deduces from this that prohibition
does not prohibit. even In the rural
counties, where public sentiment is
strongly against the open saloon. II this
be the state of things in rural districts
under a local option law, what conditions
may be expected to arise In such cities
as Atlanta. Savannah. and Macon under
complete prohibition?
The extension Of the dry" area
throughout the South has been one Of
the most remarkable developments Of do
nestle social legislation. But it has pro-
ceeded hitherto along the lines of local
option, and even South Carolina. where
the dispensary system was experimental
with, has adopted the local option method
Of determining whether a dispensary shall
be established In any given county.
Georgia's departure from what has be-
come the recognized policy Of Southern
communities in dealing with the sale of
liquor viii be regarded with especial in
terest, for 1t is openly asserted by the
advocates OF prohibition that II 1t sue
ceeds in Georgia other Southern States
Will soon follow her example. Two-thirds
Of the towns and counties In the South
are now dry under the local option
system. II is the ambition Of the extreme
advocates OF temperance to make them
all dry under the State prohibition
system They have a herculean task be-
fore them. for the success of prohibition
depends not on the passage Of legisla-
ton, but on the enforcement of the law,
and on this side prohibition has scored its
greatest failures.

MEN AND THINGS.
Politics I'm Nnrthment.

Judging by the comments Of the larger
newspapers of the Northwestern coast
States, no 'reactionary' candidate for the
Republican Presidential nomination need
look for assistance from that quarter.
Especially does this statement apply TO
Oregon. Senator BOurne's friendship with
the President Is well known in that State,
and appears to be appreciated at It's true
value While Vice President Fairbanks
was In the Northwest the newspaper
which, through both it's editorial columns
and its special Washington correspond
ence, has been particularly friendly TO Mr..
Bourne, said that Senator Knox could not
possibly be nominated, and that his sf-
fiiiations were such as to make It impos-
sible for the President to expect from the
Pennsylvania, "any more than from Mr..
Fairbanks. a sincere and hearty support
OF the legislation which he advocates
The same paper had a few things TO say
about Senator Crane, OF Massachusetts,
when the recent story about the clash be-
tween that statesman and his colleague,
Senator Lodge, was sent all over the
country. Senator Crane was referred TO
as a 'pussy-footed politician" and II was
predicted that opposition from him 20 any
Of the administration policies or political
plans would only strengthen the Presi-
dent. 1t has been frequently said that
Mr.. Roosevelt was more popular on the
Pacific Coast. outside Of California, than
in any other section Of the Union. and the
facts related here would seem to prove
that this Is the case.
