Assessment Work on claims.

Ii Is said to be on the program OF the
American Mining Congress, to meet at
Joplin, Missouri, in November, to in
troduce n resolution asking Congress to
so amend the present mining law re-
gardmg the performance of annual labor
on unpatened that if the claim owner
deslreshe may pay into the Government
Land Office SOC i'll cash instead OF per-
forming the 500 worth of work, or
making improvements to that extent,
The law requiring any annual labor
at all has for its purpose but one ob
Iect-that OF developing the mineral
resources OF the country, and my step
looking to a decrease OF the amount
OF labor required Is n step in the wrong
direction. How many claims without
Development are worth q thousand
dollar? Very few indeed, and many are
not worth that sum OF money with IL
great deal Of development. An unde-
veloped claim Is worth little to the
government, it is usually worth less to
the owner, then why not pass laws that
will and expedite the devel-
opment Of claims rather than 10 reduce
the annual Assessment work?
The State lave OF Nevada and an
IONA requiring work on new claims
within ninety days, MS n part OF the act
Of locating, are excellent laws, The
mining laws need many changes, but
they certainly do not require anything
in the direction We understand to be
proposed at the meeting OF this Mining
Congress i'll Standardization Min.

The confession being made at
Boise by Harry Orchard is shock
ing in the extreme but no one
can deny that most of the atroci-
ties were committed. The ques-
ton then arises, could man be
SO depraved as to commit such
deeds without provocation and
simply for the love of it and
could such a one escape punish
ment for so long a time unaided?
1t is easy to see how he could es-
cape if aided by the big union
leaders and it is easier to believe
the murders were planned cold
bloodedly than to think they
were due to the vagaries of a de-
PRAYED mind. It is greatly to be
hoped the responsibility for the
crimes may be located and the
guilty punished.

FRIDAY, JUNE IA, 1907.
HAVE WE ANY HERE?

Strange as it may seem there
are few communities that cannot
boast of at least one or two
knockers. These individuals
spend their time in throwing
cold water on every project
proposed to build up the town,
and knock every movement start
ed for the purpose of advancing
the best interests of the com
munity. Talk good roads and
they laugh at you. The town
needs better streets, but these
knockers frown at every effort
that would make the streets of
the town better. A water sys-
tenn is desired and admitted to
be a crying necessity but the
knocker looks cross whenever
the subject is mentioned and
if asked to support such a move
ment has an excuse that requires
his time elsewhere. 1t makes
no difference what it is, the
knocker knocks. It makes no
difference what is attempted to
be done he gets out his hammer
and lands a few times just to let
thepeople know that he is on
earth. He is knocker and he
wants the people to know it.
He is pessimistic, blue, disgruntl-
ed and unhappy and gets mad
because everybody else in the
community wears a smile and is
happy. Troy may or may not
have such citizens, but if any
town is thus cursed it ought to
invest in enought chloroform to
put the unfortunates out of their
misery. What a town needs is
boosters who boost and the
citizens who refuse to assist in
this necessary work ought to
move on. Be "a booster. Hurrah
for your town and look pleasant.
Do this for the very simple
that it will pay. Troy
News.

AND THEN HE ADVERTISED.

Once there was an absent
minded man who went into the
mercantile business. Without
saying a word about it to any
body he rented a building, fitted
it up in fine shape, and stocked
it with goods.
One day, as he was admiring
the result, a friend dropped in.
We'll, said the friend, you
have splendid store, but you
don't seem to have any custom
ers.
by GeorgeP exclaimed the
absent-minded man, slapping his
thigh. That's it! l knew
there was something lacking,
but / couldn't think what it
was!"

The Troy News hits the nail
squarely on the head when it
says the citizens of that place
would<be vastly more benefited
if, instead of raising several
hundred dollars for a celebration.
they would use the money to i'm
prove the roads leading into
Troy; but also says they can
have both the celebration and
the good roads. The same argu-
ment holds good in Cottonwood.
Aside from a water system there
is nothing our business men can
assist that will rebound more to
their credit and prosperity than
good roads. We have plenty of
them here that need fixing. Old
roads that need putting into
shape so that people can get to
town at all seasons of the year
without danger to life and limb;
new roads that want opening up
to give tributary country an op-
portunity to reach this place to
its products and secure
its supplies. Every road we
build or open is a monument to
our own pregressiveness and will
bring back to US a thousand fold
