The University Graft

Mr.. Editor; l notice by the
papers that Principal Campbell and
other unwise friends OF the Oregon
university are beginning to put the
machinery in motion to secure the
vote Of the state for that enormous
annual appropriation Of sI2S, 900.
The superlative gall of these
people after trying TO destroy the
referendum and putting the country
to such needless expense aud
trouble by attempting TO thwart the
will OF the voters on a mere techni-
cali,y stands without parallel in the
history of impudence, The people
who carried round the petitions
asking that referendum vote OH
that monstrous graft for the uni
versity are not likely to forget the
contemplate tactics the beneficial
ries of that institution resorted to to
nullify their labors and deprive the
people of their rights and privileges.
And they now called up the oranges
and those who signed the petitions
to complete the work they began TO
stand by their colors and teach Mr..
Campbell and his other wirepullers
that they cannot bull doze the indie
pendent taxpayers into doing what
they do not believe IN. The people
are deeply indebted to the supreme
court Of Oregon for standing by
their rights and teaching certain
pettifoggers, misscalled judges, that
their knowledge of law and sense OF
justice are about equal to their love
for the taxpayers. Let us show
that we appreciate the efforts of our
friends and workers by going to the
polls and rolling up such a majority
against this barefaced graft as will
open wide the eyes Of Judge { p
Galloway and other time servers
like him. Yours truly,
j. III. Fletcher.

Brother AndersOn's Farewell.

A number of the K. of P. mem.
bers of Holmes lodge met Sunday
morning and Brother Anderson,
who, unfortunately lost his sigh,
several months ago, and who has
been dependent upon the K. of p.
and Odd Fellows lodges of St.
Johns and Portland since, was
brought over for a farewell visit by
one of the brother knights. The
brother was very grateful to the
lodges for their kindness to him,
particularly for their strenuous ef-
forts in his behalf in securing rec
ognition for his claims upon his
home lodge, which was disposed
to take advantage Of technical
point but were prevailed upon to
waive it and Mr.. Anderson will be
placed in the Odd Fellows home
in his home state, Michigan. He
goes from here to Utah to visit
some friends through the kindness
of the lodges here before going to
the home, and was supplied with
several hundred smokers to cheer
him on his way.
Such work on the part Of the X.
of p. and /. q. o. L. lodges will
commend them to those who have
little ones dependent upon them,
when they will be assured that
their brothers will stand by them
in adversely, and it is the keenest
incentive for a member to do his
full duty, for he does not know
when he may become the object of
his brothers kindness. The X.
p. boys voted a fine Christmas tur-
key for Mrs. Knutson at 275 North
2Ist street, Portland, who has been
taking care Of Brother Anderson,
as token Of their appreciation Of
her kindness to our brother, and
the bird was sent to Mrs. Ander-
son in time to celebrate Christmas
with.

SAYS H W DIDN'T SAY IT

The trouble started by Charles M.
Schwab when he began to get himself
interviewed lis not yet over. They are
talking about it in the east. Oliver
Wren, Schwab's who was here
only a short time ago, is in New York
and was there interviewed by the corre-
spondent of the Pittsbuig Gazette, flom
which the following is taken:
rne report has been w;c~ly eli -ulatc1
from San Francisco that Charles NJ.
Schwab, while recently on the coast.
made certain adverse criticisms of Me-
vada and the men who introduced Me-
vada mines in the east. You corre-
spondent is authorized TO deny the re-
port as ~unfounded by oliver Wren, who
has been the manager of Mr.. Schwab's
affairs for years. In the absence of his
principal from his Office. Mr.. Wren said.
Whatever foundation there is In the
report is contained in a chance remark
which Mr.. Schwab made to the effect
that ii was a pity that the hopes which
we have had for our mines and the
promises we nave made to our friends
concerning them nave not yet come to
fruition. That our hopes have been
slower in being realized than we ex-
pected is no fault of the mines not the
engineers on whose reports they were
purchased. But Mr.. Schwab's remark
was twisted into a meaning entirely for
eign to his thought and was interpreted
to mean a charge of misrepresentation
on the part of those who recommended
their purchase.

UNITED MINING COMPANY
CUTS ZIG LEDGE or ENC

A new and important strike has been
made in the tunnel which the Nevada
United Mining company is running at
Coppereid. 1t is the cutting Of a good
sized body of zinc ore at LOO feet from
the mouth of the tunnel and 500 feet
vertical depth.
The extent of this body Of zinc ore
had not been determined when Manager
Reid returned from the mine Wednes-
day. but the zine ore If being blown out
in chunks that would weigh several
hundred pounds. 1t carries an excep-
tionally high percentage of zinc. being
estimated to go at least so per cent.
The finding of this zinc is considered
a good sign by the management of this
property. for zinc is commonly assoc
ciated with large bodies of copper. Mr..
Reid does not expect to reach the body
of copper for some distance yet. and Is
highly delighted with the appearance of
zinc at this time. With drills and pow
der the big tunnel of the Nevada United
mpa is being driven into the noun

work will reach the copper zone which

mr.. Schwab's relation with both
Donald B. Gillies and Malcolm l.. Mac
donald are most cordial and he is great
~ panied to hear that any one has SO
contorted his statement to make 1t APP
pear a criticism of either one of these
gentlemen.
"And why should Mr.. Schwab express
any dissatisfaction with the market

prospective values OF other properties
which is immense.
He has put his money into the Sho-

1t on a productive basis has been met

point where 1t should give a good report

shape and we are assured of a steady

Mr.. Wren expressed the utmost salts
faction that the company was secure in
respect to power. which has been one of
the greatest difficulties to overcome and
about which some apprehension had
been felt in regard to the plant of the
power company being tied up by b
strikes During the trip which Mr..
Wren has just made to evada he in
spected the Shoshone mill and both the
Schwab mines. He made a personal in
v~estigation Of the labor situation of the
power company and found all danger of

thing of the past.

CoNuDExABLE ACTIVITY
IN OLD PLACER DI00xN0S

C. f. Rich. who is operating quite ex-
tensively in the Rabbit Hole country
north of Rosebud. was in I.ovelock the
early part of This week on a combined
business and pleasure trip
When seen by a Tribune representa-
tive Mr.. Rich stated that the old placer
diggings was experiencing quite a boom
at the present time and that a vast
amount of development work was being
done both on the placer and lode claims.
Mr.. Rich and associates nave been
doing considerable work on a group of
quartz claims near the placer beds n
our informant stated that a ledge meas
uring four feet in width and CARRYING
encouraging values had been uncovered
at a depth of a few feet. The owners
intend to sink a deep shaft and are con-
fdent that with proper development
they will encounter something sensa-
tional.
The Placerotis which owns
a large area of placer ground. has a
number of men at work and some ex-
tremely rich finds are being recorded.
This company is making preparations to
install keystone drills and other ma
chinery necessary for making a thor
ough test of the gravel.
Mr.. Rich is very enthusiastic over the
present showing in the Rabbit Hole
country and is confident that In time 1t
will again rank as one of Nevada's great
gold producing sections.-Lovelock

the new hosting plant is in operation.
However, with the heavy shipments that
have been made, there seems scarcely
an impression made in the big pile Of

main wagon road, where the large teams
can load readily.

company to ship everything but the low

has been set in place on its foundation,
and all is in readiness for starting up
the big plant as soon as some minor
supplies have been received from the
railroad, where they rave been blocked

An engine house and new machine shop
have been erected at the main shaft,
being constructed of corrugated iron.
1t Is expected to have the big hoist
in operation by the first of next week at
the latest. When this is accomplished
the real season of activity on the Crack
erjack Bonanza will begin. Manager
Gates says that two shifts will be en-
ployed Immediately on all underground
work, and as soon as the work is well
under way, a third shift of miners will
be placed at work. 1t is his intention to
push all underground work as rapidly
as possible. With this large force In
the employ of Bonanza mountains par
ent and the smaller forces
employed by the several leasers and
newer companies, 1t will look like real
boom times at Bonanza, and the new
camp will soon outgrow its present sur
roundings and change the rows of rag"
houses and shacks for more pretentious
and substantial structures. For the in
