over year ago some said he would
not last three months, it is going en-
ii months now and he is still coming
and will come and in that short time
has worked up the largest practice in
Martinsburg. How has this been done?
BY fair honest dealing TO all. Because
he knows dentistry in all its branches,
because the people of Berkeley County
are finding out that they are not asked
two prices for sny work, because they
know what DR.. Stehley tells them
they can depend upon, because they
know DR.. Stehiey is an up to date all

Great interest is manifested in all
quarters as to the fate of the LIQUOR
bills. which, it is said, will be cons i'd
cred by the Judiciary committee OF the
house Tuesday.
Among these 10 the lseal option bill
the bill prohibiting the use Of screens
or other device by saloons, aid the bill
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of alcoholic drinks in any form.
1t is believed by well Informed men,
Der. of the house that all these bills
were reported faverabiy, - there has
been quiet but earnest effort all along
the line by those opposed TO liquor to
bring every influence to bear 10 cripple
the traffic in any way possible.
Temperance fights are no longer
made in Sunday school talks and by
street orstory,n said legislator yes
terday, 'but by accomplished lobby
lists who know the forces against them
aud fight them in their own way.
Since ike Anti-Ssloon League began
its work in West Virginia there has
been force behind the cause Of tenn
perance that was unknown before, and
the liquor men have found they have
something TO contend with.

Col. Forrest w Brown, of Charlestown
in association with battery of Balti-
more and Washington attorneys, has
been retained by Messrs. Robert Burton
and George A. Dubrouil, of Baltimore,
in a suit again.t SenatorElkins for half
a million said to be due the plaintiffs
on a contract. Burton and DuBreuil
claim that some time prior to the pur-
chase of the Western Maryl land Rail-
road from Baltimore city by the Fuller
syndicate they had an arrangement
with Senator Elkins whereby they
were to devise a plan that would
make Senator Elkins and associates
acquire control of that property 1t was
then ,as result of their efforts, that the
Fuller syndicate was formed and the
road bought. The plaintiffs allege
that Senator Elkins was the moving
spirit of the Fuller Syndicate, and
that, through the sale of the West Vir
ginia Central and Western Maryland
railroads he made millions of dollars.
After the railroad transactions were
closed, the plaintiffs allege, they made
demand for compensation, but Senator
Elkins refused to recognize the claim.
The suit was instituted about three
years ago.

L here is bill pending before the
state ~ stature providing iCr the
abolition of al ices noM allowed coun
ty officers. We are told that the pro-
posed bill only abclishes the fee bust
ness so far as tho receiving of fees is
concerned, that tLs funds instead of
going to the officers will so 10 state
and that The officers be paid salaries.
This seems a m5rs whipping around
the stump. AS the state government is
so arduously hunting more reven ue
we surmise that it is only a trick %
lay more burdens on the counties. If
the pselic is still to pay the fees it
makes ii,tle difference who gets the
money. If the fee system is 10 be abol-
ished We hail it with pleasure bu, we
cau see no sense in paying the fees to
the stste aud then paying taxes to pay

The Dem )grats in the state legiss-
tune could not have conferred the hon
or of this caucus nomination for nit
ed States Senator upon more worthy
or better man than John j. Cornwell.
Every inan who has no political ak to
grin,. and who is net blind partisan
cannot help noting the distinction be-
tween the two candidates voted for in
the joint session. Cornwell is of the
people, for the people and with the peo-
pie. BY true worth-honesty, morality:
ami q true desire for the welfare of the
great mass of the common people, he
has earned the confidence and respect
of the people, while Elkins is just the
opposite. Cold, harsh x Finding all who
come within his power, he has piled
up fortune estimated at more than
$50, 900 and still grasping for NOR.
he represents the class that is grinding
the necks of the people. Less than 8
year ago the Republican governor of
the state wrote Senator Tillman that
EIkins could not be relied upon to rep
resent the people in the railroad rate
legislation then pending in Congress.
The governor is not the only Repubii-
san in the state that thus regards Mr..
EIkins. The rank and file of the party
have the same opinion of him bus the
senator has SO entrenched himself, y
the power of his wealth, that none OF
his party dare oppose him. v LINT
AIN ays be thus?

and that the Secretary OF Senator
Lodge or Beveridge has been sent TO

OLD DOMINION WILL
 SINK ID 18TH LEVEL
Record of Development Work and Production Highly
 Satisfactory,

Globe-The record made by Old Dominion the past week in develop ment and production of copper has been very satisfactory. Most import ant, perhaps, is the work accomplish ed on the 14th level There has been a further enlargement of the big stope opened in the sulphide vein from No. 2 crosscut from which about two hun dred tons of high grade ore is being taken daily. The drift run in the vein for the purpose of giving better ventilation in crosscut No. 5 is com pleted and the driving of this cross cut, which is now forty feet in fine ore, will be resumed at once The main extraction drift has reached a point nearly ninety feet beyond No. 5 scrosscut and a station is being opened from this drift, near the line between blocks and g, where it is proposed to sink a two-compartment winZe 200 feet. from which to develop the great sulphide ore shoot at the 18th level. Sinking will soon begin and proceed rapidly with a complete electrical equipment. By August the first cross cut on the 16th level should be in sui- phide ore. B shaft is now well be low the tenth level and connection should be made at that level with A shaft about May l or sooD thereafter
 The Kiskey vein near the east line of the Old Dominion on the 10th level Is producing very desirable sulphide running about per cent copper, the entire drift being in ore of this grade. Development work is in. progress to open this vein OF the 11th.
 The smelter record for the first thfr- teen days Of April has been above re cent averages. Four furnaces have been in commission much of the time and the daily output of copper Is run ming over 400 bars. Coke is arriving more freely and the company has giy- en an order for 1 ,200 cars.

mlzPAH CAMP IN BONANZA.

Ely, Nev.-News of one of the great est strikes in the history of Nevada has been brought to this camp by K. D. MacLean, a civil engineer who has returned from the new camp of miz- pah. What Mir MacLean. claims to have been found in the camp will mean the foundation for another Gold field, and it is highly probable that ore the like of which was never before produced in that camp will be found in the Mizpah district, as all the strikes so far have been of an eyer-fhcreasing value and the ore bodies have con 'stantly been enlarged by the later workings.
 The find as reported Is on the Cop per Jack keclaim of the .Banigan & Ora dy group, now owned by the Mizpah Consolidated Co, and 1t Is claimed that at depth of 25 feet the assays show values of over s7000 in gold sil. yer and copper. The largest value is in the silver ore which in one grab as say ran as high as 1900 ounces.
 The company now has a large amount of shipping ore ready, and ex- poets to begin shipping this week from several of fts workings.

EASTERN MARKET IS
 STRONG--L0CALS DULL
Calumet & Arizona Was Strong Yesterday with Little
 Stock Offered
*1Bv Frank ]. .Graf. ]

The opening of the week does not show the market in any better condition than the close of Saturday. In fact, there is a tendency of still selling with little or no demand for stock. Calumet & Arizona shows bet ter strength today than it has for some time past. Superior & Pitts burg still continues to be weak, reach ing almost the low price of the year. North Butte and Coalition closed very weak Shattuck was offered at $32 with no bids and Denn was offer ed freely at the close at S9.00 per share. Warren and American are without bids East Butte is well sup ported at 5000. In the New York and Boston market there was con siderable liquidation, all stocks sell ing lower, especially coppers. Indus trials closed very weak, Greene Can anea being held around S15.T5 to S15.ST, but does not show any partic- ular strength at that figure, although there is little being offered. The mar ket as a whole is dead and would not be surprised to see it continiie for some time to come, although stocks bought at these figures will in time bring handsome profits.

 That Benson will move forward with a jump within the year, as con tended by this paper for the past few months, is an assured fact. This pa per has repeatedly held, in spIge oi all doubting Thomases, that a move ment looking toward the operation of the Benson smeiter would be on foot in April It is with a great deal of satisfaction that we announce the fact again.
 For some time past work oI ciear- ing all indebtedness on the smelter plant has been put forth with the re suit that today the property stands clear of any and all debts whatever. The owners, the Southwestern Smelt- ing Co, have disposed of and turned over all the holdings with clear ti tie to the Boston and Arizona Smelt- ing company, and is a matter of rec ord. The people composing the new company are among the wealthiest men of Biston and New York. men oi wide business reputation. The com pany is incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada, with a capiLal stock of $2,500 900, divided into 25, 000 shares of the par value of S100. There is no preferred stock.
