Mine owners
HOLD Meeting

miners. Finally the trust headed by
the Guggenheims declared a ban on
all Nevada ores. Now ore TO the val
ne of millions of dollars is sacked,
tied up because OF the avarice of a
great corporation.
The truth of the matter is Nevada
ores are too rich for the trust 20
handle. They have made every effort
to control the market. and limit the
output and discourage the operators.
This failing they decided upon the
more drastic course with the result
that the mine owners of the state
have now rebelled. will erect their
own plants and henceforth will bid
defiance to the smelter kings of the
country
Last nights action means release
from bondage that has long held
Nevada in leash. 1t also means
much for Reno. for it is on the banks
of the Truckee river some place be-
tween this city and Clark's station
| that the proposed smelter and mills
are to be erected. Most of the power
will be developed on the river while
the coal and other fuel required for
the smeter will be within easy reach
on the main line of the railroad
Twelve months each year these en-
terprises will be open and employ
ment will be given to hundreds of
men, Their establishment here will
result in making Reno practically as
great city as either Butte or Den
yer. Not only this, but it will en-
courage the opening up of properties
in all sections of Nevada, assured as
they will be of place to dispose of
their product
Under the schedule of the trust
ores in Colorado are handled accord
ing to their assay value Ten-dollar
ore is treated at cost of 1915 per
ton, more than so per cent of the
total value. AS the value of the ore
Increases the cost of treatment is re-
duced. Thus, 500 ore is treated at
a cost of less than $40 per ton. Five
I hundred dollar ore is proportionately
lower. The difference in cost and
value must be paid the owners. For
this reason the trust finds it much
more profitable to handle $40 or $40
ore than 1t does ores of higher grade.
The money required for buying these
low grade ores will not only go fur
ther but will return the trust prac-
tically 100 per cent profit. 1t was
to avoid placing large sums of mon
ey out of their reach to allow them
more opportunity to secure the low
grade ores the trust placed its en-
barge upon Nevada's mineral pro-
duct Is is seldom that the produc-
ton of wealth is discouraged, but in
| this instance this was actually done.
1t is from this thraldom that the
mine owners last night discussed
means of freeing the state
Within twenty-four hours enough
money can be secured to insure the
carrying out of the plans discussed
and their ultimate completion means
the opening in this state of mills and
a smelter in every way as large as
those now controlled by the trust.

The fire alarm was sounded at
about ten o'clock Tuesday morn
day. An oil stove had taken fire
at the home of Mrs. VIM. B. Eas-
tin, near the bridge and emitted a
large volume of smoke which came
out of all the openings and made
the appearance serious, but prompt
assistance put out the fire with
very little damage.

1t has been whispered that Bob
Broussard is playing the game for
the nomination to the senate. We
credit our friend with too much
political Judgment for such
course. If Broussard intends TAX
ing any part in this campaign he
should do as his friends and ad-
mirers have done-take one side
or the other and let his choice be-
come a matter of record. There
are few men in Louisiana who are
as popular as Bob. Broussard and
who can command a more loyal
following, and it is these loyal
friends who see the mistake he is
making. If it is Mr.. Broussard's s
intention to declare for Mr.. Will
kiuson, that is a matter of his own
concern, but in assuming the po-
sition of trying to ride two horses
he is certainly injuring his future
political prospects. Broussard has

The excursion which was an
nounced from Port Barre to JEAN
nerette last Sunday did not take
place because the Company is said
to have been short of coaches and
could not get any to put on this
branch. This was a great disap-
pointment to a large number of
people who intended to make the
excursion. The people of this
branch road do not seem to be re-
ceiving the treatment they should
from the Company and their CON-
plants are getting to be more and
more numerous.

Mr.. j. Y. Sanders made a big
hit at his meeting last week at
Morgan City. That meeting was
a splendid success and the people
of St. Mary showed that they
were going to give strong sup
port to Mr.. Sanders. That was
naturally to be expected. He
should at least carry his own pa
rish by large majority. Mr..
Wilkinson is also campaigning but
he is not pushing his campaign as
vigorously as Mr.. Sanders. Gen.
Jastremskiis quiet up to this time,
not having started his campaign
yet. Though he has officially an
nounced his candidacy.

up of the normal schools and making

FAIR WORTH SEEING.
WILBUR n. THOMAS TELLS OF
HIS IMPRESSIONS.
Says West Virginia Exhibit Doesn't
Equal 8erkeiy County's Exhibit
at inMood.

The jamestown exposition has been
in full swing, officially, for some
time. People are turning their faces
toward it. But to evry one who returns
the question is put as to whether
things are really as some papers say
they are. Attorney Wilbur H. Thomas
recently returned from the exposition
and says of it,
1T is pretty we'll cleaned up on the
outside. The only work they are
doing is on the inside of the buildings.

missioner George NJ. Bowers exhibit
is one of the best on the grounds and
the building is constantly filled with
people. The different species of fish
attract people more than any other

THE West Virginia exhibition in
the States building does not compare
with Berkeley county's exhibit at the
Inwood fair, nothing being shown but
apples. Every other state exhibition
in that building far surpasses West
Virginia in every particular. 1t is in
charge of the vice president of the
Horticultural society, Mr. Moore
"The West Virginia coal tower is
about one-third completed. Taking
everything into consideration, the in
completeness Of the exhibition and all,
it is still worth ones time to see it."

Morgantown. June 17.-"No, I'm not
talking politics and haven't any
boom for the gubernatorial race, said
Auditor Scherr.
In fact all this talk about booms
reminds me OF one of Uncle Joe Can
mons story about those sooner dogs
out In Illinois. To some congressman
who were urging him to get busy
about booming his presidential pros.
poets. Speaker Cannon told OF breed
of hound pups in his 'deestrict' which
the boys had named sooner dogs.
Asked as To the Significance of the
name Uncle Joe replied that the pups
were so called because they made
such devil OF noise long before
they hit the trail, and the speaker
shifted aud snorted his dIsapprova OF
soonerism in politics. The auditor
tntimated that he was not OF the soon
err breed. had not yet hit the trail
and was not ready to make even a lit
tie bit of noise like candidate.
Wen. Mr. Scherr. II you have no
boom OF your own 60 talk about, what
of the others which have been launch.
ed? How about the boom for Judge
Mason, for instance?"
Now, young man. said the auditor
to the newspaper man In his most con
vincingly earnest manner, IF you or
anybody else can persuade Judge Ma
son to say that he will be candidate
or that he will accept the nomination,
you will be rendering a great big SER
vice to the republican party and to the
! state OF West Virginia know OF no
man in the state who would command
the entire confidence OF all republi-
cans to the same extent as would the
Judge. In character, dignity. ability,
knowledge of public affairs. Judge Ma
son Is the ideal of what governor OF
this state ought to be,
"But let me tell you this. II Judge
Mason has any idea OF making the
sacrifice OF personal inclination un-
doubtedly involved in allowing his
name to go before the convention. he
ought to say SO and he ought to say
1t soon. Nobody expects the judge to
make a scramble for the Office, nobody
wants him to do so. and there should
be no need of 1t; but it Is necessary
for him to say that he will consent to
be the republican candidate for gov.
ernor and to say 1t before more days
have passed
Yes, everything is getting on rea.
sonably we'll down at Charleston The
board OF public works has fixed up the
assessments OF the public utilities and
made a very respectable job OF 1t.
There is nothing doing at the Office
| except the usual routine, and by the
way, there is good bit of the same
old routine grind to be ground. Let me
tell you that the auditors office is no
sinecure. .~flv
No, | am not on my regular round
of the state institutions as some of
the papers seem to think. That does
not come until the end Of the fiscal
year in September. Some little matters
needed official attention and that is
the reason Of my visit to Morgantown.
There is no politics in 1t. When get
ready to hit the trail I'll let you boys
