Labor Day Proclamation.
To the People of the State OF

To the People of the State OF
Michigan:
The custom of observing Labor Day
has become firmly established In
in Michigan. In Difference to an en-
lghtened public sentiment and 10y
legislative enactment it has been
made legal holiday ia our state. 1t
should be celebrated as such by the
employer and the employ ed.
Now, therefor, |, Fred Nj. Warner
Governor of the State Of Michigan.
do hereby designate Monday, Sep
TENDER second, nineteen hundred
seven, as
LABOR DAY.
This DAYS celebration and Observ-
ance should be of such character
that it will impress upon the minds
of our people the debt they owe to
those who toll. 1t is in times OF
prosperity that this obligation is apt
To be forgotten and Labor Day will
not have served its purpose II 1t does
not leave us more appreciatiye OF the
service rendered by those upon whom
50 much depends. Every law appli-
cable to legal holidays should be en-
forced and obeyed. To do less than
that is not showing proper respect to
the men and women whom we honor
Labor Day.
State Departments at the Capitol
will be closed and State Institutions
will conform to the spirit OF this
proclamation as far as it is possible to
do so without deJriment TO the States
service.
In Witness Whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused
10 be affixed the Great Seal of the
49, State of Michigan, at the
SEAL. talitol in the city Of Lam
- sing, this fourteenth day
OF August, in the year Of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and
seven, and of the independence of the
Omitted States the one hundred aud

Mere Men.

A mans life is full of crosses and temptations.
 When he is little, the big girls kiss him; but when he is grown, the little girls kiss him.
 If he is poor, he is a bad man ager; if he is rich, he is dishonest
 If he needs credit, he can't get it; if he is prosperous, every one wants to do him a favor.
 If he's in politics, it's forpie; if he's out of politics, you can't place him and he's no good for his country
 If he does mt give to charity, he is stingy cuss; if he does it is for show.
 If he is actively religious, he is a hypoefit; if he takes no in terest in religion, he is a harden ed sinner.
 If he shows affection, he is a soft specimen; if he seems to care for no one, he is cold blooded
 If he dies young, there was a great future ahead of him; if he lives to an old age, he has missed his calling Life.

The Profits on Warehouse 10 the
 Farmers Union.

This week Bro. ". A. Cole. the Farmers Union Warehouse man. ager at Alma, sold ano ther lot of ,00O bales of cotton from the Alma warehouse at 10:50 all round. This is S5.G0 per bale more than the best price offered on the streets of Little Rock. Bro Cole also assisting the sale, at the same time, of 900 bales from the Union warehouse at Charles ton3 at the same price.
 Thus a Union sale has been eff fected by these brethren in Western Arkansas of 300 bales of cotton on which they saved, by holding in their warehouse, the sum of 8. co Ter bale ever what the cotton would have brought them on the street sale or S9.500 saved to the Union in the holding of this 900 bales of cotton.
 Bro. Cole sold block of 62O bales from the Alma warehouse some ninety days ago for which he got II cents, or an average of S7.O0 per bale more than could have been gotten on the streets at that time for the same cotton, or profit of S4, POO to the far mefs on the GOO bales.
 So we have this as an object lesson for our people. This little warehouse at Alma, we think did not cost more than S1, ,500, and yet on these two sales Bro. Cole has netted for the bre- thren a profit of S9, 100, or enough to pay for this little warehouse about seven times.
 Build warehouses. Yes, build them. They pay. We can't do without them. Yet fellows say: "I oppose the warehouse system Cause there's monopoly in it. " more of this kind of monopoly, if you please. Arkansas Tribune.

It Is Time to Learn,

Said well known business man to us the other day: Tt would not hurt to occasionally mention our business in the paper. It would help to fill up you know" Yes, we might do it, We haven't t the least idea on earth that it would hurt us, and it would, as he suggests, help us to fill up. We might do all this. but at the same time, thank God, We do not have to do all this unless we feel like it. It would not hurt him either, to come around and say:
 Give me column or half col umn of space for advertisement, and here is the money for it'' By doing this he would be a de serter to that grand army of deadheads who expect the news papers to continually note the i'm provements they make by giving them free puffs, and for which they never pay a cent. It is high time for all classes to learn that the newspaper is a business enterprise, the same as a dry goods store or a grocery, run for 8 living for it's owner. R ooneyille Democart.

The Farmers Union idea of warehouses for the storing of cotton for better prices is a prac- tial one; and if aided by the fur ther plan of raising plenty of bread and meat at home the con dition of the farming community is bound to improve.

Horses, mules, cattle hogs and feed stuffs have a market value and can be raised profitably in this country.

Struggles and Final Success-Now in Command
of the Diamondheld Mining District

In every mining camp one can meet
men who have in times past figured in
the limelight by reason of some special
exploit in their lives. In Goldfield you
will find the secretary of Gen. Cronje
of Boer war fame engaged in the pur-
suit of golden fleece, together with a
war correspondent of the London
Times who aided in his capture. You
will find in one gambling house a man
of clerical mien who for years filled a
pulpit in a Baptist church, but is now
dealing faro; again you will meet a dis
penser of liquid refreshments who is a
graduate of some college. Lawyers,
now miners; members of the nobility of
other lands who have engrafted them
selves upon the strenuous life of the
camp and in the consequent excitement
have forgotten their titles and are fast
earning new ones by reason of their
ability to float big deals in which mil
lions of dollars are invested. Again

THE RICHEST MINING
DISTRICT

Esmeralda county New, Of which
Goldheld Is the largest town, is pos
itively the richest gold mining county
yet discovered in the world.
For thirty years there has been an
unending success in gold, silver and
copper mining In Esmeralda county
Nevada.
Wherever ore veins have been found
and opened up during the past six
years the values obtained under Inn
proved mining methods have been so
phenomenal that It has made this dis
trict world-famous as a gold pro-
ducer.
There Is no good reason why any
honest mining company should not
succeed for its stockholders in this
district when paying ore has been
found
The mining property Of the Goldheid
Copper-Gold Mining company, or
ganized by Los Angeles capitalists,
consists of the Monument and Haw-
thorne mines near Hawthorne. the
county seat of Esmeralda county.
The Monument mine was discovered
on the site of the old abandoned Cory
mill. This mill was erected In the
early sos at an enormous cost by east
ern theorists as a public custom mil,
like smelter. to treat ores OF the
whole Hawthorne mining district by
teaching process. The scheme was
visionary and impracticable and re-
suited in failure. The mill was aban-
doned, but the ruins Of It, including a
seventy-foot chimney, still stand. In
1906 the Monument ore vein was dis
covered under the debris Under the
mining laws of Nevada the owner OF
the Monument mine, Dy right of dis
covery of the ore veins and legal de-
velopment work, acquires the valuable
remnant of brick, stone and timbers
Of the old Cory mill.
The Hawthorne or old Marigold mine
is located about six miles west OF
Hawthorne and about thirteen miles
from the railway station OF Thorne
on the Southern Pacific railroad. The
mine lies south of the Cory canyon
wagon road and Cory Canyon creek,
upon which an ample mill site may be
obtained with sufficient water running
continually through the year to op-
crate stamp mill. The Hawthorne
is a free-milling gold mine and may
be worked at good profit by the
erection of a small stamp mill on Cory
Canyon creek.
Free milling gold ore was taken out
Of this mine in a primitive way by
Mr.. Marigold, the original discoverer,
during his lifetime and carried down
burro trail and worked in Mexican
arastra.
The Monument mine has all the adj
vantages of cheap mining expenses and
Transportation, and since the richest
ore carries considerable lead the cost
of treatment would be merely nom
inal. and only S25 ore would pay a
good profit, while the fact Is that ore
may now be sacked and shipped which
will average $50 a ton.

were leaders of society in the cultured
east, rubbing elbow with rough looking
men, bidding for stocks on the ex-
change, or engaged in active mining
operations; girls that were reared in
the lap of luxury and who, in their
early youth, were surrounded with
every precaution, are here found in the
brokers' offices, and it can be said are
safer than they would be were they
still back in the turmoil of civiliza-
tion, for here a woman, a good woman,
is respected as nowhere else on the
old earth's surface.
Men of History
With the cosmopolitan population are
numbered hundreds of men who
have, in large measure, made the his
tory of the west, Nevada in particular,
and one in particular, Jack Davis, bet
ter known to the world as Diamond
field Jack" stands out prominently
because of his vast interests in the
mines and mining properties of Gold
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-17

That Jack was again right is proven
by the system adopted in the offices,
the taking on Of many new properties,
the Inauguration Of more active devei-
opment work at the different mines; in
short, the firm is one that possesses
all that goes to spell success, for with
Diamondfeld Jack attending to the
field work and Mr. Wheeler in the Of
fees, the affairs Of the company move
along az smoothly as the most exact
ing could wish
The firm Of Davis g. Wheeler has
lately taken on some great property in
the Manhattan, Round Mountain and
Wonder districts, the Daisy Wonder
being oversubscrlbed $4,000 shares
within two weeks after the company
was formed.
1t is not at all certain that another
block OF Daisy Wonder will be placed
upon the market, as there is sufficient
money at hand, It is thought, to de-
velop the property, and It is confidently
believed that Il will prove equally as
great a mine as the Nevada Wonder,
its next door neighbor.
Erecting office Building
The firm is now erecting three
story stone office building that will be
an ornament to the city, while giving
to the business the much needed room
for the prosecution of the great enter
prises in which It is engaged Space
forbids more extended mention Of the
unique character, Jack Davis, than
whom more generous, warm-hearted
man does not live. Hundreds can tes-
tify to his kindness; no one can come
to him in need and go away empty
handed. He delights an caring for
Gods unfortunates and many touching
stories are told of his care for those
upon whom the heavy hand Of sorrow
has fallen with crushing force. and still
today his hand is as quick and his eye
Just as true when It comes to handling
a gun as in the days gone by. He would
be Just as quick to resent an injury
or by force of arms defend friend and
withal he possesses the heart Of n lion.
Diamondfeld Jack bears the distinc-
ton of doing things in the open, and
those who have received attention
from his trusty 45 have done so while
facing It and not when their backs
were turned to one of the best all
round men that the west has ever pro-
duced. Davis & Wheeler promote
mines and not simply promotion
schemes and as they are distinctively
on the square their future success, and
it is sure to come, will be hailed with
pleasure by thousands who have here
tofore profited by reason Of fortunate
investments with this firm.

Every mans home is his castle and
in Rhyolite this holds good, no matter

Tents and Shacks
Tents and few shacks are scattered
all over the town. People walk in "the
middle Of the road" because the town
site people have been too busy pro-
Vlding other conveniences to make
sidewalks. Most of the houses are
built flush with where the sidewalk will

To look at 81 Simons' genial face one
would reasonably suppose that he was
one of the class with little to do but
enjoy life. He does enjoy life, but has
much to do, and does it. Mr.. Simons
has figured prominently in the devel-
opment of the Bullfrog district. And
as an assayer of note no man knows
better than he just how valuable the
ores of the district are.
Painstaking, reliable and always
prompt, it is little wonder that his
office has all the work that it can
handle. Unlike many assayers, in OPEN
ing an account with a prospector or
miner Mr.. Simons does not engross
the patrons name upon his books, but
gives to him a title known only to him
self, so that in the event that the book
were stolen or misplaced no one could
possibly learn of the values Of any
of the tests made by him.
Mr.. Simons is a member of the Rhyo-
lite club, popular with all, and if there
is a good fellow in the Bullfrog dis
trict that fellow is ST Simons.

Te Pat Mui, Chinese woman of
Hongkong, has received medal for
bravery displayed during the great ty-
phoon. She is the only woman who
has ever been decorated for signal
bravery in the history of the colony
and probably the only Chinese woman
who holds medal Of honor presented
by foreigners.
Te Pat Mui won the medal simply
through not losing her head when in
danger. She was ON the water front
when the storm broke, and she saw her
house swept away by the waves that
drove in from the outer harbog.
Instead OF joining the mad rush back
to the upper lands she stayed Just out
side the zone of the floating wTeckage
and busted herself pulling people Oft
floating roofs and directing them to
places Of refuge When most OF the
Chinese water dwelIers had fed TIE Pat
Mui was .noticed by the white, men
who were doing rescue work along the
HOngkong bund still busy directing
those of her race who came drifting In
to land where to go to get out Of reach
Of the waves.
