WALHALLA, 8. O.:
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 13, 1907.
GOVERNOR OR SENATOR.

We sincerely hope that Governor
M. F. Ansel will not enter the race for
the United States Senatorship. Whe-
ther or not he might be successful in
the race, the fact of his entering the
cont ,st would deprive the State Of
one Of the best Governors we have
ever had. The State can i'll afford to
lose him from the Gubernatorial
chair just now. He has made good
start, and second term in the Office
would mean one of great usefulness
to the people. We say this, not be-
cause we would not like to see Mr..
Ansel don the Senatorial toga, but
because--we feel that he can better
serve the people of South Carolina as
Governor than as Senator. Then, too,
the contest for the Senatorship, while,
on the other hand, his services are
needed now to complete the good
work already begun as Governor. We
have watched with no small degree
Of interest for his promised decision
in the matter, and while we have
watched we have hoped that he will
decide to remain in the Gubernato-
rial chair. There is a peculiar de-
mand for him in that he can better
complete the work he has begun than
could a new man. Mr.. Ansel is need
ed for a second term. We can then
talk Of the Senatorial prospects.

other parts Of the country, in looking
in vain for remedy for the evil,
turns on the farmers of the South
with this:
1--WE must depend principally upon
cotton, which Europe will buy in
great quantities, and which runs into
money very fast, to overcome this
menace and turn the tide our way
That, in view Of such a public need
planters should hold cotton for mere
ly personal gain Is truly reprehensi-
Bile. We read that the banks gene
rally will keep them in the path of
duty by refusing to extend loans on
stored cotton"
"Truly reprehensible" are the far
mers Of the South for daring to hold
their cotton for a paying price. or, as
the Saturday Evening Post sees it,
for merely personal gain Grant
ing that the holding of cotton for a
better price caused the panic. would
the farmers be so particularly rep
rehensible' for holding it? Whose
cotton is it? Does it belong to Wall
street, and are the farmers holding
back something that belongs to 9TH

gain" before they turn it over to its
rightful owners? Did the Wall street
sharks plant 1t, work it, pick it, gin

reprehensible' farmers Of the South
take it from therN and hold it for
merely personal gain?
1t Is the same old cry that the Wall
street sharks and their cohorts have
ever made when the producer fails
to cringc and crawl at their fe t and
ask permission to dispose of their
products at whatever price the sharks
are disposed to offer. The fact Of
the matter is that the farmers Of the
South are just emerging from a con-
dition most truly reprehensible''-a
condition that permitted OF the pro-
ducer selling his product for what

Is the exact condition of affairs that

These "financiers" have met with

there is where the rub comes in.

CHANCE TO EASE
UP LAWSUITS
Litigation Hill of Manhattan
May See a Consolidation
of Interests.
WOULD PUT CAMP
AHEAD MANY YEARS
Utahns Are Interested in Many
of the Groups That Are
Now Involved.

If all present plans follow the trail
mapped out for them. there will be
created in the camp of Manhattan an
organization which will serve the com
mendable purpose of forcing that great
but unfortunate mining camp ahead
several years in the estimation of the
world, and in production way as
well. These plans look towards a con
solidation Of all the properties located
on what has become well known 10
Nevada history as Litigation Hill, n
portion of that camp extremely rich in
mineral md covered with conflicting
rights as dog is with Geas. Man
haitian has had many black eyes handed
her by adverse circumstances, but a
solution of the Litigation Hill Difficult
ties will withdraw every bit of the dis
colored blood that now dis6gures her
features.
Among the interests involved appears
the name of John A. Kirby, of Salt
Lake, he representing the Manhattan
Extension company, and several Salt
Lakers are interested in other groups
now within the lawsuit zone. The
plan rs TO organize n company to be
known as the Litigation Hill Consolid
ated Mining company, capitalized for
S5,000.000, 100000 shores to be APP
portioned among those interested, and
800, 900 shares reserved as treasury
stock 1t is thought that all concerned
look with favor upon the attempt 10
reconcile conflicting interests, and great
hope is entertained that a successful
elimination will be the result.
With litigation minimized in Man
haitian, and with the railroad that APP
parently is an assured fact, there will
he little lacking to make of this
splendid Nevada mining section one of
the foremost in Nevada Many com
panies there have improved the past
year or more of neglect on the part of
the world by digging deeply into their
possessions, thus exposing. large ton
ages of fine milling ore which will make
of the camp one Of the permanent and
most productive and liberal dividend
headquarters of that State. Salt Lake
has numerous interests there, and few
if any can be found who have bad
word 10 say about the camp.

UTAHN AT GREENWATER.
Roy Marks Meeting With Success in
Desert Mining Camps

Mr., S. r. Marks of this city has re
ceived n letter from his son, Roy, who
is operating in Greenwatcr and vicinI-
ty, which conveys news of the progress
which the young man is making out in
the country. He speaks we'll of the
whole region, his letter in part being
as follows: ''I was in Death valley
short time ago, and things look pret-
ty good over there. The people who are
interested in the Copper Brown and the
Copper Chief groups of claims have
built a mule trail over their holdings
and will commence active work on the
same as soon as possible. Our claims
these, being on the same ledge, as all
the lodges and dykes and veins run
North and South. You will find in
closed our last assay on rock from these
claims, showing values of $500 per
ton The vein from which these sam
pies came is from three TO four feet
wide. Rock like this will pay to ship
from Grennwater by freight team.
81 have been down TO Rhodeswell,
a new gold strike. and have located
four claims which have good copper
showing and which run well in gold
They are situated up in the old Conf
dcnce Wash, named after the old Con
fidence mine and mill owned by the
Mormon church | saw the old mine,
thirty years ago. From here | went
over to the other side of Death val
ley. but did not have sufficient time to
examine the ground there Leaving
here we went on to Sheepshead springs,
where we visited our Iron King and
Copper Maid groups. Here we took
some splendid specimens from our
claims, which we are having assayed.
From the examination which we were
-ble to ma kc at the time VIC are thor
oughly convinced that In these claims
we have located very valuable prop
crty:
~ have located a dozen or more
springs, all situated in one canyon The
present flow from these is about thirty
inches. But, of course, that will dimIn
ish in summer time, when we expect
it, TO be about ten inches. We have
developed these springs and have built
q road to them. 1t is our intention to
establish a station on the Daggett road,
along which freight is being hauled from
the Tonopah q Tidewater railway. With
the exception of our springs, there is
no water within eighteen miles; so
we believe that these springs will be
of great benefit to the men and teams
engaged on this highway. We have a
number of teams and wagons and Will
begin as soon as possible To haul water
TO our station Mr.. kimball, who oper-
ates the stage line here, has announced
his wish to make our station stopping
point. and doubtless the others will do
the same on account of the access 10

in this country. and by means of intel
lieent effort is can be made TO pay
handsome returns 10 owners OF claims.

MAY DAY SHUT DOWN.
Company Apparently Not Satisfied With
Contract With the Smelters.

A move that created considerable in
tcrest Saturday among the local mining
circles was that of the May Day Off
cials, by which the property WAS closed
down and the men employed laid off,
superintendent Eaken, it. is understood,
has been succeeded by Superintendent
Griggs of the Uncle Sam company
There are several reasons given for this
action OF the May Day company, al.
though one Official stated that the com
pany was awaiting the arrival of Presi-
dent John Dern from Los Angeles be-
fore work would he resumed again.
This same official denied that any
move was on foot 10 consolidate the
May Day and the Uncle Sam. or such
move as to cause the shutdown Of
the mine. 1t is stated by those who
stand in a position TO know best that
the May Day official family are not
satisfied with the present contract
which the company has with the smelt-
ers, and rather than give the ores to
the smelters at contract terms the
company prefers to remain idle. What
ever the reason, however, il is consid-
cred certain by those who are familiar
with the Ma" Day property, that de
vclopment work viii soon start. and
that a better contract with the smelter
will be secured
