INITIATIVE THINKING"
Ida TarbeII So Informs the Woman's
Municipal League.

NuHtclpaI League.
Could captains of industry-at least
the greedy ones-have listened to
Miss Ida Tarbells talk on intellectual
Integrity before the Womans NUM-
cipal League, they might have wish
ed that, instead Of doing many wick
ed things, they had INDUCED occa-
sionally in the pleasant acts of the
Samaritan.
The essential characteristics of in
tellectual integrity are spontaneous or
original thinking, AS distinguished
from initiative thinking" said Miss
Tarbel. ITO repeat the forms other
Elen worked out to fit their day-that
is, to repeat them without the modif-
cations they require to fit ones own
time-is to fall back on imitation and
to compromise the integrity Of ones
intellect.
Initiative thinking explains how
this country has been brought to it's
present political plight and CONNER
cial corruption. 1t is this indolent
acceptance of things which has kept
the intellectual class as a body silent
so long to class of evils which
have made democracy mean free
dom to rob and throttle one another"
Miss Tarbell spoke of self-interest
as foe to intellectual integrity Then
she dwelt on the weakness of our
educational system"
1--WE have colleges full of teachers
Of political economy" said she, who
explain the wealth of nations, but
who fail to see that it has rela-
ton to tariff which permits a steel
man to sell steel at $40 a ton to the
Canadian in Winnipeg and at $28 on
this side of the border. Personally
believe that the failure of these
teachers to point out the meaning
of contemporary practices is usually
dull schooling-the drawing of water
from cisterns of the past, not from
the living springs of to-day.
But suffering people, conscious
that somehow they are being wrong
ed by discrimination in favor of the
ew-discrimination obtained by brib-
cry and perjury and other law-break-
ing-loOk with suspicion on church
and college and call what is only in
teIlectual barrenness by the ugly
names Of hypocrisy and self-interest."
Miss Tarbell said that as class
those whose intellectual integrity was
blunted by self-interest felt no obliga-
tons to the public, and cited the rail
roads, street railways and gas com
panies as examples.
He who holds q franchise becomes
a public servant in a particular way"
she continued. "He is bound to make
good to the public. But what part
has the public in the thoughts Of the
consolidated gas companies of our
great cities? The highest prices;
the poorest service; the reputation
of taxes-these form their motto.
They do net take the public into ac-
count except when forced to do so by
periodical outbursts."
But because those dominated by
self-interest were mentally and moral
ly stupid. Miss Tarbell added they
would defeat their own purpose. She
said that a great life insurance com
pany was an example Of the down
fall that follows the sacrifice Of com
mon interests for personal ambitions.

ed. Although members OF the medical
profession refuse to take any interest
in the matter, 1t Is probably true, says
Suggestion, that many persons are
buried while in state Of suspended
animation. 1t is stated that in the
cemetery just outside the town Of Wei
mar there Is special provision made
against the danger Of premature burial
from suspended animation. No bodies
are placed in the ground until they
have spent considerable time in re-
ceivlng vault. In the fingers Of the
corpse are placed strings which com
munlcate with an alarm. The least
movement will ring a bell In an ad-
Joining chamber, where guardian Is
always on the watch. In several in
stances by this timely alarm persons
prematurely buried have been rescued.
1t Is said that the provision arose from
the tradition that one of the princes OF
Saxe-Wemar, this being their family
burial place. was buried alive.

buy his feet. was negotiating with
him when the dragon on which l was
riding slipped out Of his skin and left
me floating In midalr. While l was

Then l awoke and found that had

NEW IpEA AT YERINGroN.

1t is currently reported that the
Empire Nevada Copper company,
which some months ago secured quite
an acreage of copper ground across
the river from Yerington, and which
later on put a couple of drills into
operation, are being well paid for
their experiment, says the Y~erington
Times. While the company has moth
ing to give out regarding its opera
tions, it is continuing to sink hole
after hole through the wash on the
| surface of the ground. 1t is a fact
that copper sulphides have been en-
| countered in nearly every hole at a
depth of anywhere from eighty to
$50 feet, and some twenty or more
holes have been sunk. The character
of the ore is good and carries l to
or 6 per cent copper. The company
has a large area of this ground ant
is acquiring more territory whenever
the opportunity presents itself, which
is an indication that it is at least no
discouraged in its work.

wAucoBA MINING GROUP
New Claims With Extensive Surface
ShnMings

SnONlngS
The White Mountain range, south
of the pass, or comparative depres-
from that point to its southern
sion opposite Big Pine, has been gem
orally designated as the Inyo range,
breakaway three to four miles south
of the principal Cerro Gordo mines.
From that point northward to Pine
mountain, a distance of over eighty
five miles, on the eastern side there
exists a wide belt of limestone. 1t
comprises about all the local varie-
ties of that rock, from dense dolo-
mite to %porphyritic, and as shown
at a series of properties in Beveridge,
the Lead canyon country, Mazourke,
Waucoba, Antelope and Pine noun
tain, the zone Is charged with silver
ores of the highest grade. In many
places the white metal is found in
combination with lead and copper,
but in early days the known values
of the ores of Waucoba district were
in silver straight.
The Waucoba mining group is sit
uated about two miles south of the
Saline valley road, neal the summit
of the range and twelve to fifteen
miles east of Big Pine. The claims
now attracting attention are the
Buckhorn, Snowstorm, Neglected,
Mineral Palace, Iron King, Iron King
Extension, Village Belle, Miners
Dream, Joker. Bonanza Nos. l and
2, Eureka Nos. / and 2, and the
Mammoth.
:. The immediate formation is slate
and porphyry. The lodges trend IL
a northerly and southerly direction
: and dip to the east. The average
width of the Buckhorn ledge is from
! three to four feet in steel galena ore
, The Snowstorm is a strong, we'll min
eralized ledge from eight to twelv,
feet wide. Mineral Palace has sew
eral good lodges extending its entir
length. Bonanza Nos. l and 2 hav
a ledge over forty feet in width
which has two well-defined porphyr
walls. The Mammoth ledge is wei
named, being over 800 feet wide
solid body Of quartz, having a heav
porphyry wall on the west. TIL
lodges carry silver, copper, lead an
gold.
The claims are favorably situate
for mining operations, each bein
reached by a wagon road. Consit
cradle work has been done on mar
of the properties. The IN preseI
disadvantage is lack of water, 1t ha'
ing to be hauled from either b
Pine or from the springs. These al
