talking out of his mouth He is totally lack
ing in diplomacy, common courtesy and even
everyday politeness, and for these reasons
he appears to the general public as vulgar
bully. He could have read Mayor Moore
just as severe lecture couched In respect

AS has already been intimated in these col
umns the man that Gill attacked is open to
criticism and if common reports be true, Hi
Gill is equally culpable. Nobody but coarse,
vulgar brute would use as unbecoming lam
guage about fellow officer as did that the
morning paper reported Gill using about the
mayor. If Gill can prove what he said about
the mayor, then it his duty as a councilman
Of the City Of Seattle to introduce impeach
ment proceedings against the mayor at once.

Senator Levi Ankeny has formally an
nounced his candidacy to succeed himself
as United States senator and the anti-An-
kenyites are beginning to dust up their glad
rags" with the view of making the old man
look like thirty cents with hole in it after
he will have finished the battle at the direct
primary next year. In the past Ankeny
may have been defeated without mercy and
that too with him spending million dollars
in the attempt to succeed but it will be moth
ing in comparison to what the opposition will
do to him with the direct primary ballot in
their hands The old colored man that was
paid large sum of money to stay all night
in haunted house took up the task at dark
and until midnight sat reading his bible fear
ing not the visitations of the dead but as
the hands Of the clock pointed to twelve the
mystery" appeared and it was but mo-
ment before the old man was going at gate
that would have defeated Jay Eye See.
Down through the timbers he went until he
was thoroughly exhausted and he sat him
self down to rest, but as he did so the ghost
stood by his side and as he sat and looked
pleadingly up into the face Of the apparition,
it said to him: eve have had long chase :"
But, honey, it's nothing to what we's gwine
to have" If Senator Ankeny thinks that
he had long chase prior to his election to
the United States senate, the Pie-maker takes
pleasure in saying to him, it is nothing to
what he is going to have.
The editor of the Times accuses the editor
of the Post -Intelligencer of using language
about the editor of the Times that was not
only lacking in journalistic courtesy, but
even coarse and vulgar and in reading the
editor of the Post -Intelligencer lecture on
journalistic courtesy the editor Of the Times
used language that Louisiana cornfeld mig
ger driver Of ante-bellum days would have
hung his head in shame on hearing repeated.
The double decker editorial in the Times last
Wednesday evening referring to the editor
of the Post Intelligencer was without excep

print in a newspaper and especially IN a great
daily paper as the Times claims itself to be.
If there is a brute in the great under world
that would have used such language toward
a fellow man in the columns of newspaper
he has not as yet been found but what the
editor of the Times will not do in the way Of
coarse, vulgar abuse has never been discov-
cred
The Insurgents in the Tenth senate are pre-
pairing to banquet State Senator r. w. Con-
don of Kitsap county over in Tacoma in the
very near future for the part he played in
the leadership in the last legislature and
only the true reformers will be invited to
partake of the feast and enjoy the hospitali-
ties Dick Condor made a successful leader
and his comrades do we'll to honor him for
the part he played, and in doing so the Pie
maker would not be surprised if they do not
lay plans for Dick to go to Congress instead
of return to the state senate. He is now IN
the First Congressional district and the Pie
maker is inclined to believe he has decided to
give the Hon. Will e. Humphrey chase for
his money for the nomination to succeed him
self 1t is barely possible that the Hon. Sam
H. Piles will not be invited to feast with the
boys.
Speaking about Senator Piles, he will be
home within the next few days to learn from
the colonel" and Murly Matt what Sin and
Satan have been doing against him since he
has been away from the state and if what
the Times has said along this line be a cri-
terion as to what they will repeat to the Sen
ator he will hear a tale of that will
make his very heart sick when he gets back.
The insurgents played particular havoc with
the Piles -Ankeny political machine last win
ter and it begins to look as if not only An
zeny, but even Piles will have to fight and
fight like the very devil to hold their own
in future contests OF course the senator has
come into the possession Of nearly a million
dollars since he went to Washington from the
Sullivan estate, he not only getting half of
the estate for winning it in the courts but
having bought the other half up for mere
song and dance, is in position to furnish
some sineWs of war.
'tThaw not guilty" flashed over the wires
Thursday morning and settled as far as the
courts are concerned one of the hardest
fought cases in the history Of New York
courts. While every true man objects to the
taking of human life, yet every true Ameri-
feel that there are times when the kill
ing of brute in human form subserves the
best interests of the whole race This ap-
pears to be one such instance That any hui
man being should be low as Stanford
White has been proven to have been is hard
to believe, but for any refined () educated
and intelligent man to have fallen so low is
past our comprehension. The verdict Of not
guilty will meet the appreciation Of all lovers
Of honor home and decency.

ore can be delivered directly to the mill
The location is most favorable one,
being just in the edge of the town, with
an ample supply Of water from Long
Gulch which can be supplied with all
the pressure desired. The plan they
have decided upon will be, first to con-
centrate the ore by running 1t over
vanners, to then employ pan amalga-
nation, and afterward run over cotter
tables 10 save by concentration what
ever values may remain 10 the tailings.
The plan will be the same as that which
they are now employing at the Addie
mill, except that the pan service will
be considerably greater. and that the
mill will have an ample supply of water
for the cotters, and will differ only from
other concentration and amalgamation
mills by a slight difference in the chem
icals used.
The company hopes to have the ma
chinery and material shipped in early
enough to have work begun on the mill
this fall and to have the mill completed
by early spring. In the meantime the
Addie mill will be kept running on
Potosi ore.

to H. 1t was a hot old game, played
with but little display OF skill and much
noise from the bleachers. The Dewey
nine however had five boys in their
team recently from college, where base
ball is popular sport, and they easily
outplayed the Silver City boys who
never had much practice. The Dewey
gang felt sporty and the Siverites were
willing to stand by their own boys, and
quite wad of money went away with
the Dewey crowd when they returned
home.

of the knockers who have been doing
so much TO down the company.

THE BANNER.

The upraise two compartment shaft,
connecting the tunnel level with the
upper drift in the Banner, was COM
pleted last week. The distance, when
measured, proved to be 3O2 feet, it
striking the extreme north end Of the
drift exactly whore the superintendent
counted upon. AS the distance from
this level to the surface is 85 feet, it
makes the depth 3S7 feetfrom the cross
cut tunnel to the groupings of the vein
on the surface. The shaft connecting
the Banner drift with the surface is
about 80 feet south of the shaft now
completed, but it makes perfect venti-
lation in all the present workings in the
mine. Stations have been cut, to start
levelsfrom the upraise shaft, both north
and south, so that hereafter they will
be known as numbers l, (the Banner
drift) 2, (next below 8, (the Webster
drift) aud A, (the tunnel leveD, thus
opening the mine, both north and south,
for extracting ore on four levels, with
good ventilation assured in both direc-
tions.
Until the mill is completed but little
further work will be done in develop
ment, as sufficient ore is now in sight,
ready for stopping, to keep the mill run
ming for a long time.
The boarding house is now completed
and was opened on the lst instant. A
good trail is being made, following the
line of the proposed tramway, from the
millsite to the boarding house for the
convenience of the men employed on
the mill construction.
Masons have arrived to begin work
upon the mill foundation and lumber
for the structure is beginning to arrive
and the manager hopes to have the
building enclosed by the time the ma
chinerY begins to arrive.

Camp Bird Mime
Potosi ore

A. P. Nugent, an experienced millman
for long time in the employ of the
Trade Dollar Co., at Dewey, year or
more ago located mining claim near
the head of north Sinker, about four
miles north from Silver City, aud upon
prospecting it found it so promising
that he took up both the north and
south extensions and also located three
other claims east and west of them,
constituting a group of six claims, lying
about one and half miles south of the
Homestake property and just over
divide from it. He has sunk prospect
holes along fully 1890 feet of the Camp
Bird ledge, proving the ledge to be con-
tinuous and to carry good values for at
least that distance in fact he found
that he could pick up ore enough from
the outcropings to justify putting up
small mill. This he proceeded to do,
and now has it nearly ready for running.
But local men who have examined the
ground, seeing its value, have induced
him to give them bond on the group,
fixing the price at s25,OOO the first pay
ment Of $1,000 to be made within 10
days. These parties have already ar
ranged to incorporate and to construct
a larger mill and will work the property
on larger plan. Mr.. Nugent has sus-
pended work on his little two stamp
mill awaiting the action af the parties.
Knowing the parties, but not atpresent
being at liberty to disclose their Names
Nugget is confident that the deal Will
be consummated.
This vein, showing on the surface for
fully 4,5OO feet, shows width OF two TO
three feet in granite and bears every
indication of being true fssure. 1t is
on direct line with the Poorman,
about two and half miles to the south
of it and the character of the ore very
similar. The parties holding the option
propose to keep not less than five men
at work developing the property dur
ing the present fall and coming winter,
and will plan for the construction OF a
mill next spring.

Labor Day Celebration.

About all that need be said about
the Labor Day celebration in Silver
City and DeLamar is that the day was a
perfect one, and that the miners and
their wives and children and all the
people in the towns turned out and en-
joyed it immensely There was dec
GRATED platform put up in front of the
courthouse from which the children,
drilled bv MISS Hastings, gave the
crowd assembled beautifully rendered
songs and exercises and the young
Skiddoo girls sang several pleasing
numbers with great credit, it all closing
with very appropriate and pleasing
address by Hon. Charles VI. Hays.
Then during the afternoon there was a
single handed drilling contest with first
and second prizes of 800 and $35 with
five entries, the first prize heing won by
Chas. S. Kingsley and the second by
James B. Law; there were mems and
bows and girls and childrens' foot races,
ladies nail driving contest and other
games and sports galore, all winding up
with rather tame hucking horse con
test. Space will not admit of our giving
the various prizes awarded and the
winners names further than to say
that Mrs. Anderson, the wife of Trade
Dollar miner, carried away the prize in
the ladies' nail driving contest, against
numero IS competitors for that honor.
The barrooms were all open during
the day and many barrels of beer were
consumed without any disturbances
occurring on the streets. But after
nighttall good many drunks also fell
or became quite boisterous.
The dance at night was very largely
attended, the proceeds of the tickets
sold being donated to the Miners Union
Hospital, which received somewhere in
the neighborhood of 5000, and the dance
was declared, by those who attended, tC

Thomas L Greenough, president OF
the Snowstorm Mining Co., says the
mill of the company is handling on an
average 1000 tons of ore per month.
The mine is producing as much as can
be handled at this time. Two hundred
men are working in the mine. A new
adit is being driven 500 TT. below No. 3
which will give an additional depth of
800 ft. on the vein. 1t will be fully
three months before the vein is reached
by the new adit. "The mine is good for
an age, and will be developed as fast as
possible" said Mr.. Greenough.
