MANAGER OF rAC Old TOWN NAMES
SPLENDID SHOWING ron rHC
PAST YEAR.
MINES over A QUARTER MILLION
SHOWS RAPID CHANGE FROM PROS
PECT TO a PROFITABLE
PRODUCER.

General Manager George K. Kimball.
r., of the Old Town Consolidated Min
ing company has just issued his annual
report to the stock holders of that conf
pany, covering operations for the year
1906 in detail.
The report shows q highly satisfactory
volume of business for the year and q
substantial financial condition Of the

pany is practically . close corporation,
having less than hundred stock holders,
Mr.. Kimball has consented to the publi-
cation of the report in full, as he believes
with President Roosevelt, IAN honest
corporation can have no secrets'
Vast improvements were made at the
Old Town mine during the year, made
necessary on account Of the immense
amount Of development work under way.
All of the old ore bins were torn out and
new ones built over which the track was
raised twenty feet. A large Morton ore
washer has been installed which enables
the ore to be washed. screened and sort
ed, more particularly in the saving of
the copper contents, as iu concentrating
the latter, tests have proved that only
about so per cent. could be saved in
milling At the present high price price
for copper, this is a decided advantage
and will save the company thousands of
dollars.
An electric hoist was installed at the
1900 foot station aud is used for sink
ing the shaft from that point. Capaci.
Gus bins permit the material taken out
iu siu X ing to be stored at the l. 500 foot
level, from which the waste rock or ore
is hoisted to the surface by the regular
mine skip when the latter is not in use
at other points in the shaft.
Anew hoist for the surface plant, With
= capacity sufficient to enable hoistine
from the level of the Newhouse tunnel,
or 1000 feet on the pitch Of the vein has
been ordered. Three IS K. y. transform
ers have been ordered to handle the in
creased electric load, and are expected
tosrrive during the present month.
The development during the year in
cludes 100 feet of sinking on the main
shaft, which is now 500 feet deep; o32
fee, of crosscutting and drifting on veins
in the Old Town group; 900 feet OF
drifting on the main Old Town vein, and
I,s5q feet driven on the Hot Time lat
eral from the Newhouse tunnel. the
latter work is done by an auxiliary cor.
poration known as the Hot Time Trans
portation, Tunnel. Drainage, Mining and
Milling company, at a cost of fi5.72 per
foot, or a total Of f74,5I4.o7. There re-
mains to be driven on the Hot Time lat
eral 7,74o feet to reach a point directly
under the Old Town shaft, which latter

GUARANTEED STOMACH REMEDY.
l.. p. Van Nerden Will Refund
Money if Mi.o-na Fails to Cure.

You may ask why L. P. Van Werden
is able to guarantee Mi-o-na Stomach
Tablets cure when no other remedy for
stomach troubles is sold in this manner.
The reason for this is that ordinary
dyspepsia tablets merely digest the
food, while Mi-o-na builds up and
strengthens the digestive system so
that it soon begins to digest the food
itself without pain or distress.
If the stomach is only given a rest
by using digestive, the muscles soon
become weak, and it is necessary to
continue taking digestive tablet after
every meal. On the other hand, MILO
ma used before eating, strengthens the
stomach so that you will soon be we'll
enough to give up the use of medicine.
Mi-o-na costs but SOC box, and
makes positive and complete cures.
The best proof Of it's merits is the
guarantee to refund the money if it
does not cure that L. P. Van Werden
gives with every box.

The Springfield Republican, in dis
cussion of the possibilities of the future
destiny of the nations generally and Of
the United States in particular, wisely
urges that our government approach
the Hague peace conference with the
purpose of raising the question of
limitation of ornaments, in support of
the purpose of the British government
along the same line. Even the richest
of nations may begin sometime to feel
the financial strain of great navies when
one warship of the first class costs $10,-
100000 or more. There are European
powers which are likely to obstruct
partial disarmament in land forces and
favor only the limitation of the size of
navies, and the real test of English and
American sincerity will come on the
naval question, That some govern
ments are primarily concerned in armies
and others in navies may complicate
and embarrass the situation, but the
consideration of the subject, at all
events, is to be desired. 1t is possible,
however, that the rapid development of
airships is to affect this problem far
more than the conference at the Hague

STRANGE WAGE REDUCTION.

The owners Of the tin plate mill at
Greencastle have in the midst of our
Astounding prosperity and wage ad-
vances found it necessary to make a
reduction of 20 per cent in wages. Yet
the price of tin plate has advanced in
one year from $3.49 to $500 box of 100
pounds. During the same time foreign
tin plate has ranged between $3.50 and
$40 box. The industry is heavily
protected. Now, we do not say that
this reduction is not justifable or neces-
sary. On that subject we have no in
formation. All we desire to say is that
it is strange that this reduction should
come in protected industry when
wages are being raised all over the
country in unprotected industries,
such as the railroads, all of which are
heavily burdened by tariff taxes.-ln-

More miles of railroad were built in
the United States in 1906 than in any
previous year since 1SSS-all this, not
withstanding the Macedonian cry of a
year ago that state and national legis-
lation, such as was proposed and enact
ed, would put the corporations out of
business or so seriously cripple them
that further progress would be stopped
for years to come. This same bawling
cry is even now being heard from the
steamship interests which demand sub
sides or must die when, in truth, their
business was never so great and profit
able. 1t is not favoring legislation up
on which industries depend notably
those industries which either are in
combines or have ''gentlemen's under
standing relative to rates, territory
and the other incidents of trade.

HARMONY FOR 1908.

Postmaster General Cortelyou's res
ignation of the Craftsmanship of the
republican national committee without
giving the committee an opportunity to
name his successor indicates that
President Roosevelt is no more conf
dent of the support OF a majority of the
committee than OF the republican
membership in the senate.
1t is not easy to see, however, what
advantage President Roosevelt gains
by having his friend, Vice Chairman
Now, at the head of the committee at
this time, since there is little for it to
do before it's meeting next December
to elect chairman for the presidential
campaign.
But, in order to fight multiplying
enemies within his party, Mr.. Roose-
welt needs all the friends he can gather
around him, and conditions may arise
in which it will be better for him to
have friend at the head of the COM
mittee during the next eleven months
than a chairman devoted to other
interests.
1t will be interesting to observe the
course of the storm which Mr.. Cortel-
you's placing of New in control has
raised among republicans opposed to
the presidents plans for naming his
own successor, if not for entering the
field for third term.
Vice President Fairbanks, as an as
pirant for the presidency and an enemy
of New, can hardly be expected to ac-
cept the results of Mr.. Cortelyous
coup with complacency, and nobody
need be surprised if Foraker joins him
in a strenuous effort to get an early
meeting of the committee for the elect
ion of a different chairman.
If other republican possibilities for
the presidential nomination join in the
demand for an early meeting, we are
likely to see an exhibition of inverted
harmony that has not been on view
since Mr.. Roosevelt enlivened the pro
ceedings of the Philadelphia conven-
ton in 1900 and came out with the
nomination for the vice presidency
st. Louis Republic.
