Local Cotton.

The local cotton market Saturday
ranged around the price paid the past
week. As high as 10 cents was paid
for some cotton, but very little was
sold for that price; $3.50 was the
price for mlddling, while the grade
was low and the price in most instan.
ces was lower than that.

The Annihilation of Distance

How much nearer to each other the
nations of the world are to-day than
they were few decades ago! When
weeks and months were required to
get news from across the ocean the old
world seemed to be a long way off.
Now the whole earth is belted with tel
egraph and cable lines, and yester-
days happenings in Europe, Asia,
Africa, South America, Australia and
the islands of the sea are read at this
mornings breakfast table. Distance
is annihilated and the nations are be-
coming friendly neighbors in conse-
quence. The marvellous change is
brought home to the mind most strik-
iugly upon reading a great modern
newspaper whose Geographic news
covers the whole world each day-a
paper such as The Chicago Record
Herald, which has veritable army
OF correspondents in every important
city. In addition to its own staff cor

THE PUBLIC OPPOSED.

The Milwaukee Sentinel, republican,
which under it's present editorial man
agment shove a commendable indie
pendent spirit, sturdily opposes the
ship subsidy scheme. An article In a
recent issue takes exception TO Presi-
dent Roosevelt's special message
urging the granting of subsidies to
lines plying between the United States
and South America, and the United
States and the orient, The Sentinel
says:
"rhe president sets forth the case for
subsidies In his usual vigorous die
tion. But his arguments will by no
means overcome the public rcpug-
nance TO the ship subsidy idea In
general, and SPECIFICALLY TO the notion
OF handing out public money to zen
courage" the already long established
and therefore presumably profitable
steamship lines owned by the Hill and
Hartman systems and the Spreckcls
interests.
''ln support Of the ship subsidy prin-
ciplo the president advances what
must--with all due respect-be termed
some curiously fallacious arguments
For instance: State aid to steamship
lines Is as much part Of the CONNER
cial system Of today as state employ
ment OF eonsuls TO promote business
"But what analogy Is there between
government salaries paid to public
officials and government gratuties or
bonnties paid TO private interests?
Moreover the functions OF consuls are
by no means confined to promoting
trade
President Rooseyelt's championship
of the subsidy idea will not be to his
honor,

ShnllSlnIIrp Mines.

Pick and Cad; Jack has been
struch at Irish Diggings' mine North
east of this city within the past week,
and it looks as though they would get
a good run.
The mill at the b, q c, is again in
active operation, and is turning out
large quantities Of high grade consen-
trates. The mine is looking better
with every shot, and from all appear
ance the mill will have a long run.
The Two mine, located on the Stubb's
land is producing some very fine jack,
and lots of it, This mine is owned by
Mineral Point parties, most Of whom
are also interested in the b. 81 G.

DEVELOPING THE MINES
j. III. Lewis Tells in The GaIena
Tribune of Mining CORPORATIONS.

The cry has gone up from certain
quarters that more money Is needed at
once to more fully develop the zinc
ore deposits of the field. The demand
is imperative but so long as we con-
tinue to organize and incorporate
along the lines we have followed for
more than a year we cannot expect
any great relief.
Let us illustrate the situation and
furnish one Of many similar examples
throughout the field and show just
cause why thousands of dollars are
kept out of the field. Several local
lights get together, lease a prospec-
tive mine site and proceed to drill.
Several holes are put down and
good results follow. 1t then becomes
necessary to develop mine. There
is not enough in the original share
bunch, so articles of Incorporation
are formed, a name is chosen for the
mine, charter is secured and the
capitalization is determined. Now in
this particular instance GO 900 shares
are agreed upon at the par value of
81 per share, of which the incorpora-
TORS allow themselves majority in
order as you may see that the control
is not lost. Up to this point we'll and
good. A certain number of shares
are reserved as treasury stock and a
block Of stock is offered the dear
public for development purposes and
the installation of power and ma
chinery.
How much of this stock offered to
the public is subscribed to by the or
iginal promoters? Do they expect the
public, the investor, TO step in with
it's good round dollars, swing the
whole proposition and then when the
mine begins to yield profit deliber-
ately stand by and see the party who
probably paid nothing for the lease,
thousand dollars or even double
that amount for drilling and hun
dred or better for charter, seal
and a book of certificates carry off
the majority Of the profits?
True we need money but do you
think the organization that gives no
genuine evidence of faith in its own
proposition is likely to inspire out
siders with enthusiasm in it and es-
pecially when they learn that some of
the promoters are locking for the
commission usually paid a broker for
the sale of stock?
