OLD DOMINION.

President Smith has returned to Boston from his visit of inspection to the old Dominion properties, and con firms the reports of the remarkable strikes of ore on the 14th level. Al the time that Mir. Smith was there they were in 70 feet on the second cross-cut, and the entire body of vein matter. without any selection whatev- CT, will run 10 per cent copper. The best part of it is that the vein is rich est at the bottom At No. 2 crosscut, 100 feet further along, they are in but a short distance, but the vein shows up here even better Drifts connect ing the cross-cuts are being run and will soon be, completed, which will do much to improve the ventilation. The next move in the development will be to sink winze to the 18th level cross cut to the vein. and to up-raise to the shaft.
 At the shelter focr furnaces are ir commission, though one is not in the best of condition, and will probably have to be blown cut for repairs A fifth furnace. however, should be ready by June 1st. and the2 management are considering the advisability of building a sixth.

great time-savers. Thirty-seyen such machines were in use in the city of Chicago in last weeks election and the work is very pertinently described in the Kansas City Journal which says that an interesting feature in connec- ton with the recent municipal election in Chicago was the trial of voting ma chimes in every ward of the city. Only thirty-seven machines were used, but they were so distributed in all the wards that the test of their efficiency might be thorough Although the yot- CTS and those in control of the balot- ing were unfamiliar with the practical working of these machines, the result of the experiment. was remarkably sat isfactory and there is every probabili- ty that this method of recording votes will be adopted generally by the city. It is stated that within two minutes after the judges had declared the thir- ty-seven precincts closed where the machines were in operation precinct captains were on their way to head quarters with the returns.
 Although we lay so much stress on the exercise of the electoral franchise in this country, cur methods of record irg ballots is complex and cumber' some. Esarsy every state has a diff terent system from the other, and Ho single system is satisfactory. The Australian system is in vogue with various notifications in many states, but this is not a sufficient improve ment upon the more primitive meth ods. The element of simplicity is of first consideration after that of hon. esty. which. of course, is fundamental.
 If machine voting will solve the difficulties now involving the exercise of the franchise it will be boon to our citizenship. Many men stay away l from the polls on election day merely because of the confusion and delay in- cident to the prevalent methods of tallotiDg. Tn Chicago 1t wac found that the speed of recording the votes was unprecedented, and as the ma chimes recorded the totals automati- calIy it was only a matter of recording these figures to obtain final results. Certainly the voting machine appears to be long step forward in simplify ing elections and it's universal adop l ton seems certain.

BIsBEE SITUATION.
(Globe Silver Belt


 A strike has been called by the Western Federation of Miners at Bis bee today of all men working for the mining companies in the Warren dis trict on the ground that the companies operating there were unfair" It is unfortunate that a successful. mining district such as the Warren district should be embroiled in labor troubles at a time when wages are higher than they have ever been for every class of labor. It is an unfortunate thing for the business of the city and it is un- fortunate for the union, the officials of which declared when they established headquarters in Bisbee that there would be no attempt to create strife between the companies and the men; that while they were there to stay, their intentions were wholly peaceabIe.
 While the Phelps-Dodge company has always been strongly prejudiced against uniOnism, they cannot be ac- cused of illtreatment of the many men in their employ, as has been shown in the voluntary increases in wages they have made from time to time.
 There is little or no chance for the Federation to win the strike in the Warren district, because public Opin- ion is against them, and with the strength of the operating companies combined with the business interests of Bisbee and the surrounding camps, it is futile for the Federation to take such a radical step at this time. It can only result in a failure for them, which will show up their weakness in that camp, for if all reports are true, the big companies of Bisbee have been gradually weeding out the union men during the past few weeks and these men have left for other fields. Even with this, if the Federation had the support of the other people in the camp, which they have not. there would be a fighting chance for them to win out.
 If it is true. as the Bisbee Review says, that the chief organizer of the Federation in the camp is strongly opposed to the strike, or was, then it is more unfortunate. for it shows that the hot-heads have gained control of the situation, as far as the Federation is concerned.

THRIFTY AND

Some thousands of Italian immI- grants have gone into the southern states during the last few years, to take the places of negroes on the cot ton plantations, and great deal has been said, pro and con, in the news. papers, especially in the northern states, about the advisability of such a course on the part of the southern people It is generally alleged that the negroes are better adapted to the work to be done than any class of for eigners that may come to Us, and that at the same time they are more peace able. dociie. and law abiding than the average white immigrant. But a prominent Italian citizen of New York takes exception to this claim, and con- tradicts it fatly. While admitting that considerable number of the Italians who have come to this country are an archists, and not the class of people to make good citizens, he shows that those of this class who come here al most to a man drift into the slums of the big cities, and that those who come expecting 10 take employment as farm | laboreTs are a different class of peo- pie entirely, and that while they are 1 ignorant in the sense that they are not able to read and write. he main tains that they are trained and eff cient workmen in the useful arts, es- pecially in the art of farming. He shows that Italy, with an area of 1lO.- GOO square miles-or only a little more | than two thirds as large as this terri tory-suppoTts a population of thirty two million despite the fact that a great portion of this land is mountain side and sandy plain and not naturally productive. He cites those examples of the wonderful thrift and skill of the Italian small farmer where he has actually carried soil from the plains to the bare rocky plateaus of the mountains and made them productive
 He quotes King and Okey in their
 history of Italy of Today" to the eff. feet that the Italians of Brazil, num- bering 1906, 900, have been one of the most potent factors in the develop ment of that country. lie shows Ihat Italians form the bulk of engineers. mfllers, soap and paper makers, hat and tobacco manufacturers and cement and marble manufacturers of that country. That an Italian has been president of that country and two Itai- ians are now in the Brazilian cabinet.
 In Bushnee's 'Ethnic Factors in the Population of Boston" the statement is made: "A careful study of the sta tistics relating to our native and for eign born population, which gives the number of paupers in our almshouses in the city of Boston by place of birth, shows that the percentage of Italians is less than any other race, whether native or foreign born. except the He brew"

Word comes from New Mexico that the contest of the congressional cleo ton in that territory has proceeded far enough already to show beyond doubt that LarazzoIa, the democratic candidate, was elected last fall. It is not likely, however, that he will be able to get action on his contest in congress before the session for which he was elected has expired. But the disclosures which are being made will make New Mexico sure ground for the democrats in 1908.

A Detroit news item tells us thai while a Canada Southern immigrant train was speeding on it's way to Wind sor the other morning a baby was bOEn to Mrs. Mary Rosenbaym, a Russian Jewish immigrant, on her way to the United States. The proud mother was anxious that the child be born in the United States, the land of her adoption and the engineer put on full speed at her request: but the stork took mat ters into his own hands, and the youngest member of the Rosenbaum family will have to claim the Domin- ion of Canada as the land of his na- tivity. though he missed being born under the stars and stripes by only a few hours. The little mite of humani- ty came into the world near Tilton- c,,zy, Ontario One of the railway sur geons had been notified in advance, snd remained with the mother and her child until the train arrived at Wind sor.
