THESE, then, are the things that we
are aiming for, and now do we e.
pect to get them? We expect to get
our freedom by having the right to
vote. / know that we have come to
a time In the United States when
there are a large number OF people
who do not believe that the mass
of men ought to vote. Nevertheless,
we as Negroes count ourselves with
those that still believe In democracy.
We believe that tne right to vote Is,
not for the purpose Of power primar-
'tly, but for the purpose o. individual
defence. We believe that there Is no
part OF the. community who are so
good and true and honest as to be en-
trusted with the destiny and control
OF the rest OF men. and that If by
any possibility there were such peo-
pie, II they could be found out and
put into power, that nevertheless
their necessary ignorance Of the de-
sire and feelings and aspirations of
their fellowmen would make 1t i'm
possible for them to protect these fell
lows as well as they could protect
Themselves, and in proof OF this we
appeal to all history We believe not
that every man should RUE, but that
every manz-,bIack or white, high and
low, should have power over the rul-

ELY COPPER ZONE.
Government Takes Notice Of Famous
Red Metal District.

The new copper district at Ely. Nev..
which promises TO become one OF the
lion OF the country was visited last sum-
mer by Mr. s. F. Emmons of the United
states Geological Survey. His purpose
was TO determine the area that should be
Included In a Typographical map that will
serve az a basis for the special geological
study OF the district. The Typographical
survey has since been completed, and II Is
hoped that II will be possible during the
coming season. when the mines shall be
actually working, to make an exhaustive
examination Of the geology and ore de-
posits OF the district. At the time OF Mr.
Emnons' visit, railroad i40 miles long
was building TO develop the district, and
large concentrating and smelling plants
were planned to treat the low grade dis
seminated copper ores in porphyry that
have been proved TO exist there In large
quantities.

While here he will dispose of many
propositions now under way.
A mill for the Tonopah Extension

time, and it has been generally un-
derstood that the construction of a
hundred stamps was a settled fact.
Now this is again a matter of eon-
lecture, and will be so until after
the return of Mr.. Gillies.
The mine was never in better
shape than it is at present. 1t is in
the regular ranks of shippers once

derground, bids fair to remain there
for many months to come.
Some Of the richest ore in the
camp is being broken down at the
present time on the north ledge from
the 200 level to the 600 from where
shipments are being made. The ledge
varies in width from ten TO thirty
feet, and the values run from $50 to
$4,000 a ton.
