Speaking at the session of the National Conference of Charities and Correction at Richmond. Miss Kate Holiday Claghorn, statistician of the tenement house department, of New York, said, Tt is time that some sort of a critical pruning knife be ap- piled to the wild luxuriance of the statistical jungle outside of official boundaries Miss Claghorn urges cooperation along that line, and points out a few of the more Ob- vious pitfalls and difficulties of the social "statistician." It is not very long since 1t was necessary to urge the use of statistics and statistical methods in social work. It had to be pointed out that exact knowledge of conditions was needed to make such work effective and that this knowledge would not be drawn by deduction from abstract statements. But lately there has been a wonder full efflorescence of statistics in the more private or less organized branches of social work. Every question that is brought up. is now left for investigation by some com mittee or commission, which after laboring six months or a year, per- haps two years. produces its quota of tables, averages and percentages, to he stacked on library shelves, and later ground out as grist for some later research. The consequence is that to-day we are overwhelmed with a mass of so-called statistical, material which is entirely unco-or- dinated, and in many cases mis- leading. More care should be ex- ercised by this social statistician" who turns out figures which do little of 10 real good.

The friends of Governor Johnson appear to feel confident of his nom- ination at Denver, and although they may be over sanguine there is no doubt that over one-third of the del- egates to the convention will be un- instructed, besides those from Della ware, who have been instructed for Judge Gray, and the delegation from Minnesota. Senator Culberson is also being pushed to the front by enthusiastic friends, but whether Texas will be instructed for him, since he does not seek the honor, is uncertain.

The Banner mill has continued to run
smoothly for the past week, except for a
few hours stop one day, caused by the
breaking of belt pulley. The ore sent
down from the mine has somewhat i'm
proved, because the waste piled with the
ore in the drifts is getting out Of the way
and cleaner ore being sent down, increas-
ing the value of the concentrates and of
the bullion saved. The mill is now crush
ing more than 80 tons Of ore every day
Only the usual number of miners are now
employed in the mine, no furthur devel-
opment work having been yet started.
A survey has been made this week to
establish the line of the new top-of-the-
mill-level tunnel and work, with power
drills, will be begun on it as soon as the
compressor and machines arrive.

The Silver City NJ. @ M. Co.

The Silver City Mining and Milling
Company, Ltd, organized under the laws
Of Idaho, July 2, to take over the Abel
Berg group of claims, on the east side of
Florida mountain, has selected the follow
ing well known men as officers: L. S.
Honstead, PRESIDENT; J. H. Richards, vice
president; J. F. Cook, secretary; H. NJ.
Hand, treasurer. Mr.. Honstead, the
president, arrived here on Monday, the
group having been surveyed and plat
completed, for the purpose of going over
the ground with Mr.. Berg and locating a
tunnel site. A deal is under consideration
for the purchase Of the now idle Blaine
mill, with the Trade Dollar company, and
the manager Of the latter company is be-
ing consulted as to the location Of the tun-
mel. 1t is estimated that with tunnel Of
no great length the lead of ore can be cut
under the main developments made by
Mr. Berg, which win give ample ground
for a dump and at the same time be
within easy reach of the mill.
L. S. Honstead, after stay of three
days here, during which tunnelsite was
located with reference to a connection
with the Blaine mill, the purchase Of
which the company has agreed upon an
option price, left yesterday morning for
Boise. While here Honstead took sub
scriptions for upwards Of 10000 shares Of
the companys stock from local parties,
showing the confidence of our busines:
men and miners in this home enterprise
and in the property purchased by it. The
great success Of the two companies organ
lied here three years ago seems to have
inspired everybody with confidence in
the future of the camp.

BUILDING AN ARASTRA.

Louis Sorensen has about completed an
old style arastra, up at his Republic mine
and is about to begin grinding on a
quantity Of very rich ore which he had
taken out during the winter and spring,
from his Independence claim, further
north Men who have been up and
looked at his pile of ore, predict that his
little one horse arastra will show up great
results in very short time. Spectators
have been trying to get him to name a
price for his group Of claims among which
are the Republic and Neversweat, but he
invariably refers them to his co-owners in
these two claims, telling them that they
can readily deal with him after getting his
partners to name price. The group Of
claims, located on the southwest slope Of
War Eagle, has been noted for a good
many years for the rich ore found in them
as well as for the owners not being able
to agree upon naming a price for them.

Excellent progress is being made on

pans and settlers on the lower floor all
having been installed and work now be-

of the building ready for setting up the

The manager has been fortunate in the
selection of ground for the mill, the
foundation for which has all been quar-
ried out of solid granite, requiring no
walls to be constructed between the diff
ferent floors to make it a complete gravi-

Marcus White, the well known metal
urgist and mill man, has been employed
and now has charge Of placing and set

shaft The first one is in good orc the
width of the vein and the second 242 feet
is Of such good grade that it is being
assorted and sacked for shipment as
taken out. Both Nos. and drifts are
being pushed further south with machine
drills. Work is also continued on the
crosscut being run on the shafthouse
level west Of the mine, to connect with

DEMoCRAcY's BLUN0ER.

The nomination of Mr.. Bryan is phe-
nomenon that seems almost beyond COM
ment, says the Denver Post. The east
win have nothing Of him. The principal
leaders of the partydid not want him.
His standing as a presidential possibility
has not increased since his last defeat
And his third campaign on this new
Democratic platform seems to foreshadow
the disintegration of once great party
An organization that continues to draw
its political inspiration from the old south
and its economics from the eighteenth
century lacks the sanction of essential
facts in dealing with the problems Of to-
day, and the profession of faith an
nounced in the new platform is The
alteration of fallen idol. To demand
tariff reform, with an eventual tariff for
revenue only, is not an alluring possi-
bility for manufacturing notion that
pays the highest wages in the world;
while the anti-injunction" plank is
only more unetuous, ard not half as
sincere or attainable as that of the Re-
publican platform. However, the De-
mocracy has chosen its candidate and
its platform. and if they do not seem
to fit each other very we'll the Demo
cracy must do the best it can with
them. What the nation will do with
them is another matter.

wENNERSTEN NJ. CO.. Ltd.


Since the organization of the above
named company, which has taken over
group OF valuable mining claims on the
east side of Jacobs gulch and contiguous
to the Rich Gulch properties, Nugget has
made sufficient investigations of the prop
erty to become convinced of their merit.
There are some nine claims in the group,
some of which were formerly included in
the group formerly exploited by the now
defunct Little Rose NJ. Co., optioned to
the latter company by Andrew Wenner-
sten and others, which the Little Rose
company failed to take under their option
and which Mr. Wennersten eventually
turned over to the company now bearing
his name. All OF the group lies east and
north of the Rich Gulch company's prop
erty and covers the same lead OF rich gold
ore running through the Rich Gulch
ground on the west side of Jacobs gulch
and also an extension of the well known
NIollie Pitcher lead on the Noble and Sui
livan group adjoining it on the north.
The Wennersten company was organiz-
ed at the instance of ]. M. Morgan,
miner at Black Jack for the past three
years, and familiar with all the claims
the company holds Mr.. Morgan, raised
in London, went to that city a little more
than a year since and arranged with
brokers to take subscriptions for the
Little Rose company's stock, meeting
with such success that he returned with
such confidence that he could have put
the deal through, had not the company
failed here, that be at once got Wenner-
stem to form new company on a sounder
basis and let him try the same thing over.
The new company was organized, princi-
pally comprised of Trade Dollar miners
familiar with the character of the claims
and 80, 900 shares set aside for local sub
scribers and Mr.. Morgan made the COM
pany's general manager, with authority
to dispose Of the majority of the shares in
England, whittier he is to start next
week. But so popular has the undertak-
ing already become among the miners in
the Trade Dollar, an adjacent property,
that it is very likely that be will have
taken subscriptions for the $4,000 shares
allotted here before he leaves, as more
than half that amount has already been
taken, all Of them going to Trade Dollar
miners.

"Bittinger and Light" hurt Mr.. Lights
tender feelings and gave him pain
in his misery. LAS will be seen by his

article with the equanimity one would
expect of a philosopher and an ex-
perienced politician.

mony or some other matter O. money.
When he gets the damages he expects,
he will not have to do any more work,
but for the balance of his natural life
will sit in the shadow/of his own vine
and chinaberry tree and study polit-
ical economy.
We fear this Is giving him grounds
for more alimony. But we might AS
well be sued for sheep as a lamb.
