h lease that is Just now occupying
their attention. The latter adjoins
the Hoodlum, which this week was
the scene of a big strike. The Last
Chance claim lies to the west Of them,
and Grutt hill to the south.
A shaft has been sunk to a depth
OF sixty-hve feet on the vein, the
surface values of which went from
IS to 1886 a ton, and the values are
getting better as the depth increases.
The principal owners are Reno and
Rawhide men, Frank X. Gowans. a
former well-known Reno business
man, being the secretary; o. A. See
man, one of the best-known mining
men throughout the country, is pres
ident; T. j.. Wilson is vice president,
and D. +. Murphy is treasurer.
The company has built an office
on the very top of the bluff, which
can be seen from all over the camp.
They have also a blacksmith shop
and bunk house, and that they are
going after the ore is evidenced by
the fact that they are working three
shifts right along.
Considerable development work
has been done on the west side OF
Rawhide the past week. The first
hoist in this part of the Regent dis
trict was installed on the Stinson
lease Of the Royal claim of the Royal
Tiger, and the first shipment of ore
from that section was sent out from
the Stinson lease.
The Royal-Tiger has now good
shipping ore on both the Royal and
Tiger claims. The Kirk lease on
the Tiger is sacking ore from thu
big strike that vas made there last
week, and they are sinking with tho
shaft down more than twenty feet
It is proposed to order a hoist for
the Kirk lease as soon as depth will
require IL, the way for getting il
machinery having been made easy by
the road that was cut for the hoist
on the Stinson.
The lease on the Rawhide Wonder
King Combination company is pro.
crossing finely on the Wonder Kins
claim, adjoining the Royal. Thii
lease is already sacking $50 and S7(
ore from the shaft, and there is hard
ly a place on the hill that will no

by the owners of the Stinson lease
and the ledge Of the Royal is run
ming into the ground. Values a.
high as $4,000 have been taken from
the lease of the Rawhide Wonde,
King Combination.
The Bushwhacker is another OF the

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Names Resources.


In a report made today by Secretary
E. NJ. Banding of the State Board of
Trade at the meeting of that organiza-
ton in Waterville there is passage
which should be read with care by
every man interested in the future of
Maine. Mr.. Banding tells in this
portion of his report the story of what
is being done for the development of
Maine water power and its electrical
transmission. In the construction of
the necessary works for the ac-
complishment of this purpose, millions
of dollars have been spent in the past
year and the list of new projects on
which actual construction has not yet
been begun is long one. How vast
is the still undeveloped water power
of the state is graphically indicated by
the statement quoted by Mr.. Bland
ing who says that engineers estimate
that in the Sc miles between Moose
head lake and the Forks there is
enough power going to waste in the
Kennebec river to run all the mills
in Maine and leave a surplus of un-
used energy. This part of the State,
by the way, is in that region which
Hugh Chaplin of Bangor enthusiastic
cally describes as the undeveloped
principality of northern Maine. 1t is
country which is destined to see
great changes within the lifetime of
the present generation. Already new
towns have sprung up in the wilder
ness and cities exist where but few
years ago the bears and the deer had
the woods to themselves for much of
the time. What has been done is only
the beginning of an era of Industrial
activity in a great territory which a
generation ago was looked upon as
suitable only for the operations of the
lumberman and the hunter For these
reasons what Mr. Banding says about
the development of the water powers
of Maine is we'll worth the reading.

The Towns and the Cities.


It must not be forgotten that the
cities, where the spring contests have
been made, offer the best ground for
the Republicans. The natural field for
the Democratic propaganda is the
farming and village sections of the
State. In them is a reserve Demo-
cratic vote that has not been called
out If it can be brought out the
State is ours.-Rockland Opinion,
We differ with our esteemed con-
temporary on this point. In the
country the majority of the voters are
property owners, with a stake in the
community in which they live. There
are no saloons to cast their blighting
influence over the neighbOrhOod. And
in these days, with the r. +. D. service
bringing mail to their doors, the tele-
phone keeping them in touch with
their neghbors and the nearest town
or city. and the Grange with its social
and educational features, the people of
the rural districts are as well, if not
better. informed on the questions of
the day than many who live in the
cities. Such communities as these are
Republican, not Democratic strong
holds, as the election returns W III
show.
In the cities there is certain per-
centage of floating population-men
who are here today and gone tomor-
row, carrying all their possessions in u
grip or suit case. They know nothing
Of the community in which they are
living temporarily and it's interests do
not concern them. AS rule they are
"agin the government" Another type,
not found in the country, is that which
stands on the street corners cursing
those who by industry and sobriety
have become well-tO-dO. and loudly
demanding their rights while their
families are cared for by charity or the
laborS of the wife at the wash tub
They can always be depended upon to
vote against the moral and material
interests of the community, and. I'M
fortunately, are sometimes numerous
enough to turn the scales against the
men who pay the taxes by which the
public schools are supported. the
streets repaired and lighted and other
| necessities of civilization provided.
1t is the rural voter who is the safe
| guard of the nation. and so long as he
| remains true to his trust the country
" i'll be safe from the anarchism, hood
lumism and lawlessness which mani
| tests itself elsewhere.

BRYAN Insists on a Third Funeral.

In some sections of the East which
Mr.. Bryan in 1896 used to call the en-
emy's country the Democrats are
sauirnling under the Bryan lash and
praying for Moses to lead them out
of the wilderness. but the fact remains
that in the country as a whole Bryan
is unquestionably on top as far as the
Democratic party is concerned, and
that he will secure for the third time
the glorious privilege Of leading his
party to overwhelming defeat. Some
of these eastern Democrats would like
to see Johnson nominated; some would
like to see Judge Gray of Delaware,
and some pretend to be enthusiastic
about Harmon or Governor Folk of
Missouri, but there is no popular de-
mand among the Democratic masses
for any of these men or anybody else.
Bryan stepped aside four years ago
and gave another man the chance and
the other man was beaten worse than
Bryan had been in 1896 and 1900. Ii
any other Democrat than Bryan is
nominated this year Bryan and his
friends will see to it that he is buried
even deeper than Parker was in 1904.
While Johnson coyly admits that
he would take the nomination and gets
in a rap at Bryan for'being such per-
sistent candidate, the tide persistently
refuses to set towards the Minnesota
governor Even North Dakota last
week instructed it's Democratic dele
gates for Bryan, and this action is sig
nificant because the Swedish vote.
which is looked upon as Governor
Johnson's only asset, is no less conspic-
uous in North Dakota than in Mime
sofa. Indiana, Iowa and Illinois have
all declared for Bryan, following the
lead of Ohio and Wisconsin and other
Western states a little earlier. Henry
Watterson of Kentucky still thinks
that if his advice had been taken a
year ago Johnson boom could have
been worked up which would have up
set Bryans chances. but any talk of
Johnson now is only an 18th hour
spasln on the part of a few eastern
Democrats who realize the absolute
willing to grasp at any straw.

PAVING Receivers $500 a Day.


The great sum of money allowed by
the New York courts to the three gen.
tlemen who have been acting as re-
ceiyers OF the Knickerbocker Trust Co
of New York during the five months
since this institution closed its doors
and thus precipitated the financial
panic of last fall, brings out new out
burst of protest against the eXtraVa-
CANT sums usually allowed in such
cases The three men who acted as
receivers for five months. devoting by
no means all their time to the work,
asked for 100000 and were actually
given s2e5, 200, or $4,000 apiece for the
FIVE months This is at the rate of
s1s0.OOo a year. or $4,000 a month, or
$500 a day, a rate Of compensation
which is looked upon as scandal even
in New York where the financial CEN
ter is we'll accustomed to great sala-
ries.
No figures are given to show how the
court is able to figure out that the re-
ceivers earned pay at the rate of $780,
600 a year. The president Of the Uni
ted States steel corporation with assets
of some sl,7oO.0O6, 900. compared with
about s7O,Oo0,0O0 for the trust COM
pany, and with gross yearly earnings
4 ~ -
100000 a year The former president
of the Mutual life insurance company
of New York. with assets seven times
as large as the trust companys was
found to be getting S150000, which was
considered so scandalously high that
the salary was cut down to $4,000 as a
result of the investigation. How. then,
does it happen that the coreceiver of a
s7G,NO0,OOO, now a SOL 900 bank, can
earn $4,000 a year and more? His
duties are either to maintain the status
quo or to liquidate, and is it easier to do
that than to build up bank? If, then,
a receiver is worth $4,000 a year. what
is man worth who builds up the in
stitutiOn? One of these knickerbocker
receivers is credited with the statement
that he would have been satisfied with
an award of 5000, and he would not
be likely to underestimate the value
of his services. The liberality Of the
a. t,o Of i,,cr
Germs in the payment of receivers has
been such as to make receiverships the
special dread Of creditors and the joke
of pretty much everybody else.
