Sheriff Murphy RGCOnSid6rS

According to an interview published
in the Reno Journal. Sheriff Murphy of
Lander County has reconsidered his
resignation and will hold on to the
office until the expiration of his term.
In the interview. he complains Of the
unjust treatment he has received at the
hands Of some of the newspapers of the
State. So far as this paper is con.
cerned. Mr.. Murphy was not uujustly
treated for his change of front in the
Dwyer case. 1t merely told some of
facts about his conduct here during the
trial of Dryer and withheld others that
would have damaged him more than
those it published.-E,ko Independent.

PaliSado Mine Is
Getting Fine Rock

Salt Lake Tribune: George Madden.
who has been in the vicinity Of Pals.
ade. Nevada. for some time past. ar
rived in Salt Lake City, Thursday.
with good news for Utahns interested in
this section of the ~Sagebrush State.
Mr.. Madden states that G.. w. Jones,
o. ii. Mcdonald and Miles McKinnon
are operating a property two miles west
Of Palisade, aud within one.half mile OF
the railroad. that is showing up splen-
did proportions. These operators are
sinking a shaft and driving a tunnel.
From the work in the shaft. now down
80 feet, they extracted a 80 ton lot OF
ore carrying silver and lead that will
average anywhere from $l8 to $l60 pei
ton.
The entire face Of the tunnel is in ore
that will average in the vicinity of 40
per cent lead also carrying a trace OF
gold. The group consists Of II claims.
and as a bridge is being constructed
over the Humboldt river, this will en-
able these operators soon to begin regu-
lar consignments of such ores to the
local shelters. There is considerable
activity in this portion Of mineralized
Nevada. aud Mr.. Madden predicts some
very gratifying disclosures there right
along.

THE RICHMOND EUREKA MINES
Manager Holden Hopes to Find
High Grade Ore Bodies Be-
low 900 Foot Level
From the Boston News Bureau

From the Boston News Bureau
A. 4. Holden. managing director of
the United States Smelling. Refining &
Mining Company, makes a report to
stockholders Of the Richmond Eureka
Mining Company, in which property
the United State Company owns a con.
trolling interest. He says, in part:
The work ON Eureka Consolidated
the past year has largely added to the
known low-grade ore supply. 1t is not
that we have discovered new bodies,
but we have developed the known ore
bodies, which in nearly every case have
proved to be larger than our original
estimate. Above the 900.foot level
there is very little new ground in the
Eureka mine to prospect. and our
chance Of finding a h~igh-grade ore body
in the upper levels of this mine is
rather remote.
The LOGAN shaft has been put in first
class condition to the 9o0-foot level and
that level redriven to the vein, which
struck at approximately the 1900 foot
level Of the old Eureka Con. incline.
This level was in the active process of
being developed when the orders were
received to curtail expenses, so the Lo-
can shaft was closed down. In the work
that we did in this level two very
promising low-grade ore bodies were
opened. 1t will be our hope and ex.
pectation that in further working of
these. high-grade ore might be de-
veloped, as in the work that was done
small punches of better grade ore were
developed, though no even considerable
pocket was opened.
The principal work in the Richmond
property is being confined to the Lizette
tunnel and the 600.foot level. The
bonanza ore bodies OF the Richmond
were not found below the 600.foot,
though between the 400 and 600 the
largest and richest ore bodies in this
property were opened. The work that
we have done has been confined princi.
pally to opening up two of the low
grade ore-shoots, both Of which have
proved larger than we thought they
would. 1t will be, in our opinion, by
following these low grade ore channels
that We will eventually pick up the
high-grade ore bodies. There is scarce
ly a doubt that the Richmond ore bodies
did not peter out. but the trend of them
was lost by the old company. | have
seen this some occurrence many times
in other properties. l have also seen
careful work pick up the ore bodies
again aud the mines be reopened with
large results. think this will be the
history of the Richmond. as. unlike the
Eureka Con-. the upper levels have not
been sufficiently prospected. The lime
stone is very large and the possibilities
Of ore are very great. 1t will mean
merely careful and persistent work.
l have the greatest possible confidence
in the Richmond property. and believe
that sooner or later a very fine mine
will be developed there.

ONE OF coUNTRY's
GREATEST STATESMEN

The Rev. DR.. Arthur ]. Brown, sec
rotary OF the Board OF Foreign Mis-
sions Of the Presbyterian Church, and
author Of book, entitled @The New
Era in the Philippines" also Is en-
thusiastic over the work and the as
sistance which Taft, as Governor
General Of the PHILIPPINES. gave to
the various religious sects in striving
to educate and uplift the Filipinos.
He spent several months in the ISL
ands when Governor Taft was there.
In his book he shows his appreciation
of Governor Taft's cooperation with
the church movement. He says that
Taft realized that the chief deflcien-
cy OF the Filipino was character, and
that the church would help tremen-
dously in the education and moral
upbuilding of the natives. He
praises Taft's work in obtaining the
enactment Of law which permits all
religious sects to own land In the
islands. Referring to the work of
the United States in the islands he
says:
AS American citizens, we may
cherish pardonable pride that dur
ing this emergence of our country as
AAA <ASAosAS POWCA Jul 4ak4Oudt pOllCS
has been shaped by such men as Pres
ident Mckinley. President Roosevelt,
Secretary Of State Hay, Secretary of
War Root and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Taft.
No other Americans since Washing
ton have had to grapple with more
stupendous problems. Our history
furnished no precedents to guide the
new peoples, no intelligence to help.
Order, liberty and Justice had to be
newly created out OF chaos, bondage
and oppression.
Amid these extra and difficult con-
ditions these men have shown bold
ness Of initiative, wisdom of execu-
tion, fertility OF resource and a
breadth of mind and heart which
place them among the greatest states
men. There should be no policies in
our support of their policy, no secta-
rianism in our prayer that tho God
Of nations may continue to guide

responsibilities now rest"

was 6.s per cent. greater. That sat
isfactory fact cannot be gainsaid.
These facts show that under q suf-
ficiently full protective tariff work
and wages increase faster than do
prices of needed commodities. Scar
city of work and low wages cannot
be compensated for by lower prices
for the food and things we need. All
our experience attests the truth Of
that statement. What avail were
slow prices" in the dark days of '93-
'96, when thousands of American
workmen and their families were
starving? What use is bread at
three cents loaf when the necessary
three cents are absent?
The American workman needs the
benefit Of sufficiently full protect
i've tariff. He has that now, ana to
retain 1t he must vote in November
next only for such men as Congress-
men who can be depended upon to
surely guard his interests therein.
when the matter of tariff adjustment
comes up for discussion and voting

WORK AND WAGES
UNDER PROTECTION
BY WALTER ]. BALLARD.
(From Troy Times. j


Investigation by the United States
Bureau of Labor brings out the fact
that the average hourly wages in
1907 were higher than In any other
year OF the eighteen-year period,
1S9O-1907, and more than twenty per
cent. higher than the average In any
year from 1890 to 1900. AS COM
pared in each case with the average
for ten-year period, 1890 to 1899,
average hourly wages in 1907 were
2S.S per cent. higher, the number Of
employees in the 4169 establishments
Investigated was 44.4 per cent. great
er and the average hours OF labor
per week were five per cent. lower.
1t must be noted that the establish
ments investigated represented the
principal manufacturing and me-
chanical industries Of the country,
says The American Economist, and
that the 2S.S per cent. advance in
wages in 1907 over the average of a
ten-year period included four years
under Democratic low tariff. Not
only were wages higher, but 44.4 per
cent. more workingmen obtained en-
ployment, and the average hours OF
labor were lower in 1907. This Is
the best possible evidence of contin-
ued improvement inconditions among
the wage-earners of the country un-
der the present protective tariff.
The Bureau OF Labor also reports,
It is only fair to say, that the average
price OF thirty principal articles was
twenty per cent. higher in 1907 than
the average price for the ten years,
1890 to 1899. Against that Is the
fact stated above that not only were
wages 2S.S per cent, but also the
further fact that 44.4 per cent. more
people were employed. And more:
Compared with the average for the
same ten-year period the purchasing
power of an hours wages in 1907
