A BUREAU OF MINES.

The Washington Cd. c. Times has the following laudatory and de-
served editorial ON the work of Congressman George Bartlett for the e-
adjustment of a Bureau of Mines:
In the face of an unwise opposition from MI. Tawney and other
leaders (probably an unthinking opposition, as welD, the friends of hl-
man life have won a distinct victory in the House by the passage yester-
day Of bill establishing a bureau Of mines in the Interior Department.
The measure is now, before the Senate. There it is feared it may meet
with defeat on strange grounds;
That the creation Of this bureau may delay the organization of a
Department of Mines, and that the national government is undertaking 4
work which belongs to the States
But it is hard to beneve-in view Of the five departments which
have grown from bureaus and the limitation of the new bureaus activi-
tense for American citizens who are otherwise only too near a certainty If
losing their lives.
The fight in the House was In the hands of the Committee Of Mines
many bills submitted to the same effect. Behind the committee was
practically the solid delegation from the South and West. Blu. the bat
thing was done Chiefly by Mr.. Bartlett, Mr.. Englebright, MI. Douglas.
Mr.. Underwood, Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Foster and Mr.. Nichols.
The first named is a new member from Nevada, a Democrat, WHO
came to Washington with his purpose fixed on The enactment Of just such
Legislation. Like most Of his colleagues, he had been impressed with thu
loss OF 1900 of his feuow-creatures in 1906, and probably 5000 in 1907,
OF 8, 8 10 and sometimes Is men in a thousand among the armies
that work underground In America. while 1 or less than / 81 o unusual
average in Europe. But Mr.. Bartlett put his convictions to work. One
by one. he made converts among other members. Republicans as we'll DIS
his tact as well as his earnestness by acting with it as a willing subor-
dinate rather than fighting independent of it.
The result was that not even the Republican chairman of the Com
mftee on Appropriations could stay the tide for the bill when nee the
House got a chance to vote upon it, The yictory-by a vote of 2S t.
29-is the victory of every man who gave the force of his personal in
nuence for a study of the causes which have cost 81 many American lives
But 1t Is not too much to say that the chief credit of the fight belongs
to this young Westerner who came here to get action, and did get it in
his first term.

PURcHAsE SEWER SYSTEM.

That the sewer system of Tonopah should be owned by the city can
not be disputed; that now is the opportune time for its purchase from
the present owners will not admit of argument.
The advantages to be gained III many-a perfectly healthy city,
lessening the death rate; reduced cost to the property owner; nippng a
possible epidemic in its incipency, and a compelling force in the shape
of ordinances backed by the city government to make that class of peo-
pie who have no respect for their neighbors' rights to maintain sanitary
premises.
The buildings being constructed in Tonopah at present are thor
oughly modern and up to date, and all should have sewer connections
With the ownership of the system by the city it means that the present
prohibitve rate will be done away with and all can connect or give good
and sufficient reasons why they do not.
Again we advise the commissioners at their next meeting to take fay
orable action towards acquiring the plant.

Washington, D. G., Feb. ga veil
ed charge was made by Mr.. Mann Of
Illinois, in the house of representa-
tives today, during the consideration
of the army appropriation bill, that
some government official or employe
had yielded to the influence of land
syndicate with a view to selling to
the government tract near Wash
ington, D. c., for target range An
appropriation of $25O,OOO for six thuo.
sand acres was provided for, which
Mr.. Mann denounced as far beyond
its value. He thought there had been
undue temptation to somebody. He
at once aroused the ire Of Mr.. Young
of Michigan, who, springing to the
defense of the committee on Military
affairs, indignantly denied that any
members of it had been approached
by any one but the secretary of war
or his subordinates. The provision
was stricken out on a point Of or
der.
The army appropriation bill was
shortly afterward passed, the total
amount carried by it being $84,757,.

Capt. Bradley A. Fiske testified that
he had had little experience that
qualified him to comment on the ques-
ton of proper water line, armor and
turets.
Mr.. Tillman referred to a statement
that the navy does not give encour-
agement to inventors as it might pro-
fitably do and Capt. Fiske replied that
the inventor is not distinctly en-
outraged
'Why not?' interrupted Senator
Burrows. "Is the department respon-
sible?''
81 do not think IT is the navy de-
partment," he replied. Il think it is
the people who compose the navy"
Reading from an article written by
Capt. Fiske to the effect that no i'm.
provement in the navy had even been
originated by the naval officers, Mr.
Til1man asked if he held to the state
ment.
Mr.. Fiske deliberated for a long
time. II lido not know of any instance
in which they have done so,'' he fin.
ally replied.
He had heard that Hitchcock had
been obliged to go to England before
he could get his inventions recog
nized.

He added that as congress appropri

corning what had been done to de
velop improvements in the navy.
