"The third scare presented by Mr..
Taft is in the discussion Of the trust
question. He says that Mr.. Roosevelt
would compel the trusts to conduct
their business in a lawful manner and
secure the benefits of their operations,
the maintaining of the prosperity of
the country of which they are an inn

destroy the entire business in order to
stamp out the evils which they have
practiced.'
"In using this emphatic language

For Buncombe OnIv,

Speaker CannOn'S resolution for
committee to investigate the paper
trust is characterized by the Chicago
Record-Herald as for buncOmbe only.
1t AYERS, as was said, indeed, in con.
greSS at the time that no one takes
it seriously, it being merely a device
to protect the wood pulp monopoly
against popular criticism, and this the
Record Herald thinks is one Of the
extraordinary things about it ALL
namely, the power of the standpatters
to deceive themselves into thinking
that their sham Is not transparent tc
every one. 1t goes on to say:
Our stand-pat friends intend to 'ex.
plOit the resolution in their 'dees-
tricts,' to point to it with affected
pride as a statesmanlike substitute
for revision. They will run the risk
Of hooting and jeering Their little
game is too transparent Their only
serious argument-that they could not
touch wood pulp and paper without re.
opening the whole tariff question-was
gone when it was shown that the ad.
mitted need of forest-saving furnished
complete and convincing reason for
treating the wood pulp and paper du.
ties as belonging to a separate
and distinct category. The house
minority is on record as acQuiesc.
ing in such treatment Of these duties.
The anxious stand-patters know that
telling quotations from presidential
messages and resolutions of manufac.
turers and clubs and other organiza.
tions were at their disposal to jus.
tify to all minds the singing out OF
the schedule in question for revision
at this time. They are reckoning with.
out the common sense and the humor

PARTY 5 BADLY DIVIDED.
RepubIicanleaders Seem to See Little
Prospect of Success.

The piston Transcript Is one OF the
Few hclest, reliable Republican news
papers and can always be relied upon
to gle facts and not fanc:es. 1t fol"
lows therefore, that it's Washington
correspondent is equally reliable, and
whit he says about the condition OF
Republican prospects is very interest"
ilg, as it is an inside view of cOndi"
ions in the party councils. There ia
no doubt great alarm among Republi-
can leaders, both as to the result OF
the election for president and con-
gress, and some of those leaders in
congress, who are opposed to the
Roosevelt policies, would not object to
Republican defeat as an object les.
son for the future, if their faction does
not control
There is," says the Transcript, mo
let-up anywhere in the scramble to
line up delegates, but for some time
it has beer noticeable that, outside the
Taft camp, there has been an apparent
tendency to let the situation go by de-
fault
THE allies have taken no pains
whatever to have their view of the
situation presented to the public. They
have had no press bureau, although a
little publicity matter is now being
grouped and given out They appear
to have held no important conferences
among themselves, but have sat by
and watched the scramble with what
looked like amusement.
$50 far not the slightest move has
been made by the candidates opposing
Secretary Taft to unite upon anyone
and give him common support. There
are anti-Taft men on the Taft-pledged
delegations, and there are Taft men
among the delegates from the favorite
son states, Neither Knox nor Cannon
nor any other candidate can deliver
his home delegation to anyone else
Advisable as a combination might be,
it would be difficult if hot impossible
to form one.
How much this unprogressive con-
dition may be due to the growing inn
preston that the Republicans will
have hard time winning this year is
an interesting question. The conclu-
sion forced by facts is that the man.
ayers of the various booms are letting
things drift because they cannot dc
otherwise; but this is certain, that il
the field felt sure that whoever the Re.
publicans nominated would be elected
every candidate in the bunch would
be making brilliant and aggressive
instead of a listless campaign"

Non-Effective Trust BUSTING.

1t was only few months ago that
the administration declared it had de.
molished the print paper combine, yet
now we have Speaker Cannon intro.
ducing a resolution in the house Of
representatives directing the depart.
ment of commerce and labor to report
to the house what investigation, If any,
it has made into the business of the
International Paper company, or other
combination engaged in the manufac.
ture of wood pulp and print papers.
and also directing the department OF
justice to report what steps, if any.
have been taken looking to the prose
cution of these corporations for their
alleged violations of the Sherman anti.
trust law.
The speaker evidently believes that
the presidential trust busting is not
effective and that the trust still exists
and is plundering the newspaper pub
fishers. Still Speaker Cannon refuses
to allow the bill to put wood pulp and
print paper on the free list to be re.
ported and considered. Republicah

. More Tariff Exactions.

The national board of general ap
praisers at New York has reversed for
mer decisions cnd placed hides OF the
India buffalo on the tariff list of cat
tie. Heretofore they have come in free
with the hides of the cape and water
buffaloes. The decision will add about
100000 annually to the shoe bill
of the people. The Milwaukee Evening
Wisconsin says:
"The decision Of the appraisers will
Increase the cost of manufacturing the
cheaper grades Of shoes, and will
therefore affect those who can least
afford to meet the advance. From
100000 to $10,O00,0OO worth of the
Indian hides are imported every year.
Each hide is valued at from four to
six dollars in the crude state, or about
one-third less than the hides of do
mestic cattle. Thousands of importa-
tions were held up pending the deci-
sion, and the owners of the stock will
have to pay from 60 to 80 cents each
to get them from the bonded ware.
houses. While the conclusion of the
appraisers may impose temporary
hardship upon the importers and. upon
she shoe trade, it may be a good thing
after all, as it will doubtless stimulate
agitation In favor of repeal of the
duty on hides. The shoe ;manufactur.
ers of the country have been appeal
ing for such action for several years
One Of the first changes when the
tariff is revised will be tho placing
Of hides on the free list"

at which plans were discussed for the development of the big body of cop
 per ore cut into by the tunnel in the Red Hill The tunnel is now m. 515 feet, the last seventy-five feet being | ing the body of sulphide copper ore. with no hanging wall yet encounterett- Drifts will be run along the foot Il and the tennel will be continued tlll the hanging wall is reached, when other drifts will be run along the hang ing wall and the work of blocking out ore commenced. A concentration VIII be installed in the gulch below the tunnel and the ore run from the tun- mel into the mill. The ore body in the Red Hill, besides being a very large one, is a most inexpensive mining proposition to start in on. A second tunnel can be run into the hill cou- pie of hundred feet lower down in the gulch then the one in which the work is now being done, and the ore run from that also to the mill in the same cars in which it is run out of the mine, making it possible to work the mine for the first eight hundred feet
  or the hOisting of skips or cages.
 In the shaft on Guajalote flat. half "a mile from the Red Hill tunnel, drifts are being run on the vein and some good ore found, but not in great quap tity. The depth is not sufficient at that point and sinking will be contin- ued for several hundred feet more. A surveyor has been engaged to survey the group of seventeen claims for pat ent and as soon as the survey is com pleted a new tunnel site will be se- lected on the New York claim, half a mile east of the Red Hill. where some work has already been done on copper lead. The development work is in charge of Superintendent s. l.. Hunter, with whom a contract was made this week for one year, at d good salary, it being the desire of the management that the work continue under the supervision of one man till the mine is systematically opened
 The shaft at the Morning Glory copper mine is down 40 feet, with little change in the vein since passing the one hundred foot level where it was almost six feet wide. It is now little more than six feet. with less iron than before, and still solid ore from wall to wall. C. B. Wilson of Patagonia, who owns the property says the sinking will be continued and sta- tions cut as depth is acquired. With the ore already iii sight a thirty-ter shelter could be easily supplied atriIe Morning Glory, as no concentration is required.
 The tunnel at the Pickhandle is in one hundred feet. with about twenty five feet yet to go to cut the ledge at a depth of ninety feet. Across the hill on which the claims are located
