TO those who have cried the
praises OF the Ely district there is
certainly cause for qualification in
such comments as those made upon
it by Professor Kemp. the eminent
geologist who is directing the copper
camp tour Of Kingston Gould and
party this summer Stronger, how
ever, than the enthusiastic words of
Mr.. Kemp and those with him is the
fact that the party came in to spend
one day. but remained four. In
other words, the mines and reduc-
ton works which attracted their at.
tention were just four times as bis
and interesting as these exceptionally
well informed people had been Leo
to expect by that which they hat
read.

This camp is beyond the point
where the slightest excuse is possible
for worry as 10 the future. Shut
downs now or at any time in the flu
ture are utterly improbable, thanks
to the low costs at which copper can
he produced here and to the enor-
NOUS sums OF money which are in
vested. No matter what turn the at
fairs of individual interests may
take, Ely district activities must con-
stantly grow bigger. There is no
other possible outcome.

congressional elections two years
ahead. This premonitory symptom
always comes. When the Republicans
carried the house of representatives
in 1858 the victory of 1860 in the
presidency was foreshadowed. In
1874 the Democrats won the house of
representatives for the first time
since 1856, and the drop in the Re-
publican vote for the presidency two
years later was so steep that Hayes
obtained a majority of only one vote
in the electoral college. The Repub-
lican setback in the congressional
canvass of 1882 presaged the victory
for Cleveland two years later, Just
as the cutting of the Democratic mar
gin in the house close to the vanish
ing point in 1856 foretold the vic
tory which Harrison won in 1888.
The Republican reverse in the con-
gressional canvass of 1890 and the
Democratic overthrow in like can
vass in 1894 presaged a big defeat
for the party in each case in the
presidential canvass two years later
Nobody has detected any such
symptom of coming Republican dis
aster. In the congressional campaign
of 1906 the Republicans won mar
iority of SIS in the house of repre-
Ovreconfidence prevent
ed them from making it larger, but
it is large enough for practical pur-
noses. Every Democrat, as well as
every Republican. on reading the re-
turns in November, 1906, saw that
all the signs were favorable for an
other big Republican triumph in
1908. II there We're any reason to
suppose that the people were tired OF
Republican domination the evidence
of it would have appeared in the con-
gressional campaign two years ago.
Nothing of the sort came to hand. |
Neither Bryan nor any other sensi- |
Bile Democrat has any hope of Demo- !
cratic success in 1908. In order to I
preserve the party organization a /
ticket had to be put up. The man
at the head of the ticket, however. |
will not exhibit the faintest surprise
when he learns. on the night of No
vember 8. that the third battle turn
ed out just as the first and the sec
ond battles did.

WILDCATS vs.. PUBLICITY.

To the average mining man there
is vast difference between wildcat
advertising and legitimate publicity
but the ordinary person often has
difficulty in discerning between the
two. And this is no reflection on the
intelligence of the ordinary person,
either. Some of the literature gotten
up is so smooth and convincing that
even a trained mining man might be
mislead as to its real merits And
again we see examples of such pre-
posterous claims and glaring false
hoods that child ought to put them
in their proper category. Neverthe-
less. both methods seem TO be highly
successful and each bait is eagerly
snapped up by people who ought 10
know better.
And here is where the mining man,
who is in the game as business, has
il over the general investor who is
playing on the side. Even should
the mining man be fooled by clever
~ written prospectus. or be attracted
by a get-rich-quick ad. he usually in
vestigates before sinking his hard
earned coin. The general investor,
however, is usually easy and comes
through without looking fully into a
proposition. 1t is a safe wager that
an investment that will not bear in
vestigation is not worth going into.

YOU have to offer, given from a reli-
able authority, is the best way to get
before the public. If you are asking
for help to develop a good prospect
any advertising of the right sort

There are always few in a district
who are as tight as the proverbial
clam in regard 10 their affairs, but
don't wait for them to bring the
camp to the front Truthful publ

BRYAN HAS NO CHANCE.
Writer in Chicago Tribune Figures
Democratic Candidate DOOM
ed TO Defeat.

Now that both parties have nomi-
mated their candidates and agreed
upon their platform. It is natural to
ask, writes Raymond in. the Chicago
Tribune, what will the harvest be
and who will reap the fruits of vic
tory? 1t is too early TO answer these
questions now, but IL is possible TO
give a general forecast of the proba-
BILE results, and this is what | pro-
pose to do in as dispassionate way
as is possible under the cireunr
stances.
'As the situation seems TO me at
the close of the two conventions
with all the actual fight yet TO come,
IL is difficult to figure out how Mr..
Bryan can be elected. Ii is necessary
first of all to cast up the electoral
votes of the states and to try to get
at some idea of those which are GER
tain, or reasonably so, for either par
ty, those which are doubtful, and
of the latter those which are prob
able.

The head of Mr.. Bryan's literary
bureau says: "A political revolution
is at hand. All signs point to a
change of party control of the gov
eminent in 1908" If there are any
such signs that parsonage ought to
point them out. Mr.. Bryan has not
yet mentioned any Of them, and he
would be likely to see them If any
body could. And If he saw any of
them he would quickly tell his conn
trymen about them.

THE REPUBLICANS AND THE TARIFF.

Every leading Republican who
has spoken on the subject has
announced that the tariff must
not be revised until after the
Presidential election. Not one
of them has said that it win be
revised then in the interest of
the consumer. The meaning in
tended to be conveyed-we base
our opinion entirely on Republic
an tariff practice that no
change shall be made in what is
called the readjustmenta Of
rates that will injure the pro.
tected interests whose campaign
contributions r confessed "
both parties shave done so much
both to maintain Republican
power and to increase rates Of
duty. The President, Mr.. Fair
banks, Secretary Taft, Speaker
Cannon, and Senator Beveridge
in his recent earnest speech in
behalf of his friend and leader,
Fairbanks, have uttered the pro
found assertion that the tariff
must not be touched until after
hePresidential election. But will
it be touched then? This is pre-
cisely the question that none of
them will answer. They do not
desire that the disconnected ele.
ment Of their party shall think
that their President and Con
gress will remain hostile to a
reduction of duties; they do.
desire that the protected inter
ests shall believe that, whatever
the changes that may be made,
they will be in aid of them. The
Republican leaders are seeking
to dodge the issue in order to
save for themselves the votes of
the protected and the taxed and
the money of the protected. ~

Mr.. Lawson is wrong about
his efforts being unappreciated
and he contradicts himself on
TINS very point. He admits that
he has received scores of thou
sands of letters from people com
mending him in his fight. His
work was doing a great deal of
good and he ought to have been
satisfied merely by the know
ledge that he was doing what he
thought right. 1t appears,
though, that fame was what he
was after, and he seems to be a
gutter.
The people of Christ's day,
he says, 'petitioned his enemies:
Please do not use RUSTY bolts
when you spike him. But did
Christ for this call the people
saffron blooded apes?7
If there had been no men con
tent to live and die without
sympathy and without applause,
the world would be less than it
is today. Mr.. Lawson, it seems,
lacks just one element of sue
ss--persistence.
