gress. In the last five months
the Republican Congress spent
81, 200, 600, 100000 of the peoples
money leaving a tax of $13.00
per annum on every man, woman
and child in the United States,
equal to a tax of $65 per an
numon every burdened tax payer, |
We do not wonder, therefore, at
the present deficit of $6O,OOO,-
100000 in the treasury, and the
expected deficit of $3.50, 900, ,O0O.-
90 at the end of the next fiscal
year. The Republican billion
dollar Congress Of 1890 produced
a Democratic victory in 1892; the
Republican billion dollar session
of the present Congress means
the triumphant election of a
Democratic President in the
coming election.
MONEY TO PET BANKS. "
We condemn the Republican
administration for turning over
millions of dollars of the public
money to its pet banks in New
York city, which thereby de-
pleted the public treasury to such
an extent that it became neces-
sary for the Republican admins
tratiOn to issue bonds and bor-
row money to meet the daily OBJ
legations of the Federal govern
ment.
STATES RIGHTS.
We condemn the Republican
party for it's failure in the last
Congress to enact a law forbid
ding one inferior judge to sus-
pend the operation of a State law
without notice 0" hearing.
We declare Our infexible oppO-
sition to the methods of expand
ing Federal power at the ex-
pense of the just powers Of the
States and we especially denounce
the bold and revolutionary threat,
that the omission of the States tc
pass laws upon subjects without
their Constitutional powers, may
be treated as a surrender Of
these powers into the hands Of
the Federal government, which
2 may then lawfully proceed as il

extensively developed. The statement says
there is 200 feet of shaft on the property

200 feet of raises and 1000 feet of cross

the management the questions in the ap-

Mines and Mining Stocks
TO BREAK
LOWER MAMMOTH
1t Worked All Right TIN the
Showdown Came Yes
terday Afternoon.

Lower Mammoth ought to strengthen
up a little in the market now. The i'm
mediate cause for the weakness of the
stock has probably been in the whispered
declaration that the directors were go
ing to mash the stock to smithereens with
a proposition to increase the capital stock
by $4,000 shares. The proposition was
sprung at the meeting yesterday after
noon by Directors M +. Braffet and T..
{. Coffin. and it was promptly, vigorous
ly and effectively sat down upon by the
other directors at the gathering.
After the meeting Colonel A. c. Ellis.
president of the company. stated that
there was absolutely no reason why there
should be an increase of the stock. The
company does not owe a dollar has
money In the treasury, and the mine is
producing al rate now that means the
conversion of s. into the treasury for
every dollar paid out. The mine is in
better condition than ever and il is i'm
proving all the time. He thought the
scheme of increasing the stock was
Matched simply and purely for the pur-
pose of depressing the market and get
ting back stock at low price by those
who had attempted to work IL through.
He did not believe the instigators had
any idea that such proposition would
be seriously considered, but, after hav-
ing created the impression on the out
side that such a move was contemplated
they had TO make good TO the extent OF
introducing the subject at the directors
meeting.

PIONEER CON. OPTIONED
TO PITTSBURG CON.

The proper officers of the Pioneer Con-
solidated Mining company yesterday ex-
ecuted an option in favor of the Pitts
burg Consolidated company for the sale
of its properties on the divide between
Alta and American Fork canyon The
price named in the instrument is So, 80
and one-half of that amount is to be paid
during September next year, and the
other half in September, 1910. or a year
later. AS a part of the deal the Pitts
burg Consolidated company agrees thai
in case it should not finally take over the
property of the Pioneer company 1T will
give the latter a right of way through
one of its tunnels from the American
Fork side into Pioneer ground.
There is practically no question. how
ever but that the Pittsburg company viii
exercise its option. because the patented
Pioneer group adjoins its own ground and
some of its lodges are known to reach
through Pioneer territory. One of the
tunnels of the Pittsburg company has al
ready been extended within 800 feet oil
Pioneer ground and the purpose is to
send this through and see what the
ground under option contains. II IL de-
velops as expected other tunnels designed
to open the Pittsburg at greater depth
will also be extended into the Pioneer
territory. with every probability that lone
before the option expires such bodies oil
ore will have been developed as to make
it imperative to close the deal

development at this point. Later, we shall
take up the work of sinking the thirty

point on the ledge. to a depth of 200 or
300 feet and then drift in the vein toward
the shaft in which we aregoing to first
do our prospecting and development. With

that we can make a big producer of the

and the only reason, in my judgment.
which is backed with the disclosures
made. that the property was not converted
into mine long ago is the fact that the
ground was not understood. 1 have not
the least doubt of securing results from
the campaign that has been planned and
which is to be carried out by the company
we have organized to do it,"
Manager Morrison is particularly well
posted on the characteristics of the min
eral belts of Beaver county and those or
the Lincoln district in particular. He
knows the mistakes that were made in the
palmy days of old Minersville and is now
in position to apply that knowledge in a
way that will count for his company. The
old mines of the Lincoln district are being
brought to the front again and in almost
every instance of where new propositions
have been tackled the results have been
commensurate with the energy and mon
ey expended upon Them

SILVER KING CONSOLIDATED
Says CoaIitionIs Behind Brandl's Ef.
fort to See Company Books.

Z Charging that the Silver King Coalition
Mining company Is back of the effort be-
ing made by Joseph Brandt to secure an
order from the court to investigate the
books of the Silver King Consolidated
Mining company. that concern has filed
an answer to the action for a writ of
mandamus brought by Brandt
The company admits that Brandt is a
stakeholder. but denies that he is bene-
fetal owner of any stock certificates, and
asserts that he has never paid his assess
ments- That he was refused permission
to examine the books is also admitted.
The reason for this refusal, ii is stated,
is that the request on the part of Brandt
was made on behalf of the Silver King
Coalition company. a rival concern hav-
ing properties adjoining those of the de-
PENDANT in the Uintah district. Summit
county.
The Silver King Consolidated company
also asserts that for many years the
Coalition company has been hostile to It,
has taken ore belonging to it and has en-
deavored to ALLEVIATE its stockholders.
1t is claimed that the object of this ac-
ton is to secure the names of the prin-
cipal stockholders in order that they may
be induced to dispose of their holdings or
give up the suit brought against the Coal
tion company for the value of the ore
alleged TO have been improperly taken
by that concern.
j. w. Edmunds, the accountant whom
Brandt desires to have examine the
books. it is said has been employed by
the Coalition company and is in fact now
so employed

SALT LAKE OPERATOR
GETS LEASE AT CHAFEY

After five weeks spent in the new camp
of Chafey, Humboldt county, Nevada.
Charles Z. Taylor manager of the Pho
neer Sampling company, returned to head
quarters yesterday morning. He reports
having been successful in securing, with
others, a good lease on a portion of the
Maud Muller claim. and he believes 1t
will prove a valuable one.
Mr.. Taylor says there are a number of
fine properties l.: the district and the
splendid record for production made by
the Chafey property during the few
months it has been operated holds out
the promise that many good mines will
be made there. The ore shipped from the
Chafey mines nets the owner all the way
from $50 to $50 per ton and when il is
understood that immense quantities of
such ore are ready for extraction it goes
to show that a real mine is being opened
up.
