Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1908-04-02

Sons of rich men are quite apt
to be classed as prigs if they walk
in the pathway of the righteous,
and are very sure to be denounced
as degenerates, if they endeavor to
put their fathers money into
active circulation. No wonder it
is considered a misfortune to in
herit too much root of evil.

Work in the Old Town.

Manager Geo. Kimball, of the Old
Town mine, has nearly completed the
Strengthening of the Hot Time lateral
from the bottom of the Old Town shaft
to the Newhouse tunnel. Electric troll
ley wire has been strung so that the
Newhouse tnnnel motors WILL within
few days, be able to haul trains to the
bottom of the shaft. Just as soon as
the lowering device is installed at the
l, ,500-foot station there will be good
tonnage of ore ready for transportation
out through the Newhouse. The Old
Town company is doing but little work
on company account, and has decided to
lease most of the ground already open
ed up. Fully half of the output hereto
fore has been extracted by leasers, and
the new policy will give ample returns
to the stockholders. The character of
the ore in the Old Town is generally of
such good quality that leasers are only
too glad to pay from 80 to 40 per cent
royalty, which leaves to the company a
good margin of profit after allowing for
the operating expenses. The leasing
system is coming into vogue as giving
the most satisfactory results in most of
the big mines in the district. Idaho

Bureau Of Mines Report.

The state bureau of mires has issued
its yearly report, showing by counties
the mineral productions of Colorado for
1907. The total production for that
period of gold, silver, lead, copper, zinc,
and tungsten, was SAL, 399, s34 55. The
output of tungsten, which came from
Boulder county alone, was 200 tons,
valued at S552, 10000. In the report
Gilpin county is shown to have produced:
Gold, 81, ,30S ounces, value 81, 060, 536. So;
silver, 269, lS4 ounces, value S176, 046. "a; ;
lead, 442,67l pounds, value S23, 63S. SO;
copper, 7l5, 100 pounds, value SLAB, l5s. 90;
81, 4O3, ,379.32 The total production of
Clear Creek county, according to the re-
port of the bureau of mines was 81, 2l9,-
sO7.ss Although the reports sent out
annually by the bureau of mines is sup
posed to be authoritative the production
given is generally much lower than it
really was and that is the case in the
statements made as to the production of
Gilpin county. The 1907 production of
gold and silver of Gilpin county was con-
siderably in excess of that given in the
report.

How We Stand.

Almost any other citizen besides a
newspaper man can do so without injur-
ing mis- business, because he is not put
on record. When newspaper publishes
anything, it is there in black and white,
and no way to get around it.
If the editor advocates improvements,
the mossbacks go after him and some
times stop their paper. If he opposes
improvements, the progressive sort get
on his frame and call him a back num-
ber. If he boosts the churches, the lib
eral element call him crazy, and if he
doesn't, the church people say he is go
ing to the devil. If he publishes local
news, some say it is all nonsense, and if
he doesn't, he gets it in the neck from
those who look for the short items. If
he publishes politics, the opposition gets
into his hair, and if he doesn't, he is
charged with being afraid to stand out
for his opinion. If he condemns mail
order houses, there are some people who
ask him to attend to his own business,
as they have a right to trade where they
please; if he publishes mail-order ads,
the home merchants go after his gore.
No country paper can come square out
without making enemies and losing
money, and in the run of year or so
will incur some criticism from nearly
everybody.
But this should not be discouraging.
The newspaper that undertakes to please
everybody will please nobody, and if it
is honest and sincere and thoughtful,
the public will respect it.-Western

Saratoga and SmeIter.

John Owen departed last Sunday
morning for Golden where he spent
some hours in looking over the condition
of the Old Carpenter smelter, which has
recently been repainted, and in the
evening left for Detroit, Mich, where
he has been in consultation with Berry
Brothers, the wealthy varnish manufac-
turers, who are owners of the Saratoga
mine in this district and the smelling
plant at Golden. The appearance of the
ore body in the breast of the Saratoga
lateral from the Newhouse tunnel is en-
couraging and there is every reason to
believe that upon Mr.. Owens return
from the east, steps will at once be TAX
en- to start up the Golden smelter for
the treatment of Saratoga ores. Mr..
Owen and his associates have expended
a large sum of money in doing develop
ment work on the Saratoga property in
consideration of which it is believed
Messrs. Berry brothers will grant any
concession that may be asked of them.
Sufficient development has been done to
bring the property to condition where
but little more work will be required to
place it ready for steady ore production,
and it will only be necessary to sink the
shaft 300 feet or raise from the lateral
to connect with the bottom of the shaft,
to handle an immense tonnage. When
this is done all parts of the mine will
have an easy outlet, and in addition,
dozen or more slopes can be started
along the lateral, where some excellent
ore bodies have been disclosed. Idaho

CITY ELECTION
w. O. Jenkins Elected Mayor
and Geo. Maloney, Vim.
Bishop, Pete Some Al
dermen.

Tuesdays election resulted in no real
victory for either the Democrats or the
Republicans, both parties breaking
about even. w. o. jenkins, Demo-
cratic candidate for mayor, was elected
over w. C. Fullerton, Republican, by a
majority of 70. George Maloney, DEM
ocratic candidate for alderman of the
first ward, was elected over his oppon-
ent, Frank Owen, with majority of So.
The second ward was a tie vote be-
tween R. A. Bass and Henry Peck.
Each received 101 votes. Peter Some,
Republican, was elected alderman in the
third ward and VIM. Bishop, Republi-
can, was elected alderman in the fourth
ward.
The vote cast was very light. AL
though the weather in the morning in
dicated that the day would be most
pleasant one for the voters, about ten
O'Clock an unexpected change took place
and heavy snow commenced to fall.
This continued during the afternoon and
the women voters as a consequence re-
mained at home.
1t was about the quietest city election
that has been held here for some years.
Very little enthusiasm was displayed by
the voters, although the workers in the
four wards were more or less active.
Whether Mr.. Bass or Mr.. Peck is to
be the alderman from the second ward
will be determined this evening at
meeting of the council. The ordinances
provide that in case of a tie vote, the
parties are to decide by lot which one is
to receive the office. The manner in
which this is to be done is left with the
council. The two candidates may flip
coin, run foot race or have a grape
pealing contest. Following is the vote
cast for the two tickets:

Black Hawk Election.

Black Hawk has seldom seen more
interesting contest for the city offices
than was held at the election of Mon
day. Only of late years has there been
two tickets in the field and since an op-
position has developed among the voters
of the mill city the elections have been
more or less hotly contested but on Mon
day the climax was reached. Almost
complete registration was polled and
the successful candidates, with the ex-
ception of one, won out by dangerously
close margins. The Taxpayers carried
more candidates to victory than did the
Independent Citizens. George Fritz was
elected mayor; Minnie Sorenson, treas
urer; Thomas Roberts, assessor; alder
man, lst ward, Ed. Feehan; alderman,
End ward, Pat McNevins; alderman, 3rd
ward, Otto Blake. The following is the
