VARSITY ALUMNI COOPERATION

Milwaukee Free Press.-The plan de-
vised by committee of the Wiscon-
sin Alumni as ociation to make that
association live and useful medium
Of contact between the university ana
the people of the state is praiseWorthy
both as to its nature and purpose.
The need has long been felt for
some Independent, representative
body which could act as the under
standing interpreter of the university,
its aims and requirements, to the clti-
zens who support that institution, and
at the same time convey from those
citizens their de Tres and requests with
regard to the university.
Logically, the university's graduates
engaged in the active commercial, in
dustrial and professional life of the
Etate and nation are best fitted to
serve as the mutual representatives
of the commonwealth and its greatest
Institution of learning In many of the
eastern schools not maintained through
the bounty of the state, alumni asso-
Citations play such vital role in the
life Of their Alma Mater, but Wiscon-
sin university, like many others of
its kind, has suffered from the foolish
attitude that the states business is
nobody's business and that the alumnus
is cons equently absolved of all res
possibility for state-maintained in
stftution.
How much the University of Wis
consin has lost from this negative atti-
tude of its alumni can hardly be over
estimated. The very men and women
who, because of their personal init
mate knowledge Of certain phases of
university activity were best fitted to
give advice from the standpoint of the
student-citizen, have not volunteered
their knowledge, but permitted faculty
and regents to gain information as
best they could. Nor, on the other
hand. have they seen fit to keep in such
touch with the institution as to be
able to appreciate it's new ideals and
purposes and to interpret them to the
people
progressive members of the alumni
association have for some time been
alive to the folly and disloyalty of
this course, and the plan now project.
ed is the result of their agitation. To
the credit of the alumni body be It
said that they have received the prom
osltion with enthusiasm and that there
IS not manifest the slightest desire to
snlrk the duties imposed by It.
BY means of system of commit

Alumni viii be brought into Immediate
contact and cooperation with the fac
ufty and regents and thus will snpplv

The plan IS simple, comprehensive
and practical and reflects the greatest
credit on its farmers. If the alumni
carry it out in the spirit with which
they have received it a new era has
been ushered in for the University of
Wisconsin.

from the president related to the
granting of franchises for water and
gas companies and for the building OF
a bridge and the improvement OF
harbor in Porto Rico, another asked
an appropriation of $250,000 for the
acceptance of the invitation of the
Austria-Hungar government to par
ticipate in an exposition and still an
other related to fixing the boundary
line between Colorado and New Mex
leo.
Explaining his bill increa ing the
salaries of the president and vice
president respectively, Senator Jona-
than Bourne Jr., OF Oregon said that,
aside from all sentiment in the mat
ter, he is of opinion that the man
who is big enough to be pre- ident OF
the United States, the biggest corpor-
alton in the world, is certainly as big
as railroad president or the manager
of a manufacturing combination, and
should be paid, as business PROPOSE
ton, what the demands of the position
indicate as a fair compensation. >
Senator Bourne called attention also
to the fact that the president of
France receives s114,00Q as a rerebhal
salary and like amount for executive
expenses. He Said the comparison does
our country no credit when it is re-
membered that our national wealth is
estimated at s127, 00O, 600, 900: while
that of France is e-timated at only
S54 ,000, 600, 900

BATTLE MOUNTAIN
Showing Up We'll

When John w. Langley, the well
known mining operator, left this city
a few days ago, he went direct to the
Battle Mountain section of Nevada s
mineral belt to inspect some interests
he and his associates have in that
belt. Returning by way of Tonopah
he gave the following account Of that
section which is just now attracting
so much attention:
The Battle Mountain district,
said he, lis looking better than at
any time that have been there, and
there is more activity in the district
than anywhere else that | have been
or heard Of In the Pedro property,
we have begun the work of develop
ment and will go right along with 1t.
The values continue to increase all
the time. l have brought some of the
rock with me, and it looks most en-

couraging. Here are lot of samples
which will average $50 to the ton,
and here is another lot that will go
about $40 or over. Some of the rock
in the first lot will run as high as
$3.50.
"All the ore that l have with me
comes from a depth of 100 feet,
which is the greatest depth to which
we have gone. OF the $50 rock we
have a vein of five feet, and we have
eight feet of the $40 rock. The ledge
altogether is thirteen feet wide, and
we get some very rich seams in it..
We cannot form any idea of the ex-
tent of the pay shoot, but we have
gone thus far, 400 feet.
There are any number of prop
critics being worked in the Battle
Mountain district, and there are not
less than twenty which are shipping
ore. Keith and Kearns of Salt Lake
have bought the Lucky Strike, which
is about two miles from our prop
erty, and which is looking especially
fine. When the location was made
in last September, they had a four
foot vein on the surface, and this
has been gradually widening out DIS
the depth has increased. On some OF
| the leases there has been made q
bigger strike than that of the origin
al one. Think of so per cent lead
and eighty ounces of silver, and some
gold besides. If this were located
in district which had been in the
public eye, what an excitement il
would produce.
"a French syndicate has just pur'
chased three old producers, the
White, the Shiloh and the Trinity
This was one of the groups of big
producers in the early seventies. I
will be incorporated into the Golcon
da Consolidated Mines Company
which latter company will build :
railroad into the property from Col
conda, circling the entire Battle
Mountain range. There is also ;
complete equipment on hand for
smelter to be built at Golconda.
There are a great many othe
properties which are being worke'
and there are several California peo
pie in there. The Golden Era groul
is owned by G. H. Snow of Napa, am
they are ready to ship. If you will
look at the map of Nevada you vii
find that Gold Circle, Battle Noun
tain, Austin, Round Mountain, Man
haitian, Tonopah, Goldfield and Bull
frog are all in a straight line, run
ming north and south. They are a.
in the same mineral belt. Sal

owners, arrived in this city yesterday
to look after the interests of his own
ers.
Following is the full text OF Cap
tain MacKenna's wreck report as filed
with the customs authorities at Yaqu-
ina, and it tells the story in plain and
vivid terms:
Il left Grays Harbor, Washington,

a heavy sea struck the vessel shifting
the deckload to port and the same
time starting the port bunker bulkhead
water running in large volumes
Water continued to rise very fast II
