BAY STATE DEMOCRATS
Will Meet at Boston to Choose Del.
egates to the Denver Conven-
tion-A Fight Expected.
Special to the Herald.

Speclai TO the Herald.
Boston, Mass, May 6.-The demo-
cratic state convention to choose the
delegates at large to the Denver con-
vention is to meet in Faneuil Hall to-
morrow and it is not improbable that
the historic cradle of liberty" may
be the scene of lively proceedings.
There is sharp alignment between
the Bryan and the anti-Bryan factions
of the democratic party in this state.
In the preliminary skirmish that has
been going on for some time past the
Bryan element, under the leadership
and direction of George Fred Will
liams, has been displaying the most
activity The Bryan supporters have
been in control of the caucauses and
have been almost unmolested in ar
ranging their plans to control the
state convention.
But what is left of the safe and
sane" democracy has aroused itself
and is preparing to contest for the
control of the convention. The indi-
cations are that the Bryan element
will be permitted to have things pref
ty much their own way up to the
point of instructing for the Nebras-
kan. The opposition is determined
that the delegates from Massachusetts
shall go to Denver unpledged, and if
an attempt is made to instruct for
Bryan it is probable that the result
will be split convention.

Steel Magnates Are in Big Deal
Near Chihuahua-The Prop
critics Were Discovered in
1903-Work on Large Scale

CHIHUAHUA. MEX. April 4.-The
famous Sta. Eulalia mining district, 10
miles south of this city, is the center
of interest throughout all Mexico at
the present time by reason of the inn
mense deal by which Charles M.
Schwab, the steel magnate, and asso-
GATES, have practically, If not entirely,
closed the purchase of the famous Po-
tosi mine and extensive properties of
the Chihuahua Mining company on a
basis Of SS,000,00O, gold. With this
deal Mr.. Schwab and associates viii
have invested in this great camp fully
$4,000 900 gold, 100000 of which
has already been put into the San Toy
Mining company's present properties.
The advent of Mr.. Sehwab into Sta.
Eulalia marked new era in the greats
est district in Mexico. 1t means new
life and new blood, and the dropping
of the ultra-conservatfsm and lack of
public spirit. During the last quarter
of a century, which period might well
be called the transition period a
mighty change has come. primitive
methods giving way to modern.
Discovered in 1908.
The Sta Eulalia mines were discoy-
cred by the Spaniards in 1903, and
since that time. although there are no
complete records OF production, the
district is generally credited with
$500, 900, 900, the greatest of any in Old
Mexico. Yet the deepest workings in
the camp are at Sto Domingo mine of
the chihuahua company, which is 1900
feet Aside from two others, no other
mines in the vicinity are anywhere
near so deep. The mines are all dry,
and it is said that in two of the main
workings diamond driIlings show sim
liar ore deposits in the lime down to
5000 feet.
The geology of the formations and
ore deposits in the great caves in the
limestone is familiar. and much has
been written about them
The greatest proven mines of the
camp are the FL Potosi of the Potosi
Mining company and the Sto. Domin-
go of the Chihuahua Mining company,
both being controlled by New York
and Denver men. At present from
these properties about 1000 tons OF
ore a month are being shipped to the
smelter. 1t is claimed in these two
workings there are 100000 tons of
ore, which will net So gold per ton, or
S1S,O00O0O. This is also said to III
clude the zinc deposits in the Potosi,
which are very large and separate
from the silverlead ores.

The Chihuahua Mining company also
owns a number of other groups of

AT THE SHELTERS.

During the week the 125-foot add
ton to the Copper Queen smelter
was completed The addition is now
ready and the building is thus en-
Iarged SO that two more 500-ton fur
naces can be accommodated when
ever there is a demand for their con-
struction The fifty-foot addition to
the poWerhouse has also been com
pleted and all the new machinery Is
now in place. This new power will
be sufficient to supply any additional
furnaces which may decided upon in
the future. The new ore pit, which
was recently excavated alongside the
original ones. is now ready for the
cement lining, but just when this
work will be started is not known. An
additional casting and elevating ma
chine is now being installed This
machine receives the copper from the
converter stands and delivers it onto
the platform In bars ready for loading
into the cars. The moulds are ar
ranged in circle and are carried I'M
der the converter spouts automaticai
ly, thus doing away with the old car
riage plan which required a number
of men to pull it as the moulds were
being filled one after another. Dur
has been used at the smelter. Dur
ing the last few months there was ae-
cUmalated an enormous surplus stock
Of coke, but at present shipments are
not coming as heavy as they we're
during January and February. The
Queen production for the month of
March was something like 7.500.00
pounds of copper. an increase over
the product for the short month of
February.
During the present week the water
from the artesian well in the valley
west of the smsiter was brought TO
the works and Is for the first time
being used. This well was bored two
years ago and flow OF zoe gallons
of water per minute was encountered

This product is no more than some OF

summer. Before more than five fur

Last week one of the ablest and
best liked Republican members Of
congress. ]. Adam Bede, Of the Eighth
Minnesota district, was defeated for
denomination by members of his W
party because he declared himself I'M
finchingly In favor of the reelection
as speaker of Joe Cannon. This seems
to be a fair indication of Republican
sentiment concerning the car Of the
lower house of congress. Golfers
Weekly, which SO far as it has any
policy, is certainly friendly to the Re
publican party, denounces Cannon IN
~reservedly, and last week printed a.
communication in which 1t was said,
that Ii Taft and Sherman were elected

President Roosevelt, in 1891, said Of
Cannon: 1--WE cannot escape from the
fact that 1t was no credit to the Re-
publican party of the house that Mr..

''Uncle Joe" Invites Demand That

Speaker Cannon intimated that Mr..
Bryan had become a millionaire. The
speaker was speaking in his home
town, Danville, Ill.
The following day Mr.. Bryan, speak
ing also in Mr.. Cannon's home dis
trict, opened his ledger to the gaze
Of the American people and showed
that he Is worth approximately $780,
900.
Having thus accepted Speaker Can
mons challenge to "'fess up" Mr..
Bryan demanded In return that
Speaker Cannon "snitch on himself"
that is, that Mr.. Cannon also "'fess
up" and relate just how he got his
wealth.

for some people have been worried
that Mr.. Bryan has succeeded by his
great industry in upbuilding a com

Nh. Cannon now tell the people how
he amassed his wealth? He has been
hampered nor or less by official
duties during his term of service in
the congress, yet in spite Of that OBJ
stacle, he is commonly presumed to

Now "Uncle Joe's'' Turn.
None will deny that 1t is now Uncle
Joe's turn to take the people inc his
confidence. Down in Danville, 1t is
true that MT. Cannon and his brother
as bankers are thought each to have
amassed much more than 81, 200. 600.
Certainly, his credit In the financial
world rests on the general belief that
approximately that sum represents his
earthly possessions.
If that be true, 1t is to be hoped
that the speaker will give details as
to how he got it. If it be untrue, then
let him tell exactly how much he is
worth, and of what his wealth con-
sists, and follow Mr.. Bryan's example
in taking the people into his conf
dence.
Mr.. Cannon cannot gracefully re-
fuse to do this. For he himself In.
