Which Party is Better?

Which party will the Negro
support In the coming natlonal
campaign? This question ha,
been asked many tunes by the
party leaders and the press of
tDls country, owing to the
Brownsville affair and the an.
nounclng of a few Negro polite
ianS that they would attend the
Democratic convention and seek
relief from that party. What re
suits they obtained cannot readi.
~ be seen by reading the plat,
form adopted by the convention
at Denver aud endorsed by the
Hon. w. j. Bryan, We fail to
find one word IN their platform
that refers to the Negro, unless
it be that section of their plat
form under the heading of PRO
tecGlon IT, the American Citizens
where they use the words race
or creed, the equal protection of
ali rights and privileges open to
them under or treaty, and if un
der existing treaties, the right of
travel aud sojourn is denied to
Amerlcen cltizans or recognition
Is withheld from American psss.
pJrJs by any countries on the
ground of race or creed"
They favor prompt negotia-
tlOnS with the countries to pro-
cure the removal of unjust dis.
examinations.
To the intelligent colored voter
such punk as this is amusing. AS
race we are not bothered about
pas sports to foreign countries, as
our trav, Is are confined mostly
to the country in which we live
and not abroad. What we do
want is equal accommodations of
travel in the south where lies the
stronghold of the democl attic
party. Give US the right of the
ballot box in the south where the
many thousands of N groes are
beng dlstranchlSed IN one way
or another. When they have
done this then and until then can
they seek the vote of oar race.
Relative to the Negro the sec
ton of the Republican platform
is sound, strong and apprehen.
sive, and no stronger argument
in support of the Hon. W. H
Taft. the Republican nominee,
car be put forth than the com.
parison Of the platforms of the
two great political parties in re.
CARDS to the Negro as a citizen
of this country. And after care.
full consideration there can be
no doubt but what they will con.
tribute their full quota to the
victory of the Republican party

UTAH COPPER COMMENT.
Much Significance Attached to Eiec.
ton of Thompson and HAYDEN.

Yesterdays Boston News Bureau, as
quoted over the Pollock private wires,
comments on the addition of William
b. Thompson and Charles Hayden to
the Utah Copper directorate as follows:
There is considerable significance in
the election of William B. Thompson
and Charles Hayden to the board of d.
rectors of the Utah Copper company.
Both of these gentlemen have been
closely identified with the GuggeD-
helms for some years, Mr.. Hayden in
connection with the Nevada Consoli-
dated and William B. Thompson as the
leading interest in the Cumberland
Ely company.
Mr.. Thompson is president of the
Consolidated Copper company, which
has 100000 shares, par value So, and
which is planned to become the hold-
ing company for the leading mines in
the Ely district, including Nevada Con-
sOlidated and Cumberland-Ely and
possibly the big concentrating proper
ties controlled by the Utah Copper
company and the Boston Consolidated
Copper company in the Bingham CAMP
Certainly the election of Messrs
Thompson and Hayden at this time to
the board of the Utah Copper company
would indicate a closer alliance

SEVEN TR0UGHS TOMBOY
CUTS ORE IN NEW TUNNEL

Secretary J. ]. Snyder of the Seven
TrOughs TOmboy company yesterday
received a message from Captain A. O.
Tibbets advising him that ore had been
encountered in the new tunnel on the
day before, and after the face was only
twenty-five feet under cover. 1t was
really expected that the tunnel would
have to be driven through possibly 100
feet of wash before the ledge would be
encountered.
This tunnel" said Mr. Snyder, was
started through the direction of Cap
tain Tibbets at a point where it was
known that the same vein that has
made the ore in the Fine Gold COM
pany's property would be tapped, but
it was not expected that it would be
reached so soon, as there was no signs
of the outcrop at the point selected 10
start the tunnel. To get directly I'M
der the sixty-fve-foot shaft in which
we opened the ore before this tunnel
will have to be driven about 1,20O feet.
The work will be crowded as fast as
possible, and we are likely to have all
kinds of fine ore right from the turn
loose, as indicated by the captains dis
patch"
There is already talk of a big COM
bination of properties in the Seven
TrOughs district, and Secretary Snyder
declares that his company is going to
crowd development so that, if it be-
comes advisable to join in any such
move. his company will have some
thing more than acreage on which to
demand recognition.

reached and the South Swansea. the
ores IN which were known to go down.
had to either meet all the expense of
pumping or cOnfine its operations to
the extraction of low-grade ore above
the water level
1t is apparent that, if the new smell
ter is to be supplied with water from
the Swansea a big pumping plant will
have to be installed and maintained
by Jesse Knight. When the water is
lowered the South Swansea can go to
work and open its mine d great deal
deep than it is, and probably make a
great deal of money by so doing. The
shafts of the two mines are only a
short distance apart, and there is no
question but that Uncle Jesse and the
Wheelers, who control the South Swan
sea, will become friendly neighbors
and work to each others interests
Again, if the Swansea ores are going
to prove valuable as a fiux in the
Knight smelter, so will those of the
South Swansea, and that makes it ap-
parent that the South Swansea can
find market for it's product almost
within a stones throw of it's hosting
works. Things should be moving live
ly on the Silver City side of Tintic be-
fore great while.
