CHANCELLOR DAY AND 1ILLMAN.

1t required many centuries of sci
errr1tic 1csearrn to satisfactorily an
swer the question "Of what use IS ,b@
mosquito?" Now we know the Al
mighty did not create this pestifercns
insect to excite the anger and wrath
of the human family. Now we know
that the very presence of this blood
sucker is a warning that disease and
death Turk in the cesspool, the swamp
and the stagnant water. Instead of
the mosquito fulfilling its mission in
assing the human family, it really has
a place In the wisdom of creation.
Ath the present time we have in
public life two men that political econ
omists thus far have failed to classify.
They are Chancellor Day and Senator
Tillman Both are of the mosquito or
der of creation. The first represents
culture, refinement and education. 1t
is doubtful if the latter knows the
meaning Of the words. Chancellor
Day is the best specimen of the genus
toady-to wealth this country has ever
produced. He is the self-authorized
defender of Rockefellerism and all
that the word implies. One can almost
when a wealthy parishioner enters his
study. Naturally he resents the words
and actions of Roosevelt
Senator Tillman, the poor white of
the Carolinas, is the very opposite in
all that goes to make up his person
ality. He is vulgar, profane, quick
tempered, and man lacking personal
friends or the respect of his col
leagues in the senate And he, too,
damns Roosevelt. And both men can
sting, and each in his way does inject
poison into the life-blood of the ma
ton.
But these men. like the mosquito.
have a mission. Neither realizes the
work by indirection, and the result
comes from the same point Chancel-
Tor Day. the toady to wealth, is the
extreme instance of a public teacher
utterly unfit for his position, but
serves as a warning. Imagine all of our
college presidents and ministers of the
gospel uttering the words and SEN
fences of this defender of Rockefeller.
AS to Tillman and his pitchfork.
think of all our senators using the
language and uttering the sentiments
of the defender of mob law. Imagine
living in a country where such men as
rrillman are deliberately elected and
reelected to the highest body of law
makers in this country. We think of
Chancellor Day, and then we reflect.
How many years would this country
have a national existence if Rockefel-
lerism increased? His sting initiates,
but does not the very buzz and bite Of
Chancellor Day warn us of danger to
national health from the stagnant wa
ter of wealth-wealth and riches ac-
quired by the methods of the Stand
ard Oil combine. Senator Tillman is
the less dangerous, because of his bru-
tality. But he, too, warns us of the
danger of putting a beggar on horse
back. His hatred of wealth, culture
and civilization is as much a menace
to society as the fawning obsequious-
ness of Chancellor Day. Both are eX-
tremists. From such men, and their
thoughts and sentiments, Good Lord,

MAsTADoM PLANS BIG TUNNEL
Will Be 900 Feet Long and 600 Feet
Deep

Four men are working at the
Mastodon property now and by June
Is sixteen will be working there,
when lower tunnel Is to be started,
which 1t is calculated will tap the
main ledge at depth of 900 feet
and will have to be driven 900 feet.
Already over $50 feet OF tunnel
ing has been done on the five claims
owned by the company. The claims
were first staked out and work be-
gun on them about year ago. The
ledge on the surface is 1e feet wide
and carries values of silver and gold.
The formation is in lime stone and
slate. The showing is good and the
indications are that the ledge, when
struck, will carry high values Of gold
and silver. The owners are much en-
cOuraged over the prospects.

AM. COMMANDER NEARs LEDGE
Ore Body May be Reached Any Day
Now

1t is expected that the ledge on
the American Commando will be
reached any day. Ed Lindsly
of Mullan has the present contract
on the property and is a heavy stock
holder in the company.
The tunnel is in a wall of quartz
ite which runs parallel to the vein
though not parallel to the formation
and this is probably the vein wall as
former exploration of the ledge
showed similar wall. The face is
showing a great deal of quartzite
with lots of iron pyrites and quartz,
the same as the Burke quartzite.
The face of the tunnel is now in
S6S feet from the portal, and the
depth is over 400 feet. Two men are
working and are making six feet a
week.
The property has a fine surface
showing and a good showing in the
upper tunnel, mostly sulphides with
galena and carbonates. Ore taken
from the shaft above the tunnel car
ried $65 In values to the ton.
The American-Commander prop
erty is located near Mullan and ad-
joins the Hunter property.

Tunnel FOR COPPER KING
Work Costing $3.50 Projected. Spec
ial Meeting Called for June Is

This new tunnel has many ad
vantages besides the great depth Il
will gain. For instance, it will place
the outlet of the mine two miles
nearer the railroad, which is an ad-
vantage in itself worth the cost ot
the tunnel. The tunnel will be
driven for its entire length through
ground owned by the company.
Another preliminary step taken
is the survey and filing Of water
rights which will furnish water pow
er sufficient to drive a four-drill air
compressor for the operation Of pow
er drills. This alone will effect a
saving Of about $3.50 per month.
1.-THE estimated cost of this deep
tunnel is $36,O70. This estimate is
of course subject to fluctuation, &C.
cording to the nature Of the ground
passed through. The estimated cost
is outside Of the compressor machin-
cry, buildings, flume lines, ETC.,
which are absolutely necessary pre-
liminaries to the actual tunnel drfv-
ing. A rough estimate Of this pre-
paratory work places the cost at
about $4,000, which will bring the
total cost to $44,070.
"This deep tunnel is the only prac-
tical and the least expensive plan
that can be devised for the successful
operation of the Copper King. and 1t
is the intention Of your board Of d.
rectors to push this tunnel to CON-
pletion as fast as money, men and
power can drive it. 1t is estimated
that, with the machines and power
available, we can drive 200 feet per
month.
"The company has no treasury
stock; the funds on hand amount to
$4,000, and the only plan left open
by which the company can raise the
necessary funds is by assessment on
the entire capital stock of the cor
poration.
"The financial plan proposed by
your directors is to levy three assess
ments at / cent each, covering q
period OF 18 months, one assessment
OF cent per share to be levied and
payable every six months until the
three assessments are In. This plan
will bring into the company's treas
ury the sum Of $4,000, which
should be entirely ample to complete
the work outlined In the short time
specified.
A special meeting will be held June
LIS to discuss the project.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1908-05-28

One of the best known prospects
in the Occur d'Alenes is the Copper
King. It was a favorite speculative
stock for a long time. The company
now proposes to do some extensive
work and has described it as follows
in a circular letter:
"Your board of directors takes
this means Of informing you Of the
work performed by the Copper King
company In the past and the work
planned for the future.
1.-THE company's property consists
of IL full claims and two fractions
located in Lelande and Hunter min
ing districts. Up to the present time
the company has confined the work
to what is known as the Copper King
claim, on the Burke side 1. he range,
and has completed about 5000 feet
of tunnel work. This work has de-
veloped shoot Of ore, which, to be
conservative, is at least 200 feet in
length. The vein in this strip Of
ground is fully six feet wide, and con-
tains a pay streak Of solid galena ore
which will run all the way from a
few inches up to two feet in thick
ness. This ore will run about 20 per
cent lead as 1t comes from the slopes,
an average considerably in excess of
the product Of the mines that are
producing at profit in this district.
The vein has all the characteristics
of the true fissure veins and will In
the opinion Of your board OF direct
ors become a steady producer when
sufficient depth has been obtained.
The present depth is only 800 feet
and It is not considered advisable to
work this ore body from the present
opening because Of the great cost OF
equipment and the small amount Of
stoping ground available.
"These things considered, your
board of directors has taken the pre-
liminary steps toward driving a deep
tunnel from the Mullan side of the
range. The tunnel will be 1907 feet
In length, and will open the ore shoot
shown in the upper tunnel at depth
Of 927 feet below the present open
ing. II the ore body improves in
size and quality with additional
depth, as your directors have every
reason to believe 1t will, the great
depth obtained by this tunnel will
provide ore reserves which will stand
heavy production for years to come,
and in such case the mine will, OF
course, become q dividend payer.
