MAKE GOOD RECORD

For forty-one mines and metal

being made Notwithstanding the low

and metallurgical works. according to
a careful compilation by the Mining
World. have paid in dividends since
their organization the grand total OF
S417.964,321 on an issued capitali-
cation of $356,759,450.

above may seem, they do not include
the disbursements by the Amalga-

January to March this year four

ing an outstanding capital of SAL

Another source of large revenue
from mines is the sale of the products

ENCOURAGING REPORT
COME FROM YERINGroN
Auxiliary Drift Opens Up Fine BODY
OF High Grade Ore.

Some important developments have
been made in the Nevada Douglas
properties at Yerington, according
to a telegram received by W. c. Orem
Yesterday from S. S. Arentz the sup
erintendent. says the Salt Lake Re
publican. The telegram states that
the two south faces of the $50 loot
level are now in a splendid body of
copper ore averaging per cent or
the red metal. The development
work is already in 100 feet of sui
phide ores which average 5 per cent

improving. Mr.. Orem is inclined to
think that the find in the auxiliary

RUSH To ALASKA
PROMISES TO Be
HEAVY THIS YEAR

TACOMA, Wash, April 6.-Ten
TO fifteen thousand miners and pros
pectors will go to Alaska between
now and July because more rich
strikes have been made this winter
than in any previous season. Fabu-
lous riches are reported from Nolan
creek, in the Koyukuk district, where
single pans are said to run to $3.50
each. J. c. Cameron, deputy collect
or of internal revenue at Fair banks,
saw pans averaging $40 each. and
the news is further confirmed by
United States Commissioner Howard
This strike was made by some
Swedes, who sunk shaft through
what was heretofore considered bed
rock and found through the bedrock
at a depth of 40 feet pay gravel that
seems to be part of an old channel
Vault creek, in the Tanana district,
was last year considered blank, but a
pay streak was recently found, and
the creek is expected to produce sew
eral millions by midsummer.
Conta, working eight claims on the
Lay, offers to bet $4,000 he has a
40 foot face in the drifts from which
no pans can be taken going less than
a dollar each. Five pans averaged
nearly $12 each.
Pans running 5000 to 500 each
are being taken from the Valdez sec

SOME IMPORTANT
MINING DECISIONS
AS TO STATE TAXES

A Washington press dispatch says
that the United States supreme court
has decided that any state has the
right to collect taxes on an unpat-
ented mining claim. The state fur
Their has the right TO seize an I'M
patented claim and sell il to the
highest bidder, giving what is known
as tax title.
The decision is of great import
ance and will tend TO settle innumer-
able mining controversies. 1t may
even s.ffect titles on homesteads, des-
ert claims and the other forms of
claims by which United States prop
erty is sold to settlers.
The question came up in the suit
of George Elder, Samuel Mcmillan.
Alice J Combie, administrative of
the John McCombie estate, and 9TH
ers, against Tingley S. Wood, Mary
NJ. Rulard, Anna l.. Finnerty and
Cecilia l.. Wahrer The suit was for
the possession of one of the most
valuable claims on the Comstock
lode in the Leadville district, In
which millions of dollars worth OF
ore is known to be buried.
Tingley Wood bought a tax title
from the state before the patent had
been issued and while the property
was still technically United States
ground. Wilhelmina GUIDE, widow,
had inherited the claim and had fall
ed to pay the taxes because she
thought taxes need not be paid until
the patent was in hand. After the
state had sold the claim for taxes she
sold a quit claim deed to George r..
Elder and the other plaintiffs. On
| the question whether a state can
seize for taxes property which is still
technically United States property.
and on the further one whether the
state has right to tax an inpatient
ed claim at all. the case was fought
through the district court at Lead
Vile, through the supreme court of
Colorado, and finally In the highest
court of the United States.
The supreme court said the state
did have a right to tax unpatented
land; had a right to confiscate in
case of failure to pay taxes, and held
Tingley Woods title good one. The
plaintiffs appealed to the United
States supreme court on the basis
that the property at stake was United
States property, and the Colorado
courts ruling was upheld ia full.

TO PEOPLE
TO PUNISH RIDERS
Governor Wilson of Kentucky
Finds Troops Are In
effective.
STERN ACTION NECESSARY.
EVERY coWARDLY ScoUNDREL
WHO RIDES THE ROADS TO
THREATEN HIS NEIGhBOR
SHOULD BE PUNISHED HE SAYS

Frankfort, KY, Oct. 13.-Chagrined
that his efforts to restore law and order
in Kentucky were of no avail although
S125 ,OO0 has been expended for the
militia within the last ten months.
Governor Wilson has issued call or
proclamation to the people to assemble
at the county seats and form vigilance
committees for the protection of their
homes from murder and arson.
This call by the governor comes in a
reward of $500 offered for the appre-
hension and conviction of each of the
band of fifty men who fired the cabin
of the negro, Dave Walker, in Fulton
county and murdered him and his
family. Governor Wilson says:
The governor calls upon the people
to assemble in their respective neigh
borhoods and counties to organize and
take stern, prompt and effective meas
ures to punish every cowardly scoun-
drel that rides the roads to threaten
his neighbor, to put an end to lynch
ing, murder and arson, and calls upon
the local authorities in each county to
be earnest and vigilant and offers them
much of it as shall be needed, for the
instant arrest and punishment of all
who are guilty of these crimes, and to
do everything possible to clear the
name and honor of Kentucky from the
shame and disgrace of such crimes"
Governor Wilson says the reward is
offered for the men who banded them
selves together at midnight and went to
the cabin home of Walker set fire to it
and when he threw open the door,
pleading for mercy, was shot to death.
Then his wife, trying to escape from
the burning cabin, ed to the door, hold
ing her baby to her breast, and begged
the night riders for mercy, but the
cowardly fiends murdered the baby in
it's mothers arms, and she also fell
wounded. Then little girl of 3 years
was also murdered while trying to es-
cape, and three other children were
shot and seriously wounded.
THE crime and stain on Kentu| y of
the murder of four helpless prisoners
at Russellville by bands of night rid
ers, the outgrowth and logical result OF
federation of the night riders crimes
in large districts of the state, is only
one remove from civil war. and the
very safety of our institutions and
what we have of civilization is involv-
ed, and the only salvation of the name
honor and character of Kentucky is
| for the whole peOple to rise I'D in their
might and have their liberty upheld
uphold the laws and mercilessly pu,
down murder, arson, intimidation ant
prescription wherever they show them
selves"

most intimate friends will not recog-

Mr.. Schaf sauntered into the Deni-

ner. He had dined we'll and was
smoking a good cigar. Mr.. Schaf
looked about the lobby for an acquain-
lance and, not finding one, passed
leisurely into the billiard room. He
was in an excellent humor and had
no objection to talking little.
"Are the brewers having meeting
tonight, Mr.. Schaf?" he was asked.

REPLY TO MARSHALL
State Auditor BiIIheimer Says
That His Acts Were
Legal.
HE WAS MISREPRESENTED.

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 13.-John c.
Billheimer, auditor of state, in letter
to Thomas r. Marshall, Democratic
candidate for governor, has replied to
queries propounded by Mr.. Marshall in
his Bluffton and Elwood speeches. In
his recent Button speech Mr.. Marshall
demanded to know whether Mr.. Bill
heimer while deputy auditor of state in
1903 had not received 81 600 salary for
acting as clerk for the state board of
tax commissioners.
Mr.. Billheimer readily admits he did
receive the money, but explains that
the law makes the Office of clerk Of the
state board of tax commissioners a
separate and distinct Office from that
of deputy auditor of state, and he con-
tends he was legally and rightfully en-
titled to the salary provided for the
clerk of the board since a Democratic
attorney general had held that the
clerk of the board should be paid for
his services. Mr.. Billheimer charges
that Mr.. Marshall showed an apparent
desire to misstate the truth
In reply to another question directed
at him by Mr.. Marshall in his Button
speech, Mr.. Billheimer insists that if
Mr.. Marshall knew of any one who had
been shielded by the committee which
investigated the auditors Office he has
the right to make the information pub
lie. In reply to a statement made by
Mr.. Marshall in his speech at Elwood
to the effect that all of the figures the
speaker used in his speeches were OBJ
tanned at the state house. Mr. Bill
heimer says the records show no such
figures as those Mr.. Marshall quotes

M. Watson's opposition to the extern
sion of partisan control and the civil

that he opposed the extension of the

that Mr.. Watson's opponent in two
speeches, the last of which was de-

Spells System.
I'VE in Indiana know what that

suit. l may say that the old doctrine is
not only bourbon, but absolutely me-
diaeval. The man who says that thing

system is to cast your votes for James
E. Watson, who stands pledged to non
partisan control of our benevolent in.
situations. We owe him our support"
Sparkling with the vim and enthu.
siam which characterized his remarks
the words of Mr.. Foulke had startling
effect on the audience. There can be nc
denial that there has been opposition
to Mr.. Watson among the Republicans
of Richmond in particular The aud.
fence last night may have contained

hundreds Of voters of this sort, but the
words of the speaker were greeted with
cheers The applause was vocIferous.
Coming from man Of the caliber OF
Mr. Foulke, the expression of approval
of Mr.. Watson will have far reaching
effect Mr.. Foulke has not been max
ing stump speeches this year. He has
not submitted his name to the speak
ers' bureau asked for assignments.
He has remained at his home in this
city and watched the machivations OF
the campaign from his home retreat.
But he has heard James E. Watson,
the Republican candidate for governor,
being maligned. He has read in the
newspaper of which he is part owner,
inyidious attacks upon the integrity of
Mr.. Watson. He has read in the same
paper imputations as to the character
of the Republican candidate. He has
read there, also. that Watson was an
enemy of the president.
But Mr.. Foulke does not throw his
energies into writing editorials that
might embarrass the editor of his pa
per and his policies. He voluntarily
appeared before a public audience and
verbally expressed his thoughts. 1t
will be remembered that some time ago,
Mr.. FouIke announced he would talk to
the citizens of this community upon
the issues of the campaign. He deliv-
cred an address at the Pythian temple,
and in it he spoke independently of
party affliation Of any kind. He ad-
vised then that Watson be rendered
support by the voters, because OF the
platfor missues upon which he is
making his campaign.
Points Out Danger.
And Mr.. Foulke has raised another
issue in this campaign. He has taken
up Mr.. Marshalls assertion, I'VE are
still Democrats" and has undertaken
to show the voters the danger of elect
ing such man. Mr.. Foulke sees in the
selection of Marshall death thrust to
the nonpartisan control of benevolent
institutions. He sees the vitals torn
from the precocious civil service infant
and the ideals it represents. He sees
a return to the old medieval theory OF
what's mine is mine and he sees disas-
ter for Indiana system of institutional
control.
Mr.. Foulke can paint the future upon
the same canvas that displays the past
of Indiana's institutional government
upon the principles of Mr.. Marshall
One of Mr. Foulke's firmest convictions
is in the right of civil service reform
and he sees the strangulation of this
child of his dreams, which the assumed
absolute form and life, in the success
of the Democratic candidate. Having
assumed an Independent attitude in
this campaign in the start, Mr.. Foulke
has been drawn forth by his fears fol
the life of the progeny of the civil
service commission as applied in states
and SO has come forth to meet Mr.
Marshall and declare him unfit to be
governor of Indiana.
