Do Something" Message.

The Presidents last special mes sage is notably short, but 1t has the merit of directness.
 It should become known as the Do Something message. and as sucn be accepted as timely rebuke TOT the Do Nothing policy that has pre- vailed, and is prevailing against ms protest and that of the minority.
 He recommends number of laws that appear to be most needful at this time to restore general condi- tion of equilibrium.
 He recommends:
 Prohibition of child labor.
 Employers liability law.
 Restriction of labor injunctlons.
 That antitrust law be amended. :,
 Enactment of laws protecting all legal combinations of capital ana oi labor.
 That the tariff be revised.
 That permanent waterways com mission be created.
 Establishment of postal savings banks
 That wood pulp be put on the free list.
 Each one of these laws is demand ed for the good of the country; then shall Congress sit supinely by, draw it's S7,500 per capita annually, and wait "a more opportune time.
 It is criminal, and if the President can only wield his Big Stick so effectively that they will do some thing worth while instead of foollng away all their time over a nocus- pocus financial bill, he will be for given many of his foibles.
 DO SOMETHING. A rkan a Democrat.

Arrivals from Park City are telling
mighty good stories about developments
in the Scott Hill section of the camp.
The recent strike in the Iowa Copper
companys property is said to be turning
out bigger and better every day. while
the ground of the Copper Apex company,
adjoining bids fair to step into the lime
light this year as one of the best pro-
ducers of that section.
Several big shipments were made from
the Copper Apex last year, though the
deepest opening in the property was only
175 feet below the surface. Late last sea-
son a new tunnel was started in on the
vein and it has now been completed for
over 600 feet. Another 100 feet will carry
down in the older workings and at an ad-
ditional depth of $50 feet. This means
that. within few weeks time, the COM
psny will have opened up over $50 feet
of new stopping ground and have things
in readiness for making a steady and
large output during the seven or eight
months that the roads will be open to
heavy hauling
Since the Silver King Coalition COM
pany has been making such remarkably
rich strikes in the southern portion of its
property al great depth, all the Thane' :
canyon-Scott Hill region has taken on
new life and everybody is hustling to get
work started for this year. 1t is believed
that some great mines are going TO be
proven during the present year and the
opinion seems to be fully justified by
the record that the Copper Apex and Iowa
companies are making. The Scottish Chief
is also counted upon to get to the front
this year.

TO have been expected.
j. r. Sweeney of the Davis-Loftus COM
bination of Goldfield has gone in with
Louis D., Gordon I'm the purchase of the
81. Paul Fraction group. and Mr.. Snyder
says that the ground is all right. Good
people were elamorihg for leases on it and
some two or three. Mr.. Snyder thought,
had been given, but whether the owners
proposed to give more or not he did not
know.
1T would not be right to say that we
have the same kind of a boom at Gold
circle that they have at Rawhide,' saio
Mr.. Snyder land we don't want one.
People who are going into Gold Circle are
staying there; the district is proving up
as rapidly as could be expected, and the
character of the ore and the general min
eraiization of the country offers most
tempting chances to operate at a profit.
Material is being hauled in and buildings
are going up as fast as lumber can be Sc
cured. Tents are utilized temporarily but
it will not be long till all kinds of accom-
modations are obtainable there.
Mr.. Snyder is now interested in three
different propositions at camp, and says
he is going back there just as quick as
he can attend to business matters here
and get away again.

ELY WILL BE LIVELY
DURING THE SUMMER

w. A. Scott. the travelling representa-
tive of the Mining g. Scientific Press. has
returned from a six weeks trip through
Nevada camps. He comes direct from
Ely and states that that camp will be a
most busy beginning with July.
by July" said Mr.. Scstt yesterday,
the great milling and smelling works at
McGill will be handling ore in pretty good
shape and the mines will be producing
heavily. One section of the milling plant
is ready to treat ore now, but there is
not much TO be gained by starting up
too soon. 1t is aimed to get under good
Roadway In time to send the product to
the smelter, and, as that viii not be
ready to treat ore and concentrates be-
fore July, there VIII not be much doing
in the mill for a month yet other than
to possibly try out the machinery and
run enough ore through TO make adjust
ments.
Ely is a great district, the ores are
found over a large area and the camp
is destined TO become a most productive
one. Everything is shaping up in splen-
did style for the period of production
and large earnings by the principal COM
panies and, within another month or two
the world will begin to appreciate what
the district really is through the showing
that will be made by the Nevada Consoli-
dated and Cumberland-Ely."
Mr.. Scott states, also, that great deal
of interest is being taken in the new gold
discoveries in the Egan range, about
twenty-five miles from Ely. 1t looks, he
says, as though good gold milling camp
would result, as there is water there with
which to treat the ores.

the map and its compilation is the work
of Deputy Surveyor W. S. Stewart, whose
chief source of information was the rec

While the country is a large one, alto
gether too large for a map covering five

of them.

BULL VALLEYS
GOLD LEOGES
"BulIfrog" Clark Describes the
Original Strike in Letter
to The Herald.

Writing to The Herald from st. George
under date of Wednesday, II. n. jbull-
frog Clark, who has gone south TO IN
stall his big drilling rig in the virgin OIL
field, has the following to say concerning
the gold discovery in the Bull Valley re-
gion, thirty-five miles north of St George,
that is now attracting so much attention:
"A prospector from California, by the
name of FarnsWOrth. had learned that
float had been found on Bull mountain.
He camped there and, by panning the dirt
on the mountain side. located the vein.
and upon doing a little work, found the
pay shoot, which is very rich, some OF the
rock going in the thousands. In one sack
of the ore he has over $500. and out OF
hole less than five feet deep he has taken
over thousand dollars. He PANIED out
about 500 from the fine stuff without
pounding up the rock. The vein is about
three feet, and has a slate hanging wall,
andeSite footwall.
THE country is almost a duplicate of
the GOldfield district and since he made
his find the country is full of prospectors,
and many lodges carrying good values
have been found and, unless all signs fail.
this country will see great excitement
soon Already several Nevada mining
men have arrived. and the roads are
lined with all kinds of outfits. DR.. Ben
son and myself have a number of fine
looking claims and will proceed to de-
velop them at once.
Our new oil well rig will land on the
ground tomorrow, and we will soon be
drilling. There is considerable new work
being done i'm the oil fields. and as the
spring is now here, there will be many
new rigs i'm the field. The weather here
is simply grand. Trees are in full bloom
and the gardens are growing.
Il have Travelled pretty much all over
the civilized world, but have never been
in place where more hospitality was
shown strangers than in st. George. Ev-
cry one seems to think that it is his or her
special duty to make the stranger feel at
home.
I'VE will leave for the oil field to-
morrow. Then we will be isolated and
will not know much about what is trans
piring in the outer world for some months.
but as We will get The Herald once a
week we will try not to shy at the street
cars when we come out"

BOOM COMING
FOR STATEL|NE
Tony Jacobson Returns an Ac-
tive Champion for the Rich
Gold-SiIver Region.

Tony Jacobson returned yesterday
morning from a several days trip into the
Goldspring- Fay-Deer Lodge-Stateline
country in Iron county. He had not been
there a day. hardly, until he had bought
in with some prospectors and he admits
having deal or two incubating which,
if consummated, will make him one of
the chief figures in that gold-silver-bear-
ing region.
II have knocked around a good many
mining camps and prospected in numerous
sections during my time" said Mr.. ia
cobson yesterday afternoon, but | have
never yet been in any place that ap-
pealed to me as this one does If some
things happen down there pretty soon
which ii seems to me will happen, there
will be the widest rush to secure prop
erty down there the mining world ever
saw. The country is so richly mineralized
that you can pick up rock anywhere in a
radius of ten miles square that will as
say. There are not less than twenty great
lodges running through that section and
in places they crop out of the ground for
forty feet. Erosion has caused their bur
ial in some places for long distances, but
after a while, when their trends have been
better determined by work done where
they crop out, and with a few new and
important discoveries, strike after strike
will be made in places where. at the pres
ent time no one thinks of disturbing the
ground.
81 have seen enough during my short
trip to convince me that some of the big
gest gold and silver mines in this country
are going to be made down in that sec
ton. Here is some ore from a property
being opened up by Phil Beck at Deer
Lodge. As you can see IL is literally filled
with horn silver. 1t also runs high in
gold. Such a piece as this would assay
anywhere from s., 800 to 5000 ton. He is
sacking ore that averages $500 ton and
might sort 1t a great deal closer than that
if he cared to. There is no trouble at all
in finding lodges down there that run
from forty to 200 feet wide, with every
foot producing ore that will assay we'll
1t is the coming district of this state
sure"
