California People
Sizing up Buckskin

W. L. Kneale and Chas. Schreiber have
been the company's men on the ground,
in fact they have carried out the plan of
development on these properties with
good results. On the Pittsburg group
shaft is down 40 feet and from the indi-
cations at this point the property looks
very encouraging On the Alaska group
a shaft is down 81 feet with good show
ngs as result of that depth. The work
done on the Sea Gull group consists only
of shaft down Is feet, but it is the
company's intention to center their at
tention for the present on this group.
On this group they have some very good
sliowings, and although they do not
claim to have ledge of any great di-
mensions, they do say that they have
vein of good width which gives values.
The formation of the ground OH this
group is lime and porphyry.
1t is the intentions of the company to
resume operations on these claims within
the very near future, with the idea of
doing strict development work

r. w. Ruyle, veterinary surgeon,
while doctoring a sick horse at the
Gregory ranch in the lower end of the
valley Monday, was kicked in the head
by the animal. The cork of the horses
shoe caught Mr.. Ruyle little to the
side OF the left temple, cutting the flesh
to the bone. The force of the blow
knocked him several feet, and had lie
been braced the accident would probably
have proven fatal. AS it is the wound
is painful one, and one which necessi-
tated medical attendance.

A roller skating rink was opened in
Yerington last Thursday by III. A. Smitl +,
who came from Nina, New, where he
had been conducting a similar business.
Lam's old store building has been
cleaned and fixed up for the purpose
and is desirable place for the rink. 1t
is Mr.. Smiths intention to have two
sessions of the rink day, one in the
afternoon from p. nj. to p. M, and
the other from O'Clock in the. evening
until 10 p. III. A rink promises to do
we'll in this city, and as everything
has been fixed up neatly, seats having
been arranged for spectators and general
accommodations having been made for
the public, the rink should become a
popular resort

GOOD SPECIMENS OF
DISTRICTS ORE
SHIPPED.

Last Saturday a collection of speci-
mems speaking for the resources of this
great district, were shipped to New
York as a copper exhibit from this sec
ton of the State. Specimens of azurite,
malachite, bornite. sulphides, chalcocite,
chalcopyrite and native copper were in
the collection and all we're fair specimens
of this distric's resources. Principally
among the collection was piece from
the Ludwig mine, weighing $50 pounds,
which was the prettiest specimen in the
shipment, and one which we predict will
outclass any specimen of copper ore
placed on exhibition in New York next
month. Almost every mine in the dis
trict will be represented with some piece
of its own ore, and at present it is need
less to say that the specimens from this
great copper region will rank among the
best at the exposition.
. r. Leslie SMALL, who made the col
lection of the copper ore, is at present
gathering specimens of the gold re-
sources of this district which he will
take back to the exposition when he
goes. which will be within the next week
or so. These two exhibits of ore should
open the eyes of the easterner to what
the Yerington district holds in store, and
we see no reason to believe that the
country will not be benefited by the
| exhibit.

A man by the name of Walker fell
down shaft at Reservation yesterday
and broke his neck. AS to how he came
to fall into the shaft is not understood,
unless it was done with suicidal inten-
tons.
His identity is not known, except that
he gave his name to several parties about
town early in the day as Walker. Every
effort is being put forth to learn his rel
atives, and if i'll vain. lie will be buried
at Reservation tomorrow.

property.
Facts concerning the proposed pur
chase are neagre, but is understood that
d. A. Mckenzie is the Goldfeld mine
promoter backing the project. 1t has
also been intinated that the Rocky Point
mill at Dayton is to be renovated and
that tramway is to built from the mine
at Silver to the mill at Dayton.
This proposed project means much for
Dayton, and if carried through it will
mean the reviving of both Dayton and
Silver City this summer.

width Of the ledge assayed $3.50. On
the 100 foot level several hundred thous-
and dollars have been taken out, and it
was after the same vein that yielded such
values in former days that drifting on
the 200 foot level was started. The ore
on the 100 foot level went $40 ton with
ledge of it four feet wide. 1t is
thought that the vein recently encoun-
tered OF the 200 foot level is blind
ledge and that from the dip of the orig
iual ledge on the 100 foot level they do
not expect to cut it for a considerable
distance vet.
At present ]. Z. Lockwood the former
owner of the property, has force of
men at work opening up the mine and
since recent development has produced
such values, the experimental work OF
the mine has been done, the value Of the
mine now being proven.
At present it is estimated that there
is enough ore blocked out to keep a
small mill running for some little time.
Mr.. Yost's principal object in visiting
the property was to select a millsite
upon which the company expects shortly
to erect a small mill.

CLARK MAKES THREE
Big DEALS AT
BOVARD

From present indications, il nothing
unforeseen happens, G. X. Clark will
pull up stakes at Camp Bovard with a
neat little fortune. Last week he bonded
three different groups of claims in the
new camp for goodly sums. The Livery
Boy group consisting of three claims was
bonded to Storms, Baker, Adams and
Moody fer $25,000. The Rose group
which is on the same ledge as the Gold
Fen group upon which the good strike
was made last week, was bonded for
S1S,OOO by Clark to eastern capital.
Lastly he sold to Oakland people the
Valley View group consisting of three
claims for the neat sum OF $4,000
On all of these claims good ore has
been found on the surface and on the
Valley View group sulphides going
better than S12 ton in gold was found
on the surface. The ledge on all of
these three groups of claims are some
several feet in width.
The following Yerington people are in
business in the new camp: c. B. Wise
man Is running saloon as is A. A.
Sunblaw. Wamack and Young are
leasing in Spring Gulch near town.
Harry Cole also has lease on some
promising ground. Archer and Ehrman
are leasing on ground adjoining the
Gold Pen property.
A conservative estimate places the
population of the new town at 400 people
who are either engaged in mining or
business.

The Naval Gun Foundry.

1t should be tile settled policy of the
government to maintain the Washington
naval gun foundry at the highest state
OF efficiency compatible with it's estab-
lished program of providing naval arma-
ments- In other words, il should manu-
facture at the Washington yard which
is the result of years of labor and repre-
sents the highest type of efficiency, all
the guns and mounts required for the
American navy. This policy should be
pursued primarily for the benefit of the
government itself and Secondarily for the
benefit of the capital community, which
the United States has taken under its
particular and exclusive Jurisdiction and
which is dependent for its welfare and
prosperity largely upon the activities of
the public service.
There is only one acceptable excuse
for. reduction of the navy yard force
the absolute failure of appropriations
There is no such excuse for the reduc-
lions of the force which have already
occurred during the present calendar year
and for that which is now announced to
take effect on the first of January. If the
government had adhered TO the policy
OF concentrating all its work at the navy
yard there would today be an assured
prospect OF sufficient funds to maintain
the present force until the end of the
fiscal year The government has how
ever. diverted a considerable part of the
naval armament work to a private fac
tory. or "A l2-inch guns appropriated
for, have been given TO the Bethle-
hem Steel Works; of 10 S-inch guns .

more than 33 per cent have been allotted
to a private firm while the government

work.

Chairman Stellwagen.

Assuming that the citizens of Washing
ton will manage the ceremonies on the
next Inauguration day, as they have in
the past Chairman Hitchcock could not
possibly have chosen a more capable
or acceptable man to lead in the work
than Edward j. StelwaSen whose seec-
ton is announced today. Mr.. Stellwagen
combines all the essential qualities for
such task as that TO which he has
been assigned. He is Washingtonian by
birth and uninterrupted residence. He is
thoroughly conversant with the Inaugural
ton procedure and enjoys the full con-
fidence OF the community, He is widely
popular personally and is closely identified
with the business community of which
he is a consp.cuously successful member.
He will be zealously assisted by the citi-
zens, whom he invites to participate in
the work of preparation, and If Congress
will promptly grant the necessary legisla-
tive authority for the use of a public

is that it is important for the govern
nlent to encourage privately-owned gun
foundries so that there may be reserve
in case OF war. AS matter of fact this
is not requisite. Any we'll equipped steel
plant can with the necessary "jigS' and
force of competent workmen turn out
government gun work at short notice.
These ''jigs' or patterns, it is stated by
those conversant with the process of
gun manufacture. are all made at the
Washington navy yard. Thus. as long
as the Washington navy yard remained
competent to produce the patterns it
would be possible in case of emergency
to secure from the private mills of the
country ali the gun work required by the
government. -
The vitality important factor in this
equation is the expert artisan. and it is
undeniably to the interest of the govern
ment that there should be maintained
here in Washington not only a thor
oughly equipped mechanical plant, but
large body Of competent workmen ready
for service. In view of the fact that
the government has both by restrictive
legislation and by the failure to enact per
missive and encouraging legislation pre-
vented the development here of an in
dustrial community. and that in conse-
quence it's own factories offer practically
the only local market for skilled labor, it
is the paramount duty of the government
to do everything possible to maintain
here the industrial population from which
it must draw from time to time to supply
its own needs 1t cannot do this if it
Systematically minimiZes the work at the
navy yard by giving contracts to private
concerns, and thus keeps the force of ex-
perts in a state of unsettlement and de-
pletion.
The welfare of Washington in this con-
nection is not necessarily of weight with
the government, whose requirements are
alone sufficient to dictate a change from
the present policy OF diverting work from
the navy yard. But the local interests
are nevertheless closely identified with
the interests of the government, and in
this connection the people of Washing
ton enter their emphatic protest against
the continued inroads upon an industrial
community which stands for the adyan-
tage not only of the District of Columbia,
but of the United States as we'll

Carnegie.

Chairman Payne was right in inviting
Mr.. Carnegie TO appear before the ways
and means committee The ironmaster
knows great deal about the tariff, and
those who are to draw the new tariff bill
should have the benefit Of his information.
II is nothing 10 the point that Mr.. Car
negie was once of a different opinion as
TO the steel schedule. The point is. what
are his present views, and what brought
him to entertain them? Revision of the
tariff, in order to satisfy the country,
must reflect as far it is possible to
ascertain it the experience of the whole
business world. 1t is business PROPOSE
ton. and the business of the country de-
ponds very much upon the proper solution
of 1t.

Inauguration Expenses.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


The District of Columbia is once more
agitating for an appropriation by Con-
gresS to pay the expenses of the lnaugu-
ration on the 4th of March next. Probably
many persons imagine that the nation does
pay for this pageant, but it does not give a
penny. The entire expense is assumed
by the residents of the District of Co
lumbia, and it is a big sum for a COM
munity that has little commerce.
All the money for parades. etc, is
furnished by the citizens through sub
scriptions. save what can be secured by
selling seats on grandstands and tickets
to the so-called inaugural ball
OF course the states which send mill
tary organizations to participate pay their
way, but at the same time the District
committee has to do something toward
entertaining them. The cost has become
a burden and really it ought to be made
a national affair. The District needs no
advertising, and it gets mighty little
business out of the affair. 1t is a ma
tional function and Congress ought to be
willing to stand for the necessary eX-
penSeS.

The Big BOYS.

Our infant industries Of the past have reached
Carnegie.
They're not the fragile darlings that they
were in days gone by:
They're a lot of husky youngsters with
an appetite for pie.
The roaring of the furnaces that wear a
molten glow
Shows that their wind is strong and that
their pulses are not slow.
They've often been the envy of an older
enterprise,
For they're lusty in the struggle where a
dollar is the prize.
And, somewhat unaccustomed to the ways
of polished ease
They reach for what they're wanting
without saying 'if you please"
So toss away their bonnet strings and
cut their curly hair
And let their sleeveless arms be shown all
muscular and bare.
From fond parental care we must release
them for the strife;
We don't want mollycoddles even in COM
mercal life.

Publicity and the Campaign.

If the margin of victory had been mar
row-Judge Taft defeating Mr.. Bryan by
what is called cratch'-Treasurer
Sheldon's report would have been re-
ceived by the democrats with large
and vociferous fncredulity. 1t would have
been asserted that such a result could
not have been obtained in the circum-
stances by any such outlay. If 1T took
millions upon millions of money to
elect Mckinley over Bryan and Roose-
welt over Parker, was it reasonable TO
suppose that only sixteen hundred thou
sand dollars stayed the tremendous Bryan
tide shown to have been running? Nay.
nay Let Mr. Sheldon take his little
story to the marines.
But the victory was so overwhelming
it cannot be ascribed to bribery. The
presidency surely cannot be bought for
thirty cents And sixteen hundred thou
sand dollars would be no bid in an auction
of that kind. 1t would not be cried. The
figure would be an affront.
But how about the charge that Nc
kineys two elections and Roosevelt s
one were bought, and that millions upon
millions of money were spent in the
transaction? Upon what does it rest?
made only the exigencies of politics and
the spirit of poor losing. No facts in
support of the charge were ever offered.
The yarns, gorgeously decorated, were
put out and ran prosperous course.
Often repeated, they made i'm
preston. and ut last began to figure
in serious discussion. Men quoted them
as revealing an alarming rottenness
menacing TO the nation.
The elimination was the cry for pub
licity. a good cry in itself, it yet pro-
duced no propositions that looked ade-
qUate 10 the correcting of a giant evil
and it had the misfortune to attract the
support of some men whose records in
politics could but injure any cause looking
TO the Punishment of Doodle from cleo
tons. And Congress, very properly, left
the subject open for further inquiry.
Mr.. Bryan thought he was scoring
heavily when he ordered his party to re-
port its receipts before election day. But
he was mistaken. To the extent that he
had imagined, the country had not ac-
copied the statement that the presidency
had three times running been bought,
and was in danger of being sold fourth.
Now to the two reports. The repub-
lican national committee received about
sixteen hundred thousand dollars, the
democratic committee about six hundred
thousand. But those figures do not rep
resent all the money that was spent in
the campaign Some of the state cleo
lions, and especially where the saloons
were active, must have been expensive;
and money spent on state tickets did its
share in promoting The fortunes of the
kindred national ticket.
Still, when everything has been taken
into account, it is PLAIN that corruption
did not stalk abroad in this latest cam
paign. and the conclusion seems sale that
it did not stalk abroad in the campaigns
of 1896, 1900 and 1904. Publicity is all
right, and serves good purpose. but,
alone, it will not eliminate money as an
improper agency in our elections. The
problem remains unsolved.

Business Is Aggressive.

From the Tacoma Ledger.
When men now refer to business the
tone of conversation is not the same as
il was before election. 1t is confident
and aggressive. Before it was hesitatins
and doubtful Hesitancy is giving away
rapidly to aggressiveness. The business
world was righting itself before the
election. The effects of the panic were
disappearing by degrees, but the prox-
unity of the election prevented the
prompter recovery that has been evident
since the result of the election was
known and Judge Taft announced in a
Cincinnati speech that business conducted
legally had nothing to fear.

The Easy Riches Bait.

From the Baltimore American.
Inquisitive police have shattered another
uuick-riches bubble. The exploiter OF
mines who has been arrested in New
York followed much the beaten track OF
many before him. who have proceeded
upon the assumption that the public will
permit any man to make a fortune who
will circulariZe himself. The rogue in
question was as slick in phrasing catchy
letters as any of the oily fraternity who
have soaked the suckers So he angled
in big streams and little. He was mostly
found in the big streams. however. as
the casting of the bait with persstency
worthy of a better cause for the mil
lionaire magnates demonstrates. It might
be laid down as a general principle that
a circular from an unknown individual,
who places before the recipient any
project of which it is claimed there is
a gold mine in it," should be avoided.
