THE FOURTH OF JULY.

Among people of very diverse views regarding the most fitting way of ob- serving this day, 1t is to be expected that a considerable number will give expression to their exuberant feeling in the most demonstrative way possible. Noise becomes prominent feature. though happily modified by the action of the city authorities in the interest sane and safe" Fourth.
 But really the historical meaning of he day is calculated to induce a re- nective state of mind and to beget a sense of humility and dependence as a nation on the Almighty. Such an at titude of mind Is not incompatible with he general rejoicing over the progress that has been made as nation. It IS In a way a reflection of the very atti- Jude of mind with which the fathers of inc nation considered the Declaration nf Independence. It was a time Of trial and the forming of lofty and de- finite purposes. A new system Of mod ern self-government was to be under taken and a singular miseion given to tho fathers to demonstrate the effici- ency of the democratic principle.
 Reside their consciousness of depend snce for special illumination in their stupendous task; courage and faith were prominent clements in their un- dertaking. But those qualities dis played at the beginning are precisely those needed today. The demonstra- lion of the efficiency of democratic gov ernment is still under way. The new CT problems may appear to be new in character but their right solution will he both a test and triumph of demo- cratic principle.
 The immortal Declaration demanded the Independence of the several states and since then the political processes have been developing a sense of national unity. while determining at the same time the proper rights and Jurisdiction of the states. Emerson once said: "Ours cannot continue 10 be the age of the first person singular" The po- lltical personality of each state Is merged in we, the United States, one l. and inseparable."
 With this sense of unity and depend- ence on the spiritual forces that are shaping political action with courage in meeting the problems peculiar to this age and faith in larger civic life than ever, one may mark time this Fourth with considerable satisfaction In the quiet reflections of his mind, not withstanding the distracting noises with which others may choose to dis play their patriotism. But when lt comes to the objective duties of citizen ship, 1t may be we'll to heed that DOT ton of the Declaration of Independence which has peculiar value for every time of national trial: Prudence, in. deed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes A na' ton must obey it's laws of growth ant cannot safely be forced in the process Whatever of good has been accom-. :. plished must be conserved and be. comes the foundation for future build. ing.

RAMSEY COMSTOCK HAS
IMMENSE ORE RESERVES


ent OF the railroads and smeiters Plans
and specifications for a mill are now be-
ing drawn, and as soon as machinery
and material can be procured, work will
be commenced.
The camp generally is looking fine.
There have been at least twelve new
discoveries made in the past two
months by prospectors while doing as
sessment work. all showing rich free
gold on the surface, and some specimen
ore running as high as $1,000 or $4,000
to the ton.
Ray Robinson and associates have
made a rich discovery and are sacking
ore about one and half miles from the
Ramsey Comstock. They found the ore
and waited for the rainbow chaser" to
fail to do his assessment work, and
located II on January 1st.
The Walkover is still getting out rich
ment work. pursuing the same plans
carried out by the Ramsey Comstock
of thoroughly developing their mine and
saying very little about 1t. Some OF
the heaviest mining men in the state
are interested in this property.
The Ramsey Bros. have uncovered
some very rich ore on several of their
groups while doing their annual work.
Some heavy weight mining men have
recently been looking the camp over,
and there is no doubt that ii will be
