The United States has come into pos
session Of the Philippines and all tbs
political and strategical responsibilities
entailed by this movement. The particle
patton in, and suppression Of, the Boxer
rebellion. the expanding recognition Of
the supreme Importance to the future
Of American trade, of the open door, the
realization that, with the exception OF
Japan, no country is so well situated
as the United States, industrially and
geographically, to make the most and
the best of the development of China.
These and other events have trans
formed American Indifference to the
fortunes Of the Far East into real,
live, tingling and vigilant concern.
Logical Comm ercinl Events.
It did not need the Chinese boycott
Of American goods, or the outbreak OF
the trouble with Japan over the immi-
grafton question, to convince an impair
tial onlooker that Americas relations
with the powers Of the Far East would,
before long, be more immediate, OF
greater moment and possibly Of greater
hazard than our relations with the
powers of Europe The American feet
has foreshadowed the systematic asser-
ton of American power in the Pacific.
American interests in that ocean, COM
mercial, political and territorial, have
been neglected far too long.
Father of the Philippines.
Mr.. Taft Is in sense the father Of
the Philippines. 1t has been his kindly.
constructive statesman's hand that
evolved order out of their original
chaos. In his report submitted to Con-
gress, as result Of his visit to the
Philippines to be present at the opening
Of their first Assembly, he made four
recommended lions. First-action by Con-
gress admitting to the United States
Philippine products under such condi-
lions that they would not interfere
with American tobacco and sugar in
dustries; second, the removal of re-
strictions as to acquiring mining claims
and lands third, further legislation
authorizing the government to carry
on an agricultural bank, which Is now
authorized only as private enterprise :;
fourth, the repeal of the law applying
to the Islands the coastwise laws of
the United States.
Philosophy of Development.
Our nation has grown by obeying the
instinct Of development. We are to-day
entitled to be called Greater America,
but that greatness will be lost II we
forget the political philosophy which
has made US great-eXpansion Of Amer
lean thought, territory, mechanical SKILL
civilization and philosophy. This is an
suspicious time for the creation and de-
velopment Of our export trade. The I'M
explored and undeveloped markets Of
Asia furnish the opportunity. All other
fields have been occupied, and to at
tempt to wrest them from other nations
would be of doubtful expediency. In
the Orient the commercial possibilities
exceed the dreams of the optimist.
Are the American people ready to
abandon such a situation and leave it
to the mercy OF the Democratic party
with its failure of fifty years looking
at us from the past?

BROKEN HILLS FORWARDS
REGULAR ORE SHIPMENTS
Assays Show Average of $3.50 a Ton.
Eighteen Men Drift on a Wide
Body of Pay
Ore

GOLDFIELD, Oct. 25.-The Broken
Hills mine at Clifford is now shipping
steadily to the sampler at Millers, and
the grade of ore, according to mine
assays will average at least $3.50 a
ton. On company account there are
eighteen men on the payroll, and the
work of driving the drift in the ore
shoot at the 115-foot, or bottom, level
is being diligently prosecuted, and on
wide body of pay ore.
J. C. Mccormack, president and
manager of the company. arrived in
town recently from the mine.
1.-THE new road to the camp from
Goldfield," he said, (which some of the
papers have been pleased to call Nc
Cormack, is in fair condition. Two
men and two scrapers, with four horses
to drag them, will take the road early
next week I am going to make that
road the best one running into Cliff
ford and neighboring camps. 1t will
cut off the wagon haul at least day
from Goldfield, as it has been neces-
sary to take the TonOpah route here
tofore."

WINNEMUCCA LAKE STRIKE
ASSAYS S2700 TO THE TON

WINNEltUCCA, Oct. 17.-Bud Will
liams and Ted Brandon have returned
from the new strike at Winnemucca
lake, twenty-eight miles north of
Wadsworth. Williams says that the
Packard strike is good, two of the as
says going $1,000 and $2700 ton.
ton of ship. ing ore was taken out from
the grass roots down to depth of
five feet ard was sent to the sampling
works at Hazen last Sunday. The dirt
and ledge pan Ill the way Gcross.
The townsite of liightingals has been
laid out at a spring a mile and half
south of the strike. The strike IS
about three miles from Vinnemuccc.
lake, and the ore could easily be run
down on a tramway il a mine is de-
veloped.
Another strike has been made since
the rush, a mile and a half east of
the townsite by Kirk of Wadsworth
and Happy" Emerson, who worked for
the I. II. Kent company last summer.
They found rock that showed free
gold and dirt that p. ms well.
The country is all taken up. Bud
Williams, Ted Brandon, w. III. and
Frank Williams located one claim in
the vicinity of the original strike.
The strike is in the northeast corner
of Churchill county and just south
of the west end of Winnemucca lake.
A. w. Lofthouse, Ralph Lofthouse
and L. G. Leehouse visited the new
strike a week age. They say that
other strikes have been made and there
are about dozen tents and forty men
in the camp. The strike is about nine
miles from the 4yramid agency and
a mile and a half from Black Warrior
peak.

FOUR LONE MOUNTAIN
CLAIMS ARE PURCHASED
Property Bears Appearance of Mine.
Is Already Developed Ninety
Feet by Shaft Along
Vein

GOLDFIELD, Oct. 25.-R j. Shoe
maker and T. H. Condor have pur-
chased the controlling interest in a
group of four claims at Lone Mountain
which appear to have the making of
mine. The property has been de-
veloped to Spth of ninety feet
by a shaft which follows the vein
on a 45 degree dip and stringer of
ore on which the shaft was sunk has
increased in size to eighteen inches,
from which average sampl> give re-
turns of $45, principally in gold. The
quartz is impregnated with a decom-
posed iron and carries some lead and
about eight ounces silver. AS the rail-
road is but six miles distant, this
grade of ore will ship at a profit.
The big end of the proposition, how
ever, lies on the opposite side of the
mountain, where a ledge twenty-one
feet in width is being developed by a
tunnel which will afford 600 feet of
backs by driving a distance of 400
feet. This ledge is identical in ap-
pearance to the mother lode of Cali
fornia, in which the big gold mines
of that state are found, and can be
easily traced for 5000 feet. The vein,
which was developed through the in
clined shaft. dips toward the big ledge.
Shoemaker and Condor have contract
ed with the original locators to drive
this tunnel and will also begin the
extraction of ore from the shaft.

PICKS UP LOST VEINS
OF THE GARFIELD MINE

TONOPAH, Oct 25.-Twenty years
ago a London company known as the
Hampton Plain Exploration company
operated the Garfield mine, about
eighteen miles west of Nina. The
property produced about $2,000,0O0, as
shown by the books, from the Atherton
and Great Western veins, but they
lost both veins by reason of big
fault, and spent large sums of money
in an attmept to locate them, doing
over 800 feet of tunneling in the search.
Since then the property has been idle.
About six months ago e. G. Minare,
an eastern capitalist, together with
few associates purchased the property
and employed j. w. Chandler, super
intendent of the MacNamara mine, OF
Tonopah, to searci for the VEINS
Chandler is an expert in that line, and
after having read the signs on the
rocks ordered tunnel driven in GER
tain direction, and Ticked up the fault
. segment of the Atherton vein in ex-
actly fifty feet
He got shipping ore almost imme-
diately, and since that time has been
sending out an average of forty tons
of high grade lead and silver ore every
month. 1t is hauled to Nina, eighteen
miles, all down grade.

TRAMP CONSOLIDATED
. SHIPS A CAR OF ORE
TWENTY TONS WILL RUN AS
HIGH AS $3.50
Deep Development of the Tramp VIII
Determine Future of Bonanza
Mountain Section at
Bulfrog

RHYOLITE, Oct. 25.-Superintenden
Charles Garden of the Tramp Console
dated company billed out a carload of
ore last week to the Taylor g. Brunton
sampling works at Murray. Utah. The
shipment will r.,1 between 500 and $3.50
ton, with more than twenty tons In
cluded. This ore has been extracted
in raising from the $50 to the 300 level
in the Denver mines, from which one
carload has previously been shipped.
Some of the ore sacked was specimen
stuff, showing an abundance of free
gold, but Garden places the usual es-
innate upon the shipment as whole.
The gasoline hoist at the Tramp shaft
will be ready for commission within a
few days. The shaft has been sunk
sixty feet below the level, and is now
in formation foreign to anything
previously encountered in any portion
of the Tramp Consolidated estate. The
rock sharks of the district are not
agreed as to just what the formation
is, but presumably it is one of the nu-
merous ALTERED rhyolites' which are
found in this section. The material is
entirely different from the burnt rhyo-
lite above, and shows some tale. What
it will lead to is a matter for specu-
lation. but Garden is hopeful that there
will be a change in the character of
the vein and the ore and that water
level and sulphides will be encoun-
tered with a little more depth.
The sinking of the shaft at this point
is the first step in the scheme of get
ting deep development in the Tramp
Eclipse. The plan is to explore the
several lodges at depth, by crosscut-
ting at intervals of 100 feet from this
shaft which has a vertical depth at
this time of about 300 feet. The hoist
is being installed at the tunnel level,
$50 feet below the surface.
Garden will also crosscut from the
main tunnel and will resume stopping
in the Eclipse ground, from which con-
siderable shipping ore was mined last
spring. The stopping area above the
south drift of the Eclipse workings has
hardly been touched, there being a rich
streak of ore in sight, together with
quantities of milling ore that will pay
with treatment facilities close at hand.
The deep development of the Tramp
will be watched with interest and the
result will determine largely the future
of the Bonanza mountain section of the
RullfrOg district.

TIFFANY TO REOPEN
TURQUOISE DIGGINGS
WILL MINE 500 POUNDS OF
RARE GEMS
AT Market Price the Shipment Will
Approximate 100000 in Value.
Last Shipment Was 800
Pounds

OLD CRESCENT CAMP, Oct. 25.-
The famous turquoise diggings are to
be worked again by Tiffany & Co.
of New York, who will take out 500
pounds of the finest gems of this kind
in the world. The last time the claims
were opened, three months ago, 300
pounds were shipped east The gems
are found in the lime seams of quartz
and porphyry and near the surface.
Below fifteen feet the stones are
softer and undesirable.
The discoverer, miner named Sim
mons, is said to have taken profit
on 100000, but he did not live to en-
joy it. One day, some five years ago,
when he was driving out of Barnwell
with c. c. Smithsan (the latter still
a resident of Old Crescent, he was
waylaid by a miner, who claimed to
have been promised a share of the
Tiffany sale, and killed by a rifle shot
The gun mans claim was considered
just enough by such law as the coun-
try then afforded to warrant his ac-
quital.
As the price of turquoise now is
about 81 carat of four grains, the
500 pounds shipment will approximate
in value $1,000,000.

C. & A. BUYS TWO MINES
IN LEADVlLLE DISTRICT
Pays 100000 for Property Between
Germania and Great Western
Group Said to Be Very
Valuable

TOMBSTONE, Oct. 25.-Another i'm
portant mining deal is reported from
Leadville district indicating that the
c. & A. company regard that prom
ising section as a veritable storehouse
of copper deposits.
1t is said that the C. & A, through
its manager, L. w. Powell, has closed
a deal with the Leadville Mining COM
pany, and it's president, William
Holmes, for two mines of the Lead
Vile group for the sum of 5000, 900.
1t is said 10 per cent of the option
price was paid down, $4,000 being
paid upon signing of the papers, the
remainder to be forthcoming at the
expiration of one year. The mines are
located between the Germania and the
Great Western group and considered
exceptionally valuable ground.
c. & A. people lave explored. much
of the ground in the Leadville district
and the fact that they are acquiring
more mineral territory is certainly
good sign and means much for that
section.
The company will prosecute work on
it's newly acquired group with charac-
teristic energy.

capital and ready subsidy for the rail-
roads. When he entered the presidency
Mexico had but one railway Since
then, so rapid has been the advance,
nearly all the larger cities are con-
nected, and this largely by American
capital.
The American investments in Mexico
now amount to over $700,0O0,000. The
industrial and commercial prosperity of
Mexico has been greatly promoted by
American enterprise and Americans are
sharing largely in this result. The for
eign trade of the republic already ex-
ceeds $240, ,000, 900 per annum, and of this
two-thirds, both of exports and i'm
ports, are exchanged with the United
States
With the Hartman line running
through the richest district American
interests will be greatly benefited. 1t
is expected that the rich ore fields and
alfalfa lands will be developed and the
products brought into the United States
over this line.

NEXICO CITY, oct. 25.-At first ap-
wi pearance the $1O,OOO,0OO subsidy
AtA recently granted e. II. Harri-
man and his associates to build the
thousand miles of railwa.- connecting
the Sonora line with the Mexican Cen
trail along the west coast of Mexico,
seems to be out of proportion. When,
however, the cost of construction is
considered, combined with the inesti-
mable advantage to Mexico itself of
this railway, dollars and cents sink into
the background. The western states,
with their rich mineral products and
fertile soil only awaiting the hand and
capital of a Hartman to develop them,
will soon make up the $10,000,O00 for
Mexico. This strip of coast is consid-
cred the richest and most undeveloped
of all this wealthy country.
Since the accession of President Diaz
to the presidency in 1877, one of his
greatest factors in advancing Mexico
has been his encouragement of outside

EASTERN MAN APPLIES
FOR SILVER BOW OPTION

TONG -'AH, Oct. 2J.-Silver Bow, fifty
miles to the southeast of Tonopah. is
looking up, according to F. M. Doherty.
who has just arrived from that camp.
He says that much development work
is being done there and that a number
of eastern capitalists have been look
ing over the properties. They all say
that some of the finest assays they
have seen in any of the Nevada dis
tricts are secured from workings In
that section. One eastern man, who
has been investigating the Jennie X,
better known as the Shotgun claim. has
applied for an option on the property,
agreeing to spend $4,000 in develop
ment work On the property IL given the
lease 1t is understood that the lease
will be given and the development
work soon started.
The Sweet boys have just shipped a
carload OF ore from their lease on the
Silver Bow Belle to the Western Orc
Purchasing company at Goldfield, and
Doherty says the ore will run some-
thing like $3.50 to the ton.
