Gov. Hughes of New York was given a
rousing reception last night in Baltimore
at a big republican meeting in Richmond
Market Hail He said il was the banner
meeting of all those he had addressed so
far in this campaign. II wound up a
strenuous day of campaigning that be-

MORE FORAKER LETTERS
In speech III Denver last night Will
liam r. Hearst read two more letters
from John d. ArchbQld to Senator For

also had the following TO say of the

II dislike Mr. Roosevelt personally and
have every reason TO dislike him. When
l was running for governor of New York
Mr.. Roosevelt sent his present mouth
piece Tweeds defender into New York "a
say what was false about me and what
Mr.. Roosevelt knew to be false. II ever

with Mr. Roosevelt when he has ceased to
be President l shall do with peculiar
satisfaction. But while Mr.. Roosevelt
is President OF the United States my at
iitude toward him is that of any ioya
citizen of the United States.
TAFT ACCEPTS CHALLENGE
Candidate Taft yesterday in Bryan's
home town of Lincoln, Neb.. accepted the
democratic nominees challenge and came
cut squarely in favor of the position OF
President Roosevelt onN the question o.
campaign publicity. Said MIR. Tart:
"A rigid law requiring the publication
i'm detail of contributions and expendl
lures within ten days after the eiection
so that the public may know where tht
money came from, how much came no"
much was expended and for what II Wa
expended is all that public policy REQUIRES
Mr. Bryan looks rather to the pun,Ica
ton of such contributions for platform
purposes and references than TO the nlaii
purpose of the publicity law.

FLORENCE ANNEX SHIPS
TWO CARS OF $1,000 ORE
In This and Florence Gem the Smith
Syndicate Possesses Two
Great Gold Pro-
ducers

GOLDFIELD, Feb. Ex-senator Dix
w. Smith and associates, owners of the
Florence Annex and Florence Gem,
possess two tremendous bonanzas, ac-
cording to recent developments. The
Annex is today loading two cars of ore
that will run much better than $1,000 to
the ton. 1t is unnecessary to obtain
an assay of a piece of rock from the
rich shoot to determine its worth, for
the gold shows for itself and the ore
gilstens with tellurides.
According to Senator Smith it has
cost the company $4,000 to pick up this
ore shoot. Sufficient rock can be ex-
tracted in a few shifts to recoup the
company.
The richest ore from the Annex Is
being extracted in a winze and upraise
connecting the third and fourth floors.
On the fifth level a crosscut is being
thrown out to intercept the shoot. The
shaft is now down to the 520-foot point.
Operations on the Gem will actively
resume early next week. This lease Is
a vertical gem" as the ore shoot on
the $50 level is sixty feet wide and is
estimated to average $62 for its entire
width. A crosscut will be run on the
250-foot level to intercept the ore body
at greater depth and provide stopping
room, The Gem has five months to
run. The lease was granted verbally
by Mr.. Lockhart and only yesterday
were the papers signed, sealed and de-
liVered.

TELLS OF CONDITIONS
IN FAR OFF SYRIA

S C. Gilman, who has lately re-
turned from Syria, where he was as
ISOLATED for several years with the
American Mission Press at Beirut, de-
livered an address before the young
PEOPLES society in the Immanuel Pres
byterian church yesterday afternoon,
in the course of which he said
''Syria, lying on the borders OF the
Holy Land and closely associated with
sacred history, is today an apJec1
province in the Turkish empire. It's
people are greatly Impoverished anu
suffering from the most despotic form
of government. In the midst of these
conditions the missionaries from the
" estern world, from Europe and Eng
land and America, have planted their
institutions and are doing much for the
people.
"The people of Syria comprise both
Mohammedans and Christians, using
the terms in a political rather than
religious sense in Distinguishing one
class from the other.
'In Turkey, however, mans poll
ties is his religion; the sultan is the
head of both church and state, repre-
senting Allah upon earth, and church
and state are SO united that if a Mo-
hammedan should forsake his religion
he would be guilty of treason as we'll
as PROSECUTING, and treason would be
punishable by death. While the Chris
tan subjects are heavily taxed toward
the support of the government, they
have little voice in it's affairs, ana,
while Mohammedan institutions are
maintained, absolutely nothing is fos-
tered for the public good in the Chris
tians' behalf, such as schools. hos
ritals and the like. All these are car
ried on by outside forces. The Ameri-
cans have built up large college IN
Beirut, where there are about $50 stu
dents in attendance; there is also
school for girls, and the publishing
house, issuing books and periodicals In
the language OF the people. SCHOOLS
and missions and hospitals are also
conducted by the Americans IN nripor'
cidon and the Lebanon region"

KEANE WONDER HAS
NEW WATER SUPPLY
NEW PIPE LINE WILL GIVE ALL
THAT is NEEDED
Economies Resulting VIII Make a Net
Saving of Thousands Each
Month-Prospects Are
Good

BULLFROG, Feb. 23.-At last the
Keane Wonder mine and mill manage
ment has solved the water question to
its complete satisfaction. and as soon
as a 2500-foot pipe line is laid the own
ers will have more water than they can
use.
A shaft was recently started to in
crease the supply of water, as up to
that time they were experiencing some
trouble in getting enough to keep the
mill running the full twenty-four hours
per day BY repumping they have been
able to run five twenty-four days, and
two sixteen-hour days each week.
The new shaft has reached a depth
of forty-flve feet, and has struck big
flow of water, which undoubtedly will
give them more than they can possibly
used when added TO the old supply. 1t
will be necessary to construct pipe
line $500 feet, installing a gas engine
and pump to handle the water.
The cost of mining and milling the
ore in the past has figured $3.50 per
ton, but when the new pumping system
is installed they expect to be able to
reduce the cost to $3.50 per ton. The
ore has averaged $3.50 in gold per ton,
which has given handsome profit even
under the old arrangement.
The mill handles from seVenty~five to
eighty tons per day, but allowing five
tons per day for the time lost on ac-
count of the scarcity of water a daily
average of seventy tons, making the
total amount of ore treated per month
of thirty days 2100 tons may be COM
puted Taking the average values pei
ton at $3.50 and deducting $3.50 for
mining and milling charges, they have
net saving of $1,000 per ton, or $22, $50
for the months run.

RIVERSIDE MINES ARE
PREPARING FOR WORK

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 23.-The American
Flag mine, in the southeastern part OF
Riverside county, is soon to go on
the list of producers. C. l.. Austin,
who has had supervision of the work.
says that he has just completed the
installation of a water system, ana
the company's new mill will begin to
hammer out the yellow metal just as
soon as he can get back to the mine.
Mr.. Austin states that the American
Flag mine has ore enough in sight to
keep its new mill busy for a year
or longer, and it is his belief that the
Flag will make name that River
side county can well be proud of.
The -Stanchfield people, stu
ated near the Flag mine, are preparing
to install hoist, and it is their inten-
ton to push the development on their
property as fast as possible. They
have arranged to have their ore treated
at the Flag mill until they are in a
position to put in a plant of their own.
The other prospects, up and down
the river, are keeping up their assess
ment work and waiting until money is
to be had with which to open up their
properties.

RAWHIDE is PROVING
A MINING SENSATION
Only Five Months Old, 1t Exceeds
Tonopah in Population-Many
Sales at Fancy Prices
Made

The camp of Rawhide is the sensation
of the day in the mining world. only
FIVE monthcs old, it is now as large in
point of population as 17-year-old Ton
opah. --latest estimates place 1000 peo-
pie there, and fifty to one hundred new
Corners are arriving daily. At this rate
it will soon surpass Goldfield. In fact
the laurels of Goldfield as a producer
of the yellow metal are said to be al
ready in danger.
No one coming out of the young camp
has said that the marvellous stories
about the richness of the ground have
been exaggerated. The only warning
note yet sounded has been to the man
without means going there, and to the
miner looking for employment. Work.
,ngmen have been advised to keep out
of Rawhide, as there is declared to be
no opening for skilled mining labor.
Most of the owners of claims and the
majority of leasers are working the
properties themselves.
over 500 leasers are working on Bal
Icon hill and Grutt hill, the two rich
est sections, which lie close to the
tcwnsite. Five shipments of ore have
been made from the camp. the Grutt
lease No. / having sent out rock that
averaged better than 500 to the bag
of eighty pounds, or $4,000 to the ton.
But of course this was selected rock.
The Proskey lease has shipped ore that
ran from S. to $65 per pound, and the
Kearns lease has sent out sixty tons
that averaged better than $500 ton.
It is said that about 5000 tons aver
aging over $50 per ton has been piled
on the dumps on these two hills await
ing mill treatment. Four mills are
already on the way to accommodate
the producers of the district, and
among the owners of the plants is
saltwater Bill'' Gates of Klondike
fame, who has ten-stamp mil in the
nearby camp of Schurz awaiting the
freighters. fifteen-stamp fill with
concentrating and cyaniding attach
ments is on the way from Salida,
Colo, for Rawhide.
A correspondent at the camp says:
Three important sales of property
have been made within the past month,
81 per cent of the Royal Tiger group
having been sold for $4,000, while the
Balloon group, embracing only part
of Balloon hill, consisting Of four
claims and four fractions, and having
twenty-seven working leases, including
the rich Kearns lease, was sold to
the Rawhide Queen Mines company for
$3.50, 900, the first payment being $4,000
cash. This property is now held at
100000. For Grutt hill, consisting of
ffty-three acres, $750.000 is asked"
Late reports from the camp say that
the district is full of prominent min
ing men seeking investments That
there is more than talk in the ore finds
is proved by the fact that the smelter
trust has had a representative in camp
arranging to secure the reduction of
ores. Many San Franciscans are iden-
titled with the business and mining in
terests of the district.

CRACKERJACK DELIGHTED AT
UNEXPECTED DISCOVERY
PRONOUNCED RICH FOR ARcHI-

CRACKERJACK, Feb. 20. = Thou
sands and perhaps millions of dollars
have been added to the wealth of Bo-
nanza mountain by the discovery that
the great vein of marble that traverses
the Rainstorm and other claims of the
Crackerjack Bonanza company, ana
extends to other holdings beyond, is
one of the finest grades of finishing
stones known to builders. Tests have
been made, slabs have been taken out
and polished and cut into every con-
ceivable shape and submitted to many
experts in that line, and in every IN
stance the verdict is the Same-that the
new marble is the finest ever FOUND on
the Pacific coast, and is unsurpassed
by any imported from abroad for IN
terror finishing work. Marvelously
beautiful in its intricacy of marking
and design; ranging from amber
through all the shades of brown to a
deep. rich coloring, with veins of dark
green standing out WILDLY against the
BACKGROUND, the new Bonanza product,
which has been termed "onyx marble,
is acknowledged by all to be the hano-
soonest building stone ever seen IN Los
Angeles In hardness and strength IL
is euualed by no other marble on the
market. and takes a polish as fine as
plate glass.
AS to the value of the marble. OF
which there are unlimited quantities
on the great estate of the Bonanza
company, opinions vary, some placing
it as high as IS a square foot, and 9th
ers at 81 or $3.50. Large polished slaps
have been on exhibition last week IN
Los Angeles, where it is said to nave
attracted universal attention by rea-
son of its beautiful appearance.
The opinions of leading archtects
and builders of Los Angeles have been
sought by Mr.. Robinson and Mr.. john
son of the Bonanza company, as to the
value of the stone. They unite in say
ing it is the finest grade they ever saw,
and all predict ready market for 1t as
fast as quarried and polished.

ering a branch to the quarry.

RAILROAD MEN VISIT
BILL WILLIAMS DISTRICT
Make Exhaustive Examination of a
Region That Seems inviting
for Railroad Enterprise.
Mineral Wealth

PHOENIX. Feb 23.-W. A Drake.
Paul Hastings and f. p. Cruice of the
s. H., P. & p, Orleans Longacre, jr.,
general manager of the Poland Mining
company, the Yavapai Consolidated
and the Lookout Mining company, and
William Daum of Los Angeles, con-
nected with the industrial department
of the Santa Fe, arrived in town yes
terday afternoon from an important
mining trip along the Bill Williams
range, extending back from the Colo
RADIO along the A. & C. north of the
railroad line, ranging in distance from
it from fifteen to thirty miles.
The Importance of the journey lies
in the fact that it is the most thou ough
investigation of that country from a
railroad point of view ever made and in
the event of sufficient development
of the country to warrant it may re-
suit in the building of a line into it,
Nearly every mine. claim and pros
pect hole in that vast region was Wis
tied. The party carried its own camp
outfit. Camps were established at va
rious points and from them trips were
made to the surrounding country. The
camp of e. S. Osborne, who represents
company owning about 100 claims in
that region, was turned over to the
visitors.
Speaking of the country, Mr.. Drake
said last night that it is to be re-
GREETED that so little has been heard of
it. 1t is exceedingly rich in mineral,
copper predominating, though there is
some gold. 1t is bound, Mr.. Drake be-
lieves to be one of the great mineral
producing regions of the territory.
There is very little doing there now,
though the Planet people, the Signal
company and Mr.. Osborne are at work.
1t was formerly rather a busy place
in the early days when the ore was
shipped down the Colorado to the gulf,
where it was transferred to larger
craft and carried to Swansea, Wales.

STORES INTEREST

TO THE TON
Discovery Made at Great Depth and
Difficulty Is Found in Prosecuting
Work-other Virginia City
Activity

TONOPAH. Feb. 23.-The strike in
the Ophir mine on the Comstock, from
all accounts, is the biggest happening
that has taken place in Virginia City
since the old days Of her pristine glory.
r. J. Wisnom, mill superintendent of
the famous Buffers plant in Virginia
City, was here on visit and he says
the strike is something phenomenal
The strike" said Mr.. Wisnom, was
made on the 2150 level of the mine, Il
long way out to the east the vein run
ming north and south. There is body
of eighteen feet, which breaks better
than 800 ton. OF course this has not
been thoroughly developed, but there
are good indications of its being a per-
manent body. They are also drifting
on the 2300 level to catch the ledge al
that depth, but it is so hot down there
that the miners can do little work.
The pumps and fans are going all the
time, but even that does not bring
much relief
ION the Yellolf Jacket they are put
ting through 200 tons day in the Kin
caid mill, and the ore goes from $11 to
SIS ton. This is free milling ore, and
they are only concentrating. The
Savage Is also taking out some good
ore. The development of the OphiI
for there is no doubt that Tonopah is
on the Comstock' lodge They have the
same character of ore there that you
have here, and about the same per-
centage of gold and silver.
To Reopen Buffers
I'VE expect to open up the Buffers
plant shortly. We closed down for the
reason that our contracts for ore had
terminated, and it would hardly pay
to work the ore at the present low
price of silver. However, the indica-
lions are that the price of silver is
going up, and upon this will depend our
resuming work.
ION my way in here / went to the
new strike at Mountain View. 1t is To-
Gated eight miles northwest of Schurz
and about fourteen miles from Yerring-
ton. The vein can be traced for 1000
feet and one can get paintings from
any part of 1t on the surface. | did
not go on the Warrington side of the
district, where is located the Wilson
Gold Mining company. There are
number of leases in operation, and the
people are just beginning to get in
there. They expect to get the overflow
from Rawhide, and there is townsite
already opened up, and a number OF
lots have been sold. l should not be
surprised if the district should be heard
from before the end of the year, FOR
there are some very good showings on
the surface"
