RESUME IN NEAR FUTURE.

Chief Clerk Cryst of the Office of
Superintendent Duddleson of the
Northern has received letter from
Mizpah bringing the news that ore
running from 5000 to $500 to the ton
is being sacked on the dump of a
leaser named Brown who is operat-
ing on property of Bannigan and
Brady The Brown shaft is but a
short distance from the line of the
property of the Mizpah Consolidated
in which Mr. CTyst is largely interest
ed
Several tons of ore from the
Brown shaft have been sacked and
are ready for shipment, with more
steadily coming on TO the dump. The
strike is considered to be one of
much promise, indications all favor
ing permanent ore body. The ore
being worked in has prevailed prac-
tically from the surface and his sink
ing has been profitable to the leaser
from the start.
Development on the Mizpah Con-
soidated. where ore has been secured
in several workings from which ship
ments can he commenced at any time,
will begin Immediately on the ar

Manhattan Ely and upon his arrival
from Kansas City it is probable that
steps will he taken toward the re-
sumption of development on this
property.
II is the intention of Mizpah Con-
solidated to ship its ores TO the Step
toe smelter and until the latter is
ready TO receive custom business no
shipemnts will be made from the
property. Last year mine run ship
ments were made to salt Lake smelt-
ers for the purpose of ascertaining
values of the ores in shipping lots.
Returns were highly satisfactory and
there is no doubt but that when
shipments can be made to the Step
toe smelter the property will be able
TO operate at a nice profit above ex-
penses of development which will be
carried on.

LAGHER FROM DISTRICT MUCH REGRETTED AT MINES

VETERAN NINE, Aug. This
mine today made its banner shin
ment of ore to Smelter, 20 cars of
80 tons each being loaded and sent
down the ore line shortly after 5
o'clock this evening.
Previous TO today the best shin
ment from single days work was
around 600 tons. Todays work DEM
onstrated the readiness of the mine
to get up 10 the 1000 ton a day
mark, from which 1t is expected that
advance can be made as demand for
more ore comes.
The ore pockets now being made
below the 500 level when completed
will enable the mine to readily in
crease its present output TO double
the present production. These ore
pockets Will have capacity for about
100 tons. Their operation will enable
automatic handling OF the ore from
the time II goes in the cars in the
various workings until II Is put
through the smelter. A circular
track over the ore pockets will allow
OF dumping the cars without DELAY
and In q constant string.
The operation of the caving sys-
TEN in the mine has enabled the in
crease In output TO the figure reached
today. The system is working well
and bringing the ore down as fast
rs IL can be handled with present
force and facilities for delivery to
the skip. The latter handle 5 q tons
TO the trip and are lifted at the rate
OF 500 feet a minute Thirty skips
an hour from the ore pockets TO the
bins will be easily handled, and
close TO double that number If there
is occasion for crowding.

mostly OF profit takers on the recent
raises but they were accommodated
as fast as they offered and the mar

gained in price the strength of the

PUTTING IN NEW TRACK.

A new track from the yard to the
ore line is being put in and will be
ready for service as soon as rails are
secured. Some difficulty has been en-
countered in getting these as fast as
needed about the property. The new
track will be an aid in handling the
work in the yard and will also allow
room for the storage of probably an
other train Of cars in case of need.

CANDIDATE PHARR ON THE
RAMPAGE.

The candidate for Governor OF
the Republican party in this State,
Mr.. +. A. Pharr, has fred the first
gun in his campaign, folorn and
disastrous as it must eliminate.
We had anticipated a move OF
this kind on his part-not Sc much
that there is any hope or possi-
bility OF his party capturing the
overnorship, but solely with the
purpose in view Of securing
enough votes to entitle the party
to the requisite percentage as a
necessary concomitant to holding
fast to the State Federal patron
age after the next Presidential
campaign. His first gun, we are
sorry to say, did not belch forth
any sound or plausible arguments
to convince any one why it would
be better to turn the State over to
the Republicans or to allow the
Democrats a further lease of
power, but it was confined mainly,
i not solely, to telling the late fol-
lowers Of Mr.. Wilkinson that they
should ignore their pledge and
vote for him because of the great
"frauds" perpetrated in the late
Democratic primary. That on
this account no Democrat ought
to feel bound by the result. Mr..
Pharr full well knows that is play
ing upon the political passions of
the people. He ought to know
that neither Mr.. Wilkinson him.
self nor any of the men who fol-
lowed his fortunes would have
submitted to the verdict of the
people had they not been convinc-
ed that the election was one of the
fairest ever held in this State, and
was as free from intimidation as
il could possibly be-.
Just for the sake of argument,
the BANNER may be willing to ad-
nit that healthy and vigorous
white Republican party in Louis
lana would fill a useful purpose,
but this has been tried time and
again and always resulted in
ignominious and complete failure.
The party will fair no better this
time under the leadership of Mr..
Pharr. He and his most stalwart
followers should first tell the white
people Of this State why it is that
the "culled gemmen" is so much
in evidence in the Federal build
il g. e the State, al the while
they are shouting themselves
hoarse for white Republican
party in the State Of Louisiana.
Mr.. Pharr will find little comfort
in his appeal, however. He will
re alize, when the ides of April are
passed, that This cry of fraud
against the Democratic party will
not amount to the proverbial chill
of beans" particularly when utter
ed in the interest of party whose
past teens with multitude of
lniquities which the people have
