VULTURE WORK
TO START soon

A letter has been received from
henry Weber by G. A. Macpherson,
cashier of the Wonder branch of the
Nye and Ormsby County Bank. in
which Mr.. Weber says that, because
of the material improvement in the
financial and other conditions affect
ing mining in this State, plans are
now being pushed for resuming OPP
erations on the Vulture property
early in March. Much work has al
ready been done on the Vulture. A
tunnel is in about 500 feet and a
considerable amount of high grade
ore has been shipped. Most of this
has been taken from the upraise
from the tunnel, and from the drift
from the upraise. 1t averages about
1925 a ton. Experts who have visit
ed the property have little doubt that
a few feet more of driving in the tun-
mel will result in the cutting of the
Jack Pot vein, and also in the I'M
covering of shipping ore in the vein
which shows high values on the sur
face and upon which drift from the
tunnel has been run for some dis
lance. The ore already on the dump
is said to be sufficient in value to pay
the operating expenses of the mine
for six months.
1t is not believed that S. F. Palm
er, who had charge of the Vulture
and other Weber properties in this
district from the time of starting the
work over a year ago until last fall,
will return to Wonder. 1t is said
that he has accepted a position with
the smelter people to travel in the
mining districts making time con-
tracts with the mining companies for
ore, and that his headquarters Will
be in Denver Wonder Mining News

FORAKER ATTACKS TAFT.
Accuses Him of Associating with
Standard Oil Masnates and Also
Assails Roosevelt

Cincinnati, o. - Senator Foraker
gave out a statement Friday night
replying to the recent charges made
by William r. Hearst and President
Roosevelt. In addition he bitterly as
sails Hearst, Taft and the president,
charging Taft with consorting with
Standard Oil magnates himself and
declaring that President Roosevelt's S
actions indicate a guilty conscience.
In the opening paragraph Mr.. Foraker
declares that the president showed
bias in accepting as true all the
charges
He denies that he acted improperly
in accepting employment from the
Standard Oil Co.. says that there was
no secret about it and produces let
ters to prove that after the govern
ment began its attack upon the Stand
ard Oil Co. he declined to accept a
retainer from it. He charges that Mr.
Hearst had other letters in addition
to those which he gave out, and that
these other letters if made public at
the same time would have showed how
harmless was his connection with the
Standard people.

HASKELL RESIGNS.
Treasurer of Democratic National
Committee Quits His Job.

Chicago. Ill. - Gov Charles N
Haskell on Friday night resigned as
treasurer of the Democratic commit
tee. His resignation was announced
by himself three hours after his ar
rival in Chicago from Guthrie, Okla.
and after he had conferred with Off
GERS at the Democratic national head
quarters. In giving out his decision
Mr.. Haskell declared he did not de-
sire to be responsible for any embar
rassment which might result to the
Democratic party by retaining the of
flee of treasurer.
That his resignation is the direct re-
suit of the charges made against him
by w. r. Hearst and President Roose-
welt Mr.. Haskell also admitted. At
the same time he did not by his resig-
nation intend to admit that any of the
charges were true.

BRYAN ON CLEVELAND.
Wrote Eulogy of Ex-President Without
Intending to Do So.

Mr., William ]. Bryan describes in
an article in Golfers some of the
qualifications of the model president.
He says he should have moral cour.
age" He should be able Ito detect
the sophistries" that are always EN-.
ployed by special interests" seeking
unfair advantage" He should look
on himself as committed by his plat
form to certain principles, and those
principles are binding"
Mr.. Bryan could have given life and
emphasis to his observations by men
tioning a president-a Democratic one
at that-who possessed these presiden.
tial qualifications in ample measure
Few occupants of the White House
have equaled Grover Cleveland in
moral courage. He was an intense
party man. He gloried in his party's
triumphs and mourned in it's defeats
But he had the moral courage to stand
up against his party when it went
mad over free silver. He knew that
he would be communicated, that
most Democrats would vilify and curse
him, and that his course would con.
tribute to the defeat of his party. Yet
he never faltered. Mr.. Bryan never
has favored the public with any mani
festation of moral courage approach.
ing that
Cleveland was able ito detect the
sophistries" of the silver mine owners
and dishonest debtors who hankered
after 50-cent dollars He was not to
be moved by the appeals of special
interests" for free-silver legislation
Certainly Mr.. Bryan did not intend
that his disquisition on the qualifica
tons of a president should be read
as eulogy of Grover Cleveland, whom
he greatly hated. Cleveland did much
to prevent his election. But the intel
ligent reader will think of Cleveland
rather than of Bryan when he reads
the article.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Volume of Retail Business Increases
and Factories Extend Op-
erations.

New York City.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
While the temperature has been too
high for best results in fall retail
trade, the volume is steadily increas-
ing. and manufacturing plants have eX-
tended operations still further. There
remains the drawback of low water
that retards some mill work and river
transportation, while valuable timber
has been destroyed by forest fires.
Most jobbing houses report tendency
to prepare for the future on a larger
scale. and wooden mills have less idle
machinery; but shoe shops find diff
Guilty in securing the higher prices
made necessary by a firm leather
market.
Several orders of Importance have
been placed this week for finished
steel and the usual supply of small
contracts appeared, but the waiting at
titude is still conspicuous among the
large buyers, especially the railways.

BRYAN FoRGETs SOMETHING.
Repudiates Himself When He Attacks
Republican Expenditures.

Our platform also calls attention to the
fact that $4,000 new Offices have been Gre
ated. at an expense of $4,000, 900 a year
as against an increase of 1000 new Of
fees. with salaries amounting to $1,000
0OO in the Cleveland and Mckinley ad-
ministrations-Wil William J. Bryan, at St
Paul.
Granted; what then? How did the
increase come about? What started
it? Whittier is it tending? And why?
The answers are plain on the face
of things. Government inspection,
government regulation, and govern.
ment control have been expanded and
extended as never before-that is the
why and where and how.
Some of this expansion and exten.
sion has been for good; some of it for
evil but whether for good or for evil
it has been the part of the Roosevelt
policies which Mr.. Bryan himself has
applauded most heartily while it has
been in progress-which he has even
gone so far as to accuse the president
OF borrowing from The Bryanite
Democracy
1t increases civil list enormously,
it piles up appropriations immensely,
to control and regulate and inspect
and supervise 90,000,000 of people, and
Mr. Bryan must have realized this fact
when he proclaimed the eXpediency of
It all.
Why then complain of the conse.
quences now, especially when in the
same breath he advocates a further
extension and expansion and expense
by establishing the vast additional ma.
chinery of United States postal saw.
ings banks throughout the country?
We can't have our cake and eat it!
We cant transfer the Individual bur.
dens of private life to the United
States government and then avoid Civ.

sary to carry the load.
Mr.. Bryan has taken the wrong line
Of attack He is simply repudiatine
himself when he advances such argu
ments. He must have forgotten some.
