From Mcpherson County.

The following is clipped from
The Mcpherson Democrat and
shows how the machine" works
over in that county:
The machine crowd fell all
over themselves last Monday at
the Republican County Central
Committee in this city. Some
twenty precincts out of twenty
nine were represented and about
half of these were by proxy, OF
which Jim NJ. Simpson,-not a
member OF the committee, but
the high boss of the whole
works,-and Tully Bukey had
the lions share. They proceed
ed to throw Kelly Marsh out of
the com mittee, and then decided
that they could not trust the
party to hold a convention to
send delegates to the State Con-
yention March 4th, to send de-
legates to Chicago, but named a
committee of three to name the
delegates. After this was done
Jim NJ. had resolutions passed
instructing for Taft for Presi-
dent, Long for Senator. and
Bailey for Governor and lnciden-
tally Murdoch for Congressman.
They did this so they could send
the news out over the State that
this county was lined up for two
of the biggest political shysters
in the State,-Long and Baily;
the first owned by corporations
and the second the candidate of
Billy Waggener, whose poses as
d Democrat, but is in reality the
brains of the machine Republic
can crowd. AS an actual fact.
one is conservative in saying
that neither Long nor Bailey
could at this time, get one vote
out of four from his party in this
county. Bailey is such an I'M
certain quantity that be may not
even be in the race three months
from now at the same time we
have the ridiculous situation of
the Republicans of the county
being instructed for him! 1T is
to laugh"

: The Supreme Court has de-
cided the case of the county VS.
Billiard in favor of the county.
This was the case in which S. A.
Billiard refused to pay taxes on
Il large tract Of sand hill lands on
the ground that the assessment
was too high and not in proper
ton to the assessmen made on
alfalfa and improved lands of the
county, and he made a showing
that much of the land in the
county was erroneouSlv assessed
and not properly equalized. but
the court seemed to take the
position that Mr.. Billiards. lands
were not improperly valued.
The case has been pending sew
eral years and as all subsequent
taxes have not been paid, Mr..
Billiard VIII be compelled to paw
out quite large sum to square
himself with the Gar
den City Herald.

ALaw for Candidates.

A feature of the Kansas Prim-
airy law which the politicians are
not exploiting before the people
is the fact that it was framed in
interest Of the candidates for the
United States Senate, rather
than in the interest of the voters.
The defense offered in behalf of
the measure, that it was Deces-
sarv to enact a law of that kind
to meet constitutional require
ments. is merely pretense.,
Kansas might have had direct
primary law under the provisions
Of which the people could nomin-
ate their candidates for senator.
Missouri has such a law. and it
lis not questioned as being in
conflict with the Constitution.
But in Kansas the interests of
the Senatorial candidates were
made paramount to the popular
will.
It appears that both factions
of the Republican party in the
Legislature were concerned to
eliminate the possibility of a fair
direct vote. The machine"
followers favored provision
providing, first, that the candi-
date should have the greatest
mum Der of votes in a majority of
the districts; and, second, an
alternative that if no candidate
carried majority of the dis
tricts then the candidate receiv-
ing the greatest mum ber of votes
in the state at large should be
declared the caucus nominee.
That amendment was common
dable only in the fact that it
made it possible as secondary
proposition, for the people to
have a voice in the selection of a
Senator. The leaders of the
Square Deal faction, opposing
the amendment, forced the Leg
islature, in the closing hours of
the session, to adopt a measure
even worse than was suggested
by the machine. This meas
ure makes it possible for cam
didate to secure the nomination
for Senator by carrying only a
small mum Der of Legislative dis
tricts. The total vote of the
state is eliminated entirely as a
factor in the contest.
Upon what ground can a law
of that kind be justified except
upon the theory that all the pol
itical leaders were selfishly in
terested in removing the seleo-
ton of a Senator from the realm
of the direct vote of the people?

The New Primary.

The following are the most
prominent features of the new
primary law:
]. The delegates to the nat
ional convention for this year will
be chosen by state convention,
but after this year these dele
gates will be chosen in a manner
fixed by the state central COM
mittee to conform with the rules
of the national committee.
2. The state central com NIT
tee shall be composed of the
chairmen of the county central
com mittees.
3. The general state primary
will be held on the first Tuesday
of August and at this time all
candidates for state Offices, con-
gress and United States senate,
county officers, state senator's
and representatives, district
judges, township officers and
national electors will be nomin-
ated. The city officials of cities
of 5000 population will be nom
mated on the first Tuesday in
March.
4. The convention will be
superseded by the party council,
except where a state convention
may be necessary to select dele
gates to the national convention.
This party council will draw up
platforms and will be composed
of the nominees for the legisla-
ture,~ congressional nominees,
national com mitteeman. United
States senator, nominated and
held over, and memb ers of the
state com mittee.
5. The county committees
will be composed of one commit
teeman from each voting precinct
and will be selected at the gen.
eral primary. The chairman of
the county committee will be
left to the selection of the county
committee.
6. The United States senator
will be nominated by the plur-
atty of Legislative districts.
The party nominee for the Uni
ted States senate will be the one
who carries the largest number
of Legislative districts at the pri-
mary. All Republicans elected
to the Legislature will be pledged
to support the nominee. His
own district may have given a
plurality to some other candid
ate but he is pledged to support
the candidate carrying the larg-
est mum Der of Districts.

 The company. 1t is said, has se- cured more than three thousand acres of coal land and one-third as much of the supposed oil land. It also has secured options on S0,000 acres of land along the proposed route of the road. which it is proposed to colonize with truck growers.
 To Open Headquarters Soon.
 The engineering of the road will be under the direction of a well-known firm in Boston. Headquarters will be opened at Little Rock as soon as the company is fully organized, which will be early in the new year. 4 local engineer will make the surveys and local men will be engaged as much as possible. It Is hoped te make the country through which the line will run a garden spot and te have 10000 new homes along the line within five years.
 Mineral springs abound along tho line.

The Central Arkansas Electric Railways Company expects to con- mence work on it's line early in the new year says the Little Rock Ga |zette. The route lies south from Lit tie Rock to a point about five miles south of Sheridan in Grant county, where it will divide on branch run { ming to Hot Springs and one to Pine Bluff, both in Arkansas. There will also be short line south to the point where exploration for coal have been made.
 Hope to Find Oil and Gas.
 This coal field has been prospected Ito some extent and it is hoped it may prove valuable. Farther south, in the vicinity of Tulip, Dallas county, the promoters hope to find oil and pos |sibly natural gas. The explorations will be under charge of E. F. William son, who was an early explorer in

mony, while occasionally silver chlor-
ide and native silver occur. A small
percentage of gold is found with the
silver and constitutes a considerable
proportion of the bullion value. AS
a rule the gold is extracted during
cyanide treatment good deal more
readily than the silver, so that spec
ial attention during treatment is not
paid to 1t. Manganese is occasional
ly found associated with silver ore,
and is reported to exercise a detri-
mental effect on the extraction.
''The essential features of present
day treatment of silver ore in Next
co consist in very fine crushing with
cyanide solution, treating the bulk of
the resultant pulp as a slime by de-
cantation, followed by mechanical
filtering and zinc-shaving precipita-
ton of the solution. While the fore
going broad statement may be taken
as correct, there exists, as is natural
ly the case with progressive art, a
considerable diversity Of opinion
among competent operators as to the
advisability of many details of prac-
tice, and hence the following more
detailed description must be consid-
cred as universally applicable.
The fine state of division and un-
form distribution of the precious
metals in the ore render finer crush
ing necessary than in common prac-
tice on the Rand, but the means
adopted for this purpose naturally
vary with the existing equipment of
mills and with the views of those in
charge"

silver METHODS
MUCH IMPROVED

The remarkable advance during
the last few years in the treatment of
silver ore in Mexico" says w. A.
Caldecott in the New York CONNER
cial, may be largely attributed to
the replacement of the old and costly
patio process by cyanide treatment
preceded by very fine crushing, to
railway development and to water
power installations, which provide
electric power cheaply for remote
mines, where the cost of fuel would
be prohibitive. Power is now being
transmitted up to ITO miles, and
supplied at sos a horsepower a
month, or considerably less than the
average cost of electric power on the
Rand.
THE patio process, invented at
Pachuca by Bartolome de Medina in
1867, nearly century before Van
Riebeek landed at the cape, is still in
operation at the same mine in that
district, but is now mainly of his
torical interest. The wretched con-
dition of the mules at present en-
ployed in working it, in place of the
men who used to tread the torta,
makes it's disappearance less regret
table than if animals had been re-
placed by the efficient mechanical
digging appliances which have been
invented for the purpose.
''The process of cyanide teaching
preceded by a chloridizing roast is
also now thing of the past. and
much of the same applies to hypo-
sulphite lixiviation.
'The pioneer work of Charles
Buffers is indissolubly associated
with the advance in Mexican cyanid-
ing and fine grinding practice, while
the FL Orc company is famous
throughout the mining world for its
enterprise in developing metallurgi-
cal methods. But apart from these
we'll known mines, the results of the
skill and energy of our fellow-work-
ers in charge of various ore reduc.
ton plants are obvious in every min
ing district While these last are
without the great advantages of the
cumulative experience and resources
of the group organization, this is in
some measure Offset by the judicious
foresight of individual companies il
providing means for carrying on ex
tensive experimental work, and also
adequate plants for handling the ore
under routine working conditions

LITIGATION HILL
REWARDS LEASERS

Wherever work is being done in
any part of the camp gold is being
found in paying quantities. Persist
ent leasers are being rewarded on
every hand and the companies work
ing are opening up bodies of ore. The
leasers on Litigation hill are all in
ore and each leaser wears smile of
the can't-rub-off type that is pleasant
to see.
Milo Plamenaz, who has lease No.
on the Union No. claim, is sinking
two shafts Shaft No. 1 is down sixty
feet and he has three feet of ore that
averages $40 per ton. Shaft No. is
h fifty-five feet and is being sunk
on a junction of two veins. One vein
is thee feet wide and gives an aver
age of $12 per ton, and the other is
two and one-half feet wide and aver
ages $50 per tom Ore from both
these leases is being piled on the
dump preparatory to being milled at
the Veith-Plamenaz mill. This mill
is now treating ore from the Veith-
Plamenaz lease on Union No. 8.
Lease No. 2. owned by Bigger and
associates, is sinking perpendicular
shaft to tap the Plamenaz ledge open
ed up in his No. lease. The shaft
is now down thirty feet and they ex-
pect to cut the vein within eighteen
or twenty feet.
Lease No. 8, owned by Mcnamara,
Stevenson and Train, is the bonanza
lease on Litigation hill. The original
work on this lease consisted OF
trenches and open cuts, opening up
the vein on the surface for nearly
forty feet. After they had determin-
ed the trend of the ore body and the
dip of the ledge they began sinking
a perpendicular shaft, four by eight
feet in the clear, which is now down
twenty-five feet. In the bottom OF
this shaft there is three feet OF ore
that Will average $1O per ton, anu
they have FIVE or six inches along the
hanging wall that will average close
to 1926 per ton. This streak is being
sacked and the ore from the three
foot ore body is being piled on the
dump. When it is remembered that
this ore body was only few inches
wide at the surface and at depth OF
twenty-five feet it has widened to
three feet, the question as to whether
the ledge goes down" has been prac-
tically eliminated.
Beyond the question of the ore the
leasers are now taking out on this
ground and of great interest to the
company is the fact that the lodges
now opened up plainly show the man
agement the trend and dip of the
several lodges, and when the com
pany begins active operations on its
own account it can do more intelli'
gent work.-Manhattan Mail.

TURNING OUT
The BEST WORK

The bindery of the Bonanza is
turning out the best work in the
city, and it is giving such great salts
faction that anyone who has his work
done there once. never goes anywhere
else. The plant is the finest and
most complete, not only in the State,
but this side of San Francisco. We
can turn out all kinds of work that
is demanded in the offices of lawyers,
brokers, promoters, mining compan-
les, or for any other kind of business,
and we guarantee satisfaction in
every respect. One trial will be suffi-
cient to establish the truth of this
statement. 1t pays to go where only
the best kind of work is done, and
it pays to patronize home industry.
