FAIRVIEW Mine
TO sink Deep

The winze which Superintendent
Jesse Harris has sunk to depth of
so feet from the main level has gone
far to prove the permanency of the
Fairview mine at depth.
Assays made at the start of this
work gave return of SO cents in gold.
Assays were made during the entire
progress of sinking and every one
showed a gain in value until return
of $6.61 was obtained from the rock
at the bottom. THIS is pure gold and
shows no silver. Sulphides are APP
parent and the rock is very heavily
charged with iron.
Owing to the inconvenience of dis
posing of the rock taken out of this

mouth of the shaft will be short
distance above the gallows frame of
the Crescent lease. A gallows frame
and gasoline engine will be installed
to carry on the work.
AS soon as the shaft is down far
enough, cross cut will be made 20

taken out through this main shaft.
Superintendent Harris feels con-

depth, sulphides will be found on the

The men who are working in the

Hartman and his associates will
erect a large smelter at the port of
Mazatlan, on the Pacific Coast of
Mexico, according to statement OF
Epes Randolph, representative of

STOCK MARKET
Still APATHETIC
fBy Associated Press. }

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The neg
lected condition of the stock market
was unrelieved today Dealings in
business originated almost entirely
within the walls of the stock eX-
change. The bear party amongst
the traders tested the market with
short sales at the outset on the as
sumption that the treasury call upon
the national banks, except those of
smaller class, for tn ereturn of $35,-
100000 of government deposits dur
ing March might prompt some liquid
alton of stocks. This call has been
clearly indicated by the downward
course of the margin of the govern
ment's free working balance of cash
Moreover, money supplies are now
so considerable th&t banks can pari
with this sum without embarrass
ment, while the treasury will be cor.
respondingly strengthened in its ia
cilities to help with relief for the
money market when the cash begins
to leave the reserve centers to move
crops. Bonds were. easy.

FlND RICH ORE
in AN old Mine

Some remarkably rich specimens
of ore have been shown about town
from a strike recently made about
seven miles UP in the 'royabe Noun
tains back of Rogers. almost directly
across the Smoky Vai:ey from Round
Mountain.
The strike was made in the old
Buckeye mine which produced about
$4,000 in silver in the old days.
This is a very small mine, but for the
amount of work done its production
is said to exceed any mine in the
state
The property has been acquired by
lack Reardon aud Stewart, and an
1S-inch pay streak was found In 4
16-foot raise. Assays were made OF
the rock which gave returns of $1,000
in gold, silver. copper and lead. OF
this S12 was in gold.
The ledge is said to be about fif-
about thirty tons of this rich ore al.
ready on the dump. News of the
strike was slow in getting out, owing
to the extreme difficulty of getting
through the heavy snow which covers
the hills.
The samples exhibited are of stee
galena rich with native silver an'
showing black sulpnrous which u
very rich in silver. This ore was :
grab sample from the high grad
dump.

rich ALASKAN
MINERAL STRIKES

TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 24-An
important copper find has been made
on Graham island, the most northern
of the Queen Charlotte group, ac-
cording to Captain B. F. Hand. His
statement is based upon the reports
of George H. Ernstrong and Frank
A. Riley, two well known Alaskans,
who have just returned. Ernstrong
and Riley, with four other men,
prospected this copper vein. Captain
Hand says the prospectors found the
vein of copper from sixty to eighty
feet wide, samples of which run from
5 to 35 per cent copper.
The party located the claims COW
ering 5000 feet or four claims of
1900 feet each. In British Colum-
bia, they say, they were offered
$25O.00o for their claims, which
they refused.
George H. Thomas and associates
will ship five stamp mills next week
to Cook Inlet to begin work on a
150-foot ledge of rich gold-bearing
quartz discovered by them in the
Lower Susitna valley The ledge is
specked with free gold running SIS
TO $3.50 per ton. Their explorations
indicate it contains more gold than
the famous Treadwell ledge, because
it is SO much richer

NEW ENGLAND UNITY.

The conference of the New England governors, which has been called for September 14th at the Algonquin club of Boston, by Governor Guild of Mas sachusetts, should certainly be q meet ing of rare possibilities, True it will be quite as much of an experiment as the recent congress of all the governors at Washington called together by tho president As with the latter, too, just what 1t will accomplish can only be oonjectured beforehand
 We have already pointed out two mistakes in connection with the New England governors meeting which should be rectifed at once One is the fact that neither the public nor tho publlc's newspaper representatives will be admitted to the conferences, as at present planned The other is that mo effort is being made to make the con- ference comprehensive When it would seem highly advantageous to Invite

The Host of the Subsidized My Dear Colonel:
 In heavens name be stll Sheath your scalping knife, throw your Ioma- hawk into the woodpile and light your pipe. Stop plugging at this political hornets nest Don't you see you're disturbing em and they're ugly. Ev- cry insect of 'em has piaen bag and a stinger, and they fly swift.
 You're too old to disturb yourself in this sort of way. such enthusiasms are for the young and the gay. Your ex- perlence should have taught you the utter futility of such knight errantry It belongs to Don Quixote and young men just out of college. Don't you know-if you don't you ought to--that this matter Is up to the people and the people don't care. See if they do when they hold their primaries. If the people would only think! But they don't think If they only were free-but they're not free They have delegated their powers to others. Shall the sellers deliver the goods? If the chattes do not refuse to be delivered bound hand and foot at the primaries, they will
 Colonel, the case is hopeless Public spirit is dead. The gentlemen who own us, and have sold us, have spoken. What right have we, poor devils a few amiabe, gentlemen patriots, who are wasting valuable lives in thinking for them with never a thought for their own interest The people were sold Q year and a half ago Shall the buyers repudiate the bargain? Heaven forbid They have the price tucked up in their pockets to be nice
 Take the advice of a friend. Don't wander around lonely. throwing things, Join the genial host of the subsidized. Then will prosperity come to you and stay with you and your head will not rise one inch above the heads of your contemporaries.

\ SINGING CANDIDATE.

We hear that the game of button, button, who's got the button" is not played so relentleesly in the rural dis tricts as 1t wa a few weeks ago Ev- eryone not possessing the necessary neetness to escape has been caught and decorated and the countenance Of the genial candidate for governor is much more familiar to the average citizen than is his congressional record.
 It ls plain that some other modest and equally unobtrusive way must be found to keep his familiar features be- fore the public. Yesterday 1t was but tons today it's singing postals, where. from the gentleman. whose portrait adorns the left hand upper corner, pipes his sweetest notes into the eyes of thousands who nave no ear for such music. And here again we take issue with the multitude We likc it, Our appreciation of the nine muses has , he@a prodiglously heightened by the advent of a tenth muse in Waterbury. Just think of it! A singing governor, And singing governor means a danc- Ing Commonwealth Poor Old Connects cut! The revolvers of the predatory gang cracking away at her toes as she dances perforce the Lilley qulckstep.
 Alas! Why did the lyric passion slumber when our hero appeared before the congressional committee? He might have sung them into a different 1 verdict and saved us all a world of trouble. And how easily his name lends itself to rhyme.
 Silly: The people who let the machine | do their thinking.
 lilly: The road one sometimes has to travel even when one has the nomina- tion in the hollow of ones hand.
 Willy-Nilly: Whether you want me or not.
 Why, there are yards of jingle that could be brought into action to show the eternal fitness of such one fo, the governorship.
 Pray heaven, that this literary effort may not be the swan song of the Prospective. We want more of 1t We'll print it-every line of tiff il isn't copyrighted. We'll do anything but sing it.

the leading representatives of every commercial and industrial interest In each of the New England states to be present and to add his mite of wisdom to the sum total of the conclusions reached. But instead of that the plan IS that onlv the governors of the six states shah meet in secret conference to discuss thes, matters of such mo- ment to all New England, That Is mistake
 There are many reasons to call New England together as a unit of states, No other section of the country is so fitted for unfication. There art any number of different ties, historical ana contemporary, ties of blood, ties that come with like industrial interests and ties that a geographical position, which is in way largely isolated from the rest of the country alone can bring In it's enthusiasm over the possibilities of the coming conference, if properly conducted, welding New England to- gether as never before, the Springfield Republican does not hesitate to say that If these six states have common interests, a merger of them into one New England commonwealth might be a subject worthy of discussion" It is quite impossible that any such re- | suit will come. It is not 10 be believed 1 that the Republican thinks or hopes 1t l will Though 1t would be possible un- any number of the states into one, or the reverse, one state into any num- Der of states still the tendency nat urally is in the latter rather than in the former, direction, since to weld states together would mean to reduce the representation of the district con cerned in the United states senate, a result not at all to be met with favor for obvious reasons.
 But, as the Boston Herald observes: Political consolidation Is not neces- sary for consistent and harmonious service of common interests which ex- ists in the six states" For instance there Is no matter that more intimate ly concerns every manufacturer and producer as well as every inhabitant of New England, either as shipper or passenger, than the railroads Yet to- day in the six states there IS scarcely an attempt being made to obtain CO., operative legislation on the all-import- ant subject of railroads. That is only one suggestion. Just as Connecticut cit- izens today are vitally intei estad in and are fighting for the establishment of public utilities commission, so should all New England be interested in similar agitations along parallel lines in each of the states The import ance of forest reservations In the White Mountains section is great. These and thousand other matters can be brought about by interstate confer ences Far greater publicity should be given to the coming governors meet. ing. Out of 1t should spring other con. ferences of increasing importance
 Then will the New England people realize their common brotherhood anc their duplicate interests and begin tc , come into their own, the country over

THE BlLLBOARDs.

Several times of late this paper has taken occasion to call attention to the disgraceful way in which sign and billboard fever has overtaken the city. An article in the current issue of Golfers which treats of the same evil in Cincinnati and of the success ful way in which it has been checked. warrants reference to the matter again and the cherishing of hope that New Haven, which is avowedly deslrous of becoming a city beautiful, will follow in Cincinnati's footsteps in this regard,
 The article referred to is headed one Fight for the City Beautiful" The inference may be deducted that similar fights in other cities will be taken up with type and picture at subsequent times. Possibly New Ha- ven's billboard nightmares will re- ceive due denunciation. 1t may be hoped so A series of Cincinnati pie lures is printed, yet any one of them could be duplicated without much difficulty in New Haven. Theatrical, circus. tobacco, railroad, corset and general manufacturing adds arc ehnurp i, a ln,os. aya,,, rIc,,ra {,,t they may be seen here. The hideous- ness of 1t all. the danger of 1t from the standpoint of fire. Is made only too apparent; the unhealthfulness of 1t is depicted by behind the scenes picture, which shows how the billboards attract filth, conceal dis order and breed disease. That the same accusation can be bought against the billboards of New Haven, many of the pictures that Prof Bailey, of Yale, showed in his lectures pre- liminary to the cleanup campaign, proved.
 In Cincinnati such public sentiment was felt against the bllboards that municipal art committee, so-called. was formed by the Business Mems club That committee, says Collier's, has asked all who have any civic ' pride to help reduce Cincinnatis ugli- ness by abandoning billboard adver- Using As result, fully twenty five per cent. of the billboards were va cant in early March of this year" It is fair to suppose that the good work will go on. If New Haven has any of that same civic pride in it's appear ance (and the inauguration of the city beautiful campaign would seem to of- fer eloquent proof of that) then there should be those ready to begin a sim liar work here. Following Clncin- natis example, the New Haven Busi. ness Mems association or the Cham. Der of Commerce might take the mat ter up and reason with the city ad- vertsers in the matter. This could appeal to their civic pride and II would not be long before, as in Gin. cinnati as Golfers says, the general out-of-town advertisers would realize that making a city hideous is not the best way of attracting the favorable attention of its buyers For outsd. CTS to come to New Haven and make our streets hideous and then to ex. pect us to offer the other check bS patronizing them and their wares verges on the ridiculous. Such bill boards as those near the depot ant others have so many advertising stor ies to tell us that they are not reaC at all and they lose their advertisinl value because of 1t. That is not talk ing into account their hideousness oI their danger to health or surrounding property.
