Mckinley, Taft and Roosevelt.

In New York the other night Judge Taft
related the circumstances Of his visit to
Washington in answer to telegram from
President Mckinley at the time he re-
ceived the offer of the post at Manila. He
was serving on the federal circuit bench
with headquarters at Cincinnati, and his
ambition was in the line of the law. He
wondered If judicial promotion awaited
him. A seat on the supreme bench would
have delighted him. He would have
Jumped at the offer. And had he received
such an appointment he would have been
removed from all political calculations.
The name of President Taft would proba-
bly, never have been written on the books,
But fate had something else in store for
him. The offer he did receive was not to
his taste at all. In the first place, the
work would remove him from the bench,
and in the second place it would take
him out of the country on a mission for
which he had no relish. But. wisely
enough. he accepted, and the result is a
brilliant chapter of history not yet closed.
He came in time to decline the place he
then so ardently desired, and to transfer
his ambition from the bench forever.
There Is some interesting speculation
along another line. Suppose Mr.. Mckin-
ley had been spared to fill out his second
term a. President He would probably have
closed it with undminshed prestige, and
been able had he cared practically to
name his successor. Upon whom would
his favor likely have fallen?
Mr.. Roosevelt would have been in the
Vice Presidents chair anxious for pro-
motion. He and Mr.. Mckinley had little
in common. The latter did not like the
nomination made at Philadelphia for sec
ond place in 1900, and 1t is not easy to
think of him as a Roosevelt man in 1904.
Mr.. Hanna was in the Senate, and am
bilious OF preferment. Between him and
Mr.. Mckinley there was a strong bond
of attachment. But it would have been
difficult for even Mr.. Mckinley to make
his friend the presidential candidate. Mr..
Hanna was too close to Wall street to
have been popular as the party's leader.
He would have been unacceptable to the
west, and measure bly, so to the middle
states
Not inclined to Mr. Roosevelt, then. and
convinced of Mr.. Hanna's weakness to
whom would Mr.. Mckinley probably have
turned? Why not to Judge Taft? Why
would not the achievements which so
greatly impressed Mr.. Roosevelt as
greatly have impressed Mr.. Mckinley?
Why, indeed, should they not have done
so in even a larger degree? AS Mr..
Mckinley had found Judge Taft he
would have been the prouder of him.
And then there would have been the
home bond Both Buckeyes. Both life
long republicans. Why should not and
wouId NOT Mr. MCKINLEY b.yo oxartod
himself to bring in as his successor a
man representing the best blood and the
best republican traditions Of the Buckeye
state?
Had history run in this way; had Mr..
Mckinley been spared, Judge Taft, in
stead of succeeding Theodore Roosevelt
as President. might have succeeded Will
liam Mckinley, and at the expense of
Mr.. Roosevelts ambition. But fate deals
the cards in her own way.

The compliment of the nomination for

he says. to Mr.. Hill, or to Mr.. stanch-
field, or to Judge Herrick, or to Mr.. Chan
Ter. They are representative democrats.
Nothing is said about Fingy Corners or
Charles F.. Murphy. They are men of
party power, but certainly do not meet
the requirements Of the case. With Mr..
Root as the nominee of one party and
such man as Corners or Murphy as the
nominee Of the other, the democracy in
the Empire state would suffer a great
humiliation by contrast.

Reinsurance.

We've heard the fearful conflict rage
Where words like thunderbolts were
sped;
We've looked upon the printed page
With feelings of expectant dread.
We've waited for the rapier's ring
Or bark of pistols fiercely curt.
And still We may look up and sing,
There isn't anybody hurt.
So let us merrily forget
The angry scenes 'mongst which we
move.
There never was an epithet
So sharp that it might fatal prove.
Though men of valor seem inclined
Their wrathful ardor to assert.
You always wake next day to find
There wasn't anybody hurt.

Again this office is in receipt of a
large lot of samples from the Lane and
Bryan claims at Boyd Basin. Like the
samples brought in at different times
before, the ore is fabulously rich in
gold. Anyone in doubt as to the rich
ness of the rock can eliminate any doubt
from his mind by examining the speci-
mems in the display in front of this Of
fee. The ore is full of gold, shot all
through the rock. Not only is the rock
there to show for itself. but there are a
number of assay certificates that dis
close the dollars and cents value of the
ore. The large assays are from the rich
streaks and the balance is the average
of the big ledge from wall to wall.
Messrs. George A. Lane m s. Nc
Kown. who are in town from the camp,
state that three contracts have been let
on the property and 1t is the intention
of the owners to thoroughly develo2 the
claims. The leasers are down to a depth
of twenty feet and some of the ere
brought to town is from the shaft. Work
was temporarily stopped for a few days

the good Weather to get in mining tim

RICH ORE STRUCK IN THE
WELL-xNoWN TYPO MINE

The Typo mine, which is operated by
the Nevada Smelling and Mines Cor
poration, comes to the front this week
Wit a rich strike on the 300-foot level,
which was recently unwatered. Presi-
dent Malcolm Macdonald has some very
handsome specimens - the ore at the
Office of the company in he State Bank
building. The values of the new shoot
run so ounces in silver and so per cent
lead. The size of the ore body has not
yet been determined, hut the indications
are that it will prove extensive and uni
formly rich. The Typo mine was one
of the big producers in the early days,
but was closed down some 20 years ago
on account of the decline in the price of
silver. Under the new methods of min
ing and reduction. the old property is
likely to re-enter the ranks of tho i'm
portant producers of smelling ores in
the very near future. 1t is the intention
of the corporation to erect a smelter at
some convenient point between Tybo
and Reveille, to reduce the ores from
those camps.
E. ]. Collins, who for the past two
years has served the corporation SO eff
ficiently as it's general manager, this
week resigned his position to accept that
of mining engineer and expert for Presi-
dent Malcolm Macdonald. In his new
position Mr.. Collins will have a wider
field than that which he has Just aban-
doned. and his expert services will be
invaluable to the corporation. Charles
Kirchen, a brother of General Manager
John Kirchen of the Tonopah Extension
has succeeded Mr.. Collins as general
manages of the corporation. Mr.. Kir-
chen. was chosen for the position with
special reference to his knowledge of
smelling. and he will have charge of the
preparation of the plans and the con-
struction of the smelter which the cor
poration proposes to erect between Tybo
and Reveille. He has had wide expert
