canyon. Virginia, however, is at some
what higher elevation than this place.
The general characteristic are the
same. however, and in each instance the
mineral bearing basin is skirted on the
west by the big, black hills, known as
the Virginia range, containing the
greatest mineral lode yet discovered.
Frequent comparison has been made
between the ores and formation of Vir-
ginia City and Ramsey. Outcropings,
quartz, porphyry, andesite and diorite
have been brought from the old Com
stock lode to this place. Ore from near
surface and from the lower levels, be-
low water. has been compared. If there
is anv difference no one has detected 1t
and it would be impossible to pick the
Virginia ore from that of this district
if thrown into a pile. Ramsey is an
other rich zone on the trend of the great
Comstock lode.
Fahy Lease
Much more rapid Roadway has been
made lately at the Fahy lease on Ram
sey-Ophir ground, where two brothers
are sinking a deep shaft on the famous
Ramsey-Comstock ledge. They are
down about 200 feet now and will con
tinue to lower the shaft another 70 or
100 feet before crosscuts are driven and
the ledge is opened to Slope out ore.
Rather No. 2
They are certainly getting down to
il in great shape at the Rather NO. :
mine and are sending the shaft down IN
p lively way. Night and day the miners
are breaking new ground and the gaso-
line hoist is kept busy pulling out
huckets of rock. The mine is making
a little water, but not enough to inter-
fere with operation and there seems to
be no immediate prospect of any inter
ference from this cause. The work is
starting off in a way that presages
record time and telling results may DC
looked for at this mine at an early date.
There is no question of the Rather
No. 2 estate having every advantage OF
making n of our biggest mines. The
! Ramsey-Comstock ledge outcrops WITHIN
a few feet of the end lines and after
dipping under the surface for a short
distance, again shows forth stronger
th.r avor On the hillside across ths
r~avine. Many good surface finds have
been made along this southwest tren'

thing that should create valuable or

Midway
There is no cessation in the work be.
ing carried on throughout this prop
erty, in fact more attention is being
paid to development work than at any
time since the mine was opened. Cross
cuts are being sent out ON different
levels into the southern part of their
territory, sidelining the T%onopah Min
ing company's property, with the inten-
tion of thoroughly prospecting that por-
tion of their holdings. The east drift
on the 300-foot level was sent ahead
about 20 feet this week and shows
nearly two feet of good ore in the face,
The stope from the west drift on this
vein has been advanced and shows a
foot of rich ore in the back.
West End Con.
There is no change to report in the
West End mine this week. Superin-
tendcnt Corkill is still working in the
stope on the big vein from the 400 foot
level of the new shaft. and an excellent
grade of ore is being extracted. The
back of the stope exposes a fine body
of ore and is now about 30 feet up.
The east drift is being pushed as fast
as possible. as they are anxious to
break through into the main west drift
from the old shaft. The slopes on the
150-foot intermediate level, near the
MacNamara line, are producing from
6 to 8 feet of high grade milling ore,
which is shipped just as it is broken
down.
Jim Butler
The usual advancement was made in
workings on the different levels of this
mine, and while nothing of a startling
nature has been discovered, the show
ing in the mine is excellent. The
Stone Cabin shaft is fast nearing the
700-foot point, being sent down at the
rate of about Is feet per week. The
west raise on the 100-foot level has ex-
posed an excellent body of good mill
ing ore, the vein being { feet wide in
the top, which is up 40 feet.
MacNamara
That the claims mad for this mine
by this paper are based on actual
merit are being proven by the ship
ments of ore regularly from the prop
erty. This week seven carloads, aver
aging 80 tons each, were sent to the
Montana mill, and the shipments will
be kept up to this mark for some time
to come. This ore is all of good grade
and is considerably better than the
average ore going to the mills, as no
sorting is done, the high grade being
thrown in with that of milling grade,
which brings the average figures far
above ordinary milling ore. AS soon as
possible more power will be obtained in
order to run more machine drills, and
in that event the output will be still
larger. Throughout the mine the ore
bodies are looking excellent, and the
development work now going on is ron
stantly adding to the ore reserves of
the mine. At present stopping is being
confined to two places in the mine,
namely, No. 3 and No. 3 raises from the
o75-foot level, about $50 feet south Of
the shaft. The balance of the ore be
ing extracted is coming from the regu-
lar DEVELOPMENT work.

THE JEFFERSONIAN.


from 26 Broadway and the National City
bank, and before J. P Morgan s office boy in
Washington received the message that illegal
bond issues would be needed for Wall Streets
convenience in addition to $3.50 100000 de-
posits of the peoples money.
Those high financiering banks of New York
owed outside banks $410,000,000 just before
last fall s panic. From August until December
the country could squeeze only five per cent of
its own money from New York's clutches. And
Wall Street made a virtue Of paying $20,000-
600 of its $4O0,O0O,0O0 Indebtedness to the
distressed country during a period when the
accommodating Cortelyou increased the treas
ury deposits in New York banks SAT 100000.
But Wall Street had bonds in plenty-rail-
road and municipal bonds unstable, unaccept-
able by savings banks, and so speculative and
unstable that many Of them fuctuated from
ten to twenty per cent within year.
New York was the defaulter Of the nation,
with its illegal clearing house certificates But
there are bonds to build new skyscrapers in
Broad street if heaped in bundles, fotation
upon 6otation
There were bonds enough when Mr. Cor
telyou opened the treasury doors to them to
increase the deposits of railroad and municipal
bonds with the government from $87 100000
in October to $20000O.0O0 in December And
still Wall Street gasped for breath under its
load of dubious securities.
1t was to dump upon the government that
load that Aldrch introduced the bill that he
did not himself dare defend except as a make
shift And it was that bill which brought
forth an outburst Of Indignation from every
board of trade and commercial body through
out the land
The protest was so universal that Aldrich
voluntariywithdre his proposal to accept
railroad bonds as security for currency. He
did so in an attempt to forestall LaFollette's
tremendous Indictment, Of which this was an
essential clause:
''For us to pass laws here that lend gov
eminent credit to railroad fnanciering
schemes that guarantee in measure, rail
road securities and adopt railroad securities,
good, bad and indifferent, into the currency
system Of the country, without either dis
elimination or investigation, could not be
justified under any pretext of serving the
public interest,"
But on that same March day the Wisconsin
senator warned the country that the vicious
proposal had been dropped only temporarily
and would be revived He was right Aldrich
and his clique even then were preparing to
prove themselves tricksters and faith breakers

tors deliver their stab at the commerce Of the
country. They rush forward bill we'll de-
scribed as "half senate infamy and half
house infamy," embodying every rotten Walt
Street device that lay in the earlier bills and
discarding every amendment for the protectors
of honest banking and legitimate business.
Commercial paper is mentioned and rail-
road bonds are not. Oh, the wisdom of these
pirates, thinking they can mask their purposes
with such word twisting! Just as if the bust
ness men Of the country would not understand
the meaning of "other bonds - and securities
including commercial paper *-1
State, county and municipal bonds to be
accepted at ninety per cent of their market
value "Other bonds and commercial paper
to be taken at seventy-fve per cent only after
arranging complicated and elaborate assoola-
tions feasible only for the New York banks,
And even should such machinery be formed
and the entire assets of the banks pledged
they could issue only thirty per cent Of the
unimpaired capital and surplus on the security
Of commercial paper, while on "other bonds
the only limitation placed is that the ISSUE
together with the circulation based on United
States bonds, must not exceed the aggregate
capital and surplus of the issuing bank.
This law will mean the turning over Of
the treasury Of the United States to the gamb
lers of New York stock exchange for period
of six years.
It will mean the making Of "good times
and chad times" Of "bull'' markets and
''bear" markets according to the pleasure of
Rogers and Rockefeller in the National City
bank and J. P Morgan in the National Bank
Of Commerce.
It will mean not the slow and certain move
ments of contraction and imitation by the nat
ural laws Of commerce, but sharp changes
forced at will by the master gamblers.
It will mean the gift to the chief enemies
Of the nation Of the power to issue or retire
half billion of dollars, exciting speculation
or compelling disaster according to whichever
best suits their betting book
What the effect will be upon the coming
elections we do not know. We do not know
what measure Of punishment long-sufering
people will inflict upon their betrayers.
It is not the time to think Of politics or
partisanship. A thing is being done which
will affect every employer and every employee
in America, every banker, merchant, manu-
facturer, clerk and mechanic.
We wish merely to warn one and all. The
country will be in the condition of con-
valescent to whom drugs that are powerful
stimulants, but poisonous, would be admins

1.-THE CURRENCY CRIME"


at the close Of democratic congress which
had proved itself the enemy of the common
interest and the servant Of public enemies
Are there not three or four republican SEN
ators big enough, broad enough, far-sighted
enough and sufficiently patriotic to save us
the humiliation Of being compelled by honesty
to repeat that epitaph when this present con-
gross dies-none too SOON
The republican party is about to go before
the people with the mongrel, hybrid, cheating,
swindling thing labeled the Aldrich- Cannon
currency bill as it's claim to the ballots of
American workers and business men, already
long-suffering and embittered victims of the
gamblers Of New York.
It has been whipped through the house, to
the shame Of the men who have stifed their
own convictions and orouched towards under
the lash of the vulgar tyrant in the speaker s
chair for fear of his threat to deprive them Of
their slices from the pork barrel '-their ap-
preparations in the omnibus building bill
1t will be whipped through the senate in
like fashion, in all likelihood, thanks to the
feebleness Of the democratic minority, playing
the donkey's roll as usual in their inability to
that would be patriotic craftsmanship.
Worst Of ALL we believe that Roosevelt
will make the bill a law by signing it. He will
hurt his country and his party not because Of
lack Of courage or Of good intent. He will do
this sin because Of lack Of understanding.
In grasp Of financial questions he is an
infant He trusted Cortelyou. That was ex-
cusable. But he continued to trust him after
last December. And now again, with the best
of motives, he will commit one of those
biunders which Talleyrand rightly called
''worse than crime"
Are there not two or three men in the
United States senate not too deaf to hear the
stern warning of all the legitimate business
interests Of America?
Has not Roosevelt enough friends there to
save him from himself?
Are there not enough loyal republicans to
keep the party from being rushed into gravest
peril by this foisting upon the people at the
dictates of Wall Street a law immeasurable
worse than the one condemned by practically
every organized body of business in the
nation?
Even the original Aldrich bill was better
than this iniquity. Even the two-headed
freakish thing promised by the conference con-
spirators was not so vicious as the sWindle
rushed to passage in the house after one
hours debate, before single member had
chance to read the bill upon which he voted

CANNON SAYS THERE WILL BE
HONEST REVISION OF TARIFF

WASHINGTON. Nov. cI,-Declariug
that there will be an honest revision OF
the tariff and that there is no present
need of 'fretting' about the election OF
q speaker for the house in the sixty
first congress, Speaker Cannon arrived
day for the approaching session of con-
gress. To the newspapermen who greet
ed him he added that he believed the
people would get the sort of tariff rcvi-
sion they had voted for
Later he Issued a statement In which
he said he was not attempting TO die
tate to the house, and that through tho
system OF election OF members the peo-
pie were certain of having their views
enacted into law. Citing an example OF
the hasty action leading to a misinter-
pTetation Of public sentiment in regard
10 tarif bill. he expressed an opinion
that there would be no mistake made
next summer in the revision Of tho tariff.
