find proves that the ore deposit
of the Miami camp is going un-
der cover as it makes north, and
that it is making almost straight
north from the Emma Gordon
lease.
The prettiest ore in the camp
is being taken out at No. 4 shaft
on the Sunburst lease. being
worked by Cox and his associates.
A complete hand jig outfit has
been installed, on which the fine
ores are being cleaned, while the
rough stuff is being milled at one
of the custom mills.
Two large steam boilers, a Cor.
liss Engine and ten-drill air COM
pressor were delivered to the
Chicago uapaw the past week.
AS soon as the above machinery
can be installed this property
will be put into commission to
full capacity. The completion
of the erection of this additional
machinery will put this property
in condition to carry on its min
ling operations in a most econ
omical way, and extend the scope
Iof its development work.
A car of high grade ore was
marketed from the Big Jack
mine at Lincolnville the past
week. This property has carried
on a systematic development from
the start and after thoroughly
drilling its acreage it has devel-
oped three shafts, the ore deposit
showing up remarkably we'll, in
all the drilling and shaft devel-
opment. Shaft No. 2 and 3 are
now being used to supply the
mill, while underground develop
ment is being pushed to enlarge
the supply. 1t has been stated
by one of the best operators in
the camp, that shaft No. 2 on
this property, had the best show
ing of any shaft he had exam
ined, and from what he could
see, from the drillings and shaft
development, that this property
has a most promising future be-
fore 1t.
The E. F. Sweeney mine and
mill joins the Big Jack to the
, north and verifies the extension
of the ore deposit prospected on
the latter's ground.
New pumps are being set at
the Mason mine for the purpose
of unwatering that ground this
week. This is one of the big
} producers of the camp, and it is
good to see this property put in
to operation again. Thirty-two
. feet of ore has been worked dur
ing previous working and the ex-
, tent of the ore bed has not been
determined. No doubt, this is
the same bed on which the Luz
ellie Mining Company has its
development, to the west of the
Mason mill.
The 81 Mill was sold last week
; to Mr.. Boaz of Pittsburg, Kan
saS, and we understand he and
his associates are to put it into
commission at once. This is the
: only daylight mine in the camp
and holds the record for the
Largest amount of concentrates
produced for the size of its mill,

PLEDGE CORRECTS
BESETTING EVILS
Contract for This Year Is
Based on Experience of
Three Years.

In 1906 and 1907 a campaign was
made to educate tobacco growers to
pool their crops for better prices. It
took much teaching and persuasion
but they pooled. The pledges of 1906
and 1907 were such that much tobacco
got away without the society being
able to recover aGequate damages and
the faithful had to wait long with add
led expense. Under these pledges the
cost Of handling and carrying were I'M
necessarily high and there was rluch
friction and many Inequalities.
The advocates of the present pledge
wish to make a campaign that shall
teach the farmers not only to pool but
to pool under contract that will hold
the tobacco, reduce the costs Of hand
ling and carrying and do away with
inequalities and friction.
The present pledge is the product of
three years experience and has for its
sole object the protection Of every man
in the pool. 1t was devised in he
interests of economy, uniform system
that will eliminate friction and in
Iequalities, and expedite the work and
of permanence Of the organization and
Ia financial backing that will enable
the growers to meet strategic move
ments Of the manufacturers.
The pledge was devised by those
who have for three years faithfully
served the people and who in the light
of experience have recommended TO
the growers what seems the strongest
guarantee for a wise, economical and
business plan upon which 20 contuct
the business.
The pledge needs only to be prop
Ierly understood N order 10 be ap-
proved.

Sketch of the EnSlavement
Grower and His Fmanc
Combination Of Warehouses the First Octol
Which Grower Had to Battle-Trust Eve
ly Dethroned This and now the Ian
Binds the Butcher.

In Bracken county in the late sixties, /
a grower of tobacco delivered his
crop in winter order and received at
tne warehouse 30 cents per pound
from the ground up.
At that time there were cOmpeJlIlVe
BUYERS in the country and they PAID
close to the market price on the AUG
ton breaks, and depended 1or tnelr
profits on their Judgment OF the qualiIy
and their ability to pack 1t to petter
advantage than the farmer because Oh
a. larger quantity in their purchases
from which to select and pack the Varl-
Gus types. often selecting extra tne
bogsheads from the entire lot which
no farmer could hope to do from
single crop By way OF parentheslS 1t
might be said that this is an advantage
the Burley Tobacco Society expects TO
gain for the grower by commingllng
the Dooled tobacco instead OF having
it handled in crop lots by individuals.
SuupIy and Demand Controlled.
There was little cause for complaint
and it was seldom that buyer went
broke; but On the contrary many OF
them made good money on their IN
yestments. The growers were satlsnea
with the prices paid, as they were Will
ing that the buyer should have snow,
and the warehouse companies, IN COM
netition with each other laDored lor
the legitimate commission for selling
and showed no favoritism between the
farmer-shipper and the country deal-
er. In those good days of prices ruled
nv uncontrolled supply and demand,
if the farmer thought he was not get
ting the value of his crop from the
dealer he could prize and put it on
the omen market with the assurance
that he would get the worth OF MS
crop. according to merit, on the auc'
ton breaks. 49,,
Combination Germ Takes Hold.
A little later the germ or comDlna
tion entered into the tobacco trade
To gain the favor and the trade Oh the
larger buyers an understanding wa
reached between the warehouses, the
manufacturers and brokers and The
country buyers which resulted in the
farmers tobacco being knocked off
hid or two lower than that OF the deal
or until it became generally known
that he could not expect more for nj
tobacco on the breaks than he ha'
been offered by the dealer at home
Bv this means, the country buye
was favored to such an extent that tn
grower found it more profitable to sci
ar home at a continuously decreasin
price The familiar announcement @
the autcioneers: This is crop 10
mt up by the farmer himself" oster
siblv made to boost the lot as some
thing particularly fine and put u
straight, really served as a cue TO tn
buyer to cut the bidding short.
Warehouses Become Oppressors.
It was not until later that the gerl
of combination spread to the war

Heads of the Organization Must Be

Distrust of the leaders is one cause
of the recent friction in the Burley
belt. Over-confidence is a mistake and
makes one subject to abuses. On the
other hand intelligent confidence is ab-
solutely necessary to civilized life. NO

It all in all, how many more people

We trust people every day of our lives
and in the majority of cases our trust

The officers of the Burnley Tobacco
Society have guarded well the inter
ests of the people, and while there
have been gloomy surmises as to what
might happen, nothing ever has hap
pened that was to their discredit and
their sharp eyed critics have tried
hard to find something to divulge.

Plans, Policy and Pledge Explained
In an ~Address to the Burley Growers
This explanation covers the main
features of this pledge.
P0Iicv If thA ROard

lib COV6IS Iu0 main
features of this pledge.
Policy of the Board.
1t is the intention Of the board, on or
before the first day of October, after
it has ascertained all the facts that
can be obtained as to the extent of this
years crop and after the pledges have
been turned in, not to declare the
pool go on a bare majority of the
board. but to take a vote by counties,
according to the amount therein
pooled, and the pool will be declared
off unless a vote of two thirds is OBJ
tanned in favor of making the pool
final
Warehouse Receipts Collateral.
AS to financing, the board proposes
to secure the necessary fund through
the cooperation of the Burley Tobac-
co Company, which will have capital
stock and financial standing and will
by its endorsement make the con-
tracts good. This tobacco company
will also, when necessary. endorse the
growers warehouse receipts so as to
give them value and lend its credit TO
these warehouse receipts IN any bank
The members of this board have been
assured by bankers In high standing
in this district that these receipts en-
dorsed by the tobacco company would
be acceptable as good collateral.
Home Rule Safeguarded.
1t is the purpose of the board In the
Organization Of this Burley Tobacco
Company to make provision for the
warehousing and storing Of the pooled
tobacco in every county where tobacco
is pooled. 1t will be the policy of the
members Of this board, and they will
recommend to their successors, that
the money due to each county from
the proceeds Of any sale of it's tobacco
shall be forwarded at once to that
county for deposit and distribution
through the banks Of that county.
New Board VIII Fix Policy.
To our successors in the district
board, elected by the pool members
next September, who will enter upon
their duties at the regular meeting in
October, will be left the carrying out
of these policies and such other plans
and policies as the members may
deem best to recommend, and we only
give this outline as a result of our
past experience for a guide to those
who may come after, and as an assur-
Iance On the part of those who may be
reelected as to their future policy.
