Postoffice orders require fee; and worse than that. call for the trouble of going to the postoffice for the order. And there are many daily remittances to this office from sub scribers who live at a distance from any postoffice.
 Business men in all lines will be disconnected by the new law, and es- peciaily will the people be put to in- convenience, without any sensible ex- cuse. But the law goes further than to prohibit checks of smaller denom- ination than one dollar. It provides that these checks shall not be issued ''in lieu of lawful money" An order on your grocer, given in payment of the services of temporary help" for example, will make you liable to a heavy fine and imprisonment. if the order is for less than one dollar.
 It would be difficult to imagine a more senseless piece of legislation.

He placed himself on the side of intercollegiate sports as only striking occasion for a display of college solidarity
 Charles William Eliot. president emeritus. was a central figure in the celebration, which will last long in the annals of Harvard. The parade was headed by Ambassador Bryce of Great Britain and several other English scholars in scarlet gowns. while be- hind came scarcely the less subdued academic garbs of German, French Austrian.

The Dollar limit on Checks.

The fact is just dawning on the country that congress at the session of last winter enacted piece of fool ish, freak legislation which deserves to take rank with the most idiotic per formances of state legislatures. Un- der section of an act to codify. re- wise and amend the penal laws of the United States. and which will become effective January l next. appears the following paragraph:
 No person shall make, issue or cir culate or pay out any note. check. memorandum. token or other obliga- ton for less sum than one dollar, intended to circulate as money or to be received or used in lieu of lawful money of the United States; and every person so offending shall be fined not more than $500 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both"
 In other words, after the first of next January, unless the fool law be repealed meanwhile-any person who hands out his check TOT less than one dollar in payment flor anything will subject himself to liability of a fine of $500 and imprisonment for six months. To give a concrete illustra- ton of the working of the new law, iE The Republicans mail every day there are numerous enclosures of checks for seventy-five cents in nav ment for the paper for one month. These checks. from whatever source. are willingly accepted by the banks at their fsce-it is q most convenient form Of payment.

The Taft Railroad Policy.

MT. Taft's announcement of his policy in respect to railroad legisla- tion has elicited a surprisingly small volume of comment from the press of the country. in view of the importance of the legislation proposed. There Is so little adverse comment, however, that it may be taken for granted that his suggestions in general are ap- proved by the people-and congress, of course. will take its cue from the attitude of the public.
 In brief MT. Taft says he will recommend to congress such change in the law as to give the interstate commerce commission power to insti- tute complaints against rates on it's own motion. to regulate classification as completely as rates, to supervise and to suspend all regulations affect ing shippers. and to supervise all is sues of stocks and bonds. He would forbid railroads to acquire stock in
 
 dispose of any stock they now hold. He would authorize railroads to enter into traffic arrangements so long as they did not involve pooling Of busi- ness or profits, but only under the supervision of the interstate commerce commission He proposes an inter state commerce court. to which ap- peals from the decision of the com mission would lie, and from which. in turn. appeal would lie only to the su- preme court of tine United States.
 Effective and fair supervision of the issue Of railway securities would tend to prevent the injection of too much water" into stocks and bonds, possibly. A law of this kind would apply only to future issues, however. and such legislation would be largely in the nature of locking the barn door after the horse was gone Pro- moters of new railways would find an immense advantage in having their stock and bond issues formally ap- proved by the government. The pres tige of federal approval would strong ly tend to provide ready market.
 It is unquestionable that the slow, tedious process of appeal from court to court greatly minimizes whatever benefit there is in the present rate law. There should be some method of expediting appeals. and perhaps Mir. Taft has suggested the best remedy.
 It is undoubtedly not well for the public interest to permit railroads to own the stock of competing roads It is probable. however, that shrewd counsel will always find way to avoid prohibitive legislation through some form of holding company or trusteeship.

If Fl PaSo is to be believed, not the least of the attractions at the Taft Diaz meeting there will be the gor- geous uniform which the president of Mexico will wear. The uniform, made in Europe for this momentous inter- national event. passed through the Fl Paso custom house the other day on its way to Mexico, and it caused no little excitement. It was to be ex- pected that President Diaz would ap- pear in uniform. Always to his own people he is General" not President" Diaz. Mexican papers habitually give him the military instead of the civil title.

A Valuable Citizen.

The government IS to eXpend an ad- ditional half million dollars at Pres- colt in improvements at Whipple bar racks. Instead of two companies, Whipple is to have full regiment, eight companies. The financial value of this post to Prescott is not meas urable in small figures. In view of the fact that the government at one time abandoned Whipple barracks; that since then the post has been re- established and rebuilt. and now is to ing of this post and its enlargement being due entirely to the energetic &C., tivity of Mir. F. NJ. Murphy-the Tucson Star remarks:
 ITO the Hon. F. M. Murphy must all credit be given. He was the one all powerful friend Prescott had in court. and to him more than to any one dozen else is due the re-establish- ment of the Post. The Star takes pleasure in congratulating our sister city on the value of a good friend in the right place Tucson would like immensely to have one also"
 Mir. Murphy being no longer inter ested in The Republican. this news paper freely joins the Star in congrat- ulating Prescott. Although the writer of these lines has had sharp differ ences of opinion with MT. Murphy on some questions-and perhaps this pa- per and Mir. Murphy view differently some questions now-it is but the truth to say that he is one of the most valuable citizens Arizona ever had. Being man of strong convictions and forceful personality. he of course makes enemies. But if he should die. the people of the territory would be unanimous in saying they had lost one of the most enterprising and useful of all their number. ,s.

ATTEMPTS TO CLEAN
OUT GROCERY STORE

A burly prospector, dusty, drunk and
looking for trouble, walked into a local
grocery store yesterday and started to
clean out the place. He began by attempt
ing to pack away a sack of flour. under the
pretense that it had been given to him.
Proprietor w. 1. Penny grabbed the sack
of flower and the prospector grabbed Mr..
Penny. The clerks and delivery men of
the store rushed up and the struggle was
on. The prospector managed in the scuffie
to deposit Mr.. Penny in box of eggs, and
the latter got up with the seat of his pants
somewhat soiled - from the broken eggs.
The miner was finally landed and took the
count, when along came Constable Wolf
and landed the fellow in Jail. Hereafter a
good "billy'' will occupy a prominent place
at the grocery store for other emergencies
such as this.

Jessup. Nevada, May 2. 1909.

Jessup, Nevada, May 2, 1909.
4 A new strike was made on the Mo
hawk claim this week while prospect
ing the ledge. A shaft has been start
ed ON the new discovery and the ledgt
widens considerably as depth is attain
ed. The shaft is now down IA feet
and the ledge has widened from two to
four feet in width, with stringers OF
picture rock towards the hanging wall
The quartz and vein matter pans large
stringers of gold for the entire width
OF the vein. The discovery was made
about 80 feet southerly from the main
shaft on the Mohawk claim and is con.
sidered to be a parallel ledge. The own
ers are very jubilent over the find and
are going to Iollow the ledge, wnich
dips at an angle Of 90 degrees.
The Portland property has opened up
six-inch vein of ore that assays 500,
according to Mr.. Bowman, consulting
engineer oil the Portland estate being
perated by Ben Harris and associates
OF San Francisco. This vein was open
ed up on the 100-foot level in the drl1 t
which is being driven on the ore shoot.
The drift is now in 80 feet.
Much work is being done on the
Florence claim, adjoining the Santa
Rosa Mining Co.'s estate, where somc
exceptionally rich showings are being
encountered. "At depth of 80 feet
we have opened up three veins of ore
that carry values of from $40 to 800,
said Mr.. Joseph Bonnico. There has
been a series of cross-cuts and drifts
run on this claim.
A new hotel will soon be erected by
Messrs. Hays, Harris & Ogden, near tGc

and a dining room for the accommoda
llon of first class trade. The little
hotel will be modern in every detail. L

J. L. Makeever, of the mining firm Of
Makeever Brothers, of New York, who
have mining interests in Mexico and
various portions of the United States,
and who are interested locally in the
ownership and operation of the Bonan-
"a King mine, in Spring Valley, arrived
from the east Monday and in company
with J. T. Lilly, superintendent of the
Bonanza King mine, departed Tuesday
morning for Spring Valley, where he
expects to spend the next thirty days
in thorough examination of the un-
derground workings and exposed ore
bodies in the mine.
This visit Of Mr.. Makeever to the
sBenanza King mine is preliminary to
an excursion of about thirty eastern
capitalists, which will arrive in Love
lock about the 18th Of June, en- route
to the Alaska Yukon exposition and
will stop off here and visit this mine,
with a view of investing in the prop
erty.
Unprecedented development work
will now be vigorously prosecuted at
the Bonanza King mine, which will III.
clude the installation of first class
equipment. 1t was planned to install
this new machinery several months
opo 90 uos nuhl;obad in tho Trihu n %
some time ago, and at a meeting of the
stockholders of the company held in
New York last October, the capitaliza-
tion of the company was increased for
this purpose. The extensive interests
of the Makeever Brothers, however,
claimed their attentions to new fields,
and they have not had the time to de-
vote their attention as they had plan
ned. Now, however, their interests in
Mexico and other places are running
smoothly and they are taking up the
development of the Bonanza King
mine.
An indication of their faith in the
property is seen in the fact that this
firm has deposited $225,000 in securi-
ties in the National Shamut Bank of
Boston, as a guarantee, and to protect
the investors in the Bonanza King
mine.

UNPRECEDENTED WORK
IN development Of
THE BONANZA king

by subscriptions to the stock in the
mine, the equipment mentioned in the
issue of the Tribune of several months
ago will be installed at once.
The mine will be run with oil en-
gines instead of steam, and cyanide
annex with other Improvements will be
added. At the mine an air compress
sor and drills will be installed the
shaft sunk deeper, the ore bodies open
ed up, and milling and shipping re.
sumed.
The prospects for the future of this
old mine is certainly very bright. Tne
development work done under the able
supervision of Mr.. Lilly has uncovered
ore bodies that were supposed to have
fDeen lost, through taultIng and other
wise, and in the search for which thou.
sands of dollars have been expended in
the past. The Bonanza King is one of
Humboldt county's early day produc-
ers, and stock in the mine sold on the
Comstock exchange years ago as high
as $l5 a share. Ore bodies were lost
and the stock dropped.
Extensive development work has
proved the existence of their continu-
alton and the prospects that the mine
will again be a big producer are ex-
cellent.

The firm of Makeever Brothers, Ct
which j. L. Makeever is treasurer
maintains the control of some of the
world s great mines, notably the Ell
Favor mine of the state OF Jalisco
Mexico. In fact this firm has the
credit of opening the state OF Jalisco
about seven years ago, and in then
mines in this district over 2,2O0 men
are employed. In the Amparo mine l.,
900 men are employed and this mine
distributed dividends for the fiscal
year just ended over $250,000, or a rate
OF 40 per cent on the investment. The
Ell Favor mine is the third largest sill
yer mine in the world. The Southern
Pacific railroad built 100 miles out of
| it's way to reach this mine.
This indicates the character and
standing of the interests backing the
Bonanza King, and there would seem
nothing to hinder a development OF
the mine that will put it in the ranks OF
! Humboldt county's big producers.
