A PIECE OF PEANUT
POLITICS.
Governor Hadley Charged With
Doing What the Law
Directs.

The only thing the Democratic
newspapers have been able TO
prove SO far against the admins.
tration of Governor Hadiey in
support of the charge of extrava-
gance is that he complied with an
act of the last Legislature max
ing an appropriation for the sal
airy ana maintenance" of the en-
ployes who have charge and care
of the executive mansion and
grounds.
Senator Stone, in his so-called
keynote speech, tried to leave the
impression, without saying it,
that Governor Hadley was unau-
thorizedly charging tre State for
the keep" of the State employees
who have care and charge of the
executive mansion and grounds.
These employees have always been
paid by the State, and the last
Legislature made an appropria-
ton for their salary and mainte-
nance" Otherwise, of course,
such charge would not have
been allowed by the auditor nor
paid by the treasurer.
This effort to create false inn
preston is characteristic piece
of peanut politics. The most
charitable explanation that can
be offered in excuse for United
States Senator resorting to such
methods is that he was imposed
upon. Had he taken the trouble
to reao sections and IS of the
contingent appropriation bill he
would have easily learned that
his statement was false.

MONTE CHRIsTo AND
 PEARL CLAIMS LOOK GOOD
CFrom Fridays DaiIy)

IF rum rElodJ DdllyD
 About a year ago H. W. Maylor and H. J. Bowles, two cattle men of Uvalde, Texas, grubstaked W. Q. Me Kinney to go to Sylvanite, where he located the Pearl and Monte Christo, two adjoining claims in the southeast section of the district which has late ly come into prominence by reason of the discoveries on the Ridgewood and other properties. That Mckinney at tached but little importance to the value of his claims, is proved by the fact that he did his location work in gravel bank.
 About a month ago the vein was opened up by a well known mining man in this camp, the first ore uneov- cred showing free gold in profusion and a large number of specimens car rying as much as from five to ten per cent gold were taken out. Efforts were made by different parties to purchase the property but other residents of Uvalde having become interested nc decision to accept even an offer of $5O,OOO could be reached and last week the owners decided to develop the mine themselves.
 Since commencing operations last week the ore shoot has been stripped for a length of ten feet and a shaft sunk on it to about the same depth. The ein proper is about thirty incnes wide of granulated quartz sprinkled and impregnated with free gold; on the footwall side are eighteen inches of decomposed slate vein matter which shows no free gold, but an average sample of this gave the remarkable re- suit of 32 ounces of gold or $640 a ton.
 The property was inspected last week by some of the owners from Uvalde and in consequence of the re- markable showing of specimen ore and the high assays obtained from across the entire ore body, they deeid- ed to operate the property and take out shipment. Only two men are now employed, but already 30 sacks of high grade ore are stored on the dump ready for shipment.
 Many of these sacks are filed with what can only be described as speei- men ore, much of which is worth s a pound or $6,OOO a ton. The Pearl vein has an- easterly and westerly course and its extension is covered on the west by the Lakesight, and the east by the Neptune and M. c. H. claim owned by the Eureka Consolidated Mining Company.-Sylvanite Miner

KING SOLOMON HAS
 RICH STRANGERS GALORE

BISBEE, Feb. 1S.-A meeting of the directors Of the King Solomon Mining Company was held yesterday afternoon in this city, at which were present M. J. Cunningham, Leonard Loehr, Parker WOodman and Jack Me Gregor. They expressed themselves as | highly pleased with the outlook for the company and will continue the work at their property.
 Loehr has just returned from Syl- vanite, and brings with him the news that so far as ne and the other men of the camp are concerned, it's future is assured. He states that the camp is now on it's second boom, and will have no more difficulty.
 "The King Solomon" said Loehr, "is developing its property by means of a tunnel, now in 165 feet in a DOT phyry dyke with heavy iron stains. On the left we have encountered a number of quartz stringers from the Holcomb ledge which pan free gold. We expect to crosscut to another ledge on contact of porphyry and silica, meantime extending the main tunnel forty or fifty feet until we cut the main ledge we are heading for.
 1.-The Sylvanite Board of Trade, of which G. F. Humbert. formerly of Bis bee. is president, and w. J. Stoneman secretary, has circulated a petition ask ing that the board of supervisors at Silver City make a precinct of the town and its immediate surroundings. There is also movement on foot by the board to incorporate the town, elect officers and build up the streets. We hope to have schools open in time for the fall term.
 ''Clark. a wealthy florist from Colo rado Springs, has acquired a control- ing interest in the townsite, after con sulting with prominent engineers re- garding the future of the camp, and is now in Los Angeles purchasing ma terial for an electric light plant, and waterworks system.
 Several of the properties are ready to make shipments before the month is out, in addition to these already made, and two of the companies are buying heavy machinery to begin operations on a large scale. The camp is health ful, and has, at conservative estimate, including the men in the surrounding hills. a population of from 7UJ to S00. '
