General Manager John G. Kirchen
of the Tonopah Extension is to be
congratulated for the manner in
which he has rushed along the cree
tion of the new Extension mill. As
if by magic the building has sprung
up and visit to the interior Will
show the major part of the machin-
cry in place, ready for action. And
at this it will not be long before
Tonopah can boast of its second
mill grinding away on home ores,
with a possibility of third plant
to start construction.
A visit to the Extension mill yes
terday revealed the fact that the
plant is nearer completion than is
the general opinion around this city.
When the machinery contracts were
let some months ago, it was the
understanding that the shipments
should be made at certain dates,
and the agreements have been kept

ton of the electrical machinery,
which is now enroute from Pitts
burg, having been shipped over a
week ago. The non-arrival of this
portion of the plant has in no man
ner retarded the process of con-
struction, for other necessary sec
tons have demanded the attention
of the workers.
The ore conveyer, which will han
die the ore when it is hoisted from
the Extension shaft, conveying the
same to the bins in the mill, is COM
pleted as far as the woodwork is
concerned and will be ready for ac-
ton when the betting is placed on
the rollers. This is a minor con-
sideration, however, and but little
time will be consumed in putting
the finishing touches to this depart
ment
Six batteries of five stamps each
will grind out the future dividends
of the company and only wait fol
the power to be turned on to star
crushing the ore. The mill has
been SO constructed that additions

THOUGHTS 6Y THE WAY

Congress convened Monday al
II m. in the short session and
our Uncle Joe, speaker of the House
received an Grafton as he entered
the house and took his seat in the
desk. 1t is evident that the speak
er is popular with a large majority
of the members and will continue
to have his own way and rap the
insurgents" whenever he feels in
an humorous mood. Personally,
Mr.. Cannon is very popular being
Of genial disposition, approach
able and of kindly impulses. A
man however of great independence
of character and strong prejudices,
especially, toward those who do
not like his arbitrary acts as the
presiding officer of the House.
Congress and the federal courts
would do a mighty valuable service
by making competition take the
place of combination in all affairs
of business. Combinations have in
creased the cost of living to such
an extent that the wages paid by
capitalistic class hardly supports
the laborer and his family making
the requirement of a competency
for old age absolutely impossible.
Conditions are growing worse and
the gulf between the rich and the
poor is broadening and vet, con-
gress and the courts are doing

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

The president is entitled to COM
mendation for the spirit of his mes
sage to congress. It is neither
progressive nor conservative but
about half way between the two ex-
tremes and will meet the hearty
approval of men, more influenced
by detire for the best interests of
the country as a whole, rather than
that of factional or party success.
If there is any criticism OF the mes
sage, it IS because of its length,
being at least one half longer than
was necessary to discuss the sub
jects which appeared; and his
recommendation for a ship subsidy
appropriation which is only legis-
lative way of stealing and wasting
millions of the peoples money for
the benefit OF few trusts, already
rich beyond the widest dreams Of
avarice.
The following are the President S
recommendations:
A ship subsidy to encourage
American shipping.
Publicity of political contribu-
tons in elections of members of
congress.
Civil pensions.
A higher rate of postage on peri
odicals and magazines.
A fund of $50, 900, 900 to aid in
suppressing the white slave"
trade.
A commission to evolve a plan
to expedite legal procedure and mi
tigate the laws" delays.
Construction of an artificial is
land and fortifcation in the en-
trance to Chesapeake bay, two bat
tleships and one repair ship for the
navy and the establishment of an
extensive naval base at Pearl Is
land, Hawaii.
A national bureau of health.
Statehood for New Mexico and
Arizona and an appointive COVER
nor and executive council for Alas
ka.
Civil control of the lighthouse
board and separation of the nation
al astronomical observatory from
naval control.
Celebration in 1913 of the semi
centennial of negro emancipation,
and reimbursement of the derosi-
tors of the defunct Freedoms
Trust and Savings company.
Consolidation of the bureaus of
manufactures and statistics in the
department of commerce and labor.
Appropriation for the remodeling
of the District Of Columbia Jail.

POOR PLAN

AS an able writer recently said,
the subsidized or bonused institu-
ton is an image with clay feet and
when he said it, he hit the nail
pretty squarely on the head.
The manufacturing interests of
this country today are bonused,
subsidized made possible by a toll
which all the people have to pay in
a so-called tariff.
Now, President Taft wants to
subsidize a merchant marine. Mark
it that should he succeed he will
have an image with clay feet be-
cause the business will be entered
into not for the purpose of building
up a merchant marine, not for the
legitimate profits that may accrue,
but for the sake of the subsidy
Just to get the graft attached by
legislative action.
OF course there are arguments in
favor of it; it is a poor cause in
deed which cannot be supported by
argument. Some of the best argu-
ments heard have been as guilty of
the crime charged, guilty from So
ciety's standpoint, as they could
be.
1t is said the Devil is always
rich IN aroIlment.

THE BOTTLE CONJURER.
An Old Time Hoax That Caused a Riot
In London Theater

In 174S there appeared in the news
papers of London an advertisement
stating that on a certain night re-
markable conjurer would perform in
the Haymarket theater. He would, the
advertisement ran, borrow a common
walking cane from any member of the
audience and 'thereupOn play the mu-
sic of every instrument now in use.'
It was also promised that he would
take an ordinary wine bottle, place it
on a table in the middle of the stage,
get into it ''in the sight of all the
spectators" and sing while in it. In
the same issue of the newspaper was
second advertisement announcing
the arrival of Signor Capitello jun.
pedo, "a surprising dwarf no taller
than a tobacco pipe" who engaged to
jurer," comforting himself in all man
ner of shapes and finally Opening his
mouth wide and jumping down his
own throat" This feat, not without
reason, Signor Jumpedo described as
the most wonderfulest wonder of all
wonders as ever the world wondered
at"
The night set for this dual display
Of 'wonderfulest wonders found the
theater packed from roof to pit. But
as the time passed and the curtain re-
manned down catcalls and Kisses be-
gan to be heard. Then a man in the
pit stood up and in a calm voice an
nounced that if double prices were
paid the conjurer would get into a
pint instead of a quart bottle. At once
the audience realized that they were
being hoaXed. Somebody threw a
lighted candle into box, and this was
the signal for a riot Benches were
torn up and boxes pulled down, while
the timid rushed for the doors, with
great loss of wigs. hats, swords and
canes. Those who remained, re-en-
forced by roughs from outside, COM
pletely destroyed the interior of the
theater and finished up by dragging
the scenery into the street, where it
was burned in huge bonfire. Nor
was the author of this imposture ever
discovered, although it was commonly
attributed either to an actor who had
been discharged or to a mischievous
nobleman bent on winning a wager

LESS COMPLEXITY NECES-
SARY.

Woodrow Wilson, president OF
Princeton college in an after dinner
address which he recently deliver
ed, came mighty near the truth
when he said: The short ballot is
the key to the whole question of
the restoration of government by
the people" He meant that our
election methods have become too
complex; that the net result of re-
cent ballot laws. initiative and re-
ferendum, the recall and kindred
reforms, had been to increase this
completely and to accentuate the
need for EXAMINATIONS of profess
sional politicians; that fewer offices
should be elective, so that no voter
would have to express his choice
for more than two candidates at
any elections: that administrative
bodies should be reduced IN size
and responsibility concentrated.
But it is doubtful whether political
homeopathy would give better re-
suits than the over-dosing thus
criticised. The truth is that the
stream can rise only at its head at
the utmost. The government of a
democracy can be no more efficient
than is the majority of the consti-
tuency which exercises the privilege
ofself-governnent. Bernard Shaw S

tanned. Following the tip, the basket
bearer was detained, and wooden

The graduate usually ripens at the
age OF eighteen and puts forth one

nocks to hear. This is as a rule the
only literary effort OF his life. In it
he solves great many problems

a job, getting married, paying for a
