Bonanza Ore in the Bi-MetaI Mine :.

The great strike of ore in the Bi- Metal mine, announced in the Miner last week, continues to increase in rich ness as the drift approaches the dio- rite dyke forming one of the walls of the vein. Throughout the mass en- countered in the heading assays give results from l4 ounces to 70 ounces gold (2S0$ to 1400S), something un- heard of from that deposit. Hereto fore the highest assay result has been S00S, taken from small streak close to the surface. When the great ex- tent of the mass is taken into consid- eration the results obtained in this drift are phenominal. Measurements show that the ore body at present eX- plotted is 750 feet wide and 800 feet in length, the upper end of the claim being covered by basaltic lava flow of several hundred feet in thickness. The lower part of this flow has been penetrated to some extent, but later developments Will be necessary to demonstrate how deep the great deposit lies beneath the lava mass. Shafts have been sunk in the mass to depth of l30 feet, showing the same general character of ore. Millions of tons are now in sight ready to be broken down and run through the mill The mill is now running on the highest grade ore ever put through and the plates show the result of the increased values by pill ing up ridges of hard gold amalgam:
 Everyone about the mine and mill show the effects that good strike of ore usually has, by wearing smiles that won't come off.

This week contract was let for eX- tensive work or the Alpha mines by it's late purchaser, w. 4. Mcguire, of Chicago, who has in contemplation the developing of the property on large scale. After the completion of as- sessment work on the group for the
 year the main adit drift on the pro- perty will be continued under the old ore body and connection made with the surface. A hoisting plant will be put in and the vein opened below the permanent water level, where it is ex- pected rich sulphide copper ore will be reached. The vein, near the sur face. shows considerable rich glance and carbonate ore, many hundred of tons from which was shipped few years ago to the shelter. The vein is large and well mineralized through out, and is in the richest copper belt of the Cerbat Range. Mr. Mcguire left for the east last night and will return about the first of February, when the larger developments will be inaugurated. This property has been considered by the mining men of the county one of the best in the district and under proper management is sure to make good. Every opening in the
 property shows ore, much of whic h under present conditions is shippa ble

DISAVOWS RESPONSIBILITY

United States Government Refuses to
Shoulder Blame for Attack
on ObaIdia

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9-The United
States government disavows all respon-
sibility for recent remarks made by
Representative Rainey of Illinois, crit
icising President Obaldia Of Panama.
This is indicated in a letter sent to-
day by Secretary Bacon to c. G. Aros-
mena, minister from Panama, in reply
to a protest by the latter in behalf Of
his government.
Mr.. Bacons letter says:
THE utterances of individual MEM
berS are not to be taken as expressing
the views either of the government of
the United States or of the house in
which such remarks are made. AS re-
CARDS the statements in question made
by Representative Rainey the presi-
dent attached so little Importance to
them that he had not even read. them

read them and none of them concern
ing which he had knowledge has any
foundation in fact.

this government disavows all RESPONSE
bility for the remarks of Representa-
tive Rainey to which you refer
In his protest Mr.. Arosmena request
ed a disavowal Of the offensive remarks
concerning the president and republic
of Panama, such as may be deemed

SAVAGE OUTBURST

N AVAGE, between curses, has said
the honest, upright peop of Los
~ Angeles are against consolidation.
His pernicious activity has not been
restricted to objurgations and mis-
statements. He has managed to tack
three amendments on to the bill, and
these amendments are designed ''witn
malice aforethought" to interpose OBJ
stacles in the way of Greater Los An
geles and metropolitan control of the
harbor of San Pedro. Mr.. Savage is
of the opinion that everybody who has
had anything to do with the consoH-
dation movement is a liar and a plot
ting thief, railways and forever. con-
cealing the real purpose Of consolida-
tion and ever scheming to steal San
Pedro and the harbor." Mr.. Savage
has made a great many other remarks
Of a nature which indicates his enthu-
siasm and strenuousness and his zeal
for the cause in which he is enlisted.
How much more highly he values this
cause than the good opinion Of many Of
his fellow citizens is shown by the
rash indiscretion of his outrageous at
tack on George H. Stewart, president
of the Los Angeles harbor commission.
Mr.. Savage, in addressing Mr.. Stewart,
is reported to have ''blurted out a lot
of filthy names that would put a bar
room loafer to the blush.''
To assaiI a man of the character and
reputation of Mr.. Stewart with TRADE
Of foul names and bad language will
not help the cause Of the obstructionists
who wish to hinder the growth and
prosperity of Los Angeles and San
Pedro if that growth and prosperity
cannot be used for corporation benefit.
But Mr.. Savage unwittingly and ur-
Intentionally has been a public benefac-
tor. He. has laid bare to the public
the exact character. status, compost
tion and aim of the opposition to con-
solidation. The people of Los Angeles
will insist that the plans made for the
benefit of Los Angeles and also of
San Pedro, which is actually a much
greater beneficiary than Los Angeles,
shall not be interfered with either by
tie plots and shrieks Of savages or the
yelping of corporation jackals.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-02-10
OIL PROTECTION

IT NDER an exact reciprocity pro-
vision the Standard Oil company
~ has been protected in proportion
to the chance of an invasion Of the
home market by a foreign competitor.
When the Russians endeavored to pro-
tect the oil industry, Russian oil pro-
ducers were taxed at American ports
of entry an amount determined by the
Russian tariff on OIL This of course
made it not worth while for the Rus
slams to send oil to the United States.
After paying the cost Of production,
handling and freight, they had to pay
a tax, and they found by experience
that any market was better than the
-lerican market. A consignment of
Russian oil to the United States would
have been a dead loss, even if it had
been produced by slave labor. If, for
the sake Of gaining some foothold in
the tempting American market, the
Russian oil was then duty free at
American seaports, but that was of
no avail to the Russian exporter or the
American public.
1t simply gave the Standard Oil
trust an opportunity of extending one
sian oil fields, and Russian producers
found American oil competing with
theirs, and underselling it in Russian
home markets, even in the cities near
est the oil fields. The "lesson" which
the Standard Oil trust has sought to
enforce on the world is, it is not worth
while to attempt to compete. This
great and unscrupulous trust, with its
vast resources and it's money power,
dominates the oil situation in the world
today and without doubt has for its
object the formation Of a world trust.
The only way in which it's programs of
holdup and plunder might be checked
would be to put oil really and honestly
on the free list, and not on the reci-
procity list. It is hardly possible to
give an exact percentage of protection
on oil, because, by the ingenious sys-
tenn we have indicated, the protection
has been elastic.
The oil from highly protected oil
country would be highly taxed. The oil
from a free trade oil country would be
admitted free, but then, there wouldn't
be any oil from a free trade oil coun-
try, at least not for more than a month
or two, because the Standard Oil trust
would take advantage of free trade in
the competing country and would soon
have the native product undersold, and
would be buying it in'' at next-to-
nothing, and adding it to the stock of
the Standard Oil trust. With the as
sistance and cooperation of the Re-
publican government of the United
States, the trust has been playing that
ingenious game called Heads, 1 win;
tails. you lose,' and the American
public has had to suffer.
