For every mile of railway there are
many miles of highway. The consider
alton Of corporate profits necessarily
impeIs the managers of railroads to
keep their plant in good condition and
all their facilities up to date. The con-
sideration of advantage to the whole
people calls for similar circumspection
and enterprise in the management of
the common roads. It is not creditable
to this country that in its era of SPLEEN
did and surprising progress in practic
ally all other departments of travel and
transportation and public utilities it
permitted itself to lag SO far behind in
respect to highways, so that today it is
inferior to the Roman empire of nine
teen centuries ago. 1t is well to have
our great double track and four track
rock-ballasted railroads, with electric
trains free from smoke and dust, but
it is lamentable that at the same time
we have not provided ourselves with
rock-baIlasted highways, free from

Repeating the Primary Law.

Minnesota has had enough of the ex-
penSive direct primary experiment.
Many of its former champions have
been converted and are now clamoring
for a return to the former system. The
growing sentiment of the state has
been put in nutshell: In theory the
law is ideal; in practice it is a disgrace
full farce"
"A bill has been introduced into the
legislature providing for the repeal of
the present law, at least as far as
county, legislative, state and congress
sional candidates are concerned.
Wisconsin can sympathize with her
suffering sister state. So far as we are
aware, not single advantage claimed
for the law has been realized.
1t is easy to sheer; and charge that
only disgruntled machine politicians op-
pose the law; but in this state it foisted
upon us the most powerful political
machine Wisconsin has ever known.
Whether it has been any improve
ment over previous political machines
hereabouts is at least open to debate
and honest differences of opinion.
What political right has been secured
to the people that they did not have in
former times? No one that has any
gumption will contend that the people
are enjoying any greater political free
dom today than heretofore. If they
had attended the caucuses Of the past
and taken. as much interest in politics
as at present their voice would have
been heard and their power felt.
The poor man who aspires to Office is
practically barred under the present
law 1t has the most expensive sena-
torial campaign in the history of the
state. The men who contemplate be-
coming candidates for state offices two
years from now had better begin to
save up their spare cash-they will
need it all in the free for all that is
ahead of them.
Weak or bad candidates are impossi-
BILE under the present law, we are told.
As matter of fact, the possibilities OF
such candidates are almost infinitely
enhanced. We venture the assertion
that in our last state primaries not one
voter In a thousand knew the character
or qualifications of the candidates or
the respective tickets.
1t is assumed that the candidate is
responsible to the people who nominate
him, not to the party or convention
Nonsense. He is responsible to the
fellows who pulled the wires and paiC
the bills.
The hypocrisy of this agitation is evi
dent from the fact that when these pri
mary ''reformers' are beaten under
their own law, they repudiate it, cry
ssstop thief and prepare to ss'bolt.
This law is ideal only when it nomi
mates the ''reformers.
It is too much to expect the total re
neal of this law at this time, but som,
such compromise as the Minnesota bill
is feasible and sensible Milwaukee

PROSPECTOR GETS REWARD
BY OPENING RICH LEDGE

Gardenvilie, New, June l0.-News
was brought down from Markleevilla
Wednesday by +. N. Hickey that
rumors were afoat in that place that
Peter Curtz had encountered the big
silver bearing ledge and that the min
ers were celebrating the occasion.
Years ago this was a producing
mine, but a stakeholder fight closet
the property. Years went by and the
property remained idle. Three years
ago Calevaras people endeavored to
clean out the old workings but after
expending a large sum of money
abandoned the proposition, being short
of funds. Shortly after their for.
fixture, Peter Curtz gained control and
instead of attempting to clean out the
old shaft went down the hill some 600
feet and started a tunnel to tap the
lower workings. The news that he has
achieved success and has been reward
ed for his many months of ceaseless
work by breaking into the old Morn

BIG STRIKE rs REPORTED
AT CAMP NAMED RICHORE

Richore is the name of the camp,
twenty-five miles south of Winnemucca,
which was the scene of a sensational
strike last Friday. The strike was
made ON the Philadelphia property.
owned and being operated by the Ne
vada Metal and Exploration company.
Samples of the ore were brought to
Winnemucca by +. G. Butler, superin-
tendent af Che company, and assays of
the ore showed it to carry values of
$3.50 per ton in gold. The ore is of the
'spicture" variety, beautifully tinted
with bromides and c~hlorides, relieved
by splotches OF brilliant gold, sylvan
lite and brittle silver. The mines are
only seven miles southeast from the
famous old Dun Glen, now known as
Chafey.
A number of prominent Winnemucca
gentlemen have arranged to go to Rich
ore to inspect the property from which
the high-grade ore is being taken. The
officers Of the company state that men
are vigorously at work taking out and
sacking high-grade ore for shipment
from Philadelphia Hill. Heretofore the
conservative policy of the company
prevented publicity of their operations,
but reports of the rich ore and extent
of the showings attracted leasers and
buyers of town lots until now leasing
and the sale of lots has as if by magic
developed into almost a genuine boom.

GOOD SILVER STRIKE MADE
20 MILES EAST OF NINA

Charles ID. Wilkinson recently made
a tour of inspection to a district about
20 miles east of Nina, wne.e he IS
interested in the Nevada Lead Mines
company, adjoining the Reatherbell
group, which is just now attracting
considerable attention on account of
an important strike of high grade
silver-lead ore. Mr.. Wilkinson says
that the district is making a splendid
showing. and that the Heatherbell has
from six to eight inches of ore tS-.
will run better than 1000 ounces silver,
20 per cent lead and $50 in gold per
in places, having a general average of
from $500 to $500. Shipments are now
being made to Salt Lake City. The
incline shaft is down 200 feet. On The
surface they had a small streak of ore
that would run about 200 ounces silver,
but this has improved with develop
ment, resulting in the splendid strike
recently made in the bottom Of Ire
shaft.
There are twelve claims in the group
owned by the Nevada Lead Mines com.
pany, in which Mr.. Wilkinson is inter
ested. The main shaft has been sunk
to a depth of 230 feet, and four levels
have been driven on the vein, the total
approximating about 1000 feet of work.
1t is a big low grade ledge, but car
ries sufficient values as now shown to
make it a profitable producer under
favorable freight and smelter rates
which have been offered. A carload of
ore will be shipped to Salt Lake City
to definitely determine what profit can
be made. This group sidelines the
Heatherbell, and the shaft is about
200 feet from the main workings of
the latter. Mr.. Wilkinson anticipates
considerable activity in the section
within a short time.

GREAT PREDICTIONS ARE
MADE FOR MOUNT GRANT

Late arrivals from the Mount Grant
and Cottonwood creek sections cou-
firm the reports of good lodges of high
values recently reported from those
sections.
Stanford Beaman, after spending
several days up there, said to a Bull
etin representative: 81 have spent a
good deal of time among the new
camps in southern Nevada, but in all
my travels l have never seen a cou
try that for large lodges and high
values excels the Mount Grant country.
On Cottonwood creek L found Nelson
Poll rushing the completion of a new
stamp mill that will do much to facili-
tate the handling of ores already
mined, and the only need of that sec
ton of the country is the early com
p~letion of the Cottonwood road, a large
portion of which has been built by the
prospectors up there, and ! believe the
county should come to their aid and
help complete the good work, as 1T
would also be to the great benefit of
the city of Hawthorne. 1t is my opin-
ion,' continued Mr.. Beaman, ''that
the silver-lead belt of the Lucky Boy
extends into that country, as Messrs.
Morgan and Article have uncovered
a vein nearly four feet wide that is
very similar to Lucky Boy ore and on
the south slope of Mr.. Grant leasers on
the property of Micheal Knopf are
sinking a shaft on "a bromide of silver
ledge that looks to me like a big
thing
Mr.. Beaman intends to return in a
few days as it is his opinion that the
next rush will be to the Mount Grant
district Walker Lake Bulletin.
