TEX RICHARDS
PIONEER LEASE
HAS RICH ORE
(The RhyoIite Herald. }

Big paintings were secured across
four feet in the open cut on the
Rickard-Garberg lease this week, at
point about fifty feet above the
tunnel where a trench had been run
for twelve feet. The paintings are
estimated to run from $40 to 500 a
ton. AS these values are found prac-
tically at surface some idea may be
gained of what the management ex-
poets to open at depth. A crosscut
will be run at the 200-foot level in
the main working shaft to develop
this and the other lodges exposed.
The shaft is down 1875 feet and for
the last Is feet has been showing
colors. Work has been resumed in
the tunnel. whieh will be pushed
ahead to intersect the big dyke.

CARSON MINT WANTS
THE BULLION

The Carson mint has announced
that the doors of the house are again
open for the reception of gold from
the southern mines. The news of the
refusal of the former shipment acted
as boomerang to the branch mint.
which found that the shipments fell
off to such an extent that there was
nothing to keep the employees engag-
ed.
Shippers took alarm and without
any statement began shipping their
bullion to San Francisco for treat
ment. Governor Colcord. the assay
err in charge. wrote to Mr.. Leach. di-
rector of the mint at Washington,
and has received an answer that
nothing can be done until August,
when the deficiency appropriation is
considered,

GOVERNOR LIKES STYLE OF
MAN JUST APPOINTED

Governor Dickerson seems to be
extremely well pleased with his ap-
pointment at mining inspector in the
person of Ed Stuart and says that he
will be man who will give satisfac-
ton to all parties. He is a conserva-
tive man and will attend to all mat
tiers just as he finds them, showing
favors to none. His especial study
will be for the welfare of the lives
and health of the men under ground
and will so rule that these will be
protected.

STANDARD OIL
May CONTROL
METALS TOO
THE INTERNATIONAL COMPANY
MEANS ACTIVE COMPETI-
TION FOR TRUST.

Since the official announcement was
made of the purchase of the refining
business of the United Metals COM
pany by the International Smelling
and Refining company, the eastern
mining magnates have begun to take
cognizance of the fact that big COM
petitor in the smelling and refining
business has entered the field, says
the Salt Lake Telegram. That this
mammoth concern will not confine its
operations solely to the boiling out of
the precious metals brought into the
markets nor to the selling of the re-.
fined product is also another matter
that has been made clear by the pur-
chase of a large interest in the Gil
roux properties at Ely, and the OBJ
tanning of a few options on mines in
Utah. 1t is clearly discernible that
the great interests in the Amalgamat-
ed Copper company and the Standard
Oil crowd have decided to branch out
in the production, commercialization
and control of the metal markets of
ing of the Utah plant now in the
course of construction an eastern dis
patch says:
The building of the new smelter of
the International company in Utah
has been under way since the first of
the year, and within thirty days seven
miles of railroad will connect the new
smelter site with the San Pedro, Los
Angeles and Salt Lake railroad
which is the Clark road, operated as
a part of the Hartman system.
The important contracts for the
building of the smelter have been
let, and it is expected to be in opera
ton by January /, 1910. This smell
ter will have capacity to start with
of 1000 tons day, and will be di-
rect competitor of the Garfield plant
of the American Smelling and Rein
ing company, upon which the latter
company has expended to date &c.
100000
The International smelter in Utah
will be modelled after the line of the
Washoe smelter in Montana and the
recently remodeled Greene-Cananea
plant. The smelter will be built I'M
der the supervision of the men who
are in charge of the foregoing plants.
Sufficient capitalization has been
provided to take over the Raritan
Copper works, to build the Utah
smelter and to furnish ample working
capital. The Utah smelter has al
ready made contracts for practically
the entire capacity of the works to be
erected, and it is likely that the ca
pacity will be enlarged before COM
pletion. The plant is laid out in units,
and any enlargement can be made
without altering the present plans.

TIE COUNTY JuDGEsHIp NATTER
Sauce for the Goose as Well as for tn,
Gander

We are informed that there are two
so-called argument" upon which Mr..
Nah0ney affects to believe himself en-
titled to another four years term as
county judge in order to round out a
thirty years period of feeding and fat
tenlng at the public crib:
/. "If Bennett is elected county
judge who will be district attorney"
2. Bennett already has one office,
why aspire to another?"
These two quibbles ought not to be
given serious thought by any thinking
man, cannot be dignified in an argu-
ment and little merit consideration. If
Mr.. Bennett is elected county Judge
the Governor of this state will likely
succeed in finding a fit and capable man
among the lawyers of this county to
assume the duties of the district at
torneyship. The bar of this county has
for many years enjoyed q reputation
for ability and has in all respect COM
pared favorably with that of any coun-
~ in the state If Mr.. Bennett is
elected county judge there will be added
to the list of eligibles the name of Mr..
Mahoney also.
During the past six years that Mr..
Mahoney has been running for county
judge in the spring and congress in the
t2}i no one ever suggested "Who will
be comfy judge if Mahoney is elected
to cong ress?' Even his political en-
emies made no such foolish suggestion
Everyone conceded that though he was
then county judge he had a perfect
right to aspire to the higher place.
Every one knew that if he was elected
10 congress new man would be ap
pointed county Judge MIR. Bennett not
only recognized MIR. Mahoney's right to
seek advancement but assisted him to
that end. We can scarcely understand
why that which was conceded to be Mr..
Mohoney's right last fall, viz, the right
to seek promotion and congressional
seat, though then county judge, should
be denied Mr.. Bennett now. If it was
right and laudable ambition for MIR.
Mahoney to seek to be made congress-
man last fall why is it crime if Mr.
Bennett seeks promotion this spring?
Mr.. Mahoney's successor as county
judge, in case he had been elected to
congress, did not apparently worry him
last fall though Mr.. Benefits s successor
causes considerable agitation this spring.
Had Mr.. Mahoney been elected to
congress last fall the law made pro-
vision for the appointment of his sue
cessor as judge, and the same law pro-
vldes for the appointment of Mr.. Ben
nett s successor as district attorney.
Strange as in may seem, the same
law fits both cases. What IL sauce
for the goose" ought to be sauce for
the gander. Coon Valley News.

THE SAME OLD GRIND AT MADISON
S'me Variations in the Music and Antics
of Performers

The senatorial deadlock at Madison
is still dragging along, although some
new zest and excitement has been ad-
was a bolt of republicans who refuse to
stand by the primary election decision
recorded by the people themselves at
the poles. They bolted the joint session
aC noon Monday and again yesterday,
blocking the proceedings and prevent
ing quorum wheG the vote was taken
for senator. They were aided by the
democratic and social democratic mem
bers. Yesterday sixty-five members
voted in the joint convention, lacking
only two of quorum.
1t is probable this status of the pro-
ceedings will be maintained till March
10Th, the date fixed for termination of
the senatorial investigation. 1t is be-
leved that before that date arrives
Senator Stephenson viii be seated at
Washington, his credentials (the pro
ceedings of the joint convention on jan
uary 26Lh) having been presented to the
senate on Tuesday by Hon. Knute Nell
son, the senator from Minnesota, on
which day it is eontended Stephenson
was elected by clear majority in the
The famous charges suhmitte1 by
Senator Blaine, sixteen in numbe.,
claimed by him to be specific, were
completely exploded by his own testi-
mony before the investigation on Tues
day He did not pretend to make good
in the remotest sense on single point,
and 1t is so admitted by every fair
minded man who heard or has read the
fag Ns4 hot
plete fizzle, so far as Blaine is con
cerned there is no added facts or evi
dence to substantiate the charges that
money was used corruptly or voters
bribed at the primary election in the
interest of any candidate If the in
vestigation developes anything it is
likely to open to the world the showing
that many of the state senators and
other members of the legislature, some
of whom were intent on an investiga-
ton, We're the recipients of and dis
tributors of money on behalf of other
candidates than MIR Stephenso
Doubtless these gentlemen hadn't the
slightest thought that these facts would
be brought To light, but that the poor
devils out in the country who received
a few dollars for services actually rem

Anyway, it is nice mix up, from
which democrats hope TO profit polite

have been leading around a 6
securely as if thev had rings in their
noses, the members of legislature
oven whelmingly republican. Andin the
mean time the public business is being
neglected and the people pay the bills
TO the tune of several hundred dollars
daily.
The CENSOR emphasizes it's declara-
tions of the past that the too liberal
use of money in political campaigns is
to be deplored We note with interest,
also that the men who have been loud
est in their declarations that legislators
kwere corrupted and bought in senatorial
elections, now change their doleful
tunes and say that the voters them
selves were bribed and corrupted at the
late primary election.

MURDERER RGETsLIFE SENTENCE
The Crawford County Fiend Who Shot
His Sweetheart and Her Mother

John Mcdonald, the brute who shot
and killed Mrs. Oscar Lenox and her
daughter, Nancy Lenox, near North
Clayton, Crawford county, a few DAYS
ago, Was taken to Lancaster and there
pleaded guilty before Judge Clement
son, was sentenced to imprisonment for
life. The crir e, as related in these
columns last week, was a fiendish act,
the fellow taking advantage of the two
women at their home while alone. The
motive for the crime was some dis
agreement with the young woman,
whom he was attempting to keep COM
pany with.
This awful murder recalls to the COM
munity the shocking aid cold blooded

miles distant about twenty years ago,
when Andrew Grandstaff shot and killed
the defenseless old couple, Reuben
Drake and wife and their two innocent
