White slavery is discussed, the
view being that there is urgent neces-

greater executive activity to suppress
it. Il believe it to be constitutional"

In recommending separate statehood
for New Mexico and Arizona, Presl-

President Taft discusses the tariff
and the operation of the maximum
and minimum clause in the act. He
says that in the working of this, fear
has been expressed that the power
conferred and duty imposed on the
executive is likely to lead to a tar
if war. 81 beg to express the hope
and belief that no such result need
be anticipated" Mr. Taft says. 81
conceive that this power was reposed
in the president with the hope that
the maximum duties might never be
applied in any case. but that the
power to apply them would enable
the president and the state depart
ment through friendly negotiation to
secure the elimination from the laws
and the practice under them of any
foreign country of that which is IN
duly discriminatory. No one is seek
ing a tariff war, or a condition III
which the spirit of retaliation shall

The president recommended that
appropriate legislation relating to the
issuance of injunctions be adopted.
Previous notice and a reasonable op-
portunity to be heard on behalf of
the parties to be enjoined are urged

President Taft refers to antitrust
and interstate commerce laws which
he says will be discussed in a special

Mr.. Taft notes the objection to the
establishment of civil pensions, but
says he is convinced that no other
practical solution of the difficulties
presented by the approximation of
civil servants can be found than that
of a system of civil pensions.

MOoRE-GRIFFITHs LEASE
BREAKS INTO HIGH GRADE

The streak of high grade tellurium
and free gold ore encountered a few
days ago in the Stoneham-Moore
Grifiths lease on the Combination No.
? claim is rapidly growing in import
ance, and it has widened to
about a foot of high grade, some of
which will assay into the thousands of
dollars, while the entire streak for this
width will ship at fancy figures. As
sociated with the high grade is a strong
showing of good milling ore, and the in
dications are that a permanent ore
body has been encountered.
The location of the strike is in an up
raise 25 feet above the 230 level, north
and west Of the shaft. 1t was made by
following up a small stringer that APP
peared in a drift. The high grade is
being sacked as it is broken, and a con
siderable quantity is being saved.
1t is also reported that a body of
free gold ore has been opened on the
420 level, which looks ven better than
the find above the 230 level.

with Ernest Kennedy in the Goldield
Star Mining and Leasing company on
the Lone Star property, but who has re
Gently bought out Kennedy's interest
in the lease and now controls it entirely,
will let a contract to sink the shaft an
additional 100 feet about the middle
Of the month, and prosecute work with
vipor, in an endeavor to cut the ledge
below the water level.
The shaft in property now is down zoo
feet, and ten tons of ore running 500
to the ton are ready for shipment. Ore
as high as sos to the ton has recently
been found and it is expected that at
an additional 100 feet, the values will
be much higher. Work is now being
done on a crosscut which will run ~
feet, when an upraise will be run to the
$50 level. The lease is working ten
men, and the ground adjoins that of the
Commonwealth, the Simmerone and the
Blue Bull.

OPENS HIGH GRADE ORE
ON COPPER QUEEN GROUP

A. A. Redmond, vice president and
general manager of the Copper Queens
Mines company, (Ldt.), which owns a
group of wen claims between Ida and
Hornsilver, spent a couple of days in
Goldfeld this week, en- route to his
home at South Berkeley, Cal. Senator
Morehouse is president of the com
pany. Nh. Redmond is quite enthusiast
tic over the outlook of their property,
and also of the district in general.
"During The last 80 days we have
opened six feet of ore that will run
5000 a ton, IN gold, silver and copper,
on the 9S-fopt level of the Copper
Queen No. 81 said Mr.. Redmond. 1--WE
are also opening a cross vein that was
two feet wide at surface, but at a depth
of six feet il is getting much wider
and is showing ore that assays SIS a
ton. A drift into the hill from the bot
tom of our 9S-foot shaft will give us
$50 feet depth under the crest of the
hill, and judging from the present
showing, we estimate that there is
$4,000 worth of ore between the shaft
and that point.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-04-03

1--WE are now negotiating for a plant
of machinery, including a 25-h. p. gaso-
line hoist, which will be put on the
property in the near future.
"Senator Clark and associates are
heavily interested in this district, and
there is every probability that a branch
road will soon be built from Cuprite,
which will come within half a mile of
the Copper Queen property"
Speaking of the Centenniol mine, of
which he is a one-third owner, Mr.. Red
mond said that leasers are sacking high
grade from a 3h-foot streak that will
run $3.50 a ton. Several inches of it
will run from $500 to $4,000 a ton.
Associated with the high grade is II
feet of free milling ore averaging $12.4O
a ton. This ore has been opened at a
depth of 50 feet.
In a tunnel down the hill from the
shaft, at what is called the 52-foot
level, a streak of ore that will run from
$275 to $3.50 has been opened. Within
the mex 30 days the company will put
on a force of men to push development,
in addition to the ~leasers.

DAISY NINE IS SHOWING
THE BEST IN IT'S HISTORY

1.-THE Daisy mine looks better today
thar at any time in it's history is the
way Superintendent G. D. Wilkerson
sums up the situation on thai property.
ssThe ore is now running about $50
a ton, and we have lots of it. The ore
shoots are opening in grand shape,
much better thar had been anticipated
until recently, and there is absolutely
no doubt as to the future OF the mine,
and a good one at that.
"The station at the 500 level Is
about completed, and the work through
out the mine is progressing nicely. The
roads are in good condition, and ship
ments are going out steadily.
ssAs soon as the new shaft is com
pleted, to the 700 level, 50 that we car
use it in the handling of ore, the out
put will be greatly increased above the
present figures

WILL DEVELOP
EUREKA GROUP

Confident that they have a property
worth developing and having more than
enough money to carry out their con-
viction that they can make a mine of
it, the Los Angeles and Boston capital
lists who are the principal owners of the
Eureka property, ~one-quarter Of a mile
from the Daisy, in D~iamond6eld, have
sent Frank Case, their representative
and a mining expert whose field has
ranged from old Mexico to British Col
umbia, to Goldfeld to undertake the
fulilment of their hopes, and he is now
in this city arranging for the immediate
prosecution of work upon the property
upon an aggressive scale.
Within two weeks, the men them
selves, who represent millions of Bos-
ton and Los Angeles wealth, will arrive
in Goldield and inspect the property
and express their wishes more fully. In
letters to Mr.. Case, who viii assume
charge of the property as superintend-
emit, il is stated that the men are in
earnest in their wish to proceed with
the work in a vigorous manner, and it
is his intention to begin at once.
81 have faith in the country, and my
hackers have, also, or | should not be
here today. All the indications are
here, and / am confident that the stuff
is here, too.
"Just q word about some of the peo-
pie you have in Goldfeld,' said Mr..
Case. 81 have noticed that there are
some who are persistent and persever-
ing croakers and knockers, and ! know
that the stories they send out in letters
are doing a lot of harm to the camp
also happen to know, however, through
my employers, that there are men with
plenty of money who are only waiting
to be shown a legitimate mining prop
~osition to come in and spend it in this
camp.

CUPRITE Is MAKING GOOD
WITH DEEP DEVELOPMENT

shaft being sunk on the Goldfeld Won
der company's ground the formation
is showing a favorable change, sulphides
coming into the ledge matter. The com
pany will continue sinking for another
80 feet, and from that point crosscut
the ledge to determine the exact loca-
tion of the ore bodies. The company
has a most promising estate of IL acres,
and the Shaft is equipped with a within
for hosting, which will later be re-
placed by a gasoline hoist of sufficient
power to sink to a depth of 500 feet.
Other properties in the camp are de-
v~eloping and prospecting their ground
with most encouraging results. The
future of the camp seems to depend
entirely upon the opening Of the ore
bodies at depth, and with the vigorous
development of the ground owned by
the companies now operating, there
seems to be nc doubt as to Cuprite max
ing good.

Conditions at Cuprite, the gold cop
per camp on the line of the Tonopah
and Tidewater railroad, four miles
south of Goldfeld, improves steadily
with the development of the various
properties. Shafts are being sunk on
a number of the big gold bearing lodges
which outcrop so prominently through
out the district.
The Birmingham shaft on the estate
of the Cuprite Gold Mining company is
now down 250 feet, and at this point a
erosscut to the south encountered the
apex of a vein which has proven to be
more than 80 feet wide and carries
gold values across it's entire width. The
company will at once install a power
hoist for deep sinking and continue the
shaft to the 800 level where the ore
bodies encountered above will be cross
cut and prospeeted thoroughly.

his mine.
The Cotter mine is one of the best
in the Golden Arrow district, and with
the inception of the railroad from Ely
to Goldfeld, now surveyed within 20
yards of the shaft, should become a
profitable producer. 1t had been in
