CAPITAL ID BEING
 LIBERALLY INVERTED

There is no mistaking the evidences that capital is going into mining on a larger scale than ever before. From all directions come the reports of new ventures and old ventures re. vived. The various districts of the Western mining states seem 10 be in more thriving condition than at any time since the desolate fall of 1907. It has taken a great many years to bring the East and West together, but they are more united on the in' dustrial field than ever before. To the mining industry falls a large de- gree of the credit for this union of purpose between the industrial re- sources of the West and the capital of the East. This does not mean that the industries of the East are neglected, or that the West Is with out capital of its own, but such [ large proportion of the country's pop ulation dwells beyond the Mississippi that one must naturally expect lar ger proportion of the capital for nev enterprises to come from these thick ly. settled districts.
 During the depressing times of tw years ago n great many mining enter prises were forced 10 suspend opera tions. while others ceased work in tn midst of incomplete financial plant Those that held on have been show ing signs of activity during the las few months, while the revivals of th character have been the inspiratio of other attempts in practically ne directions. One of the signs of tf times is the tendency of large cap
 tal to take hold of the mining bus

GEORGE MITCHELL PIONEER IN
 SWANSEA
fFyom. Saturday's Daily)

The last issue of the Los Angeles Mining Review announces the com plstion of the svaqsea shelter, car ried portrait of George Mitchell, and gives the following sketch Of this we'll known mining man;
 "Mr George Mitchell, president and general manager of the Clara Consoli dated Gold and Copper Mining company, which has just blown in lits new 70O-ton smelter at Swansea, Arizona, Is one of the most widely known smelter men connected with the history of the Southwest. He
 was born at Swansea, Wales, septem-
 Der, 2s, 1864, his father being George
 Mitchell, sea captain, and his
 mother Ann Matthews.
 | "Mr. Mitchell attended the public
 schools of Swansea, though his chief
 education was gained by private in
 struetion at home.
 "In 1880 he secured a position as
 sampler and assistant in the labora-
 tory of metal works, where, during
 Ia three year connection with the
 company, he advanced in the follow
 ing order to the position of smciter,
 reGner and redueer of gold, copper
 and nickel in the metallurgical de' partment of tho works.
 "He left this employment and went with the south Wales Smelling com pany st Swansea, when, at the age of , l9, he was put in complete charge of
 the reverberatory smelting depart
 ment of that immense concern, doing the work by contract on his own ac' \ count. His position gave him oppor- . tunity to study ores whiea came to . the works from practically all over . the world, and created in him a de !. sire to visit the mines, and with that D end in view he came to the United ? States in 1887.
 "At Baltimore he immediately se cured a position with the Baltimore e Copper works, where he remained fo, c one year. For the next few year 2 he was identified with various smelt ?, ing and refining plants of the coun y try, finally being associated with tn 'e smelling interests Of Montana. II
 1890 he assisted in the construction 's of the plant of the Boston. .Montan "a Copper and Silver Mining and Smel' l" ing company st Great Falls. and upo " it's completion assumed the genera 'a fayemanship of the melters, an V" later became assistant superinten, " ent. While in that position he ii T" vented the circular fore hearth of th " blast furnace, an invention whic
 saves all re-smelts and worked sa' :. ing of about ss0,000 a month in Il " production of copper at taat plan
 "He remained with these interes P, from 1889 until the latter part w 1894. when he assumed charge ps. Senator Clark's works at Jerom nd Arizona, where he installed an .,s. vention for the economical producti ma of copper. He remained there un ,si. the latter part of 1899, at whi

That the United Verde Extension, on whose Little Daisy mine the big ore strike was recently made in the Jerome section, is attracting atten.
 ton throughout the East, is amply evidenced by an interview with
 Louis F.. whicher, treasurer of the
 company, which appears in the Bos'
 ton Financial News, a leading hnan.
 cisl mining journal of the country. The article follows:
 United vsrds Extsndon. Louis F.. whicher, of Ball & whieher, who is treasurer of the
 United Verde Extension Mining com pany, is in Boston for a few days to
 lay the facts regarding recent devel'
 opments at the property before some
 of the large stockholders. The de-
 velopment of the property is pro
 eeeding steadily and continues to
 open up rich ore. The ore is run
 ming at about per cent in copper
 and s7 in gold. The vein has been cut in three places covering dis
 tanee of about 700 feet and every
 where found to be mineraliEed. Il At present the chief work is tho
 driving of drifts from tho different
 erosscuts to connect with each other
 lone of these drifts will go throuel the vein at about 300 feet greate
 depth than where the rich ore strik' , was made last month, and if th , vein is found as expected it vii ! therefore prove the ore body 10 f 300 feet overhead, while it is a' ' mmed that the vein extends to grea c depth. as the ore has been foun n on the 900 foot level.

RATHER THAN co EAST,
 PIONEER SLAMS SELF

When Edward Hugnes, old time crossed the Great Divide yesterday morning, he took trail unusual Co the ordinary prospector, but after two unsuccessful efforts he succeeded in reaching the western slope. IL was only after firing a bullet into his mouth, which went crashing through his brain, that he succeeded eventually in his purpose, however, says the Tucson Star.
 Hughes committed suicide in his room at the Park View hotel shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday morning Mounted Officer Smith, who happen cd 10 be riding along the street near the hotel, which Is located on West Pennington street, heard . shot and stopped in an effort 10 ascertain from which direction the sound emapated. Tn a few seconds he heard another re- port, and decided that it must nave
 come from the Park View hotel. He
 rushed to that place, dismoun'ed and
 hurried into the hotel, inquiripg about
 the shots. He was met by Q cham
 bermaid who directed him 10 eer
 tain room in the hotel, stating thai
 she believed it's occupant had fired
 the shots. Investigation proved tni'
 to be an error, however, and ther
 the officer was directed to anothe room. He found the door locked, bu
 saw through the transom that th' light was still burning on the inside He knocked and received no answer
 Finally he broke through the door.
 A grewsome spectacle met the eye
 of the officer when he entered Hughes
 room. Robed only in a night shirt
 the body of the unfortunate man wa seen standing upon ifs feet, bn doubled up and bent forward in sue manner that the head was restin D upon the floor at the baseboard O - the room, the body literally standin . upon its head and feet. while the arm F extended alongside the body, on tn - floor.
 Two Other Attempts.

Determined the third tin pr to be sure of his aim, he evident s. placed the pistol in his month, and [ at bullet passed through his head. Id The indications are that Hugh
 was sitting on the bed when he hr ,s- the fatal shot, and fell forward, a head striking the baseboard of it room; and still on his feet, he di Ter in that position--s most grpesome ar- unusual spectacle.

AtftfE HAVE, THEN, 1H three great forces in
 the Republican situa- ton, Roosevelt, ollette and Taft.
 All summer President Taft had been engaged in an at tempt to harmonize the pro- gressive wing with the stand patters. He had sent Senator Crane, of Massachusetts, west ward to effect such harmoniza- tion; he had dispatched his private secretary, Charles Norton, on the same mission. But the conflict was as ire pressible as that which brought OH the Civil War; the progress sives had for the time parted company with the standpat- ters; and within the Republi- can Party was being fought a war which must inevitably re- suit in the elimination of one of its clements.
 Either the progressives or the. regulars must dominate in the National convention of 1912. There could be no com promise. The movement for popular government, in which Oregon and Wisconsin had led the way, had gained the nec- essary momentum that some medium had to be developed to carry that movement to it's full fruition.

 senger or freight agent of a railroad is not necessarily a guarantee that he is deeply versed in railroad lore. One of these officials recently wrote to the Interstate Commerce Commission to complain about ruling by that body on joint tariffs. He promised his kick by saying in self deprecatory way that he was merely small reilroad man on a small railroad, but that he believed because of his 25 or 30 years experience on var ious railroads that he could tell the Commission something which might make 1t better and nobler and less inclined to Wreak on the poor railroads it's revenge because they clutter ed up the face of the earth. At any rate, that was just about the essence of his plaint. Now, all communications are re- ceived with respect by the Commission. Anyone may write and make complaint, and his letter will be answered and his complaint looked into. The forms required to get ac- ton are the simplest possible, but in this case the selfdepre- catory railroad mans letter was -handed-a4zar--+a-an-n -nA6cial who read 1t and remarked that "this man has merely a rudi- mentary knowledge of railroad ing and instructed a clerk to write and explain to the general freight and passenger agent as gently as possible that there was nothing to his complaint; nothing at all.
