WILSON ANSWERS LABOR
Princeton's President Saws He
Has Been MiSrepreSented.
FEARS CORPORATIONS MORE
Says They Can Cause More
Harm than Combinations
of Workingmen.

Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton
University. in a letter to Edgar Williamson.
publisher of The American Labor Stand
ard" of Orange. y. J., denies that he is a
foe of organized labor. At the recent con-
vention of the New Jersey State Federation
Of Labor. held in Newark August Is and
l6, resolution was adopted condemning e
President Wilson is a foe of organized
labor.
Mr.. Williamson opposed the resolution
and proposed that a committee be appointed
to interview Mr.. Wilson and learn his real
views the subject. The Williamson
amendment was voted down, but the pub
Usher. maintaining that the educator
should be heard on the subject, wrote and
asked him for an expression of his views
to publish in the Labor Day number of the
paper.
Writing from Lyme. Conn, President
Wilson says ne has been grossly misrepre-
sented by some newspapers in his views
toward organizer labor. He expresses re-
sret that the federation should have taken
such action as it did, and adds that he
took no action in the matter because he
knew they would soon learn that they had
been deceived. and he did not wish TO NOR
tify them by calling attention to their mis-
take. He had intended to let the matter
pass under silence for two reasons, which
he defines follows:
First, because [ knew the whole matter
would right itself, and, second, because
nave not been seeking the nomination for
Governor at the hands of my party. and to
argue the matter would seem to be arguing
for my nomination. but your letter puts a
compulsion upon me of an entirely different
kind.
| In reply to Mr.. Williamsons request for
an expression of his views, President Viii
son says:
l have always been the warm friend OF
organized labor. 1t is, in my opinion, not
only perfectly legitimate, but absolutely
necessary that labor should organize if II
Is to secure justice from organized capital
ana everything that ii does to improve the
Cohdition OF workingmen. to obtain legfsla-
tion that will impose full legal RESPONSE
'ii1ty upon the employer for his treatment
against accident, TO secure just and ade-
quate wages and to put rea soma BILE limits
upon the working day and upon all the ex.
actions of those who employ labor ought
to have the hearty support of ali fail
minded and public spirited men. for there
is a sense in which the condition of labor
is the condition of the nation itself.
He admits that he has criticised some
acts Of organized labor but maintains thai
such criticism was friendly and directed
against things that were hurtful to labor
Just some workingmen have themselve!
criticised their organizations. IF 1 an
mistaken he says, 1T can easily be showr
that I am. and | shall always be glad Il

Proceeding, the educator says:
I am much more afraid that the great
corporations combina tiOns and trusts vii
do the country deep harm than I am thai

Now that milling facilities are as
sured for Kimberly, zest is being
added to the zeal of the many leasers
here, and activity in this channel of
Kimberly's development is most pro
nounced, says the Battle Mountain Her
aid. The ~leasers are all forging ahead
with effective work, the confidence be-
ing inspired by the assurance of being
able to mill their ores right In the
camp, thus realizing on their efforts
promptly and without the expense of
having to ship the product of their
leases TO distant smelters, is indeed,
making the camp an inviting field for
the conducting of profitable leasing OPP
erations. 1t is interesting to note the
progress that is being made, and the
activity with which the ~leasers are pur-
suing the pay dirt. Nearly all are
working in ore, some have more than
others. but there is not one that could
not furnish a mill run or short notice.
In some instances considerable ore has
been taken out in course of develop
ment, and this has been placed on the
dump or sacked.

LEASERS VERY ACTIVE IN
NEW CAMP OF KIMBERLEY

Hilltop, held by Beason & Whltycomb,,
Richard Keyworth, G. p, 5. ). and
p. NJ. Burns of Lovelock, has a thous-
and feet of development work included
in which is a 500-foot tunnel driven
on the ledge which is disclosing values
of 1913 for a width of "a feet.
On block No. 6 of the Independence,
on which four men are working, high
grade ore is being sacked from a two
foot vein. A raise is being made from
the tunnel level to the surface, a dis.
lance of about 100 feet. On this block
a Thousand feet of work has been done,
and about 500 tons of good milling ore
is on the dumps. The Hamlin lease on
block 9 has several hundred tons of
milling and shipping ore, and the lease
being operated on the Christopher group
by Pete Nelson and l.. l.. Trout is fur
nishing $50 ore from a three-foot vein
occurring between porphyry and quart
ute. Thes Good Friend group owned
by n. p. Nelson of Elko and Frank
Hopper of New Jersey, is showing
paintings of free gold from a large
outerop, while on another part of the
group a four-foot vein of silver-lead
and gold ore has been discovered.

STRIKE near
FAIRVIEW REPORTED

About two weeks ago a ~prospector
named Ihrig brought into Fairview
some samples of rock to be assayed,
says the Wonder News. One piece gave
returns of lis ounces of gold to the ton,
and as the news leaked out among the
knowing ones Of the camp there was
quite a little excitement. 1t soon be-
came known that the rock came from
a point about 80 miles south of Fair
view, and a short distance west of
Lodi. A party was soon made up and
started from Fairview for the new dig
gings. A lot more samples were
brought back, but no more showing
such remarkable values were found,
about SIS per ton being the average.
The new camp has been named Honey
Boy.

RAWHIDE, March 10.-One of the
most remarkable strikes that has ever
occurred in Rawhide was made during
the past few days in the Mint lease,
on the Coalition estate. At a depth of
$50 feet a three-foot ledge of ore that
will assay $500 per ton has been un-
covered. While sinking the shaft from
the 300 level down, at a depth of 800
feet they encountered some very good
ore, but did not discontinue sinking,
nor did they make any effort to de-
termine the extent or the value of the
ore. About two weeks ago they re-
turned to the place for the purpose of
exploration. After a little work it was
found that the screenings returned a
value of about $50 a ton. This encour-
aged the leasers and they began to push
development work more vigorously.
Greatly to their satisfaction the ore
continued to get better with almost
every round of shots, until when they
had run in about 81 feet, they uncov-
cred a three-foot body of ore that we
are informed gives average assays of
$400 per ton. All kinds of beautiful
specimens, containing large quantities
of free gold are in evidence on every
hand. During the past two days the
ore is showing up even richer. Two
tons of screenings which have been
taken out and sacked within the past
couple of days sampled 1896 per ton.

From Manhattan MaiD.

At the 425-foot level of the Thanks
giving, the work of prosecuting to tap
the main ledge is now in progress.
S. P. Santos, Joe Mitchell and Henry
Schubert, who began sacking high grade
from the grass roots on their lease on
their lease on the Durant claim, are
still taking out the rich stuff and now
have quite a tonnage on their dump.
They believe the deposit is a very large
one, as it has shown no signs of ''pinch-
ing out.
George Martinson and George Durgin
are steadily sinking on their lease on
Union No. 3, and their showings con
tinue good.
The run of 1900 tons of Jumping
Jack ore, started at the Val Eagle mill
last week, is running on an average of
S. per ton.

OF MANHATTAN SHOWS
MICH STEADY DEVELOPMENT

B. V. Tarash and associates have re-
sumed work on their ground near Bald
Mountain and are at work in their tun-
mel. They have the bore in about $50
feet, but must continue it another 800
feet before they encounter their main
ledge.
Charles Aspergren and Frank Panion,
who have been at work on the Consoli-
dated Extension ground for several
months, sinking a shaft, have encount-
cred a large body of low grade ore. The
ore will run in the neighborhood Of $40
per ton, and is too low grade for a
leaser to handle, unless ne has his own
mill. The leasers have started a second
shaft on another part of the estate.
The Bath brothers, who have a prom
Using lease on the Union No. 2, have
temporarily suspended operations while
they put through $50 tons of ore at the
War Eagle mill. Tests made of the ore
show it will run around $40 per tor.

THE WILDCAT Law

issue of stock all subsequently transfers
Thereof. and certificates representing the
same. relate back to such original issue
and have TO do with the same Identical
shares. The identity of the stock Is
not affected by the transfer.
"Therefore the imposition of a pen
atty for the n~on-stamping or non
printing of sueh certificates would re-
late back to the original issue, and
would in very substance and actual
legal effect penalize IN act which was
NOT an offense at the time of its com
mission"
And further, in his brief, Mr.. Me-
Intosh says:
ssIt would seem conclusive that un-
der these conditions the only reason
able construction which can be placed
upon that portion of the act In eontro'
versy is that the legislature proposed
to reach only the corporation ITSELF
disposing of shares of stock for 'ts
own financial gain or other benefit, and
not the certificates of private persons
presented for transfer and exchange
for the ultimate purpose only of keep
ing ownership and title clear.
respondents further respectfully
submit that upon presentation fol
transfers, the shares and the certlh
cate therefor lost the character con
templated by the act, that is, that Il
did not itself represent stock issue
or sold, or authorized to be issued o.
sold by the corporation itself for III
own gain or benefit, and then became
and were and are the personal stoel
of the transferee.'
The bill for the passage of The wild
eat law was fathered by Senator Ken
dali of Nye county. The contention
in the present ease is, in brief, thai
the law was never intended to apply
to stock certificates presented to th'
officers of a mining corporation TO
transfer from one individual to an
other when said stock was issued priol
to April Is, 1909.
It is a case which will have a grea'
effect on the mining business OF th'

thing will be in readiness to install the
pumping station by April LIST, and by
June 1st it is estimated hat all will
be in readiness to deliver water to the

GOODSPRINGS PROPERTIES
TAKEN OVER IN BIG DEAL

August Heinze. For a time he shipped
high grade lead ore from the property.
When he became involved in financial
troubles in 1907 he asked that a certain
concession be allowed. AS he could not
secure them he allowed the property to
revert back to the owners.
The properties have always been
worked for their lead values. The
white zinc ore has been passed up, as it
was for a long time supposed to be
lime. In the mine have been found
large slopes of high grade zinc ore, so
that it alone would make a mine. The
Slopes in the Kirby are the largest in
the district. In some places the lead
ore bodies are 100 feet wide aud 300
or 400 feet long. In places the ore has
been stopped up for a vertical distance
of 100 feet.
The other group is the Mountain Top,
which has already been worked to con.
siderable extent. 1t has considerable
high grade lead and also a large amount
of zinc.
The bond and lease that has been
secured takes over % patented claims
and something over 10 unpatented
claims. The lease extends for a long
time to allow the company to develop
the mine sufficiently to decide its
value.-Searchlight Bulletin.

will be commenced. They have several
leads that they know they will tap by
this means, which were shown in the
upper levels and which contained some
very high grade ore. These they ex-
pect to tap, the development of which
will determine the proposition of the
erection of a mill by the company for
the reduction of it's own ores and those
of the Rawhide Mining company, who
are actively engaged in the development
OF the Last Chance claim, upon which
they are known to have some very good
milling ore of a character that will
guarantee a good profit.
The Miller lease is making some
handsome shipments of late. Out of
100 tons the mint returns show $50
ounces at $500 per ounce. The total
value of the bar was $3,0O7.
twenty sacks of ore from the Phoe-
NIX lease on the Queen, amounting to
l495 pounds, gave a return from the
smelter of $s64.O2 per ton.
The last shipment from the Proskey
NO. l Melted a return of $153.60 per
ton, the total lot returning over $1,000.
lhere were seven tons in the ship
ment.
A recent shipment from the KearnS
z lease on the Queen estate netted lH
ounces, as shown from the returns
from the Carson mint. The concen-
trates added gave a value of about
5000.

The handsome new mill of the Edo
ado Occidental went into commission
asst Monday, and since that day has
oeen running practically continuously,
SAYS the Searchlight Bulletin. Built
and erected by the Eddy Engineering
company of Los Angeles, it was part
of the contract that the manufacturer
should make a satisfactory test run of
POO tons before the plant would be ac-
septed by the company. A number OF
the larger stockholders are on the
ground to witness the trial run n
also to attend the annual meeting,
scheduled for next Tuesday. 1t is ex-
peeted that the ore now being run will
plate in the neighborhood of $40.
President C. G. Austin arrived from
the coast on Tuesday and at once got
telephone connection with the mine.
Later he expressed himself as greatly
pleased with the reports received.
