LUCKY BOY ORE.
New Feature of Lower Levels Excites
Interest-Makes Nice Output.

A new feture of interest-the ap-
pearance of considerable gold values
in the ore in the lower levels of the
Alamo mine at Lucky Boy, is report
ed by John Miller, president of the
Alamo company, which is systema-
tically developing the property which
was made famous by the Lucky Boy
lease producing nearly a million from
near the surface. The ores near the
surface have carried not enough to
figure in the smelling returns, but
later shipments have shown steadily
increasing values, until the average
is SIS and Sc a ton of the yellow
metal in addition to the high silver
and lead contents. The highest gold
values come from the 550-foot level
and from the bottom of the shaft,
which is down 625 feet. The mine
is keeping up its remarkable show
ing ore, Mr.. Miller says, and de-
velopment is being pushed. At a
depth of about $40 feet new level
will be established and it is expected
that this will prove to be better than
any that has yet been driven. There
are two small streaks of very rich
ore in the shaft as 1t is being sunk,
but ii is not following the main ore
zone which lies about Is feet back of
the shaft, on the footwall of the vein.
A short crosseut will be necessary be-
| fore drifts are started on the propos-
ed next level. Shipments of the regu-
lation grade of ore, averaging about
$500 a ton, are steadily going to the
smelter, but the selected carload is
from the richest portion of the big
ore bodies, which range from three
to more than six feet in width. The
proceeds of this car will figure in a
nice little dividend that will soon be
declared.

MASON VALLEY
MINES HAVE
BEST OF LOOK

General Manager Arthur Smith of
the Townsite Co. returned Sunday
with the W. B. Thompson party from
Mason, where he was with the party
during the latter part of its inspec-
tion of Mason Valley mines.
Mr.. Smith Is more enthusiastic
than ever regarding Mason Valley
property since this last visit. He
states that they have a great mine
opened now and that the develop
ment is rapidly adding to the ton
mage of excellent grade ore.
Regarding conditions in the flood
swept area of the Humboldt valley.
Mr.. Smith states that the Southern
Pacific has put its track back in good
working order. Mile after mile of
Western Pacific track in view of
the S. p. line, however, Is out of
with rails and ties sus-
pended in the air, the roadbed hav-
ing been swept from under by the
waters. A considerable amount of
bridge masonry was also much dam
aged.
Now that the Southern Pacific has
its track open 1t is proceeding more
leisurely with the work of permanent
repairs. Trains are operating close
to the schedule and losing but little
time in crossing the reconstructed
portions of the road where the floods
did the greatest damage.

A HOPELESS SCHEME

The Washington Post says that
Republican leaders are already plan
ming to have the sixty-third Con-
gress reduce Southern representa-
ton in the House of Representa-
tives. Unfortunately for these
gentlemen, however, two obstacles
stand in their way. One is the pros
pect of the House being Democratic,
in which case they couldn't pull the
chestnuts out of the fire, and the
other is the probable large increase
in the population of certain Southern
States, which would render them
equally helpless to carry out tins
pretty little scheme.
So far as reducing Southern
representation is concerned 1t is
hardly probable that such an at
tempt would succeed even in the
event that the House is Republican.
If it should be Republican the ma
iority is sure to be a mighty small
one and it is hardly possible that
Northern and Western Republicans
would secure the support of men,
bers of that party from such States
as Maryland. Delaware, Kentucky
and Missouri, nor of any Republicans
who should happen to be sent from
the South, SO that no matter what
the result in November, the South is
not likely to be hurt along this line.
The Ohio Republicans propose to
draft a platform which is to be a
model for Republicans Of other
States to follow. The tariff and the
Taft administration will be unquali-
fiedly endorsed, and no doubt ma
jority of the heavily Republican
States will follow the model to the
point of dotting is and crossing is.
From a Democratic standpoint 1t is
very much to be hoped that this
course will be pursued. There can
then be no more pretensions that the
Republicans intend to revise the tar
iff downward, and the insurgents
will be practically read out of the
party. To make their fight. which
they appear to be waging honestly,
effective, they will be forced to lend
support, temporarily at least, to the
Democrats, and we will see a great
battle in 1912, with little or no ad-
vantage on the side of the Republl-
cans. In the meantime this action
will cut no little figure in the Ohio
gubernatorial campaign. probably
insuring Governor Harmon's re-elec-
ton and his nomination by the DEM
ocrats for the Presidency.
