Giant King Prospects

Everything tends to the belief that
the Giant King, near Washington. is
destined TO become one of the most eX-
tensive quartz properties in the county.
There are three tunnels tapping the
ledge, the lower one having reached
the vein after running a long way
Hotchkiss intends to push the Develop

the ledge is in evidence in the deepest

all the tunnels with the surface, thus
giving a perfect system of air, while

Of the Panama Canal cut was filled up
by great landslide on the night of
Sept. 16. The earth and rocks not

The slide occurred in Culebra Cut, at

There are 100000 cubic yards of
earth and rock slowly moving down
the mountain side. and, havig exhaust
ed every other means to stop it. the
engineers have made up their minds
that all of this material. representing
more than one-half of per cent.
of the total excavation in Culebra Cut,
must be slowly dug out and removed.

The frank. unstinted endorsement OF
President Taft and is administration
by the New York State Republican
convention Is a feature OF significance
in the general financial situation, OBJ
serves Henry Clews. The president
has been conducting the duties of his
great office in a calm and judicial
manner, and has not been attempting
by his acts to advance his own politi-
cal ambitions. His policy in this re-
spect cannot fail TO secure the endorse
ment of our broad minded American
people; and his assurances that assoc
ciated capital is to have fair play
means much to the great army of Am
erican citizens who are the chief
stockholders in our railroads, in our
great industrial corporations, our pub
lie utilities and other forms of invest
ment. The president is at present Civ
ing most careful consideration to the
question Of filling i'm two vacancies i'm
the supreme court. His recent admir-
able selection of Governor Hughes of
New York may be accepted as an in
dication of the type of men he will
select to occupy the responsible posi-
tons under consideration. No presi-
dent ever had better opportunity TO
serve the best interests Of the people
than has President Taft in his selec-
ton of Justices for the supreme court
bench. Agitation against combina :.
tons Of capital and Of industry, not
TO mention the great transportation
lines OF the country, has become so
popular that it is becoming increasing
~ difficult 10 obtain men with suffi-
cient self-reliance. sufficient breadth
OF mind and sufficient courage to stand
out for absolute justice in the face OF
popular clamor. Such a man we know
Governor Hughes 10 be: and we know
also that other present members Of the
supreme court bench are similarly en-
dowed. We have reason to believe
that the new selections TO be made by
the president viii prove wholly salts
factory. The net result Of this situa-
ton can hardly be overestimated. The
Standard oil and the American To-
bacc0 cases under such conditions lose
their force az features Of alarm, and
we may feel thoroughly assured that
whatever decisions are reached will
be based on the constitutional rights

nothing more II these organizations
IN their form contravene the laws,

Mr.. Hitchcock. il is repeatedly re-

His aim is to give the people good
service and at the same TINE return a
little profit to the public treasury. That
Is a laudable ambition. In fact. IL must
strike many as being rather millennial.
That it strongly appeals TO President
his administration. Is suggested by the
statement that the president is to rec

third class postmasters under civil

reason, except the old one based on
political necessity for drawing the lire
