Keep the Faith.

Both the House and the Senate
today take up as special order the
subject of exemption from trustee
process concerning which there has
been a disagreement An honest and
an earnest effort should be made to
secure harmony, II possible, but
more important even than harmony is
faithful ness to the cause OF justice
and loyalty to party pledges. The
Republican State platform in 1908 and
again in 1910 pledged the party 10 an
exemption of the wages of laborers
to the amount of ten dollars. Any bill
that assumes to redeem these pledges
must embody this specific feature that
stands out too plainly to be ignored.
1t would be exceedingly unfortu-
nate, well-nigh disastrous, for the
House and Senate to become EN-
broiled in factional strife. Such
controversy won d be the opportunity
of the reactionary who does not want
any progressive legislation enacted.
II would do no good and much harm
Too many important measures OF
great importance to the State are
pending to permit the engendering Of
hostility between House and Senate.
Assuming that when members face
the problem soberly, they will de-
sire to keep faith with the party
which placed them in Office, It ought
to be possible to pass a bill that will
be fair and generally satisfactory
This paper believes that not a few
men magnify the dangers that may
come from such exemption just as
other legis ators magnifled the dang
ers of weekly payment system. II
is impossible to get away from the
proposition that If exemption is right
for the farmer, the professional man
and the skilled mechanic, II is as
right that the unsh'led, the poorly
paid laborer has a right to demand

WILLIAM BELLS FRIENDS
SEEKING HIS PARDON

William Bell, the first man who
was convicted before Judge Mitchell
after he had been appointed to the
bench. will be free man again if
the efforts of his friends and ac-
Quaintances bear the fruit they hope
for. A petition is being circulated
at McGill and will also be circu-
lated in other parts of the district
asking for a pardon for the man
who was sentenced to four years
servitude in the penitentiary on the
first day of last March.
Bell was employed at the smelter
as moulder and was charged with
assault with intent to kill Noah
Marshall, a saloonkeeper who has
a place near the plant. The grand
jury found an indictment against
him and he was tried and convicted
before Judge Mitchell on Februar,
lbs.
When Judge Mitchell asked Bel
| if he had anything to say befor,
sentence was passed, Bell statet
that he was under the influence o
liquor at the time he shot Marshal
and that previous to that time h,
had not been drinking man bu
had worked hard and saved hi
money, which he had sent to hi
daughter, who resides near Sal
Francisco. Bell had told consider
able of his past history and that h
had held responsible positions il
the smelters at Great Falls and il
other places. He admitted that h
did not know when to stop afte
taking the first drink in five year
and said: Il must have been
lunatic to try to kill that man.

condemned man the court was CON

Crnsn Strike Enormons

The Grasp lease on the April
Fool-the recent promising strike
on which has been given some at
tention in these columns-continues
to be an object of interest to the
community. A number of mining
men who are long experienced in
the industry say, after a close exam
ination of the ledge. that it is one
of the biggest things in southern
Nevada. They think from the indi-
cations presented that there has
been fault caused by the contact
that runs easterly and westerly just
inside the mouth of the tunnel, and
that the other end of the ledge lies
further back in the hill.
One piece of quartz was taken
from the ledge last Tuesday that
had streak of gold in it as thick
as half dollar, four inches long
and some one and a half inches in
depth.
Mr.. Grasp remains, to al, apnsar.
ances, as unconcerned as eve' ovel
his discovery. He still works alone
in the drift he has started along
the footwall. AS the ledge matter
is too hard for him to cope witt
single-handed, he is drifting along
the ledge to ascertain the extent o
the ore shoot. When he has salts
fed himself with regard to this h
will crosscut the ledge and ascer
tain its width.

vanson Lease a Big Producer

Swanson Lease Big Producer
On blocks 4 and 5 of the Earl
mining claim is situated the Swan
son lease. The ground occupied by
the lease was the same ground on
which Ross and Lyon started work
some three years ago, and, failing
to find anything to encourage them,
we've on the point of giving up the
lease. About this time came along
John Swanson, who had mined all
over the Colorado country. He ex-
amined the ground and told the
lessees he thought something could
be done with it.
He based his belief on the char
acter of the formation, it being of
distinctive lime character and very
similar to certain formations in
Colorado. His knowledge of the
formation made him feel certain
that at reasonable depth he would
encounter ore. His proposition was
taken under consideration, and fin
ally an agreement was reached by
which Swanson became a half owner
in the lease.
From that time on the develop
ment proceeded rapidly. A shaft
was started that has now reached
$50 feet in depth, and from which
four levels have been run. They
are consecutively the 100, $50, zoe
| and the $50, and the drifts that
have been run from the various lev
els aggregate $50 feet in length
crossing the ledge at various depths
The ledge proper is medium
grade of quartz, and the values, al
though rather low in returns, are
so evenly distributed that there i.
no doubt about the proposition be
ing a paying one. The ledge, start
ing from the southwest corner o.
block 4, runs northwesterly acros!
the claim and leaves the sideline'
at the intersection of the east linz
of block and the sidelfne of tn,
Earl. While the lease calls for onl.
200 feet, the fact that the claim
was located in an easterly and west
erly direction gives the leasers owe
1900 feet on the ledge.
There are two ore shoots on tn
ledge that dip to the southwest an,
apex on the Earl within 20 fee
of the shaft. The ore lies on tn.
lime on the footwall and the hang
ing wall is shale. and the forma
ton is continuous clear across TIL
claim.
The lease is well equipped wit
machinery, there being an 1S-horse
power gasoline hoist. steam pun
of $4,000 gallons capacity. one al

attachment to the gallows frame.
