NEWS OF THE MINES AND OIL FIELDS
NEW ORE DEPOSITS
ARE FOUND NEAR
RIEPETOWN MINES

ELY. New. Dec. 25.-Two church
drills are being operated by the
Giroux company west OF the village
Of Riepetown and near the eastern
part of the great mining estate.
While no official information has
been given out it is understood that
the drilling operations on this part
OF the property have resulted in To-
eating good ore deposits said to be
200 feet thick and of the average
commercial grade that is being
mined from the pit of the Nevada
Consolidated at Copper Flat. An
other drill is working on the Tay-
lor claim near the northern eX-
treme OF the property. A shaft was
sunk several years ago on this
claim where some very good ore
was found containing rative copper
and the northern area belonging to
the Giroux promises to prove a
very profitable one when active pro-
duction work commences.

DISORDER IS RAMPANT
IN PERSIAN PROVINCES
Turks Are Trying to Gain Foot
ing in Azerbaiian Once
Their Territory

PARIS, Dec. 25.-The Temps pub
fishes a letter from a correspondent at
Tauris, in which the situation IN the
Persian province of Azerbaijan Is de-
scribed. The Russians, says the letter,
still occupy Tauris, and it is fortunate
for the inha bitants that they do so,
for were it not for the presence of the
COssacks they would asSurcdly have
been pillaged by the ShahseVen tribe,
which has advanced to within twelve
miles of the city after plundering a
number of towns. The governor gen
eral dispatched a small body of Per
sian troops against the tribesmen, who
quickly put them to flight and con-
tinued their incursions. The road from
Tauris to TehcTan has been cut and
the couriers plundered.
So much, says the Temps correspon-
dent, for the eastern portion of the
great province of Azerbaijan, the most
important in Persia, for which, since
the proclamation of the constitution,
nothing has been done, and where dis
order and anarchy are rampant. In
the west of the province the Turks are
steadily encroaching, and there is con-
tinual fighting between the Persians
and the Kurds. The Kurds, urged on
by the Turks, have attacked over and
over again the new governor of Urmia.
The loss has been considerable on both
sides, but it is difficult to say what the
situation exactly is. AS for the Otto
man troops, they are continually oc-
cupying fresh villages and continually
receiving re1nforcements The Turkish
consulates at Urmia, Saudj-Bulak and
Khoi have a military guard
IT is clear, says the correspondent of
the Temps, that the Turks are trying
to gain d footing in Azerbaijan, which
formerly belonged to them. The opinion
here is that they are urged on by
Germany.
The Provincial club at Tauris, con-
tinues the writer, telegraphed through
out Persia a manifesto calling on the
Persians to resist the foreign INVASION
and concluding with the words, Our
last remedy is union"
A chamber of commerce and indus
try, the first in Persia, was recently
created at Tauris with the cO-opera-
tion of a few European merchants.
But how" asks the writer, ARE
European merchants to enter into re-
latiOns with it? The Tauris trades
people owe enormous sums to European
manufacturers and to commission
agents at Constantinople. How are
they to be compelled to pay when
there are neither laws nor courts
Turkey is apparently about to send a
consular judge here. This gives an
idea Of the existing disorder"

RUSSIAN INCOME TAX MAY
LESSEN BURDEN OF POOR
Proposals Show an Estimate of
$35,000,00O Yearly Revenue

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec 26.-The
proposals for an income tax in Rus
sia have been estimated to bring in
about $35, 100000 per annum. The num-
ber of persons in the Russian empire
with an income from all sources ex-
ceeding $500 per annum is less than in
the kingdom of Prussia, being sos, 700
only. In the higher incomes. especially
in incomes exceeding $4,000, Russia
shows to much better advantage. The
tax on incomes of $500 works out at
about per cent, on incomes of $25. coo
and upwards at IS per cent, reckoning
together the proposed income tax and
all other forms Of direct taxation now
in force.
If the proposed income tax becomes
law a number of existing taxes, such
as the lodging tax, personal trade Ger
tificates, and similar taxes on industry
and trade will probably be abrogate l..

SAN ANTONIO, Texas Dec. 25.--On
the busy streets leading to Alamo
plaza a tall, erect, white-hared Span
lard, with a face betokenng a station
in life the very antithess of his pres
ent occupation, has beer recently at
tracing attention. Scrupulously neat,
though his garments are threadbare,
the aged man offers newspapers for
sale. He is Prospere VillareaI and 60
years old, a Latin scholar. to whom
French is also familiar, and until re-
Gently of wealth and distinction in
Mexico. He was forced to hurriedly
leave the country where his sons joined
the reVOlutionists.
Senior ViIlareal landed in San An
tonic with little money and no knowl-
edge Of English. Selling papers ap-
pealed to him as the quickest way Of
adding to his resources until such time
as he is permitted TO return to Mexico,
or his property is restored Undaunt-
ed, he asked help from no one, but
began attending the free night school
maintained by the public schools on
South Alamo street. His is the study
of English, and nightly, with more
than a hundred others, all of them
young men or women, he lines up at
the call of the teachers. Nilareal is
not discouraged, though he admits it
will be long time before he knows
the language fluently. He has ad-
VanCed to the point where he can read
English and understand it to d marked
degree, but cannot yet put into prac-
teal language the learning he has ac-
quired. His Latin, he says, helps him
nightly i'll his English, since much OF
the tongue he is learning is derived
from Latin. He rises before dawn to
sell papers and works until dark. Then,
at 1880 o'clock, Le goes to the night
school, spending two hours trying to
grasp English. The appearance of the
dignified newsboy and his story, which
is beginning to be known, makes the
newspaper prosperous.

Compelled to support his mother and
young brother and sister at an early
age and denied the opportunity for a
high school education, the plucky lad
determined to remove the handicap.
He took a correspondence course in
mechanical drawing and secured a di-
ploma. This secured him a position
with a machine supply concern as "a

and entered the University of Texas,
and, appointed student assistant in

means he supported himself at the
university, leaving there after gradu-

MORE ORE FOUND IN THE
FAMOUS GLORY HOLE

RHYOLITE, Dec. 25.-An uncovering
of ore within the week has added per-
haps sixty days If not a few months
to the life of the Montgomery -Shoshone
as a producer. The famous "glory
hole" which has yielded thousands Of
tons of commercial ore, has sprung an
other surprisetby suddenly showing up
additional ore in quantity.
A big explosion of giant powder, set
off the middle of the week, brought
down a large quantity of good ore at
the westerly end Of the big pit, the ore
thus broken and exposed being suffi-
cient for perhaps two months run.
The uncovering may lead to further
ore exposures, and there is no telling
at this time what the life of the prop
erty will be.
1t has been talked on the streets this
week that a big body of very rich ore
had been opened, but there is no con-
firmation of this story
The official report for September
shows a profit of $479051. out of a
gross production of $25,019,S2.

from w-rk by the TaIT Mining COM

drawing to close and consequently
less men are needed. A great amount
of initiative work has been accom-
plished by the Tarr company during
the past year, costing over 5000, 900. An
expenditure of many thousands Of dol

active mining operations begin. The

important Strike of Gold Reported
in District Eighteen Miles
from Parker

PARKER, Ariz.. Dec. 25.-Down in
the Riverside mountains about eighteen
miles from Parker there is intense eX-
citement over gold strike which is
said TO be the most important made in
that section in years. The property is
owned by the Calzona Mines company,
of which company A. w. Martin is gen.
eral manager.
There is a crosscut of seven feet still
i'm ore. An assayer declares the aver
age for the seven feet will run S16S in
gold to the ton and about 90 per cent
copper. Another assayer makes it ten
ounces of gold and IA per cent copper.
one hundred and thirty-eght sacks of
ore have been taken out, and it is said
that the above figures are about right.

OUTPUT Of THE OPHIR
MINE SHOWS INCREASE
Extraction Largest for Several
Weeks, Ore Averaging Bet
ter Than $50

GOLDFIELD, Dec. 25.-The output
from the Ophir mine this week will
fully equal that of a week ago, when
the extraction was the largest for sew
eral weeks, due to the excellent grade
ore taken from the stope in the Hardy
vein on the 210O level, says the Virginia
Chronicle. This week the values con-
tinue to average better than $50 to the
ton and practically the same tonnage
viii be hoisted as for the previous six
days. The vein in the stope maintains
about the same width ano length The
management last week started west
crosscut No. 2 on the POO, which
is being driven from a point in the
main northeast drift 262 feet north of
No. l crosscut, through which the
present extraction work Is being car
rled on. The new crosscut is expected
to cut the Hardy vein at still another
point, the latest ore development prov
ing that the vein has been thoroughly
prospected on this level. On the 2300
understoping Is in process of prepara-
tion on this level, but the output will
be small from that point this week.
The main south drift continues in
strong vein formation with small val
ues, and is now approaching the Con.
Virginia north line. On the 2400 the
southwest drift continues in the vein
formation, with low assay returns.
Good progress is being made this week
sinking the three compartment wnze
below the 2400 level.
In the Con. Virginia mine little of
Importance is reported with the eX-
traction of the low grade ore under
way as usual. Further work on the
1850 ira the old Bonanza country shows
that the drifts are partially closed and
i'm reopening this interesting territory
it is being found necessary to do much
retimberlng. The crosscuts on the 100
and 1850 levels show no changes. At
the G. e c. shafts repairs to one of
the Reidlers was necessary last week,
but only short delay resulted in the
use of the pump.

BALLLNdER WON'T RESIGN.
NATHETHER Secretary Balinger has been requested to

AVHETHER Secretary Balinger has been requested to resign.
WV in order to relieve his party of an incubus, is known only
to President Taft and Senator Crane who went from
Beverly to Chicago on a confidential mission and had an interview
with Bslinger there. Balinger tells an interviewer that he will
not resign his Office, so that if the request was made, for the sake
of the Taft administration, Balinger has refused to comply, and
will stick. 1t is well enough known that immense pressure has
been brought upon Taft to get rid of the Jonah he inflicted upon
the party and kept in place with every evidence of his highest con-
fdence, even after the disclosures of the Ballinger investigation
had placed Ballinger in the public pllory. Not for moral or
patriotic reasons, but only for party expediency, is Ballingers dis
missal urged. AS long as he was only a peril to the conservation
of the nations great natural resources there was no objection TO
the man as secretary of the interior. But it is now evident to
party managers that his name is a serious handicap on party sue
cess in the fall elections, and Taft must yield his weak preferences
for party organization sake. If, however, Balhnger has a personal
hold on the administration, if there are any secrets of his appoint.
ment that may be made public, if there were differentiation bar.
gains and pledges by which his appointment was procured, Bal
fingers defiance of public sentiment, his refusal to resign and his
reliance upon the President can better be understood.
