BUCKH0RN WILL RIVAL
THE RAND OF AFRICA

Ely Record: A prominent mining
engineer who arrived in Ely this week
from Buckhorn. the new mining camp
in Eureka County. and who 10 not in
terested in that section or the district.
states that Buckhorn is the making Of
the greatest gold camp in the world.
He predicts that within two years it
will rival Goldfeld in output, and In
Eve years it will equal the Rand. He
states that a lead 70 feet in width, and
averaging $40 in gold, has been pros
pected for q distance of n mile. and
the end has rot yet been reached. A
number Of shafts and crosscuts have
beer run, and it is now estimated that
at least "a. 200. 900 worth Of ore has
been blocked out IN the mine. The
lead can be worked by steam shovels
from one end to the other, aud as the
ore is . cyaniding proposition. the out.
pot can be produced for less money
than In any other camp in the world.
George Wingfeld. the GoldAeld mil
l~ionaire mining man, 10 the owner Of
the property. and is spending much
money in development work. which
will be continued during the present
year. Next year the largest cyaniding
plant 10 the world will be erected, after
which the camp will be On . producing
basis.
Our informant states that during a
mining experience extending over near
ly 80 years. In ell sections Of the
country from Alaska to South America.
he has never before seen such q show.
ing Of mineral wealth, or one that could
be operated for so little money. In his
opinion Golddeld will vol be only
"second best" as q producer on this
continent. and he expects to live to see
the day when Bnckhorn will rival the
Rand In output Of gold. The camp now
has q population of about $50 people.
with stores, hotels. restaurants and
saloons in plenty.

GOV. HUGHES "BUTT.IN. .

Referring to Governor Hughes
attack upon the income tax James
X. Peterson Of New York writes to
the World to say: "In the discus
sion OF Governor Hughes objection
to the income tax amendment the
most important points seem to have
been overlooked. The Governor had
no right to NEEDLE in the case at all.
The constitution does not allow the
Governor of State a voice in the
making of constitutional amend
ments; that duty devolves on the
Legislature alone. Mr.. Hughes as IA
private citizen can express his 0pin-
ion freely, but the Governor of New
York had no right to send message
to the Legislature either favoring OF
opposing the amendment. He vic.
lated the constitution In SO doing.

TRUSTING TAFT. "

Nebraska's Senator Burkett, who
! ing quite time with his constituency
on account of his failure to support
the common people and his open and
unqualified support of Taft-Cannon-
Aldrich and the crowd that is for the
few as against he many. The other
night Burkett made "A speech in
Washington To the Nebraska Repub-
can club, and incidentally his whole
plea was to trust Taft" He claimed
this was the panacea for all of the
country's ills and would cure them
all.
"Trust.Taft"-and don't worry, or
fret, or get mad, or think for your
self just trust Taft IT is the
voice Of the sluggard, the coward,
the trimmer. To the distracted hosts
of Republicanism it comes from many
quarters. But il comes lOudest and
most earnestly from just two sources
from those who want to hold the
sinking ship together till they can
reach shore just once more, like
Burkett, and from those who have
placed their entire and unquestion-
ing trust In Taft TO do all he can to
beat down insurgency and hold the
prov of the old ship pointing directly
toward the north star of toryism.
Trust Taft" says Aldrich, "trust
Taft" says Cannon, trust Taft, y
says Ballinger, trust Taft " say the
trusts, and trust Taft" echoes
Burkett.
But why should the plain people
trust Taft? Why should honest Re.
publicans trust him?

Moreover, il he objected to the
amendment because 1t would allow
Congress to tax the income from
state bonds, he ought to have said
so when the amendment was peuuing
In Congress. His failure to do so
casts doubt on his good faith.
But the objection itself is unsound.
The constitution as 1t is authorizes
Congress to tax the States them
selves, apportioning the tax accord
Ing to population. There is nothing
in the constitution to prevent the
federal Governments raising it's en-
tire revenue In that way. And as
Congress already has power to tax
the States, there can be no harm in
! giving II power to tax the income
