No Community Of Interest.

The steel inquiry has gone far
enough to let us see that the principal
popular indictment against the cap
tains of industry ought to be dropped
I he alleged community of interest be-
tween the big trusts is myth. 1t is
an easy matter for them to get to-
gether and form a gentleman's agree
ment. but. as the testimony shows,
they will not stay put. II the Morgans.
Carnegies. Rockefellers and Gateses
fall apart as to the affairs of a con-
cern In which they are peculiarly in
terested, how could 1t be expected
that they would pull together In a
trust OF trusts whose several interests
were antagonistic. more or less. The
story OF the steel merger brings out
the human side and enables the pub
lie to perceive that the parties to the
fancied great conspiracy are very hui
man, indeed. The steel merger was
not organized for monopolistic rea-
sons, Judge Gary testifles, but in or
der to keep the gentlemen involved
from breaking agreements and seek
ing to destroy each other
Now nothing said or done by any
of the parties to the controversy is
herein set forth as an act of unworthi-
ness. All those things come within the
meaning of the universal rule that
business is business" and the sane
ton Of the common law is theirs.
They are simply marshaled as evil
dence that human characteristics offer
an insuperable obstacle to financial
domination by a community OF inter-
ests. or, indeed. complete monopoly
in any commodity. The theory that
combines would make for peace and
stability is seen to be a pipe dream.
and the proposed shift to government
control looks to be not a whit more
dependable.

Bullion cleanup for last ten days
of June at the Ernestine mines at
Mogollon, was 9,522 troy ounces, with
five tons high grade concentrates.
Preparations are being made to do
considerable development on the Tril-
by group of claims, at Mogollon, with
view of perhaps treating the ore in
one of the local mills.
Good progress is being made in driv-
ing the lower tunnel at the Gold Dust
mines at Mogollon, which will inter-
sect the vein at a depth of some 800
feet from its outcrop.
During the last half OF June the
bullion product of the Socorro mines
at Mogollon, amounted to approx
mately $4,000 troy ounces. Ore
treated for the month was around
4.100 tons.

QUESTION TO BE SETTLED
Aldrich Currency Proposal Must Have
Due Consideration BY the
Congress.

President Taft in his speech at
Marion. Ind. paved the way for the
consideration of the Aldrich currency
proposal at the next session of con-
gress. He declared that this measure
10 not party one. but will be framed
In the interest Of the nation. Even
though it may be advanced by party
machinery. 1t will appeal to the intel
ligence of the American business man
a. above party.
The significance OF this observation
that the Aldrich report, with a bill en-
bodying its features, has not as yet
been made to congress, and the next
session of the lawmaking body will
probably have 1t as one Of the prime
matters before 1t for consideration.
With reciprocity disposed OF at the
present extra session. the major meet
ing OF congress will be free to give
attention to the reform Of the cur
rency. The subtreasury plan will
have expired before the Aldrich bill
has been passed, should it be enacted.
and the country will be in the position
OF having crises develop In Its busi-
ness without some balancing ma
chinery.
The Aidrich plan will be carefully
studied by the country before an ex-
preston is made. Upon general prin-
ciples, currency tinkering is to be de-
plored, but the Aldrich plan would not
be such 1t would be plan for re-
forming the currency so as to supply
needed fiuidity of movement and for
strengthening the centers of business.
There will be ample time to study
the features OF the plan. but the pres
tdent has done well to again remind
the nation that the currency is an is
sue that has been sleeping and is not
settled, 1t Will assume leading role.
and the nation Will be called upon to
give 1t the consideration that such q
sweeping proposal calls for.

BaiIey's Failure a. Leader,

We do not wonder that Senator
Bailey's colleagues should think that
bis career as would-be leader Of the
minority in the senate IL ended. A
leader must. II he is to maintain him
self. win some victories. This mans
record during the special session has
been one OF complete and abject fail
ure. No doubt he thought that when,
at the request Of his associates. he
withdrew his bluff" resignation, he
would be master OF the situation. But
since then he has been beaten all
along the line. until now he has no fol.
towing in the senate except Simmons.
In truth. he ought. II he is to follow
bis own precedent. to resign again. n
he did, we question whether any over
whelming demand for him again to
withdraw his resignation would come
from the senate Democrats.

The Sunshine mine in Boulder coun-

ore.
The ST. Paul mine at Red mountain,
in Ouray county, will resume opera

The old Boston mine at the foot OF
Sawmill hill, near Ward, is being op-

Whitmore & Mcdowell, who have a

month of milling grade ore mined
from a new strike.
Bartlett and Wood, who are leas-
ing on the Richmond at Salida. in
Boulder county, are in wonderfully
rich ore, some of the high grade run
ming as high as S42 ounces in gold.
The strike recently made in the
Modoc mine, on Battle mountain, Grip
pie Greek, is holding up well and there
has been enough ore blocked out at
this time to permit heavy production
for some time to come.
A strike of considerable proper
tions was recently made in the Queen
Ann mine, located near Lake Como, at
the head of Poughkeepsie, in Ouray
county, where large body of good
grade lead-zinc ore was cut at depth
of 500 feet.
From Red mountain in Ouray, it is
in luck with his Kansas City mine. He
has three feet of silver-copper-lead ore
worth about $50 a ton. He is taking
it out and should ship steadily the
balance of the summer.
The Little Giant mill in Pony gulch,
Cripple Creek, is ready for operation.
The Little Giant has blocked out a
large body of low grade ore. running
from $2.4O to s. per ton. The cost of

WyominQ,

After doing 1,16O feet of tunnel work
the owners of the Utopia mine, Cen
tennial district, have opened large
body of ore that runs rich in gold.
A 12-foot vein of sulphide ore is be-
ing opened by William Chase, near the
base of the Snowy range, eight miles
from Centennial, that gives promise of
developing into bonanza. 1t is a con-
:ontrating ore that gives returns of
from s25 to 5000 in gold per ton.
Work is to be resumed in the Helen
Gould group of gold claims betweeA
the Utopia and Free Gold properties,
Centennial district. 125-foot shaft
was sunk, but it drifted away from
the vein. Arrangements are being
made to run a crosscut from the shaft
to tap the vein. Considerable free
milling ore has been taken out that
runs as high as $9S in gold per ton.
One of the most promising gold
strikes ever made in the Encampment
district is reported from near the old
Cox copper property. J. E. Griffith
and Ed Martin are the lucky pros
pectors who made the discovery. Sam
pies brought to Encampment and ex-
hibited show coarse free gold in good

With the more than SEC, ,O0O. 900 re-
ceived from the Panama bond sales
the government starts In with almost
S6.000.000 surplus. 1t Is expected
that the Panama canal drain will be
about 40.O00.Oo during the year. The
showing is particularly favorable
when the fact is considered that In
1908 and 1909 there were deficits OF
$20.000.00O and $5S 900. 900. respective
ly. In 1907 there was a surplus of
Sl11 100000 and last year $15.000.000.
The government has paid out Of ordi-
nary revenues more than $100.0Oo.0OO
on the Panama canal undertaking, for
which 1t is entitled to reimbursement,
but this collection Is not to be pushed.
One Of the most favorable showings
in balancing the books for 1911 was
made by the postal department. which,
for the third time In sixty years and
the first time since 1888. had an ex-
cess Of receipts over expenditures.
The deficit of $17.500.O00 Of less than
two years ago has been wiped out by
Postmaster General Hitchcock. who
shows surplus OF approximately
$1.50O.00O for his department. This

impatring service. for two thousand
more rural routes and three thousand
salaries show an increase OF $11.500.-

During the year the treasury col

revenue-the largest amount ever col
lected from that source-and $313. .600.-

the lack OF any system that has re-
suited in pay roll padding and an easy
manner in handling the cash. Con-
siderable systematizing has been ac-
compltshed and many abuses stopped.
In line with this. Postmaster General
Hitchcock (who has been rather ex-
travagant In fixing up his office), now
proposes to try to make a saving Of
$9.000.000 year on contracts with the
railroads. He insists that the govern
ment is paying that much more than
fair rates. and the revelation that the
railroads are carrying express at
three-fourths OF a cent a pound and
charging the government four cents
for the same transportation indicates
that he is on the right road.
