CONGRESS WILL HAVE
 A FULL WEEKS WORK
But It Expects to Consider a Number of Measures and Then Adjourn
 for the Holidays.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA sharp division of sentiment among senators regarding service pension legislation protests. against large congressional expenditures. the Russian treaty ques- tion. continued investigations and the enactment of the urgent deficiency bill into law will serve to keep con- gress busy this week. Both houses will adjourn Thursday until January 3. The Sherwood dollar day pen sion bill which the house passed will probably not find an easy way in the senate. Senator Gore, of Oklahoma. and leading democratic members of the pension committee have already started an inquiry into the possibility of postpOning action until the next session. when there will be no presi- dential election. Senator McCumber. chairman of the pensions committee. while not committing himself to the Sherwood bill, today expressed the opinion that some general pension leg islatiOn will be enacted at this ses- sion.

IRRIGATION PROJECT
 FOR INDIAN LANDS About Five Hundred Native Families to Have Their Ranches
 Inundated.

Another national irrigation project for the benefit of the Indian wards on the various reservations in the Southwest will be launched at Parker. Ariz. within a few days. says the Los Angeles Times.
 The estimated cost of the improve ment, S5O,00O. has been appropriated by congress. and the local Indian ser vice officials will superintendent the erection of an immense pumping plant. J J. Granville. chief engineer. and F. R. Schenk. superintendent of irrigation will have the work in charge They leave for Parker to begin operations today.
 It is estimated that the water. which will come from from the Colorado riv- CT, will irrigate not less than 5000 acres of land now mostly given over to the propagation of rattlesnakes and gila monsters. It will furnish about 300 Indian families with irrigated land.
 The experiments of the government along the line of irrigation, have so far shown that the Indians, if furnish ed ambition in the shape of land that yields readily to cultivation. are eager to devote themselves to agriculture. If opportunity is presented they make almost as good farmers as their white brothers. The average Indian is very proud of his ranch" even if it amounts to nothing more than a garden patch It is believed that the construction of the big plant will give an impetus to the development of a section hereto fore worthless from any point of view

 SULzER RESOLUTION
Mir. Taft, It Is Said, Will Permit No Action That Will Displease
 Russia.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Rus
 sian treaty situation was cleared ma
 terially today when the administration
 plans for the abrogation of the 1892
 treaty became more definitely known.
 President Taft, it is said. will veto
 the SulZer resolution if it should be
 forced through the senate tomorrow
 without modification. Nothing can be
 passed that may be construed to give offense to Russia, if the president can
 help it. According to plans an nounced today, President Taft will send two communications to the cap itol tomorrow. One message to the senate will be considered in executive session. The other will go direct to Chairman Cullom, of the senate com mittee on foreign relations. In these communications President Taft will call attention to the fact that inter national relations are not lightly to be dealt with. The senate leaders eX- pect to hear tomorrow that the presi- dent, through Ambassador Gould at St. Petersburg. has already notified Russia of the impending abrogatiOn of the treaty. This notice, it is be- lieved. will be couched in the po- litest diplomatic language It will probably state the American people have come to regard the treaty as obsolete, and Taft, it is said. has taken the ground that. if he chooses, he can abrogate the treaty by execu- tive decree without waiting for action by either the house or senate He is in this view by members of the senate committee on foreign, re- latiOns.

Henry George Thinks the Residents of Washington and Georgetown Should be Given the Right of Suffrage.
HAS A SCHEME
 FOR THE CAPITAL
If Representatives Ideas Are Carried Out Wash ington Would in Time Be come the City Beautiful of the World.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-Speaking Of the general welfare of the national capital in an address before the Uni versitv club last night, on Taxation in the District" Representative Henry George. of New York, member of the house district committee, expressed his belief that suffrage should be giv- eu the people of the Capital City.
 I'm not afraid of the vote in the district said Representative George. "l believe that the ballot should be given the people of the city. They have already been robbed enough by the injustice of their system of tax ation I'd take suffrage in the dis trict now. if 1 had the chance. re- gardless of the consequences"
 NOT 4 STATESMAN
 The speaker was introduced by Claude N. Bennett. chairman of the entertainment committee. MT. George said that he was not a politician nor a statesman. but as even his friends had tod him. "a political accident"
 T have an idea in my mind" said the representative. That idea. if carried out. will make Washington the GUY DtdullIul- nave cllouSH Iilt deep in my soul tO start a revolution in the district. And. I'm going to start one before I get through. I want to see to this city better. I want to see more property. more homes. more happy faces. I'm here to help the people make this city the most beautiful one in the entire country. even in the world.
 T don't care about this half and half principle I'm not so much inter ested in this organic act of 1878. I don't mean to say that l am opposed to the law, but I think the city would bc able to get along without this act.
 T believe in the greatest expendi- lures and the greatest art for the city of Washington Nothing is too gOOJ for the Capitol City. Every public building should be erected so as to be an inspiration to the people of the United States
 TAXES ARE KILLING.
 The present taxes in the district and elsewhere are killing industry, and men slowly in taxing buildings and personal property. It only discOurages industry and enterprise. It is as ridiculous as the ancient door and window taxes. There should be but a single tax. and that tax should be upon land values. That is one good tax All others are bad. The land tax cannot be shifted. The land owner alone must pay.
 T believe that the present taxes OF buildings. improvements. personal property. and the like. should be re- pealed. and that there should be but one taX-that on land values That is justice. The value of the land is made by the public and by social con- ditions. and the owners of that land therefore owe a debt tO the govern ment which made that land valuable The single tax would make the land values go up: it would make the price O. land come down. IL would also curb the practice of land speculation. The taxation needs to be shifted in the right place. Then it will no longer be a burden. but a benefi- Cence"

CAMP OF AURORA
i BEING REVIVED
OLD CAMP HAS A PROMISING
FUTURE-MUCH EXCITE.
MENT PREVAILS.

The Dickey brothers, who have
just returned from a prospecting
trip in the vicinity OF Aurora,
port considerable activity in that
old camp. The Tonopah Mines and
Exploration company has had an
expert examining and sampling the
properties in Aurora for the j.
part of the past year. and force
of men has been employed retim-
bering the shaft on the old Hum
boldt mine. This shaft is 400 feet
in depth and has, so far, been
retimbered to depth of 200 feet.
1t will be continued to depth
of 800 feet. 1t will be continued
to the bottom of the shaft and
the shaft will then be dropped down
another 200 feet. This shaft is
sunk in a ledge 60 feet in width
and the entire ledge, estimated by
close sampling, will mill in the
neighbcrhood of $12 per ton in
gold The shaft is drained of wa
ter down to the 40O-foot level by
tunnel about coo or 700 feet
in length, but when sinking to a
lower depth begins the water will
have to be pumped upon the level
of the drain tunnel.
This property is one of the old
ones in the camp, and has pro-
duced some millions in bullion
When the mine is in shape it is
the intention of the company to
erect a 100-ton mill to reduce the
ore.
Old Aurora has a record Of pro-
ducing something over 100000, 900
in gold in early days, and there
are no very deep workings in the
camp yet, owing to the floods
water encountered at depth of
from 200 to 500 feet. 1t will sur
prise no one in this section il the
camp again becomes a producer on
as large a scale as in former years.
All it needs to do this is the un-
watering and further development
of the properties.

A Tonopah man who has followed

radius of three miles. It is what
he calls a poor mans camp, be-

1t is stated that the flow of
water in the Wingfield shaft is
1000 gallons per hour, which in
sures an abundance of water for
milling purposes.
A correspondent of the Reno
Journal gives the following story
on Camp Terrell
What is believed by many to
be the most important strike yet
made in the Terrell district, is the
one made last week by Fred Mar
TIM, a restaurant man, who, while
prospecting the hills about one mile
south of town, uncovered a ledge
of shipping ore on the main con
tract The find has added new
life to the camp and confidence in
the merits of the district is strong

men have begun operations on quite
a large scale and will begin sack
ing ore at once.
Two other important finds were
made last Thursday one by Jim
Jewell, who while doing location
work for John Gullingf, Harry
Merigold and other FalIonites ex-
tensively interested at Terrell, un-
covered what looks like a ledge
that would develop into shipping
mine.

progressing with two shifts and 80
feet out in the south crosscut the
night shift broke into the black
formation which encases the vein
where it crops out on the surface,
and which always carries values.
The Thomas 100-foot contract at
the No. 2 shaft, one and a half
miles west of the camp, is about
completed, and crosscutting into the
hanging-wall to cut the rich ledge
found on the surface will begin.
People are coming into camp
every day and securing business lots
