The following editorial taken from the Gold
field Tribune of Monday, hits the nail on the
head, and is worthy of reproduction
If bank were organized in your commu-
nifty and invited your deposits and those of
your neighbOrs, and you learned that the banker
had been twice convicted and had served two
prison sentences for appropriating to his own
use funds that were not his own would these
facts disturb your confidence in the institution
under his control?
3" If this same man should become a promo
ter and advise you as to Your investments
would you in matters where this mans personal
interests were concerned, be disturbed in your
confidence by your knowledge of his past record?
: IT, IN his efforts promoter. he should
secure large investments which were promptly
lost to the investors, and should then establish
IA newspaper for further purposes of promotion;
and should place editor in charge of that
newspaper; and that editor, through his profess
sional efforts should promote schemes of fin
ance leading to large investments and heavy
losses to investors, would you consider him still
safe editorial adviser as to further invest
ments?
9 If the news columns of his newspaper were
reckessly used to promote scaly enterprises
which led to these losses. would You consider his
news columns reliable?

Afternoon.

glory holes, are about to be re-
peated.
The original Villareal mine,
known as the Shively strike, is
shipping regularly, carload being
now ready at Keller headed for the
smelter. That means twenty tons
of lead-silver which is somewhat
richer than the Sam Kee ore in
silver and not so rich in gold.
On this property shaft is being
sunk, now down ninety feet, from
which crosscut will be run to the
main ore body when sufficient depth
has been obtained.
During the week Keller was STAN
peded by AL Whittier, who brought
in a specimen of wire gold ore from
his mine at Swansea which was so
rich it was locked up in the depot
agents safe. The ledge has wild
ened to three feet, with a foot of
rich gold ore in it.-Owens Valley

ALL HANDS FULL NOW.

Of all the nonsensical suggestions aprOpOs of
the revolution Mexico, the limit proposed by
of the newspaper strategy board on this
side of the Rio Grande is that of a neutral zone
five miles wide either side of the interna-
tonal boundary line. ten miles in ALL III which
there may be no fighting The fnesse with
which this is proposed in the Los Angeles
''Times" for instance, is amazing. Says that
newspaper:
1.-The best plan to be adopted for the imme-
date future will be the temporary establish
ment of neutral ten miles in width
five miles in Mexican territory and five miles in
American territory Within this zone no armed
force from either side should be permitted to
enter, except for the purpose OF maintaining its
neutrality. This zone should be adequately pol
iced on its borders at all exposed points, and,
as already suggested, the force of either power
have authority-after previous notice to the
other-to enter the agreed territory within the
zone and allowed to capture drive out any
insurrectos, bandits, I-Won 't-Workers and adj
venturers found therein"
Which means, what? How in the name of all
that's good can Mexico patrol her side of that
fve-mile strip reaching from the Pacific to the
Gulf of Mexico when that government can t
lick the nsurrectos already there?
The proposal is nothing else than barefaced
one that Uncle Sam shall undertake the job, not
only on our own side, but the Mexican side
as well-in other words, that the United States
intervene by indirection. We opine Washington
will do nothing Of the sort. If President Taft
and congress should decide to take hand, 1t
will be much more effectively than to decide to
police a fve-mile strip of Mexican territory.
The same newspaper, which is violently pro-
Diaz makes another mistake, when it says:
''The success of the insurrectos would be a
calamity, for one of the proclaimed purposes of
their leaders is to drive Americans out of Mexico
and confscate their property.
The leaders of the insurrection have said
directly to the opposite. and the whole force
of the rebel arms would be turned toward the
protection of American interests, if they should
he successful For the Madero family headquar-
ters are now under the Stars and Stripes and
nobody doubts but the rebellion would have been
a failure ere this but for assistance given by the
citizens of the United States. Which may not
be entirely to their credit but it is true.
Among the Mexican peones there is hostility
toward foreigners, but none of their leaders has
ever proclaimed it as their purpose TO drive
Americans out of Mexico and confscate Their
property For Madero is no fool, and he has
respect for your Uncle Samuel

LEASERS GET ORE

IN SILVER BELT
DISCOVERY ONLY A MONTH OLD
NOW HAS THREE SHIPPERS
OPENED ON 1T.

Two leasers have found ore on
the Sam Kee mine in the rich sill
yer belt of the Villareal district
and are shipping ore that runs bet
ter than $50 to the ton. Jack
Wardell, formerly a Nevada man,
has a contract for hauling ore from
Sam KEGS own shaft, which is CIV
ing up pay dirt as fast as miners
can take it out. He has an eight
horse team working hauling the
ore to Keller, and makes several
trips each week. H
Never in the history of mining in
this section, made famous by rich
Mines, has property had this
showing on the surface or just un-
der the surface as has the Sam
Kee mine, now just a month old,
which in that time has already de-
veloped three shippers. The ore
goes sixty ounces in silver, $40 in
gold and 40 per cent lead. The
lodges appear to be OF immense size
and there is apparently no limit to
the amount of ore in sight. AS the
shafts go down the quantity of pay
dirt increases, and the hopes of the
leasers and owners go up. No one
in and about Keller has any doubt

TO PHONE KILOGRAMS
New Order OF Western Union
Brings Closer Relations
With Telephone Go.
CHARGED TO TELEPHONE BILL

Beginning with the first day Of No
vember two important changes were
put into effect in the local office Of the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
The changes will affect everyone in the
city who uses the service to any extent.
Probably the most important change
will be with regard to kilograms that
are telephoned to- the telegraph office.
In the past it has been the plan Of the
telegraph company to collect for these.
but this practice, is to stop and the
telephone companies will make the
charge.
For example when message is tele-
phoned to the telegraph Office, the
operator at once notifies the local tele-
phone exchange and the cost of send
ing the message win be added to the
telephone bill of the party by whom
the message was telephoned. The tele-
graph operator is not allowed to re-
ceive payment for these telephoned
messages,
Some little time ago, the telegraph
company inaugurated a system of al
lowing the telephone company to trans
nit messages when for any reason the
local office Of the telegraph company
might be closed. In these instances the
charges were added to the telephone
bill. Both plans have tendency to
bring the telephone and telegra ph com
panies into closer touch. The only mes
sages for which the telegraph com
panies will collect are those sent from
the Office. Messages telephoned from
the telegraph Office to the addressee
will be charged on phone bills also.
Another change, the announcement
of which arrived yesterday, is explain
ed in telegram received from A. B.
Cowan, of the Chicago branch of the
Western Union. The telegram follows:
Manager, Kenosha, Wis.
Effective at once. The practice of
making a charge for the delivery of
kilograms when addresses place of
business is situated or residence is sit
uated beyond mile from our office
viii be discontinued. This company has
decided to make no charge for the de-
livery Of kilograms within the corpor-
ate limits of your city regardless Of
distance from our Office

WOULD GUIDE ASSESSORS
certain that Uninterested Board Would
Increase Valuation on Many Pieces
of the Property in the City but the
Plan is Questioned.

Members of the common council are
being urged to follow in the steps OF
GAINESVILLE and Racine and seek from
the state tax commission a re.assess-
ment of the property in Kenosha and
letters have been received from official
sources suggesting that such a re-as-
sessment of the city might result not
only IN an increase in the revenues of
the city, but also in reduction of
the general tax rate. Racine alder
men appealed to the state tax commits
sion on Wednesday for re-assessment
of the property in that city. The cost
of such an assessment will be about
$500 and it will be done by people not
in any way interested in any property
in Kenosha.
Joseph A. Dalton, supervisor of as
sessments for this county is now in
GAINESVILLE in charge of the reassess-
ment of that city and it is said that
the experts working there viii make
many changes in the figures fixed by
the assessors and that the total valua-
tion Of the property of the city will
be raised by at least twenty-five per
cent. A boost of twenty-five per cent
in the assessment of Kenosha property
would make it possible to provide run
ming expenses for the city with ten
mill tax levy. A number of the mem
bers of the council would be bit
terly opposed to any re-assessment of
the property of Kenosha as these men
believe that compared with other cities
in the state the prgperty in Kenosha is
assessed pretty close TO the limit.
Of course a re-assessment would not
affect the amount of state tax to be
paid by the county of Kenosha but
with an increase in the city valuation
the city would be forced to pay a
greater percentage of the state tax as
compared with the towns in the county.
Men favoring the re-assessment of the
property in the city insist that if this
work was properly done it would set a
mark for future assessors to follow.
They insist that many changes would
be made in the big assessments in the
city and that they would be brought
up to point where if they would not
represent real value they would be pro-
portionate TO the amounts assessed
against the smaller property owners of
the city. There is no crying demand
for a re-assessment in this city like
there was in Racine and GAINESVILLE and
for the most part people of the city
seem to be satisfied with the valuation
of their property as placed by the
assessors. There is no doubt but that
a non-interested board of assessment
would make changes in the local as
sessment and it is just as certain that
no assessment would be reduced.

PARDON rs REFUSED.
Governor Refused to Release Man Who
Forged Checks in Kenosha.

According to adyices received from
Madison, Wis. today the state board
of control has refused to pardon R.
f. Lasley of Zion city, who was ar
rested, charged with attempting to
pass forged checks in Kenosha.
The petition for pardon was present
ed to the board, and the point that he
had in reality obtained no money by
passing the checks was urged, the
board took the case under considera-
ton, and decided that pardon should
uot be granted.
An attempt was made by the author
tiles at Detroit, Mich, to connect Las
ley with number of alleged forgeries
in that city, but as far as is known,
Lasley was never in Detroit in his
life, it is said
