Quartz King Mine Jumped

Several days ago w. l. MCGEE, con
stable of Parker, jumped six of Ibe
most valuable mining claims of the
Quartz King Mining Company on the
ground that sufficient assessment work
has not been done to legally hold
them. Constable MCGEE claims he is
not alone in the matter, but that he
has partner who is concerned in the
transaction.
Upon his arrival from Phenix Thurs
day General Manager ]. o. Roger
stated that he had just been informed
of the attempted jumping, and would
resist any attempt by Constable Nc
Gee TO come onto the property to make
good his locations by actual work.
Mr.. Royer further stated that from
January, 1910, until June of the same
year the company had expended aP-
proximately 3O,OOOs on the property,
and he defed anyone TO show wherein
the company had failed to accomplish
its full assessment work on each Of its
claims for the year 1910. In fact, he
said, a considerable amount Of money
was expended in excess of the amount
required for assessment work.
IL is claimed that Constable MCGEE
when he made his locations was armed
and wore his star, to which Mr.. Roger
takes exception, claiming that the con-
stable used his official position to tres
pass upon the property. Thursday
the Quartz King manager notified the
constable not to come onto The prop
erty again. and if he did fOrcible
means would be used to eject him.
1t is understood that the claims will
be closely guarded and any attempt at
further jumping will be met with re-
sistance on re pa: II the company.

Increase of Ore in the
Last Decade.

Regarding the huge increase in ore
reserves in the last ten years due TO
the development of the low grade por-
phyry mines, Thompson, Towle & Co.,
says:
What enormous strides have been
made in the past ten years in the de-
velopments of large tonnages, made
possible through the advent of the So
called porphyry mines, may be had in
an extract from the report Of an emil
nent mining engineer made a decade
ago on what was then one of the
largest low grade copper mines in
North America.
In referring TO the ore reserves OF
this property, which the engineer
places at slightly in excess of 100000
tons, he SAYS: II can dismiss the sub
iect of ore in sight in these claims by
the statement that there are few, II
any, copper mines in the country that
can measure up seven million tons OF
ore upon which there is an assured
profit at the present price of copper" "
1t is interesting 10 note what
changes have been made in the past
ten years in the tonnages of ore re-
serves which have been developed al
some of the low grade mines, and how
many there are total exceeding many
times seven million tons. The great
est tonnage today is that of the Utah
Copper Co., amounting to upwards oi
200. .OOO. 900 tons. This mine is follow
ed by Ray Consolidated with its a.
OOO. 900 tons. Chino comes third with
30. .OOO. 900 tons; Nevada with 10000, OOC
tons: Inspiration 10000, 900; Miami, lS,
600. 900, among the largest properties
while others exceed 100000 tons.
The question of ore reserves in min
ing is of the greatest Importance as
these are the main stay of the mine

GORMAN TO CONTEST
Not Satisfied With Returns of

RECOUNT OF THE BALLOTS
Hopes to Show He Was Deprived of
Votes Which Should Have
Been Counted.

BALTIMORE, Nd. November 17.-Some
of the friends of Senator Arthur P. Cor
man, including not few Of the most
prominent democratic leaders of the state,
are at last definitely preparing to contest
the election Of Phillips Lee Goldsborough.
and within a few days, it is expected,
proceedings providing for the opening Of
the ballot boxes will be instituted.
Senator German is fully cognizant Of
what his friends are doing, and while he
is not materially helping them he is not
at present interposing any objections. AS
the standard bearer of his party in the
recent campaign, he believes that he

Several methods for having the boxes

likely that one will be adopted in few
days, as 1t is realized that to ascertain
the exact number of tickets marked for
Senator German which were rejected it
will be necessary to make a full recount.
The plan which is most likely to prevail
is for Roger w. Gill, who was de-

Basis of Indictments.

The indictments rest upon the doctrine
that refunds from rates paid to persons
controlling routing Of shipments are I'M
lawful rebates. even though the persons
receiving the refunds are not the owners
Of the shipments.
1t Is the contention of the government
that the payments to Sheldon & Co. are
to a shipper. and as such are unlaw-
full. because in the contract of the obliga-
tons of it's contract with Carson, Prize,
Scott & Co. it Is an agent of the latter,
and therefore cannot be, under the law,
an agent of the railroad company
It further developed through the in
quiry of the interstate commerce COM
mission that the tonnage owned by Shell
don & Co. was very large. In order to
obtain the commission on shipments ac-
tually owned by the concern it is alleged
that such shipments were billed from
New York showing Sheldon & Co. con-
signor with Henry W. Ackhoff, vice
president of Sheldon & Co.. as consignee.

Point Regarding Legality.

If the courts should hold that Mr..
Brune's designation was illegal. then.
friends of Mr.. German argue, no ballots
should have been rejected because they
were marked for him In addition to the
three regular democratic nominees. Sew
eral lawyers are also claiming that the
marking Of four candidates for judges of
the orphans court did not invalidate the
entire ballot but only that part which
was overmarked. Instructions of the SUI
pervisors of elections to the judges and
clerks of election were to the contrary.

Responsibility Shifted.

At first it was suggested that Rob-
ert H Carr, who was defeated for state s
attorney, would make the contest, but in
his casedt is contended it would be neces-
sary to obtain prima facie evidence OF
fraud before the boxes could be opened.
Such is said not to be the case regarding
the candidates for the house Of delegates
or for judge.
Asked rearding contest, Senator Cor
man said:
"A number of legal questions concern
ing the rejection of ballots have devel-
oped in the last few days. AS a candi-
date for governor all l want Is every
vote that was rightly and legally cast
for me- ] cannot ask for more nor do
want more. Many of my party who
are deeply interested in the result are
making a full investigation and are
studying the situation carefully. Until
they reach their conclusions there Is
nothing I can say or do"
In many quarters 1t is declared that
the supervisors acted illegally in allow
ing Mr. Bruno to run as a progressive
democrat" Under the law they say a
candidate not nominated in the regular
primary or convention has no right to
use such a term. He should have been
placed on the ticket, they assert, as in
dependent or independent democrat.
which would have shown to the voters
that he was running against the regular
nominees.
