SPLENDID REPORTS
FROM COMSTOCK MINES
Big Extraction Sends Stocks Up
Development Shows Ore

The strike in the Mexican mine in
Virginia, City is certainly making
new. history for the old Comstock
lode. Many people believed that it
would be impossible to ever raise
the value of any stock on the lode to
the five dollar mark At the close OF
the sales Saturday Mexican reached
$3.50 This is a new record for that
property. The pleasing feature of
this raise in the price of stock val
ues is that it is based on ore extrac-
ton and ore in sight 1t is not stu
alton or particular boom, but values
that are doing the business.
Ophir and Con.Virginia are also
in the shipping class. The weekly
reports from the mines are making

ROOSEvELT'S FURTHER DEFENSE OF
HIS STEEL CORPORATION POLICY

which, of course, my answer was that
it was not my business, and neither
was it in my power to search the hid
den domain of motive, and that my
action was conditioned, not upon what
believed to be the motives actual
ing the Steel Corporation, but upon
my belief that the action which they
proposed taking would be enormously
to the benefit of the community at
large at that particular moment;
whether the chief motive for their &C
tion was a desire to absorb the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company or
whether their chief motive was to
save the threatened New York firm
from failure, and thereby stop the
panic was of no concern to me.
THAT both motives were in their
minds l thought possible, and now
think possible. What was the FREEDOM
inant motive was of no consequence.
My concern was that the action should
be taken and the situation saved in
the interests of the people of the
United States. Most individuals have
short memories, and the events in
question took place nearly four years
ago; but if any one will look back
and think the matter over seriously
and in good faith he will understand
that it was not a question of saving
any bank or trust company from fail
ure; the question was of saving the
plain PEOPLE, the common people, in
all parts of the United States from
dreadful misery and suffering, and this
was what my action did.

HEARST OPENS A FIGHT ON
TAFT AND MAY HIMSELF Be
A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, Aug 20. The
heavy artillery of William R. Hearst
having opened up on President Taft
marks the opening OF the most vicious
political fight in the history of the
country according to political opinion
today.
At the same time the booming of
the Hearst guns is declared to indi-
cate that MIR. Hearst is to take most
active part in the coming campaign,
possibly as a candidate for President
himself.
Ranking President Taft as having
gone over to the interests" by his
tariff vetoes, the New York editor in
Inmates that if the Democrats nomi-
nate the same kind of a man as their
candidate for President, there will be
a third party candidate, representing
progressive politics of both parties.
Summing up his onslaught on Mr.
Taft, with whom ne has heretofore
been most friendly, Mr.. Hearst says:
"If the trusts, through CORFU ton
and coercion, shall control the Demo
cratic convention, as they will the Re-
publican convention; if they shall
nominate a trust-contToled Democrat,
as they will nominate a trust-con-
trolled Republican, then let the Demo
cratic Progressive League unite with
the Republican Progressive League
and place a genuine progressive of
whatever party in the field, fearlessly
to make the fight for the citizens and
to oppose the bipartisan representa-
tives of the trusts.
Calls It First Gun.
"Mr. Taft has fired the first gun of
the campaign of 1912 from the camp
of intrenched privilege Let the heavy
artillery of the PEOPLE thunder a de-
fant answer; one swallow does not
make a summer, and one deserter does
not make a disaster, even though he
be the President of the United
States"
The significance of the Hearst pro
nunciamento is not so much in thai
it opens up a terrific fight on the Pres
ident by the Democrats and the Re
publican insurgents, to be kept up
from now until the close of the polls
in November next, as that it means
that Mr.. Hearst himself may be a can
didate for President, either on the
Democratic ticket or on third party
ticket.
Some months ago Mr.. Hearst, who
had done much to nelp elect Governor
Harmon of Ohio, for a second term
