HIGH GRADE We.
Low GRADE MINES.

mining was comparatively in its in
fancy in this western country, when
business centers were few and far
between, when nearby camps Of to
day were then isolated sections in a
country of magnificent distances
nothing appealed to the miner and
prospector more strongly than a high
grade proposition. This, however,
was not from choice, but was owing
to conditions then existing; to the
long distance from market, to the
lack of transportation facilities, and
the high prices paid fer labor and
supplies, to say nothing OF the in
adequate milling and reduction meth
DDS then pertaining. Now, however,
with almost every condition of that
day and date reversed, it is the big
low grade mine that appeals to the
experienced mining man and mill op-
orator; and, as general thing, it
Is the great low grade proposition
which pays the most in dividends and
whose production continues for years
after the exhaustion Of the rich
mine.
We know that high grade ore ap-
peals to the imagination and cupid
ity Of the tenderfoot and to the pub
lie at large, and that the inexper-
fenced will go into raptures over a
few inches of exceedingly rich min
eral; but. in the long run, the mine
with vast bodies OF milling ore in its
workings will win out and maintain
a paying basis long after the small
vein Of shipping ore has become ex-
hausted. 1t has been stated, and
correctly SO, that foot Of ore that
yields from $50 to $50 ton in the
precious and baser metals, is not to
be compared in value and source of
profit to the eight or ten-foot body
Of SO and $25, ore. In the mining
Of the small vein, but few men can
be employed, while a large amount
Of dead work must be performed in
order to take out small tonnage.
In large zone Of low grade or mill
ing ore,a small army Of men may be
employed, and but little dead work
Is required. Cross-cuts, upraises.
drifts and wines can be driven on
the ore. and thousands Of tons
broken down and extracted at NOM
inAl cost. and without the waste in
cident to the operation of a mine
where Nature has deposited her
treasures in small but rich veins.
The investor, seeking a producing
and paying mine. is generally much
more favorably impressed with a
great low grade proposition than he
is with a mine having rich ore, but
in small bodies. Nearly all Of the
great camps Of the west are, COM
paratively speaking, low grade prop
tons; the rich mines which have be
ositions; the rich mines which have
made fortunes for their owners be-
ing exceptions to the general rule.
Furthermore, the low grade mine Is
much better for a camp than a high
grade, small vein porducer. as such
minc necessitates the employment
Of more men. the erection Of mills.

more money is In circulation as a re-
suit, and the masses, accordingly,

system OF concentration for its own
ores puts 1t in a class with the more
youthful mining districts. AS a re-
suit of this there is marked DIFF
ference in the shipments of ore.
Gilpin had pretty steady record Of
from two to three million dollars
worth Of ore a year. Last year the
output fell below the usual average,
due to various reasons.
There is a notable pickup in min
ing. The Golden smelters entrance
into the field through the purchase
OF mines for the ore to be treated
in Its own smelter has increased the
output to marked degree. Added to
this is the results attained by the
concentrator at Black Hawk. The
Gilpin tramway has figures of over
six hundred and fifty tons for March,
and the shipments were near one
hundred and seventy tons. This II
kept up would be certain to go far
in advance Of the best record of
years past
All Of this has been retained. 1t
merely wanted enterprising business
men to see the situation In its prop
er light. Persistent announcement Of
the subject has convinced capital
that Gilpin is just as good as ever
and what is better than some the
ore does not seem to diminish with
depth.
The National is a well-known prop
erty and has gotten into the hands
OF the Golden smelter people. This
Is one of its new acquisitions. AL
most Immediately it is given out that
this property has ore blocked out
that can be drawn upon to the ex-
tent Of one hundred tons day for
many months. 1t has no great depth
and may therefore prove one of the
biggest producers in the county.
This is merely proving what has
been asserted in these columns for
some time past, that there are prop
critics. a number, which can begin
shipping on short notice. Were the
real conditions known by investors
there- would be . greater number of
mines in operation than now. The
North American smelter people have
opened the eyes OF many to the
real conditions. With their success
must come others. And while this
company has made choice selection
upon which to draw for their supply
of ore. It is not possible that they
viewed every promising mine in the
district. There are some properties
with better records than those pur-
chased by the smelter people. OF
course 1t is not saying that these
may have been had at anything like
reasonable figures. but II the best
were to be had the purchasers could
hope to realize handsomely on their
investment.
The treatment or concentration of
the ores oc this section has now,
no doubt. been solved. This under
stood and with other aids already
and repeatedly mentioned. with the
'
introduction OF new capital. must
come the revival which has never
been doubted would be due sometime.
There are too many really promising
inducements in mining here for Gil
pin to fall entirely into the has-been
class.
This year will show marked in
crease Of output. and as it has
started so favorably 1t is certain to
improve with every month till q time
no one can say how long 1t will
last-but It Is fact that these hills
have been penetrated for fifty years
and now in this year OF grace a re-
vival is apparent. Come on in. the
prospects are fine.

Prohibition To Be Made AT

Little Rock, Nov. 24.-A
statement has been made by
Rev. Frank. Barrett, superin-
tendent Of the Arkansas Saloon
League, that enough Of the de-
nominations have through their
conferences and conventions, en-
dorsed the submission of the
question of statewide prohibit
ton to the people to warrant
them in proceeding with the
work. The petitions will be pre-
pared at once and their circula-
ton actively pushed. Mr.. Bar
rett estimates that there are al
ready $4,000 church members
pledged to vote for statewide
prohibition, and several tllous-
and yet to be heard from.
He thinks that 10000 is not
an excessive number to depend
upon. "This gives the initiation
movement" says he, such a
standing that warrants the larg-
est expectation of results in the
vote on the statewide bill, and
further warrants the announce
ment that the bill will be prepar
ed together with the initiative

people at once"

History Commission Purchased
Lot Of Prehistoric Relics
From Hope Man.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 24.-Secre-
tary Dallas Herndon of the Ark
ansas History Commission is
engaged in arranging the col
lection that was purchased from
w. P. Agee, of Hope, through a
private subscription, for $500.
Mr.. Agee, who is county clerk Of
Hampstead county, has been en-
gagged for twenty years in the
making Of this collection Of pre-
historic relics of Southern Ark
ansas, and made considerable
personal sacrifice that it might
be retained in the possession of
the state. It consists of ancient
pottery, some pieces Of great
beauty and rarity, and a very
large, fine collection of Indian
1ints. ~
Mr.. Herndon is preparing to
enter upon a campaign for the
collection Of Confederate war
rosters, of Arkansas troops, and
is having printed blanks for dis
tribution among the county as.
SCISSORS who will be requested to
assist in the work as far as pos
sible. The Legislature made an
appropriation Of $500 for this
purpose, and while this is not
enough to go very far, Mr.. Hern-
don hopes that it will enable
him to make a start. Much has
hitherto been done in the collec-
ton of original rosters, and
their transcription, and it is
hoped that "a systematic cam
paign will result in the restora-
tion Of the greater part Of these
records, although some have
been undoubtedly lost beyond
recall.
Mr.. Herndon will endeavor,
among other activities Of his Of
fee, to secure the enactment of
a law by the next legislature to-
prevent vandals and outside
searchers for archaeological
specimens from desecrating our
mines and carrying away their
contents. In this way during
recent years Arkansas has lost
some Of its most valuable relics.
The secretary will also en-
deavor to secure all the old
newspaper files that can be
found, and will from now on
keep files Of the leading news
papers of the state. There is
no more valuable source Of con-
temporary history than the
newspaper files of the state" de-
clared Secretary Herndon.

Plan to Ruin Cotton.

Atlanta, Feb. 11.-What purports

was exposed to-day when Governor
elect Hoke Smith gave out for publi-
cation a letter received by him telling
ing of the details of the proposed
movement
According to the letter, which was
unsigned, two men, one from Texas
and the other believed to be from Chi
cago, have in their possession about
100000 live insects which it is their
intention to distribute.
The writer declared to know one
of the men personally and had prom
ised to conceal their names, but felt
it his duty to do all in his power to
Illustrate their scheme, and there
fore, sent the facts as he knew them
to Mr.. Smith.
The matter is being investigated
