ECONOMY NEEDED.

The Lawrence World takes Barney
Sheridan of the Paola Western Spirit
to task for his opposition to increas-
ing appropriations for state education
al institutions. We are inclined to
agree with Mr.. Sheridan. Mr.. Brady
criticizes Mr.. Sheridan on the ground
that Mr.. Sheridan wants his party to
make a record. Rather should he
commend Mr.. Sheridan. That is a
iaudable ambition. 1t is a mistaken
notion that every demand Of our pub
lie institutions should be met. Our
taxes are growing higher and higher
on this plea. Let officials be ambitious
to make a party record for economy
and lower taxes. We have been going
too far in the other direction. There
is something wrong in conditions when
the poor mans taxes on his home
amount to more than rent. There is
something wrong when our taxes are
constantly growing higher in spite OF
our increased wealth. Men are grow
ing desperate over the tax question.
And well they may. We sincerely hope
that the Democrats will have the cour-
age to stand pat on the question or
lower taxes. The party which brings
us lower taxes is the party that Is
going to win the confidence of the
people. And whether Democratic. Re-
publican or Progressive the party that
does so is going to receive the ap-
probation of this newspaper, If that
amounts to anything. 1t amounts to
this, anyway, it shows the sentiments
of one, and every one counts, and in
this instance we know that We are
with the big majority. Educational in
situations must adjust themselves to
the new conditions the same as others.

IN THE CLEAR LAKE DISTRICT

There has been more activity in this district during the past two months than for years, numerous strikes, be- ing reported. Among the most inn portant strikes was one made by James Fraser, original locator and part owner of the Twin Peaks Mines. While prospecting in the Black Will low vicinity and doing assessment work, MT. Fraser, uncovered big ledge of fine looking quartz, which pans readily. The dike is about 30 feet in width, and crops for a dis tance of about 75 feet. The ore from this dike closely resembles the Clear Lake ore, and will not have to be very rich in values to make a big milling proposition.
 Work at Clear Lake is being pushed rapidly with a force of about 35 or 40 men and the American Exploration Company has it's mill installed. They have considerable ore blocked out and this with the custom work which will be coming in from the immediate vii cinity, will tax the capacity of their mill.
 A road is being surveyed from the Apache Box to Clear Lake, where they expect to mill part of their ore. This property promises to be one of the big things of the world, consisting of mountains of low grade ore with high grade chutes.
 There is also much activity at he Twin Peaks, and they have started to stope in earnest, and are getting out lots of ore They are shipping their oxidized ore and three four-horse team are hauling to the railroad. This ore, shows free gold all the way through, and their vein is from three to five feet in width This vein crops on the surface for over mile, and shafts sunk all along show this same high grade oxidized ore. It is the opin ion of some of the best experts in the country that the Twin Peaks have enough surface ore alone, down to 90 feet, to say nothing of their large bodies of sulphide ore to run big mill for an indefinite period.-El Paso Mining Journal.
