Even the Sioux City Tribune, which
has posed as the organ of the bull
mOOsers in South Dakota, and which
upheld the position taken by the cleo
tors when they stated that they would
not support President Taft, but would
cast their ballots for Roosevelt, is now
thoroughly disguised with the recent
position taken by these same electors.
The Tribune fays the electors for the
inconsistent and dishonest position
taken by them for the purpose of en-
deavoring to fool the voters. The
Tribune says: They have acted like
a bunch of Penrose politicians in Phil
adelphia or P~ittsburg.' They surely
have made a mistake if they imagine
that they a hoodwink the intelligent
voters of this state.

THE CASE OF Mr.. ROOSEVELT

In La Follette's magazine, issue OF
Jul II, 1912. there appeared the fol
lowing editorial:
Rcyan at Baltimore, foregoing all
chance Of his own nomination, mar
shaling all his forces, Drawing Tam
many and the trusts to rescue his
party from their domination, rarrying
the convention for the adoption of the
most progressive democratic platform
yet offered and the nomination of the
most progressive democratic candi-
date available, was a towering figure
Of moral power and patriotic devotion
TO civic righteousness.
Roosevelt at Chicago, backed by
money derived from the stock water
ing operations of the steel trust and
the harvester trust, organizing what
are now confessed to have been fake
contests as to nearly 200 delegates in
order to control the republican con
vention and secure his own nominal
ton. refusing to aid in making a pro-
gressive platform, bound to have the
nomination or destroy the republican
party, was a most striking example of
misdirected power and ambition.
Roosevelt had as great an oppOrtun-
ity to serve the progressive cause at
Chicago as Bryan had at Baltimore.
But Roosevelt was serving the man,
not the cause. He wanted one thing
he wanted the nomination.

Congressman Burke, who recently
submitted to two operations in a Chi
cago hospital, is recovering nicely
and will be able to return to the state
in time tocast his vote. the many
friends of Mr.. Burke in the second
district should make it a point to see
that he gets a liberal support, because
he has been unable, owing to sickness,
to spend any time in the campaign.
Democrats as we'll as republicans who
realize what a splendid official Con
gresham Burke has made will cast
their ballots for him on November

this is the way that the bull moose
leaders are proposing to atone for the
theft of presidential electors in this
state. 1t is not likely that the little
five votes of South Dakota Will nave
much effect in determining the result
but the theft is just as despicable as
though it were important to the re-
suit. Moreover the offer is in bad
faith. They say if Mr.. Roosevelt can
not be elected and their votes would
elect Taft they would vote for Taft
rather than let Wilson be elected.
This is a condition that they would
not know until after the votes had
been cast and counted. After they
had beer cast there would be no op-
portunity to change them, so the offer
is a mere subterfhge to fool Taft
voters.-Scotland Citizen Republican.

The cry of free trade does not seem
to scare the country. On the eve of
an election that is generally conceded
will go democratic, this country is en-
joying the greatest prosperity in it's
history. If business interests were
alarmed this would not be the case at
this time. The fact is that congress
men and senators take their positions
of the tariff question, not from party
platforms, but from local conditions.
When the Payne-Aldrich tariff meas
ure was pending in the house SO dem
ocratlc congressman voted against
free lumber, 20 democratic congress
men voted in favor of a protective
duty on hides, I of the II democratic
congressman from Georgia voted
against free lumber, % out of 80 dem
ocratic; senator's voted against free
iron ore. There will be a revision of
the tariff downward, but we would get
thai regardless of the political COM
plexion of the next administration.

The Deadwood Pioneer Times in
hunting through the annual report Of
the State Auditor finds that the state
has been paying in many instances for
travelling expenses Of state officers at
the rate of ten cents per mile which
ordinarily is supposed to cover all
travelling expenses. However, the
records show that every conceivable
item of expense is added to this
amount at an outrageous figure, in
some cases the item for board and
room ranging from Sc to $12 per day.

tiers, valet services, taxicabs, automo-

Growing Rapidly

Everyone who keeps posted on min
ing knows that hte y Ierington district
is rapidly becoming one of importance
in the production OF copper, and most
of those Interested in mining know
something about the big Nevada
Douglas mine located in this district
If. however, they knew the actual i'm

told wealth, there would be scamble
for the stock which would send it to
topnotch figures, for every element OF
risk has been eliminated in business
and it is making big profits for its
holders today To give detailed
description of the property would re
quire a larger publication than ours,
but from week to week we may note
advancement and new conditions.

everything running smoothly, the pro-

Salt Laker Tells
About Yerington
A. l. Jacobs, Broker Visits Yerngon District and Finds
1t Alive With Activity.

a. S. Jacobs, Salt Lake stockbrok
cr, who visited the Yerington district
last week, upon his return to Zion,
gave to the Salt Lake Herald the fol
lowing, which shows how he was i'm
pressed with the situation in this big
copper section:
Returning yesterday from an in
spcction OF the Mason Valley Mines
and Smelter Company in the interests
Of eastern people, A. L. Jacobs, Salt
Lake broker who was at one time
prominently connected with Bingham
mining interests, gives his opinion OF
the country out there, as follows:
The Mason Valley mine is connect
ed with the Nevada Copper Belt rail
roads depot by an aerial tram with !,
capacity of about 1000 tons day The
mine is opened by tunnels, the lowest
of which is No 4, about $50 feet from
the surface. The vein is opened up for
POO feet on the strike, and the orr
chute is from 20 to 100 feet wide in
different places. On the surface are
several cuts run into the mountain,
where the lime rock is taken for flux
also large part OF red oxide has been
opened, which averages about 2 per
cent copper and is a splendid fiux. All
the lime rock and the red oxide ore Is
handled by contract at low figure.
and conveyed through chutes from the
surface to No 4 tunnel. where the
loading station is located.
The several levels have been con
nectcd by upraises right through to
the surface and, in that way. large
bodies of good ore have been opened
up. where they were least expected.
| am satisfied that the tonnage OF !
per cent ore is greater now than it was
when saw ii last, more than one yeat
ago. If the ore bodies were sampled
now. a great deal more than one mil
lion tons OF per cent copper would
be found blocked out
| spent considerable time on the
surface where a great deal OF orc ha,
been opened up lately, where large new
bodies will be discovered whenever
the management gets ready to pros
pect the ground. The aerial tram
handles about 80 tons OF lime rock
and from $50 to 400 tons of oxide and
sulphidc ores daily. just as it is needed
for fuxing with the custom ores and
To make up the capacity of the one
furnace, running for the present.
Outside of the 200 to 400 tons of
Nevada Douglas ore, there are abou,
l25 tons daily delivered by small
mines at the smelter These ores con
tain considerable excess of silica,
while the Mason Valley ore has fair
excess of iron. making it splendid
ilux and it stands the company in
hand to conserve its ore rather than
to rush extraction.
