BIG STRIKE MADE IN
CONSOLIDATED MINE

Camp High Grade has actually
started on its career Of real mining
and ore treatment.
This week the Consolidated leads
the procession in the district, both
in the matter of rich strikes and in
operation. A force of over thirty men
now employed in the mine and mill,
are under the most capable and prac-
tical management.
The strike in the Mountain View
last week, has proven to be genuine
and the picture ore continues in the
ledge which is about four feet wide.
Much free gold, visible to the naked
eye in this rock, selected samples, run
up into the thousands, while the en-
tire ledge is claimed by the operators
to run better than 500 per ton.
Manager Binns of the mill is classed
among the best mill men in the west,
and is more than making good at the
Consolidated.
Manager A. j. Cummings of the
mine has placed the property on
paying basis, according to a statement
made by conservative mining men of
the district. It is claimed that the
recent strike safely places the Con-
solidated In the list of great mines.
But little has been known and
nothing said about the Consolidated
until quite recently The owners are
principally level-headed business men
from Detroit and other eastern local
tiles, who operate upon strictly busi-
ness principles, and who keep their
business to themselves. President
Stone and Secretary Levy, both of
Detroit, are now on the ground per-
sonally supervising the operations.
From now on the Consolidated will
be one Of the attractions of Camp

THE PLAQUES
COURSE EASTWARD


The occurrence of cases of bubonic
plague in Cuba and Porto Rica is an
incident, things an editorial writer in
The Engineering Record New York,
July 20), of that malady's eastward
progress around the world Says this
paper:
"It seems indisputable that the bu-
bcnic plague is passing eastward
around the world. 1t threatened Cali
fornia few years ago, and the dis
ease was avoided only by the most
radical sort of action by health Off
cials, backed up by the energetic work
of public-spirited citizens intelligent
enough to appreciate the danger
which was imminent and forceful
enough to compel people to fight this
danger in the only possible manner
The disease has now succeeded in
reaching Cuba and Porto Rico, where
our medical officers are watching 1t
carefully. 1t cannot be handled as eff
fectively as cholera or typhoid fever,
and it will be surprising If it is eradi-
Gated from Porto Rico much before
the close of the year, even if the most
stringent precautions are taken to
prevent its spread and overcome 1t
within the limits where it has already
developed.
ut is the general opinion of the
profession today that the dis
ease is spread by rats which become
infected with it. These in turn trans
init the disease to the fleas with which
they are infested and the fleas trans
init 1t to human beings. The main
precaution to take against the disease
is. therefore, the slaughter of all rats,
particularly along the water-fronts
where vessels from ports subject to

the plague are moored. 1t is, in fact,
the water-fronts of the country which
form the main line of defense against
the introduction of this disease, which
Is essentially one of filthiness and un-
cleanliness. 1t will be difficult to ex-
terminate rates, as was shown in the
famous rat-killing campaign in Cali
fornia few years ago, but if a boun-
ty is placed on them, which need not
be large, the cause of public health
will be greatly aided.
"The bubonic plague is one of the
most serious and difficult diseases
against which the sanitary official
must contend and If 1t should once get
a foothold in some American cities
where cleanliness is not particularly
noticeable the results would be very
serious"

NEW TOWNSHIP IN
THE LATEST MINING CAMP

On Thursday papers we're filed with
the county recorder at Alturas for the
townsite of Sunshine at Cave Lake,
and also for the Consolidated Tunnel
and Tunnel Site and the Sunshine
Tunnel and Tunnel Site.
The townsite of Sunshine is in a
beautiful basin at the southwestern
base Of Sunshine mountain. 1t is ad-
jacent to Cave lake and Lily lake, two
lovely little sheets of water trimmed
by mountains which are fissured with
veins of silver and gold.
Sunshine TUNED will trend north
easterly from the townsite, and will
intersect Sunshine mountain and High
Grade townsite at a depth Of over
1000 feet below the surface. It will be
driven directly under the Yellow
Jacket mine, after cutting several
veins that as yet have never been defi-
nitely located on the surface.
The Consolidated tunnel will trend
southeasterly in the direction of the
Consolidated mines, cutting directly
under the cone of Yellow mountain,
which is conceded to be the core Of
Camp High Grade.
New York and European money is
behind this big enterprise. Local rep
resentatives have spent months inves-
the district, and have finally
given 1t their hearty Endorsement.
Work began on the Sunshine tunnel
morning The filings cite
that both tunnels will be eight feet
in height and ten feet in width, maxi
ing Of them double track tunnels the
entire distance.
1t is claimed by the promoters of
this enterprise that $1,OO0,OOO Of Bel
gian and Swiss money is waiting for
investment in the project

Mr. Springer has just returned from

that the hunters of this section of the

A SELF DIssOLyING
"BEEF TRUST y

On paper, the so-called beef trust
has been dissolved, but few OF the
editors take the announcement with
more than mild curiosity, and even
the most optimistic make no preten-
sions to being able TO see q coming
reduction In prices. Attorneys for
the packers assure the government
prosecutor that all Of the stockholders
of the National Packing company,
representing approximately three hun
dred and fifty packing plants, valued
at s50,OO0,0OO, have claimed their
holdings and that the organization
has wound up its business. The Ar
mour, Swift and Morris companies
divide the assets. The National Car
Line company, which operated the re-
frigerator cars is also declared to be
dissolved and its properties appor-
toned among its founders. Federal
prosecution will be dropped II Attor-
ney-General Wickersham approves,
and the house judiciary committee
does not feel interested in an inquiry
into further operations Of the beef
trusts methods. The New York
Commercial says Of the dissolution
that government lawyers, from At
torney-General Wickersham down to
District-Attorney Wilkerson, make as
surances that in any case this will
be enforced, so that there shall be
no shadow Of a pretense that II will
be a mere paper dissolution, as was
at one time by suspicious
critics in re the Standard Oil and the
tobacco trusts. The different com
panies will now resume their old com
petitlye basis, and the change will
extend to all the subsidiary branches
and distributing agencies in the Unit
ed States" But the Commercial can
see no assurance in this that the price
of meat will be reduced. The force
)f the contention made by the defen-
lants about the cause of high prices
remains undlminished:
"This is the greatly lessened pro-
luction of beeyes, sheep and swine

nand for It as food. The evidence OF
his is incontestable, especially as the

lakes from the valley. The proposed
town of Sunshine will be not only the
portal to the vast wealth OF High
Grade hills, but it will be the camp
town of the district, so the promoters
of the enterprise aver.
No lovelier spot for a mountain
town was ever placed on the surface
of mother earth, than the Cave lake
basin. It is a. nook Of rare delights,
Of inexpressible charms, of possibill-
ties in the realms of wealth that leads
the fancy to heights above the cold.

suffices. The still older plan OF cattle
raising as a part OF the regular farm
output may again come into vogue as
an auxiliary. But whatever the cure,
II there is to be one, Of high meat
prices, II will not inure from any dis
solution Of the packers trust"
The Baltimore Sun fears the dlsso-
luton may result in even higher
prices:
1T would have been much more
satisfactory II there had been "a dis
tribution Of the assets in the form Of
lower prices for meat among the
householders Of the country. II the
death Of the meat trust is to be fol-
lowed, like that of the oil trust, by
further rise In the price Of its pro-
ducts, everyone will wish II had stayed
alive. When you go to market this
week you will find out how much this
dissolution has benefited you"
There are editors, too, who believe
that the only way to make sure of a
beef trusts death is to lift the tariff
from meat. The indianapolis News
discovers some evidences that the
packers were quick TO forestall threat
ened competition from Argentina and
Australia by building plants in those
countries, and concludes that trusts
could not have grown so strong as to
reach out and threaten even the pos
sibility of foreign competition" II the
Sherman antitrust law had been en-
forced from the beginning.
The Milwaukee Free Press is dis
tingulshed as one Of the few papers
impatient Of the suspicious so gener-
ally entertained about the sincerity of
public officials in this instance and
in other endorsements Of the Sherman
law.
"The temper of large portion of
the public unfortunately is such that
the questions most frequently asked
are not: rs the Sherman antitrust
law strong enough for what It was
designed to accomplish? Is 1t, finally
a good law, ana is II founded upon
sound and wise policy? The question
most frequently aske Is: Are the off
cials Of the federal government, from
the president on down, and the fed
eral courts sincere and honest in their
Of the law? In itself this
question is significant Of a dangerous
1istrust and, being continually asked,
Il breeds greater distrust and deeper
cyniclsm.
Among the more thoughtful this
iIstrust is, Of course, not uppermost
In the mind. Fortunately, too, the
republican platform has pronounced
N favor Of program which will be
equivalent to test of the real and
