NEWS FROM THE
NATIONS CAPITAL
Especial to the Silver State.)

\oDcclai 10 Cue silver SLaL0.l
! WASHINGTON, July 30-Demo-
cratic House Leader Underwood is
quoted as saying that the next tariff
bill to be taken up will be the So
called "market basket BILL
This bill will reduce the tariff on q
great many things that the housewife
buys for her table. 1t will, incidental
ly remove the protection from a
large portion of the things the farm
er raises-fruits, vegetables, butter,
eggs and so on.
From Democratic standpoint, the
masses in the cities are consumers of
these products, and the attempt thus to
lower the cost of living is expected
to make votes for the Democratic tick
ct. 1t has ben urged by some of the
members of the house majority that it
would be better for the party to post
pone action on this bill until after
election, so as to make it easier to cor
rail- thefarmer vote, these counsellors
holding the opinion that the city vote
is safely Democratic anyway.
Tariff Boomerangs
Juggling with the city vote in one
hand and the farmer vote in the other
one sees the Democratic party walking
the tariff tight rope and striving to
maintain its balance SO that it shall
not fall into the chasm of party de-
feat. The Republicans found that tar
iff results are far reaching, for while
listening to the demands of the Cali
fornia lemon growers for more duty
on lemons, they enraged the box shook
makers of Maine, who had been selling
their goods to the Italian and Sicilian
lemon growers, and Maine voted for
Roosevelt in the recent primaries. 1t
matters not that the Maine people
were shown by actual government sta
tistics that the consumption of shocks
was greater than it was before the
duty was raised, and that the importa-
tion of lemons largely increased-nor
that it was the removal of the prefer
etial on shocks instead of the in
crease of the lemon duty that threat
ened their interests; they picked out
the lemon growers as their enemy and
denounced the Republican president
who signed the tariff which they be-
lieved would hurt them.
And who would have believed that
the increase of one of few farmer
shookmakers in Maine, would in
fluence whole state to go progress
sive? An Augusta correspondent of the
Boston Transcript declared that this
was the reason (added to the feeling
regarding free entry of Canadian fish).
He said that the Maine people were
not really friendly to Roosevelt, but
that "men care more for bread and
butter than for styles and forms of
government" Commenting on this,
the San Diego Union remarked: Out
here in California, however, the pro
gressive' prefer to disregard the
bread and butter consideration and
look only to styles and forms of gov
ernment. -
All of which tends to show how
complicated and far reachinr are tar
iff problems.

escape from the convict road camp

MODEST LITTLE
ALASKA GOLD FIND

ALASKA GOLD FIND
The announcement that 1900 foot
tunnel of large dimensions will be run
near juneau to tap an EXTENSIVE BODY
of low-grade gold ore, estimated to
contain 800,000,00O, is not likely to
encourage those who hold that the
price of commodities will diminish by
reason of the decreasing production Of
gold, says the San Francisco Chronicle.
1t is estimated that the mine will
produce 100000 annually for 900
years, in addition to which the tunnel
will afford economical outlet for the
ores of adjacent properties. The pro-
duction of the Treadwell mines ex-
ceeds that sum and no practical esti-
mate has ever been made of the time
when the ore will be exhausted.
Similar plans are now being execut-
ed in the Rand, where the depth Of
the properties has rendered operations
less and less profitable as the distance
and cost of hosting increased. In the
latter field it is proposed to work sew
eral properties through one shaft, con-
nected by means of commodious and
wellgraded tunnels on convenient
levels.
The mother lode of this state doubt
less furnishes some excellent oppor-
tunities for extensive operations of this
sort. While the ore bodies are not 50
great as those of the Treadwell and
adjacent mines, neither are they SO
low grade. For their essay value, there
are no more extensive ore bodies in
the world than can be found along this
lode.
1t is this sort of mining, as distin-
guished from pocket mining, that at
tracts large capital, for it promises
greater security of investment and
greater permanency of dividends.
Where the topography lends itself to
tunnel mining, as in Alaska, there il
a conspicuou advantage over haft
mining, for the water problem can
never be serious.

Although an ordinance requiring

measure is one regarding the collcc-
