financial panic and bank failures in
1907. The Whale is controlled by
G. S. Johnson of San Francisco. well
known as mining operator in Ne

crosscut driven northerly from the
bottom of the shaft $50 feet, or
within about 80 feet of the dividing
line between the Whale and the
Crescent.
From the end of the crosscut a
winze was sunk As feet and small
lunches of specimen ore were en-
countered just before the panic put
crimp into various mining compa-
nies.
Attention was again drawn to the
possibilities of the Whale by the
development Of a large body of en-
riched schist in the Merten & Cant

northerly sideline. Many applica-
tions for leases on the Whale have
been made during the last few
months, but Johnson concluded to
reorganize the company and place

resume operations on company ac.

WHALE is THE LATEST COMPANY
STARTING IN AT MANHATTAN

Systematic sampling OF the mine
has been in progress for some time
in an effort to arrive at an intelli-
gent estimate of the quantity of ore
now actually developed, and con-
servative official estimate based on
the results Of this sampling gives
100000 tons of ore OF an average
value of not less than $40 per ton.
This is showing which should re-
move any fleeting doubt of the great
ness of the Big Four mine, and in
stall 1t in the ranks of Nevada's
foremost gold mines. The fact that
the Big Four ore is absolutely free
milling and can be mined and milled
at exceedingly low cost, makes the
earning power Of the company un-
equailed in the state on this grade
Of ore per ton, when the mill is put
into operation.
With all of the milling machinery
now in place, and needing only de-
tails Of lining up and proper adjust
ment, work has been started on the
electric wiring of the building and
the placing of the five electric mo-
tors that have already arrived. There
are still a few more motors on the
road, but they are expected to be
delivered very soon. AS each sep
arate piece of machinery is to be
run by an individual motor, there
will be quite battery Of them when
all are in place. Joseph Bookman
Of Manhattan has the contract for
electrical installation. The finishing
touches viii now be put onto the
mill as rapidly as possible. and it
should not be long until the mill
starts on its work of bullion recovery
from 100 tons or more of ore per
day.
White Caps
Drifting is now under way on the
3OO-foot level of the White Caps to
develop the ore body Immediately
west Of the shaft. and this will be
pretty well opened up so that extrac.
tion of ore can begin before much
is done toward driving the 400 feet
that Will be required to reach the
big ore body out east. AS the main
and richest ore body Of the mine is
within few feet of the west side
OF the shaft having crossed the
shaft at about 235 feet, but still
leaving lunches of ore that were
occasionally found in further sink
ing, attention viii be directed to
this for immediate results in the
way OF ore for the Associated mill.
1t is a foregone conclusion that
the west ore body will soon be show
ing up an immense amount of ore of
unusual average grade, and that it

royalties to the Dexter White Caps
company From surface to the 1856
foot level the ore has ranged from
six to 20 feet between walls and
has ranged in value from $50 to
5000 and $500 per ton. One Of the
difficulties which the leasing com
pany had in milling this ore was to
keep it down to a general average
of not over $50 per ton, so as to per

There is no question about it there is more waste
in municipal ownership than in privately controlled
corporations We have a civil service board and yet
there is the lack Of ability of the heads of de-
partments get work out of employees in the years
before the civil service board was created. not
making any attacks upon civil service but must
that it has not raised the standard of efficiency
This statement was made by Mayor Jost Of Kansas
City, Mo- in an address before the Brotherhood Club
of the independence Boulevard Christian church,
cording to the Kansas City Journal, and is frank
expression Of what most citizens who have had oppor-
tunities to observe know to be the truth In these
times of political unrest and agitation is considered
somewhat of sacriege to express honest criticism OF
ANYTHING that bears the of REFORM but Mayor
Jost has braved the menacing power of the faddiss
and has told the simple truth Theoretically the civil
service system is an ideal form of conducting municipal
affairs, and municipal ownership is ideal way OF
dealing with public utility corporations But in prac-
tice neither has worked satisfactorily The testimony
Of the city attorney Of Kansas City, Kas that the mum
icipay owned electric light plant of that city IS
magnificent success not to be considered That plant
has been working only about week and there is no
evidence that high degree of efficiency or the present
low schedule Of prices be maintained The Wnole
scheme was worked nicely out paper but 1T has not
been put to the practical test Al municipality owned
utilities work out on paper, but few If any stand the
test Of time and experience.
There is one insuperabe reason why munlclpal
ownership fails and that is politics. Undoubtedly
citv could run water works plant, gas plant or
+roo+ railway system quite as successfully prl-
waite corporation if it were possible to bring to the man
aooment the same expert knowledge, the same strlcC
and definite supervision and the same individual ter
os as exists under private corporate control but
as long as politics is the dominant factor in munlcipal
affairs so long will it be impossible to run munlcpal
enterprises as efficiently and economically as cor
nora+ion concerns are run The average employe Oh

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IN QUESTION

Of the under him when these men owe their posi-
tions to political fayoritsm and know that they can
defy their superors long they stand well with
the political powers The right kind of civil service
has been accepted the best system Of employment for
cities. But Kansas City never has had the right kind
and will not have until the heads of departments
empowered to discharge Oafng and incompetent en-
ployes The whole fabric of municipal government is
honeycombed with nsubordnation and contempt for
authority The empoye who has passed civil service
examination and got snug berth is apt to believe that
he has life tenure of his job whether he gives it his
best efforts and most careful attention not No head
of department get the best work out Of his men
unless he is vested with authority to enforce his
