SUFFRAGE AND HOME LIFE

Perhaps no M phase of the Suf.
frage question has been more dis
cussed than its probable bearing on
home life. The dire results upon
the family circle have long been the
objection of nti-Suffragists. There
fore, the writer desires to speak of
some Of the beneficial results of Suf-
frage on home life.
Some one has said that the greatest
school of life is the ballot box. One
of the most pleasing and noticeable
consequences of the ballot has been
its educating and broadening in
ffuence on womankind.
Woman started at the low point in
politics. She did not remain there
long, but grasped at every oppor-
tunity to prepare herself for intelli-
gent citizenship. Her mind has been
broadened By extensive reading.
ms, with the developing power of
responsibility, which is the greatest
instrument of education, has made
her an important factor in politics.
Instead of stirring up family strife,
as u opponents like to prophesy,
husbands and wives are far more
companionable. Men have ever ex-
hibited the same chivalry in respect
ing their wives political ideas that
they did when bestowing upon them
the highest test of liberty, the ballot.
Even children are better informed
on public topics as a result Of discus
sing in the home themes which con-
Germ our Government.
The word of honest men and the
records will bear the state
ment that in 20 years of Equal Suf-
frage in the State of Colorado there
has never been a single divorce
granted on the ground of political
differences. Opposite religious views
have caused a thousand times more
discord than politics ever did any
between husbands and wives.

TENAB0 FEELS Remuneration
Formerly Prosperous Camp in
Northern Eureka County Again
Enters Upon Era of De-
velopment

Neneral activity reminiscent of the
early days in this district is now won
and optimism is the general feeling
among those who are doing their an
nual assessment work, says a CORES
pendent in the Reno Journal.
Tenabo for the last few years has
been in a state of tranquility, but i'm
portant developments have been go
ing on of late which seem destined to
put the camp on a big producing
basis.
The Gold Quartz group under the
superintendency of Ted Raleigh, an
experienced miner, has just COM
pleted the annual labor on its group
of claims and the developments at
the 100-foot level have exposed 40
feet of commercial ore. Other de-
velopments have ore exposed that
carry values running from $500 to
$500 to the ton. The tonnage now
exposed from the 100-foot level to
the surface would justify the e
ton of a mill of 100 tons a day cap-
acity.
On the Phoenix and X Ray groups,
owned by the G. @. Company, de-
velopments have exposed vast guam
titles of ore of a milling grade and
these ores in conjunction with the
Gold Quartz ores will give reserve
sufficient to keep a mill in operation
for several years.
On Altenberg Hill a set of leasers
is quite enthusiastic over the hold
ings. At times they are in picture
rock that would tempt high-graders.
Will Altenberg and Norris Bertram
are running a tunnel on the London
to tap a vein at depth which made
excellent gold showings on the sur
face.
The Violet, owned by Martin Kline
has a shaft 200 feet in depth and
at this point drivenin different
direction, have disclosed showings
worthy of further development.
The Horton group, owned by the
Horton Commercial Company of Bat
tie Mountain, have workings on the
and the independence
that show considerable COM
nercial ore.
Edward Herper, the mechanical
is developing his property
a self-dumping hoist of his own
invention. The work of hosting is
lone from the bottom with an end
ess cable and the bucket when on
dumps itself automatically. The
little Gem group is idle owing to liti-
Lander. Keller and Plyme are sink
ng a shaft on the Aspen and expect
o reach the vein at 100 feet depth.
)re of 10 ouncesi in silver and 70 per

arly days, and has every indication

ACTIVITY At MILL CANYON
A Correspondent Sends the SEN
TINEL the Following Interesting
Letter from Northern
Eureka County

EDITOR SENTINEL: Having heard
that there are rumors around Eureka
that Mill Canyon is mot active, thought
| would dropyou a line to correct such
an impression. if it exists.
The Cortez Mining & Reduction
Company are operating their milling
plant steadily; also continually pros
ecuting mine development. The com
pany is making and shipping concen-
trates, and to-day sent out by team
and by auto truck 120 sacks of con-
c~entrates to Beowawe, or a total of
around seven tons. One carload
went forward to the smelter the lat
ter end of November consisting of ga
sacks lover 81 tons), and another car
will be shipped in a few days. Sew
eral more carloads are now ready for
shipment but the recent heavy fall
of snow has prevented hauling to
Beowawe.
The company is employing about
80 men at present. Mine develop
ment is rapidly going on with good
results and the company has a large
body of milling ore opened up, and
intends to run its plant steadily from
now on.
The mill is now tuned up to run
to its capacity of about 80 tons of ore
per day. The mill is giving excellent
results and is found to be well adapt
ed to this type of ore. making as.
good a percentage of saving of the
valuable metals as is usual in a con-
ce~ntrating plant.
A force of men are driving for
ward the main tunnel to tap the "Er-
vim ore shoot, which showed good
values at the surface and in shallow
workings and it is confidently ex-
pected that within a month this ore
shoot will be encountered and that
it will show good bodies of milling
ore.
Nor is the activity of Mill Canyon
confined entirely to this company.
Four leases are working on the Maid
Queen claim of Maurice Isaacs, just
over the hill from Mil Canyon. All
the leasers are taking out good ship
ping ore, besides a considerable
quantity of medium grade mill ore.
Specimens of ore were brought down
from one of the leases to-day which
would run in the vicinity of l000l
ounces of silver, but the general run
Of the shipping ore is from 500 to
5000 per ton.
About so men, including l~easers
and the Cortez Mining and Reduction
Company, are actively employed in
Mill Canyon. A boarding house is
being conducted on the Maid Queen
property for the men working up
there, and supplies r being drawn
from the general store of the Mill
Canyon Mercantile Co.
All told, the camp is quite busy,
and there is no reason why it should
not continue to be so for a long time
to ome The company has plenty
of its W ore to run, but will short
.ly undertake some custom milling
for the benefit of leasers and mine
owners in this vicinity.
Trusting this may be of interest
and that it will remove any doubts
as to the continued activity and
prosperity of Mill Canyon, am.
Yours very truly,
WILL HUEBNER.

Sternweis, his wife and three chill
dren, whose bodies were found in the
ruins of burned buildings on their
farm early today, were murdered and
the buildings fired to hide the crime,
officials declare this afternoon after
a visit to the farm.
Near the house, wheer the bodies
of Mrs. Sternweis and the three chill
dren were found, deputy sheriffs
raked from the ashes eleven empty
cartridges. The body of
Sternweis was recovered from the
ruins of the granary. All the build
ings on tn efarm were burned, with
the exception of one, and rags satu-
rated with kerosene, were found in
this building, indicating that an at
tempt had been made to burn it.

in a Canadian court beyond the mere
verdict of an American court. Such
a process would take months, and
Thaw and his counsel have studied
the law involved carefully. The very
fact that Thaw choose Quebec, the
province which has proved so difficult
in other extradition cases, shows he
acted deliberately. The preliminary
hearing at Sherbrooke seems to have
been planned.
1t seems as if the New York state
officials in order to get Thaw extra
dited might again have to go through
all the long battle of the alienists
that occurred seven years ago and
resulted in the slayer of Stanford
White being sent to Matteawan.

car to the farm, offering to pay ANY

the car until they called for it.
The girl identified a picture of
Thaw as the likeness of one of the
men with the automobile.
The license tag, found hidden in
the machine, traced the ownership
