LA PLATAs BETTER THAN EVER

Walter Hunter, the locator of the
May Day, is down from the La Platas,
where he is now engaged in develop
ment work on the Bay City group, his
mining associate being Tom Wei
bourne, well known as superintendent
of the Idaho. While exceedingly con-
servative in his statements, Mr.. Hun
ter is certain the La Platas have the
best season of prosperity in pros
pect during his eleven years. associa-
ton with the camp.
Last year at this time there was
no activity worthy of mention. Now
development work is being pushed on
a number of promising prospects and
number of properties will begin
shipping the first of May.
The Copper Hill properties bid fair
to be one of great Importance to the
camp, and the commercial life of the
section as we'll, this season. For many
weeks they have been making a daily
carload shipment. Just now, while
work is steadily progressing, ship
ments are not being made on account
of the condition Of the roads. How
ever, by May they promise to show
greater returns than ever before.
Messrs. Clements and Webb. who
made valuable strike over in Dead
wood gulch early last winter, expect
to begin shipments the first OF the
month.
James Doyle will begin work at the
Columbus as soon as the snow is gone
sufficiently to warrant him to do 50.
He has just written his associates to
he in readiness to start operation. He
is planning to install compressor.
The Bay City group is making
very creditable showing. One ship
ment has been made and within
fortnight this too will be numbered
among the steady shippers.

TARIFF TROUBLES BEGINNING

We innocently remarked the othe
day that tariff-making was serious
md difficult business. Readers vii
hardly call for briefs and argument
Ipon the point. Already proof staref
hem in the face. The president is
beginning to hear from the standpat
'ers, from the congressman who re.
-ard the tariff as local issue, from
he theoretical revisionists who are
bold as lions until something concrete
3 suggested, and from those who are
Wiling to admit that overprotection
S unjust but can't for the life of
hem figure out any benefit to con-
umers from any amount of revision.
Much in the current tariff or anti
-evision talk is painfully familiar. It
would be funny if it were not fraught
With danger-political as we'll as in
1ustrial danger. Sanity, good faith,
common sense and courage are essen
tial in honoset tariff revision. Mis-
representation, alarmist appeals, hys-
terra and threats render a difficult
process trebly difficulty.
But such questions as free sugar
and free raw wool, a greatly ex-
tended free list, reciprocity or fair
trade versus revision without direct
reference to the policies of other ma
tions, and income taxation require
searching examination. There is
room for honest difference of opin-
ion as to the wisdom of drastic re-
ductions that entail heavy loss of rev.
enue without holding out definite
promise of lower prices to consum-
ers. Revisionists differ regarding
free wool and free sugar; they will
no doubt differ upon other important
features of the Underwood bills.
Governor Foss of Massachusetts
is known the country over as genu-
inc revisionist and ardent advocate of
liberal reciprocity. In his message
to the legislature suggesting a me-
mortal to congress and the president
he forcefully attacks a policy of pure
ly negative and destructive revision.
and pleads for a policy that would
open new markets to our manufactur-
ers, induce reciprocal concessions from
other industrial nations, afford real
relief to the mass of consumers with
out crippling industry and commerce.
Governor Foss is at one with the
business community in deprecating
partisan or reckless revision, in in
sisting upon the application of scien.
tific tests, and of respecting the pro-
tective principle while fighting the
element of monopoly or graft" in
the present tariff. While some of his
expressions seem paradoxical-for ex-
ample, it is news to US that the coun-
try last November indorsed the Mas
sachusetts idea of tariff revision-his
essential position is sound and bust
nesslike. 1t is, moreover, wholly con-
sistent with the statements of the
president in regard to the need of
considering legitimate business inter
ests in readjusting the tariff system.
The safe and wise policy is to re-
wise courageously yet prudently, take
out everything that is ubiquitous" or
superfluous in the tariff. and oppose
blind, dogmatic revision. We have,
unfortunately, no scientific tariff
board to recommend changes, but we
can endeavor to be businesslike, con-
structive and nonpartisan in tariff
making even under existing arrange
ments.-Record-H Herald

In their struggles against the re-

standard protective weapon for similar
emergencies in the future.
Generally speaking the devices have

examination held by the special COM
missioners a new invention was sub
mitted by an engineer Nj. Mathiot. 1t
consists of the familiar chrome steel
