TAFT'S LAST ACT
[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS

WASHINGTON, March 4.-One of Mr..
Taft's last official acts was to veto the
sundry civil appropriations bill, be-
cause it contained provisions exempt
ing the prosecution of labor organiza-
tions and farmers associations under
the antitrust law. When the bill was
returned to the house that body imme-
diately passed it over the veto.
President TAFT signed the bill Great
ing the federal department of labor
and Congressman Wilson of Pennsyl-
vania Immediately announced that he
had accepted that position in President
Wilson's cabinet.
The senate refused to pass the sun
dry civil bill over the presidents veto
and the San Francisco exposition will
be without the million and a half ap-
preparation for the government exhibit
which the measure provided. 1t car
ried appropriations aggrega1ng hun

Tafts last official acts were signing

reported through the congressi ional
committee he had no further business

NEW SENATE MEETS

1t can hardly be otherwise than that
the insult to America thus offered for
the second time within a week will
raise cry throughout the country for
Intervention. 1t would seem that the
firing across the line could only be
intended as deliberate affront to this
country, and it is not conceivable that
the new president will allow it to go
without due recognition.
Hope had been growing up that the
troubles in Mexico would be taken care
of by the Mexican people themselves,
but this incident will change conditions,
reparation for the insult quick inter
vention must come.
This valley, in view of this news,
will be pleased to learn that Governor
Johnson has written to District Attor-
ney Swing that federal troops will be
sent to the border in this vicinity.
These may not be needed. but it will
be good idea to have the soldiers
available, at any rate.

Pixies PEAK IS NOT
LEAVING JUST YET
Report That Noted Mountain
Was Sinking Due to
Error.

Denver dispatches stating that recent
government surveys show that Pixies
peak has sunk thirty-nine feet In the
last three years are easily explained.
Somebody has simply been comparing the
exact altitude OF the mountain, recently
determined by the United States geolos-
cal survey as 14,109 feet. with old reil-
road or barometer figures of elevation.
AS matter of fact, TO have come with
in forty feet OF the actual elevation
shows a good job OF surveying for the
early days when Indians were plentiful

altitude OF any point 1t has to be done
today just a. it had 100 or 1000 years ago.

peak means that surveyors have had to
run levels all the way from the Atlantic
ocean, or the Pacific. to the top of the
mountain. Thousands of sights had TO
be made OF course. when the geological
survey about five years ago established
the exact elevation OF Pixies peak the en-
they took the nearest point to the peak
which had been previously determined by
former surveys, When the summit of the

Amador Shipping.

A car of copper sulphide ore, the first
to be taken out since the resumption
Of work on the property, will soon be
shipped from the Amador mine.
The shipment Will consist Of thirty
tons. A L. Nicholson, secretary of
the company, returned late last week
from the mine, where he had been on
him several samples Of ore taken from
the upraise on the 400 level, some of
which assayed as high as SO per cent
copper. Other shipments will follow at
the rate of about two cars week for
a few weeks, when 1t is expected the
mine will be able to ship three cars
weekly. The company recently spent
$4,000 repairing the railroad, which runs
from point near Iron mountain to the
mine, and has purchased q gasoline To-
comotive and four seven-ton capacity
cars In which the ore is hauled to the
station.

property held their annual meeting last
evening in the office of A. G. Kerns

The new crosscut on the Aurora

feet and work on the property will be
continued through the winter with an
increased force Of men The tunnel Is
to be run distance Of about 1900 feet,
when it is expected to strike the ledge.
The property consists OF fourteen claims
upon which about 2100 feet Of work
has been done. In the upper tunnel an
ore shoot twenty-five feet long was un-
covered in Burke quartZite, which is
believed to be on the 81. q. NJ. vein.
The values are in lead, the ore averag-
ing about 10 per cent.
The Royal Copper Mining company of
this city has let q contract for the con-
tinuation Of the lower crosscut tunnel
on the property, by which it Is expect
ed within a distance of 200 feet to
strike the vein. The property Is locat-
ed near Bellnap, Mont. but the stock
is owned by Wallace people. About
1900 feet Of work Is done on the prop
erty and the lower tunnel will cut the
vein at depth Of about 800 feet. In
the upper tunnel, when the lead was cut
it revealed large body of ledge matter
well mineralized, the character Of the
ore being malnchite and azurlte. There
was so much waste, however, that it
was commercially improbable TO con-
tinue work at that point and the lower
tunnel was run with view to cutting
moro compact ore body.
