AN IHoN WILLE0 I12AsnCH.
One Man Rule as Exemplified In Fred
 erick the Great.

erick the Great.
 Frederick was an intenSivcly active, highly capable, strong wilIed and self reliant commander. He concentrated all power in his own hands. reducing his ministers to clerical work and his generals to the duties of personal lieu tenants. Below him the Prussian ad- ministration was thing of stiff and mechanical obedience, lacking in mi tiative and individuality.
 Several of Frederick's military losses were due to the fact that he gave his generals such minute orders and was so severe in case of disregard of in structions that they did not dare to use their own judgment when unfor- seen conditions presented themselves. He personally foresaw and provided for everything, and he inspected f<.- Quently and thoroughly. His discipline was severe. his organization good, his calculation accurate and limited to what was possible. His movements, which were skillfully disguised, were rapid.
 So superior was Frederick to his Op- ponents in strategy that they were obliged for safety to keep their troops in so concentrated form that there was not sufficient space for effective maneuvers. He was more capable in marching and maneuver than in bat tie, more capable in battle than in siege.
 His great defect as an administrator lay in the fact that he dwarfed the growth of those below him and so edu cated no talented corps to bear the political and military burdens of the state when he should be obliged to lay them down. He apparently could do things C2ly through himself. Hay ing a S::;Ircme contempt for the capaci- 'irl of !lUSt nOrtalS, he had no mind to rl I,:c rxn 'riments which might have change his opinions. Although he knew for many years that his success suv waS to he man without ability, he handed down to him system which required a Frederick. We may say that he brilliantly administered system which was badly Organized.-Edward D. Jones in Engineering Magazine.

EAGLE & BLUE BELL
SHAFT GAINS DEPTH
Management Believes 1850
Level Will Be Reached Be-
fore First of Year.

Since November ., almost 100 feet
of shaft has been sunk in the Eagle &
Blue Bell, which gives depth to date
of 1850 feet, according to the Eureka
Reporter. Superintendent Owens be-
Gcved it will be possible to sink the
shaft to tho 1850 level, which WIS the
objective point when work was COM
menced, by Christmas. AT the 1850 level
large station will be cut out and then
drift will be sent out In the direction
Of the new ore deposit which is now
being handled from the 1850 Wine
The 1850 level OF the Eagle taps one
of tho mines largest and richest ore
deposits, and when winze followed
this ore for nearly 200 feet below this
point the management decided that it
was time to go deeper with the main
working shaft. The manner in which
the ore is being developed from the
1850 Wine is just a little bit unusual,
as prnc tically all of the sinking, drift
ing and raising has been In ore. In
the first place, the drift was sent down
through the ore body for almost 200
feet then two drifts were sent out
ono at a depth Of 1925 feet and the
other at the 1538-foot level. Not only
have these drifts cut into the ore for
considerable distance, but Superin-
tendent Owens is raising in ore from
both levels

Making his daily report from the

that the 1o0-ton shipment, the loading
of which began early in the week, had
been completed, and that he would have
another consignment Of the Same
weight on the market not later than
December 6.
In the top of tho raise from the 1000
to 100 level a second streak of good
orc has beon found. 1t should be
shipped at a profit, according to the su.
perintcndcnt opinion, although it is
not quite so rich as the six-inch seam
first encountered, which assayed $100
d ton,
In the north face of the drift on tho
HOO level there are numerous indica-
tioDs that tho Easter vein, in which
100000 worth of ore is said TO have
been blocked out above the 1000 level,
Will soon be reached Mr.. Lundquist
thought he would have to go fifty feet
to get 1t on the 100 level but this
does not seem now to be the case.
Air connections between the 1000
and 100 levels will be completed early
next week.

OPOHONGO LEASES
SOURCE OF REVENUE
Royalties Received by Com
pany Help Defray Expense
of Development.

A fine showing of quartz has been en-.
countered in the upper workings of the
Opohongo, whero the management has
been conducting a campaign Of devcl-
opment during the last few months.
The quartz was uncovered in the raise
and crosscut, and It is said the prospect
Of driving into an ore body is very fa-
vorable. Work In the main drift has
ceased, but crosscutting and raising are
being vigorously prosecuted. The raise,
which is up about fifteen feet, will be
continued to point fifty feet above the
main tunnel level.
The lessees are extracting about the
usual amount of ore. A carload OF orc
from one lease was shipped last week,
the ore running high in copper with
some silver and lead values. A car
from another lease will probably be
shipped this week and it is expected
to average about Is per cent ton in
copper. The ore mined by the lessees
is being taken from the older Opohon go
workings which were abandoned by the
company some time ago. The royalty
received by the company from tho ore
shipped by the lessees is said to be a
material factor in defraying the ex-
penses Of operation on company nc

LITTLE CHANGE IN
EASTERN MARKETS
Financial Circles Await Presi-
dent Wilson's Message
to Congress.

From Logan & Bryan, New York
Nothing occurred TO alter the character
of trading today. There was n contin-
uance Of liquidation in numerous is.
sues, which do not generally enjoy a
broad market, but selling Of that ma
ture failed to stimulate activity in 9TH
er directions. The frmness OF Steel
and Union Pacific was attributed to the
forthcoming dividends, but coppers
were again sold by London. The bank
statement was about as unfavorable as
forecasts indicated the same would be,
but it is not unlikely that funds will
again flow In the direction of New York
as soon as the December disbursement
have been distributed. The financial
community appears to bo waiting for
something definite relative to the con-
congress, particularly in so far as same
may pertain TO corporations. 1t is said
quite authorltatively that the chief ex-
ecutive will advocate the retention of
the Sherman law and also additional
legislation in connection with the same,
from which it would appear that cor
porations will have to endure further
period OF waiting. Currency and bank
ing legislation is also expected to be
discussed at length. It is not unlikely
that growing out of the remarks of the
ulate activity, though the direction Of
course in which prices will be forced
will depend almost entirely upon the
tenor Of the proposals.
