As TO DEVELOPMENT
AT THE RUTH NINE

What method will be utilized in
handling the immense ore tonnage
that has been disclosed in the woik-
ings of the Ruth mine? Pope Yeat-
man. consulting engineer for the Ne
vada Consolidated, has returned east
after investigating the local holdings.
with a view to deciding whether the
steam shovel or .'caving'' system of
underground mining will be employed
in the extraction of about eight mil
lion tons of two and one-half per
cent ore. A corps of assistants n
der the direction of Robert Marsh
will conduct a thorough investigation
before definite action is taken.
According to recent reports, the
Ruth body approaches the surface at
no point nearer than seventy feet.
1t has been determined that the av-
erage depth of overburden would be
in excess of three cubic feet per ton
of ore.
Through the elimination of some
of the ore at greater depth, the over
burden has been reduced three
tenths cubic yards a ton.
Churn drills are devoting consid-
cradle time toward exploring the
area around the edges and at depth
for the purpose of aseertain'ng addi-
tional tonnage of ores of a ipwer
grade. If the low grade material ex-
lists in sufficient quantity, It Will nat
urally increase ore tonnage and re-
duce the number OF yards Of cap
ping to be stripped for every ton
mined.
The cost of stripping ranges from
80 to 33 cents a yard, and steam
shovel mining ranges around IT
cents. When the cost of removing
the Gaping Is taken into considera-
ton II is believed that underground
mining through the caving system
will be more profitable.
1t is the general belief thaat at
least six months will be required "a

ding the Ruth ores, and the one that
will yield the greatest profits.

THE WAVE SUBSIDIES

The overwhelming defeat of state
vide prohibition in Texas. coming af-
ter the whitening rebuke administer
ed to Hobson by Alabama. indicates
the subsistence Of the tidal wave of
fanaticism which was sweeping over
the south says the Louisville Courier
Journal.
1t had its beginning in the design
10 keep whisky from the Niger.
Thence il received an impulse from
the needs of law and order in rural
neighborhoods isolated from ade-
quate police supervision. Finally. the
politicians, seeing in the drift of the
wind an easy way to preferment and
power, took it up and dragged It
through the mire and tore its pas
sion 10 tatters.
If ever prohibition prohibited
there would be intelligent reason, IL
not justification, for those who be
lieve that the morals of the people
may be and ought to be regulated
by act of assembly, and who do not
believe In the right of each man to
pursue life. liberty and happiness ac-
cording to his conscience.
But nowhere has prohibition pro-
hibited. It's effect is. and has always
been, to promote hypocrisy and en-
courage lawiessness, whilst substitute
ing contraband and adulterated drink
for drink that at least pays taxes
and is what it pretends to be. For
proof of this one need not go further
than the state of Maine, where IS
years of repressive measures have
not abated drunkenness In the least.
in the southern states where II has
been tried the results ought to be
humiliating to an upright, proud
and self-respecting people. Its fail
ure is confessed by the scheme to
make prohibition nationwide. 1t has
not according to the revenue statis-
tics reduced the quantity of drink
manufactured or sold, though putting
a premium on smuggling and moon
shining. nor. according to the expe-
rienee of communities and the obser-
walton of men. tended to purify So
ciety or to make d%runkards sober.
But 1t has everywhere lowered and
corrupted politics. In Tennessee ill.,
deed it has produced an appalling
state of political conditions as well
as of public morals.

INDUSTRIAL WAR AVERTED

Patriotism, common sense, OF

TO CLEAR TITLE.

In order to remove a defect In
the title to one-eighteenth interest
in the Fraction claim In the Robin
son mining district. Mrs. Nett.e Paul.
of Palo Alto. California, guardian OF
George R. Paul, a minor, filed petit
ton in the Clerks office yesterday.
asking that she be authorized TO
transfer the property to the CONSOLE
dated Coppermines company.
During the boom days in Ely
eight years ago. Mrs. Paul disposed
of her sons interest In the claim,
without being authorized by the
court, to Fred S. Pheby. who con.
veyed the ground at a later date to
the Ely Central Copper company.
The petitioner is satisfied that the
consideration was adequate, and as
serts that the minor had good title
to the mineral tract nothwithstand-
ing the issuance of the deed.
1t is the belief of Mrs. Paul that
1t would be unwise to use any por-
ton of the money received from the
transaction in the performance OF
work on the claim. The around is
wholly u~ndeveloped. and no work has
been done to indicate that it contains
ore of commercial value, or car ever
be made a profitable estate. 1t Is
claimed that the expenses incident
to patenting would be greater Than
the value of the interest.
The claim was located January 10,
1902, by w. ]. Stewart. Ida l.. Cal
lagher and George Paul. The estate
of Ida L. Gallagher was p,obated In
the district court last month, and w.
c. Gallagher. father of the deceas
ed, was named as administrator. In
order that a satisfactory title to the
Fraction claim could be obtained.

TT Is WAR.

Five great nations and an I'M
known number of smaller ones tear
ing each others threats. England,
France and Russia locked in a death
grapple with the German empire and
Austria. Fleets and armies such as
the w%ar-searred planet never has
seen before engaged in a work of
slaughter made ten times more ter
rible by the misapplied ingenuity Of
science. And all because Austria
refuses to accept an apology which
she had no right TO demand, and be-
cause the German emperor, for rea-
sons which assuredly have no hui
m%anitarian basis, chooses TO support
his ally instead of urging her to
moderation.
To justify such a war for such an
excuse is impossible. 1t is a crime
against civilization. If n puts
aside moral considerations, however,
IL is not hard to discern the selfish
motives prompting strife.-Chicago
