Why Mines are Scarce

1t seems to me evident then that
the stagnation in mining is not due
othe exhaustion of easily discovered
orebodies but to the fact that those
who have in the past been the
principal purchasers OF prospects,
have been driven from the field and
Justly so, while a sufficient number
Of buyers of the right sort have not
come foreward to take their place,
says an expert writing in The
Engineering and Mining Journal.
When these arrive we need not
worry about the fate of the poor
old prospector. He has done his
part but we are not doing ours.
When we work the ore-bodies he
has discovered, he, or they who
come after him, will search for
more and will find them; all this
talk OF exhaustion not twithstnnding.
The promoters and ameturer
mining companies in the past,
were, however, the principal pur-
chasers of prospects, crenting
ready market for any good dis
covcry and for many that were not.
This resulted in great activity in
prospecting, since the demand for
discoveries exceeded the supply
while now the supply vastly ex-
cecdcs the demand. The prospector
is now left with claims on his hands
LOO good to abandon but upon
which he must perform his annual
work. He has little time or money
to search the hills and, besides, he
is too discouraged to do so.
Although such promoters lost
most of the investors money and
did much useless development,
nevertheless, every year several
properties passed the list of steady
producers. Now that they are out
Of the field there are few to take
their places, ~ that even now they
who buy nothing bat mines arc

Iron Mines to

Harry A. House. representing

was in the Record Office this week
to arrange for proof a publication
on the properly 81 his cdfIpany IN a
patent pending before the United

The Mammouth Iron Mines
company, it will be remembered. .
is the corporation that has secured
the 2S,6O0 acres of land on the
western slope of Marshall pass
and will develop large iron deposits
there by hydraulic mining.
Mr.. House informed the Record
that the deep SHOWS of the past
winter had prevented anything be-
ing done, but again stated that as
soon as the snow would permit,
that large force of men would be
put to work. and in a short time
after the ground was bare this force
would number about $50 men.
He also again stated that the
company had entered into a con-
tract with the c. f. & I. for 1000
tons Of iron ore per day; that the
contract covered a period OF ten
years with an option for five addit-
ional years; that this would mean

LAST OF THE SEASON. :

opened with Hutchinson yester-
day, after which Emporia comes
for three games and then Salina
for a like number, and the sea-
son will be over as far as Great
Bend is concerned for this year.
and probably also for some years
to come, as the chances are that
the town will have no Salaried
team next year, as the sport Is
considered by many ios be more
Of a luxury than the town can
well afford.

ed today, the first game starting
at 2:l5 and there will also be
double headers Sunday and Mon
day. The games. except on the
days of the double headers, will

can. Give the team a good boost

you on even terms before the

Ii your statement that your col

If you decline to accept the pro-

In conclusion, let me assure
you, as was done in the. letter
challenging you in a joint debate,
that if you accept the proposal
herein made, it will not be the
policy of the writer to quibble
concerning either appropriations

HODGES AFTER
CAPPER AGAIN.

Governor Hodges has written
another letter to Arthur Capper.
The Republican State Central
Committee tried to three-card-
monte the Governor into a debate,
which had the effect of his an
Swering by issuing a challenge
in his speech at Beloit to Mr.. Cap
per or any one else. This was
not accepted, so the Governor is
sued a challenge to Mr.. Capper
direct, which Mr.. Capper has side
stepped, but makes a feint at
wanting 10 give space in his pa
per to anyone who feels himself
aggrieved, hence the Governor
has now written a challenge to
Mr.. Capper for a joint newSpap-
er discussion, to be carried on
through the Capper publications.
Wonder if Capper will accept.
We are betting he won't. The
Governors letter is as follows:

ROTTEN DEMOCRACY.

III there Is anything tnaL Is 0lS-
guSting, it is to see a publication
that pretends to stand for the
principals of any certain politi-
cal party, and then to all the time
be quietly slipping the stiletto
under the ribs of that party. From
a reading of the Hutchinson Ga
zette we believe that it is one of
that kind of publications. The
Gazette has been boosted by west
ern Kansas Democrats in every
conceivable manner that it could
be boosted ever since it has been
running as a Democratic paper.
A number of prominent men have
at various times gone down into
their pockets to make up a finan-
cial deficiency and keep the pub
lication going, and now they are
being rewarded by seeing the
Gazette, under its present manage
ment, assuming a hostile attitude
toward the state administration,
and toward the men who made it
possible for the present manage
ment to have a good plant and
business to begin with when he
assumed charge. MOI only that,
but il is not toling fair by its own
people. For instance, they are
making an unwarranted fight on
George Neeley, living right in
their own city, in his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination
for U. S. senator, and are boosting
a man who, while he is good
Democrat, but whose nomination
would not be the best that could
be made, and IN many other ways
are showing that they are not
nearly as good Democrats as they
would have their readers believe.
And through a series of political
letters written by a disgruntled
individual in Topeka, is giving a
resume OF the conditions in the
state reiaiins 10 the Democratic
parry mai are absurd, and that
d.e written merely as a means Of
raising a little coin. Of course,
.he Gazette can and will do as il
pIeaSeS. Ii can take the CappeI
publications. storiss OF the Hod.
geS administration for truth if il
| wants to, but that is not our idei
OF the game. The Gazette should
either be for the administration
or else il should stop posing as
Democratic sheet soliciting Dem
Ocratic support. We do not inSiS'
on party regularity if there is {
just and reasonable cause for do
ing the other thing, but in this in
stance there is not such a condi
ton, and cannot be. If the Ga
zette is out for the coin, then le
the Democrats so consider it, anC
its readers will not be miSled. W.
shall expect some of the Repub
lican papers to take a shot a
Democratic harmony after read
ing this article, but if so it is onl!
for the purpose of relieving thei,
overburdened feelings on the un
harmoniuS condition of their owl
party. What we would like t,
see is the Gazette assume the pO
Sition in this campaign that
should take, or else come ou
open and above board agains
the administration. 1t has n
right to demand Democratic sup
port and patronage and help, an,
then use the knife to stab its par
\ ty in the back like a hired aSSaS
sin gets its victim.
