 yay Alaska has been the dumping 1 ground for the incompetents. But Alaska does not necessarily have tc remain in this rather humiltating position. The territory has no enemies outside. no matter what she may have thrust upon her. and at the present time the tendency ia Washington is to listen with courtesy to any reason able request from the people of the territory which is made in suberness of thought and with nothing but the best interests of the territory at heart.
 The impression has been fostered In this far away land of the Seward pen insula. for instance. that the powers at Washington cared not one Jot or one t!ttle for the desires or the opinions or the people of the land. This belief was born and is kept alive by those v ho do not want the people to realize tfeir strength and the ones who profit by foisting this belief on the people smile and rule and draw down the sal- aries that they could not make before tl:ey came to Alaska.

What Secretary of the Interior Lane told the committee of congress yester- day was one of the truest things ever spoken in the historic capitol building at Washington. He said that what was the matter with the congress of the United States was that there was en- tirely t1u much talk and too little action gong Oil up there. Tho secre- tory was referring to the pending AL aska legislation but what he said was equally true of all legislation which comes up lr Washington.
 However. WI. in Alaska. will not urihhle over the time spent in talk bv the honorable gentlemen in con gross if in the end they come through with what Is requisite and necessary for our well being and prosperity.
 But while we are looking for all good things to como out of the volumn of talk now being induiged In by the m tionui congress. all good things for Nc mo. We must not forget that the secretary intimated that less talk and more action would be a good thing.
 We must remember that if moro action is Il good thing for the national congress to indulge in 1t is also q good thing for everyone else to indulge 'n who expects to advance in tho world. Talk never got anyone anywhere. cX- ccpt politician. and no real red blooded men wants 10 spend his life being a politician. They have to do a certain amount of talking to keen themselves before the public. but MT Lame was right when hc demanded less talk and moro actinn. even from tl'' politicians.
 It will not take very much talk right now for the people of Nome to iny cut some sort of future policy for themselves. It will be necessary t" have some talk m order tO get tho opinions of all of the men whose opin- kns arc worth listening to and of some
 Inc men whose opinions are not worth listening to. hut 1t will not re- ouire great voiumns of talk from n great many men.

MOUNTAIN MINING COMPANY
CUTS new VEIN THAT LOOKS GOOD

depth of about 100 feet vertical from
the surface at a point just below the
mill, and it is the intention to mine
this by the glory-hole system from
the surface in the same way as the
"stringer" system of veins is being
worked by crushing the entire pro-
duct and sending the fine material
to the mill.
The cross-cut is now being contin-
ued in a southwesterly direction to
explore two other great mineral zones
which have also been exposed on the
surface by the placer operations of
the past season, and which promise
to develop into very big and i'm
portant orebodies.
The mine throughout is in splen-
did physical condition. In the work
ings from the main incline working
shaft, the continuation of the ore
shoot from the 700-foot level to the
900-foot level has now been proved
where it faulted into a footwall of
the vein. Drifting on it has been
started, and a good grade of mill ore
is being developed.
These new developments guaran-
tee an immense increase in the ton
mage of ore reserves in the mine, of
bitter average grade than the ore
treated in the past year.
The mill is treating an average OF
10 tons of ore daily, and continues
to make a high extraction of the
assay values.
Placer operations at Round Noun
tain last season were most success
full, a gross output of about $780,
600 having been made by Dave
Llewellyn, and associates from a
very small acreage, and indications
are that the next season, which will
commence in about two months, will
be still more successful, as the can
yons from which the water supply Is
obtained are reported to be full OF
snow, indicating an increased supply
of water, and operation will be con-
Quoted on a more extensive scale
than last season.-Tonopah Miner.

interest in two claims of the prop
erty for a substantial price.
The Burlington property, which is
located in the Mason Pass section
of the district, has been under de-
velopment for the past several
months. A shaft is being sunk fol-
lowing the ore down and Superin-
tendent Mcleod says he things he
has it now where he can say
he has a mine. The ore is going
down and the property is looking
better than at any time in it's history.
j. F. c. Rahmstorf, of Byron, Cal,
was an arrival in the district last
week and has a force of men work
ing on his group of claims just north
of the Yerington-Bullion cOmpany's
property and just south of the Wis
hart Portland group. Quite an
amount of development work las
been planned and will be pushed
along as rapidly as possible.-Yer-

r. H. Ernest, superintendent of
the Round Mountain Mining COM
pany, was in Tonopah this week.
and stated that the mine is show
ing great improvement and two new
splendid orebodies have recently
been opened up in the property.
One of these is known as vein All
and was encountered in a southwest
cross-cut from the 450-foot level
of the mine at a point about coo feet
southwest of the main workings on
that level. This vein has been drift
ed on for a length of $50 feet, and
has shown a width varying from IL
inches to over 5 feet of an average
value of $40 a ton. The vein has
also been opened up by a series of
drifting on it in a northwesterly di-
rection is now in progress, the face
of the drift showing about 3 feet of
excellent grade ore.
This work gives a vertical depth
of about 40 feet on the vein, and
wines will now be sunk on it to de-
termine the continuation of the ore
shoot, and cross-cuts will also be
started from the 600 and 700-foot
levels of the mine to cut it at great
err depth, the curse of the vein in
dicating that at this depth it will be
nearer to the Los Gazabo vein than
on the upper levels.
In extending this southwesterly
cross-cut a great mineral ore zone
was encountered about 100 feet
beyond vein All. This mineral zone
had been exposed on the surface by
the hydraulic workings on the placer
property in the past season, and
showed about the same width where
the surface had been washed off. The
ore occurs in a brecciated zone in
which is some waste mixed with ore,
and only the finer material is sent
to the mill, averaging from So to SIS
a ton. Drifting east and west on
this zone has been started, both
drifts showing a full face of mill ore.
This vein was encountered at a

Teaching Safety by Motion Pictures

The pictorial method of educating
foreign-born coal miners in ways to
avoid dangers while at their work
have been used by the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western company for
som time, but the use of motion pic
lures certainly is an important sup
plement to the use of ordinary pho
tographs and pictures.
Miners, particularly of the Hitter
ate class, need some form of enter
tainment that is instructive to them.
Moving pictures ought to fill the bill.
BY interspersing films of an enter
tanning character with those for in
struction purpose, the men will find
learning a pleasure and will learn
without great mental effort, some
thing that is very important, as to
men who have unframed minds men
tai effort is difficult and usually de-
cidedly disagreeable.
This method of instruction by NOV
ing pictures might be well extended
to the metal-mining fields. where
much unskilled and foreign-born la
Dor is employed. This method OF
combined entertainment and instruc-
ton ought to give quick and certain
results to the profit of both the en-
ployers and employees. = Mining

The movies" have a wide field of
usefulness not only as a popular
means of entertainment for separat-
ing people from their nickels and
dimes, but also as an educational fac
tor of growing Importance. We have
just been advised that motion pic
lures and photographs are now being
brought to play a part in the edu-
cational system now being developed
by the coal operators of West Vir-
ginia to lessen the number of mine
accidents, increase efficiency at the
mines and add to the earning capac-
ity of the miners. In no other way,
it is said, have the companies been
able to bring home to the men the
danger and the need of caution. This
is especially true in the case of for
eign-born miners, al only compare
lively few of these men can speak
or read English. For them, partic-
ularly, it is found that the pictorial
method is more effective than any
other method of warning them of
dangers to be avoided. The photo
graphs and moving pictures to be pro-
duced will show how the work should
not be done and then how it should
be done-the wrong way involving
danger and the right way insuring
safety.

Mine MANAGERS MAKE
REPORT Of PAST WEEKS ACTIVITY

The report of the United Comstock
Pumping Association today shows
that during the past week the water
has been taken out below the $500
foot level an additional 501s feet the
water level this morning being III
feet below the collar of the Con. Vir-
ginia winze and 175 feet below the
collar of the Mexican-Ophir winze.
This is splendid progress for the
week and brings the 200 level with
in close reach. The gain made was
in spite of a very material delay u
to a broken discharge valve cover
on No. 2 Starrett pump, n a
broken suction valve spindle on No.

the pump, the north drift from the
Con. Virginia winze station was
cleaned out and repaired 81 feet; to-
tai distance in good repair 4S6 feet.
All the shaft pumps ran smoothly.

incline has been taken out rs feet
for the week, the water now stand
ing at a point so feet below h 15OO
level in the incline. Necessary re-
pairs are now being made to the in
cline, and the ground is being thor
oughly drained. This is shown from
the fact that the water is below the
1900 or the Belcher incline and over
20 feet below the 400 in the yell
low Jacket incline. The pumps are
giving very satisfactory service thus
far and proving highly efficient.
There has beer an improvement in
the Ophir mine the past week, on the
intermediate level from the two-com-
partment raise above the 24OO-foot
level, where a southwest drift has
been following on a well DENIED vein
formation. The drift was advanced

A Boston dispatch of a few days
ago SAYS that the officials of the Ne
vada-Douglas company have received
reports from the ten-ton expert
mental plant at Denver, COL, as TO
results of the teaching of Nevada
Douglas ore which it has been WORK
ing. Three runs of ore were MADE
through this small mill. The II
hat seems most practical produced
two sections of copper about one
third of an inch thick. This copper
was precipitated from the sulphurlc
acid lixiviant with a current density
of as ampere per square foot, while
the results obtained indicated that
they got only So per cent OF efnclency
of electric current. 1t nevertheless
proved that the company can produce
conner at the mine at a maximum
cost of between s and . cents per
pound. This covers mining, crush
ing, sulphuric acid consumption II
all other ~incidentals. Copper pro-
duced by this process is as good as
any e%lectrolytic copper on the mar
ket. The company can make a saw
ing of 90 per cent from ore running
but 2 per cent copper.

perts who stand at the head in their
profession have recently visited the
ground. Among these are Messrs.
Wilson and Porter. of the Guggen-

time at the property and were so
favorably impressed with 1T that they
will make a return visit in a short
time. President Adams Is o spend
ing his time at the mine advising and
hurrying things along so thai pro-
duction can soon begin.
Bovard and Knight and their as
sociates, who recently made a nice
strike on their ground in the Pump
kin Hollow section, are taking out
some very fine ore. Mr.. BOvard re-
ports that he has thirty inches OF
gold ore that will run from $500
to s4OO per ton, with a rich core that
will go $40 a pound. This ore is
now being taken out and sacked
and the boys expect to have a carload
ready to ship as soon as the roads
are in condition to haul over to the
railroad. Bovard has sold a half
