Governor Hannal:S Announcement ! ,,l

elsewhere in this issue is the announcement OF
Governor Hanna, asking for denomination and cleo
ton for the office. 1t is a plain, sane statement OF
his position, and shows an appreciation of his con.
stituents. - SO. 80. ,
j. Governor Hanna is a able fnancier and excellent
manager, and Is giving the state one of the very best
administrations which the state has ever had. When
he took office he found an immense amount of bills
unpaid. Most of these have been paid; besides, the
credit of the state has been we'll cared for.
The excellent results contained in the statement
which appears elsewhere in this issue regarding
the retiring of bonds is largely due to his efforts.
This is but one of the many items in which he has
shown his master hand in caring for the finances OF
the state. Mr.. Hanna has many excellent plans Tor
the betterment Of the people which he is DESTROYS OF
working out, and inasmuch as he has made q splef:'
did record in the past, it is nothing; more than fair
and right that he be given q chance to make even
q better showing.
The Tribune believes the people Of this state rec.
ogntze an excellent servant in Governor Hanna. and
that they will return him to the office.

NEW JERsEY-A AND THE TARIFF.

Paterson, N. J., April 56.-Much inter
est is manifest in the special election
TO be held in the Seventh congress
'sional district tomorrow to fill the va.
|cancy caused by the death Of Repre-
sentative Bremen. Four parties are re-
presented in the race. The result is
considered doubtful. The district is a
manufacturing center and the result
is expected to reflect the sentiment in
regards to the new tariff. The Repub.
Hcans have e~ndeavored to keep the
tarin issue to the front in the cam.
.paign. Representative Eremner was a
Democrat and should the district elect
a Republican as his successor the re-
suit naturally would be quoted against
the Wilson administration. The .candi.
dates are: James J. O'Bryne, Demo-
crat; Dow H. Drukker, Republican,:
Henry A. Whitehead. Progressive, and
Gordon Demarest; Socialist.

RACE THAT EQUALLtD
THE ANCIENT GREEKS

Various authorities have ascribed
to the ruins an age of from one to
eleven thousand years. These figures
are based on data derived from
calendar stones preserved In many
places both in Yucatan and in neigh
boring regions such as Mexico and
Guatemala. The stones can be de-
ciphered with considerable accuracy,
and exact dates can be assigned to
the construction of many buildings.
The only trouble is hat the dates
belong to the various local eras of
the different countries, and no one
of the eras began. The ignorance
affords al ample field for specula-
ton. There are, however. strong
reasons for believing that the ruins
date back along time before the COM
ing of the Spaniards. Two of the
strongest of these reasons are thai
when the Spaniards came to Yucca
tan, early in the sixteenth century.
the ,Mayas, in the first place, were
a slow, mild, u~nprogressive people,
utterly different from the ~wideawake
progressive race which alone could
have built the ruins; and in the Sec
ond place they made no claim to any
knowledge or even any tradition as
to the origin of the wonderful struc-
lures among which they dwelt. Prob
ably the present Mayas are the
descendants of the builders of the
ruins, although perhaps largely mix
ed with other invading elements
from the northwest-that is, from
Mexico. BY the sixteenth century of
our era however. they had utterly
degenerated from the vigOr and
originality of their ancestors, and
were apparently much more different
from them than the modern Greeks
are from their ancestors in the days
of Plato and Phidias. The modern
Yucateco does not begin to have the
energy and initiative of the modern
Greek, but l believe it is no exag-
geration to say that his predecessors
were the equals of the Greeks or any
other race so far as real achievement
is concerned. | know that this is a
sweeping statement. and l shall re-
turn to it later. Here it is enough
to point out that the Greeks borrow
ed much of their culture from their
neighbors; the Yucatecos, as far as
we can learn, had no n from whom
to borrow. The Greeks had at their
command the accumulated store of
knowledge and of tools from half a
dozen great nations; the Yucatecos
had only their W culture and their
own crued tools to rely on. Each of
these two nations was great because
it was full of new ideas. We know
the ideas of the Greeks not only
from their ruins. but from their
books. Those of the Yucatecos are
known only from their ruins, and
yet those ruins show that in art,
architecture, and the allied crafts
| brilliant ideas must have been num-
erous.-Ellsworth Huntington in
Harper's Magazine.

"WONOERSTONE"
HAS BEEN SOLD
DEAL CLOSED FOR FAMOUS De-
ORATIVE STONE DEPOSIT
AT IRON POINT.

The satisfactory arrangement or
terms involving the transferring OF
the only commercial wonderstone de-
post in the world, so far as known,
marks an epochal time in the indus
trial utilization of Nevada's wonder
full resources. This property, former
ly owned by H. w. Steffen OF Golcon-
da and Alan Chester of Iron Point,
has passed into the hands of E. A.
Worswick and associates of Lovelock.
The plans of the new owners in
vOlve the forming OF an incorpora-
ton, controlled by some of the most
successful business men in Nevada,
and the opening up of the quarry
along modern and scientific lines. 1t
is expected with the immense ton
mage in sight that the Southern Pa
cific will build a three-mile spur to
the wonderstOne deposit.
The gigantic proportions OF this
modern wonder in stone are hard to
comprehend, based on the usual ton
nag system used in calculating ore
in our mines.
An authority on wonderstOne says:
This deposit of stone measures in
actual outcrop AGO feet long and
from 800 to 700 feet thick and rises
to an extreme height of 172 feet
above the valley floor, dips at an an
gle of "a degrees from a horizontal.
The actual commercial stone runs
well into the millions of cubic yards
and as it is of sedimentary origin,
probably continues without particular
definition into the earth along its
bedding plane. Further than this
cannot be said; however, calculating
the output at the maximum of 1000
tons a day, fifty years would be re-
quired to exhaust the known depOs-
it,"
On absolutely reliable information
the first order has been received
fro man eastern manufacturing and
building concern offering $3.50 per
ton f. O. b. at IrOn Point, for the
wonderstone. While this is obvious
ly a higher price than the great bulk
of this product will be sold for, 1T
gives an adequate idea of it's posi-
bilities.
Recently exhibited samples of the
stone in Winnemucca show the re-
m~arkably brilliant polish taken and
the consequent enhancing of h de
sign beauty, and last but no least,
the in~exhaustible supply of color and
designings to cover the widest pos
sibilities of architectural demand

HALIFAX TO BUILD
MILL, SAYS KEARNS

Another mill for Tonopah is the
assurance of Senator Thomas Kearns
of Salt Lake, one of the principal
stockholders OF inc Halifax Tonopan
Mining company, after he returned
home from a visit to this state when
he took up the future policy OF the
Halifax with 3. F. Edwards, vice
president of the West End.
An official statement from the SEN
ator appears in the Salt Lake Trib-
une, which arrived yesterday, and
this is taken as authentic infOrma-
ton, since hal paper is owned by
Senator Kearns and his associate,
David Keith. The Tribune article
reads:
while in Nevada Senator Kearns
conferred with contractors relative
to the construction of a large new
mill on the Halifax-Tonopah proper
ty. Estimates on the probable cost
of the construction of the mill were
received, but no action was taken
relative to the time when the con-
Kearns, however, said that it was the
purpose of the company to build the
mill in the near future. The mine is
apparently rich in ore, but the ore
cannot be profitably handled unit
the new mill is put in operation"
This explains the change of front
in the operations of the remOdeled
West End mill, where it was COM
monty supposed the Halifax would
have fifty tons daily treated. This
plan was supposed to become effect.
i've on the first of the month, but
subsequent developments in the West
End caused the management of that
property to prefer using the entire
battery of lnirty stamps for theil
own ore, especially in view of the
fact that development of the lower
contact which may be cut in the shaft
any day would give the West Emo
IN enormous tonnage. demanding ex
:.usive use of the entire mill capac-
lty.
The report from Salt. Lake takes
the Halifax back to the original plans
which contemplated the erection Of
a mill right at the mine, where ar
abundance of water IS available fol
running a mill handling 200 tom
daily. This would materially reduce
tho cost Of treatment since uSa nj
the West End mill would involve
trucking ore cross the camp. Ii
other words. the underground devel.
opment of both properties has
reached the limit of the mill capacity
and the. resolution to build another
mill for the Halifax is a logical out
come of the congestion.
