PERKINS AND BEvER|DGE
D|sCRED|T b0RAH
ALARMED At DRIFT OF PRO-
GREssiVES BACK TO TIE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.

According to Washington cores
York and former Senator Beveridge
of Indiana as well as lesser lights in
the bull moose party are genuinely
alarmed over the return to the repub-
lican party of large number of voters
who in 1912 voted for Colonel Roose-
welt and other third party nominees
Finding themselves unsuccessful In
their efforts to check the return of
republicans to. the old standard Per-
kins and Beveridge. working jointly
have undertaken to destroy the lead
ers Of the get together" movement in
the hope of checking further deser-
tions from their crumbling party.
There are other causes Of unres,
in the bull moose party. 1t seems that
former Senator Beveridge Is seeking
the presidential nomination at the
hands of this party in 1916 and thai
he has the financial as well as moral
backing Of Mr. Perkins. Senator Bev-
eridge, It will be recalled, took the
public into his confidence on one oc-
casion and announced that he was pre-
ordained to become president of the
United States at some time during his
career. The young Indiana politician
is now helping fate by fixing 1916 as
the time when he is to move into the
White House.
6orah in the Way.
Ever since the meeting of the re-
publican national committee in Wash
ington last December when it was de-
cided that delegates to future republi-
can conventions VINO had been chosen
at primaries should be seated, Senator
Borah Of Idaho has enjoyed place of
distinction in American politics, for
he, more than any other man, domin
ated the national committee, and he
more than any other man, is recogniz
ed as the most prominent leader In
the movement to bring about reunion
within the republican party.
Senator Borah occupies position
where he is supported not only by
who remained loyal to tho
party in 1912, but by countless other
voters who temporarily left the party

discovered this ore in the mine. He
was ashamed to have it known that
he had been throwing the ore over the
dump.
Lottery Prize Winner.
The good luck Of the wife of tho or
lginal dlscoverer of the Enterprise
mine at Rico, Colo, led to its discov-
cry In sinking wet shaft, the owner
had become heavily in debt, when hi
wife was fortunate enough to draw
$4,000 prize in the Louisiana lottery.
She had the nerve to put 1t into the
mine, receiving an undivided ne-half
interest. With this they were enabled
to sink farther and eventually opened
a blanket vein on adjoining properties
After taking out a million, the Enter
prise was sold for one and one-quarter
millions.
The Tomboy mine, Telluride. Colo,
In its prospect days, was taken over
by hardware merchant, the surface
indications being poor for debt of
$1,000. This led to its development in
to a paying mine. and 1t was afterward
sold to an English company for more
than million dollars. 1t Is still pay
ing dividends.

some development work and shipping

Another Mexican Mine.
1t is claimed that the rich gold camp
Of San Jose de Gracia, Sinaloa, Mexi-
co, was discovered by the Spanards
about 100 years ago Having heard Of
gold in that section they were investi-
eating the district. Being out OF meat
and seeing an Indian hut and goat cor
raj, with goats within, they rode ur
to buy some goats and noticed that the
corral was made Of gold bearing quartz

discovered nearby and a rich mine
was opened which is still producing

Accidental Discoveries of Mines

&c. l.. Sheldon in Mining and Scienti-

Many years ago two prospectors
were grubstaked by saloon keeper in
town not far from the present Occur
d'Alene district, Idaho. They were Civ
en- burro on which to pack their food
and supplies. They returned for more
grub several times. Finally, being dis
couraged and out of sorts. they quar-
relied and divided up the outfit. One
struck out down the gulch, the other
! to whom the gun and burro fell, went
to hunt his burro. He found him ur
on the side of the mountain standing
upon the outcrop of what is today one
Of the largest dividend paying mines
Of the district.
Tho Granite Mountain.
In the early days of the Granite
Mountain mine, Montana, which has
paid many millions in dividends, when
the shaft was about 100 feet deep
driving was being done from the bot

tain number of holes for shifts work
and they were given a sufficient num-
Der Of sticks of powder for the holes
drilled. The ground was pretty tough
and as the shift boss was an easy GO
ing man, some of the miners would
throw some Of their powder through
the cracks Of the timbers near the bot =
tom Of the shaft, thus avoiding the
drilling of one or two holes. One day
one Of the miners, the last one going
up, threw a stick Of powder, with a
lighted fuse attached, in behind the
tlmbers. The explosion was so terri
flc that 1t proved that many of the
miners had been caching their powder
there The explosion opened up an
other parallel vein which was very
rich.
Fortune in Galena.
A one-time partner Of mine, in the
early '70s, travelling on foot along the
main trail from Red Mountain to Iron
ton. Colo, sat down under tree at the
side Of the trail to rest Having a
small prospector's pick in his hand, he
broke off piece of the rock nearest
to him and this proved to be galena
An hours prospecting on the noun
tain side disclosed the vein, although
hundreds of good practical miners had
passed over the trail without noticjna
the float. He took out $4,000 worth
Of ore and sold the claim for $4,000.

At the Camp Bird claim, near Ouray
Colo the men doing the annual assess
ment work late in the fan cut some
material in the drift that was differen
from the rock which they had beer
driving on. On account Of q heav,
snowfall they were obliged to leave th'
property in haste and forgot to TAXI
samples of the new material with them
Eventually this rock, which had beer
thrown on the dump, proved to be ricl
ore and led to the discovery of TIL

Trouble Ahead for SmeIters.

\ story was published this week -
the effect that considerable number
of Tooele county land owners had fig
ured out that It was time for another
millennium and We're about h strike
the money that was to be paid In the
cvent of smoke damage.
"Fifty' Is the number Of discounted
farm owners mentioned In the story.
It may be that 80 farmers around
Tooele are anxious to sell their land
and ii may be that the report is ex-
aggerated, but in either case 1t Is .
good bet that the smelter smoke has
little to dc with the matter.

TO0ELE SHELTER SMOKE
AND UTAH FARMERS
POSSIBLE DAMAGES CAUSES
WONDERFUL INCREASE IN
VALUE OF THE LAND.

There was great celebration in
Tooele county in September, 1908,
when the general manager of the Utah
Consolidated Mining company distrb-
uted 100000 among the farm owners
Of that county in payment for land
easements from smoke damage to
land. The mining company bought
1000 acres outright and paid 10 per
cent Of the agreed value of 10000
acres. If the farmers were seriously
damaged by smoke from the smelter
which the company proposed to build,
the owners were to get the other 80
per cent Of the valuation and the com
pany was to take over the lands says
Murray Schick in Goodwn's Weekly
Real Money for Farmers.
| 1t surely was a great day in Tooole
100000 in real money turned loose
among the agricultural population at
one time. There We're only about 300
farmers in the whole county and the
total expenditures Of these farms for
a year We're less than 100000.
No wonder the people looked in
their Hostetter almanacs to see If the
millennium had sure enough arrived.
It wasn't the millennium exactly,
but 1t was a decided step in that d.
rection so far as the industrial pros
perity Of Tooele valley was concerned.
The International Smelling company
followed in the wake Of the Utah Con-
solidated took over its land, contracts
and easements and spent the apprais-
ed value Of all the land and farm i'm
provements in Tooele county on new
smelling plant.
Smoke Of Prosperity.
On July 25, Governor Spry touched
a match to the contents of one Of the
furnaces at the smelter and the valley
witnessed, with every evidence Of sat
isfaction, the beginning Of the most
prosperous area in its history.
In selecting the site and building the
International smelter every care was
taken to prevent injury by the fumes
from the stack. The plant was erected
at the edge Of the valley near the
