throughout the entire district. One
can easily realize what it means to
have these two valuable properties in
the hands of people with so much
wealth behind them as the Guggen-
helms
The North Star mine, while oper-
ated years ago, produced an aggregate
of 100000 from it's silver-lead ores.
Only that class of ore was worked at
that time. This mine contains vast
bodies of oxidized ores, carrying gold,
silver, lead and zinc. During the time
the mine was worked, there was no
process known that would save the
values in the oxidized ores, but now
these ores can be worked at a profit.
1t is estimated that there are over
10000 tons of this ore blocked out in
the mine, besides other milling ore
that can be handled at a profit.
Record of Mine.
There are also 10000 tons of tail
lngs left by the old mill, and these
can be worked over at a substantial
profit.
The North Star was formerly the
property of the Philadelphia Smelling
company, and was taken over by Mr..
boyle from Mr.. Rhodes, trustee of
that company.
The Triumph mine which, like the
North STAR has been inactive for
many years, produced $4,000 during
the time it was in operation. At 200
feet in depth in this property there
are blocked out 10000 tons Of milling
ore that can be profitably worked.
The ore reserves in the North Star
and Triumph mines are shown by re-
ports made on the properties in 1872
when a deal was pending that failed
to mature.
The Triumph group was formerly
the property Of the r. G.. Chambers
estate.

selves were able to serve this severe
apprenticeship are prone to forget
that their sons have been reared upder
less Spartan conditions and are not
so fitted to stand the strain. More
over, rough labor does have a coarsen-
ing effect, which may be temporary,
but in some cases endures, This may
seem a negligible matter, If it involves
only loose speech and vulgar terms of
expression, but, after all, what is the
purpose of a university training if not
to give refinement of mind. Much of
the belief that manual, or a training
that begins at the bottom of the lad
der, is good for the young fellows is
based on the fallacy that a man must
do thing himself in order to know
how 1t should be done and whether 1t
is done properly. That is wrong. Keen
observation and logical reasoning will
enable quick witted person to pass
correct judgment on performance
that he himself could not duplicate

OF course, every kind of experience is
useful. If the span of human life
were that of an oak, we. should advise
the young engineer to submit him

of mining and metallurgical activity.
But time is of the essence in this
matter, as in most human affairs. AIRS

Mucking AS An Educator practical
Suggestions To Engineer Graduates
Mining and Scientific Press)
Mining and Scientific Press)

This is the season for giving counsel
to students about to commence a
carer in mining. Most of them will
have had advice ad nauseam and may
be pardoned if they ask to be excused
from more of it. There are two reas-
ons for giving advice, one because
the other fellow wants 1t, the other
because you feel impelIed to give it
to him. The impulsion may arise
from hearing somebody else giving
directions that appear to be quite
wroong. An injunction against which
we would like to enter a creveat is
that concerning manual labor. More
than once we have seen a scholarly
gentleman waving his lily-white hands
while he urged his young friends to
get down to realities, to become prac-
tlcal, to serve the apprenticeship of
toll, by working as shoveler driller,
trammer or timberman, preparatory
to promotion as shift boss, superin-
tendent, or manager. We remember
discussing this subject-the advisable
ity of mining graduates starting as
manual laborers in the mine or mill
many years ago in the office of the
Calumet & Hecla with four other men
equally anxious to find the answer to
@ basic question. What the present
writer thought then he still thinks
and 1t is this, that for such gradual
ed mining students as are sufficient
muscular and hardy to perform the
work of manual labor underground it
is an excellent experience If not I'M
duly prolonged. BY working side by
side with the toilers on a days day
the young man can gain an under
standing and sympathy with the run
of-mine workers that may prove in
valuable later when he becomes a sup
erintendent or manager. But not many
young fellows can do such work as
drilling, tramming or shoveling with
out being so fatigued as to care only
for sleep or food When working I'M
der such a strain, their mental facul-
ties are in allegiance, they cease to
observe, and they learn next to moth
ing. Is it a mere treadmill. We speak
for the average man. Not long ago
one of our friends, now a distinguish
ed engineer, told US how he used to
work with the timber-g gang and when
the shift was over he had enough
energy left to enable him to dance till
the small hours; he was so strong
that his work did not begin to exhaust
him. For him, and few others like
him, the experience of a working min
err was excellent; for it was not pro,
longed he was promoted. But to the
average young fellow such an exper-
fence means utter physical exhaustion
and the loss of valuable time, for he
learns comparatively little while at
work, owing to the intense absorption
in the physical performance. In some
cases, the effort induces permanent |

NORTH STAR.TR|UMPH
LARGE ORE RESERVES
WOOD RIVER MINE TAKEN OVER
BY THE A. S. G. r. CON-
PANY-MANAGER.

Interest in the acquisition of the
North Star and Triumph mines in the
Wood River district by the American
Smelling and Refining company has
a local bearing owing to the fact that
E. Percy Smith, of this city, for sew
eral years assistant general manager
of the Federal Mining & Smelling
company, has been placed in charge
of their development and left last
week to take up his new duties. Mr.
Smith will make his home in HALEY.
The following information regarding
the North Star and Triumph is taken
from the HALEY News Miner:
Plans for the Properties.
Definite and authentic information
in regard to the deals whereby the
North Star and Triumph groups of
mines on East fork have passed into
the hands of the Guggenheims, or the
American Smelling and Refining COM
pany was received by the News Miner
yesterday. Much has been said about
these transactions of late, but it has
been mostly guessing. The News
Miner has refrained from using the
rumors for reasons best known to this
paper.
J. P. Boyle, general manager Of the
Lost Packer mine on Loon creek
came here about year ago and took
hold of the North Star for the purpose
of a thorough inspection and test Of
the vast bodies of ore in the property
and for the purpose of interesting
capital. That he succeeded in his
plans is evidenced by the fact that
he has sold both the North Star and
Triumph to the Guggenheim people.
A concentration plant will be erect
ed Immediately at the mines. A pow
err line will also be run from HALEY to
the properties, and compressor put
in. Work of developing the proper
ties will be pushed forward on both
groups.
The sale of these mines means
much for Wood river, and especially
HALEY and the immediate vicinity.
This is the biggest and most momen-
tous mining transaction that has been
consummated in this region for many
years

Motor Trucks to Haul Copper Ore
From Copper Basin to Railroad.

(Maekay Miner)
H. w. Weller, manager of the com
pany operating the Reed & Davidson
copper mines in Copper Basin, twenty
five miles from Mackay, has contract
ed with a Salt Lake City transporta-
ton man for the delivery, by auto
trucks, of two thousand tons of ore
from the mines to Mackay during the
month of June, as a starter on a long
contract to extend throughout the
summer shipping season.
Six Packard trucks are to be used
in transporting the ore on the first
months contract. Each truck has a
capacity of five tons and each one is
equipped with a trailer of five tons
capacity, and with each outfit making
one trip a day car a day can thus
be delivered to Mackay, the shipping
point
The trucks have a high summit to
go over, but the steep pull is on the
way into the basin with empty trucks
and the load comes ever a gentle,
long raise of easy grade.
The same transportation is to Gper-
ate one truck from the Weller lead
belt mines, hauling the lead silver ores
from that property to the railroad at
Darlington, distance of about twenty
miles.
Inside of ten days the biggest
freightirg season that this country has
Ky er known will begin and every horse
and wagon in the district will be in
demand.
The Lost Packer, the Custer Slide
and other mining companies will en-
ploy more freighters than ever before
and with the possibilities Of Clayton
resuming operations the demands for
freight outfits will be greater than
ever.

COURT HITS PRIMARY
USE OF PUBLIC FUNDS
HELD PUBLIC MONEY CAN NOT
BE USED FOR POLITICAL
PARTY.

A decision of the supreme court of
Texas which If followed in other
states would apparently deal Sc
we're blow to every primary election
law has been handed down in the
suit of NAPLES VS.. Marrast, in which
the court says the money of the pub
lie treasury can not be used by a poi
itical party to hold primary elections
to select it's candidates for officel The
suit was brought to test the presiden-
tial primary election law recently
passed, which provided that the eX-
pense of such primary election of
party whose candidate for governor at
the last preceding election had re-
ceived at least $4,000 votes should be
paid out of the county treasury of
each county. Under the agreed facts
in the case only the democratic par
ty was eligible under the act, since its
candidate was the only one to receive
as much as $4,000 votes. 1t was agreed
that the cost Of the election would be
at least 100000. The court said:
An improper Expense.
1.-THE great powers of the state
and the taxing power is the one to be
always the most carefully guarded
can not be used, in our opinion, in aid
of any political party or to promote
the purposes of ALI political parties.
\, 70 INn Ia he oh
jects of governmental bounty or favor
than any other class Of public organ
izations into which groups of citi-
zens may form themselves. Expenses
incurred in the furtherance of their
objects can no more be betrayed out
of the public treasury than the ex-
penses of other associations of in
dividuals. If it is constitutional to use
the public revenues to pay the cost
of their primary elections, it would
likewise be constitutional to pay the
cost of their candidates campaigns.
If the constitutional barrier is remov-
ed in the one case, it can not be re
stored in the other.
State and Political Parties.
ITO provide nominees of political
parties for the people to vote upon in
the general elections is not the BUSH
ness of the state. 1t is not the bust
ness Of the state because in the con-
duct of the government the state
knows no parties and can know none.
If it is not the business Of the state
to see that such nominations are
made, as it clearly is not, the public
revenues can not be used in that con-
nection. To furnish their nominees as
claimants for the popular favor in the
general elections is matter which
concerns alone those parties that de-
sire to make such nominations. 1t Is
alone their concern because they alone
are interested in the success of their
nominees. The state, as a govern
ment can not afford to concern itself
in the success of the nominees of any
political party, or in the elective OFF,
ces of the people being filed only by
those who are the nominees Of some
political party. Political parties are
political instrumentalities. They are
in no sense governmental instrument
talities. The responsible duties of
the state to all the people are to be
performed and it's high objects eff
fected without reference to parties,
and they have no part or place in the
exercise of its great province in gov
erning the people"
