Mines ARE MAKING
INCREASED EXTRACTION Of ORE

The feature of Northend mining
reports this week continues to be
the substantial ore extraction from
toe Union Con. mine, where 4G6
tons of ore were taken from the
2IGO and $500 level slopes, the ore
averaging ever $40 per ton, and
hpying a gross value of between
sSd''G AMI SApec. The best va ues
this week came from No. 1 stope ON
the $500 level. and the Wine from
this stope was sunk for an addi-
tional five feet. with the bottom ex-
posing low-grade ore, but with $50
values on the foot-wall side. Excel
lent progress continued at the Union
shaft, where % feet were made in
reopening and repairs below the
1000 level: total distance below that
point in good condition is now 245
feet. The Mexican mill crushed 406
IONS of custom ore of an average as
say value of s21.45 per ton, and a
gross value of about $500. There
is no change in the prospecting
work of the Mexican on the $500
and 2700 levels. but with favorable
formation in the exploration cross
cuts. The old 1000 inclined Wine is
being equipped with ladders and air
pipe.
The Joint Ophir and Con. Virginia
vest crcss-crt on the 2700 level was
carried forward is feet to the 1922
foot point, and the formation is soft
vein porphyry. carrying streaks Of
1uartz. with increased flow of WA
ter. The ground has required close
timbering.
At the Central tunnel of the Ophir
repairs were made to the winze sta
ton on the tunnel level. On the
250-foot level the northeast cross
cut was cleaned out and advanced
Il feet, to the 12S-foot point from
tie south drift.
The Union Con. mine extracted
400 tons of ore the past week, hav-
ing a gross value of between $4,000
and $4,000, recovered as follows:
24O0 level, north stope No. A., 80
tons of an average assay value of
S17.11 per ton; No. 4 south stope,
166 tons averaging $685. per ton;
$500 level, No. | stope, $50 tons

owing to a broken water column in
the C.. & c. shaft.
Further good progress was
made in r%eopening the Union smart
below the 1000 level, % feet being
made for the week to the 245-foot
point below the 1000 station.
The Sierra Nevada on the $500
level has continued stopping in No.
| Slope, the ore being stored in the
underground slopes. The Wine in
No. | stope has been sunk five feet
and the bottom is in low grade ore,
with $50 values on the footwall size.
The Andes company has laid track
on the $50 level and has commenced
breaking rock in an old stope on
this level.
rhe Mexican company on the 1000
level has placed ladders and air pipe
for a distance of 100 feet in the olo
inclined Wine, which is in the
east cross-cut on this level from
the main south drainage drift. On
the $500 level, the west cross-cut
is in %porphyry and quartz of loN
assay value, being advanced 20 feet
for the week. On the 2700 level
r~enairs were made in east cross-cut
No. 4.
The Mexican mill crushed 406
tons of custom ore for the week of
an average assay value of $21.45
per ton, and having a gross value
of over $500.
The Jacket mill received 173
tons of mine ore and GA tons OF
dump rock, and shipped two bars
of bullion to the smelter. On the
1900 level of the mine, at No. =

THIEF BEATS WOMAN
WHEN APPREHENDED

The home of Mrs. Josephine Hub

entered Wednesday morning and
several articles of value taken. En-

SNAKES ARE FARMERS FRIENDS.

Among the best although least ap-
preciated friends of the farmers are
the harmless snakes, such as the milk
snake, the chicken-snake, the garter
snake, the bull-snake, the blotched
king-snake, the blue-snake, the black
snake, and some others. All Of them
are the natural enemies of rats, mice,
weasels and similar animals that in
fest farms and village homes, espec-
tally where there is poultry or other
small live stock.
In an article in the Scientific Amer
lean, Dr. Robert W. Shufeldt of Wash
ington says that it would well repay
every farmer in the country to keep
half a dozen harmless vermin-des-
troying snakes on every acre of his
place Thousands of harmless
snakes are killed every year by boys,
ignorant farm-hands and misinformed
women, although it has been proved
that rats, mice and other rodents cause
enormous losses to cereal crops.
Although most farmers believe that
the common chicken-snake haunts
their outbuildings in order to feed on
their young ducks and chickens, the
snake does nothing of the kind; but
it does destroy great numbers of young
mice, and other pests.
Harmless snakes are the easiest an
imals in the world to tame, and it is
high time that the false ideas about
them should be corrected. More than
that, it should be taught that, like
birds, they are among the best ami
NAL friends that the farmer has. If
we destroy them, we pave the way for
the destruction of our forests, our
staple farm products, and good deal
else that now and always has been
protected by snakes and birds.

CAPITALIST AND WATERPOWER.

When the new Congress opens, one
of the measures to be pressed will be
the shields bill, which has already
passed the Senate. 1t proposes to eff
feet the water power development of
the United States, and in a large meas
ure passes control to private owner
ship. Private capitalists convinced
the senate that it is much better to
let them have the use of the undevel-
oped water power, than for it to con-
tinue to remain idle A good many
people of the United States seem to
think otherwise, and hold to the old
fashioned belief-or rather it may be a
new-fashioned belief that the Gov
eminent has already been too eager to
pass up its great natural resources to
be exploited by private capital

New York city is suffering from the
Overdevelopment of its peculiar activ-
tiles to the extent that a save New
York" movement is deemed necessary.
The alleged evil is the invasion by
manufactures of the Fifth avenue and
Murray hill district The city has al
ways invited and encourage manufac-
turers. Once established there, they
very naturally seize upon all facilities
to maintain their hold. Competition
is so keen that what the many do the
majority must do or lose out. Social
reservations do not appeal to the aver
age New York business man, for he
finds himself crowded out and locates
his home in the suburbs To him New
York proper is d mart where he drives
the best bargain he can. Asking no
favors or, If asking, getting none, he is
little inclined to yield business advan-
tages for reasons of sentiment.

IF we had forty eight states, each

But state is not divided into
equal parts, nor is the nation divided
into equal states. The inevitable neces-

area of taxation so that the nation as
a whole will contribute and cooperate
