l.. A. Burleigh Gives
Explanation Of the
Corrupt Practices Act

With view to assisting the political
committeeman of both parties in the dis
charge Of their duties, l have been re-
quested by the chairman Of the Laymen's
Federation committee to briefly explain
the two principal sections Of the corrupt
practices act relating to election expendi-
lures by party committees. They read
as follows:
mo person other than a treasurer or
political agent shall pay any Of the ex-
penses Of any election, caucus. or pri-
mary election. except that a candidate
may pay his actual personal expenses for
postage, kilograms. telephones, stationery
express and travelling; but the provisions
Of this section shall not apply to non
partisan election and ante reelection ex-
penses paid for out Of the public mon
other municipality"
Subject to the foregoing limitations, 1t
shall be lawful for any treasurer or po-
l1tical agent, in connection with any cleo
tion. causcus or primary election. to pay
the following expenses:
(a) of hiring public halls and music for
conventions, public meetings and public
primaries, and for advertising the same
by posters or otherwise:
(b) of printing and circulating political
newspapers, pamphlets and books;
(c) of printing and distributing ballots
and pastors;
(d) of renting and furnishing rooms to
be used by political committees, and for
the reasonable entertainment and refresh
ment, exclusive Of alcoholic beverages, OF
the members Of such committee;
(e) Of compromising clerks and other
persons employed in committee rooms and
at the polls;
(D of travelling expenses Of political
agents. committees and public speakers,
and reasonable compensation to public
speakers:
(g) of necessary postage. kilograms tel
ephones printing, newspaper advertising,
express and conveyance charges. The
term conveyance charges shall include
the conveyance Of electors to the polls.
No treasurer or political agent shall in
cur any expense for any purpose not au-
thorized by this section"
Clauses (e) and (g) above are the
only ones calling for comment. With
the obvious qualification that under no
circumstances can a person be paid or
promised money. property, office, or
anything of value as an inducement
for him to vote in a particular way.
and that the expenses are paid by his
own political party, 1 construe these
clauses as follows:
Clause (e): "compensatino clerks
and other persons employed in com.
m'ttes rooms and at the polls" This
authorizes the employment, in commit

A report comes from Wabnska
giving grounds for hope of immed-
late action on the part of the smelter
people. Five men were hired last
week and put to work requiring cart
ridges and water pipes, while two
more were taken on the latter part
of the week to repair furnaces. This
can only mean two things. The
smelter people are getting ready to
start operation. or else only keeping
the property ia repairs. It is report
ed there is u consolidation of the
Ballakalla Blue Stone and the Mason

have been abroad for some time, and

put little confidence in them, yet the

Beach Copper Mine
Installs New Hoist

A very full and complete report OF
the operations of the Yefington
Mountain Copper Company on its
property near Schurz is rendered
this week, and very gratifying
showing is being made at the various
points in the mine where work is be-
ing pushed ahead.
OF course. progress has been com
paratively slow in the matter of ex-
tending the various working faces,
because OF the fact that all work has
been carried on by hand. To remedy
this and to speed up the work, the
company has purchased a l0xl2 Sull-
ivan compressor, which is now being
installed at the mine, its main pur-
pose being to rush the work along in
the Azurite drift. This drift attained
u further distance of % feet during
the week. and is now in distance Of
about 800 feet.
The favorable showings mentioned
last week as being visible IN Azurite
crosscnt No. sol continued, and the
srosscut is still advancing through
the good looking material previously
reported. The ledge, however, has
not yet been encountered. 1t Is es-
timated that the crosscut is in dis
lance of IS feet from the Azurite
drift.
Sinking operations continued in
winze No. 22l c, in the Levine tun-
tel, and the Wine is going down on
ore of very good grade, assays show
ing the ore to run about 3 to per
cent copper. A station is being cut
SO tlat sinking to greater depth
can more easily be accomplished. At
the present time the winze has been
sent down q distance of II feet, all
in the same good grade of ore.
The management is commencing
to slope in the old Beach workings,
and there is now available good
quantity OF ore that will average four
per cent copper. Arrangements
have been completed for the hauling
of the ore from the mines to the bins
at the Schurz sidings. and it Is re
ported that teams are already on
their way to the mine to get the first
shipment of ore, taking with them
some machinery that has been or
dered. 1t is confidently expected
that shipments will be made daily,
averaging at least 20 tons a day, aud
with the mine on q self sustaining
basis the aggressive development
work mapped out by the manage
ment will be prosecuted without cess
alton or interruption, providing, of
course, that no untoward happenings
eventuate. -Tonopah Miner
