HIGHLAND SURPRISE.
Milling Capacity of the Company Will
Soon Be Doubled.

The Highland Surprise mine on
Pine creek will practically double it's
milling capacity and as soon as the
improvements now under way are
completed about 80 more miners will
ibe put to work, according to w. W.
Papesh, president OF the corporation,
says the Kellogg News. An addition
al cell is to be added to the flotation
plant, the present small crushers and
rolls are being replaced by 40-inch
rolls and crushers double the former
size. This will give the mill capac-
ity of from $50 to IT'S tons daily. These
changes will be completed in about ten
days. A new house is under construc-
ton for the superintendent, P. f. Rog-
ers, and new office rooms are to be
provided. The quarters now used by
the superintendent will be made into
bunk houses for the 30 additional men.
The physical condition of the mine
shows an immense tonnage blocked
for length of $50 feet with vertical
depth of 440 feet. Stopping is now UNI
der way on this body which shows fine
ore ON both ends of the drift running
from 2h to 10 feet in width and car
rying IA per cent zinc, 8 per cent lead

agement will have little difficulty in

THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL VOTES
WERE CAST IN IDAHO.

The Miner is not impressed with the
possibility of changing the result of
the election in Idaho by recount, 1t
is probably true that the election
judges in many counties gave Alexan-
der many votes that properly be-
longed to Davis, hut current reports
usually exaggerates the number and
a recount would probably show it far
short of being sufficient to change the
result. But this paper has no doubt
that If the illegal votes cast could
be identified and thrown out, Davis
would be declared elected by major
ity running into the thousands. Re-
ports from almost every county in
the state indicate that the same sys-
tenn of swearing in voters on election
day prevailed just as it did in this
county. 1t is estimated that seven
or eight hundred votes were sworn in
here, and it is safe to say that rs per
cent OF them were cast for Alexander
and the democratic ticket. This as
sumption is based on the fact that
most of them were vouched for by men
who We're actively identified with the
democratic machine in this county.
There is hardly a doubt that rigid
investigation would unearth evidence !
that would warrant throwing out |
whole precincts and substantiate
a charge Of perjury against the men
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-11-23

.bo cast them and those who vouched

who cast them and those who vouched
for them.
But prosecutions for perjury will
not prevent repetition of illegal Vot-
ing so long as the present election
laws stand Instead of safeguarding
the ballot and insuring fair election,
lit makes illegal voting easy and plays
into the hands of those who have no
regard for the sanctity of the elective
franchise. Two years ago the Miner
called attention to the weakness of the
law not only in the matter of swear
ing in votes at the polls, but to that
feature of registration by which the
poll list is carried forward from year
to year, and which renders 1t unneces-
sary for electors to register for each
election. Under this system 1t Is easy
for one who has not acquired legal
residence to assume the name of
registered voter who has left the coun-
ty and have his vote recorded. 1t is
believed that this scheme was numer-
ously praeticed two years ago and in
the recent election and there is no
way to prevent it under the present
election law.
The only relief from the abuse of
the franchise which has now become so
notorious throughout the state is to
change the election law SO that every
voter must register for every election
and make it absolutely impossible for
| him to vote unless he is registered.
The registry books should be kept
open until the Saturday preceding ell
ection. Except in rare cases this would
permit every legal voter to exercise
his right, and give time to investigate
those who were suspected of being
illegally registered and prevent their
votes being cast.
But as the present law served to
/ place the democratic party in control
of all departments of the state gov
eminent, it is hardly to be expected
that the next legislature will change
it in any way that will jeopardize de-
mocratic control of the state.

ALAMEDA VS.. SUCCESS.
Supreme Court Reverses Decision OF
the Lower Court.

Yesterday the state supreme court
handed down a decision in the case of
the Alameda Mining company VS.. Sue
cess Mining company, in which the
decision of Judge Woods, of the dis
trict court, in favor of the Alameda
was reversed. The action was brought
to restrain the Success company from
entering upon and mining the ores OF
the Cardiff claim, owned by the plain
tiff to recover $4,000 for ore extract
ed and to quiet title to the Cardln
claim. The lower court decided for
the Alemeda and later /. E. Worstell
was appointed referee to take tes-
timony and fix the amount of damages.
He found damages to the amount OF
$500 in round figures, and his de-
cision was submitted to Judge Flynn
OF the Eighth district, for review In
the meantime appeal was taken by the
Success company to the supreme court
with the result as stated above. The
next step will probably be an appeal to
the United States court of appeals by
the Alameda and the case may eventu-
ally go to the United States supreme
court

LOG CABIN.
Preparation Completed for Work Dur
ina the Winter.

Four men are employed by the Log
Cabin Mining company, on the west
fork of Nine Mile, about 31s miles
from this city. A new building has
recently been completed 16xS2, which
will accommodate the employees in
comfort. A flume has been built and
water blast installed mining timbers
have been gotten out for the winter
and everything is in good shape for
work until spring. There are two
parallel veins passing through the
property and crosscut tunnel is be-
ing run which will intersect both of
them. The tunnel has been advanced
about 700 feet and numerous stringers
of galena have been encountered. One
of these was about foot wide, car
rying considerable ore in mineralized
ledge matter 1t Is believed from the
appearance of these stringers that the
first vein is near The hill is very
steep and depth is gained rapidly.

His financial ability has been con-
spIcuousIy demonstrated in saving
million dollars year to the people
of the state since he has been govern
or, and he belongs to a race which
largely dominates the financial affairs
of the country. Whatever doubt may
have existed as to his ability in this
line was dispelled by his modest ac-
count of his achievements during the
campaign just closed. We therefore
take great pleasure In proposing Moses
Alexander for secretary OF the treas
ury If the west is to be represented
in the cabinet, let us have a repres-
entative man.

BIG CREEK sREvITlEs.
Much Work Going On In This Pro-
missing Mining Section.

The Occur dAlene Empire Mining
company, which is controlled by Spo-
kane people has three men on its pro-
perty on the west fork of Big Creek.
A drift is being run on the ledge, and
interesting developments are expected
in about 200 feet when point will be
reached under a strong surface show
ing.
Two men went up to the Pawhatan
yesterday and it is expected that they
will be employed on the property all
winter The Pawhatan was quite ex-
tensively developed several years ago,
disclosing considerable ore. Joseph
Turner is the largest owner in the
company.
The contractors on the property OF
the Occur d'Alene Development com
pany have about IS feet to go to COM
plete their contract, and 1t Is under
stood that another contract viii be
Immediately awarded. The vein Is
being followed and stringers of galena
are occasionally encountered.
George Sparenberg is working on
the Bismarck, on the west fork of Big
creek. He is the sole owner of the pro-
perry and he is now engaged in show
ing up the vein by open cuts. Nego-
tiations are pending which may result
in financing the property to an extent
that will insure its development. Ihe
Hedge makes fine showing on the
surface.
The Big Creek Leasing company, OF
which d. w. Price, of Kellogg, is the
manager, is making regular shipments
of high grade silver ore. the COM
pany has the lower workings of the
Yankee Boy under lease.

IDAHO & LOS ANGELES.
Cold Weather lnterferes With Opera
tons for Few Days.

The unexpected cold weather last
week and the absence Of snow caused
the water that furnishes power for the
blower to freeze up, which made it
necessary to suspend work in the main
tunnel of the Idaho & Los Angeles
for few days. In addition to ex-
tending the main drift two men are
also driving a short crosscut to the
vein at point about $50 feet below,
where the prospect of finding the ore
shoot that was struck near the portal
of the upper tunnel is most favorable.
This crosscut should reach the vein
in about 80 or 60 feet. Manager John
W. Fink was down few days ago
ard reports the company in excellent
shape for the winter. Supplies of all
kind are on hand for six months, and
a large amount of mining timbers and
wood for fuel is piled up for conven-
lent use

IDAHO SHOULD BE REPRESENT
ED IN NEW CABINET.

Announcement comes from Wash
ington that President Wilson is deep
Ily grateful for the support given by
the west, and as evidence of his APP
probation he proposes to give the west
a liberal share of the patronage at
his disposal. In the distribution the
president recognizes the services of
the progressives, and they are to oc-
.cupy place of honor at the pie coun-
ter along with veteran democrats.
This shows considerate spirit on the
part of the president in keeping with
the disposition of one who has con-
secrated his life to the service of hui
manity, but it is not likely that it will
be received with enthusiastic approval
by the old line democrats who have
fought the battles of the party when
there was no patronage to pass
around.
1t is understood that there win be
several changes in the cabinet, and
the impression prevails that the places
to be vacated win be the secretary OF
the treasury, secretary of the navy,
attorney general, secretary of com
merce and possibly the secretary of
war, Idaho is normally republican
state, but Woodrow Wilson carried 1t
by a majority approximating $4,000
This performance is deserving of sub /
stantial recognition, and nothing short |
Of cabinet position should be con-
;idered, Judged by the standard that I
has been maintained in the persent
,abinet, Idaho has an abundance of
democratic material to meet the re-
luirements of any of the probable
'acancies. But the distinguished \
democrat who has been twice honored
W election as chief executive of the
tate stands out prominently as the
nan for secretary of the treasury.

FRAUDULENT VOTING EASY IN
IDAHO.
Boise Statesmanl

/ The people who did not vote twice
Hast week were the ones who were too
honest to try to cheat. The people
who did not swear in Illegal votes
We're the ones who were too conscien-
tious.
Those who wanted to vote twice, or
oftener, had every convenience offered
for doing so, and the swearing In of
Illegal voters was made so easy as to
positively invite fraud.
There is no disposition to intimate
that all or even the greater part of the
sworn in vote was fraudulent 1t was
not. For years the people had been
accustomed to registering up to with
in ten days of the election. Our new
and lax election laws now close the
registration books thirty days before
the time for balloting. Naturally
thousands upon thousands, not know
ing of the change, were too late to
register and had to be sworn in.
But that fact does not disprove the
evidence of widespread illegal voting.
There are nearly $50 precincts in the
state, and in practically every one Of
these from one-fourth to one third of
all votes cast were sworn in The
great bulk of these vouched for votes
were undoubtedly perfectly proper, but
an average of 10 illegal votes to each
precinct, a percentage so small as to
be lost sight of in most cases, would
make a difference of nearly 1900 in the
vote of the state, If there were only
twenty Illegal votes to each precinct
ii would make a difference of $4,000
votes, and might change the electoral
vote of Idaho,
Idaho no longer has an election law
or system worth the name Under our
present system the way is made easy
for those who are disposed to be dis
honest. Unofficial returns indicate
growth in the vote within the last
four years of about 100000 1t is a well |
Known fact that there has been no
growth in the popula- /
ion within that time and the conten-
ion that the deep interest in the cam
'aign brought out large stay at
rome vote will get no credence with
hose who remember the bitter fight
# 1912 when the three cornered con-
est for the presidency was on.
Returns from each precinct should
'e gone into carefully, and no discrep-
ncy should be dismissed on the ,
round that lit is only ten votes, any
ow," for ten Illegal votes from each
recinct in the state could easily null
gy the wishes of the voters on the {
ntire state ticket.

CALEDONIA MINES.
Report Yesterday That Indications
Most Favorable to Finding Ore.

REPORT yesterday nat iHdISd1'oHS
Most Favorable to Finding Ore.
While more or less ore has been
found on the 300 level of the Caledonia
Mines company the work has been
somewhat disappointing in not finding
q continuation of the ore found on
the 200 level. Much quartz and iron
similar to that which accompanies the
ore has been in evidence, and a re-
port from the property yesterday stat
ed that the showing was more favor
able than at any time. In recent
circular letter to the stockholders
Manager Rush j. White stated that
627 feet of drifting had been accom-
plished on this level and that the
ground was less disturbed and to that
extent was more satisfactory than
above. The indications are so favor
able that he felt justified in recon-
mending that the exploration work be
continued Incidentally he calls at
tention to the fact that the ore bodies
in that section are VIGOROUSLY hard
to follow even in some of the porduc-
ing mines.

HUGHES WAS DEFEATED BY THE
WESTERN PRoPREssiVEs.

In placing the blame for the defeat
of Hughes in California and Washing
ton, the progressives of those states
In effect admit that they abandoned
all pretense of principle and support
ed Wilson in a spirit of retaliation
because of the alleged offence of the
"standpat" republicans in those states
In ignoring them when Hughes visited
the coast and in the conduct of the
campaign. 1t is noticeable that the
criticisms are not directed toward Mr..
Hughes, but to the local managers OF
the campaign. Mr.. Hughes appears
to have been perfectly acceptable to
the discriminating progressives of
Washington and California, who have
been so vociferously proclaiming their
devotion to progressive reform and
to the principles of the party of Lin
coin. They credited Mr.. Hughes with
standing for those principles and Wed
with the so called standpatters in con-
demning the policies of woodrow Will
SON How, then, did it happen that
Hughes lost those strong republican
states, while at the same time the re-
publican candidates for senator, Miles
Poindexter and Hiram Johnson, stall
wart progressives, carried the same
states by overwhelming majorities
There can be but one explanation:
The so-called standpatters kept the
faith and voted for Hughes and the
progressive candidates for the senate,
Poindexter and Johnson; while the
progressives betrayed Hughes through
local pique and gave their support to
Wilson and the progressive candidates
for senator. In other words, all ele-
ments Of the republican party support
ed Poindexter and Johnson, while the
hated "standpatters" only supported
Hughes.
The same condition prevailed to a
less marked degree in other western
states which are normally republican
Posing as the chosen people to defend
progressive principles, standing at
Armageddon to battle for the Lord,
these progressive patriots abandoned
the leader Of the party to whom they
professed allegiance and gave their
support to the common enemy. Con-
domination of the standpatters of
Washington and California may, be
merited but 1t cannot justify the be-
trayal of Hughes by the progressives.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-11-23
ELIMINATE THE SOLID SOUTH
HUGHES HAD BIG MAJORITY.

Although President Wilson has been
selected and will serve another four
years In the White House, yet a study
Of the election returns will show that
Hughes received large majority of
the electoral votes In those states
where there was a real political con-
test. In eleven southern states, which
constitute the solid south, and which
have voted the democratic ticket with
out fail ever since the Civil war, there
are 1876 electoral votes. 1t would have
been perfectly safe ten years ago to
make a bet at the odds of 100 to / that
all those states would support the
democratic national candidate in 1916,
regardless of who that candidate
might be.
With such situation presented it
is absolutely true to say that there
was no political contest in those states.
THE total electoral vote in the country
is 531. Subtracting the 1875 electrical
votes in the south, we have 405 elect
oral votes from states in which there
was a contest between the republican
and democratic parties. In those
states Governor Hughes won 255 cleo
toral votes, and Woodrow Wilson $50.
The republican candidate went into
the campaign with a handicap of %
per cent. Every republican candidate
for the presidency has exactly the
same handicap. For all practical
purposes, we could as well abandon
the national election In the southern
states and count the electoral votes for
the democratic nominees without any
other formality. Neither the tariff
nor any foreign or domestic policies of
the administration, nor even the "he
kept us out of war; argument had any
influence whatever in the southern
states this year. The election in those
states was decided in advance of the
adoption of platforms or the nomin-
alton of candidates, In view of these
facts, Mr.. Wilson can hardly figure
his election an unqualified victory He
received about three eighths Of the ell
ectoral votes in the states where there
was a real political contest.
