THE BLACK PINE MINES.

Mr.. s. ]. Rieben returned home a
few days ago after three weeks
visit to the mines near Elk City, in
company of 9. j. Moore, Mining en-
gineer of Seattle and II. IL. Salmon,
formerly secretary of the company,
who remained as manager at the
mine.
Mr.. III. b. Supplee, the former pres
ident and manager of the company,
died few months ago, just after
the company had been reorganized and
placed on a substantial financial basis.
The present officers of the company
are: 5. j. Rieben, president; Alfred
Adams Jr., vice president; VIM. H.
Kuich, treasurer; John J. Donnally,
i secretary.
I All are residents of Philadelphia,
the main office of the company, ex-
cept Mr.. Adams whose home is At
/ lantic city. The directors and prin-
cipal stockholders are active business
men and bankers, who can furnish all
needed funds. to bring the mine to q
paying basis.
The directors have adopted wise
and only successful method by devot-
ing all attention to the development
of the ore bodies before any milling
is done.
The company really owns three dis
tinctive groups of mining claims each
being mine in itself, but for the
present most of the development work
is to be confined to the Black Pine
group. Here fifty foot winze has
been started In the upper tunnel on a
high grade ore chute exposed on the
surface and in the tunnel, which winze
Is now "a feet deep in feet ore that
safely averages $1,000 in gold per ton
If this ore holds out to the proposed
so feet depth, then crossed tunnel
175 feet below present tunnel, will be
driven to tap the above ore chute.
After good tonnage of this excel
lent ore has been blocked out, then the
actual mining and milling of this ore
body will be undertaken, the proceeds
in part to be used to develop the ore
bodies already In sight on the other
two groups.
The property has a ten stamp mil
building, with five stamps installed
operated by water power
Ultimately the milling capacity will
be increased to the requirements OF
treating all the ores as furnished b,
the entire property, which eventually
will be of large daily tonnage
All buildings and improvements on tn,
property are of substantial construc
ton.
Nothing but the very best results
may be expected since the financer
and management are in safe and con
servatiye hands and with the sole am
bition of its officers to make the Blacl
Pine Mining Company a throughly sue
cessful enterprise.

the oAININ RAILROAD EARN.
IN0S

The net revenue of Eastern rail-
roads for January was almost
double that Of the same month
In 1915. The Southern roads showed
q gain Of almost so per cent, while
the Western lines showed a much
less increase.
Industrial activity in the East,
largely representing direct contribu-
ton to the war requirements of Eu-
rope, provides an obvious explana-
tion of the immense gains in that
quarter. A different explanation
must be sought for the big improve
ment Of conditions in the Southern
territory, and it doubtless consists
IN the general betterment of bust
ness Of domestic character. Cotton
Is moving, which a year ago was
not. Business as a whole was pros
trated worse in the South, in the
early months of the war, than any
where else; so the improvement in
that quarter represents rehabilita-
ton, with extraordinary war orders
contributing little to it.
The Western roads show a much
less increase than the Eastern and
Southern. This is probably ex-
& planned by the fact that in January,
1915, the grain crops were being
rushed to the seaboard for export,
thus making tonnage heavy in the
grain country; while at the same
time the great tonnage crop of the
South was hardly moving at all.
The increase of about II, per cent
on the Western roads, considering
these conditions, must be regarded
as highly satisfactory.
In the Southwestern territory
the roads make the poorest show
ing; and this is attributed to con-
siderable extent to the Mexican i'm
broglio, interfering with business in
that quarter.

CITIZENSHIP PREPAREDNESS

A work which, il pursued to the
end, ought to bring very good results
is the national campaign which was
begun in 1914 by the United States
Bureau of Naturalization for CO.
operation with the public ichools
throughout the country in the edu-
cation of alien candidates for citi-
zenship. r. .H,.
In New York the Naturalization
Bureau has sent to the superintend-
ent in charge of the night schools
more than $4,000 names of such
aliens. In the night classes there are
now 29,938 foreigners, of whom APP
proximately 80 per cent are non
citizens. There is a long way to go,
therefore, before the city's foreign
population gets the advantage of this
citizenship preparedness; for if there
are only some $4,000 non-citizens in
the night classes, while the Natur-
alization Bureau has reported some
$4,000 names to the superintendent
of the night schools, the bureau is
authority for the statement that
there are living in the city some
100000 foreigners unable to speak
the English language.
Just when this campaign Of citi-
zenship preparedness is getting into
swing the work in the night classes
is to be suspended-at the end of
this month-because of lack of
funds. But even if public funds are
not available it ought to be possible
to continue this work, as suggested
by the Bureau of Naturalization
with volunteers enlisted to give the
instruction.
This task of fitting our alien popu.
lation for citizenship before they be,
come citizens is of such importance
to them, to the communities in which
they live, and to the whole nation
that no lack of funds should be per.
mitted to discontinue the work. The
necessary amount ought to be pro.
vided somehow. Failing the city
treasury, private contributions ought
to supply the funds.

BORAH SAYS HE'S NOT
IN PRESIDENTIAL RACE
But He Gives Atlanta Republicans
Advice About Delegates.

In letter to Republican club at
Atlanta. Senator Borah says he Is not
a candidate for the Republican nomins-
ton for President. and does not expect
to be.
At the same time, he gives some ad-
vice about selecting delegates to the
national convention He warns that the
old cerrupt methods must be dropped,
and says In part:
The Republicans have not held a
more important convention for many
years than this one will be in 1916. and
delegates ought to be selected who will
bear In mind that the action of this
convention may determine very largely
not only the question OF success or
failure at the next election, but the
question OF the future usefulness Of the
Republican party itself.
The South has long labored under the
charge that the delegates from that
portion OF the country are selected With
out much regard to anything other than
that OF securing patronage.
1T Is up to the South to get free of
this charge. 1t can only do so by select
ing delegates whose standing and char
acter will be refutation OF this in
1T ought to be pretty well under
stood and pretty we'll accepted bv this
time that the Republican party will
never again submit to some OF the
practices which have dishonored and
dlssraced its handling OF delegates in
