Thompson. This cleanup was the re-
suit of 20 days run of the mill on
the Sherman-Old Corporal mines, bet
ter known as the Fox properties, now
owned and operated by Holt & Wool

the plates alone and we were informed
by Mr.. Thompson that the concentrates
are also very rich and the tailings,
which are being saved for cyaniding,
contain $50 to the ton.
Cyanide for Fox Mine.
Ground is being cleared for the con-
struction of the cyanide plant. Fifty
men are employed at the mine and
mill, and the company wants 80 more
for underground and outside work. The
wages are SD day, with board and
lodging. The accommodations are good,
and the table shows no evidence of the
high cost of living.
I'VE were shown through both mine
and mill. The plates were stiff with
amalgam, and the cleanup for the days
run was better than $4,000. The mine is
opened. to depth of 1911 feet We
were in II Slopes, and the vein showed
a width of from two to eight. feet. AT
the breast of the lower drift it is
eight feet wide, and contains good
clean ore.
$4,000 Bond Given.
Chris Arnold. pioneer of the Mar

claims this week to Holt & Woolfork.
The consideration is said to have been
$4,000, and substantial cash payment

Sherman-Old Corporal mines The new
owners have begun development work.
Sam Gerber and Dan Roy are driv-

A Bill That Should be Defeated

The newspapers of the state,
both small and large, have CO.
operated finely, generously with
the medical leadership of the
state, for years past, in a cam
paign of education in sanitary
matters. If the medical author
tiles had given the newspapers
an opportunity of considering
the proprietary remedies bill
that they are now attempting to
whip through the legislature, it
is not at all probable that there
would ever have been a chance
for this bill. This uncandid course,
this elaborate strategy, whatever
merit it may have as strategy, or
generalship, is amazingly unfair,
and arbitrary, and autocratic.
1t has been suggested that the
main enterprise here is to find
revenue for the state board Of
health, at the expense of the
newspapers of the state. This
the Daily News is loath to credit;

Right if Paid For

The legislature supremacy
obliyious OF injustices more glar
ing and matters more urgent has
fooled away a week on the
momentous question Of the
election of school boards. We
think there was need for action
in this instance, but there was nc
need for the backing and filling,
the petty politics, the display OF
backwoods, prejudices in which
the House Of Representatives
INDUCED.
Sensible men would either
favor election of the school boards
by the people, which we prefer,
or their appointment by a State
Board of Education, to which we
are not strongly opposed. The
legislature has been striving to
adopt a system that would best
serve the interests, not alone of
the cause of education, but also
the divergent interests of Demo-
cratic party organizations in
counties of varing shades of
political compilations.
Bills have been introduced
ranging from worthless to
positively harmful. Bills have
been introduced seeking to per-
form in mysterious ways the
mighty feat of preventing hide
bound Republican counties from
obtaining control of their school
boards: a rank injustice which
some Democratic politicians
might approve, but which the
rank and file of Democracy will
not stand for. A bill has been
introduced which meets Supt.
.Joyner's views, planned solely
for greatest efficiency; another
bill has been introduced which
would throw the office of County
Superintendent of Schools into
the muck of county politics.
The best bill, introduced by
Representative Page, provides
for the popular election of all
county boards of education.
No bill, at this writing, has
been introduced which would
prevent the present unjust

The Only Line

I'VE are told Halifax is across the u s. line.
There is no line today-except the west side Of
the Rhine.'
That's the kind of stuff that is the chief ingre-
dent in the makeup Of City Attorney u. E. Har-
mon, head Of the Tacoma Home Guards and all
round right hand man of UNCLE Sam.
There's no insuperable line of demarcation be-
tween man and man for Harmon, except the line
between justice and injustice, between mercy
and barbarism, between right and wrong, loyalty
and treachery.
And he sees this line clearly, and his step is
sure.
1t is for this reason that City Attorney Har-
mon, leading his Home Guard organization, has
been among the first to catch the full meaning of
the cause for which Uncle Sam Is fighting, and
has become city leader with big vision of what
the future will hold for the world If Tacoma and
everyq man in 1t gives his full devotion.
cites Of humanity are strong and they are be-
coming stronger" said the city attorney, appeal
ing for aid for the Halifax sufferers.
Harmon and his Home Guards are working
with a solid punch to help break the line on the
west side of the Rhine, to bind the ties of human
ity with such knot that they never again can be
broken.
