TO BE BIG JOB.

Prescott, Ariz.. J0ne 7.-Within a
few weeks the United Verde Mining
company at Jerome will start its pro-
ject to steam shovel 100000 900 tons
Of rock off the side of a mountain in
order to expose great copper ore
bodies that have been burning for
years from their own sulphur content.
Assistant General Manager Robert Z.
Tally Jays the company's program will
provide Is years work, and that APP
p~foximately 100000 tons of rich
copper ore will be transported by
what are declared to be the most eco
nonnical mining methods kpown.
The United Verde intends to tear
down the overlap of one Of it's largest
ore bodies and with the waste dirt
and rock, build a platform far below
In the gulch: to accommodate a new
townsite that will adjoin the present
town Of Jerome.
One Of the provisions Of this oper-
alton is for a. full size baseball dia-
mond to be laid out entirely on built
land.
AS a result of the steam shovel
operations, large bodies of ore in
what are known as the fire stopes:'
will be exposed. Some Of these fire
areas have been burning for years;
the first n started in 1894 from the
heat developed In a cave-in. Since
occurred between the miners and the
glowing copper sulphides, and until
1905 when the ,amazing system of
blowing cool air into the 1900 degree
slopes was adopted, little success at
tended their efforts.
Water. steam and carbon dioxide
gas have all failed to smother fires
due to the broken character Of the
rock, which permitted air to get in
and feed the fires.

FRANK WRITE FOR SENATOR.

IN the interest surrounding the con-
tsst for state offices in North Dakota
this year the fact must % be over
looked that At the approaching pri-
mary there, Is to be chosen q candidate
for the United States senate to be
voted for In November,
OF the candidates who have filed for
this office there is one for whom any
citizen Of the state may vote without
question Or apology, and that man is
Colonel Frank White, of Valley City.
In a life in which there has been the
full share of public labor Colonel
White has acquitted himself honor
ably in the service of his state and ma
ton. and has well earned they COM
plete confidence which men should
have in the men whom they send to
represent them in the highest legisla-
tive body Of the nation.
As an officer in the National Guard
Frank White devoted himself to the
building up of a strong organization,
and he served with distinction in the
PHILIPPINES, where he held the rank Of
major. He served. as governor Of the
state for two terms, and in that posi-
ton he proved himself a capable and
conscientious official. His legislative
Recommendations INC his administra-
tive acts were Of a character which
demonstrated his interest in the well
fare of the state and his business
like grasp Of its affairs.
When the Great War came he ten
dered his services Immediately to the
government Of his country, and in that
war he acquitted himself as a soldier
should, returning to private life with
the respect and affection of the me
whom he had commanded and for
whose welfare he had been solici:ious
at all times,
Colonel White is a progressive man,
careful in forming his opinions, and
sturdy in maintaining them. His con-
tact with the events of the world war
has impressed him with a deep sense
Of the duty which our nation owes TO
ITS nelghbors. and OF the importance
OF undertaking the performance of
that duty in such a manner that the
proper development Of our own nation
shall not be hamPered or impeded.
Such a man will represent the state
in the United States senate in a man
ner which will reflect credit on its
people.

Dawn at the east window surprised
him. He stepped to the cabin door.
The square of moonlight upon the
floor was pale and sickly.e reat
shafts Of bronze thrust UP out Of the
east and dimmed the stars. A mist
lay along the river like a cloud that
had fallen from the sky and loved the
return.
1.-THE world wake up-his world: the
only world he knew. A~half sleepy
twitter here and there among the
trees; a croak down by the waters

and on the higher ground a triii now
and then of distilled witchery-he
knew them all, every. voice. A crow
and rasped the silence with his
raucous call. He q answered by

the bottoms. The woods lifted It's
thousand voices; a multitude snout-
ing, as at the coming of a hero. And
the hero was at hand. The gates of
dawn opened and he drove in. Bronze
south barred their heads; a soft
breeze crooned along over the trees
and blew u the morning star.
In the early light the Pearlhunter
searched the ground about the DOOR
step for any tracks that might have
been left by the night prowler. About
la cabin doorstep. though long I'M
used, there Is always an open space
beaten down so hard that neither
grass nor weeds take root. In the
hard and moldy open ground he
had only touched the ground once or
twice. He was struck by it's small
size. 1t was said by some that the
Red Mask had been a gentleman and
an artist before he took 70 the road.

It's just as fresh today as It was

Louie's late arrival meant something
else. 1t meant that there were no
other buyers on the ground. 1t was
not for nothing that the willy little
Jew was called king Solomon. He
probably knew the whereabouts Of
every other buyer on the river, n
knew that he was perfectly safe In
taking his time.
Not a jot of this missed the Pearl
hunter. But this was his day, not
louie Solomon's. He clanaped his
jaw down in the fve-thousand notch
and waited. Still, it wouldn't do to
let Louie Solomon find out that he
waited. He rose from the step and
went into the cabin.

STEAM ROLLER CHARGES

Senator Moses seems to have yielded
to a propensity for making extreme
statements in charging the use of
steam roller methods by the Repub-
Ncan national committee in passing
on the credentials Of persons claim
ing seats as delegates in next weeks
convention. The charges made by
MI. Moses were made on his own re-
\ sp%onsibility. and they have been\re-
pudiated by several of the most active
and prominent supporters Of General
Wood, whom Mr.. Moses also has sup
ported. If such methods as he
charges had been used it is not likely
that other men. at least equally en-
thusiastic with himself in support Of
General Wood. would fail to call at
tention to them, and to express resent
ment. that such methods had been
used.
Most Of the contests around which
controversy has ragged are from the
southern states where the Republic
can vote is always light. The south
has always been prolific in the matter
OF contests at Republican national
conventions, and it is quite natural
that it should be so. In states as
overwhelmingly Democratic as some
of the southern states are the profess
sional Republican is quite strongly
in evidence. There are In those states,
Of course. many who are Republicans
because Of convictions on matters Of
public policy, but where a party is
represented by only a small minority
there is apt to be a large proportion
Of those who affiliate themselves with
It solely for what they can get out
OF it. And men OF this type are not
apt to be scrupulous as to the methods
which they us to obtain what they
desire. Shady methods at precinct
prina and local conventions are to
be expected, and expectations in this
respect have usually been we'll full
filled.
Senator Moses charges that some
Of the improper cts Of which ne
complains were performed while
Chairman Hays was Conveniently
absent" Stated in that form such an
expression amounts to a charge that
the national chairman was a partici-
pant in the use of these improper
methods. and had withdrawn know
ing what was proposed, n for the
purpose of facilitating It without in
volving himself directly in it. ~That
Is a charge which no man has a, right
even to hint at unless he is prepared
to$prove it. All the facts of which
h public is cognizant concerning
Mr.. Hays make such charges incredi-
BILE. He has a reputation for straight
forwardness and fair dealing, and Mr..
Moses takes an understandable lib
erty in making such insinuations as
he has made unless he has proofs on
which to base them.

PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS-

1t Is not usual for q president Of
the United States to censure the work
OF an adjourning congressional ses-
sion as President Wilson has just done
IN his letter to the railway brother
o chiefs who wired him their pro-
test against adjournment before sew
era1 problems in which they are spe-
ctally interested were disposed Of.
h incident is unusual, but President
Wilson Is an unusual man, and the
conditions are out o. the ordinary.
Hence It 10 not<at all surprising to
read h statement which the presi-
dent has just made public.
Under other circumstances n
might read-the criticism with a rather
large measure Of sympathy. Con-
gress has failed to dispose Of a good
many important things, and as both
houses of congress are controlled bv
Republicans. the Republican party
must be prepared to shoulder its
share Of responsibility for whatever
commissions Or omissions there have
been. Come Of the legislation fails
short OF what could have been desired.
and on other mattersathere has been
sad neglect and waste Of time.
But IL MI. Wilson were 50 construct

It has failed to do.
Because OF his secretive ana die
