Porterville, Cal, Sept. 3.-Many old
California gold mines, which produced
millions for the forty miners" and the
men who followed their trails, still are
to produce millions more, according
to mining engineers ofrthis section or
California. The pioneers, n engineers

the shallow pockets or surface veins
of high grade metal, leaving millions
Of dollars of gold ore under the old
workings.
Engineers point to Calaveras county
to prove their point. w. J.. 1Ortng, they
way. after inspecting several OF = oia
dTggings there, opened up one old
mine and found rich ore in the lower
depths. During the last twelve months
this old mine, 1t is said, produced over
s / ,0o0,0 900. Another instance was the
opening of the old Kelly-Rand silver
mine at R%Andsburg. According to re-
ports here, 1t has produced net earn
ings Of over 81, 600 during the last
fourteen months.
Following the announcement that
some Of the old Calaveras mines are
again producing, came word OF a rio
strike in some Of the old shafts in thu
famous Blue mountain district of Kerr
and Tularei counties, Engineers say on
old Blue mountain mine has produced
lore assaying as high as $4,000 per ton

merely : candidate the fact that he
Is the candidate OF = great party for
the highest office In the republic
places him In a somewhat differspt
standing from that occupied By the
ordinary private citizen. He becomes
the spokesman and the representative
o. several million people and the po-
tential chief magistrate, of the nation.
Obviously he should be treated with
respect.
"A committee Of the senate is now
at work investigating the subject Of
campaign expenditures. 1t Is necessary
for that committee to collect evidence
from every available source. 1t has
the right to compel the attendance of
and to examine them under
oath. During its sessions it has been
exercising that right. 1t has the right
TO compel tho attendance Of Governor
Cox In order that he may substantiatc
by direct testimony the grave charges
which he has brought against Repub-
lican campaign managers. Governor
Cox, however, does not wish to appear
before the committee, and the COM
mittee does not intend to subpoena
him If 1t can ohtain the information
which It desires to obtain without re-
course to that e%xpedient.
The dissemination OF tho committee
to force the attendance Of Governor
Cox is entirely in keeping with the
fitness of the occasion. That portion
of the campaign, which rests upon the
candidate himself is important and
exacting. Whether in making speech
Is or in other work. his time is fully
occupied with the duties of the cam
paign. He ought to have the utmost
freedom of action, and should be at
liberty to dispose OF his time as he
thinkslbest. His work ought not to be
interrupted nor complicated by the
mandates OF those who have no part
in the management of his campaign.
Nevertheless. there is a marked
Appropriateness in the course Of
Governor Cox .fn making charges in
person which he is unwilling
to support otherwise than by
proxy. II Mr.. Cox had in his posses
sion information substantiating the
charges which he has made, and
wished to make those charges public
ly and in person, his charges would
have had greater weight, and he
would have occupied a more difnified
position il he had asked permission to
present his proofs to the committee in
person. II he did not wish 10 do this
he would have created a much better
situation il he had arranged for the
publication OF the charges by some
other person. and the substaniation of
them before the committee by the
same person under oath.
As it Is, he has made charges which
he has not proven. and which he does
not intend to prove In person before
a competent body. Instead, he has
deputized another person to appear in
hip stead. in effect, claiming immunt-
" on the ground OF his candidacy
from the personal investigation of a
subject which he has used the prestige
Of his candidacy to exploit.
The testimony to be given by the
man who holds the proxy Of Mr.. Cox
may be useful and interesting, but
