Mineral Point Mines
Will Build 50-Ton Mill

At the invitation of ]. B. Scrim.
ger, Superintendent of the Minera
Point Mines Co., a representative
of the Bulletin last week visited the
mines of that company in Alum
Creek. about seven miles south Of
Hawthorne. This was the Bulletin
mans first visit to Alum Creek fol
several years, and he was much sur.
prised at the changes and improve.
ments now in evidence.
AT the entrance of the canyon little
town has been built, including several
pretty cottages, miners boarding
house to accommodate 20 men at a
meal, comfortable bunk house to
hold 20 men, blacksmith shop, assay
office, garage, etc.
A good road connects Alum creek
with the county road.
The Queen mine, one of the Min
eral Point Company's most attractive
holdings, shows good development
being opened with tunnels, drifts and
raises. At very close esti-
mate there is now blocked out at least
10000 tons of ore that assay tests
prove will mill better than $40 per
ton.
1t is the intention of the company
to build a 50-ton plant to work this
ore and ore from adjoining mines
The installation of diamond drills, to
prospect the company's holdings at
depth, is also contemplated.
When the mill is in operation it is
the intention of the company to lease
tn King claim, which has good ore
showings, to leasers, in order to supply
sufficient tonnage to keep the mill in
constant operation.
Mr.. Scrimger has had a large ex-
perience in practical mining, having
been very successful in the production
of copper during the war and the
production of precious metals in Mex
leo and California.
The milling and metallurgical
branch of the business will be under
the direction of A. J. Raggio, who has
has had large mining experience
throughout the mining states.
There is good flow of water in
Alum creek, but it cannot be used
either for irrigation or milling pur-
poses owing to its high content of
deleterious minerals. but Mr.. Scriniger
is confident that plenty Of water for
milling purposes can be secured by
sinking shallow wells in Alum creek
canyon.
The affairs of the company are
managed by Frank Marty, hotel pro-
prietor, VIM Long, restaurai'teur, and
George w. Bennett, all of San Fran
cisco.
Thore Lima, who is pioneer of
the Alum creek district, has number
of mining claims there, on which ex-
cellent showings of good grade ore
are exposed, and with the advent OF
real mining by the Mineral Point
Company, it is only question a
very short time before mining men
will be attracted by the Lima holdings

Rockland Will Start
(From the Yerington Times.)

J. w. Flannery, a San Francisco
capitalist, has concluded a deal where.
by number of San Francisco and
eastern capitalists have taken over the
famous old Rocklin mine in the Pine
Grove district, 20 miles south of Yer
ington. Mr.. Flannery spent several
days at the mine this week ard in
company with A. J. Thompson, who
has been superintendent of the proper
ty for the past several months, has
made thorough investigation of con-
,ditions.
According to Mr.. Thompson small
force of men will be put to work in
the development of ore bodies in the
mine on the 900 foot level immediate
ly and as soon as conditions permi'
the mill will be put in shape and be
operated to capacity. The greatest
handicap existing at present is the lack
of electric power, the line which
formerly furnished the camp having
been dismantled. A 100 horse power
gasoline engine has been ordered and
as soon as it arrives will serve to op-
crate the air compressor for use in
the mine.
Mr.. Flannery left yesterday for Can
ton, Ohio.
1t is believed by many people that
the reopening of the Rocklin mine
may mark an epoch in mining develop
ment in this district, and that the
other great properties will be started,
marking an era of unprecedented ac-
tivity i'll what is undoubtedly one of
the best mining sections in the west.
This belief is strengthened by the re-
cent visit with R. ]. Nesbitt, superin-
tendent of the Thompson smelter, of
A. J. Nesbit of New York, who at
that time announced that he would
again be in the district in September.

OUR SOUTHERN RACE PROBLEM.

Our ever-present race problem in the South also
begets questions innumerable Does the ignorant
negro with his living standard constitute the
sort Of handicap in the South that like proportion of
Chinese or japanese would constitute in California;" Does
the 'cheap labor" of the like that of the
Chnaman force down prices of all labor in the South
consequently depres prices of all the products Of
Southern labor including all farm crops? And
while this cheap labor competition of the negro beats
down wages profits and income for all Southerners who
work with their hands does it help the other classes of
society? Do merchants have smaller trade banks,
smaller deposits; professional smaller incomes etc,
all the essened incomes of the great masses
of population?
We have said, Educate negro and you spoil a hot
hand but would the South be helped if we should
spoil" half million negro hoe hands, them to
take places in public works and thus lessen
production of negro wages in cottons. If raise
the negros living standard, if make him want
homes and better living conditions will not that
the white mans higher standards from the
dangers of cheap labor competition We have taken
compulsory education for children, and
yet long children kept out of school and
in the fields does not their competition lower cotton
prices and help force white school children also
of the schoohouse and into the fields?
But while favoring all agencies for improving and
elevang the must not insist that the interests
of both will be promoted by encouraging members
of each live communities TO themselves and
thereby give concentrated support to their schools
churches and social life? We believe now, sale
last month that the important news is found IL
the almost popular discussion of issues sucl
these And it is the duty of every reader hell
work for their solution.-Progressive Farmer.

THE DYER BILL

The news that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill has
been reported favorably by the Senate Judiciary
Committee is indeed good tdings for the ears
It is an exceptionally good message to fifteen mil
lion black Americans who are eager to see the
Federal government step IN and take hand IN an
effort to put an end to Americas blacklist evil
lynching Mob rule must be stopped or the grow
ing danger of mob supremacy instead OF the law
threatens to become even more acute than 1T is at
this time Thirty lynchingS within period OF
six months, an ever growing tendency OF the mob
to take full sway to commit murder, crime and
violence is the undeniable state of affairs existing
in these United States of ours Deporable, indeed.
Now then we who are fighting for the passage
of the Dyer Bill must stick together. We owe 1t
to ourselves to make the bill as important in the
Senate as the Tariff Bill or any other legislation
holding the stage of the American public Ne
groes in every state should get behind their Sena-
tors and urge them to support the Dyer Bill. Here
in Minnesota let Senator Frank B. Kellogg under
stand that you will deny him your support unless
some favorable action on the bill is forthcoming
from him before the fall election. Let Senator
Knute Nelson, chairman of the Judiciary Commit
tee and one of the eight Republicans to cast his
vote in favor of reporting the BILL know that thus
far we appreciate his action on the bill and that
we shall expect him to continue to give the bill
his unanimous support.
Write them Today and tell them that you want
dar for debate and final action at once. Tell them
LYNCH LAW MUST GO AT ONCE.

JUST A BLACK MAN"
NV VIM. pickens for A. N. P.)

(By VIM. PickenS for A. n. P.)
We should praise fine quality in the Devil. And
that is no apology for praisng of the many fine
qualities in Robert Russa Moton for he has no re-
semblance whatever the Devil But he is good
example the whose superfne qualities are likely
to be sometimes discredted simply because somebody
disagrees with him about something else. All men who
attain any position above ordinary suffer this dis
advantage in some degree.
We like to talk about them when We can say fine
things about them. We hate to talk about them when
we can't We could talk much about DR.. Motion, for
we know him well and esteem his fine qualities One
of the best of these is what might call his GROUP
CO-CONSCIOUSNESS He feels that he is one of the
people whom he calls my people" He is desirous that
good is in him may be placed on the credit
side of his peoples account.
This is illustrated by his recent experience in the
streets of York City He reached out his strong
black arm and saved white woman from the danger
of being run by taxcab That is nothing strange
for black to do. Black arms always come TO the
rescue regardless color of the party needing help
But according the New York World, when this res
cuing black man was asked for his name by an OBJ
servant policeman wanted to report the deed with
due credit colored hero replied merely, without
giving his name: Just say Black man did it,
And the capitals not the Worlds, for there
have been capital feeling in the heart of Notion
Modest he he could not overlook the interesting
elements of this situation.
Yes "a black man did it." If it had been crime,
been necessary to request them to say
that it black man"
We have met a number of colored people who seemed
think it desirable be 1.-The only Negro-the first
and probably the ast) colored TO do so-andso
the "exception'-or the although scoored etc.
But r. r. Motion is lust black man" and we like
him for it, And recommend that We substitute for
1.-The only Negro "just a black man" And Motion is
right, for that act of is justkea black man
That the way black act The opposite action is
exception" We only wish that black women were
equally likely help, courtesy and protection
from the average white man.

Business League. was completing a

be the best meeting in the history of
the League" said Mr.. Holsey. While
here he inspected a number of the
business houses and expressed him.
self as being amazed at the wonder
full progress which Chicago has made
in the development of business and
suggested that the migration from the
South which had brought thousands
of people who were accustomed TO
dealing with colored merchants was to
some extent responsible for the un-
usual activity in business. Chicago is
planning TO send a delegation to the
League headed by local president
Frank L. Gillespie. Mr.. Holsey has
visited Arkansas Missouri, Indiana,

(ASSOclateQ Negro fTeSS)
st. Louis, Mo-, July 14.-By re-
cent ruling of the Supreme Court of
this state, Lincoln University will not
be able to avail itself of 100000
appropriation, because of the tricky
working of the bill originating in the
state senate and introduced by Sen
ator Blodgett of this city. The Blod-
gett bill was passed by both houses
in place of a bill introduced in the
House of Representatives by Repre-
sentative Walthall Moore, who fought
hard for legislation making Lincoln
Institute a university and appropria-
ting money for its maintenance. The
Blodgett bill provided that the mon
ey should be paid out of "any unap-
propriated portions of the public
school fund" The Supreme Court
declared this illegal because the Con-
stitution does not give the Legisla-
ture authority to appropriate money
out of the Public school fund, this
fund being open only to the public
schools Of the state and the Univer-
sity of Missouri. 1t is now possible
that the Constitutional Convention
now in session will correct this con-
dition.

CONDUCT IN PUBLIC

Conduct in public is something some of us must
have more regard for. Loud talking and bolster
Gus actions are not in place in public, yet some
Negroes are continually making themselves con-
spicuous by their improper conduct. If they could
but see themselves as others them possibly
they would have learned lesson in good behavior.
But as rule those who are at fault cannot will
not see themselves in their true colors
Good behavor-respectful conducts in it's
proper place anywhere and the responsibility of
good conduct, good manners is only matter of
self reliance.
