Political harmony is not to be found in Indiana, where the Repub licans are troubled with insurgents and the Democrats with revolters. The astronomers, having missed some things in their calculations about the comet, are now wise about new spots on the sun. Science is not yet more inerrant than revelation. The churn drill is a great institu tion. When you make copper or oth er mining investments there is a point that you can well inquire about. It is as to whether churn drill de velopment and blocking out of ores can be successfully carried on in the camp in which you are invited to take hold. No copper camp with the backing In ore, such as has this camp, ever failed to make more mines than the first, second and third generation of discoverers forecasted. This camp will be no exception. Twenty-five years from now they will be telling about new and greater discoveries in the Ely district than before known. INCREASED RAILWAY RATES. Practical shape is being given to the fight which the National Associa tion of Manufacturers and Shippers Is making against the projected sweeping increase in railway freight rates. The plan of campaign for that organization is being marked out by the Executive Committee of the As sociated Shippers’ Publicity Bureau, which is now in session in Chicago. A few weeks ago the leading lines served notice on the Interstate Com merce Commission that they would advance their freight rates on June 1. The increase in the cost of labor and materials is given by the roads as the chief reason for the increase in rates, notwithstanding the fact that the regular returns of earnings continue to show gains over a year , ago, and in many cases over the big- j gest figures of the past. Naturally, the shippers are bring ing their side of the controversy to the attention of the public as well as to that of the Interstate Commerce Commission. E. E. Williamson, the chairman of the Shippers’ Publicity; Bureau, using figures that bring the record down to the end of March, 1910, points out that the roads in the aggregate are making a profit of over 70 cents on every train for every mile that it runs. He shows also that the net income of the roads per mile for 1907 exceeded the net .income for 1897 by $1534, an in crease of 345 per cent. The reason why 1907 is cited by the shippers in this connection is that it is on the earnings of that year that the roads base their demand for increased rates. Moreover, the net income of the roads for 1907 was $449,000,000. This was after the roads paid divi dends, interest on bonds and all oth er expenses. The average intelligent outsider will see that the shippers are mak ing a strong case against the roads, j Allowing for such increases In wages I and cost of materials as have taken 'place since 1907, it would seem that the roads ought to be able to make reasonable profits at the present scale. It must be borne in mind that the traffic of the roads is greater than it was in 1907, in which year the high-water mark of the past was reached. ' The tendency will natural ly be toward a continued gain in shipments, and thus in income. Just at this moment, when the public is complaining about the high cost of living, the proposed increase in freight rates, which would add to the cost, is unwelcome. In their fight against the increase the shippers have the people on their side. mmmm Hwi Electric Light* Hot and Gold Water NORTHERN HOTEL ELY, NEVADA Headquarters for Traveller I'uonc.

The cows a*e gentle enough, if one may judge by the picture of the cow's head In this cut, but the milkmaids are not of the “Where are you going my pretty maid?” style known to popular verse In the United States. When a woman goes to milk a cow in Norway she does not take any chance of having skirts spoiled by an overturned bucket, nor does she borrow father's, husband's or brother’s clothing. She has an outfit of her own that fits her snugly. And then this Norway milkmaid posed for her picture little thinking that it would come to the United States to be used by suffragists as a practical argument for up to date women's costumes. MINES AND MINING TODAY RESUMEj IIS SHIPMENTS Manager l). C. McDonald an nounced yesterday that he and ex Senator Thomas Kearns, David Keith, General Manager K. E. Wells, of the Salt Lake Koute, and Super intendent of Motive Power J. E. Dunn, of the Oregon Short Line, his associates in the ownership of the Success mine in the Duck Creek dis trict, had decided to ship nothing but high grade ore from the prop erty during the present summer. This decision was reached by the owners of the property last Sunday upon the occasion of the visit of Messrs. Kearns, Keith, Wells and Dunn to the property. In accordance with that decision, the hauling of ore from the mine to the loading platform near McGill will be resumed this morning by Ben Payne, who recently secured the con tract for that work. As soon as a carload of the rich stufT accumulates at the loading platform, which will be in a few days, it will be imme diately shipped to the Salt Lake mar ket. In explaining the decision of the company to ship nothing but high grade ore this summer, Manager McDonald stated that the low grade material from me mine will be stor ed until next spring when it Is plan ned to build a concentrating plant on the ground. The ores of the prop erty are easily concentrated and such a plant will enable the company to make a great saving in transporta tion expenses. NO HALT FOR REPAIRS. Silver King Coalition to Kee>p Entire Force at Work. SALT LAKE, June 1.—The Sliver Coalition Mines Co. will not reduce ! its forces while repairs are being made to the main working shaft. The shaft work will be done in sets, and during the daytime the shaft will be sent Into the work i Inga through the Alliance tunnel. Each set of the shaft will be retim bered during this time, and at night I the hoist will be used to raise some ore and waste. Two shifts are to be worked at night, as the company has decided to explose a large portion of its virgin ground. When the shaft is completed the forces will be doubled. A large out put will be made, and the develop ment force will push Into a large portion of the ground where It is known the ore bodies are. The Sil ver King has explored only about one-third of Its territory, from which ores have been taken which netted the company upward of $20000,000. Tly; Increased silver-lead produc tion from this mine will be welcom ed by the American Smelting & Re fining Co., which is treating the out put at the Murray pant. This smel ter has very little of this character of ore and is running Its furnaces at about one-half capacity in conse quence. ____________ “Tex" Hall, K. H. Hastle ami Lee Arris yesterday visited the Hall and Hastle properties in the Duck Creek district. Hall reports that his prop etyyy, the Minnesota, is In first class shape an<j that It will soon send a carload shipment of high grade lead silver ore to the Salt Lake market. Hastle has recently made several Important discoveries on his lease on the Mayflower ground and will begin its development on an exten sive scale In the near future. Arris amused himself w'hile at the Minne sota property by falling 12 feet down a ladder, sustaining a painful cut in his right arm. MIN KS OF <■<>M ON I» \ AltK TO HISI'MK WORK From a reliable source comes the news of the resumption of work on the properties of the Glasgow and Western Kxporation company at Gol conda. For some time the big re duction works and mineR at Gold Run Itasin have been closed, but now the company is preparing to start operations again. Joseph Far ren, the general superintendent, ar rived at Golconda Wednesday even ing from Salt I^ike City and Is ar ranging to start the big pump at the Adelaide mine to unwater the lower workings of the property which has been Idle since last No vember. As soon as the workings are drained of water a large force of miners will be put to work, says the Humbodt Star. Martin Iverson, who also arrived from Salt Lake City, Is to be super intendent of the Adelaide. This prop erty Is situated about twelve miles south of Golconda and Is connected with the big reduction works at that place, owned by the company, by n narrow gauge rullroad. The rail road, which was put out of commis sion by the flood of water a few months ago, Is being repaired and will be in running order in a short time. The Glasgow nnd Western Rx poration company, besides Its large milling plant nnd mines at Golccn da, owns valuable property at Cop per Basin, south of Hattie Mountain. Charles Malm, superintendent of the Copper Basin properties, Is also at Goleonda conferring with Mr. Fur ren. Goconda, which Is the center of u vast mining, agricultural and stock raising section, is moving right along in a substantial way. The present census Is said to give the place a population of 580 and the resump tion of operations by the Glasgow and Western Kxporatlon company will materially increase the number of people there. Both national Idols of both colors are making wonderful progress. Yes terday Jim Jeffries “slept until 8 o'clock” and Jack Johnson “ate slit squabs for dinner.”—Detroit Jour nal.
