% cd MAY MINING DEVELOPMENT ISSUE ~ ‘(i Thinking Out Loud Nevada City Nugget COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA x H. M. L. It will be recalled that Theodore Roosevelt, extremely optimistic regarding his place in the affections of the American people, formed the Progressive or ‘Bull iMoose”’ party, split the Republican party wide open, and permitted Woodrow Wilson, Democratic leader to_ be. elected President. Today a great many observers are ‘wondering if Roosevelt the Second is not about to repeat the blunder of his nedapeatelibas fifth cousin, pee, eyo dwt ie — z ae Franklin D. Roosevelt, may or may not be a candidate for a third term, There is nothing in the Constitution to prohibit him from doing so if he wishes, anymore than there is to prohibit him from appointing six or five, or fifty additional justices to the United States Supreme Court. If, when the moment arrives, the opportunist in the White House believes he may be re-elected, he will undoubtedly run. For so far as American traditions are concerned the President is an iconoclast; he will cast them aside if it suits his purpose. He would undoubtedly run on the Progressive or New Deal ticket if he decided ‘to run, for the Democratic party, we do not believe, would nominate him. He has offended too many of its leaders in Congress. His Supreme Court plan ‘has aroused the opposition, bitter in some cases, of nearly all national leaders of the Democratic party. As it looks now, he is likely to be defeated in _ his Supreme Court plan. The Judiciary committee of the Senate, preponderately Democratic, has voted against his plan 10 ta 8. In due time it will go to the floor of the Senate for de-. bate, and we believe that body will defeat it, despite the ‘‘heat’’ Postmaster General Farley, is turning on them through their constituencies. But whether the Supreme Court is given a face jlifting a la Roosevelt or not, the President loses. If he wins he increases the breach in the Democratic party which placed him in power. If he loses it will be after such a battle in his own party, that no balm poured on its wounds can heal them. z If the President is not a_ third term candidate to ‘succeed ‘himself, none doubts that he will undertake name his successor. In this event he will undoubtedly seek ‘to name a New Dealer rather than a simonpure DBemocrat, such as Clark of Missouri, Wheeler of Montana, or Byrd of Virginia. He will naturally geek to keep in power a regime that will carry forward his own policies. But the solid South is still largely unregenerate. It does not wish to be reformed ‘“‘now.”’ The doctrine of state rights, which had its extreme exemplification in causing the Civil War, is still cherished by the property owners of that Democratic stronghold. They, for instance, do not care to see their ‘‘uppity niggers’? voting under any circumstances. They may be voting the Democratic ticket, or for the ‘‘black’ Republicans, The solid South does not propose to take any chances with 3 New Deal for the “niggers.” Of course the pelf and patronage which the New Deal has lavished in the South has been gratefully received. Where formerly plantation owners were morally responsible for) at least the subsistence of the negro population, and° in general lived up to this age-old obligation, they would be less than human if they were not grateful for the benefactions bestowed under the New Deal, which. relieved them of t tremendous burden and distributed it ‘north, south, east and west. But nowhere in the United States it there more of that “‘rueged individualism” than in the South, and generally speaking the South looks with suspicion upon New. Deal efforts to eentralize all power in the Federal government. The responsible leadership of the Democratic party, likes. Roosevelt and his liberal (some: would say, radical) policies as little as do the Republicans. looking three years ahead into the misty political murk, it woulda seem as if history were about to repeat itself, with the Democratic party, taking the: role of the Old Guard that went down to defeat because of another impetuous.President. .

He stated that in the last twenty years no department of human life had been so changed for ‘tthe better through research and invention as had that of home making.

WORK BEGUN ON_BIGFILTER FOR PARK POOL Work was gael: Tuesday’ on a big filter for the swimming pool in Pioneers Park. The ground is being leveled at the south end of the terraces above the pool. The filter will be 24 feet square by 8 feet deep. The park board proposes to filter the water ‘which has been diverted from Little Deer Creek, raising it by means of a centrifugal pump from a sump near the lily pond, into the . filter. It is also hoped to recirculate . 7 the water through the filter after it . ” has flowed into the pool. This is ex: . pected to keep the water cry stal clear . ;at all times, é . Reports are that the Irelan mine; at Alleghany, with a rich past pro-. } . duction record is preparing to reopen . soon, \ Among mines which have begun or resumed activity during the past month are the Birchville, Republic and Jim mines,. near Graniteville, Treasure Box, Lady Bug and Red Ledge of Washington. The Bullion below Grass Valley is reported now employing 50 men. The Republic of Graniteville employs 25 miners. The Zeibright mine in Bear Valley now has a total of 125 men employed. In Nevada county the total number of employed miners is now approximately. 2,367, and the payroll is around $367,150 monthly. The mines that have resumed work in the vicinity of Graniteville and Washington. nearly all represent nef companies and new investors, Alleghany in Sierra county also shows a new peak of acticity. One or two big mining transactions in the Nevada City neighborhood are pending, which is they are concluded, may result in the employment of many more miners. Reports from the various mining properties in the county follow: RAINBOW EXTENSION PROPERTY W. Harlan is owner of the Rain-bow Extension propety near this city. It is located across Kanaka ereek across from 21 mine. New outfit has gone into the property in the last few days to do yearly assessment work, An attempt is being made to clear the road between Forest and ‘the Ruby mine and from the mine to Goodyears Bar of snow. Paul Smitn of Downieville who has been surveying for the Plumbago mine returned hove a few days ago. Graniteville ORIENTAL MINE Three shifts are employed in the ten stamp mill at the Oriental mine above Alleghany. Crews are drifting on the vein. Fourteen men are employed. Ray Hawkins of Alleghany and F. F. Cassidy, of the Alpha Stores in Nevada City, are interested in this mine. ALLEGHANY MINES While mines, that have been operating throughout the winter in the Alleghany district of Sierra county, are making steady progress. with new programs of development, several others properties are reopening and different groups are preparing for their annual: assessment work. The following notes are a partial list of interesting progress being made 'at this time. SIXTEEN-TO-ONE MINE A winze is being sunk on the 1600 foot level in the famous Sixteen-toOne mine at the southern city limits of Alleghany. The company employs between 80 and 90 men, practically the samé number having been employed there for many years. Clayton Bennett is superintendent. A ball mill on the property treats between 110 and 120 tons of ore per day. i KENTON MINE George Scribner is in charge of operations at the Kenton mine south east of Alleghany and has more than 30 men employed. It is stated plans are to start sinking the shaft in about six weeks. Otto Koopman. is mine foreman.
