Especial to the sentinel.l

AUSTIN (Nev.), March 10.-A dispatch
from Lewis, Nevada. twelve miles from
Battle Mountain, gives the following
There has been trouble at the Starr and
Grove mine, at Lewis, since Feb. 1. The
mine managers notified the employees thai
after Feb. l the wages would be So per day
the men had been getting So 80. On Feb.
l, az men, members of the Miners Union,
struck for 81. Since then the Miners
Union refused to let outsiders work. Yes
terday, about 2 P. NJ, IS men, non-Union-
lists, started to the mine to work. They
were met by the Miners Union, who drove
the Constable and crowd back. After
wards, two Union men came to the mill
and were shot in a row there; also,
one man on the other side.
Three men we're injured: Tom Beasly,
shot in the leg Matt. Come, shot in the
arm Bill Edwards, fatally shot through
the body. Only twenty-one Union men
are now in Lewis. The Presidents Of the
Miners Unions at Austin and Battle Noun
tain have been telegraphed to for men,
arms and ammunition. Deputy Sheriff
Dunlap and DR.. ~Sponagle of Battle Noun
tain have gone to the scene of the trouble.

business Principles Ina Mining.
New York Mining News.

Complaint is heard in some quarters that
the so-called mining boom has ceased to
boom as loudly as it did a few months ago.
The fact is the so-called boom has doomed
itself u 1t was unhealthy while 1t lasted,
and now that ii has succumbed, We are in
q fair way to realize the fact that VIZ are
better off without it.
We contend that the mining industry
needs nc boom. Sensational revivals may
benefit spectators, may enable some few
worthless concerns undeservedly to share
in a general outburst Of prosperity, but
they cannot permanently tend to the well
fare OF mining as a legitimate industry.
Indeed. they rather injure it. The fever
ish excitement, once aroused, m to be
regarded as an essential element in pros
porous business, and when the inevitable
reaction sets in, we find that we have lost
more than we supposed we had gained.
To be regarded as the legitimate indus
try which 1t is, the mining business must
be conducted on legitimate business prin-
ciples. The business OF banking, OF dry
goods. and OF drugs are independent Of
" booms," and no one engaged in any Of
those branches Of commerce thinks Of be-
coming discouraged or of abandoning his
trade because 1t il devoid OF sensation.
Sensation is not a healthy element in trade
of any kind. 1t is certainly not essential
to trade success.
OF no business is it truer than OF the
mining business, hat II it cannot stand ON
its wi merits it cannot stand at all. We
know that the mining business can stand
on its own merits, and we, therefore depre-
the attempts to import into it the ele-
ment of s~ensatioualism. No man who has
the genuine welfare Of mining at heart can

SAN Francisco, March 10.-In the Kali
loch trial to-day evidence was taken as to
the sanity of the prisoner. DR.. Davis,
family physician, testified that the shoot
ing of his father, and the illness in his
own family, had thrown the accused into
a state of mind which might result in
insanity.
Tonight a remarkable feat in telegraph
Office. Through connection was made from
San Francisco to New York, a distance of
$3.50 miles and over. Three messages
were sent each way simultaneously, with
out a break in the line.
An EmbexzIer.
SAN Francisco, March 10.-Arthur S.
Chase. clerk for d. Callahan 4 Co., coffee
and spice dealers, 121 Front street, was ar
rested last night on a charge of embezzle-
ment. He has robbed his employers of a
considerable amount, which he has spent in
fast living. When arrested a dose of poison
was found on his person, which he said he
had intended to take if his peculations
were discovered. He is a young man of
family.
Oscar Babcock, a well to do farmer OF
Stanislaus county, who disappeared mys-
teriously last October, leaving his affairs all

that he wished to return home, out was
unable to do so, and had no knowledge as
to his W actions during his absence.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-There is some
comment on the fact that Senator Conk-
ling has not yet put in an appearance at
the White House. As he has not crossed
its threshold for over four years, 1t is sug-
gested that he may not know the way
there. When Senator Blaine went to the
White House with Garfield, on Inaugural
ton day, it was Just three years and seven
| months since he had visited the Presiden-
tial Mansion or held any communication
with its occupants.

We observe in a Nye county contem-
porary, says the Virginia Chronicle, a
sneer at Assemblyman Ernst from that
district for having only introduced one
bill during the session of the Legislature.
The sneer is undeserved. Nye county
sent the best delegation of any county in
the State ; Williams in the Senate, and
Ernst and Bell in the Assembly. Every
one OF them has proved himself an honest
man, and there was NO harder or more in
telligent worker in the Assembly than
Mr.. Ernst. The number of bills intro
duced by a member is no criterion by
which to judge of his usefulness to his
constituents.

WHAT MEXICO OWES.

The public debt of Mexico o mounts
10 1926, 900. 900. OF this amount the
Mexicans acknowledge only $685. 00, 900
of internal debt and about $50, 600, 900 of
foreign debt. The debt assumed by Max
;m;llian Of 1916, DOC, 900 has been repudi-
ated by the Mexican Government. 1t
will never be paid first, because it was
contracted by a usurper and secondly,
because Mexico has not the means to pay
it. During all the time that MAMMALIAN
was in Mexico there was a lawful Repub-
lican government, with Benito Juarez at
its head. 1t was compelled to change its
location often. But it finally succeeded
in driving out the Empire and effacing all
that had been done. The Diaz admins
tration was punctual in its payments of
each installment of the American claims
as it fell due, and the present Admins
tration appears to be equally s%oliciteus to
keep the faith. The fact is, Diaz is really
the power behind Gonzalez and the pres
ent Administration. If Mexico is only
to be held for the payment Of a public
debt of $65, 900, 600, the sun recognized
as valid, considering her immense re-
sources, she is not badly off, or would not
be with alarger development OF resources.
Now there is a very large amount OF
capital going to Mexico for the construc-
ton of railroads and for the development
of mines. Suppose Americans were to
introduce such a mining system as that
which prevailed on the Comstock Lode
we do not mean the speculative part, but
the machinery, and the plan of operation
by which mining could be carried on
proftably to the depth of $500 feet,
provided any ore was found? Now Mex
leo is additionally richer in gold and
silver mines, and particularly the latter,
than any other part of the known world.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, OF
abandoned mines in that country which
have not been worked to any great
depth. More dividends are to-day paid
by mines in Arizona than are paid in all
Nevada, including the Comstock Lode,
which to-day, in fact, has not a dividend
paying mine. Sonora is adjoining Ari-
IONA. The other rich mineral districts
are further along. With such a bullion
tax as Nevada has laid on the production
Of her mines, Mexico ought to be able to
pay her debts in the next ten years.
There is already an export bullion tax in
that country of Ia or Is per cent-a
larger tax than Nevada has ever laid on
production. The better class of miners
in Mexico have not complained much of
this tax, because they could sell exchange
to Mexican business houses at a premium
sufficiently high to make them whole.
But if mining production were to be in
creased in that country two or three
hundred per cent through American en-
terprise, and the export tax was retained,
it is easy to see that Mexico would have
the means of paying so much of her
public debt as is acknowledged to be
just, without feeling the burden.
