To the average person the increase of u
few cents in the price of ton of coal may
not mean much, but to anyone who
knows coal statistics it means good deal.
The total annual output of anthracite is
between 40, 100000 and 100000 tons;
so that an increase of only ten cents ton
gives an additional profit of more than
$4,000 00 The recent advance will put
nearly eight million dollars extra into the
pockets of the mine owners and railroads.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM HALL, of the fifth
cavalry. advocates the use of the revolver
by mounted troops instead of the saber,
which, he says is useless as a weapon in
actual warfare. This has long been the
cry of Colonel Mosby, who considers the
saber a very pretty toy for dress parade,
but really detriment to trooper in close
combat. Colonel Moshy Rad this belief
as far back as the late civil war, when lie
directed his command to discard their
swords and rely on their reyolyers,

Mr.. Newlands said it was time for
the people of Nevada to think and
determine upon line of action to re-
generate the State. Had Nevada like

now depends upon the restoration of

He said its restoration must be
reached by legislation. There are
two channels in which to work-na-
tional and international Legislation.
We are told that national action is
wrong and international is right. To
accomplish the end in that latter way
an International Monetary Conference
has been called. The nations have
been invited to take part in this, and
upon England's action depends the
success of the silver cause. The Eng
lish is creditor nation and owns
money and money obligations five or
ten times greater than the money own

everything else the scarcity of money
increases it's value. The remonetiza-
ton of silver will cheaper money.

money, enter compact to decrease

For Supreme Judge,
G. HI. BELKAP,
Of Ormsby County.
Stand up for Nevada.

On Tuesday evening last, Hon.
Francis G.. Newlands addressed large
audience in Virginia City and during
the course of his speech drew the fol-
lowing vivid picture of the States
condition as it is now and would be in
the event Of further depression in
the price of silver. Read it and give
him your support at the ballot box:
In Esmeralda county two towns de-
pend on the mining industry alone.
In Candelaria there are $40 miners.
and only 40 employed, and their en-
ployment was a matter of humanity,
as the mines are worked at loss, ow-
ing to the low price of silver. Mine
owners around Hawthorne are idle,
apathetic and discouraged. Mason
Valley, in Lyon county, an agricultural
section, depends on the Comstock for
market. Dayton, the principle town
in the county, depends entirely on the
mining industry of the Comstock.
Storey county now has 1000 popu-
lation. But few men are employed in
the mines, which are not being work
ed at profit. Operations are alone
sustained by assessments upon stock
holders, owing to the low price of sill
yer. Where will mining be in this
section if silver goes to 7O2
Empire in Ormsby county is depend
emit upon the mining industry of the
Comstock, in milling the ore. Carson,
the capital of the State, derives it's
living from supplying the Comstock
with wood, and it's railroad and COM
mercial business depends on the Com
stock. Where will Ormsby be if the
mines here are forced to suspend opera

depends on Virginia for its market.
Reno, in Washoe county, is the COM

Mr.. Newlands said he had recently
been through Eastern Nevada, and he
drew vivid picture of the effect of
hostile legislation in that section. White
Pine, once populated by thousands of
miners, now employed but 100. Storey
may become like White Pine. Nye and
Lincoln counties each had but 400
voters. Elko was great stock raising
and mining county, it's prosperity was
based principally on mining. Tusca-
rora employs but 800 miners, and a
third of those will be laid off if the
present depressed price of silver con-
tinues. In Eureka and Lander the
same depression exists, and in Hum
boldt, where agriculture predominates,

What Free Coinage Is.

The Atlanta Constitution, one of
the leading papers of the South, puts
the whole question of free coinage in
a nutshell in the following brief ar
ticle:
The free unlimited coinage of silver
means that any owner of 500 worth
of silver bullion shall have the priv
ilege of taking it to any government
mint and having it coined into or ex-
changed for standard dollars of the
United States, or their equivalent in
legal tender currency at the rate of
81. 30 per ounce. This would settle
great many things. The legal tender
or mint value of silver would be its
market price, and the government
would no longer be in the market as
purchaser. The inevitable effect of
free coinage would be to restore to sill
yer bullion in this country the poten-
tial money value which it possessed
prior to 1873.
Those who oppose free coinage point
to the difference which now exists be-
tween the price Of silver and the price
of gold. It is that very difference
which enables the wheat and cotton of
India to beat down the price of those
products in America. With 20 cents
worth of American silver the British
business man can purchase a dollars
worth of Indian cotton. This settles
the price of the staple, and the South
ern farmers have to accept 20 cents
for dollars worth of cotton. But the
Indian producer can exchange his sill
yer for coins worth dollar for the rea-
son that India has free coinage, while
the American producer is left in the
ditch on account of the single gold
standard, and the British pocket has
80 cents profit.
1t is claimed that if this country
were to reopen the minis to silver we
would be deluged with European sill
yer. Their are several satisfactory re-
plies to this. In the first place there
Is no silver In Europe OF any account
except the legal tender silver which is
in daily use, and this could not be ship
ped to this country and recoined ex-
cept at tremendous loss. In the Sc
cond place, if it should be sent here it
would be coined into standard dollars,
which would enter into circulation, or
be stored in the banks, or be employ
ed in building up our industries.
There never can be plethora of gold
and silver currency in country such
as ours.
In the third place India, Mexico, and
other countries have free coinage and
they are not deluged by European sill
yer. When the monometallists explain
why this is SO, it will be time enough
to discuss their airy predictions with
some degree of seriousness.

Chicago will derive immense financial
benefits from the Worlds fair. and no
one can surely predict when nor why
the rapid growth OF the city should stop.
or even slacken. Real estate values are
steadily increasing, sales are numerous
and the speculative fever runs high.
There mu i, however, in all probability,
be q reaction from the real estate boom,
sooner or later. That reaction, lift does
not come before, will surely come soon
after the great fair. And yet Chicago
will not then cease to grow, nor will
business be dull. The city is already so
big that unless it should be swallowed
by an earthquake it must keep on grow
ing and spreading in spite OF all obsta-
cles.
meet Californians here quite often.
Some are here on flying trips, while
quite number, both from the northern
and southern portions of our state, are
established in Offices and engaged in
the laudable work of showing eastern
ers how they can better their conditions,
improve their health, and prolong their
lives. OF course this means that these
Californians are representing landed in
terests at home, and they find people
here more or less interested in at least
learning what they can concerning the
Golden state.
In subsequent letter may give you
come facts about the newspapers Of this
city, which, it may be said right here,
are among the most enterprising. pros
porous and able in the world. Probably
no city in this or any other country is
more completely and satisfactorily sup
piled with progressive and aggressive
daily papers than is Chicago.

THE RAILROADS.
LA CANADA VALLEY WANTS A
ROAD.
An Enthusiastic Meeting Recently Held
Overtures to the Terminal Company
Local Railroad Notes.

The railroad committee for La Canada
valley met in the office of Mr.. Win d.
Gould, in the city of Los Angeles, on
the 10Th of December, 1891, for the pur-
pose of permanent organization and
other business. Those present were
Edward Dunham, G. H. Macarthur, Jesse
Knight, Will d. Gould and J. H.
Shields. Edward Dunham was elected
permanent chairman and j. H. Shields
was elected permanent secretary. Will
ID. Gould moved that the map of the

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
The Visitors to the Exhibit Last Year
A Citrus Fair Suggested.

Superintendent Virgins of the cham
Der of commerce reports that the cham
ber entertained more visitors in 1891
than in any previous period of twelve
months. the visitors registers for 1891
were overhauled yesterday and they
chow, on an estimate of one out of every
five visitors registered, that 112,0OO per-
sons visited the exhibit at the chamber
durin the year. To this figure should
be added $1,000 people who saw the
citrus fair exhibit in Chicago under The
auspices of the chamber of commerce..
Yesterday over 400 persons, mainly
tourists from the east, visited the ex-
hibit. Among the donations received
yesterday was basket of peaches from
Henry Claussen of Cahuenga. An ex-
hibit of four varieties OF water lilies was
sent in from the same place by E. 7.
Stewart. From the East Whittier ranch
of A. L. Reed, yesterday, there were re-
| ceived three varieties of lemons, all
taken from trees 3 years old.
Chas. HI. Ward. the decorator for
Marshall Field & Co. of Chicago, made
the following suggestions relative to
decorations for the citrus fair:
The manner of treatment suggested is
as follows: Use three or at least two
shades in olive greens, giving strong
and weak-the tones of the leaves-the
lemon and orange colors and a little of
the cherry red and claret. These at first
may seem many colors, but in the man
ner of their treatment will be found
correct. The olives always to be used
as background. covering spaces where
masses of the fruits are to be displayed,
made up in radiated form, or draped
as festooned drapery. The orange and
lemon to be used where the fruits DO not
appear, say in festoons for the drapery
parts. but always limited.
The cherry and claret being compile
mentary to the olive would be used in
contrasts, say in large rosettes and other
forms, always fixed, not drared or in
festOons.
Where these shades and colors are
properly used, we know beautiful effects
will result by the method OF producing
contrasts; the fruits are strongly promi-
nent, while the olive greens are soft but
wonderfully refreshing. The cherry and
claret dashed here and there heighten
the effect, and i'll the whole yon have no
unnatural coloring. The result may be
attained by proper arrangementin spaces
where decorative forms may be intro
duced.
