A BOOM IN NEVADA.
No Occupation More Useful or Hon
orable Than Mining.

The surveyor generals report of Ne
vada, according to the Western Min
ing World, shows that in the western
and southwestern portions of the state,
where formerly was the bulk of Ne
vada's silver and gold mining carried
on, is experiencing as much of a re-
viVal as elsewhere. In Esmerelda
county the Silver Star mines are pay
ing their owners a good profit, and
Silver Peak is proving to be a good
gold producing camp. The Big Indian
Marietta, Mt Granite and Hawthorne
districts the mines are all making a
good showing. The output for the
ste tie shows an increase over that of
1895 of $1121, 499, or a total for the year
past of $1,000, sos in gold and silver.
The increase is principally due to the
counties of Lincoln, Esmerelda and
Elko. This is substantial evidence of
renewed activity among the gold prop
critics and the best evidence in proof
Of the theory that Nevada can produce
gold if necessary. That mining is the
principal source of the present wealth
and Importance of the western and Pa
cific states no rejecting and candid
person can deny. That even now it is
the leading productive industry, vital
izing and stimulating all others, is
equally true. 1t gives to the world a
yearly bullion product of many mil
lion dollars, supplying the basis for a
sound, safe and certain currency, when
carried in accordance with the consti-
tuition of the government No bust
ness is more honorable, no industry
more useful than that of the miner.
but clear. and palpable as this may
be it has become fashionable in some
quarters to sheer at and condemn min
ing. Reposing securely in the wealth
of flocks, herds, lands, vineyards. or
chards, blocks in the city, government
and railroad bonds, certain narrow
headed gentry delight in denouncing
the very source of their wealth, with
out which they would have nothing.
Agriculture, commerce-in fact every
industry of the west was brought into
existence and nurtured by mining. The
truth is that if it were not for mining
the west today would be a bleak will

NEW WATERWORKS.
The Herald's Article on the Bench
Canal Creates General Interest.

The Herald'S Article on the Bencn
Canal Creates General Interest.
The prospect of a new system of
waterworks for Ogden to be owned by
the city is a very pleasing one to
Ogden citizens. Since the outline of
the plan to utilize the old bench canal
franchise as a basis for the new sys-
tenn, which appeared in The Herald
Saturday, the plan has been the sub
ject of much discussion. 1t is felt that
the present water rates are unneceS-
sarily high and justly or unjustly a
good deal of feeling exists against the
Bear River Irrigation & ogden Water
works company.
The Standard of yesterday morning
the facts given in The Herald of the
previous day and written in a vein de-
cidedly favorable to the scheme.
At the meeting of the stockholders
of the Bench canal to be held in the
Fourth ward amusement hall Feb 10,
there will undoubtedly be a large at
tendance. 1t is found that many of
the stockholders do not favor leasing
the surplus water to the city nor to
any other corporation. Now, that the
franchise has become of value they
favor putting in an independent sys-
tenn and supplying water at profit.
A peculiar question may be brought
out hereafter-a question as to whether
the water right can be sold irrespective
of the land Most authorities assert
that it can not be sold away from
the land but remains with it, the
transfer of the land including always
the transfer of the water right.
