AN article is going the rounds of
the press about a San Francisco
capitalist who says bar silver will
sell for 80 cents an ounce before
next July. We think the capital
ist is off his base, but hope his
dream may come true. He is a
self-confessed Republican and that
is the reason we doubt him on any
silver prediction. However, he has
a very plausible reason for his be.
lief. He says the Republican party
realizes that it must do something
for silver If it desires to stay in
power, and also claims that steps
are now being taken to hold a mon
etary conference, and that the other
nations will agree to open their
minis to coin silver at the ratio of
% to 1, or possibly, 20 to l. There
is no doubt in the world that the
Republicans are getting shaky on
their financial policy, but it will
take more than the threadbare ar
guments about an international con-
ference or the decreasing of the
ratio to get Enough free coinage
men into the Republican ranks to
make that party win. These argu-
ments are played out. There may
be something in Mr.. Capitalists
statement that If this country keeps
Porto Rico and the Philippines we
will need all the silver money our
mines can produce to carry on the
increased amount 81 business that

BE HONEST! Now that some of
the papers threaten to have the
States population increased to two
hundred thousand and a number
of mining men are visiting our
State let us be honest with them
and not make any claims for our
resources which cannot be substan-
tiated. Many farmer has ruined
the sale of his apple crop by send
ing few barrels of apples to the
commission merchant with a fine
lot of apples on top and having
the merchant open the wrong end
of the barrel. Let US at least put
some fine apple at both ends of the
barrel so there will be no mistake
in the opening, anyway.

THE move that the press of the
State has on just now to boom
things reminds us of the boy who
whistled Yankee Doodle" going
through the burying-ground to keep
up his courage. We are not afraid
to state that just now, as a general
thing, times are harder in Nevada
than they ever were before since
she became a State. 1t is true that
in some localities there is slight
revival in business, and we are glad
to note this change. Our exchanges
are telling of gold mines, copper
mines, gypsum mines, nickel mines,
zinc mines, alfalfa mines, beet and
potatoe mines and all kinds of
things that can be found in Nevada,
and there is no josh about these
mines being here either, but to get
anybody to take hold of these prop
critics is different question. In the
first place transportation is great
drawback to our State. The next
thing is that those who seek to en-
gage in agricultural pursuits find
that the water supply is short. But
very few people in the State have
any money to invest in anything
outside of grub, and those who have
taken big wads of money out of the
State do not seem to be willing to
let a dollar of it get back. Since
the silver industry has been killed
the TIMES has advocated the build.
ing of beet-sugar factories, -four
mills, starch factories, diaries, and
everything that could in any pos
sible way be of advantage in putting
Nevada products into a condition
for consumption by Nevada people.
But it has been an uphill row to
hoe The greatest and most inn
portant thing for Nevada is to get
free coinage of silver; the next thing
is to get an irrigation system to
water our fertile vallies; and the
third proposition is to get another
line of road across this State. The
first two things accomplished, the
third will readily follow. And we
are afraid that until these three
things are accomplished there will
be no great prosperity in the State.
Here and there business may pick
up some from time to time, but
there will be no substantial adj
vancement of prosperity. And we
are no silurian, either.

Cotton Tested by Fire.
EXPERIMENTS AT LOWELL SHOW
ADVANTAGE OF AMERICAN
ROUNDLAP

The Rounl!ap bale of the American
Cotton Co., the Lowry bale of the Plan
ters' Compress Company, and an oldi-
nary square cotton bale were subjected
to a thorough-going fire test in Lowell,
Mass, June 9Th by the Associated Fac.
tory Mutual Fire Insurance Companies
of the United States, for the purpose of
determining the relative fire hazards
| of the several methods of baling cotton.
Two small frame houses, exactly
alike, and some distance apart had
| been erected OF a vacant plot and the
| space between them filled with boards
and cotton waste, over which ten gal
Ions Of coal oil were poured. In n
building eight American Roundup
bales and one square bale were stored.
In the other. eight Lowry bales and one
| square bale. The torch was applied
and the flames were permitted to burn
II hour before being extinguished.
1t was as hot a blaze as cotton could be
subjected to. There was no test of the
square bale, owing to the fact that
when the superstructures collapsed,
which they did Il few minutes after
being fred, one of the square bales fell
away from the flames aud then the
other was removed.
1t was evident and generally con-
coded that the American Roundlap bale
stood the test better than the Lowry
bale. Nearly all the wires on the Low
ry bales were burned off and the bales
elongated from their original length of
3 feet 8 inches to 6 feet and over. This
exposed the cotton in the Lowry bales
to the flames which were eating into
the bales at many points when the fire
was put out. Two of the Lowry bales
broke in 1.-TWO and were moro badly
burned than the others.
The American bales stood up spien-
didly under the severe ordeal. They
neither unrolled nor extended in length,
and only the outer sufaces exposed to
the intense flame were burned. This
latest test. was only another triumph
for the American Cotton Company's
Roundup bale.
The cotton saved from the fire will
be carefully picked over and the sal
wage reclaimed will he weighed.
1t was stated by underwriters present
at the Lowell fire test that, at "a secret
test recently made as to the ability of
the two different sly les Of round bales
to withstand the action Of water, after
being submerged for some time the
wires on the Lowry bales had burst and
none of the Lowry cotton was recov
cred from the test. The American
Company's bales came out intact and
wet only the exterior, which soon dried.
