Some Good Advice to Nevada
Land Owners

Hon. +. X. Shoemaker. who lee
tured on China in Carson last Friday
evening, gave the Nevada land owners
pointer that they will do we'll TO re
member and act upon He said:
~ speak adyisedly from a thorough
knowledge of the situation, when | say
that the Pacific Coast will in time out
strip the Atlantic seaboard in wealth
and advancement. / have lived in
China over twenty years and know
that the rice lands of China are exhaust
ed by reason of centuries OF cultivation
and the supply of rice, China's staple
food product, is failing every year. The
problem of how to feed the mouths Of
China IS millions is the serious question
in that land to-day. Ii Hung Chang,
the greatest statesman that China or
any other country has produced, is pre-
pairing to feed China with American
wheat. When the Chinese depend up
on bread instead of rice, TO sustain life
it will require more wheat than the
world now produces. II will cause such
demand for wheat that every avail
able acre of land on the Pacific Coast
and in the western States must be pres
sed into the service OF feeding China
and the Asiatic nations and the wealth
of the Orient will be poured into the lap
of the West. These changes will come
about in ten years or less | would say
to every man in this State who has an
acre of land TO hold onto il. Do not sell
it at any price and if you are too old to
work it, leave it as heritage TO your
children. y
Those words came as a revelation to
his audience. II ought to set the peo-
pie OF Nevada thinking. Nevada has
been able for years to take the first
premiums at the world 5 expositions for
her wheat With irrigation problems
solved Nevada can produce wheat by
the square mile. With no irrigation
whatever, millions of bushels of rye can
be raised in this State There is hardly
any land in Nevada that will not grow

will yield two crops without water, and
the second crop will reseed in the fall
and keep on indefinitely.
If California has to give up the bulk
of her land to wheat raising, as tn,
coming Oriental demand will compe
her to do, it will contract the acreag,
OF grazing land and reduce the butte
output. With this state Of affairs, Ne
yada, which produces the best butte

Ruby Valley Mines.

We clip the following from the Aus
tin Reyeille, which doubtless received
its Information from W II. Bray, who
m y be the expert referred to.
There is good deal Of excitement in
Ruby valley over big copper discov-
cry on the divide between Ruby and
Butte valleys. Mining experts have
visited that section and offered S3S, 600
for the locations owned by Kirk patrick,
Odgers and partner. These experts
agreed to haye whistles blowing ON the
mines within eight months II they got
the property. Kirk patrick and Odgers
have three men at work on their claims
and the Griswold brothers have three
men working on theirs. Nearly every
man in South Ruby was making loca

Liquid Air as an Explosive.

One OF the claims set up for liquid air
is its value as an explosive agent for
mining. An experiment is being made
with it in the Simplon tunnel which is
being cut through the Alps. The tun-
mel is being bored from both sides OF
the range toward a common center,
where the headings will meet. At one
heading liquid air is the explosive used
at the other blasting gelatine and gel
atine dynamite. The rock encountered
in both headings is very hard and the
shattering capacity OF the explosive
used depends upon the degree of sharp
ness of denotation combined with its
power. One thing has been discovered
already that initiates against the nse
of liquid air as an explosive, it cannot
be used for firing large number of
holes together, since a delay in firing at
once hole after charging with LIQUID
air explosive entails an amount of CYAN
Grafton that is fatal In an experiment
made in coal mine in Europe it was
found that prepared cartridges of liquid
air standing fifteen minutes lost all on
nearly all of their explosive power The
volatility of the liquid air is thus botf
its strength and its weakness. Som,
means must be discovered to prevent iti
evaporation until the moment it i
needed to do its work or else it can new
en- come into general use as an explosive
II 1t could be relied upon it would form
valuable agent in most mining oper
ations, particularly whore explosiy

BOUGHT BY THE SOUTHERN
PACIFIC.

The following interview with II. +.
Huntington, published in last Wednes-
days Examiner, corroborates the re-
ported purchase of the c. & c. Rail
road by the Southern Pacific, as pub
lished in our columns two weeks ago;
1.-THE Carson and Colorado railroad
has bee1 purchased in order to form a
cutoff overland line between southern
California and the east by the way of
Ogden, and also to develop the section
of the State tributary to II, - said III.
f. Huntington. ''The gap between
Keller and Mojave will be filed in.
From the northern end of the Carson
and Colorado a cutoff will be built to a
point on the Central Pacific east OF
Reno, probably Wadsworth. Grades
will be reduced as much as possible and
the line thoroughly ballasted. The ex-
pensively operated and time consuming
grades Of the Sierra Nevada mountains
will be avoided by this route. All grades
on the Central Pacific east of Wads-
worth will be reduced TO one per cent
We are making surveys in Nevada and
| Utah to see II the Central Pacific can
not be shortened by building one or
more cut offs. -

How tickle a goddess is Fortune. 1t
was scarcely two months ago that Sec
rotary OF State Hay was receiving the
plaudits of the country for securing to
American products the ''open door, in
China. Now he is being denounced for
his stupidity in falling an easy victim
TO English diplomacy in the matter of
the Nicaragua canal treaty. Some of
the strongest Administration papers
have been his severest critics. The
New York Sun says:
s'We may never want to fortify the
approaches to this American canal. We
may never need or care to plant sim
gle gun there. That is and ought to
remain our own business. But formal

fight at our own canal in defence of our
own interests, perhaps OF our national
existence, and TO become voluntarily a

selves-what language does the diplo.

cogency to characterize such a stupen.

SENATOR STEWART ON I'M
PERIALISM.

We wonder what some OF our anti-ex-
pansion contemporaries who supported
senator Stewart 50 strenuously in the
recent campaign. viii say of the speech
which he delivered in the Senate last
Friday in reply to Senator NJ Emery on
the Philippine question. VIII they
trim their sails at his command, or
throw him overheard as Jonah: The
Senator Is evidently not afraid OF '.im-
perialism''. smilitarism" and the other
political ghosts that these sheets have
been conjuring DIP out of thin air to
brighten the unthinkiug. We quote
below few paragraphs Of his speech,
which leave no doubt as to his position:
1.-THE suggestion that the acquisition
OF territory Is imperialism IS refuted by
the fact that neither Jefferson. Monroe,
Jackson, Polk, nor any OF their asso-
ciates are regarded as imperialists. The
Imperialism they advocated made
homes for patriotic, liberty-loving, self
respecting citizens, whose loyalty to the
Government OF the United States Is IN
surpassed By the people of any Of the
original thirteen States. II. to assist
the people OF the Philippines to estab-
llsh local self-government after the plan
adopted by Jefferson is Imperialism,
then Jefferson was the pioneer imper-
ialist of the United States. The Phil
ippines will never be dependent col
onies. They viii be allowed to conduct
their own affairs with such assistance as
may be necessary to help them estab-
lish self-government.
NO one pretends that the Fuipinos
are now hit for statehood, but | repu-
date the suggestion that they are not
fit for just such government as Jeifer-
son extended to the Louisiana purchase
and Monroe to the acquisition Of Flor
ida. There may not be enough Amer
leans in that country to organize state
government without Congressional or
executive action. as in the case of Cal
ifornia But II the same Congressional
and executive care that was extended
to all other acquisitions OF territory ex-
cept California are extended to the
Philippines, they will progress.
1--WE want very little legislation for
the Philippines. We want their lead
ers to come here and see how We gov
ern ourselves. TO enable them to do
likewise. The absurd charge that there
is any intention on the part OF the pres
emit Administration or the Republican
or the Democratic party to govern the
Philippines or any other territory
which we have acquired or may ac-
quire as colonies by the strong arm OF
the military power is entirely without
foundation.

DEPARTMENT OF MINES.

A new Cabinet officer, to be known as
the Secretary of Mines and Mining, Is
provided for in the bill favorably acted
upon last Monday by the House COM
mittee on mines and mining. The bill
creates an executive department which
shall have entire control of affairs re-
lating to mines, including the geologi-
cal survey. The proposed Secretary Of
Mines is to have the same rank and sal
airy as the other Cabinet officers, and
an assistant secretary is given the same
standing as the First Assistant Seere-
tary OF the Interior
The above measure has been demand
ed by the mining interests all over the
country and its ultimate passage is al
most certain. To give it practical val
ne, another bill has been introduced
and fayorabIy acted upon in the House
committee, providing for the establish
ment, in each OF the mining states of a
mining experiment station, similar to
the agricultural experiment stations
Each station viii be In charge of a gov
eminent geologist, with salary OF
$500 year, and an assayer at $500 n
year. These officers are to furnish as
says, issue public bulletins and conduct
explorations OF mining regions
The benefits to be derived from such
an experiment station In State like
Nevada are not hard to discern. In
the first place, it would afford to pros
pectors a safe and reliable place to
which they could send samples for free
assaying. 1t is impossible TO estimate
how many great mineral discoveries
may have been delayed or entirely over
looked because the man who picked up
the float or Clipped off the groupings
did not have the dollar to pay for an as
say. But the greatest benefit would be
the publication to the world of the min
eral resources OF the State, of which at
present there is the greatest ignorance
manifest, even in the mining centers OF
the country. The passage OF the above
bills will commence a new era in the
mining industry of this State.

TEN MONTHS OF I'M
PRISONMENT.
WM. BRUCE TELLS OF HIS Cap
TURE BY THE FILIPINOS.
His Subsequent Privations and
Escape.

Continued from last week.
BY this time it was growing almost
dusk, and when the excitement had
somewhat subsidized We laid down on the
floor to obtain. il possible, little rest,
as the first thing soldier must learn IS
to keep cool and obtain all the rest pos
sible under all circumstances. l had
fallen into troubled sleep when | was
awakened by the guard, who informed
us that supper was ready. | arose to
partake of the meal, which consisted
of two small rolls, two fried'eggs and a
glass OF water not a very large meal
for two men. but it was sufficient, as
hunger was not the predominating ele-
ment with US at thar time. On enquir-
ing of the guard what time it was, he
informed Us it was p. II. l again laid
down to rest and had fallen into a light
sleep when | was again awakened by
the guard who informed rs that they
had received orders for Us to march,
where. they did not nor would not tell
Us.
1t was then s:45 P. N. We were soon
taken to the street, which was by this
time deserted, and We're escorted by a
corporal and six soldiers to the Presi-
dencia. On arriving there the corporal
received a sealed letter and also verbal
orders. but as they were given in their
native language we could not tell what
they we're. In few minutes we again
received the order to march and a short
walk brought US to the suburbs Of the
town.
There was no moon shining and the
starlight was just sufficient TO make
phostly shadows through the over
hanging hamboos We had just made
turn and could family see a straight
level stretch of road before Us, when
suddenly the Corporal gave the com
mand 10 halt. The guards were all IN
our rear and at the command they stop
ped and began leading their guns.
Throwing a shell from the magazine Of
a Mauser makes a noise very much sim
liar to cooking a single shot rifle, and
on hearing this, my first thought was
that we were to be threacherously muir
dered. Wheeling around instantly. as
il | wanted to be shot in the breast il /
was to be shot at all. | then saw my
mistake and | can assure you that that
was one time | was glad to acknowledge
myself mistaken. | have heard many
noises but never anything that sounded
as clear, loud and distinct as those guns
that night.
After march of an hour we arrived
at Noveleta, another small town. Here
we changed guards and after stop Of
thirty minutes resumed the march, ar
irving at San Francisco De Malabou
about II clock. There they informed
Us we would remain until morning. We
were placed in a dungeon that was
damp and foul smelling, and were given
bench some nine or ten feet long for
bed. Il was a very poor substitute,
but as it was the only thing our cell
contained in the line of furniture, it was
use that or sleep on the wet floor We
had to make the best OF it, so we passed
the remainder Of the night alternately
strengthening out to rest our cramped
limbs

A man with the smallpox got OFF the
the train at I1lko last Wednesday night,
says the Independent. The authorities
took him in charge and constructed
temporary pest house where he is re-
eeieing careful attention. His name is
A. T.. Llewellen and he halls from
Snmpter, Oregon, whore there were
fourteen cases of smallpox in the pest
house when he left. He was first taken
sick at Terrace, but worked his way TO
Wells, whore the citizens bought him a
ticket and shipped him on to Elko.
Owing to his prompt isolation it Is not
likely that the disease viii spread.
