Caused byNews of the Attack
 Upon the President.
MEETING TO BE HELD
Next Sunday Evening at 8 O'Clock in the First Congregational Church to DenOunce the Outrage and Express Sympathy.

News of the attempt to assassinate President Mckinley, on September in the Music hall of the Pan-A American Exposition at Buffalo, N. Y., was re- .ceived in Nome with feelings of the ,profoundest horror. The Seattle and San Francisco newspapers. containing tdetailed accounts of the dastardly deed ;and the condition of the president, were in demand and were read with an eager but sorrowful interest. On all sides were heard denunciations of the act .apd the man who perpetrated it, Leon .CzolgOsz.
 The dastardly manner in which the shots were fired shows a man utterly unfit to live. Czolgosz entered Music hall, where the president was holding .an informal reception, surrounded by his friends The assassin's hand held .a revolver, concealed by white hand kerchies wrapped around the hand. The president leaned forward to shake the hand of the would-be murderer, when shot rang out, quickly followed by second; the first struck the breast sbone, intiicting only.a flesh wound; the second struck the abdomen, passing clear through both walls of the stomach lodging in the back.
 The president sank into 8 chair while a thousand people crushed toward the assassin. Had it not been for the tremendous crowd, the villain s life would have been then and there stamped out. The crush of frantic men alone saved him. He was taken to prison, where he declared himself .an anarchist, but denied that he was connected with any anarchistic asso- citation or that the attempted assassin ation was the part of well-deiined plot.
 One report says that Czolsosz is a German Pole, % years of age; another says that he is American born, . native of Cleveland, o.
 Shortly after being wounded, Presi- dent Mckinley was taken to the Emergency hospital on the Pan- American Exposition grounds, where the bullet in the breast was extracted and the wounds dressed.
 The latest reports from Buffalo were to the effect that there was strong hope for the presidents recovery, but the critical stage had not been passed. The bullet which entered the stomach had not been located, but was causing no trouble.

SOME INTEREST
ING FIGURES.
Silver Mining a
Good Invest
ment.

Will silver mining pay is a ques-
ton often asked and it is to be ad-
mitted that valuable mining prop
critics are condemned simply be-
cause they are silver mines and
for lack of a satisfactory answer to
this important question. The pur-
pose of this article is to demon
strate that silver mining will pay
with the same economy now prac-
ticed in successful gold mining at
tending and with greater returns
on a like investment, notwithstand-
ing tie extremely low price of sill
yer.
In this county to-day are several
famous mines noted for their past
records as silver producers. They
ire now lying idle merely because
there is an existing prejudice
against silver mines in the minds
of capitalists, who, without due in
vestigation, have formed an i'm
preston that ia an enormous one
and one that facts and figures will
not substantiate. And it ia for
these same capitalists that this ar
ticle is particularly intended.
The silver mines above referred
to we're operated more than thirty
years ago when everything in the
mining and milling line were nee
e~ssarily very high, particularly 30
when compared with the ruling
prices of the present day. Silver,
however, was then worth from
$1.0O to $1.29 per ounce. This
made it possible for silver mines
to pay handsomely, regardless Of
the remoteness from civilization
and the high pr ices of the commo-
dities incident to their operation.
While silver was then worth in
the neighborhood of twice as much
as it is to-day, WI find more than a
counter balance in the fact that all
the commodities used in silver
mining and milling are procurable
to-day for less than one-half what
they we're thirty years ago. 1t is
self evident then that while the
price of silver produced now would
be one-half what it formerly was,
the relative cost of its production
is reduced more than one-half and
that if silver mining paid in times
past, which fact cannot be gain
said, hat those same mines will
pay to-day.
For the sake OF convincing the
more skeptical we will make a few
comparisons of the prices of the
principal commodities used in sill
yer mining then and now. These
figures are taken from authentic
records, furnished from reliable
sources and represent cost deliver
ed at the mines.
Powder, former price 35c per
pound, now l5c.
Fuse, former price, $3.50 per
hundred feet, now 85c.
Caps, former price $3.50 per
hundred, now 85c.
Candles, former price $3.50 per
box, now $3.50.
Picks, former price $3.50 each,
now 81.
Shovels, former price 81 each,
now 85c.
Hammers, former price $3.50
each, now 85c.
Pick and drill steel, former price
The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1901-11-14
25c per pound. now lie.


per ton, now $50.
Mine timbers, former price 1925
per thousand feet, now $35.
Blacksmith coal, former price
loo per pound, now 4c.
Water and air pipe are now pro-
durable at about twenty-five per
cent of their former cost.
The only item that has not been
correspondingly reduced is that of
miners wages. However, the old
scale of wages could well be main
tanned and the same mines pay
handsomely for with the modern
machinery the miner can do twice
the amount of work he formerly
did in the same time.
The machine drill in itself and
alone considered is convincing evil
dence of this last fact. Now we
will make a few comparisons of
the relative cost of the expenses in
connection with the milling of
silver ores. Assuming that these
ores would be subjected to the
same treatment, necessitating the
use of the same chemicals that
were used thirty years ago, which
is not the case by any means.
Simpler and less expensive meth
dds are being used at the present
day, the results of strides in the
science of metalurgy for the inter-
vening thirty years, which we will
not take into consideration, but
give the pessimist every advantage
and still prove that there is money
in the goods:
Quicksilver, former price at
mills, $125 per flask of 70 pounds,
now $50.
Bluestone, former price 25c per
pound, now &c.
Salt, of which a considerable
quantity was used, was gathered
in an impure state from the salt
marshes and fed to the mills with
out first being refined, increasing
the milling cost in this item since
the salt crust rarely contained
over 35 per cent of salt, to about
three times what it should have
been, not to speak Of the extra
cost of running through the mill
the IS per cent of waste contained
in this crude salt cake. This i'm
pure article cost $25 per ton, now
the pure rock salt is obtainable for
$40 per ton. Other chemicals of
minor importance are to be had at
about $40 per cent of their former
cost.
The cost of power, the principal
milling item, formerly about $1.5O
per horse power for every twenty
four hours can now be had for
about 40c. And the same power
in the same time will reduce more
ore than formerly on account of
the greater efficiency of modern
mills.
With the progress that is being
made in the use of hydrocarbons
as fuel for generating steam, the
cost of mill power will admit of a
much greater reduction than the
price named as the present cost.
On the whole the milling cost of
reducing ores would be less than
40 per cent of the former cost.
Everything considered, where
are the inducements greater for
the profitable investment of CAPT
tai than in the operation of our
silver mines? With mining re-
duced to the science that it is to-
day, silver mining must be profit
able. Cast off the prejudice which
surrounds you and consider the
bare facts as they present them
selves. Silver mining isproftable,
it will pay big and it is a gilt edge
investment. Investigate and you
will be convinced of the truth of
this assertion.-Tribune.

MSS STONE MAY Be KILLED.
Officials and Brissads Do Not Agree Upon
the Terms OF Surrender.

Sofia, Nov. l0.-Information has
been received here from Doubnitza
that the band of brigands holding
captive Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the
American missionary. called about a
fortnight ago at the village OF Smet-
chevo and subsequently proceeded to
the Monastery OF Rito, but the msve-
ment OF the troops compelled the
brigands to flee toward the frontier,
where they are now In hiding. 1t is
also asserted that the brigands have
recently been treating Miss Stone
with more severity In order to exer-
else pressure and to compel o more
ready acceptance OF their conditions.
Consul General Dickinson IL infiex-
ible. He insists that the surrender
OF Miss Stone must precede or be
simultaneous with the payment OF
the ransom. His attitude is justified
by the determination OF some men,
bers of the band, particularly the
captain, Yane Sandanski, to kill Miss
Stone and her companion as soon as
the ransom Is received, owing to the
fact that the captives have now ac-
quired information concerning his
secret committees.
Competent persons, however, ex-
press the opinion that the cupidity
OF the brigands will overcome their
fear of revelations and all such ap-
prove the declaration of Mr.. Dickin-
son.
Yesterday Mr.. Dickinson made en-
ergetic representations to the Bull
garian government against the
movements Of the Bulgarian troops,
reproducing the officials with the
fact that, Notwithstanding their
solemn promises to give him all as
sistance in their power, their action
was embarrassing the negotiations,
retarding n settlement, and placing
In jeopardy the life of Miss Stone.
He mede a definite declaration that
the Bulgarian government would he
held responsible for the death Of Miss
Stone and OF all the consequences OF
her death should it be proved that
the Bulgarian government forced the
brigands to kill their captives.
