The American Smelling and Re-
fining Company's new plant at
Salt Lake City will be started up
about May 1st. The smelter has
cost more than 100000. The
president of the company, Simon
Guggenheim, is of the opinion
that the coming twelve months
will see a great Improvement in
the market price and the demand
for all metals. He says:
"The outlook for silver, | think,
has improved because the prospect
of passing The Philippine coinage
bill is good. The measure will
provide a new market for the metal
and will, l think, materially affect
the price. Just what price may
be reached l am not prepared to
say.
1.-THE lead situation is more
roseate. This is caused by the
prosperity all over the country.
The farmers are painting their
houses and that means the con-
sumption of an immense amount
of lead used in making white lead.
Then the great amount of con-
struction work which is being
done all over the country will re-
quire a corresponding amount of
lead pipe. l believe that the mar
ket for that metal will be much
improved

TERMS.

The development of Nevada is
the first thing that should receive
the consideration of all progress
sive citizens of this State. In pol
itics people should endeavor to
act in a way that will benefit the
State and not interfere with the
welfare of the Commonwealth.
The proposition for the reclama-
ton of the Arid West is n ques-
ton of the greatest vital import
ance to the people of Nevada. 1t
Is a grand undertaking, and one in
which u people are greatly inter
ested. President Roosevelt is a
very enthusiastic supporter of the
measure and has been in confer
ehce with the lending members of
Congress from the Far West and
indorses the Newlands measure as
the one hat will accomplish the
best results. 1t is folly to suppose
that prejudiced minds in this
State will give Newlands any credit
for the hard work he has perform
ed to secure the enactment into
law OF an irrigation measure that
means a great development of this
State. 1t is the progressive citi
zen, regardless of political afilia-
ton, that commends his work to-
day, aud it is the narrow-minded,
prejudiced partisan who fails to
see any good in the work thus far
accomplished, and it is a pity that
Nevada has such people living be-
meath her mountain peaks. 1t is
the duty of all progressive citizens
to work for the development of
this State, and when it comes to
sound practical common sense,
every farmer, merchant, mechanic,
the miners and laboring men of
Nevada ought to be able to COM
prehend what this grand irriga-
ton undertaking means to them
and ignore that Jones-Stewart po-
litical combination in Nevada that
has as its sole object the defeat of
a gentleman for Senator who is
working for the develop ment of
Nevada instead of keeping the
State from forging ahead as the
old non-progressive political pair
that have waltzed around Wash
ington as Senators from the State
have always DONE Ledger.

The Carson Appeal says that
"about a year ago several Reno
gentlemen went into the venture
of boring for oil. Carson was in
cidentally taken in to the scheme
as it was represented that a gush-
er was almost on top of the ground
and that a we'll would be sunk that
would result in dividends to the
lucky Carsonites who were let in
on the ground floor. Since the
cash was plunked up not a word
has been received by the Carson
share holders, and they would like
TO know where they In at, or
where the we'll is situated. Did
the cash go into the boring a hole
in tie ground or has it gone into
the Golfers of the promoters? AS a
number of representative Reno
business men are at the head of
the concern the Carsonites would
like to hear from them on the sub
ject."
We are satisfied that there are a
few of Battle Mountains citizens
who would very much like to learn
what has become of the money
several of them put into these well
boring concerns. They have heard
nothing in regard to their invest
meEts.

1t is supposed by many that

This however, is not SO, even al
lowing that, bulk for bulk, plati-

Of Interest to Teachers.

As the time for holding teachers
examinations is approaching and many
teachers holding professional certif-
Gates are somewhat at sea as to whether
or not the act OF May 81, 1901, adding
civil government and elementary alge-
bra TO the list OF studies in which an
applicant must be examined, interferes
with their certificates as teachers, the
following may be OF interest to teachers:
The act specifies that after the first
Monday In June, 1902, no teacher shall
receive from county, city or borough
superintendent certificate as teacher,
who has not fair knowledge of orthog-
raphy, English grammar, mental and
written arithmetic, history of the
United States, theory of teaching, civil
government, including state and local,
and elementary algebra.
The act does not annul permanent
certificates, nor valid professional certi-
ficates, now in possession of teachers.
Persons holding permanent certificates
can continue to teach the branches
named thereon without further examina-
tion, bnt neither civil government nor
elementary algebra can be added to
their certificates unless they pass the
required examination. Professional
certificates will be valid until the close
of the school year ending June, 1908.
After the first Monday in June, 1902,
no professional, permanent or provi-
sional certificate will be issued to per-
sons who fail to pass the required ex-
aminations in civil government and
elementary algebra. 1t will be seen
that teachers who are not qualified in
the two branches added by the new law
may continue to teach until June, 1908,
or another term.
Subsequent to that time, however,
they must have algebra and civil gov
ernment added before they can enter
upon their duties as public school teach
ers, for the law provides that after the
first Monday in June, 1902, no teacher
in the monwealth shall receive a
certificate who has not qualified in the
subjects above noted.

LOCAL STRIKE NOTES.

The employees of Jeddo shops and all
other skilled employees of Marke & Co.,
excepting engineers, fremen aud pump
men, we're ordered to suspend work on
Saturday evening. The order came
from the United Mine Workers and has
been obeyed.
AT the request of delegation from
the Freeland local the men employed at
Schwabe's colliery quit work on Satur-
day morning. Permission was given to
hoist the mined coal, after which the
plant shut down.
The exodus of mine workers and rail-
readers continues. The idle men are
scattering in every direction in search
OF employment. From reports sent
home the majority have succeeded in
obtaining work of some kind.
Black smoke from hundreds of chin
neys at every meal hour shows how
wood has supplanted coal for cooking
purposes in town.

CONVENTION
TO Be CALLED
Indications Favor Strike Of
Soft Coal Men.
Advocates of General Sus-
pension of Mining Expect
to Have a Majority in the
National Meeting.

IneTe is no longer mucn uouOt bDdt
the btuminous miners will be called out
In aid OF the anthracite miners OF this
state, and that in a short time an army
of nearly 5o0,0 900 underground workers
will be on strike. This is the informa-
ton given by Secretary George W. Hart
lein, of the Ninth district executive
board He said:
"To begin with, 100000 anthracite
miners will favor national tie-up.
Then there are 1000 soft coal miners
In West Virginia, many thousands in
Maryland and $4,000 In our own state
who have no agreement with operators
and would favor a strike. Michigan
miners will also give their vote to this
plan, and all these will be OF sufficient
strength to control the convention.
GAS regards the breaking Of the con-
tracts signed by Western Pennsylvania
miners with the operators, the resolu-
tion Of the national convention in Jan
uary supersedes these. Tho resolution
there passed unanimously gives the ma
tional executive board absolute author
ity to order a national suspension with
out calling a convention while the situa-
tion in the anthracite field renders this
move advisable. The western operators
knew OF this resolution when they
signed the contracts with their men.
The conven tion will be called In Indian
apois today, and the soft coal miners
will be called out"
President Mitchell left Wilkesbarre on
Saturday for Chicago. Before he re-
turns the call for national convention
is expected, at which 1t will be decided
whether the soft coal men shall join the
anthracite workers in a strike.
Mitchell would not say whether he
had received the fifth call for a conven-
tion, expected from the West Virginia
district, but it is understood that he has
had it for some days and that he is only
waiting to be certain that there is
no further hope of arbitration or con-
ciliatlon.
Among the other leaders the hope OF
arbitration or Of some move on the part
OF the operators for peace is still strong,
and there is well-defined rumor that
President Mitchell during his absence
will attend meeting at which peace
will be the theme.
He refused to say anything about his
plans except that he intends to visit
Chicago and indianapolis and return
to Wilkesbarre within five days.
The Wyoming valley coal companies
on Saturday laid off number of bosses
and small officials who refused to be-
come coal and iron policemen.
Pumpmen, engineers and fremen Of
colieries in the Schuylkll region held
affirmed their former declaration to go
out after June 2, unless they are ac-
corded concessions by the operators.
Many OF the companies are swearing in
special officers.
The engineers, firemen and pumpmen
employed by the Lehigh Coal and Naviga-
tion Company have been notified that
If they do not report for duty on June 2
they can consider themselves discharg-
ed, and will be given no more work in
the Panther Creek valley.
At a meeting Of pumpmen and engin-
eers at Shamokin last evening 1t was
