A REPUBLICAN paper is never
up to standard unless extremely
inconsistent. For instance, the
Register of this city has been
telling it's readers for the past
year Or two that the populists
were defunet as a party; that
they had all been swallowed up
by the democrats. Last week,
however, it's editor took great
pains to show that the populists
we're strong in Barton county;
that they we're SO strong iR fact
that they would not join the
democrats to defeat the common
enemy. Of course, ''the wish
was father to the thought" both
formerly and now. But the
Register man must remember
that Barton county people will
ask: "When was he right-when
he said the pop party was dead,
or when he said it was alive and
Misunderstanding in a manner
that might insure republican
success.

South Africa may be the place
where England has invested her mil
lions and buried her soldiers, Alaska
the land of enormous gold possibil-
tiles, and Australia a vast mineral
reserve, but the fact remains that of
the five great mineral producing sec
tions of the earth, Nevada stands
second in total produc ton with a
record of 81, 389, 725, 600 of mineral
products. Let any nation, empire or
principality eclipse that record and
Tonopah is going to increase it.
This morning one of the many shots
that shake the town every shift tore
a hole into the future for Tonopah
1t was in the Tonopah Fraction Min
ing Company, whose property is in
the center of town and whose dumps
are piled high because houses are so
close around.
Somebody some time ago discov-
cred this piece ground 1t was an
INDICATED fraction on the hillside
which was lava wash and overflow.
1t was on the line of the Valley View
but across the gulch, and the skep-
teal laughed and said the Valley
View was stringer and the Mizpah
a blowout.
This fraction was taken up, stocked
and capitalized, and they commenced
to sink, Down they went, and the
hole apparently became smaller and
smaller as you pcered down into its
closing depths
They went 100 feet and were in lava
and conglomerate, but it was the
overflow and they found the red por-
phyry and finally came to the blue
porphyry of the same character as
that found at the 300 of the Mizpah.
They then came into watery string
ers of quartz and smaller veins. At
the depth of 237 feet they commenced
to cross-cut, aud this morning they
put in shot and opened up a great
ledge Other shots were put in that
tore holes in a mass of ore red with
ruby silver and black sulphurets.
The town, which has been on the
qui vive with hope, went wild. Men
were tearing around showing the ore
and congratulating the owners and
hands with themselves. The
ore is being assayed and runs into the
in silver and carries big
in gold
The Tonopah Fraction is one of
about sixteen properties owned by
outside companies and people who
are sinking in various places through
the lava overflow and Gaping. They
are all the way from half a mile to a
mile and half from the Mizpah but
on its main line.
One of the most promising prop
critics here is the Tonopah Consoli-
dated, owned by Cutting and others,
the principal owners and promoters
being l.. j. Joseph and Clyde jackson.
They are putting down double com
partment shaft on a direct line with
the famous Mizpah, and it is expected
they will cut through into ledge
most any time They have gone
through the same experience as the
Fraction Company. They have the
same porphyry with the iron spots
and are finding the little stringers of
quartz. They are now down 100 feet
and will cross cut at $50 and un-
doubtedly catch the Mizpah ledge.
The ore closely resembles that of
the famous Con. Virginia. 1t is not
known how wide the ore body is, as
they have not yet cut through it, 1t
assays as high as $500 and runs on
an average of over $3.50
1t means that Tonopah is another
Comstock and that it will be one of
the worlds famous mining camps.

Berlin, Feb. 22.-Andrew d. White,
ambassador, presiding last night at
an assemblage of 300 Americans who
celebrated Washingtons birthday,
said in an address:
"Sundry writer's on this side OF the
Atlantic have been especially eIo-
quent in denouncing the genral hatred
Of Germany and Germans which, they
insist, obtains in the United States
Much has been said of 'Deutschen
Hetze' German baiting) and this has
been placed in such luTid light that
one would almost believe that on the
appearance of one of our German
American fellow citizens upon the
streets of an American city, citizens
Of American birth were ready to cry
havoc and let loose on him the dogs
of war
1T has been my duty for five years
to read with considerable cOnscien-
tiOusneSs a number of foremost
American newspaper representing the
dominant thought in various parts of
the union, and | can most truthfully
say that | have failed to find the
slightest trace of such Deutschen
HetZe.' | did not discover anything
like hatred or a prosecuting spirC
toward German Americans on the
American continent. Even if there
we're no other reasons, the Americans
are too busy and too good natured for
amusement of that kind.
"On the other side it has been in
sisted by more or less well-meaning
people in the United States that a
dark cloud between the two coun-
tries really exists and that in times
of which ancient history makes men
ton and especially during the Span
ish war, the German government was
somewhat hostile to the United
States, or in some manner, which no.
body seems able to give with preci-
sion, the German government did
something which it ought not to have
done, and left undOne something
which it ought to have done To this,
answer has been made, if | may be
allowed here to refer to it, by myself,
as one competent to express an
opinion on the subject, that the con-
duct Of the German government
toward US during the Spanish war
was excellent. The German govern
ment observed strict neutrality and
showed no unfriendly spirit. From
first to last it never made any sug-
gestions or proposals that embar-
raised us in the slightest degree. In
fact, the conduct of the German gov
eminent was all we could desire it
to be.
Some self-cOnstituted guardians of
the welfare of the United States have
insisted, that if it was not the fmperi-
al government, it was the honored
and reTered sovereign of the empire
who spread this cloud over the rela-
lions of the two nations by promot-
ing, or ii not promoting by joining
in a league, to intervene to stop the
war.
con this account various people
have really made themselves very I'M
happy. Now, however, within a fort
night all this has been cleared away
and it has been shown beyond doubt
that the reyered and beloved sover- |
eign of this country refused to take
part in anything which could be con
strued as interference in the contest. |
and refused in such manner as to |
show he respected the motives and /
the feelings of the Amer /
lean government"
Ambassador White made reference
to the visit of Prince Henry to the
