is IT DEAD?

During the recent campaign in this !
State the Republican speakers and
the Republican newspapers repeatedly
asserted that the silver question is
dead and denied what the Silver-De- !
mocrats alleged, that if the elections |
in the several States were favorable |
to the Republicans, bill would be |
forced through Congress to coin the
coins. Now the election is over and
while it resulted in a reduced Repub-
licanmaiority in Congress, the gold
party still CONTROLS both Houses of the
National Legislature and it has sys-
tematically inagurated another cru
SADIE against silver, as the following
Associated Press dispatch shows:
| NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The finance
and currency committee of the New
York Chamber of Commerce made a
report today on feasible measure
to provide against tightness in the
money market. The report says in
part:
/ We must come right down to the
proposition that the only thing which
can be done to make our financial
system safe and sound and solid is to
get down to one legal tender, and that
is gold, and zen to bank upon a cur
rency circulation enlarged beyond the
present authorized issues Of national
banks and based upon the credit CT
the legitimate trade CT the country
and rigidly safesuarded under the
law.
Inc report suggests that banks be
permitted to retire their circula ton
at will; recommends that the coinage
of 81 100000 silver dollars per month
cease and that silver bullion and sill
yer dollars in the Treasury be coined
into subsidiary silver coins, and that
the Secretary of the Treasury be per
mitted to deposit coustOms receipts
as we'll as internal revenue receipts
in national banks. The report was
, adopted and the committee was di
rected by resolution to report that mat
ter in person to the President
: Does that not clearly indicate, even
| to the most obtuse Republican intel
lect, that the silver question is not
dead, but, on the contrary, a very
lively issue? The inevitable result Of
legislation such as the bankers o.
r New York recommend, will be to fur
. Their reduce the price of silver bullion
and close every silver mine in the in
ter-mountain States
: What have our Republican friends
n VINO pronounced the silver question
;, dead, and urged the voters of Nevad'
= to support the party that was admit
i tedly responsible for it's demise to sa
on the subject?

THF CLAIM JUMPER.

The season of the year is rapidly ap-
preaching when the pestiferous claim
jumper will begin to get in his work.
Claim-jumping and relocation can
hardly be classed in the same cate
CORY. although, in many instances,
the terms are about synonymous.
The claim-jumper, as a type, noses
around, and, on the slightest pretext,
will make a location upon a claim
which it is the desire of the owner to
maintain title to. 1t is often the case
that the claim is really open to To-
cation because of failure to comply
in every little particular, viii! the law
regulating the location and work to
be performed in the holding of the
same, but the jumper, paying no re-
gard to the amount of work performed
or the evident good faith of the To-
Gator, is willing to cloud his title, to
put him to a great deal Of expense
and trouble, and has no hesitancy in
putting up his monuments and cor
ner stakes, and posting his notice up
on ground to which he has no marital
right, even if the law gives him a
slight loophole in which to slip in.
Such man is menace to the mining
industry. He is, to a certain extent,
be driven out of every mining camp;
peaceably, if possible: by force if. nee
essary.
The man who holds down claim
year after year, by relocation, is a
hindrance to the growth and prosper
ity of any camp or district. He will
not work himself neither will he lei
other, if he can help it. He will no
make a showing of what he has got
and he asks the price of a mine fOl
an undeveloped prospect The first o
every year finds him busily engaged
in putting up new location notices up
on claims which he has neither the in
clination nor intention to develop. H
is drawback to the district and is
cousin if not a brother of the claim
jumper.
The Mining Review is pleased t
note that in certain portions of tn
west action is already being take
to thwart the claim jumper. In Be-
yer county, Utah, an organization ha
been formed, headed by leading mil
ing men and claim-holders, to def
with this class of gentry. If any al
caught in the act of jumping anothe
mans claim, he will be politely r
quested to pull down his stakes, mon
ments and notices. If he refuses,
sort of vigilance committe will prob
bly, wait upon him and run him out {
the camp Possibly with coat of t:
and feathers upon his back. At Ton
pah, Nevada, similar organizatie
has been formed, and it is the dete
mined intention of the best men
this bonanza camp to protect the me-
who has located vacant governme
GROUND in good faith.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1902-12-07

If more suca organizations were
formed ccw impetus would be given
the great ming industry of the west
and more confidence would be felt In
mining ventures and enterprises.
The mining districts Of this inter
mountain region must be purged OF
the claim jumper, and constant re-lO
cation of mining property should not
be tolerated They must go!
