Political Situation

The signs of the times point to
a most interesting political fight IN
Nevada this year. So many new
elements enter into the contest
that the politicians are all at sea-
The Republicans are confident
that they have the best OF the
changed conditions. The figures
of the past show that their forces
are increasing and that the oppo-
sition is losing 1t is demoraliz-
ing to any party, no matter what
its strength or how small the de-
lection, to be conscious that It's
forces are disintegrating. No one
can tell when a landslide may
start. On the other hand it is in
spiriting to the Republicans to
see new accessions to their ranks.
The Republicans have thrown
down their challenge to the OPP
position and have issued an adj.
dress to the people of this State.
They have set their State Conven-
ton for the 18th of August, at
Reno. This makes the campaign
begin nearly a month earlier than
in former years. The address Of
the Republicans shows that they
are much in earnest and will put
up a good fight. They have q
good show to elect a Congressman
and the Governor, and the Sena-
torial seat hangs in the balance.
The increase in population gives
much uncertainty. Last election
the State polled, in round mum
bers, ten thousand votes. 1t is
safe to estimate that it will poll at
least fifteen thousand this Fall
Tonopah claims that that camp
alone will add five thousand votes
to Nye county. This will elect
but one Assemblyman, but it will
cut considerable figure as to the
State ticket. The new railroads
through southern Nevada will add
a big vote to Lincoln and White
Pine counties. Washoe county
has also made a big gain, and nc
county in the State has lost since
last election. The railroad will
have several thousand men at
work this Fall, but only a few of
these will be voters. No one can
foresee the political complexion OF
this new vote. 1t may make the
State Republican.-Lovelock Tri-
bune.

The Eakeview, Oregon, Exam
liner, IN taking the people of that
State to task for their hardness in
opposing the land leasing bill, says:
Though many localities in other
counties in western States are tax
ing a deep interest in the leasing
question, and are preparing for
the conflict before Congress, we
have heard of only one locality in
Lake county that has even made a
move or protest against the in
iquitous law. 1t is probable that
no law will be passed on this great
public question at the present ses-
sion, owing to the vigorous oppo-
sition of the small stockmen of the
West, but if the proposed measure
should be passed it would be good
bye to the business of the small
stockraiser and to the other indus
tries which live from that business.
Take away the small stockmen
from Lake county and turn the
ranges over to the few wealthy cat
tie barons, and then-prepare to
move. You will have no business
here"
And what steps is Nevada TAX
ing to prevent such a state of
things occurring here?

TERMS
A Nevada Edition.

The last issue Of the Pacific
Coast Miner received at this office
comes very near being a Nevada
edition. There are several pages
of interesting facts regarding Ne
yada's mineral wealth, together
with numerous half-tone illustra-
tions. The work will be continued
until the State is represented.
Among other kind things said Of
Nevada is:
Probably no State in the Union
offers such practically unlimited
inducements to the prospector as
does Nevada. 1t is a well-known
fact that only a small portion of
the State has been invaded to ans
great extent by the prospector,
and there are hundreds of miles of
the finest mineral country on earth
that has scarcely been scratched
with a pick. The accidental dis
covery Of the Tonopah mines is a
striking example of what may be
in store for energetic prospectors
in the future. There is an unlim-
tied field of magnificent mineral
country in Nevada for him to work
upon.
Nevada is gradually acquiring
a firm grip on the attention of the
outside mining world, and the day
is past when she is to be reckoned
with as a minor candidate in the
marts where MISUNDERSTANDING
capital chooses its fields for opera
tions. Nevada is a giant in min
eral wealth and the mightiness of
her resources will and must pre-
vail over all obstacles set in the
pathway of development and pro-
gress.
A long era Of mining prosperity
seems to have surely dawned for
Nevada after a long period oharac-
terized by general depression, in-
dustrial stagnation and loss Of
population. The thrill of life
which has permeated the entire
west has reached the arid plains,
hills and mountains which
throughout this State abound so
richly in mineral wealth, and
everything points to splendid de-
velopment of these riches. The
Comstock lode has been rehabili-
tated and a long period OF conser-
v~ative, profitable and extensive
mining operations has fairly begun
on this wonderful lode. About
Carson and in various regions
along the western side of the State
new discoveries and rapid develop
ment are marking the progress of
the industry. Tonopah promises
to be one of the famous gold fields
of the world. In the southern
/
part of the State great amount of
money and energy is going into
new districts and increasing guam
titles of ore n coming out, while
the certainty of the early coming
of railroad facilities assures a
splendid future for that part of
the State. Eastern Nevada shares
with Utah the life and progress of
that section of the country. Some
of the features of the present con
dition of the industry are described
on other pages of this issue and
others will be described in future
issues. The "Sagebrush State
looms up triumphant.

Immediately commenced work.
At 8 O'Clock Superintendent Waters
and A. p. Carlton of the Denver &
Southwestern proceeded to interfere
with the work of grading. Mr.. Carl
tiona Bank and heavy stockholder

charge of the work. Every ore team
owned by the Colorado Trading and
Transfer Company, every express wa
gon and carriage that could be hired in

some time there were no less than twen-

COAL OPERATORS AND MINERS
MAY REACH AN AGREEMENT

prepared announcement from the
bench"
The move, one of the most import
ant in the whole history of the coal
strike. created mild sensation when
it became known. The surprise was
all the greater from the fact that num-
erous persons, from the President OF
the United States down, and many Or
ganizations, from the National Civic
Federation to the small boards of trade
of the small mining towns, had failed
to bring the two parties together. 1t
was all brought about by both sides
seeing that the proceedings before the
commission would be interminable and
in the intermingling of the lawyers
\ for both sides the outside agreement
proposition was broached and taken
up.
Wayne Macveagh, who carried on
such a brilliant cross-examination Of
President Mitchell, is given credit for
I bringing about the present situation.
He went to New York after he had
finished with Mr. Mitchell. and had
conference with certain persons con-
nected with the coal industry, among
them. it is rumored. ]. P. Morgan. He
was in New York to-day in connection
with the matter.
In order to give all parties an op-
portunity to confer on the state of af-
fairs an adjournment was taken until
tomorrow morning. 1t is probable
that suggestion for week or ten
days adjournment will be adopted.
All the large companies have not
yet assented to the proposed outside
agreement, but in all probability they
will consent to work as unit, as they
did during the strike.
