ABOUT MINES
AND MINERS
First and Second Hand News OF
An Important Nevada
Industry

Utah men are inspecting mines in
Galena district, Elko county, with a
view to purchase.
Grass Valley, CAL, prospectors claim
to have struck ore assaying in the
thousands near Pactolus, Nye county.
Reports from Galena are to the
effect that old Shannan mine is look
ing we'll and ore is being extracted
for shipment.
Superintendent Hopkins has 80 tons
of high grade ore extracted at the
Great Western mine near Steamboat,
says the Reno Journal.
The Ruth mine at Ely was recently
bonded to M. L. Requa, who will I'M
dertake to pay $3.50, 900 for it, and
with the assurances that the camp is
to have a railay, a greatly increased
amount of work will be prosecuted
during the year.
The Tonopah Gold Belt company
has been incorporated under the laws
of South Dakota, with a capitaliza-
ton of 1000, 900 shares at 81 each, one
half of which is placed in the treasury
to be sold for working capital. The
principal office is in San Francisco,
Frank l.. Talcott being the president.
1t is rumored that the starting of
the Reidler pumps on the 2150-foot
level station of the c.. &. c. shaft, will
be celebrated by a banquet at which
the invited guests will include about
fifty San Franciscans, prominent in
the mining industry. No date has as
yet been set for starting the pumps,
but is likely to occur the latter part
of the current month.-Report.
A letter from the east makes it APP
peal quite conclusive hat Whitney
Guggenheim interest in the Tonopah
mining company has been purchased
by a Philadelphia syndicate, led by
one of the heads of its most formid-
able enterprises. According to the adj
vices, the transfer to the syndicate,
which consisted of about 1900
shares, involved a cash payment of
81, 500, 900, the block going at a less
figure, of course, than one of smaller
proportions.
Owing to the developments of the
past few days in the Belle of Tono-
pah shaft which is now down 120 feet,
all eyes have been turned in the direc-
ton of this property. A ledge OF
quartz has peer uncovered at the shall
low depth of only 12O feet. This
ledge is now s inches wide and grad
ually increasing in size, carrying both
gold and silver values. This property
from the first has given more than
ordinary promise Bonanza.

racing; they extend to 1t every reason
able encouragement within their power,
Their aim is, In general. to develop the
Industry through promoting the sport
and popularizing the use of the machin-
es, both at home and abroad. The re-
suits would seem to justify Baron
Rothschilds contention; In 1900 the
value OF automobiles exported from
France was only sl,45o,o0o; during 1901
1t had increased to ss.sSs.Soo; and last
year it rose to $3.50, ,seo-practically an
advance Of 100 percent. Seventy con-
Germs in France are engaged in the
manufacture of automobiles and they
give employment TO fully 5000 hands.
If the workers engaged in making tires
and other auto" accessories are count
ed, the total s.umber of employees in the
French industry approximates $4,000,
The tire industry alone is Of great pro-
portions. One French firm put out IS,
100000 worth last year; and tires aggre-
eating in value several hundred thous-
and dollars passed through the hands
OF other smaller concerns. We may
easily go too far here in the United
States in discouraging auto" racing,
The wiser policy would be to regulate
it within reasonable lmits--and ''reas-

be stretched bit from the present
understanding of the word in certain
quarters, The horse is getting acqua-

Editor Independent: The littleness
of President Roosevelt and of his sec

trated than by their action in per-
hitting Lieutenant General Nelson A.
Miles to retire after forty-two years
of distinguished service to his coun
try without word of commentator.
1: is not necessary to recite the petty
prosecutions to which the high-mind
ed, patriotic soldier was for years
pursued by military clique headed
by the constitutional commander of
all men, and with shame. The presi-
dent and secretary professed, private
ly, indeed, to admire General Miles
record in the civil and Indian wars
but because, forsooth, he had not ap-
;'roved the un-American manner in
which they had conducted an un-
American war, they refused him public
credit for what they did appreciate.
To such lengths will pettiness in high
places go.
But, to the writer's mind, General
Miles civil and Indian war record
are by no means his only title to the
gratitude of his country. When he
had been denied the chief military
command, first in Cuba and afterward
liz the Philippines, to which his posi-
ton as commander of the army and
bis long practical experience justly
entitled him; when he had witnessed
the appalling slaughter unnecessarily
inflicted on the helpless Filipinos by
the American army, with peace unse-
cured and hatred engendered that gen.
erations would not eradicate. and
when he proposed to be allowed to
proceed to the Philippines and hold
friendly conferences with the leading
Filipinos in arms, with view to the
termination of the war without fur
ther bloodshed-a plan which had
been successfully carried out by him
with the American Indians. the pro-
Ject was too humane and promised too
well, after the comparative failure of
their own plans, for the war-loving
president and secretary of war to per-
nit it. But the people recognized in
General Miles the man before the SOL
Gier, and, taking the will for the deed,
they honored him accordingly.
