POCKETING THE MONEY.
White Pine News Alludes to Mine
Swindlers Operating at Ely.

The White Pine News, after copying
recent article in the Reno Gazette up
on the subject of swindling mining con-
Germs, comments upon the same subject
as follows:
Unless the fiscal agent in charge OF
the promotion of some mining property
in this camp should change their pres
ent method of mining on paper and en-.
gaging in such wholesale exaggerations
of the true merits of the property in
their command, and also cease to apply
the money raised from the sale of stock
for private and personal benefit instead
of appropriating it for legitimate work
on the mines. there will be something
doing here to expose their corrupt
methods, and the Reno Chamber of
Commerce will in all probability be
asked to take hand in the game.
1t is regrettable to note the amount
of injury done legitimate mining in this
section by the exaggerated statements
being published by these sharps and Cir.
culated over the country concerning the
developments of the mines, building of
mills, smelters, etc., when such fraudu-
lent procedure is carried ION against the
wishes and good judgment of the mine
owners and managers. Such rank
course of advertising the majority of
our mines is absolutely unjustifiable
and unnecessary. If half of the money
spent by these fakes in advertising al
Turing accounts Of what was-not-be-
ing done at the mines were put into
them for actual development work the
result would be that capital would be
seeking investment in them instead Of
now being sought for.
Fortunately some of our best mining
companies are going steadily on with
good legitimate development work with
out making great fuss about it and
telling the world, through lot of
sharps, that they have put one man to
work. These companies will soon an
nounce to the public in unmistakable
terms the value of their mines by the
production of bullion.

been in Reno for day or two awaiting

New Method of Mine Ventilation.

The Pennsylvania Mining Company.
at Grass Valley CAL, is installing new
system of ventilation in its property.
Several hundred feet of terra-cotta pipe,
two feet in diameter, will be placed in a
raise extended to the surface from that
part of the mine most in need of ven-
tilation. The piping will act as a
chimney for drawing off the foul air
and gases from the underground work
ings.

Oh, l am jolly distiller;

My nose may be red, but i am well fec,
And so are my children and wife.
Yes, am jolly distiller,
At morning, at night and at noon;
And never hurry or get in worry
Lest folks should destroy the saloon.
Oh, am jolly distiller,
For business is booming, you see;
My gains are immense lat others eXpense),
And that is convenient for me.

But | amt afraid O. the rumpus they've

Victories of Reform.

The temperance reformation is not a
weary journey TO reach a destination. 1t
is worldwide conflict against world
working sin, in which many splendid
triumphs are already won.
Religiously, the church, as Gods agency
for reform, for some time right in its
resolutions" is now federating its forces
and everywhere graphing the retail liquor
trade. Legisiativey, three States outlaw
the saloon. In sixteen more, fractions OF
the State as large as counties may, and in
crase sale. In eighteen others the unit of
prohibition is as large as municipal corpor-
alton or town. BY the power of local pro-
hibition thus provided a majority OF the
cities and towns Of Massachusetts. for eX-
ample, are free from saloons. Think of
Cambridge and Somerville, solid area,
containing 1000 souls, and no run, shops!
Judic:ally, the trade in alcoholic drinks
is in the utmost i'll favor. The Supreme
Court has said the business is so vile that
the State may restrict or utterly prohibit:
that no man has any natural right to sell
rum and tina: forced by public sentiment
out of business no compensation may be
claimed. On the other hand, where evil
has been wrought by liquor vending dam
ages may be collected by the injured party.
[ndustrially. the man who drinks is marked
and refused work by the railways and
many other employers, and is less in favor
as an employc everywhere, even as bar
tender. Socially, the saloonkeeper and
excessive drinker are barred not only from
the churches, but from all benevolent or.
ders.
If these arc fairly some of the great vic
tories of the reform, the sky is red with
promise of still greater conQuests in the
near future. Radiant hope is enkindled by
the federation of the forces now being col
lected. The first fruits are already gath
cred. In Ohio. Indiana, Tennessee, Arkan-
sas, Texas and many other States the sa-
looms are rapidly being driven out of busi-
ness by this combination of their foes. No
wonder the hosts of Beelzebub are appre-
hensive. "In the sight of all the heathen,"
the unified workers have recently cleansed
the parasites from the wings of the beauti.
full national capital No longer does Uncle
Sam knock down the immigrant with
beer mug upon his arrival. The saloons
are closed at the army posts, and one Of
the best acts of the last Congress was the
granting of cool million dollars for sub
stitutes for the army saloon. In view Of
these recent achievements of unity, what
may we not expect when God calls out His
reserves and hurls against this great enemy
of His kingdom all the troops of the line.
Let no man be discouraged. Trust thou in
God, for we shall Join yet more and more
in jnhilant unisons of praise for His mighty
salvation from the Satanic influences of
strong drink. Howard H. Russell.
