Perhaps there is no law on Nevada's
statutes that needs overhauling more
than the law providing for the holding
Of inquests over the remains of people
who come to their death suddenly or
violently. In ninety-nine cases out Of
every hundred sat upon in this State it
is a comedy from the summoning of the
jury to the potter's field, and the set
Element of the Coroner with the county
is not unlike the concert after a circus.
Not one time in a thousand does the
Coroner or anybody else know any more
about the case after an inquest" has
been held than they knew before. A Cor
oner's Office, in this State as the Law
now stands, is nothing more or less than
a graft on the taxpayers. The same old
stereotyped verdict is returned in nearly
every instance Of sudden or violent
death. The Office of Coroner should
be one of the most important in the
county. and if the law governing it
wal worth the leaf it occupies in the
statutes it would be.

SQUEEZING OUT THE WATER.

Fresno Republican: Within the past
two years, more than a thousand mill
ion dollars of imaginary wealth has
gone out of existence, in Wall street,
without affecting the actual wealth of
the country at all. Even the Wall
street gamblers lost only a very small
part of the thousand millions. A few Of
them, or their clients, bought securities
dear and sold them cheap. They, of
course, lost by the deal. But by far
the largest part of these securities were
no loss to anybody, except in his mind.
They cost nothing to begin with, they
were never sold to anybody. and when
they were finally withdrawn a. unsal-
able, nothing was lost but an empty
dream.

BALDWIN WILL TRY 1T AGAIN

w. II. Baldwin, the New York broker
who paid dividends while disposing oil
treasury stock in the California-Nevada
bubble, has secured the interests OF the
Sunset Copper Mining Company OF nv.

endeavor to reimburse the u~nfortunates
who put their money in the California
Nevada Company. Each Of the 1,OOo or
more shareholders will receive stock IN
the new company in view OF the ola
defunct concern. The Sunset Company
has always been considered a legitimate
mining enterprise, with a good fairly
developed property. yet at all times IL
has lacked sufficient funds to thoroughly
develop and equip the property. One
thing, the company has always beer IN
the hands of an honorable set of men
who understand the mining business
especially that portion of it relating to
the ground. If the same management
is retained and a supervisory control is
placed over Baldwin's pyrotechnical
booming methods, the Sunset Company
stands o good chance of meeting the
expectations Of some good mining men
who have great faith in the property

NEW GOLD AND SILVER RATIO

The United States, with the sympathy
o. Mexico, has a commission abroad to
range an international coinage ratio
for silver and gold. All the elements
are cut out to the clean question
of ratio. The gold standard countries
use, as we do, silver for currency and
for token or subsidiary coins. Like the
United States, says the San Francisco
Call, they are all subject to the f1uctua-
tions Of silver bullion, and as their
coinage ratio at present is so far from
the commercial ratio they find their
silver currency an element of disturb
ance.
Our commission finds the European
powers quite ready to discuss the ques-
ton and reach a solution which will
leave less margin between the artificial
or coinage ratio and the average COM
mercial difference between the two
metals. There is a general conviction
that actual values will never again
closely approximate the former and ex-
listing coinage ratio. For a long time
France, even under the gold standard,
has stubbornly insisted that her ratio
of 1516 to / was the best that could be
reached. The other gold countries have
disbelieved this, but have made no
move for a ratio reform. France now
seems to willingly give it up, and
with the others agree that silver will
never again have the commercial value
her existing ratio. 1t is reported by
our commissioners that she assents to a
new ratio of 81 to 1 or one-half her
present standard.
The attractive reason for a new ratio,
offered by the Americans, is that it is
necessary to the financial stability of
the Oriental countries. The leading
European nations and the United States
have a partnership of interests in the
Orient through territorial possessions
there, and all have a community of in
terest in the Oriental trade. For both
reasons they should desire a ratio that
will for q long time closely approximate
the actual value relation of gold and
silver. The commission has found en-
enlargement in London, Paris, The
Hague and Berlin, and is in st. Peters
burg to sound the Gar on the subject.
If all those nations agree with us upon
q ratio there will be nothing in the
way of its adoption.

Patenting Many Nevada Mines.

The Nevada Surveyor Generals office
has been rushed with mining claims
patent work. Since the first of July
over 500 a day has been paid into the
office ON office work for patents for
claims. Thirty dollars must be paid
down in advance for each claim, and
this mems that patents have been ap-
piled for on 270 claims. This is an indi-
cation of the revival of mining in Ne.
vada. When it is remembered that
$500 worth Of work must be done ON
each claim before patented, it will be
realized that there is a large amount of
money expended at present in develop
ing properties.
