continue the arrangement here
tofore existing between the two
newspapers as to dividing the
public printing, but at the same
time specifically STIMULATING that
our joint bid for the city print
ing rates for other public print
ing is fixed by law should be
$500; the same amount as The
Gazette bid for itself. Nh
Greig stated to both of the pro-
prietors of this paper in the
presence of one of our employees
that he thought very favorably
of the matter. and would talk it
over with his partner and give US
an answer. Owing to much de.
lay In obtaining an answer and
being DESTROYS of continuing a
perfectly honorable arrangement
and intended solely to conserve
friendly relations between the
parties thereto, we did not ''im-
perfume" The Gazette, but made
several requests for the promised
answer to a proposition con.
sidered with open favor by Editor
Greig.
If it be true in the words of
The Gazette that during the
past administration The Ad-
v~ertiser and The Gazette have
both been sucking a fine treat of
the old corporation COW to the
tune of 5000, or 500 apiece"
and that side by side these two
stalwart calves have gorged the
rich and delicious fluid for years
past, and have grown big and
fat upon food, to which the meat
that Caesar fed upon was no
what will be
thought of the greed of the one
calf which wanted for itself
alone as much, and no less, than
what was deemed ample for two
stalwart calves heretofore!
All this, however, has no real
bearing on the question and
affords no justification for the
two official acts of the Council
complained of, and which un-
place the new admin
istration in an altogether un-
light. And this is to
be regretted all the more because
of the fact that the welfare and
progress of Lafayette rests
largely in the hands of the City
and it were better for
all, If their administration had
started out on lines broad
enough to commend them to the
confidence and support,
instead of being allowed to fall
into the ways of the partisan
politician. which are always OBJ.
in their influence and
subversive of good government.

OUR REPLY.

new administration is always a
matter of public Importance. and
their first official acts are and
should be a matter of concern.
even anxiety, to all good citizens.
Should their acts be such as to
win appreciation, then it is for
tunate indeed; but should they
merit condemnation, it only re-
mains for the people to know it,
and it becomes the unpleasant
duty of the newspapers to place
the facts before their readers.
The new City Council has
inaugurated it's administration
by completely ignoring the plat
form of economy and impartial
ity to which it stands pledged
before the people. The Council
has increased the cost of polio
ing the town $1,000 a year, with
out any corresponding advantage
to the public in the opinion Of
many thinking people who are
directly interested in the ques-
ton as taxpayers; and they have
given the public printing to the
Gazette at $50 a year in prefer
ence to accepting the offer of The
Advertiser to perform the same
service for $74 a year, and this
was done in direct violation of
the law, which provides that
municipal corporations shall let
the public printing to the lowest
responsible bidder.
Believing that fair corsidera-
ton should be accorded our new
city administration, The Adver-
tiser purposely refrained from
commenting upon the first i'm
pOrtant act of that body in ad-
ding tn the number and the
salaries of the police force. We
believed it to be only right to wait
for developments before passing
Judgment; but when they after
ward awarded the public print
ing to the highest bidder for
none other than personal reasons,
then interpreting their first act.
by this last one, The Advertiser
considered the matter of such
serious import as an index to
the possible future acts of the
Council, as to deserve publicity
and adverse criticism. That
was our motive, and were it not,
the fact that We had been de-
prived of our just right under
the law regulating the awarding
Of public printing, would have
been sufficient to any fair minded
person.
The business proposition we
made to The Gazette does not in
any way affect the principle in
volved in the present contention.
It was made wholly with q view
of fostering . friendly relation
ship of the local press, which is q
desideratum; but Editor Greig
has unkindly and unjustly placed
the proposition before the public
in such . light as to reflect upon
the editor Of this paper.
Ever since the present pro-
prietors Of The Advertiser have
owned the paper. . business ar
rangement has existed with The
Gazette under which both papers
shared the public printing Of the
town and parish. When Mr.. r.

ARE OPTIMISTIC.
Colorado Capitalists Believe Future OF
Great Gold Camp is Assured.

Thomas L. Darby, one of the most
thoroughly experienced mining engi-
neers in the country, returned this
week from a business visit in Denver.
In speaking of the sentiment of the
investing public of Colorado towards
Nevada's great gold camp to a report
er of the News, he said:
"There is plenty of money availa-
BILE in Colorado for investment in
Goldfield mining propositions and in
terest in the mineral belt of southern
Nevada is decidedly keen. While |
made no concerted effort to ascertain
the trend of sentiment there as regards
Goldield and it's mines, the fact that
such sentiment was decidedly favora-
bic was made manifest to me in many
ways. The camp has been thoroughly
advertised throughout that state and
many of the capitalists of Denver are
well posted in regard to its present
output and its future possibilities.
~uoot VI thOiu - LoNOAaUiy impressed
with the outlook here and look upon
the camp as a permanency; and as be-
ing one which is destined to enhance
very materially in value during the
next few years. The lack of railroad
facilities has in the past prevented
many of these men visiting the district
and investigating for themselves the
mineral conditions, but now that this
difficulty has been overcome a number
of Denver's wealthy citizens are pre-
pairing to make a trip to the camp.
Goldfield mining propositions have
been injured somewhat in that section
by the manipulation of wildcatters, but
the feeling of skepticism is fast Civ
ing way to one of confidence and I be-
lieve that the next few months will
mark the influx TO the camp of consid-
cradle Colorado money!"

COLUMBIA GETS BUSY.
Goldfeld's Hustling N~eighbor is Re-
building Fire Swept Section.

1t takes something even more formi-
dable than a eoniagration to make
the Columbia resident cry enough,
and no better demonstration of this
assertion could be had than the rapid
ty with which the section which was
devastated by the recent fire is being
rebuilt. Business blocks and resilen-
ces have sprung up as if by m2gic on
all portions of the burnt area and in
many instances the structures are
larger and of a more durable character
than the ones which crumbled into
ashes during the conf1agration. In
most of the buildings now under con-
struction fire proof materials are be-
ing used. The architectural de-
sign of two of these latter is decided
ly picturesque. They are being con-
structed of concrete blocks and are
owned by George Wingfeld and Co.
burn & Jarvis and when finished will
have the appearance of one building.
The foundations were completed sew
eral days ago and the work of erecting
the walls is now in progress. All of
the material needed is now on hand
and it is expected that they will be
ready for occupancy within one month.
Among other buildings now in course
of construction is a massive stone
structure near the site of the Wingfeld
block and a number Of residences.

respectfully

The above letter which was recently
received from one of our early sub
scr;5ers is one that should be read
with care by every officer of a mining
company in this section. The criti-
cism offered is one that applies too
often to mining companies generally,
and is by no means more common in
those of Goldfeld and Tonopah than
elsewhere. The man who pays for one
hundred shares of stock is just as
much entitled to know the financial
standing of the company and the ply
steal condition of the property as the
man who owns the control. Monthly
reports of the different companies
could be gotten out at a comparatively
small expense, and if they are accu-
rate and complete, it will place the
knowledge of the condition of the
company before { every stock
holder. This knowledge every
stakeholder is entitled TO. OF course
there are some companies with honest
management and property of great
prospective value which at times are
cramped for funds, and during such
periods the officers may feel that they
are not justified in going to even the
small expense of a monthly report. In
most cases, however, the monthly re-
port is essential and would rebound
to the benefit of the company.

All indications lead TO the belief
that this fall and winter will be the
most active and prosperous period thus
far experienced in this camp. With
the advent of the railroad mining and
general business have received further
impetus and signs Of increased com
mercial advancement are manifest OF
every hand. The mines are adding
largely to their working force, thereby
enhancing their output very material
", and with this increase in ore ton
mage the demand for larger and more
adequate plants for the treatment of
that proportion of the ore consigned
to the local mills and samplers has be-
come an urgent necessity. To meet
these requirements substantial add:
| tions are being made to the various
Goldfeld plants. At the mill at the
Combination nine two five-stamp bat
~teries have been added, thereby giving
it q complement of twenty stamps, and
other mach needed Improvements have
been made, including the installation
of ooncentrators. cyanide tanks, etc.
This affords the plant a daily ore
treating capseity of from so to 100
tons.
Fifteen additional stamps furnish
larger ore treating capacity to the
plant of the New Western Reduction
company, and it is understood that an
addition of ten stamps is to be made
at the mill Of the Gardner brothers.
The H. l.. Frank company recently in
stalled a new plant in the place of
the sample outfit utilized in testing
the success of the process in vogue
there, and plans and specifications have
been drawn up and bids invited for
the erection of a forty-stamp mill, to-
gether with concentrating and cyanid-
ing plant.
These improvements are Indicative
of a largely increased output of ore,
and the fact that they entail the ex-
penditure of large sums of money can
not but nave its beneficial effects in
the centers where capital for mining
purposes congregates. No better dem
onstration of the permanency and val
ne of Goldfeld mines could be had
than the fact that the mill men, who
as a rule are always conservative, are
expending large amounts of cash in
adding to the capacity of their plants.
Then, again, the building of the rail
way has also been most beneficial, not
alone because of the increased facili-
ties that are afforded for the shipment
of ore thereby, but also because it is
a further demonstration of the stabili-
ty of the camp. Capital is peculiarly
sensitive to signs of prosperity and in
no instance is this more marked than
in circles where money is available for
mining operations. Cash is easy in the
east, and as there is little opportunity
for its investment there save at nomi-
nal rates of interest, a large proper
ton of it is available for the develop
ment of the west and it's mines. This
being true, and Goldfeld being in the
glare of the lime light, the trend of
western investment is toward its bor-
ders.
