GOLD DIGGING
TO BEAT RECORD
Worlds Production in 1905
S4O0, ,OG0,0
FLOOD NOW IN FULL TIDE
Would Have Reached That Amount Last
Year But for Boer War and
Colorado Strikes.
FLOOD NOW IN FULL TIDE

Four hundred million dollars of gold
will be the worlds production for 1905
When William Jennings Bryan ran for
President in 1896 the worlds annual
production had never reached one-haIf
this sum When the crime of '73"
was committed the worlds average was
4 little more than one-fourth this sum-
When specie payments were resumed it
was even less than in '73
For the year 1906, from all present in
dications. the production will be far
greater than 1905. and may reach $780,
100000 The flood of gold is in full tide.
But the end is not yet There is no
knowing what the next few years may
develop, except that it is morally GER

crease for many years 10 come.
New fields are being developed, old
fields are producing larger amounts from

important OF all. the business of mining

No Excitement.

Not the least interesting feature of
this wonderful increase in the gold out
put is the fact that 1t has been ac-
complished with so little excitement and
hurly-burly- 1t was not always SO
Between 1916 and 1855 the worlds gold
production increased approximately
from s36. 600 Il, $3.50 00000o Those were
the years when California and the South
seas We're pouring their first splendid
treasure floods into the stream of the
worlds golden wealth. All the world
WIS mad with the lust for golden gain.
If all the wealth and toll and travail
and hearts blood that paid for that lit
lie heap of saffron metal which the
argonauts panned out of California and
Australia could be balanced off against
the dollars sad cents added to the
worlds riches, 1t would be found. ac-
cording to the best statistics, that every
dollar OF gold .sullion cost something
like 81 in lives and wealth sacrificed in
the getting.

A Reliable Business.

Instead of being the adventure of ar
gonauts, the speculation of pioneers. the
prize of reckless explorers it is today
as legitimate and reliable a business as
mining iron or making sewing machines
or watering stocks
The substitution of scientific business
methods has taken the romance out of
sold-producing. It has made possible
the payment OF dividends
The Treasury statistics on the United
states production Of gold are not yet
complete for the year ended December
81 last. They are so far perfected that
IT IS certain a gain OF about 10 per
cent will be shown over the preceding
year.
Even this will only restore it TO the
level reached in 1902. when this country
turned out $50. ,00o of gold The fol-
lowing year there was a reduction of al
most 100000. due to the labor troubles
in Colorado.
The worlds production would easily
have reached 500 oo0. 600 last year, in all
proba bility, but for two incidents--the
Roer war and the Colorado strikes
These are both past. and the world is
digging gold today ct a greater rate
than ever before.

A CRAVE SUBJECT
A Haunted Graveyard-t the
Story by An Eye Witness

A ghost story has been floating about
in Winnemucca for several days and
every time it has been repeated it has
grown until several in town are willing
to swear they 'seen it." Lights have
been seen in the cemetery at the foot
Of Bridge street and some contend that
the lights were of several colors. so
keen was their Imagination Graveyard
parties have been made up to go and
witness the wonderful sight, but until
last night none ventured nearer the
hghts than the south end of the
bridge. Last night, however, a party
was made up to go a little nearer and
some of the ladies of the party have not
gotten over trembling yet. White robed
figures could be seen fitting about among
the gravestones, but when some of the
Drawer hearts in last nights party took
after the ghosts" they melted like snow
in the sun. Some of the ladies in the
party, however. still insist they were
truly ghosts" An arc street light at
the foot of Bridge str.et threw a str.,rg
light on gravestone ana made 1t shine.

sable James Russell and District Attor-

ceedings filed against them by the fore
manAof the Grand Jury and also by ]. A.
McF Fhersop, who is now serving term

The findings of the Grand Jury ars
based on charges preferred by some OF
the women of the town, They assert
that they have been arrested and fined
and charge that the money paid by them
has not been turned over to the County
Treasurer.
The charges filed by Mcpherson set
forth that while he was under arrest for
passing bad paper he was twice ap
preached by one of the officials with
offers to quash the indictments against
him if he would pay $500. The three off,
cials say that both charges are prompted
by spite and deny them absolutely.

Iieved of cash

Early Friday morning the Reception
saloon, on a prominent street of Gold

friend. who were sitting talking by The
stove, with his revolver and riff1ed the
ash register.
In his hurry he overlooked a roll Of
$500 in bills that was lying in an old

BOUGHT A LOT.

p. b. Roberts bought a lot of JOS Pas
cal Saturday evening. The lot is stu
ated on the north side of the Humboldt
near the foot of Bridge street and on a
tract of land that the Western Pacific
survey crosses. Phil proposes to get in
in time and before the Western Pacific
boom comes bouncing along. He made
the first payment in the shape of
cart wheel silver dollar, coined at the
ratio of steen to one. The terms of the
agreement are that Phil shall pay Pascal
$249 more for the lot when the deed is
passed Mr.. Roberts argues that If the
Western Pacific comes and if the West
ern Pacific makes this a divisional point
and If the Western Pacific puts up shops,
and if the Western Pacific makes the
improvements on this particular 100 BY
14O he can put about two hun. to the
good, and if the Western acifc does
not come, and if the Western Pacific
does not make this a divisional point,
and if the Western Pacific does not build
shops on the banks of the sluggish Hum
boldt, he is not out much. Roberts
motto is, 'Nothink risked nothing made,
and his line of reasoning is very good

A FREAK.

Silver State reporter was shown this
morning a freak In the shape of an egg
laid by one of Simon Reinhart's thor
oughbred chickens. 1t was laid yester-
day and is a soft shell and looks more
like a seal than like an egg. 1t has the
head and body of a seal and the tail of
a rat. Mr.. Reinhart is going to preserve
it in alcohol 1t is worthy place in
the Smithsonian Institute in Washington,
for it Is indeed a curiosity in the way of
an egg The hen that laid it must have
been frightened by rat. lizard or some
thing else one can almost imagine he
can see 1t move about. but that is prob
ably accounted for from the fact that
the egg is soft shell.

shipped $4,000 pounds of fiuxing iron ore
from the Vulcan mine on winnemucca
mountain since the 18th. All the ore

iron and all that contains any other
metal is put aside for shipment later.
