GIVING DUE CREDIT.
A Paper Of Standing Can Always AZ
ford to Do Il.

The Tonopah Miner, which was re-
Gently enlarged to IL pages, is reproduce
ing quite a few items from THE GOLD
FIELD News. This is not surprising in
itself, but the important fact connected
with it is the fact that the Miner gives
full and conspicuous credit to THE News
for every item which it reproduces. The
Miner in doing this exhibits a willing
ness not only to do the proper thing,
but also shows that it is big enough to
be able to give credit to THE News with
out being afraid of losing its wi
strength and dignity.
In this connection we may mention a
recent occurrence which has caused con-
siderable amusement among the news
paper fraternity OF Goldfeld. In the
issue of March 81, a paper which is
printed in Tonopah and delivered in
Goldfield daily in order that the people
of this camp may have live, up-to-date
news (?), published under a scare head
an article regarding the January mine.
The article was copied word for word
and without the slightest attempt to
change even in the matter of punctua-
ton, an article which appeared in THE
GoLDFIELD NEWS of March 18th.
OF course, news two weeks old is none
too fresh, but it had the advantage over
the most OF the articles which that paper
publishes in the fact that it was true
and reliable.
LATER-Since the above was written
we find that the alleged daily news %
paper is giving further evidence of an
attempt to reform. In its issue OF April
9th it again copies from THE News, also
under a scare head, an item about Dick
Dillon which appeared in this paper in
the issue OF March 18th. As in previous
instances, not a word o a comma was
changed. Keep up the good work,
neighbor. You are on the right track
at last.

The Most Legitimate Industry.

In this era OF consolidation and trust
legislation to destroy competition, it is
not noticeable hat the precious metal
mining industry is the only one that
supports all others and completes with
none. A new factory completes with es-
tablished ones, new farms tend to lower
prices of products, another store cuts
into the business of existing ones, the
gold and silver miner alone, enriches all
other establishments. He prod uces
nothing that he can consume, he affords
the best markets for the products of
(Dthers, the amount of his purchases de-
bends on the amount of mineral devel-
.opment in his section. His mine sets in
motion and sustains all other industries.
As a promoter of railroad traffic, as a
sustainer of farm and steelindustries, as a
creator of all new industries, as a custo-
mer of factories of all kinds, the miner
is the best purchaser.
It has been estimated that each miner
WORN Q underground affords employ
mer = II eight men above ground, thus
mt in motion other waves OF indus
try which profit the farmer, merchant,
manufacturer, railroad and steamboat
man. Self interest should suggest to
every business man in every capacity,
that ANYTHING that aids the mining in
,,ustry. aids all other business. What
ever helps the miner, helps all. What
ever retards the mining industry, in
, lures, to some extent, the welfare oil the
country. The miner is not like the
banker. the railroad promoter and the
trust organizer, who is always asking

for subsidies and class legislation to
protect and foster trusts, to destroy
competition.
No one has ever pioneered to Alaska
or South Africa to plant cabbage. These
industries follow mining. Were it not
for the miner, mostly all of the Pacific
coast would still be a wild wilderness.
When the miner has money to spend,
every one in his community is prosper

parent of all other industries. The
precious miner and he alone, helps all

S23O,OO0,O00
THIS is THE FIGURE NAMED BY
THE BOARD OF CONSULTING
ENGINEERS
FINAL REPORT SOON
FINAL REPORT SOON
Board viii End Its Preliminary Work
Very Shortly = Work of Building
the Canal Will, 1t Is Estimated, oc.
eupy Fifteen Years = Ships to Use
Their Own Power.

Washington. D. G., Nov. 20. - The
cost OF sea level canal, favored by
majority Of the board Of consulting
engineers Of the isthmian commission
is estimated by the engineers at $3.50.
100000. Although this amount seems
much larger than the amount neces
sary for the construction of the lock
canal, it is said by the advocates of
the plan to be only slightly higher.
1t was pointed out in the meetings
OF the board that lock would neces.
state between $3O,OOO,O0O and $40,
100000 as payment for the private
grounds and the lands belonging to
the republic Of Panama which would
be inundated by the construction OF
the lock system. This item, in the
view of the majority of the board is
entirely done away with by the adop
tion of the sea level canal.
AS for the time it will take to con.
struct the canal, several members OF
the board expressed the opinion that
the sea level canal will not take SO
very much more time than that of the
lock canal, and that if no unexpected
dlt1cult1es are met with, it should not
require more than two or three years
additional. The locks would have
been so large in their view that even
the drawing of the plans; for them
would have taken considerably more
than a year and the building Of ce
ment constructions calls for a higher
class of workmen than the ordinary
laborers used for the digging of the
canal.
viii Take Fifteen Years.
The tropical conditions of the 18th.
mus, the sea level people contend,
also initiate more against this class
OF labor. The majority of the engi.
neers take the position that the build.
ing of the sea level should not take
more than fifteen years.
1t Is expected that ships will pass
through the canal under their own
power. When two ships will have to
pass each other in the canal one will
have to stop and wait to allow freer
navigabfe conditions for the individ-
ual ships in the restricted space.
The sea level canal will have a
width at the bottom Of $50 feet, ex-
cept in the Cuebra cut, where the
width will be 200 feet. The greater
width in the Culebra cut is necessary
to allow two ships to pass each other
safely between the high banks of the
canal, which will be formed by the
deep excavation.
The board has decided to substitute
Brussels for Paris as the meeting
place Of the foreign members next
January. The reason for this decision
is that Brussels is more conveniently
situated for several of the members
The American engineer who will go
to Brussels with the documents to be
signed has not yet been chosen.
This week a committee of three
members Of the board will make fin
al report.
