The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1905-06-30

From almost every mining state
and district comes the news of the
reopening Of old properties, or the
development Of new ones, while ex-
pansion in operations appears to
be the rule with active, going con-
cerns. Mining has come to be
looked upon by conservative busi
ness men as perfectly legitimate
and safe business, when honestly
conducted distinction which it
did not enjoy few years ago. The
present attitude toward the mining
industry on the part OF conserva-
tive investors is largely due to the
safeguards thrown around it by the
responsible mining engineers. The
experience Of years has aoundantly
demonstrated that mining opera
tons may be conducted with rs
much safety, viewed from fnan-
cial standpoints as may be found
in any other industrial pursuit.

Gold Production and Develop
nentef Agriculture Value
Ma king Factors.

oil the New I OrK gun, lnere is llJLle
difference of opinion among we'll
informed people in the financial
district as to the structure of the
two great pillars on which the en-
tire movement of security prices in
the last ten years has rested and
continues to rest with immense
solidity. One of these is the rise
in all values caused by the increase
in the production of gold and par
ticularly by the increase of the cir
culating medium in our own coun-
try. Had this increase in monetary
circulation been paper one, the
consequentinfation of prices would
have been of dangerous sort, but
based as it is upon an actual en-
largement of the volume of the
worlds standard money, SO great
that Al per cent. Of all the money
in our country is now gold, the eff
feet upon prices has been not only
immediate but tremendous. Half
of the gold now in use in the world
has been producedin the last TWEEN
ty years. No such increment of
the metal has been added in such a
short space Of time to the worlds
stock Of it since the discovery Of
America by Columbus. In addition
to all this, the bank note circula-
ton of our country has been swol-
len BY over $250,000,0O0 in the last
five years and is now charging
more rapidly than ever, having in
creased nearly $50,CO0,O00 in the
twelve months ended May |, $685.
100000 since the first Of the pres
ent year, and over 81 900, 900 in the
last month alone. The recent in
crease of this form cf money has
been due to the putting out Of new
circulation by the banks based up
on government bonds that have
been released to them upon the de-
post Of public moneys in the treas
ury.
The second factor at work has
been the fundamental change for
the better in the agricultural in
dustries Of the country and the de-
velopment of the agricultural sec
ton that has followed on its heels.
For twenty-five years previous to
the year 1898 the pursuit Of agri-
culture in the western section has
been the most poorly paid Of all
forms of American enterprise.
There were occasional years when
the farmers made a little money,
but taken as whole poverty was
their lot, and this because the farm
ers were engaged in raising and
selling comm 9dities that were be-
ing produced in quantity beyond
the powers Of their own country
and the world to consume. All
this state Of affairs has been re-
versed. The population q our
country has been increased by such
leaps and bounds that we now eat
up practically all the grain we
produce, the farmer gets a big price
for his products, and thai part Of
the country in which the farmers
live is becoming almost the most
prosperous part of the land. Nor
does it seem as if the two condi-
tions named were ephemeral. Gold
is still being produced in a record
way, and there are no signs that its
source of supply is being drained
while the population Of our country
is growing far more quickly than
any possible output Of our supply
Of foodstuffs, assuring to the farm
ers a running stream of wealth for
as long time as any man can see.
This it is that has put life and
power into the business of the land

BLUFF MADE GOOD

Southern Pacific Company has been hold

when completed. was sent over the v. &
T The freight traffic over the v. & It.
road has been greatly increased the last
few days, and it looks as though the
Southern Pacific has realized that the
V. & T. road holds the key to the situ-
alton and cannot be bulldozed.
Another feature which the Southern Pa
cific cannot overlook is the positive fact
that the Western Pacific road viii be
built and If the v. & T. so decided the
Southern Pacific Company could be
knocked out of business from valuable
territory.
Another encouraging sign of the times
is the fact that the v. & T. Company
is now putting down 75-pound rails in
place of the 60-pound rails which have
been in use for years.

REWARD OFFERED
One Thousand Dollars For Cap
ture of Murderer

Yesterday Governor Sparks authorized
the Offering of a reward of $500 for the
arrest of the murderer of Harry Manon.
The Sheriff of Nye county will take sim
liar action, making a total reward of
$1,000 for the capture of the murderer.
This is the first time since Governor
Sparks has been in Office that he has
offered a reward for the arrest of a GRIM
NAL. The murder of Harry Manon was
particularly aggravated and cold-blooded
At the time he was serving as deputy
Sheriff of Nye county. While attempting.
about month ago. to arrest two men
who had held up party of italian la
borers, he was mortally wounded and
died the next day In Beatty The mur
derer escaped. 1t is thought that the
reward of $1,000 will induce many detec-
tives TO take up the search and that the
murderer may be captured and given his
Just deserts.

RICH IN MARBLE
EsmeraIda County Has Some Of
the Finest

Esmeralda county is rich in marble
quarries, some of the finest deposits be-
ing near Luning, station on the C. & c..
DIR. F. A. Plymire, who has spent some
time in that section, says of them:
THE district yields some of the finest
marble that / have ever seen. I obtained
samples of the stone. which resembles
cosely the famous gray. red and pink
that comes from the noted quarries of
Vermont and New York. There is also
to be found marble resembling that from
the Mediterranean islands and the cele-
brated black and gold from Egypt. The
grain is more even than some of the
kinds that have mentioned. being easier
to work and adapted better to polishing
as a consequence. l think these quarries
are destined to furnish some of the best
marble ever found in the entire country"

MINING DECISIONS
Important Rulings Of Interest to
Many

According to a decision handed down
in the case of Willitt VS.. Baker a few
days ago. where the original locators of
mining claim were engaged in doing
the annual assessment work on the 31st
day of December, and left their tools on
the claim that night, intending to resume
work the next day, which they did, their
possession and work were continuous.
and one who relocated the claim during
the night was a trespasser and acquired
no rights.
Another decision recently rendered in
Colorado is to the effect that the discov-
cry of vein or lode before any other
steps are taken to perfect the location is
not required. These are certainly i'm
portant decisions and viii interest quite
number of people in this section.

THE HIDDEN TREASURE

eight-hour shifts in the mine and run
their two-stamp mill themselves. They
are taking out ore from a depth of rs
feet, milling and cyaniding the tailings by
a direct filing process, the talings not be-
ing allowed to dry at all, but are worked
direct from the plates. They have plenty
of water from a water tunnel and very
complete assaying outfit. That they are
doing well and making a success of their
treatDlent of the ore is evidenced by the
fact that have been running for the past
six weeks, and when asked what the ore
paid per ton they said they would rather
not give that information and added,
I'VE are satisfied" calhound and Cham
berlin have two claims-the Hidden
Treasure and the Emma-and the Emma
is equally as rich as the Hidden Treas

the Hidden Treasure to run them all

is through tunnel GOO feet in length and
they have $50 feet of ore above the tun-
