We dare say there are not two week

circulations than the Times and we
do not believe either of them are in

A SERIOUS FEATURE
OF THE QUARANTINE

A serious but apparently little
thought of feature of the quarantine
siege has been the the presence of a
very large negro class whose cEief
means of subsistence was suddenly
taken away. Most of these people
the, women and children-Iivs by
the earnings of the mothers as cooks,
washerwomen, and domestic servants,
the family at home being usually
supported by the contents of the COW
cred basket which is as much a par.
of the cooks accoutrement as her
bonnet. The great hegiIa of fami-
lies has left the majority of these
without any resource, and there had
undoubtedly been want among them
The negro male animal, is as we'll
known as a rule, concerns himself
very little for the care of the female
and her young The helpless women
and children of the race have borne the
seige. without complain mt, but its effects
have been noticeable in the numb er
OF cases of housebreaking and other
forms of lawlessness with which the
police have had to conteud. Some cf
these appear to have been the acts of
negroes crazed by cocaine: bat the
mere suggestion of the PRESENCE OF
such class in q community at such
a time is ground for uneo mfoE ablc
thouoht.

WILL NOT Run LINES.

No attempt will be made by the de-
partment of the interior to u a sur
vey for the purpose of establishing the
section lines of the mineral lands of
southern Nevada owing to the fact
that the governmental appropriation
for Nevada forbids the expenditure of
the funds for running section lines
on any but agricultural land. Town
ship lines are to be established in
this portion of the state, but it will
require further action by congress to
secure the money necessary for the sur
veying of section lines throughout the
mineral zone. Some time ago a petit
tioG, signed by the miners of this sec
land office requesting that this work
be performed, but on investigation it
was discovered that no funds were
available for the purpose.

THE SILVER BOW DISTRICT.

This new camp does not need any
particular attention from the press of
u~cighLoring camps of the desert, as
the town can now boast of a newsy
little sheet which has been called the
Standard" and we take the privi-
lege of clipping some live items of
news from 1T.
By this mornings fast freight there
arrived 500 ore sacks, consigned to
Herman and Mccarthy, owners of a
lease on the McGonsgill ground. If
nothing unforeseen happens a shipment
will be made the coming week, or just
as soon as the ore can be sacked. At
the present writing there are six tons of
high grade ore on the dump and three
tons in sight in the shaft. The average
value per ton of the ore on the dump
is $500 ard the shipping from this prop
erty alone will amoun to ten IONS
The Toopsil Lumber company has
agreed to transport the first twenty
tons of ore from the campfree of charge
and the company will shortly be mott
fed that the ~lessees are ready for its
teams. From the appearance of the
leases at the present time, the indica-
tions are that regular shipments
will follow the Herman and Mccarthy
consignment.
On the Blazier ground there are two
IONS of shipping ore and had it not
Eeen for unavoidable set backs, the
lessees on that property would have
had a shipment earlier. At the pres
emit time work is temporarily suspend
ed pending the arrival of a windlass
from Tonopah.
Stopping of ore has beer in progress
on the Wiley and Robb lease, while
Hank Somers is preparing a shipment
from the tioat which abounds on the
surface of his lease. In many other
instances shipping ore has been en-
countered and the people of Silver
Bow have every confidence in the fu-
ture of this camp. The next thirty
days viii undoubtedly witness the long
predicted rush, yet the citizens gener-
ally are not of the boomer kind, as
they realize that the merit behind this
camp will do all the booming that is
necessary and at .hc same time accom-
plish results more beneficial. Silver
Bow promises to add her share of the
wealth to the nation and glory to the
Battleborn state.

HIGH PRICES A CHECK

The world copper production in
1904 is placed at 1,407, 056,000 pounds.
This is an increase of 7 per cent Over
that of 1903.
1t is of some interest to note that
for the last ten years the average
yearly increase in production has been
7.3 per cent. The average yearly in
crease in United States production
has beer greater than that, but it's
yearly increases have been offset by
decreases in other countries, with the
result of maintaining the average in
crease at the percentage here stated.
During last year the United States
furnished So per cent of the world s
copper production. 1t will have to
sumption. AS it is, production is not
keeping pace with consumption. There
is not an actual scarcity of copper,
but stocks are being drawn upon to
such an extent as to force up prices
of the metal. This is unfortunate.
That higher prices are the logical re-
suits of the present situation cannot
be denied, yet it is matter for regret
that enough copper can not be pro-
duced to maintain prices around Is
cents. At prices much over that con-
sumption will fall off; then we shall
have a recurrence of q production
greater than is absorbed, which al
ways acts as a check upon the de-
velopment of new properties.

The Brazilian diamond belonging to
the crown jewels of Portugal weighs
1880 carats with an estimated value of

enormous stone is a certainty, whether
real or spurious. If spurious (for
which there is no positive proof then
the Excelsior weighing 971R ear
ats in the rough when found in the
Jagersfontein mine, South Africa, June
30, 1893-was the first largest known
diamond ever taken from Mother
Earth. But when the Cullinan dia-
woodworking 1892 ~carats, un-
earthed from the Premier mine, Trans
vaal last March-is taken into con-
sideration, all other diamonds noted
for size-even the "Braganza,' are
comparatively small. Computing the
value of this gigantic stone with the
estimated value of the Braganza would
give a value to this Cullinan diamond
of 10000, 200.
