The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1906-10-02

IN the mining world a momentous
event for Nevada. To millions who
have never heard of Ely, to millions
yet unborn this event will be of vast
significance, for with the railroad
Ely will scatter through the world the
copper Of the camp.
1t was with copper that primative
man made his first rude metal utensils
and then came iron, but with the pro-
gress of civilization we are returning
to the use Of copper. We are now
using in manufacture 200, 600, 900 tons
of pure copper and have surplus of
100, 900, 600 but you must understand
that we are just at the beginning of
the world wide use of copper There
are perhaps 400, 100000 persons in
China and 800 900, 900 in India who will
yet ride in trolley cars, and the widen
ing use of copper viii call for more and
more of the metal. Ely's mine pro
ducts will thus reach every part of the
world
c. I. Wood, Of Denver, who repre-
sented the American Mining Congress,
which meets in Denver October l6 tc

ing to have national department Of

Of Denver, to whom Houlder Hudgins,
oator of THE NEWS, had yielded the
fine allotted to him on the programme.

and yielding to his feelings, he added :;
And wish it were wilderness now. y
Mr. Temple added that he hoped that
no such fate would ovcrtake his effort.

THE UNIONS IN POLITICS

The combined force of The far
mers' and labor unions Is going r
prove a powerful factor in the pol
itics OF the new state. Never were
these forces more strongly organiz-
ed and never did they proceed to
their work in a more practical way.
The most significant feature Of the
movement and the one which gives
promise Of carrying success with it,
IS the policy Of holding aloof from
the third party idea and pressing
the battle within existing parties.
The demands OF the farmers and
working people are in the main
just. They demand only what
they are entitled to have. The on
ly reason why they have not been
successful heretofore in securing
the legislation which justice de-
mands should be given them, is that
that they have proceeded along the
lines which practical politics die
ates must be followed in order to
win. Hitherto, in both farmers
and labor organizations the coun-
sci Of ambitious politicians in their
own ranks who fancied they saw
an opportunity for political pre-
ferment, have been too much fol-
lowed, and the consequence has
been that their forces have been
dissipated on third party move
ments. This year the wiser coun-
Gil Of such leaders as President
Gompers is being followed and the
results wiz be far different.
With their forces united and
thrown to the support of the candi.
dates pledged to support their pol
icies, the farmers and labor unions
can command vote sufficient 10
put their men in Office in the ma
jority of cases and they will be
able to have their demands needed
in legislative hall. The success of
the union movement will depend
upon the rigid adherance to this
policy.
