SILVER STEADILY ADVANCES

Another high mark for silver has been
reached. The Director Of the Mint on
Oct. "a purchased 100000 ounces of sill

delivered at the Denver Mint, the reg
ular market quotation fc. bar silver in
the New York market being 704. The
reason for the difference in price paid
by the Government and the market
rate is that the seller pays shipping
charges.
The constant appreciation OF the white
metal is being followed with interest by
mining men for it mean much to them.
II silver is maintained above 10 many
mines will be rehabilitated and old
workings opened up. There is every
reason to expect such a revival; the de-
mand for silver is constantly increasing
while the supply is almost stationary.
This demand for the white metal is
accelerated by the increasing trade with
the Orient and India and the resultant
increase in the use of the metal for
coinage.

it would not be many years before the

Eureka Couniy's State Fusion Candidate


and against mighty odds proved him a
crackerjack for breaking into the
established methods for retiring a
man from politics. Eureka County,
however, has no regrets that he has
been its representative In the Senate
the last four years. He built up a public
record and he built it well. and as there
is a vital need for voters to know ONE
thing positive about a man who asks
for their votes. the word ''busy" is no
misnomer in connection with Mr..
Raftice's work in this campaign through
the State.
The labor vote in Nevada has grown
proportionately with the new life aud
prosperity that have come into the State
since the last election and Bob Raftics's
efforts in behalf of the miners and his
hard work for the passage of the Eight
Hour law have given him a prestige
among the laboring men that should
land him in the office of State Con
%troller. One or two efforts have been
made to blacken his labor record, but
he quickly turned the ~searchlight on
the records and proved that he voted
for every bill that benefited the work
ingmen of this State during the foul
sessions he served in the Legislature.
Further, he was the first candidate
for the Nevada Legislature to publicly
pledge himself during the campaign tt
support the Eight-Hour bill. He wal
the first to agitate an eight-hour day fol
the employees of the Nevada Stats
Prison, and to his efforts are due th,
eight-hour system in that institution
He always labored for the good of tn

State When Mining Congress
Is Invited to Goldfeld

Denver, Colorado, Oct. 2i.-A most

ed an invitation to the Congress to hold
its 1907 convention in the city Of Gold.
field. Delegate Riepe inviting the
Congress TO select Goldfeld next year
as the meeting place, read a long tele-
gram from the Goldfeld News and
fifty others, in which the Congress was
assured a hearty and cordial welcome.
Like thunder from a clear sky, as
Mr.. Riepe concluded. ~ex-Judge E. A.
Colburn, former president of the Mine
Owners Association of Cripple Creek,
startled the con sention by saying:
Every camp in the State Of Nevada,
gentlemen, Is dominated by men who
have no respect for the laws of God or
man. They dictate in the matter of
wages, and they dictate whom you
shall employ. What does this invita-
ton mean? Do you want to get all the
mining men Of the country in a body,
so that they can murder us more ex.
peditiously and thoroughly? Are We
to be subject to the assault of assassins
who have put a price on our heads ?
Mr.. +. J. Campbell will bsar me out on
this. for he barely escaped with his life
when he went to Goldfield. l may be
taken to Nevada. but l won't go there
voluntarily and take my chances on

tresses who refuse to wear tights,
models who are tickle about the style
of their corsets and baseball players
who are given to jumping contracts
are upheld by the Iowa supreme court
in decision handed down recently by
Justice Weaver.
1t is in the case of a corset company
against Helen c. Crosby, in which
$4,000 Is demanded because the pretty
actress broke her contract to pose In
the curve" corsets at Sioux City and
went to wearing straight fronts
The case reached the higher court,
which said that she was entirely right.
Her objection to her contract was that
the company insisted on an advance
man whose reputation or character she
did not know. In his opinion Justice
Weaver takes occasion to lament the
decision of another state, which en-
joined Lillian Russell from appearing
in one company because, she had
jumped her contract with another on
the ground that the tights they re-
quired her to appear in were too cold.
Justice Weaver sold that courts
action was an "uncharitable conclu-
sion.' He also refers to the case of
the Philadelphia baseball club against
the far-famed Lajoie, who was COM
PEELED to bat home runs for Philadel-
phia though his heart was centered in
the success of a rival team.
The supreme court of Iowa would be
inclined to give him a free pass In
