INExPLICABLE SILENCE

The pmistents uence OF he Denver press with regard to Southern Nevada
mines ad stocks, is mystfying. The Denver papers al a rule, are wdeawak
The Rocky Mountain News in the morning and the Denver Post in the evening
have no rivals in enterprise and aggressiveness in collecting and attractvely pre-
sentng the general news Of the day. They ire the great papers of the inter
states- the mining states-and to those papers al enormous constituency
has always looked for the new of the mining camps of the country But tin the
of the greatest industry Of the west they are curiously provincial and
entirely deficient. Not that the mining editors OF these papers are ignorant
their work or unambiOus. There are 10 better posted mining editors in the
west than Captain James Smith of the News and General Frank Hall of thu Post
but they seem to be restricted both in space and allowance in their department
for what they print is meagre and mostly scisored, confined almost exclusively to
a few camps of Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona.
For fear that the pacidity that has settled down overc Colorado mining may
W luued our friends of the Denver press into a sweet delusion hat there is
nothing doing elsewhere, we would respectfully punch them gently in the ribs and
call their attention to Southern Nevada just 10Y the sceneo If the greatest gold
development in the country; and unless their interest in such matters has suffered
he sam depression as Colorado mining shares, W would also remind them that
there is a greater business done in Nevada mining stocks and more money is
changing hands 1t a profit than anywhere else in the country This stock trading
is lot local., but spreads overev ery state of the union; therefore in printing quota
tions on Nevada mining shares these papers would not be doing the market any
special good, as it was built up without their aid, tut would BIZ of benefit to
themselves as journals OF national circulation. Of course there was a time
when there vas n excusef for not printing these quotations. that was before the
exchange vas started and prices were nt trustworthy. ut there is al
exchange; quotations are official mi represent tn exact market; equal care is
taken o n thise exchange al with any other in the country to insure fau quotations
and honest transactions and as interestin Nevada stocks extends throughout the
country, here is certainly as much reasonfO for their publication in Denver papers
al quotations on Boston and New York mining shares that are mribund and of
limited trading.
But the fact that these great papers should ignore the Nevada stock market
is not SO much to be marvened at ast their seemingly studied silence OF the general
mining development of thisse section. To be surea strike of $50 orei in PM mining
camp of Colorado may be Of morei interest to he denizens of that camp han the
opening ~ of great lodges of $500 ore in Nevada; but not 10 the mining world
generally. Nevada is literally the Field OF the Cloth If Cold Any IN of
the great camps of recent discovery in his state rivals the Oldest producing
camps of the United states an here are to be found several Cripple Greek,
New camps Of great promise are springing into notice almost every week, ad.
with the influx of many mining men and much capital Southern Nevada will
astonish the world. This is not the efervescence OF the enthusiast or thu vapr
ings and twaddle Of the fake promoter. The papers of the country which do not
to the Importance of the growing greatness of Nevada IS a producer of gdd
not only display their unworhiness to occupy a place in the field of modern
journalism and al opponents of the progress of their country, but work a positive
injury to their own business influence and standing
