WANTS SILVER.
Government to Resume Purchase In
Large Amounts.

A recent dispatch from Wash
ington says: For the first time in
fourteen years the government an
nounces its purpose to purchase
silver for coinage purposes. Ten
ders are invited at the Offices of
the Philadelphia, New Orleans
and Denver mints every Wednes-
day until further notice. Settle
ment to be on the New York basis

The treasury reserves the right
to reject all tenders or accept such
part of any tenders as may suit its
convenience. 1t is understood
that, anticipating that its reap
pearance as a purchaser might
temporarily disturb the market
unduly, the treasury has obtained
control of considerable amounts
for future delivery, SO that it is in
position to drop out of the
market for several months if de-
sirable.
The average requirements of
the treasury throughout the year
will probably not exceed 100000
ounces per week, and it will be

Big Mining Deal.

The Nevada Company, incor-
porated several days ago, and
whose members are mostly Utah
people, has purchased the Doug
las group of copper claims in
Douglas county, the price being
$4,000 in cash, from ]. Miller.
The purchasers have also bought
water site from Mrs. Hoye, pay
ing $1,000 for it. The company
expects to begin greater develop
ment work at once, and they al
ready have thirty-five men at
work on their claims. One hund-
red thousand dollars will be ex-
pended in improvements and per
fecting the water site, and then
smelter will be erected.
The above item has been going
the rounds of the State press for
the past week or more. We be-
lieve it originated in the Carson
News. 1t is about the most badly
twisted piece of news we have
ever read; in fact there is but one
thing true in it, and that is the
sale of the mine, and that took
place so long ago that it is old
news to every mining man of
prominence in the United States.
The Douglas property is not stu
ated in Douglas county, but is in
Lyon. The price paid for the
property, as mentioned above, is
out of the way by a great many
thousands of dollars, and every
thing about the item is so inaccur-
ate that it does an injustice to one
of the greatest copper mines in
this State. When the sale of the
property took place the details of
the transaction were published in
the TIMES, and copied by Salt
Lake papers and mining journals.
The information was correct, but
the State papers were too slow to
get it.

the policy of the department,

the policy of the department,
while keeping a reasonable
amount on hand, SO to distribute
its purchases throughout the year,
that its demand will be uniform
and not an element of uncertainty
in the market.
From the resumption of specie
payments in 1879 down to the
year 1900, the constant in
crease in the stock of subsidiary
coin required by the growing pop
ulation and trade of the country
was supplied by the recoinage of
old and uncurrent subsidiary coins
which accumulated in the treasury
under the resumption act in 1900.
AS this stock was running low,
authority was given in the none
tary act of March IA to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to divert bull
lion purchased under the Act of
July ID, 1890, in the coinage of
silver dollars to the coinage of
subsidiary pieces. Under this
authority about $33,ooo,ooo has
been coined since 1900.
The stock of bullion in the
treasury was exhausted more than
a year ago, and since then no bull
lion has been available for subsi-
diary use.

c. d. Rooklidge returned yes

the properties of the Wheeler
Gold Mines Company and the
Yerington Copper Company
in the Mason Valley country.
He went primarily to look after
the delivery of mill material at the
Wheeler property, but washouts
have so cut up the roads that it
will be several days before teams
can get over them heavily loaded.
At the Yerington Copper Com
pany's property Mr.. Rooklidge
says the campaign of development
is going merrily on, and that. just
to convince the skeptics, he
planned for the shipment of a car
load or two of ore that he is will
ing to wager will average r6 to IS
per cent. copper.
He says the country is lively
for this time of year. All of the
big copper companies are crowd
ing development and the showing
being made is going to count be-

Ministry for Foreign Affairs has been
oftenest in the hands of a Magyar.
AUSTRIA Hungary has been called a
museum of political curiOsities, but the
oldest thing in it is the position Of the
three imperial Ministers fof Foreign
Affairs, for War and for Finance. Their
true source of power lies obviously in
the two parliaments, but to these they
have no access. They are prohibited
from being members either Of the els
Lothian or Of the Hungarian Cabinet.
They cannot, therefore, lead those bod
les, and that they cannot be controlled
by them except through a refusal Of
supplies was shown in 1878, when the
| annexation Of Bosnia was carried through
by the joint Ministers against the wishes
Of both legislatures. The joint Minis
ters are not responsible either to the
delegations, although they can be indi-
rectly controlled by them, as in the pres
ent instance, through the refusal Of the
Magyar delegation to vote for the COM
mon budget.
The downfall of Count GoLUCHowsKI
is due, of course, to the triumph Of the
coalition of Government parties
at Budapest, a coalitioN in which Kos
sUTH, the son of the famous patriot,
and Count APPoNYI have been conspicu-
ously active. In order to avert a crisis
that threatened civil war in Hungary
the Emperor-King consented to appoint
a Hungarian Cabinet from the coalition
Of anti-G Government parties, On o n
dition that the demand for the substitu-
ton of Magyar words Of command in
the place of German should be waived
for the present, and on condition also
hat the Diet should devise a scheme
for universal suffrage. The Magyars do
not want universal suffrage, for they are
outnumbered by other nationalities in the
Hungarian kingdom, but those alien ele-
ments are more opposed to one another
than they are to the Magyars, and an
effort will be made so to distribute seats
in the Table of Deputies as to render
probable the maintenance of a Magyar
majority.
Meanwhile KossUTH and APPOINT are
not only masters of the Hungarian Diet,
but have just shown their power to domi-
nate the delegations, and perhaps will
clinch their victory by demanding that
GoLUCHowsKI's successor shall be Count
MENsDoRFV, who isiAPPONYI's brother
in-law.

there was n State election; Binghamton,

1895, or 1877 more than in 1902; Rome,
4,l69, or 24I more than last year, and
Ogdensburg makes a record with 3,O65.
In all these cities there are large or
considerable manufacturing interests and
therefore there is an organized labor vote
which WILLIAM r. HEARST is s~edulously
~oultivating. 1t may be presumed that
his managers, with a liberal fund for he
purpose, have not neglected the bust
ness Of registration. We assume that
in the agricultural districts, where the
Hearst propaganda has made no per-
ceptible impression, the Republicans have
not been caught mapping. As Mr..
HUGHES is reasonably sure Of a full
Republican vote in the country and the
support of Democrats to whom WILLIAM
r. HEARST is Odious, il would be the
part Of wisdom for the Republican man
ager to devote most Of their remaining
time to those manufacturing towns
where the Independence League-Demo-
cratic candidate and his subsidized
agents are leaving nothing undone TO
capture the labor vote.
The more Mr.. HUGHES is seen, heard
and tested by personal contact in the
industrial centres, the more emphatic
will be the verdict against Hearstism.
A heavy registration in this State when
an appeal is being made to the indie
pendent voter has always been followed
by the defeat of an unworthy candidate,
and this year the common welfare de-
mands that the defeat should be made
overwhelming.

These are two failures Of organized
effort to do wholesale what has been
done 70 easily and so pleasantly by in
dividuals all over the Pacific. Ever since
the South Sea has been known men have
yielded to the magic Of the island charm,
have jumped their ships and have settled
on tropic beaches in peace and the

island, and there are thousands, has had
it's beachcomber doing without difficulty
just what the organized Sun Brothers

He is known only as JIMMY, but in the
early days Of Samoa he backfred against
the missionaries by convert
ing almost all Upolu to a new religion,
the worship OF the divine James, being
himself. The day OF the beachcomber
is by no means passed. He still lives on
hundreds Of islands reef grit and sonOr-
GUS with the susurrus of palm leaves
tossing in the cooling trade wind. For
him all the charms of nature come with
out effort; his life is full and complete
and rubbed to a polish and rotund.
In the simple life of beachcombing the
individual wins. It eludes the effort OF
