1.-TWO Years ago
GOIdfield was a
Great Camp.
Zone Year ago
it was Greater.
",NO.w it is the
GREATEST IN
THE WORLD
u. S. Senator George Nixon.

'.The results in Goldfeld verify my
first predictions said United States
Senator Nixon yesterday when inter
viewed by a News representative.
Two years ago Goldheld was a great
camp a year ago it was greater and
now it is the greatest in the world. For
the next year and the next, the growth
will continue in geometrical progression,
for the half is not yet known Of the ore
deposits of this section of the state.
Nearly all the properties that have
been actively developed are showing
much better now than they did six
months ago This leads me to believe
that if the same policy is carried out
with the other PROPERTIES which have
not yet struck ORE they viii be equally
fortunate.
In regard to general business the
town was never so good as it is now
The brokers are making fortunes. The
local banks are overfowing with money
Fortunes will be made here in the
real estate business within the next year
or two. Up to the present time the min
ing business has attracted practically
all the attention and very little has been
done with such an important matter as
real estate.
PREDICTS REAL ESTATE BOOM
"One consideration that should not be
overlooked in the real estate situation
is the fact that the county seat will be
removed here from Hawthorne imme-
diately after the next session of the
Legislature Other developments, in ad-
dition to the opening up of the mines.
are destined to take place and l freely
prophesy that within two years Gold
field will take front rank, CHASING with
the leading cities of the Pacific coast.
AS TO THE MERGER
CAS- to our fifty million dollar mer-
ger, it speaks for itself. One of the
effects will be that the money from the
the Goldfeld mines, instead of upbuild-
ing eastern cities and erecting trans
Atlantic palaces, wtll he expended in en-
richihg the cities of Nevada and bring
ing the rgeat commonwealth to the
front"

DEVELOPMENTS ON BOOTH

Development work alone is being done
in the Booth mine at present. The ore
is being systematically exposed in the
north and south drifts on the 275-foot
level. and the former has been driven
100 feet while the latter has gone in 40
feet The vein varies considerably as
to width, i'm parts narrowing down to
feet and widening out again to over
80 feet. The rock is mostly milling
though with quite little of shipping
grade. A big station is now being con-
strueted at the 275-foot level and as
soon as things can be got in shape a
crosscut Will be started west in order
to find If possible north and south
ledge coming from the Red Top terri
tory.

The finding of the Mohawk ore in the
Combination Fraction ground. was the
result OF scientific mining, and Messrs-
LOTUS, Davis and Sweeney figured With
mathematical accuracy when they un-
dertook their lease on Fraction ground.
IL was not a matter of luck. Others
for two years were mining on this
ground but never produced pound of
ore Messrs. LOTUS, Davis and Sweeney,
well known as among the most scientific
mining men OF Nevada, went over the
Fraction ground. and after thorough cx-
animation, made up their mind that the
Mohawk ore body was TO be found up1n
that ground and figured out 70 q nicety
at exactly what deIth. They began
shaft on the first day of August. Within
100 days. that shaft was lowered to the'
depth OF 43O feet. and ''plunk" into the
Mohawk ore body. The shaft is now
into that ore body IL feet. and It is i'm
possible OF course TO tell how much
deeper the ore extends. The ore is the
Mohawk orc in every appearance and
carries values as great as the richest
ore ever produced from any Of the leases
of tsat=xc..JrFfu; property
DIFF OF THE MOHAWK
The strike of the Mohawk ledge Is
southwest, but the dip of the ore is
down. and 10 the southeast. The angle
downward is about degrees. The
Hayes -Monnette got the ore shoot at
ia feet Mackenzie got the ore shoot
100 feet east, at the depth of 230 feet
The LOTUS s-Davis-Sweeney lease is still
276 feet from tho Mackenzie shaft,
southeast, and the ore shoot was en-
countered at depth of 430 feet. This
shows an incline of about 35 degrees.
The Loftus-Davis ground will be
worked with the most modern machin-
cry and with the most scientific meth
DDS. The lease could ship at once, so
far as the ore is concerned. But it
takes equipment to hoist and care for
the ore. The management has begun
erecting ore bins, and has ordered by
telegraph 50-horse power hoist, pumps
and air drills and compressors. and they
are now ON the way via Wells-Fargo ex-
press Freight is too slow to meet the
conditions, for every day means many
thousands of dollars.
The Combination Fraction Is a verit-
able storehouse of wealth, according TO
present appearances. 1t is possibly the
richest acreage in the entire district.
There several other leases on this
ground that are going toward the center
of the earth with all possible steam, and
II is not unlikely that this little acreage
will produce upwards of $5.00O00O in
gold. There are other ore bodies on this
acreage beside the Mohawk. 1t appears.
The Altinger lease, 800 feet southeast
of the Davis lease, has ore but
nearer the surface. and it is different
vein. The Burns lease, between Loftus-
Davis and the Combination, is also re-
ported to be in ore. What was known
as the Lindsay or Side Hill lease, now
owned by the Combination Fraction
Leasing and Mining company,
has every indication of ore although it
is the intention to push to 400 feet or
more, before exploring. All leases are
equipped With heavy machinery and are
backed by enough money 10 go to the
center of the earth. Before long the
Combination Fraction will be known
possibly as the richest fraction of
ground known To the world of mining

Publicity Of Campaign Funds.

The control by trusts and trust
magnates of party organizations
through the weight of heavy subscrip-
tions to campaign funds must be
stopped II the republic is to escape the
growing tendency to oligarchism. The
crisis has been reached. The facts
have been In part officially exposed
in the insurance investigation. When
the truth thus stands disclosed beyond
doubt or question, the American people
must act by compelling Congress and
the state legislatures to pass acts that
will put an end to such dangerous and
utterly vicious practices, else pluto
cratism will become fully established.
Perry Belmont and his associates
believe that publicity is the best rem
edy. and SO 1t would be if a bill can be
drawn that would cut off all subter-
fuges. For example, if a trust mag
nate desires 10 SuDSCIlDS 9OO,UVV W d
campaign committed to standpatism,
how can he be kept from procuring
the names of ten capitalists who will
put their names down for $4,000 each,
the trust to furnish the money? There
are scores of ways in which rascally
and slick magnates can circumvent a
publicity bill. and it should be drawn
to meet if possible all contingencies.
The measure is non-partizan, but
1t is noticeable that thus far the gum
shoed managers of the republican
party are not getting behind Perry
Belmont. Let the bill be presented,
however, and let the responsibility for
it's failure be put where it belongs. II
the republicans pigeon-hole or defeat
1t, let that fact stand out. 1t will be
needed in 1908.

Suicides in Two Cities.

In New York city there were last
year 576 suicides, while in Chicago,
which has but half the population,
there were 453. Chicago was, there
fore, the more pessimistic city of the
two.
The percentages that run all
through the records Of the cases of
the year in the two cities were gen
orally approximate. For example, the
women suicides in New York were 22.2
per cent of the en,lre number; in Chi
cago they were 21.S per cent. The
suicides throughout the country no
doubt were on like lines-four men to
one woman.
In New York 33 per cent adopted
shooting as cure for all their Ills;
in Chicago, 35 per cent. Gas was the
agent of % per cent in New York; in
Chicago Of Is per cent. Carbolic acid
was used by IA per cent in New York;
by II per cent in Chicago.
In New York 35 per cent of the
suicides were Americans; in Chicago,
40 per cent. 1t will thus be seen that
two foreign born persons sought death
voluntarily where one native did. More
Germans commit suicide than Irish
men; more Irishmen than Bohemians,
and more Bohemians than Italians.
Only four Italians committed suicide
in Chicago last year, and but fifteen
in New York. The number of each
nationality in each of the two cities
is needful In order to study the sub
ject accurately, but 1t may safely be
assumed that the Italians are not, as
a rule, suicidally inclined. They are
rarely respondent.

These words of the Poet-Priest, Father
Ryan, written in commemoration Of the
great Confederate chleftain. came home
refreshingly to the people of Birmingham
yesterday. as indeed they did to descend
ants of Confederate soldiers throughout
the Union, when they remembered it was
the seth anniversary of the birthday OF
Robert z. Lee.
Said a well known man of culture last
night: THE anniversary, awakening as
it does the most ennobling memories and
reviving the fondest hopes, was observed
in Birmingham. To the Confederate vet
erans-the men whose greatest glory-and
there is none greater-was that they were
followers or at least comrades in arms of
General Lee-the day came as a benedio-
ton in their declining years. To the
younger generation it brought a message
that made their hearts. as it will make for
all time the hearts of true men every
where. beat high with patriotic fervor
and pride in their race.
1T was a holiday throughout the state
business being in great measure sus-
pended.
IN Birmingham where there is a large
contingent of northern men the anniver-
sary of General Lee was observed. The
feeling everywhere was that General Lee
what he did as well as what he was-his
achievement as well as his character
belong to the whole country. Here in this
industrial center of the south, everyone
realized that, as Col. Arthur Anderson of
Richmond said at the unwilling Of the Lee
monument in that city in 1890 for all the
stupendous wealth and power. which in
the last thirty years have lifted these
states to the foremost rank among the
nations of the earth, are less subject for
pride than this one heroic MANTLE hui
man product of our country and its insti-
tutions.'"

Guasses Versus Statistics

The estimates of acreage, condition
and yield of the cotton crop made by
the bureau of statistics of the depart
ment Of agriculture have been inves-
tigated by the Keep commission. Tho
commission finds there is nothing
arithmetical in the making Of those
estimates-that they are in fact
reached by 1.-The exercise of judg-
ment," which means that they are
simply guesses. And yet $4,000 per
sons assist in the making of those
guesses. The final guessers are, how
ever, but four persons living in Wash
ington, where no cotton is grown.
Very likely the four never saw a cotton
patch.
The Keep commission has little faith
In the work of the $4,000, and 1t rec
ommends that the entire business be
transferred to the census bureau. This
is the common sense of the situation.
The entire army of individuals and
town correspondents should be cut off,
for they furnish nothing of value
nothing that is needed even at Wash
ington. mot only" says the Keep
commission should the acreage
planted be determined by the census
bureau by a process of enumeration,
but the ginning statistics of the census
should be the only government reports
on the yield. BY abandoning the early
ginning statistics of the census bureau
enough money can be saved to enable
the census bureau to ascertain the
acreage planted.
The Keep commission has simply
recommended what all intelligent OBJ
servers have long been convinced of,
namely, that actual statistics gathered
by the census bureau are far better
than the guesses of the agricultural
department, or of any other organiza-
ton. The guess business is in dis
favor, and the Keep commission has
simply expressed public sentiment on
that subject.

Irleand's Good Luck.

The sweep of the liberal wave will
almost certainly bring some sort OF
good fortune to Ireland. 1t would do
this even if the premier should secure
a majority over and above the follow
ers of Mr.. Redmond, for the premier
and all, or nearly all, of the cabinet
believe in the value and efficiency Of
home rule for ireland. They will not
bring in Home Rule bill, at least
not very soon, because the House OF
Lords would reject it on the ground
that the country had not approved
the subject, but lesser measures in
Irelands favor may reasonably be an
ticipated.
Premier Campbell Bannerman has
always been an enthusiastic home
ruler, and John Morley favors at all
times full measure of home rule.
Perhaps Mr.. Redmond will himself
force the issue, for he will have eighty
nationalists behind him, and there will
be at least fifty laborites and social
lists who will line up with him. Here
is a voting strength of 100 votes, and
such vote may become potential.
The plan of devolution that is so
much talked about, proposes an Irish
parliament to deal with private bills,
with Irish finance and other Irish
questions. but subordinate to the i'm
perial parliament The Dunraven
scheme looks to the establishment Of
a special council to submit estimates
of Irish needs to be raised by imperial
taxation In the whole kingdom, for ex-
penditure in ireland, with power to
supervise all departmental expendl-
lures, and to see that all administra-
tive savings be applied to the improve
ment of Irish government control, and
to the development of the country's
resources.
These are some of the features of
the devolution scheme, and it is but
fair to say that that scheme enrages
the tories, who say it is a sham be-
hind which tn p liberals will push upon
the country an autonomous Ireland
But whatever may be the way, it is
plain Ireland is inoluck, and that some

Marshall Field.

1.-The late Marshall Field and his bust
ness were known more widely in a BUSH
ness way, I suppose, than any other man
salesman from Chicago last night at
the Metropolitan hotel
Marshall Field commanded a clientele
which reached all round the globe In
almost every city, town and hamlet in
this country his name was practically a
household word, while his catalogues hung
with the patent medicine almanac, a thing
to be referred to as the ordinary man re-
fers to his city directory or telephone
book.
1T was with the rural residents how
ever, that the greatest amount of business
was transacted by the Field houses No
man who has not actually seen some of
the mail received at the Chicago head
quarters, can begin to appreciate what an
extensive territory was covered by the
silent statesmen of that firm. Incidental
ly, Marshall Field was the originator of
that term silent salesmen,' pseaning SAM
pies and catalogues and pay-on-delivery-
REORGANIZATION.
"A few days ago, while 1 was driving
cross country from one hamlet to an
other in South Alabama, my driver, a
stalwart young fellow upon tearing hail
ed from Chicago, asked for Information
about Marshall Field He wanted to know
particularly how big the establishment
was, and l told him. He then announced
that the clothes he wore, the hat, the
shoes. the buggy and harness he was then
using, all had come from that establish
ment. He volunteered the information
that many of his neighbors traded with
the same firm. What Mr.. Fields con-
Germ did for Chicago, one or two of the
large Birmingham firms are doing for this
city. l understand that one concern here
has already worked up an extensive mail
order trade"
