still hurry heavily over other portions
OF the state. Tonopah with its fabul-
Gus wealth was discovered, and a new
era In the history OF our state began.
The excitement following the develop
ments at Tonopah was not TO be COM
pared with those of earlier days when
the riches of the Comstock, of Austin,
of White Pine, and othe~ districts were
first brought to light. Hope had been
so long deferred In the hearts of our
people that II was hard to arouse much
enthusiasm at first. And 1t was just
as well that It was so. A pell neil rush
Of vast multltudes Of lmpecunlous men
to new mining district is always pro-
ductive of great suffering to many, and
It Is generaN followed by reaction
from which recovery Is a slow and
painful process. In this respect Tono-
pah has been peculiarly fortunate. The
rush was never so great but that the
crowd could be fairly accommodated,
while the values were so high, so near
the surface and so widely distributed,
that large numbers OF moderate for
tunes were speedily made and the car
put upon a paying basis almost from
the first stroke Of the prospector's pick.
THE DEMONSTRATION.
The later developments, proving the
great depth and continued richness OF
Tonopah's mines, give an assurance or
permanency to the district and stamp 1t
as one of the mining wonders OF the

world. One of the most successful and
best informed operators in the dis
trict expressed the opinion In my hear
ing a short time ago that Tonopah has
100000, 900 worth of gold and silver In
sight. If this Is approximately true,
there Is no reason to doubt that the
district will fairly rival either Virginia
City IN this state or Butte, Montana,
for II is not to be imagined that the
wealth of Tonopah is all exposed. With
two hundred millions in sight 1t Is rea-
sonable 20 believe that there Is several
times that amount within comparative
ly easy reach.
THE RISE OF GoLDFIELD.
But Tonopah Is only one small spot
in the great mineral belt of southern
Nevada. That town has been the pro-
life mother of many others, some of
which even exceed the older camp in
actual wealth. OF these the first and
most important In developed riches Is
Goldfed, 20 miles due south. 1t is
diflicult-nay impossible, to do justice
10 Goldheld without appearing to be in
dulging in extraVagances. Every
stranger who comes here TO investigate
conditions expects to be disappointed
and he generally Is. He finds the ac-
tual conditions, both of the mines and
of the town, better, far better than he
had anticipated. The mines of Gold
field have not been proved to such n
depth as those OF Tonopah, but the area
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1906-12-15

of known values is much greater, and
there Is no reason to doubt that the
values will continue with depth. 1t
would be presumption In me to attempt
to discuss the merits of Goldheld from
the standpoint of either scientific or
practical mining. Nor would IL be In
got taste to make invidious COMPARE
sons between them.
DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTICS.
Ooldfeld and Tonopah The two
camps are quite different In their char
Scteristics, but unlees the practical
and scientific mining men of both are
badly mistaken In their judgment, both
are essentially great. The Goldfeld
district, includes Columbia and Da-
mondfeld and roughly speaking, the
district as proved is about six miles
square. Within this area there are
seven or eight immensely rich mines,
already developed to the dividend
point, and II Is morally certain that the
next ~ months will see the number
of paying properties doubled, and per-
haps trebled, for now strikes are being
constantly made at brief intervals.
When one considers that Butte's pro-
duction of something like $500 5000
has nearly all been taken from an
area of about 400 acres, II Is hard to
draw a limit upon the possibilities of
Goldheld. 1t may not be out of place
to observe that Goldheld has an adj
! vantage over Tonopah IN that here

THE WAR UPON SILVER.
In 1873 the warfare upon silver be-
gan, and 1t Is one OF the strangest
OF anomalies that the most potent
factor in striking the white metal from
its monetary pedestal was the nation
which was the largest producer OF the
metal and consequently the most
deeply interested In maintaining It's
value, as well as the value Of every
thing that Is measured in terms of
money. For time the great riches OF
the Comstock, the Base Range. Pr
oche, Austin, Tuscarora. Candelaria
and other districts kept the state In
n fair but constantly lessening degree
Of prosperity. The enactment Of the
"Bland-Alllson law" OF 1878, and the
SHERMAN law Of 1890. checked the
decline Of the metal, and enabled our
mining industry to struggle on al
though under q most serious handi-
cap. But in 1898 the last crushing
blow came. The mint of india was
closed to silver coinage on private
account, and the so-called sherman
law" was repealed by the American
Congress In less than a week after
the British order In council stopped
private coinage in India silver lost
nearly one-fourth Of It's value IN the
markets OF the world, while the re-
peal of the sherman law" not only
prevented recovery, but forced the
price TO q still lower level In Nevada
silver mining was almost paralyzed'
and the people were in despair

rhe High sohool Controversy

Prof. L. V. Jackson, who has been
principal of the high school here for the
last four years took the train for Mon
tana last Wednesday. His leaving at
this time is rather to be deplored as the
| term is not finished, but on account Of a
difference Of opinion between Mr.. Jack
son and the school board in regard to
some small matters, such as the issueing
Of a program Of exercises 10 take place
at the closing Of the term, has cuminat-
ed in this hasty action This is very
much regretted by many of the parents
and patrons of the school.
1t is conceded by all we think without
a single exception that Mr.. Jackson has
made an excellent teacher, and that his
work during all these years has not been
exceled by any of his predecessors, and
that he has given good satisfaction, both
to the parents and to the scholars un.
der his charge. We think it barely pos
sible that both the board and Mr.. Jack
son have been a little hasty, and per
haps the board little too severe on Mr..
j., who with confidence that he under
stood his business, was doing his duty
as he saw it. and believing that he was
right he would not submit to be repri.
manded.
In another column in this paper will
be found statement signed by the
school board, and as it seems but right
that both sides should be given hear
ing TO set themselves right before the
community, who will then be better
able to Judge of the merits of the con
troversy, space will be accorded to Mr.
Jackson should he desire to make reply
to the statement of the school board
Altogether it is an unfortunate affair
and we very much regret its occurance.

A majority Of the Custer delegates are
believed by many to be anti-Martin.
Just how this was brought about, if it is
so, need not be stated at this time
There is not shadow of doubt, that had
it not been understood that there was
no opposition to Mr. Martin the result
in this precinct would have been differ
ent, and there would not now be any
doubt as 10 the complexion of the dele
cation. A large majority of the people
in Custer precinct, as well as throughout
the whole Of Custer county, are favoring
Mr.. Martin for United States senator.
The list of delegates from the other
precincts so far as heard from would in
dicate that the county viii send a Mar,

CLAIMED FOR srAhwARrs.

Black Hills last Tuesday, Congressman
Martin, candidate for United States sen.
ator, aud the organization ticket, were
victorious According to reports from
Deadwood, Col Parker and the insur.
gents will not get % of the l54 delegates

get as large number as that.
Advices from the state indicate that
the result has been very close, both the
stalwarts and insurgents claiming the
state.

Times from the Sioux Falls Argus Lead
er Wednesday evening SAYS Complete
returns give stalwarts 709, insurgents

Stockholders Organize.

As per announcement made last week,

committee that had been appointed at a
previous meeting to ascertain how much
money could be raised toward sinking
the artesian well at this place at great
er depth in hopes Of striking the arte-
sian basin and getting a good flow of wa
ter. The committee reported that
81 10000 had been subscribed. Mr.. f.
NJ, Stewart had taken the matter up
with Mr.. Hughes. Of the Northwestern
railroad company, and they gave the
project much encouragement, and it is
now quite certain the company stands
ready to put at least 81 100000 into the
project. At the above mentioned meet.
ing, two propositions were authorized to
be submitted TO the railroad company.

Land for SO Cents an Acre.

! Homestead entries on the Great Sioux
reservation can he commuted on pay
ment of 80 cents an acre instead of 81 %
as in other portions of the public do
J main. This, says the Black Hills Union,
, is the gist of communication which
has been received by the local office
from the department of the interior, and
it is important to many persons who in
tend to settle in this district.
The Great Sioux reservation begins
on the Nebraska line and extends north
on the l03d meridian to the intersection
of the south fork of the Cheyenne, up
| the Cheyenne to the Belle Fourche
river; west on the Belle Fourche to the
| l03d meridian and thence north. This
! land was formerly sold by the govern.
ment for the benefit of the Sioux In
dians. It's original price as fixed by the
act of 1889 was 81 .25 per acre. After five
years its price was lowered to Is cents
per acre, and at the end of five years
more to 80 cents per acre 1t was fur
ther provided in the act that any land
remaining unsold after a certain lapse
of time should be bought in by the gov
ernment at price of 80 cents per acre
and become part of the public do
main.
All the conditions of the act have
been fulfilled and such part of the reser-
walton as has remained unsold has been
bought by the national government at
the 80 cent price. As this land is part
of the public domain and not included
| in any reserve it is Of course open for
settlement 1t was at first thought that
all the rules applying to homestead en-
tries would apply to this. In such case
! ii a homesteader wished to commute
after his IA months OF residence he would
have had to pay Sl.25 an acre on receiy-
ing his patent. The department has de-
| cided that in this case however the 81 %
per acre rule does not apply, and settlers
may commute by paying only SO cents
/ per acre
We presume that this decision of the
department is based upon the theory
that such land having been sold for the
uniform price of 90 cents cannot be sold
for the higher figure without injustice.
