FROM NEVADA EDITORIAL PENS

There is as much to be said in
favor of Congressman Bartlet's pro-
posed bill to prevent the lapsing of
mining claims through the failure OF
doing this years assessment work,
as there is against it, If not consider
ably more The Journal has received
large number of communications
upon the subject and would like to
print them, but this paper is cramped
for space.
We say this so that our CORE
spondents WI understand that we
have read and appreciated their ar
guments both for and against such a
bill. The men who have done their
assessment work already, it would
appear, have objections to favoring
others that could be overcome were
some provision to be made in the
proposed bill that would allow
assessment work already completed
to count on next years work. This,
however, may be a misunderstanding.
At the same time, We cannot too
earnestly urge upon every holder OF
a claim, the assessment work upon
which ought to be performed under
the existing. statutes by the end OF
December, the warning of the Gold
field Tribune, which says, and very
truly, upon this very subject:
ANY suggestion or relief measure
designed to protect the locator must

ular session, which convenes during

luton waving the annual assessment

CONSISTENT KICKERS.

More or less is heard from the
kickers because of irregularity of
Nevada Northern passenger trains in
making arrival at this end of the
line. This complaint is among Others
they have called to the attention of
the railroad commission
What a howl would go up from
the organized disturbers were the
Nevada Northern to conclude of
sudden that its train should not wait
at Cobre for the Southern Pacific
connections from east and west; that
the close financial times justified
cutting out the expense of overtime
for train crews and other employees
which waiting on the Southern Pa
cific entails and that the inconveni-
ence made for the road in various
ways by reason of delayed trairs
should be stopped.
What a howl would go up!
How they would roar about an al
legged tyrannical railroad manage
ment which declined even to give
the public the convenience of eastern
and western mail daily and of ex-
press service daily, to say nothing of
compelling passengers to wait as
much as "a hours at Cobre for train
into Ely. How our friends of the
Impostor and the Record would tear
their hair in fine frenzy about being
unable to get their exchanges and
their letters until moss had grown
over the covers. What a blankety
blank outfit the railroad people would
be-
Yet they howl today about late
trains, made late, SO far as the Ne.
vada Northern is concerned, for the
convenience of the public and al
expense and annoyance to the rail
road. Consistent, this bunch? Sure
And just as consistent in this matter
as in others affecting the railroad.
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1907-11-15

The idea of Congressman Bartlett,
as expressed in his announcement of
intention to endeavor to secure pass
age of an act relieving claim owners
from doing assessment work this
year, is distinctly for the protection
of those engaged in the states great
est industry, mining. AS he says,
this was done in 1893 with splendid
results, many honest men being
given assistance at that time which
enabled them to tide over and, in the
case of not few, later to make good.
The object of the congressman to do
good for all of his constituents in this
matter cannot be questioned. No,
do we doubt but that the good re-
sultant from RENTING assessment
work for the year as is proposed
would far outweigh any evil that
practice of imposition might bring
about.

THE BUILDING OF ELY CITY.

For a locality in which there is
nothing and never will be-" accord
ing to the evening paper, Ely City
gets a good deal of attention from
the gentleman responsible for the as
sertion, who is also a strong sup
porter of the correctness in detail of
the complaint now before the rail
road commission in the matter of the
Nevada Northern.
AS near as we have been able to
make out the sum and substance of
that complaint is that the railroad
declines a freight depot at Ely be-
cause of the fact that it has ample
quarters of that kind at Ely City,
put there and maintained there in
order to boost the growth of Ely
City.
Consistent again, is the gentleman
of the evening publication. If the
freight depot at Ely City is nothing
and never will be anything, because
there lis nothing and never will be
anything" at Ely City, then what the
deuce is there to boost and what does
Ely want with nothing" which is
the heading under which the Impos-
tor puts the freight depot.
AS matter of fact Ely City repre-
sents investment of more real money
in improvements today than has evei
been put into Ely, all told. More
than that, Ely City in building has
given Ely more free advertising,
brought more money into its trade
channels and more people to it than
the kickers of the town on their own
initiative could accomplish in a mil
lion years of existence with a mil
lion dollars year to work with.
More, the building of Ely City has
been of large advantage to all of the
state of Nevada and to every interest
therein. 1t has drawn the attention
of the world and shown that a big,
modern town, affording all that
health and comfort may convey, is
justified by the immense copper de-
posits of this section of Nevada
which have been added to the states
great mineral wealth in gold, silver,
lead and other metals through the
efforts of those who have made Ely
City.
Is it fair, is it manly, is it decent,
hat such enterprise should be slurr-
ed; that effort should be made to
bring it into contempt and impede

guilty in this respect not deserving

EFFORT FOR THE MINING CON.
GRESS.

Enterprising citizens of Ely City
in the last several days have been
making earnest effort to secure the
next annual session of the American
Mining Congress. The News is hap
py to say that it has participated in
this effort and that the spirit of Ely
City and its earnest desire for the
next congress, together with facts
which should attract the mining men
at Joplin, have been made known to
the congress through hundreds of
copies of the News which have been
sent east this week for distribution
among the delegates.
1t will hardly be denied by even
the Impostor that should the next
session of the American Mining Con-
gress be brought here, a thing of
much value to the district will have
been accomplished. With possible
exception of the Impostor, however,
we feel pretty sure that everybody
in the district would be ready to con-
cede that the Ely City people had
accomplished much for the good of
all the district. Also we believe that
fair minded people throughout the
district will concede that in the fact
of the effort that has been made to
get the next congress, whether or not
it is attended with success, much
good has been already accomplished
for the district in bringing it promi-
nently before the people at Joplin
and in letting them know that we
have big copper camp here, both
in mineral resources and public
spirit, equipped and ready to enter
tain great gathering, international
in its scope.
In conclusion it is difficult to pass
over without notice the absolute 81 |
lence that has been maintained by |
