Mining Reporter Objects to Statements
of Metallic Saving

The extravaganccs and absurditics of
many OF the mining items. appearing
press-and even in widely circulated
dailies OF large ciIles-ls unfortunate for
the industry. Many Of them are so pal
pably ridiculous and unreasonable as to
make superflnouS OH our part any COM
ment thereon or refutation thereof, Oc-
caslonally, however. there come TO our
notice specific statements. so naringly
absurd and unbelievable TO those versed
In mining matters that We cannot re-
frain from saving word or two, says
the Mining Reporter.
For instance, we now have before us
three items relative to operations and
value recovery at milling plants One is
from Washington state weekly, and is
to the effect that a certain mill employ
commercial recovery OF 9S.3 per cent of
the gold and silver values in $50 ore;
another is from a Nevada journal, and
states that lit is worthy OF coYsidcra-
ton In these days" to know that the
--latest improved machinery at a newly
built plant makes possible the recovery
which Is taken from Colorado paper.
gives the pleasing information that the
remodeing of the cyanide plant has re-
suited in the extraction Of $40 per cent
ore,
We are never surprised\ to run across
such Wild statements as these jn the
columns of paper remote from mining
localities, But their publication In the
the press of mining camps Is lDeNcusable.
The editors Of these local, papers as
suredly are. or ought 10 be, better posted
on metalurgical matters than to give
space to such eXaggerations. No reputa-
BILE metalurglst would be bold enough
TO make so unreserved a statement nor
will the average mine operator believe
Il. The uninformed investor may, how
overland In this lies the greatest harm
For should he chance to he interested
in the particular property, or one in
tho same, or even one in any other
locality, he will expect a similar value
recovery
The n,etallursist, mill superintendent or
manager at the Investors property Will
be expected to render as satisfactory
an account OF reduction operations, and
i'm falling TO do SO will surely be counted
out as "untit." II will end in the in
vestor discreditng the mining industry
To be sure. such cases may be rare
and yet we have known OF several In
defense of the local editors, we must
admit that Very often they are misled
by the conversational statements OF the
metallurgist or mill superintendent MANY
OF the latter. as VIC know from EXPERT
euce, give out Information as to percent
age OF values recovered which is eyagser-
ated and metallur!sically nonattainable.

NEVADA NEEDS MANY
GOOD MINING MEN
American Mining Engineers in
the Lead Wherever
They Roam.

The alluring bait for Americans TO
| emigrate TO foreign countries is higher
pay for their services. II is evident
| though, that the newer districts In Ne
Vada, California and Alaska afford an
equal opportunity TO gain both reputation
and fortune. for there are problems to
be solved in mining, transportation and
knowledge and unusual perseverance.
SAYS the Mining World. Opportunity,
rather than luck, has become the guild
ing star OF the younger American mining
engineers and metalurSists. To win fnme
and fortune these young men have pitched
their tents In the gold and diamond fields
OF South Africa, the gold fields of Aus
tralia, the coal fields of China, the gold
fields OF Japan, the copper. gold and silver
nelds of Mexico and South America, the
gold and copper fields of Alaska. the
In fact. nearly everywhere can the sue
cess OF the mining industry in recent
years be traced to the enterprise Of the
professional American.
This "wanderlust' in the American is
somewhat different from the trait which
is so prominent In the Rriton and Ger
rule, the professional American Will stick
TO the last, determined to make a sue
cess OF his work, thinking 1t obligatory,
he may be from home. The Briton who
is inherently world-trotter often takes
a chance In opening n mine for the specu-
!dllNt tHC'LtI!lcUl WHICH IL may cause
on the London stock exchange, Instances
can be given where the British directors
have been compelled (as a last resort
TO prevent the bankruptcy OF their COR
poration) 20 engage the services OF an
American engineer whose dislntercsted
report in the mine re-established the con-
ldence of shareholders.
To be sure there are a number OF
able British engineers, who stand high In
their profession. but they are generally
employed on British soil, II Is the Cor
nsh miner whom we find In various
parts of the United States. not the Brit
ish mining engineer, A suggestive aues-
tion arises here: Is the professional
Briton doing as much for the United
States as the professional American has
accomplished for the United Kingdom?
And is there gainsaylng OF the fact that
American skill I'm mining and metallurgy
has oDtributed largely TO the enormous
gold output OF $1l9.6o9.313 in the Trans
vaal last year?
The German. as well as the Japanese,
when he visits foreign mining and metal
lurgical centers, usually stays long enough

the same practices IN the country OF his

professional or tradesman, emgratcs 10
America he usually stays, takes out his

THE MAIN QUESTION.

Taking official figures for it, the city
administration has now an overdraft
in the general funds amounting TO over
S40o 900; and this does not include any
part of the huge outstanding indebted
ness due Moran and other contractors,
for which no warrants have yet been
issued.
Against the $400, 900 overdraft, the ad-
ministration claims an offset of about
sos, 900 held in special funds. These
funds belong to the property owners,
who have paid them as assessments fol
sidewalks and other public work
Every dollar of the money is pledged
to pay for the work when completed
not one cent of 1t is available for city
expenses. and it represents just that
much of burden laid upon the prop
erty owner in addition to his regular
taxes for city purposes.
With 100000 of this years taxes al
ready spent; with probably another
s100, 600 which will be required to pay
outstanding Indebtedness. and with two
months of the year yet to be paid for,
the taxes now being collected will be
exhausted as fast as they are paid.
About 100000 more has been spent
for water and sewer purposes, which
has TO be met in some way. The ST.
00O. 600 raised for this purpose has been
exhausted, and in addition expenses
have been incurred TO the amount of
slO0.00 which have to be provided for.
Inevitably this will come from the gen.
eIal funds unless the administration
has the temerity to propose another
bond issue. which is unlikely.
No matter who is elected or what is
done between now and the first of the
year, the city's finances are in bad
shape and the utmost care will be need
ed to meet the most economical re-
:2pirsmsnts pf the next two TeaEs.

BANKS IN GOOD CONDITION.

In considering the present money
stringency prevailing in the city OF
New York, it should be remembered
that in reality this situation does moi
in any way affect the country at large
because of the sound condition OF
banks everywhere outside of New
York. and also because of the unparal-
leled prosperity of the country in az
riculture, manufacturing and COM
merce.
In a recent report it has been shown
that banks throughout the country
have available cash largely i'm excess
of the reserve they are required t. car
ry by law. While it is true that high
interest rates have generally pre-
vailed of late, this condition of
affairs is actually beneficial. When
ever the rates are higher than
normal they act as a check upon
unhealthy and eXtravagant expansion
of business interests, which might 9TH
erwise accompany prosperity such as
We are now enjoying.
A canvass among the bankers of this
city shows that there is not the slight
est reason for an uneasiness on the
part of anyone, as they show not only
strength in their financial condition.
put also enjoyment of a steady in
crease of patronage.
