TARIFF EXPERTS
MAY VISIT EUROPE
: Decision Not Yet Reached,
Says Assistant Secretary
Reynolds.
Explains Workings of New
Trade Agreements

Whether Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury James B. Reynolds and United
States General Appraisers Devries and
Wait viii go to Europe next month TO
make a special examination in Eng
land, Germany, and France, Of the work
ings OF the new customs regulations
put into effect since the PRONUNCIATION
OF the new commercial agreement with
Germany, has not yet been dectded-
Assistant Secretary Reynolds who is
Acting Secretary in the absence OF
Secretary Cortelyou, said this morning
that the possibility of making such an
investigation had been considered, but
that 1t was yet too early to make
final decision.
There is a great deal Of misappre-
henslon and unjust criticism concerning
the new customs regulations. said Mr.
Reynolds today. THE impression that
the export price on goods from Ger
many is the purchase price. and must
be accepted by the appraisers as the
true value OF the goOos, has been gen
eral. whereas this Is not the case az
all There are many articles manufac-
tUred in Germany especially for the
American export trade. and for which
there is practically no market in Ger
many. Before the new regulations
went into effect these goods were ap-
praised al their market value a purely
fictitious one. for the reason that there
was no market value
'At present duties are assessed on
these goods at their actual value The
statistics so far do not show that the
= l..
cause of this change. and We shall have
TO have more evidence before the neces-
Eity OF looking into this particular mat
ter Is disclosed.
AS 10 accepting the statements OF
German. English. and French chambers
of commerce as 10 values Of exports
frcm these countries TO the United
States the erroneous impression has
been made that these statements must
be accepted BY our appraisers as final
whereas the agreements with those
countries distinctly stipulates that they
are to be accepted only as competent
evidence of values in connection with
al other evidence. 1t should also be
noted that the chambers whose state
ments are thus accepted are semi-offi.
cial bodies. In the case Of Germany
they are really governmental institu-
tons.
While Mr.. Reynolds and the appraiser,
may or may not go TO Europe il is
probable that a commission viii bt
sent to France in the fall in connection
with the negotiations for new trade
agreement with that country. Secre-
tary Root and Ambassador Jusserand
have brought the negotiations already
To an advanced stage, but the necessity
for a special study Of trade conditions
by a commission Is almost the same a.

got Sl9 in cash. The burglary did not
become known until today.
Mrs Travers, who saw the man in ner
bedroom, could not see whether he was
black or white, and consequently could
not furnish the police with a good de-
Ecripuon. Mrs. Travers stated that after
the man had carefully looked through
the bureau, which is but a few feet
from her bed, he was well on his way
out OF the house before she could arouse

ELEVEN MILLIONS
IN NEW GOLD

The director of the mint, in his esti-
mates of the mineral production of the
United States for the year 1906, places
Nevada's gold output for this period at
eleven millions.
Eleven millions in new gold! The
statement is almost unbelievable, and
yet it is highly probable that during the
past year Nevada actually produced
more than this splendid sum. and for
the reason that many of the new bo-
nanzas of the "Battleborn' state, for
months past, have been producing car
load after carload of ore averaging
thousands to the ton in the yellow metal.
For the coming year the same author
ity predicts a production of twenty mil
lions in gold. This estimate also will
most likely fall far short of the actual
production, as since the estimate was
made, several new camps have sprung
into existence in Nevada whose ore is so
sensational in values as almost to stag
ger belief. Some of these camps, and a
number of their mines, which are merely
prospects as yet, would find it an easy
matter to turn out one or two millions
in the precious metals, scarcely without
an effort, and there are any number of
properties in different portions of the
state which would have no difficulty in
producing a million a year. This being
the case, the estimate of twenty millions
will doubtless fall far short of the actual
production.
The resurrection, the rehabilitation of
Nevada, is the wonder and marvel of the
age. For years the old state has been
a by-word and reproach, and the re-
cipient of many scathing and scurrilous
remarks. Fol- years it's population was
so limited as to cause mirth when it
was referred to as a sovereign state.
Now, however, the case is different. The
under dog is on top. and nowadays when
one speaks of Nevada the world begins
to sit up and take notice.
Within the near future Nevada will
take rank as being one of the greatest
of the constellation of stars in the sis
terhood of states, and its name will be
written in characters of gold on the
walls of the Hall of Fame.-Salt Lake
