AN OBSERVING MANS
VIEWS OF ROBINSON

State Engineer Nichols has
been in Ely for several days.
AS the observations of any
one capable of Judging of
conditions are sometimes bet
ter than those of a man who
has grown up with the camp"
and necessarily apt to have
his judgment warped, the fol-
lowing interview with Mr..
Nichols is herewith given.
The question was asked Mr.
Nichols what his impressions
of Robinson district were. He
replied: "Unquestionably Ely
and Robinson district have a
very bright future and Ely
will be a large city long af-
ter many other camps in Ne
vada have outlived their min
eral output and have gone to
sleep. You have the ore to
last many, many years. You
are preparing to reduce 1t to
a wealth-producing commod
ity that the world requires
and will require to the end of
time. l can see the develop
ment work going on in this
district that impresses me
with the permanency of the
district. l may not live to see
Ely a city of the first class,
but my son may, and prob
ably will. You have a fine eli
mate, good water and every
thing is conducive for the
upbuilding of this district on
legitimate and permanent
lines.

hire, and their ability or inability to
carry out the object of their exist
ence is matter of vital moment to
the people.
1t is true that the majority of the
people do not come in as close con-
tact with the telegraph companies as
they do with other common carriers,
such as the railroads and express
companies; but when it becomes nee
essary for them to have recourse to
the wire for purposes of commune
cation 1t should be as unfailing as
the postoffice. And above the incon-
venience of the private individual is
the inconvenience that the govern
ment must suer in not being able to
communicate with its insular pos
sessions and with its ministers
abroad.
The means of communication, OF
whatever kind, should be under the
control of the people, and neither
the owners of them nor their en-
ployes, in the course of an industrial
dispute, should be permitted to dis
turb their operation.
The public Is vitality interested in
everything that satisfies its necessi-
ties or convenience, and it comes
with bad grace for either capital OF
labor to say to the people who are
their partners, I'VE won't confer" OF
I'VE will not arbitrate." If they can
not agree then there should be power
on the part of the people to direct
arbitration and to compel the opera
ton of the properties until a settle.

RELICS OF

NEVADA HISTORICAL SOCIETY
MOVING TO SAVE OLD-TIME
Complete Files of The Sacramento

Since 1850 Procured.

Miss Jeanne Elizabeth Wier, pro-
lessor of history at the university,
who is taking a prominent part in
the movement for history museum
and library for the state, and who is
secretary of the Nevada Historical
Society, returned to Reno Monday.
Miss Wier has been in the old
town of Genoa, Douglass county,
where the first court sat in what is
now Nevada, but which was then a
part of the territory of Utah. At
Genoa is the first building erected for

The official experts reckon the
population of the United States on
August 1st to be 86,193,O00; on this
basis the circulation per capita on
that date was 1927.
This statement shows the United
States in a most healthy condition so
far as the supply of money is con-
cerned. If the people of China had
as much per capita as the people
of the United States have, it would
require over twelve billion dollars
to supply the amount; which is core
than is known to exist of coined
money in the world today. And yet
with the production of gold contin-
uing for few decades at the ratio
that gold is now being produced,
even that amount will be reached
in time. And we look, also, in i'm
agination, to the time when China
will be as rich as the United States,
and the United States far richer than
it is today.
This enormous amount of money,
which Is fully required by the bust
ness, industry and actual daily needs
OF the commerce of the country
shows the tremendous volume of
American activity in all these lines
And it also explains the point which
has been very obscure to a number
Of Wall street financiers why it is
that the country at large pays so lit
tie attention to Wall street and is
troubled as little as it is by the fuc-
tuatiOns and flurries of the specula-
tive element in that narrow region.

MAMMOTH
GOLD Mine IN
JACKSON MT.
ANOTHER PROMISING SECTION
OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY AT.
TRACING ATTENTION.
THE NELSON CONSOLIDATED
Arrangements Being Made To Com.
mence Shipping Ore From
The Mine.

Captain j. A. Hassell and Louis II.
Newkirk, who went out to Jackson
mountain to inspect the Nelson Con-
solidated Copper company's proper
ties, returned Saturday evening, says
the humboldt Sun.
Captain Hassell found things to his
liking at the Nelson Consolidated
property and made the preliminary
arrangements for starting shipments
of ore to the smelters. In the mean
time development will be kept ahead
of the shipments until the building of
the Western Pacific, which will pass
within few miles of the property,
which will permit the marketing of
vast tonnage of the ores, which are
conservatively estimated to carry Is
per cent copper.
One object of Captain Hassell' s
visit was to make a closer eXamina-
ton of big iron-quartZ ledge in the
Jackson mountain country, which he
believes will prove a gigantic low
grade proposition. lie describes the
ledge as being 900 feet high and so
abrupt that he has been compelled to
have trail cut and blasted in order
to get to the top. The ledge is from
three to 800 feet wide and Outcrops
for 5000 feet Samples taken from
various places show gold contents
varying from $3.50 to SIP ton. He
estimates that there are 1000, 900
tons of ore above the surface which
can be quarried and aside from the
gold has enormous value as fiuxing
ore This ledge was exclusively
1n1
to expectations Captain Hassell is
confident he will have a mine as big
as the famous Homestake, admittedly
the greatest gold mine in the world.
These samples were taken by the
captain to Goldfield and the results
will be awaited with much interest

of Patients at Lone Home,

Short Period Of Incubation Appears as

sent to the home of T. Lone, five miles
southwest of the city, where an cpl
lent form is raging, was herself strick-
en- with the disease Thursday after
city at night by the physician in
charge. Miss Simmons was removed to
the home of her father, Philip Sim
mons, and the home quarantined.
A short period incubation appears to
have characterized the disease at the
Lone home and instead of the usual
period of five days Miss Simmons was
stricken after having been in
charge of the cases three days.
The different patients sick are
all doing nicely, and no new cases
have come down within the past two
days Mr.. Lone did not develop a case
as was feared, altho he showed marked
symptoms of the usual sore throat and
temperature.
AS yet Miss Simmons is rot very i'll,
but the disease is only in its first
stages. 1t was thought Thursday that
possibly she might escape with noths
ing more serious than a case of ton
silitis, but this morning the physician
declares the case to be one Of scarlet
fever, and the patient was placed In
charge of a trained nurse.
Miss Harriet Gratreaks, who was
sent to the Lone home after Miss Sim
mons took charge, to assist her, is now
in charge of the patients, and Mrs.
Ella M. Brock was taken out Thurs
day night to assist Miss Gratreaks.

One Of the cleverest machines that

In offices or stores where there are
a number of pencils in constant use
this machine will more than pay for
