In an interview with the Appeal
Mr.. Williams said:
"A great deal of interest prevails
everywhere in the east regarding Ne
vada mining investments The min
ing craze has reached Kentucky but
it has been deadened somewhat by
the many fraudulent mining schemes
which have been f1oated. People are
losing confidence in legitimate enter
prises for this reason.
Il note that there is bill before
this legislature compelling the min
ing corporations to publish annual
statements AS I understand it they
must make a public accounting of
the money they receive from the sale
of stock and show what they have
done in the way jof Development

Such a bill would be a splendid ad-
vertisement for Nevada as it would
show to Eastern investors that the
state meant to protect them. 1t
would also result in big demand
for Nevada newspapers in the east

THE RENO EDITORS
A Glass of People Who are Reached
Through Their Stomachs

The editor of the Gazette spent
several days in Carson last week and
did not get enough to eat and the ho-
tells and restaurants. On his return
to Reno he urged the defeat of the
governors mansion bill and the pas
sage of one in it's stead authorizing
the building and conducting of a res
taurant in Carson that would be bet
ter than the poorest one that could be
found elsewhere.-Elko Independent.
The Reno editors think of nothing
but their stomachs. When they come
to Carson, or any other place, for that
matter, they gage the town by the
sort of meal they have and the way
it agrees with them.
Sometimes one sees people who
turn up their nose at all the grub
that comes in their way. They wish
to impress others that they have the
very best in the world when at home.
Such people always fill ones mind
with a suspicion that they have left
home with the hopes of finding some.
thing to eat and are afraid the fact
may become known

of the legislature went to Reno last
Sunday and tackled a fashionable res
taurant. He called off all the entic
ing dishes on the bill but they were
just out. He finally compromised OF

Twenty three months, ago the lot

that possession, stealthly gained while
honest men are asleep, is nine points

himself a squatter, gives up his body

Progress and dares the critter to run

the owners plan to erect structures
