The Government is now running
most of its mints to their full ca
pacity, and several million dollars
in gold ara being coined daily
from accumulated bullion. 1t is
also estimated that nearly one bill
lion dollars in gold has been i'm
ported from foreign countries.
The national banks have also been
issuing currency almost without
limit, aud the government has
placed hundreds of millions of
dollars on deposit in various banks
throughout the country. Then
there are the clearing house certi-
fcates issued in almost every town
in the country, amounting to sew
eral billion dollars. As soon as
is restored end the peo-
pie quit boarding, there will be
more money in circulation than
there ever was before.

SPARKS ROBBERS
FOILED.

A desperate and determined eff
fort was made to rob the station
at Sparks Sunday night about Z
O'Clock. There was $4,000 there
at the time. The station closes
early on Sunday. and SO it was
that the watchman was astonished
when he found the windows brok-
en- open. He made an Immediate
investigation and discovered that
burglars had effected an entrance
by the aid of a crowbar and other
implements. Judging by the sur
rounding circumstances, they must
have got to work i'm mediately pre-
vious to his approach, and had
been frightened off by the sound
of his footsteps.

CUGENHEIM FA-
vORS SILVER.

"Since coming West, / have
found strong sentiment in favor
of the government helping out the
real money stringency by the pur-
chase of liberal quantities of the
white metal and coming it into
dollars. 1t is believed that $50,-
100000 worth of it might be
bought and so used to the best In
terests Of the entire country.
Around present prices that would
provide nearly $l00,0O0,00O of new
real money and the government
would hardly miss the amount of
gold it would need to pay out for
the metal" said Solomon Guggen-
helm in an interview in Salt Lake
a few days ago.

BARTLETT'S FOUR
MEASURES.

Congressman Bartlett left Reno
last Sunday night for Washing
ton. He has four measures that
he will introduce at once. One
calls for the free coinage of silver;
another is aimed at an increase in
the appropriation for the Federal
building at Reno, the third is to
have the United States take up the
smelling business as one of the de-
partments of government and the
fourth remitting annual assess
ment work ON mining claims for
1907.

A FINANCIAL VIEW.

1t isn't in European human ma
ture to resist the opportunities fol
investment that are afforded by
the low prices of American rail
road and other securities, and the
dispatches show that the shrewd-
est foreign judges realize that
prices have reached low ebb tide.
A Holland banker is quoted in
Mondays dispatches as advising
investment in American stocks
and bonds. and the same dispatch
foreshadows a rise in the rate of
interest in England and on the
continent to prevent violent with
drawals of gold for America. TAX
ing these two factors together, it
is not difficult to understand why
the pressure relaxed in New York
and other money centers yesterday
and the situation cleared ma
terially.
Another significant change for
the better was the rise IN copper
quotations, both metal and stocks,
change that effects the west i'm
mediately for the better. Ia view
of the fact that present prices on
copper are close to the cost of pro-
duction, and that the large pro-
ducers have all curtailed their out
put, the advance was to be expect
ed, though it had not been expect
sd 30 soon. Copper around 13
cents is a good deal like wheat at
so to 90 cents; it has reached
about the limit of low prices under
present conditions of production
and is almost as safe to hold as
any material thing that can be
bought.
Just now it looks as though the
housecleaning in the New York
banks while too violent and drastic
to be pleasant, had been inaugur-
ated soon enough to prevent more
dangerous disturbance later Oh.
For the first time in their history
the trust companies are subjected
to scrutiny as to their big opera
tions Just as the national banks
and other clearing house institu-
tons are. The system onght to
have been adopted long ago, as the
event proved, but it brings assur-
ance now of security for deposit
tors and the general public which
was lacking before, and that means
added confidence for investors the
world over who may be Interested
in American securities.-Salt Lake

NO SPECIAL SES-
SION.

Governor Sparks Monday after
noon issued a proclamation declar-
ing that there will be no special
session of the Nevada Legislature.
He gave as his reason for be
lieving that special session is
not necessary, that a majority OF
the people of the State are op-
posed to such session. He also
declared that in his opinion the
special session il called would be
Of no material benefit to the people
and would add to the expenses of
the State and indirectly to the
taxpayers.

PRISONERS IN A CAVE.
Party Of Picnickers Has Exciting Ad'
venture in Basutoland.

A remarkable incident occurred in
Basutoland recently. writes the Lon
don Mails Durham correspondent. a
picnic party decided to make a trip
into the Basuto country, which they
entered by a pass known as the LAM
Ingubo, on the Natal frontier, and en-
camped for the night in cave In the
Drakensberg. Proceeding on their
Journey the following day they asked
native to direct them to a cave In
which they could take their midday
meal The Basuto appears TO have
given information OF their presence,
for toward evening the party was In
tercepted by a number OF natives, the
old man who appeared TO be in charge
carrying n gun. The Europeans were
then arrested, accused of being white
mems spies" and taken to place
which had the appearance OF noun
tain stronghold beneath an overhang-
ing cliff Here the visitors horses
we're turned astray, and the headman'
telling them that they would not be
allowed to re-enter Natal, signihed
| that they would have to continue with
out their horses. and would have 10
carry their saddles, After a night
spent under surveillance in cave the
Basutos maintaining a close watch
upon their captives, the party made
their escape by means OF a strategem'
in which they were assisted by the
Basuto guide, who helped them to cap
ture the horsres and led them back TO
the pass by which they entered. Al
ter a furious ride in the darkness, the
preciptous nature Of the country lead
ing to several exciting adventures, inc
party reached the Natal side carly or
the morning after their escape, thor
oughly spent and unnerved.
