Mohave county is to be benefited largely by the new mining law, but as yet the assessor is unable to make an estimate of the total tax under the new law. The assessment of the Gold Road mine will be more than double, while that of the Champion, Banner and New Comstock properties will be in excess of that of last year.

w. l.. Kayser reports the finding of a great vein of copper ore ten miles east of Blackberry and two miles east of the Tawa camp. The prospectors have been at work on the vein the past two months and claim to have a wonderful showing. Samples taken to Blackberry show big values in copper. The finding of this new vein demon- strates fully that the Cottonwood dis trict is rich in copper ores and that cheap transportation or the installa- tion of shelter is all that is required to make the district one of the great est producers in the county.
 J. E. Brown, mine superintendent of the Tawa Development company, was in Kingman several days this week. He reports that one of the company's shafts has reached depth of ITO feet and is in five feet of good shipping cop- per ore. The vein has been increasing constantly in size from the surface and the grade of the ore has increased materially. The other mines of the company are also improving with depth. It is the intention of the con- pany to sink the mines to a depth of several hundred feet before drifting is commenced, stations being cut at each level and sinking proceeded with. It is said that an average sample taken from the TO foot station gave result of l9 per cent copper and five dollars gold to the ton.

Bridge contractors have visited the proposed site of the railroad bridge near Parker and are making surveys on which to base estimates of the cost of structure across the Colorado riv- CT. Owing to the nature of the bed of the river the piers will have to be built with large aprons of concrete to hold the piers in position on the upper crust of hardpan. Tests have shown that the hardpan only covers another bed of quicksand and if the weight of pier breaks through this there is, no telling where it will go to. Some of the
 engineers are rather skeptical on the subject of getting the center piers of the bridge to stand, but if the bridge companies take the chance only they will be injured should collapse come.

R. P. Wheeler, general manager of the Big Sandy mining company, was in Kingman this week. He reports that he has sunk shaft on the Non- pareil mine, near the old McCracken, to depth of 110 feet and that fine ore shows in the bottom. The outcrop on the vein shows good values in silver and lead, average samples of big streaks running as high as 6S per cent of lead. Another shaft has been start ed on the vein $50 feet from number one, which will be sunk to depth of several hundred feet. The ore in part of the vein resembles that of the Me Cracken and carries values in silver. A holster will soon he placed on the property and the shafts sunk to a great depth. The vein will be cross cut from wall to wall in the immediate future.

H. A. de Rudio was in Kingman a few days ago looking after important mining business. He has just taken a bond on the McCright, Brooks and Signal company interests on McCrack- en Hill, in the south part of this coun- ty and is preparing to begin active de- velopment work. It is understood that the options were taken in the in- terest of the Llewellin Iron Works, of Los Angeles. Two hundred and fifty tons of ore will be taken from the properties at once and shipped to the shelter as test and if satisfactory re- suits are obtained an eighty ton smell ting plant will be put in at the mines. Surveys will be made for a wagon road across the valley to Haviland, which is considered the nearest point on the railroad to the mines.

c. T. Lewis, Pacific coast manager of the Postal Telegraph company, was in Kingman several days this week look ing into the subject of the installation of power plant for the development of power for the telegraph lines at this point. The plant would have to be a duplicate and would develop about twenty-five hundred horse power. We believe he was favorably impress ed with the possibilities of this place for the station and will advise himself fully before considering any other point.

BOOM TIMES TO FOLLOW DULL.

The policy of retrenchment adopted by nearly all of the railroad and
industrial corporations, the economies of which individuals everywhere
are beginning to practise, and the contraction in business generally
which is now spreading all over the country will undoubtedly prove a
cure for present ills. There will be less demand for money and a low
ering of rates of interest, which in turn will increase the demand for
securities. When this point has been reached business will again ex-
pand and the country will enter upon another era of prosperity which ex-
perts believe will continue for many years unless checked by crop dis.
aster. These periods of depression and prosperity follow each other in
cycles, and by an anomaly that is peculiar economies each is the prog
eny of the other. Great business expansion is inevitably attended by ex-
ravagance, over-producton, over distension of credit and concurrent
contraction of currency. There comes a time when all available funds
the world over become tied up in these extended enterprises, and there
does not remain a sufficient surplus to provide necessary banking facli
ties This is the beginning of the end of the pendulum's upward swing
has spread gradually to this country and is still pursuing its westward
credit lines, which in turn begets liquidation in the stock market. in real
estate and in commodities. The fall in the value Of collateral which
follows provides the banks with a larger margin of reserve, which is still
further increased by the lessening Of demand for credit that results from
contraction. In due time, as money rates cease to command a premium
and individuals and banks find themselves with a surplus for which the
money market no longer provides remunerative employment they turn
once more to the security market as the most profitable field of invest
ment- Corporations begin to find that there is a growing market for
their notationsi capital is readily obtainable, therefore. for improve
ments; employment is provided for the idle; wages rise in response to
the increased demand, and again tn pendulum receives its upward inn
petus. The country is now in a transition period and events arr pro-
crossing rapidly toward the completion stage Those who know the great
ness of their country, its wonderful reeuperative powers, the immensely
of its resources and its tremendous energy and enterprise believe that the
downward stroke will be of short duration and that it will be followed Ia
one of the greatest periods of prosperity that the nation has ever en-
|ioyed-New York World.

LOS ANGELES is IN EARNEST.

Los Angeles is in earnest in regard to the establishment OF better
relations with southern Nevada. The business men of Los Angeles have
recognized that there are good business opportunities here, and they
have also awakened to the opportunities which exist here. Heretofore,
the principal business of Los Angeles with its thousands of visitors who
go to the southern metropolis to spend the winter, as in the specu1a-
ton of real estate.
Now there are 5000 men of means who are visiting Los Angeles,
and there is no more real estate speculation for them to dabble in.
They must have speculation of some kind during their several months
stay, and it is proposed to give them an opportunity to deal in the s-
curitos of this country. The fact that the Tonopah and Tidewater
Railroad company and the Santa Fe will soon be operating trains from
much in earnest are the people, and how advantageousy they viii be
placed with regard to the trade.
The Los Angeles people re taking hold of the securities and the
properties of southern Nevada at a good time. The day of the hot air
promoter and the wildcat mine and the wldact man has gone; and the
vast bulk of the mines in the known districts are proving up rapidly all
over the state. Mining speculation will always appeal to all sorts of
people, and when the fact is known that the people of this country are
banding together for the purpose of saving the outside investor from
the wildcat. and for the preservation of the fair name of the country,
there is going to be a class of investors come in here that has before
held aioof.
When a country has been proven, and there is no longer q question
Iof the ore being in the ground, the lovers of speculation and OF q fair
deal are going to pour their money into the market and the result will
he the greatest market which Nevada has yet witnessed.

FOR HOARDERs OF GOLD.

The offer amounts to this; A man who has a thousand dollars in
gold in the safe deposit vaults can take III to the subtreasury today and
buy with it government notes, which are IS good as money, which arc
indeed, ready money. These notes bear interest at 8 per cent-sayings

20, 1907. The notes are redeemable in gold at the end Of the ear
They are supported by the credit Of the strongest government, fnan-
eiaHy in the world.
The government does not need the $1o0,OOOO0O which it is borrow
ing on these notes, and the $3,00O000 interest which it will pay to the
holders Is a gift The government Is willing to spend $4,000 600 in this
way to induce hoarders of gold to airing the metal out Of hiding places
The gold which the government gets will be deposited in national banks
wherever needed. In other words, the treasury has 20 much faith in the

EXTENSION OF TIME.

The Mining Record wishes to most heartily commend Congressman
Bartlett in us announced effort to have congress pass a relief measure
for the mine owners who are not able to do their assessment work for
the present year.
This relief measure cannot interfere with anyone. The men and
companies who have been fortunate enough to have their work already
done. or who IA secure the coin to do it with are in no way injured,
as their property has been benefited thereby. But it means the saliva
ton of the poor fellow who is" all in" and must lose his property unless
the government grants him an extension Of time.
The government has advanced hundreds of millions to the wealthy
bankers TO tide them over the panic and now it certainly cannot refuse
their claims who are out of work and money. These are the class of
men who have made the mining section what II is. They are the adj.
vance guard of the mining companies, the trail builders for the thrifty
communities that follow in their wake and they certainly deserve
some consideration from the government. They are not asking much
bt this little will be a great boon to them-Ey Mining Record.

MONEY FROM SAFE DEPOSITS.

The news from New York is that the people OF small means are buy
ing the ndusuials. This is taken as a good augury by the bankers, for
it means that the people who have been hiding their money in safe de-
post vaults and tin cans, are coming to the front as investors, and are
letting go OF their money. This is the sort of money that It was sought
to have in circulation, and without which. stringency in the money mar
kt must ensue.
1t Is a show Of confidence on the part OF the small money holders
and that is the confidence that was needed to restore the credit of the
country, The industrial investments will be followed by investments IN
other securities. and the turn of the Nevada securities, in which we are
most interested, viii come in good time
There is bound to be the greatest boom in the securities of Nevada
when the time does come. that we have yet enjoyed. This is no. the dis
semination of hot air, but a logical conclusion. During the dull spell
the mines have been working. and the districts which were prospects when
M slump set in are proven zones now. Manhattan has her mills to
demonstrate at home the worth of her mines and the whole state is
turning out ore from Rhyohte to Rawhide, and from Silver Peak to
Seven Troughs. The districts are growing richer and richer. and all that
is needed is the towering influence of capital to make of various parts
OF the state the greatest mining camps the world has ever known.
