best prospectors in the land.

ARE GRADING THE STREETS

The Yerington Realty Syndicate will
soon begin grading the streets on its
property. Scott and Mcdonald have
taken a contract to do this work, and
they are now changing the course OF the
large ditch which runs through some OF
the ground. This ditch runs diagonally
across number of lots and it will be
changed to follow straight line east to
the city limits and then run due north.
As soon as this work is completed the
street grading will begin and be carried
on as rapidly as possible. The contract
ors are handicapped by not being able to
oct teams enough to carry the work on
as rapidly as they would like to.

STRIKE ON MALACH|TE
Large Body Of Sulphide Ore is
Cut in New Section of Mine.

O. H. Some, Superintendent of the
yerinpton Malachite Company's proper
~ in this district has sent word to the
head Office in Salt Lake that strike of
considerable Importance was made in the
mine last week The strike was made
in the southeast drift on the tunnel level
at a point fifty feet from the crosscut
The full face of the drift is in ore which
will average Is per cent copper and runs
heavy in sulphides. The ore is opening
up into large shoot, and development
will undoubtedly prove up what the
company expected from indications on
the surface.
This is only one of series of big
bodies of rich ore that have been opened
in this property during the last year, and
it is not going to be many weeks till the
company's new compressor plant is in
commission and the mine placed in tip
top shape for production. While mining
is carried on through the tunnels the
SlUkluS VI eiiN biS
operating shaft will be rushed until the
600-foot level is gained Then stations
will be cut and levels extended out into
and along the mammoth lode at each 100
foot mark. The machinery is now OH the
way and everything is being made ready
at the mine for its reception
The Malachite property end lines the
Mason Valley and the same lode traverses
both groups of claims and extends into
the Western Nevada Copper Company's
property as well. On this zone is where
three of the biggest high-grade mines in
the Yerington camp are being rapidly
developed.

An Economic FormuIa.

A dispatch from the national capital
makes the triumphant announcement
that whereas our trade with Panama
two years ago was only little more
thar S2.50o,000 in exports TO that re-
public, sister at once and daughter. the
present year will show an export busi-
ness thither Of more than $14,O0OOOO.
This suggests an unfailing formula
for building up ~ foreign trade ard get
ting rich out OF IT, In the first place.
you hire a lot Of men to work Cor Loaf
in foreign country. In the second
place, you send them a lot of Ameri-
can goods In the third place. and
finally, you send them a lot of money
to pay for the goods.
SO there you have it. We have been
dong good deal of business in that
way for the past eight years and some
months, and who is going to deny that
this is not the real cause of our won
derful prosperity? 1t is as reasonable
as it is to suppose that we have made
ourselves rich by taxing ourselves at
greater rate than ever before.
II we keep on amassing wealth by
following the above formula the time
must come, and that at no very remote
day. when we shall have gathered to
ourselves all the wealth of the world

What Germany coxet..

Germany seems to have taken note
Of the silence on the tariff in the Pres
dents message, and 1t has expressed
some dissatisfaction over the omission
of the question it has regarded as very
important But the German papers
may not have taken note of the fact
that during the last month our exports
exceeded those of the same month last
year by some $22 100000. The United
States is doing about all the foreign
business that she could hope to do I'M
der the most favorable conditions.
What Germany Is trying to do is to
keep down her own imports and at the
same time extend her exports. Ger
many covets the position in trade held
by this country and thinks in some way
or other to reach it through the tariff.
But Germany needs American agricul.
tural products, the hogs and the cattle
Of our farms. Without them the Ger
man industrial classes can not have
Iseat enough to satisfy their wants,
and without it meat prices in Germany
win be out Of all range as far as the
masses are concerned. The United
States now has commissioners in Ger
many studying the tariff question and
when they return and make their re-
ports we shall, of course, know a great
deal more about this subject. In the
meantime President Roosevelt reserved
all mention of the tariff.-Cedar Rap

The enactment OF the income and in
heritance taxes would increase the sur
plus Of $35S.O0O.OOO, and might make
the sum larger than that. What would
we do with that deluge of cash? Pres
ident Arthur's troubles were light COM
pared with the torments which Presi.
dent Roosevelt would precipitate upon
himself If Congress should take him
at his word and open these streams of
revenue which he asks Providing we
adopted and stuck to those proposed
taxes, what would we be compelled to
do with the tariff and the internal inn
posts? We might, as preliminary. be
called upon to burn down all the Gus
tom houses or sell out all the collectors
offices. Frederick D. Grant said a few
years ago that it was easier to manage
surplus than deficit. But he did
not dream of the surplus which Presi-
dent Roosevelt would one day propose
to precipitate upon the country. No
elairvoyance Is needed to foretell that
neither tie income nor the Inheritance
tax will be enacted this winter or next
winter, or probably any other winter
