EDITORIAL COMMENT
CONSIDERING Sill YER.

This years silver product of the United States was a tife over S3S,-
100000. Had silver been left alone that product would have been worth
$74,0O0,000. That is, the men who dug the silver were out $36, 0O0-
600. Had the government desired it all for coinage it would not have
cost the government one cent beyond the printing o the certificates. AS
It was the price was fixed by two or three London brokers'; England pr-
chased all that was for sale, probably onethrd of the amount, coined it
at 10 to 1 and sent ii to the Straits Settlements and India and cleared in
the transaction probably s12O00,O0O. That is, she made that amount
out OF the mines OF this intermountain region. Since demonetizatnn in
1873, the loss to Western mines has been more than $1,000 0O 900; to
the other producers of the country twice as much more. Is it not about
time to stop that waste, when there is a clamor from Maine to San
Diego for more money; the more especially that events have demonstrate
ed that every argument made against silver from 1873 to 1898 have been
proven a fallacy?
But China alone would be glad to take our entire product and pay
our price for it, We buy of Brazl. some $50, 900 900 worth of her prod
utsa annually. She would be glad to take our entire silver output at a
price fixed upon by our government or the price established by an in
ternational conference. New England camors for a tariff and the rea-
son she gives is a desire on her part to pay employees generous wages,
Are not Western working men entitled likewise to some consideration?
But the West makes no selfish demand.
When silver was demoneuzed the result was Is much more disastrous
to the East al it was to the West, as the value of what the East pro-
duced exceeded the products of the West in value, for the money vol
ume Is what establishes values, and the measure Of what Eastern po-
ducers lost in those years was the amount their property fell in value,
which was quite 90 per cent. Eastern people would just now be very glad
to accept any amount of silver certificates Why not supply them while
their want is very urgent?
Demonedzation was a grievous misfortune. Is not our country great
enough to right a wrong-Sat Lake Telegram.

PAY DAY IN TONOPAH.

There were in the neghborhood of 100000 paid out in cash yes
terday to the miners and mill men in Tonopah and MiHers. The men
who did not receive their money until 3 O'Clock found abundant cash for
them in the saloons and other places the Tonopah Liquor Company alone
paying out twenty thousand dollars. The checks were o N the Tonopah
Banking Corporation and the Nevada First National Bank. and they were
exchanged for cash at the banks as fast as they were presented.
II was cash wherever they went 1t was not an unusual thing for
the men of this camp to be paid in cash; they have always been paid in
cash. But this time there We're some doubling Thomases who feared
that the program would not go through. 1t was by hard scrapfng that
the money was raised in the East a month ago. but there was apparently
no trouble at all this time. The money was taken from the banks in
chunks
The pay day incident is one If the best indications that the financial
sr1ngency is loosening up for wnen we can get money to pay off in
Ionopah, Sc remotely situated from the financial centers, it is a pretty
sure sign that those living and doing business closer TO the throne of
wealth have no trouble in getting money from the banks. We hear every
day Of certificates being taken in, and redeeemd in coin. Cash is becom-
ing more plentiful all over the United States. This is the certain end Of
the crisis, and it will not be long before we win see the stocks of Nevada
back into their old place and the interest in them and the mining nrop-
critics Of Nevada as great as ever.

refuse. Upon investigation these Inn

to the lease and then the idea of
high grading entered the minds of

a LESSON TO NEVADA MINERS

The action of the American Smelt-
ing & Refining company, which has
raised the price of smelling rates
twice to prevent the~heavy shipment
of ores to its smelters in Colorado.
should be a lesson to the mining
companies of Nevada. The plant Of
this big smelling company, which Is
the largest in America, is swamped
with ore There are said to be
10000 tons of ore on the way to its
shelters now which it will be un-
able to handle for some time. In
the meantime, the owners of the ore
Will have to wait for their money. In
fact, the smelling company has made
the announcement that It will defer
payment on it for sixty days. The
irpose of this raiJe in price Of
treatment and the deferring OF pay
ment is to discourage shipments.
a great deal of it's ores is shipped
from the rich Goldfields of Nevada.
Not all of it comes from the smaller
mines-the mines unable because of
financial inability to erect reduction
works of their own. Probably the
major portion of these rich ores
comes from the big producers whose
capitalization runs into the millions.
The big companies, it seems to us.
should be able to erect smelters and
reduce their own ores. Why they
have not done so has always been a
mystery to the miner who has work
ed in other parts of the country. The
great Goldfeld Con, capitalized at
$36,000,000 continues to ship ore.
There is no excuse for this. Located
in any other state with the vast and
rich ore bodies that IL has and the
prospects of permanency, the Gold
field Con. would long age have had
It's own reduction plant, which would
have added tens of thousands of dol
lars annually to the income of the
company. This company has paid
enough in railroad and smelter tolls
to erect a plant which would not only
serve its own purpose but which
would be capable of smelling nearly
all the ores produced in the district
in which it Is located. Besides the
benefit the company would derive in
the economy in handling its ore the
smelter would be a great help to tie
smaller companies that are unable 10
erect smelters of their own. These
companies arc compelled to send
their ores a long distance to have
them treated. They do not do so
from choice as they realize the loss

TONOPAH THE SUBSTANTIAL CAMP.

Today there will be in the neighborhood of 5000 900 dtsbursed in
wages in this camp There is nothing the matter with Tonopah. There
has not yet been a pay day, and the chances are that there eve will
be that the men have not been paid off in cash.
There has beer some talk on the outside of trouble here. but there
has not been a word of truth in tire rumors which have been started by
someone who has anything but the interests of the camp at heart. There
was 40 reason for these rumors; none whatever Tonopah in all the fin
ancial trouble that has shaken the entire country, was not found to be
wanting at any stage of the difficulty There has always been money
for checks, and there always has been business for the merchants There
never has been a movement in the stock market to which the securities
of Tonopah have not responded. Yesterday there was an advance in CON
sequence of the reports that came from Godheld regarding the clearing
of the situation there, and the Tonopah securities showed their buoyancy
by climbing Up a few notches. To be sure, there is nothing wonderful in
that. but it shows that the people want the stocks of Tonopah, and when
the financial clouds have lifted for good and all. tnese securities will
ascend o the prices that their merit entities them to. There never was a
