rendered the state and has anybody
ever heard that he has advanced a

standpoint of actual work performed

person doubt as to whether Commits
sioner Parker is the more valuable

significant in comparison with that
of the man who is nounding him in

we may presume insight is best given
to through the violence and vileness
of the language which has been used
in assailng them and other interests

tor because of self respect which
holds those attacked from association
with such company.

MUNICIPAL SALARIES.

In many states councrlmen serving
municipalities are prohibited from
receiving remuneration. Even in the
territory of Arizona this is true. In
many of the states where pay to coun-
cilmen is not positively forbidden
there are statutes limiting the
amount of compensation they may re-
ceive to nominal sums of 81 and 81
per regular meeting 1t is mostly
considered that every town has
among its residents men with stand
ing as good citizens and with suffl-
Gent interest in the welfare of their
neighbors and of the municipality to
give their services as councilmen free
of charge. To suggest pay for the
work in many communities would be
considered tender of insult In Ely
the city council had the making of the
salaries of it's members and of other
city officials, and made them. There
was no public protest at the time
Enough said.

A POSE AND A DEED.

The lmpostor last week took oc-
casion to make an undetermined, stab
in-the-back assault on DR.. +. l.. X.
Wallace, in effect coyertly charging
that gentleman with theft. Such con-
viction was what it wished to convey
but did not dare to openly declare,
because it knew that it could not pro-
dnce scintilla of honest proof of
anything of the sort The report of
the grand jury shows how false the
insinuation of the Impostor was,
while the incident serves to further
illustrate the false character of the
evening publication, which has lately
been loud in its declarations of open
handed dealings, in the same breath
welding the knife of the assassin.

THE SITUATION AT GOLDFIELD

The News herewith gives editorial
comment with regard to the Gold
field situation from newspapers in di-
rect touch with the public pulse in
the disturbed locality. 1t needs no
reading between the lines to gather
from these remarks that the people
of the mining camps in the south of
the state are exceedingly weary of
Western Federation and l. W. W
methods and abuses of the princi-
pies of unionism. They want relief
and it is good to know that they are
to have it.

NEED BE NO APPREHENSION

Soldiers of Uncle Sam will be in
GOldfield today for the first time in
the history of the camp, and there
Will be established military post.
We know why the soldiers are there,
and so do the soldiers, and so do the
miners. But there has yet to be told
the story of how they came to be
there. The general impression is that
they are to be quartered in Goidileld
as precautionary measure. Hereto
fore, when federal troops We're called
for it has been to put down violence
and riot. There has been no rioting
in Goldfield, and no violence outside
of numerous hold-ups, which are be-
coming almost nightly occurrences.
Stories of rioting and bloodshed in
Goldfield have been spread through
out the east, and also in the west;
stories in which there is not a particle
of truth. The magazines of the east
have wired to their correspondents
for stories, and the eyes of the coun-
try are on Goldfield. The camp is
quiet, unusually so, and many peo-
pie fearing trouble have left there
and are leaving by every train The
mine operators say that they have
reached the limit of dictation as to
how they shall run their mines, and
when they shall operate, and when
they shall close down People have
lost confidence in the camp through
the labor troubles, and the investors
in the east say that they will invest
settled for good.
The coming of troops to town
is not indicative of peace and quiet;
generally it means trouble, and trou-
BILE is feared in Goldfied. Law abid-
ing citizens, however, need fear no
trouble for themselves, and if there
is no good cause for trouble in Gold
field, there need be no apprehension
at the coming of the soldiers. But
the determination of the mine owners
to operate their mines, we know, is
the signal for something to start. If
anything should start, the soldiers
will be there to put it down. There
are number of undesirable citizens
in Goldfield, and the country would
be much better off for their absence
These are the men who are most
likely to be the first to go out of the
camp.
But there is one thing that we may
rest assured of, and that is that the
soldiers are not going to do anything
arbitrarily. If their services are not
needed they are not going to declare
martial law, and run things with a
high hand. There is no military post
in the entire state of Nevada, and |
there are some people who are of the
that at least one is needed. |
If the establishment of the post will |
settle labor difficulties in the camp,
the greatest boon that Nevada needed |
will be at hand, for with things in
normal condition over there, money
will again pour into the state, and
the securities will come into their
Bonanza.

HONOR TO GOV. SPARKS.

Governor Sparks in calling for
United States troops did precisely the
ment. The action required high cour-
age and exceptional good common
sense. Had the governor stopped to
go through the red tape process no
one may know what might have at
tended in the way of disaster lit
tie powder viii do quick and ex-
tensive service. The governor simply
was stolen.
Those who know of the needs
which other mining camps have de-
veloped for protection under circum-
stances similar to those developed at
Goldfield, will stand firmly in support
Of the action of the governor and of
the prompt response of the president.
Far better that the troops went in be-
fore trouble than after. If no trouble
comes about it will have been because
of their presence. If it does come
about they will be on hand to stop
1t before more than a small fraction
or the damage that would otherwise
be wrought can occur. As for the Of
ficer in command at Goldfeld, who
will be relieved by General Funston
probably today, If he is finding fault
as reported, with the call of the
troops because no trouble has oc-
Cured, he must be considered either
incapable on general principles or
thoroughly unacquainted with meth

cies of this kind.

probably two more. the Southern Pa

With the reduction works TO do the
business of the mines of the imme
diate district, which have enormous
bodies of ore assuring the operation
of the plants for many years, and
with ore rolling in from every part
of this wonderfully rich state, SEEM
ingly inexhaustibe in treasure, the
outcome in tremendous prosperity for
this camp cannot be questioned. 1t
is merely a matter of little patience.

CAST OUT THE AGITATORS

1t would appear that the mine
owners have determined to operate
the mines without treating with the
union and have taken precautionary
measures by having troops here in
advance, which means that there will
be no lawlessness. The Western Fed
Grafton has not an enviable record in
time of strife and its methods have
not been altogether pacific, but just
now there is no need for federal in
reference. OF course. there are ru-
mors of dynamite plots. which are
usual in such times, but they are cir
culated at all times, and are not to
be credited.
The people of Goldfield want to see
the mines operated, and as soon as
possible, and they want to be free of
constant strife. 1t goes without say
ing that not all of the miners are
agitators, not all of them are lawless,
and these men should be given the
opportunity to work. 1t is we'll known
that many men are dissatisfied with
the foolish attitude of the union and
desire to return to the mines, but the
question seriously arises: Will they
be permitted peaceably to pursue
their labors?
1t is far better to prevent blood
shed by the presence of troops than
to wait until the real damage has
been done. One laughs at the COM
ing of troops today-but what of to-
morrow? Today, with the mines
closed. there is peace, quiet. What
will there be tomorrow with the
mines open? The Independent min
ers have it in their power literally to
spike the guns of the troops Let
them do it by casting out the agita-
tors and the men who are corrupting
true unionism and meet the employ
ers as duals.-Goldfield Chron-
icle.

SMELLING CENTER OF NEVADA

A prominent Goldfield mining man,
says Reno paper, declared recently
at Reno that there would be no
smelter erected in that section by the
Goldfeld people and that report TO
such effect printed last week was
WITHOUT foundation in fact He add
ed that he believed, however, that
the day would come when there
would be one big smelter in Nevada
which would treat practically all of
the ores of the state.
That is precisely our belief; also
that the one big smelter is now in
course of erection at McGill, the ideal
smelter location in the state, because
of water, plenty of level ground and,
above all because the Steptoe Valley
Smelling & Mining company, which
owns the site has surrounded itself
with couple of mnes of territory
by purchase, thus protecting itself
from all future danger of litigation
or of disturbance from outsiders.
At the McGill plants, with their
thorough equipment, the very best
that the best brain of the world has
been able to devise, all the ores of
Nevada can be handled, and in a year
or two the bulk of them will be going
there for custom treatment, adding
to the revenues of Cumberland Ely
and Nevada Consolidated from oper-
alton of the plants and giving to this
district the record of largest output
in bullion values of copper, gold and
silver of any single camp in America.
That is what is assuredly coming
up. Its meaning to the district can
not be looked upon as other than of
the greatest importance 1t means the
bringing to Ely City, as the central
point of the district and as the point
of location of the terminal offices of
the railroads which will bring the
ores of the state here, of offices of
mining companies doing business in
the various districts of the state and
the building up of a mining supply
trade center which will rival in its
extent of business any other town in
the west. 1t will bring hundreds of
mechanics and laborers to
at the reduction work,
and in conduct of the tremendous
work of the railroads in handling the
ores which win come here and in
tdhiH5 care vi tHe vast commercial
business which will require supplies
of all kinds. Population of 100000
people in Ely City alone and of 90
900 more distributed in other por-
lions of the district may be confident
~ expected in the next few years.
The one railroad of today will prob
IDLY enter union depot which will
'eplace the present fine structure and
which will be used by four or five ad-
litional lines These will to a GER

HamiltOn'S Big Lead Output

The old camp of Hamilton, Ne
vada, enjoys a distinction which
has not been generally credited
to it. During the last three years
Government statistics have borne
out the fact that Hamilton. has
produced more than half the lead
output of the entire State of Ne
yada.
This remarkable record has
been made under unfavorable
conditions. In the first place,
Hamilton is situated so miles
from a railroad, and it is only
possible for the mines to ship the
highgrade, leavingt the poorerq quail
ity on the dumps. Although that
camp has been an intermittent
shipper for the last 25 years,
practically all the ore has been
taken from the surface, there be-
ing no attempt at deep mining
