The RISING TIDE OF
GOLD PRODUC.--N

The farmer of large intelligence and
broad views keeps a finger on the pulse
of the worlds industries and a close
watch on the financial conditions which
so materially affect the success of his
operations. Twelve years ago when
the battle of the money standards was
fought to an appraent finish with the
friends of silver enrolled on one side
and the advocates of gold on the other
no element of the country s population
exercised a more decisive influence
than that of the farmer. Whether Dor
rover or lender. the farmer knew That
the value of the money circulated in

When coyote steaks was a morsel and

prospector, '.that the stay-at-home, the
pessimistic and the over-caution will
never get in on the good things which

the country was a matter of the utmost
Importance to him. As a producer, too,
he realized hat that the price of his
marketable products would depend OF
the money standard which the voice Of
the people should decree as lcgiti-
mate.
The battle was fierce and determined
The gold standard won. The friends
of silver and those who proclaimed
themselves in favor of bimetallism Or
the double standard ware grievjolsly
disappointed and anticipate | that, ow-
ing to the relative scarcity If gold,
a period of currency famine, low phi
ces and business depression woull fol-
low. Just then, or very soon there
after, something happened which r,v.
ol~utionized the entire money situation
of the entire world. 1t was something
that neither side expected, at least in
the degree which it occurred.
The change which tool place was an
enormous increase in t he production
of gold, resulting in part from the dis
covery of new mines, but mainly from
the discovery of new processes by
which gold in paying quantities could
be produced by the reduction of low
er grade ores than could be formerly
worked
The event was not merely Of tenn
porary effect and import. 1t was one
of the great historic changes which
radically affect the well-being of man
kind generally, somewhat as it was
influenced by the discovery of Amer
lea, though of course to a less extent.
And the change, to all appearances,
has only begun.
The figures stating the world IS gold
production at intervals of one humid
red years or a little over two cen
turtles past Will give our readers an
idea of the tremendous forces involv-
de in this marvellous increase in the
output of the gold mines of the world.
The output in the year 100 was was
only $7,000,0 900; in 900 it was only

The Prospector
And His Burro

"In our last conversation said
the prospector to his burro, 81 had
considerable to say about the prospec-
tor who endured in and out Of season
while looking for a good prospect, but
who failed to make use of same after
he had found it. We discussed the
hermit of the hills and booze fighter,
both Of whom had found bonanzas in
or the fixed purpose to deelop the
same, or to profit by the discovery af-
ter years expended in the search. You
were much interested in my descrip-
tion of this class of individuals and
were inclined to the opinion that the
hermit ~prospeetor was the real quill
and a man after your own heart,
thus showing that you are not as wise
as you look, and that a burro, no mat.
ter what his advantage, will be
a burro as long as the breed endures,
just as a hermit. transported to scenes
of life and activity, is a hermit in dis
position still, and will never be salts
fed until his return to his solitary
haunts in the mountains.
"But it is another class of men that
] desire to tell you about today, and
this is the man whose greatest ambi-
ton is to follow up every mining
excitemen; to rush to every new dis
covery, and to camp on the trail of
every successful prospector he can hear
Of. This man may be a camp loungcr
but he generally makes good in the
end. He is ready at all times to rush
into a newly discovered district, and
he is as much at home stalking out
claims at the hour of midnight as he
is attending to his ordinary business in
the glare of daylight. No hardship is
too great for him, no part of his strug-
gle to get in on the ground floor, is
too strenuous, and it is a safe bet
he will eventually get there that
he will make good and in the
end secure a fortune. He is none OF
your kid-glove fellows; none what
ever.
Ears continued the prospector, cit
is this rough and ready fellow who gets
into every new camp soon after its dis
covery. A burro is too Glow for him,
for he is on the run from the time he
starts out until he has put up his monu-
ments on the extensions of the new
discovery; and If the new camp
amounts to anything, he has thousands
in the bank and is wearing diamonds
inside Of a year after his locations
are made. Like as not he is regarded
as being one of the prominent figures
of the camp long before the majority OF
capitalists and investors have diseov
cred the fact that a new bononza dis.
trict has been given to the world: and
the camp is almost entirely made up
Of these erstwhile beggars now mining
kings, before the outside world comes
along and bends the knee to these keer
and resolute fellows whose sterling
qualities have made them prominent
citizens of a growing and progressive
camp.
Many instances of this kind arc
on record, although you pay little at
tention to them. The majority of the
wealthy men Of Tonopah TODAY were al.
most penniless and virtually unknown
hve years ago. They went in with
the early rush and secured fractions
and extensions. The sturdy capitalist
OF Goldfeld almost took his life in his
hands when he made locations in this
great gold camp scarce three years ago

$I2, 000, 900, it 1900 it had suddenly
leaped to $685., 900, 900 and in 1907 the
total was the enormous sun of $425,-
100000.
Gold is priced SO highly and boarded
so carefully whether used as currency
or employed in the arts that the
worlds stock is practically all saveo
and carried forward and each year s
output of the mines added to all that
has been accumulated since the world
began. There is a loss by abrasion of
coins and otherwise, but it is probably
smaller than that resulting from the
use of any other staple commodity. In
the light of this fact, it is startling to
be informed, on good authority, that at
the present rate of accelaration, the
worlds stock of gold will again be
doubled in less than twelve years.
Try tho Silver State for results.

Simple Butter Test.

There is a simple test by which any
housekeeper can be reasonably certain
whether she has real butter, the reno
waited article or oleomargarine.
Put a sample Of the doubtful butter
about the size of a small chestnut into
an ordinary tablespoon. Hold this over
a dame-gas, kerosene or alcohol-stir-
ring the butter with a splinter of wood
or a match as IL melts.
Bring to as brisk a boil as possible
and after this has begun stir thorough
~ two or three times at intervals, espe-
cially just before the boiling ceases.
OleOmargarine and renovated butter
boil nolsily, with a good deal of splut-
teEing. They produce no foam or very
little
Genuine butter usually boils with
less noise and produces an abundance
Of foam. 1t is the difference in regard
to the foam which is most marked.

wsmaH's wiz.

An emperor OF Germany besIeged a
city which belonged to one OF his rebel.
dous noblemen. After the siege had
lasted for q long time the emperor de-
termlned to take it by storm and to de-
stroy AL It contained by FIRE and sword.
He did not, however, wish to injure
the defenseless women; therefore, he
sent q proclamation into the town, say
Ing that all the women might leave
the place unhurt and carry with them
whatever they held most precious. The
nobleman's wife instantly decided to
take her husband. and the other wo-
men followed her example. They soon
issued from the city gate In long pro-
cesBion, each one with her husband on
her shoulders. The emperor was so
much struck with the noble conduct OF
the women that he spared all: even the
city itself was left untouched.
