ton of weather that delays it for
moment. A paying mine,
whether large or small, is a con-
stant producer of money, and it
furnishes constant employment to
wage earners in all seasons.
In that respect Nevada differs
from most other mining regions.
Its conditions and climate are such
that the mines never have to shut
down for weather and the mines
in time will be such steady none
tary income for the State that one
season will be the same as another
and money will always be plenti-
full.
Taking into consideration the
further fact that the mineral de-
posts are so numerous and are
distributed over an area that is an
empire in extent, the ideal future
of Nevada for investment and
business of all kinds can better be
appreciated.-Tonopah Sun.

A Club House

Some of the young meE have decided
to take hold of the proposition to have
a club with gymnasium in Yerington.
The plan is to build one-story building
that will be suitable for a club where
reading room, gymnasium and chamber
of commerce room could be maintained.
We understand Frank Downey has vol
unteered to donate lot to build on and
the plans are being drawn for building.
Such a place is badly needed and we
hope the citizens generally will encour-
age and assist the enterprise.

group of claims and have ore that
pans well. The ledge matter is
about 8 feet wide and the pay
streak is IS inches. They have
Just received a new cable and
pullies and are preparing to go
down at least 90 feet further.
This group joins what is known
as the Wheeler Pass group on the
north.
Ben Fisher from Dutch Creek
has struck big ledge just north
west of the Gold Bar property.
The ore is.a copper stained quartz
carrying good values in gold. He
has six claims.
Mr.. Mcleod of San Jose, Cali
fornia, has completed a mill and is
ready to make his first run. He
has the ore bin full of good look
ing ore. He also has an assay
Office. The mill is situated about
two miles northwest of the Gold
Bar properties.
Thomas L. CLANCY, the violinist
who has organized singing class
at Dutch Creek, brought down
some fine quartz showing free
gold from Cottonwood Greek this
week. 1t came from a we'll de-
fined ledge about two feet in
width.
The Paupers Dream Mining
company is planning to commence
work on their property between
Cottonwood and Dutch Creeks.
Pete Nelson is developing his
property on Squaw Creek. He is
tunneling and has opened up ore
that assayed as high as $I6o to the
ton.
The Champion Gulch Mining
company are working men on Cot
tonwood Creek about two miles
from Dutch Creek.
Ed. Hall, a mining man from
Reno, is visiting this section and
is very much pleased with the
showings made thus far.
We wish to again call the at
tention of the merchants of Yer
ington to the fact that your city is
our only market and yet there is
no good wagon road from this dis
trict to Yerington. The sum of
$500 would build a road through
the Wheeler Pass canyon, and
then we could get mining supplies
in by way of Yerington.
]. r. Munden has arrived with
supplies from Yerington and has
commenced work on his Florence
group.
Two of the latest arrivals who
say they have come to stay are
Messrs. Geo. Fowler and w. I.

The Morningstar group, owned
by, T. B. Gambel, is showing up

BLUDGE0N AND BLATHERSKITE.

The latest exhibition of the ere
form campaigners is to have their
organ utter a threat that any County
Supervisor who dares to do his duty
and disturb the lndiscreet Sheriff,
1aukea, will be blackballed and
thrown out at the polls.
OF all the piratical ideas that ever
were promulgated in the name Of de-
cency. British beasts have taken a
hand in politics.
This. reform proposition has re-
solved itself into campaign of
Blatherskite and Bludgeon without
regard for decency of citizenship or
an average moral standard.
The verdict of the Grand Jury is
sufficient to warrant the resignation
Of Sheriff Iaukea, though that body
returned no indictment as the result
of their investigation.
II is about time that the self-re-
speeding citizens OF the city came to
realization that the era of "refor-
nation" is developing into the most
degrading campaign that has ever
been experienced.

II believe" said the Colonel, that
Japan is in worse condition than at
any time since the war with China.
The condition of the people there on
account of the high taxation is Sc

of tons of bran piled up on the
wharyes which had come from Japan
and was to be shipped back to the
Chinese. The Chinese will not buy
this of the japanese, but IL 1t comes
from America they will take it.
Some of the Chinese merchants

BUSINESS AND FINANCE HAVE
BRIGHTER PROSPECT

The financial circulars nave again
become interesting reading as the
time is approaching when the money
and banking systems are to be
put to ths, tes ~ moving the crops
and the prospe<ry of the farmer is
expected to exert an influence for a
speedy return of good times.
Generally speaking, the reports
from all sections of the country are
reassuring. Wall Street in the latter
part of July passed through a bull
movement that put stocks up to and
some little above the figures prevail
ing Just before the panic of last year.
President Roosevet's criticism of the
Federal Court for reversing the Stan
dard Oil twenty lion dollar
fine caused a slump, but this is con-
sidered temporary. The election
prospects have been discounted. 1t is
felt that whether Bryan or Taft is
elected, the country will still live.
The New York Worlds financial
writer in reviewing the situation the
latter part of July takes Il very hope
full tone. He says the money situa-
ton will probably show some change
in the near future.
Chicago is already feeling the de-
mand from the interior for funds to
move the crops, and this inquiry will
continue to increase until the first of
the year. No one expects any strin-
gency, and should there be any strain
upon the banks the Government will
be In position to AFFORD relief.
France and Germany continue to
accumulate gold, though the move
ment OF exchange has recently been
unfavorable to further exports from
this side, and stiffening of money
rates here probably will keep sterling
below the level where shipments car
be made profitably. France is evi
IDENTIFY preparing for Russian loan
and Germany seems to be making pro
vision for any financial shock tina
may result from general business con
ditions in that country.
THE London market has been mar
row and somewhat unsettled by tn,
disturbances In the Far East Thu
new issues of securities which hav,
appeared in our market and in Lon
don have to great extent absorbed
funds which might otherwise have
gone into old-established stocks ant
bonds. Moreover, 1t is known tina
on both sides of, the Atlantic larg,
amounts of new securities are read.
to come upon the market whenevel
conditions permit their issue.
1.-THE crop reports, while showing
slight damage in some quarters, arr
on the whole highly satisfactory an,
present indications are for larg'
yield of both corn and cotton and |
fairly good harvest OF wheat. Thu
maintenance of high prices for corr
insures good returns to the farmer
and indicates, moreover, that the us,
OF corn for food Is gradually increas
ing the world over. The farmer to
day is far more prosperous than an.
other class of producer. and as hi
products are, after all, the foundation
of business expansion, the prospect
in the agricultural regions for thi
