GOING TO EXTREMES

In the present excitement over the
rich discoveries at Rawhide many
newspapers are guilty of exaggeration
regarding that camp. In giving the
opinion of one mining engineer. who
saws the vast deposits at ..awhide will
demonetlze the value of the standard
metal, the San Francisco Examiner
publishes half a column about Raw
hide. Such a circumstance is redicu-
lors even in conception. Another ar
ticle tells of the panning at Rawhide
that will average $500 to $500 in
gold, which is highly probable.
And on the otter hand there are
papers which are seeking to take from
the glory of Rawhide One o. these
latter is a Winnemucca paper. Arti-
cles are published that are shaped up
and construed so as to register a
knock against the new Nevada camp.
The going to these ex
tremes are wrong. The former, be-
cause it is a nine to one shot that
Rawhide will never make good the
stupendous predictions that have been
published. And even, though the camp
ascends to the Goldfield standard
there will be those who have been sad
ly disappointed by the articles that
have been published.
The papers committing the more
grievous error, however, are those
that are seeking to knock Rawhlde.
We might expect a paper published IN
another state to knock a Nevada camp,
but a legitimate Nevada paper never
And those Nevada papers which are
showing venom against Rawhide have
wandered far from the poiicy of

preach the gospel of fighting against
