WHAT FORESTS DO.

Next to our need of food and
water comes our need of timber.
Our industries subsisting wholly or
materially upon wood, pay the wages
of more than one and one-half mil
lion men and women. Forests not
only grow timber, but they hold the
soil, and they conserve streams for
eli useful purposes, How far forests
increase tbs rain Is not yet known
II is well known that they chech
winds, and work against excessive
heat or cold. =
That they make for the fiber,
health, and happiness of each citizen
and OF the nation, has been known
since history began. The fish which
live in forest waters furnish each
year twenty-one million dollars
worth of food, and not less than half
as much is furnished by the game
which could not exist without the
forest

the section committee on forests of
the national conservation commits
sion, presented and read the commit
tees inventory of the forests at to-
days session of the commission.
Reading of the report consumed most
of the morning session. In minute
discussion which followed, the gov
ernors of several states pledged
themselves to cooperation with the
federal government in a practicable
scheme of conservation of the ma

face OF the drift is out about IA feet. an advance OF

lave more than doubled In that distance. The big

within the next eight or ten days. We Will start a
erosscut to the east from the 2oo-foot station. The
shaft is down nearly 500 feet. and we will be cutting
q station at the 3oo-foot level by Sunday. We have
made a contract with the Rawhide Victoria Leasing
company owning the block adjoining the Big Four on
the east to develop its ground by means of a crosscut
TO the east on the e00-foot level. We will begin
work on this at once ond will also crosscut to the

world, and neither its length nor its depth is known.
Only is it known that the ore deposit is of enormous
proportions.
1t was on precisely such a showing as this that
Goldfeld founded it's revival. 1t was the news of
D strike similar to that made on these two leases
that the word went forth to the world that the camp
had made good. What followed in the case of Gold
field is very easily recalled. Stocks which had been
selling for a few cents a share jumped, in the tick
ing of a watch, to a valuation in dollars, and they
Kept on upward, moving by leaps and bounds, and
giving those who were on the qui vive for specula-
tive profits small opportunity to buy at low figures.
The prosperity of Goldfeld dates from the time
these discoveries were made, just as will Rawhide' IS
real history date from the strikes on the Grutt Hill
Coalition, the Grutt Hill Mint, the Big -Four, and
the other leases and workings that are so rapidly
demonstrating to the world that Rawhide has the
ore with which to make good on all the representa-
tons made in its behalf.
And this proof of merit comes at a thine when
the stock buyer has his opportunity still open to
him. Rawhide stocks are today to be had for frac-
tions of real values. When the Goldfeld movement
started, heavy capital was already interested in the
camp. 1t had its sentinels out, and on the alarm
they sounded, it was capital which seized the first
opportunities. In Rawhide, owing to the fact that
heavy operators were not free to engage in new
ventures at the time that Rawhide was first opened
up, the best things in the camp are still owned so
that the public has an opportunity, by acting
quickly. to share in the bonanzas. The Grutt
Brothers, owning Rawhide Consolidated, have re-
fused fattering offers for their property. They are
far from being millionaires as things stand, but
rather than sacrlnce tnelr hoidings Tor portage, they
are satisfied to content themselves with royalty re-
turns, to bang on, selling just enough stock to meet
requirements, and to wait patiently for the coming
of the big upward movement. E. ". King, the well.
known Montana operator who owns the control OF
Rawhide Queen, is holding it against handsome of
fers, and the control of Coalition is so disposed that
j. is certain that it will not be gobbled up by a few
millionaire operators, and the public excluded.
To these men belongs the credit for the oppor-
t~unities which Rawhide offers at this time. Weeks
ago they determined that the public should have a
chance in Rawhide, and they marked down the
price of stocks to fractions of their actual value.
The public responded to the invitation, and there
has been a wider distribution of the meritorious
Rawhide issues within the past four weeks than
there was in the preceding four months. The. effect
of this must be obvious. With the public already
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-08-29

interested, and with a great number of mining
stock buyers daily yielding to the attraction of low
prices, a demand is being created for the Rawhides
which means activity hereafter in the market-places.
A trading element, welded to the Rawhides, has
been created, and that element consists of a vast
number of small holders, instead of a few men with
extraordinarily long bank accounts and an ambition
to monopolize all of the good things for themselves.
Now, on the heels OF this creation of a trading
public, and with the stocks so held that the public
still has its opportunity to get in at the low prices,
come the reports of phenomenal ore discoveries, of
the opening of new bonanzas, the tapping of new
treasure -vaults-i in a word, the news which tells the
world that Rawhide has the goods, and is prepared
to make good on its promises, just as did Goldfcld.
And we predict for Rawhide u repetition Of the
Goldfeld market. The big men have stayed out of
the camp too long; they cannot control it now. The
small buyer has secured his block of stock, and il
closely following the market, and the control of the
principal properties is so held that he is protected.
The big stock buyers and heavy operators must,
therefore, go to the source of supply for their in
terests in Rawhide. He must buy in the open mar
kets, and under the pressure of his and
gold always attracts gold-prices are going to adj
vance. 1t will be a duplication OK the Goldfeld ex-
perience, with stocks that are to be had for a small
part of par value reaching par in a triee, and then
moving up by bounds to many times par value.
This result is inevitable. The public is prepared
for it. Heavy capital will not Withstand the tempta-
ton to acquire tremendous interests in this latest
gold-producing camp. Rawhide Coalition, Rawhide
Queen and Rawhide Consolidated will within the
next few months score stupendous appropriations in
value.
For the man who is looking for profits, the les
son is clear. The heavy buying on ore showings re-
Gently made has not yet started. The news is just
getting out to the world. In Rawhide and Reno,
where it is already known, it has had its reflection
ir a flood of 'sbuy'' orders. Soon, as the distant
buyer wakens to his opportunity, the pressure of
orders waiting for execution will increase hourly,
with the result that price movements will be made
with bewildcring rapidity. When that time comes,
arbitrary prices will not prevail Prices will be
governed by the demand, and with the demand
steadily increasing prices must increase.
Under the pressure of this quickening demand,
present prices for the Rawhide leaders will be for
got. and out of the increases those who buy now
win reap fortunes, such as have not been wrested
from the market-places since the Goldfelds started
on their remarkable upward movement.
