EDITORIAL COMMENT.
RA Wide TO HEP NEVADA MINING.

There is no question that the excitement over the discoveries at Raw
nide have done the whole business of mining in Nevada good. Some Of
the older camps have feared that their interest would be hurt by the
focusing of public attention upon the new camp and the introduction
,newly discovered bodies of very rich ore. Just when the strikes of gold
were being announced stocks of the older mines fell and this added to
the general fear that Rawhide would consume too much of the money
that was being sent West for investment. But that was not a sound
view to take of the situation. The Goldfelds, Tonopahs and other shares
pquickly revived, and with the termination of strife at Goldfeld between
the operators and the union, which seems near at hand, the market for
all will continue to improve.
General conditions will add to this Improvement One of the best
signs o a turn for the better in the tide of affairs is found n the fact
thought is now being directed to the future. Recovery from the effects
of the depression has been slow, and a general convalescence is what
Rhe financial doctors have said was needed. The malady has been given
time to wear itself out and the patient is conscious Of returning strength.
With this feeling of recuperation is sure to com confidence, lack of
which was the whole cause of the evils from which the country was suf-
8enng
With completely restored confidence reinvestment of capital must
faeeds follow and when the strings On the money bags ar loosened there
will be plenty of capital for all the mining investments in whatever
part of Nevada situated,
The Rawhide discoveries will serve to quicken the pulse Of the East
for Western mining securities Therefore it is a mistaken policy to de-
tract from the claims of the ley camp If Nevada had only M camp
nt would be infinitely weaker in the East than it is now with a dozen
or more all claiming attention and all bending their energies to the work
of raising capital with which to carry on enterprises. In the effort to
interest III country in mining the more the merrer" should be the
slogan, another trte sentiment should be Let us all pull together"
If, IS alleged. Goldfeld is jealous of Rawhide it is a bad policy for
u to be So IL should extend a helping hand to the infant cam and do
everything in its power to raise it to fulLgrown strength. If the pres
lent promise of Rawhide shall be fulfilled in the coming years, Nevada
will be enormously strengthened. 1t will be helped along to first Mace
IN the list o gold producers of the United States, and when men think OF
turning to mining the State will be the first to suggest itself as AMI in
~iing field for investment.-Mining and Engineering Review.

LORENA is NEW
AND S CAMP

AND bOSI1 CAMP
One of Nevada's new and lusty
camps is that of Lorena. The camp
is located on the Mina-Rswhide road,
eighteen miles south and west OF that
great gold camp. A townsite has been
plated and more than a hundred
lots were disposed of the first day.
Five saloons, three restaurants, four
lodging houses, two brokerage con-
Germs, an assay Office and United
States mineral surveyor, and a news
paper start the town off with a rush.
Mining men who have given the
camp a thorough inspection, state
that from surface indications it
promises well.
II is located in the same range Of
mountains and the. people think II Is
without doubt a continuation of the
Rawhide mineral belt.
A strong company this week took
over the Little Florence group and
viii at once begin a campaign of Wig

has strong outcrops of quartz show
ing up for a width of zoo feet and
giving values of SO to $11 on the
surface. Among other good prop
critics are claims held by Paul Buck

Davis and Bovard, two of the orig
inal locators of the Rawhide camp.
J. Holman Buck is heavily interested
in the new camp, being one of the

nothing in it except as prices are equahzed by the general diffusion of
information by the exchange quotations.
II, however, gambling operations could be stopped by law, public

well to keep trying so long a S no serious injury is inflicted upon legiti

ion now made common property by the exchange quotations. The prac-
ucal dlhculty in suppressing gambling transactions in futures is that
Inc iofm o contract in such a transaction usually is and always may be
identical with that of a legitimate contract for intended delivery. Actual
delivery can be enforced under such contracts. and if, when they ma
lure, M party who stands to gain chooses to accept a money compensa-
ton instead of the delivery to which he is entitled, we hardly see how it
can be prevented. OF course, a high tax can be levied on all sales on
exchanges, which would be so much taken out of the price of the prod

but its economic injury is confined to those who are fools enough to en-.
