400 MEN ON

Four hundred is, approximately, the
number of men now employed in tho
Bullfrog district, and this figure will
probably be increased so per cent be-
fore the end of 1908 by reason of the
starting of mills on the Mayhower and
bullfrog West Extension properties, the
one nearing completion at Beatty, and
the additional forces to be put on in
getting out tho ore, as well as, in the
extensive development of present and
prospective mines. -Bullfrog Miner.

LET JUSTICE BE DONE
THE PRODUCERS OF SILVER
Editor Goldfeld News:

Editor Goldfeld News:
This question affects the whole coun-
try; and especially the silver producing
parts. And no. only those but Mexico,
for our citizens, and there are many of
them, who have their capital in mining
there. Then why not begin a persist
ent campaign through the western press
for the Just arrangement of this matter,
and urge upon your representatives the
righting of this wrong! 1t is of great
Importance to your own and other
states and territories where mining is
or will be carried on; and will increase
as the future unfolds because of in
creased development and output, and
the increased demand for the metal.
For 1906 among the producing states
and territories of the United tSates
Nevada stands fifth in the production
of silver. Those producing over $1,000
900 were: Montana, $~S,4SS,404; Colo
RADIO, $~s.425,52O; Utah, ~$7,7s9,650;
Idaho, 1881, 1885,; Nevada, $3,524,972;
Arizona, 81, ,s22; California, s1,027,
$50. (This was the commercial value
in that year, The commercial value
of the total silver production for that
year was $3S,256,400. The average
price Of silver that year was a fraction
over sixty-fve cents an ounce. If silver
was where it should be, $1.00 an ounce,
it would, as you see, mean many more
millions for the producers, about me-
third. Many mines in operation would
have a large advance in value; and
many mines now idle would be in opera
ton. 1t would mean more labor en-
ployed. more money in circulation and
better social conditions.
AS you are no doubt aware this N
tinent produces four-fifths of the
worlds silver; the United States pro-
ducing almost one-third; the United
States and Mexico over two-thirds.
Mexico should be considered here be-
cause the capital and enterprise of our
citizens is producing a very large part
of the silver of that country.
The worlds production of silver in
fine ounces for 1906 was as follows:

HARDY CHURCH GROOM

In the death Of Mr. Hardy c. Groom.
which occurred Saturday morning at
Denver, Colorado, q bright young
man, a loving husband and father
closed his all too short life and ended
several years Of suffering.
Mr. Groom was a son of AlOnZo &.
Groom Of Tallahassee. the comptroller
OF the state. He was twenty-six
years Of age and was born in Brooks
Vile, where he resided until the fam
lily moved to Tallahassee about the
time Of his marriage To Miss Salli"
Bell. of this city, some half dozen
years ago.
Mr.. Groom has been incapacitatPd
from doing office work for several
years and with his wife has visited
most of the noted health resorts of
the country. with the hope of re-
gaining his health. During these
years he spent much Of the time with
specialists in Asheville. Colorado and
Texas, and at time it seemed that he
would recover. The devotion of his
young wife and his father through
these years OF trials and suffering
was very touching. Mr.. Groom gave
his sick son the benefit of everything
| that money could buy in the vain
! hope Of bringing his health back.
While the death Of Mr.. Groom was
not unexpected to his friends, it is
none the less sad The body was
prepared for burial and shipped tC
Tallahassee where it will be laid tc
rest beside their first born child. Mr.
Groom leaves one bright little son
about four years old and young
| wife to mourn his loss. Their many
Ocala friends will give the bereaveC
| family their deepest syInpathieS.

Her Telephone Hour.

A girl whose engagements are many
and who is therefore out a good deal
has established a telephone hour. In
this way her friends are always sure
Of catching her on the wire, and she
comes in Tor many unexpected good
times that otherwise might be missed.
Until she did this it was almost i'm
possible to get her. Now If she is
not at home at the telephone time she
calls up the house and tells her maid
where she may be reached. The ar.
rangement works TO a charm. she
says. and nothing would induce her to
20 back to the haphazard fashion of
any and no time.
