THE SITUATION AT CARSON CITY

The message of the president to
Governor Sparks announcing that the
troops will remain in Goldfield until
the legislature can provide a state
force was greeted with satisfaction
wherever people are Interested in this
rich section of the state. What would
happen were the soldiers withdrawn
can best be understood by quoting
from an interview given out by Will
lam ID. Haywood, the secretary-treas-
urer of the Western Federation of
Miners, to the Chicago correspondent
of the San Francisco Call. Haywood
says:
The United States troops will be
withdrawn from the strike zone in
very short time. Then the strikers
will proceed to win their fight against
reduction of wages and payment in
scrip. "-Goldfeld Chronicle.

There is no question but better
tir es are coming in effect throughout
the country. There are less idle than
there were even a few weeks ago.
Every day the telegraph columns tell
OF the resumption of important in
dustrial enterprises and it now seems
a question of a little while when a
very marked return of old time pros
perity in the country will be in evil
dence. 1t means much new building
and great deal of new Industrial
life, particularly in the proven min
ing districts of the country. No sec
ton has more of these. of greater
value and holding wider attention
from the public than has Nevada.
Much is ahead for the state during
the present year.

CRUSADE ON
LENDER is
STARTED
Operators at Wage
Farmers Expense
Are to be Down
Determinedly

PHILADELPHIA Jan. 22.-The
promised crusade against the So
called loan sharks was started yes
terday by Tim o'Leary, assistant
superintendent of police, with the ar
rest of Arthur Y. Hill, Philadelphia
manager of the Reliance Loan and
Trust company. who was held in ST.
300 bail after waving hearing be-
fore Magistrate Scott When the de-
teetives arrested Hill at. the offices
of the loan company, No. 1910 Wal
nut street, they took away books and
papers which they declare will con-
Wet the company of the charge of
conspiracy TO eNtort money by usu-
ricus rates of interest.
Detectives Souder and Crawford.
Who for six weeks have been investi-
eating the business of % loan COM
panies in the city. under the instrue-
ton of O'Leary, declared after Hills
arrest that they are ready now to go
ahead with their prosecutions to re-
lieve 100000 poor and unfortunate
people in this city whom they say are
1t present in the clutches of money
sharks. The sheriff's office has been
asked to cooperate with the police
by staying all executions for the loan
81 arks and Assistant Superintendent
0Leary also invites all large en-
ployers, especially the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad company. to assist him in
his work of relieving their employees
from the fear of discharge which is
held over their heads by the usurers
Many pathetic cases are cited by
the detectives about people who in
times of sickness and misfortune have
been driven to despair by loan sharks
who have taken from their victims
not only all their possessions, but
oven their means of support by caus-
ing their discharge. One case in
point told of by the detectives is
about a Pennsylvania railroad agent
who had paid back all he borrowed
and more than the legal interest on
tae loan, but was still haunted by the
sharks, who caused his discharge
when he was temporarily unable to
continue payments on account of the
sickness of his wife and five little
children.
All names of victims are kept se-
cret by the police and Assistant SUI
perintendent OLeary declared yester-
day that he will ask all employers to
encourage their employees to furnish
the police with information against
the usurers. A special office for the
detectives prosecuting the investiga-
ton has been established at Room
507, city hall. where all complaints
are received confidentially from the
loan victims

LEAVE THEM GO.

The feeling which has been made
during the week by reason OF unfor-
tunate occurrences at McGill is of
character calling for dispassionate
treatment In the heat of the mo-
ment any attempt on the part of the
public to reach an opinion could not
well be without bias. Ii is best to
leave the situation absolutely and
solely in the hands of the courts
from now on for adjustment.
While the taking of unemployed
Greeks from McGill. where they were
a menace to peace, was move that

COPPER AND THE STOCKS.

Advance in copper the metal and
in copper stocks during the latter
part of last week and the first part of
this week was encouraging to those
interested in the copper mining in
dustry. These were not seriously inn
dressed by declines which We're re-
ported Yesterday. They expect these
viii make occasional appearance, as
they have previously in the last sew
eral weeks. as the result of profit
taking. A part of the investing pub
lie can be expected to take this
course and pocket gains at intervals.
Such has always been the case in the
past and there Is not ground for ex-
peetation of radical change at this
time.
As under previous profit taking
this year, we may confidently expect
that recovery will be early and that
advance will be little interfered with
until a much higher plane is peaehed
by most of the stocks, particularly the
coppers. than they have reached to
this time. The coppers have an
abundance of merit behind them, with
possible exception of a few high cost
riee concerns which will find it
/ eeessary to remain idle for possibly
some little time and can only ex-
peet to get on a lasting basis Of pros
perity through reduction of their
costs which improved machinery and
methods of mine and smelling opera
tons will in most cases help them to
do Cheaper labor and materials will
also probably help materially to this
end, as the new adjustment is work
ed out. In the meantime those who
have money to put in the low cost
coppers can make no mistake by so
doing.

A Colorado mine blacksmith has
permitted himself to be interviewed"
by the Telluride Journal. and has in
formed the readers of that excellent
paper that the great mines of Nevada
are worked out-only few pockets
remaining, and these have been held
in reserve to boost stocks so that in
si6ers can get out this spring. We
are glad to know this and will sell
out as soon as the stock reaches the
high water mark. The blacksmith s
tip may be timely, but we always had
a higher regard for the knowledge of
nine blacksmiths of forging machine
drill bits and repairing broken cars
than for their judgment of ore de-
posits.

NEW YORK. March 24.-There was

denying the fact that wall Street Is
breathing much freer. has a more buoy

will be coming better from this time on.
The elixir that accomplished this hope
fuI change was the Supreme Court de-
Cision declaring the 2-cent fare laws Of

when the market was keyed up by the

strong and accompanied by the per-
Eistent rumors that the forthcoming
message from the White House would
be a very tame document as compared
with fiery epistles that have heretofore
emanated from the Presidential office,
started the whole market on the up
turn.
II Is not believed that the general
public has taken hand in the stock
