The railroads propose advance in
freight rates in preference to cut in
wages. The grocer. the butcher and
the merchant must then advance
prices or cut wages. But the buyer
has not the money to purchase at
present prices. The manufacturer is
finding in consequence that he cannot
sell at reduced prices. The steel
mills, the copper producers, the man
ufacturers of textiles are all in the
same boat. Where are we going to
get off If there is no reduction of
prices and of wages and can the rail-
roads alone stand out for higher
prices and high tide prosperity
wages? The proposition looks as If
it had false bottom. Reduction of
wages all around along with reduc-
tiOn Vi Bllttb oh al
seems the only reasonable hope for
correction of the present situation.
In hard times low wages must be ex-
pected. AS times improve wages will
advance of their own yolition, as
they have in the past. But with wage
reduction there must be reduction of
the cost of the necessities of life, and
this the railroads proposed advance
in freight rates would not permit.
II looks like selfish move, the final
outcome of which cannot be good for
the railroads, the railroad employees
nor the public.

OFFICERS AND PLANS
ARE ANNOUNCED.

\ new organization In the district,
starting out with much promise. was
recently formed at McGill under
name of the Steptoe Valley Athletic
association. officials at the reduc-

forces, are the active spirits behind
the movement and they propose 10

Messrs. Brown and Kellogg, who
we're appointed at the last meeting. OF
the association, form soliciting COM

For the present and until the STEP

following will constitute the perma-

to look after its affairs:

ceedingly good sound 1t is what the
district and the stock holders of Cum

have been waiting for. Now that ii
is at hand results will not be long in
making themselves felt. 1t means
more work at the mines, more work
at the reduction plants. more work
for the railroad boys, more work for
the clerks, the merchants. the team
sters, the carpenters-more work for
everybody. The more work there is
the more money in circulation. The
more money the more business and
the faster the growth of the COM
munity in population, municipal i'm
provements and building and real es-
tate interests. From now on we are
to climb rapidly. The start has been
made. and every day will see little
more Roadway, until the enormous
maximum output to which the Step
toe reduction plants are building is
reached and the district is output

state in the union has heretofore put

MORAL influence OF PIG IRON

Our ethical instructors are always
ready TO point out the demoralizing
influence of the Stock Exchange, but
bank defalcations of nearly five mil
lions in three years in the city of
Pittsburg raise the question of the
moral influence of legitimate industry
in its most solid and substantial
form.
Except real estate, IL would be
impossible to name any subject of
commerce more thoroughly respect
able than iron. 1t Is absolutely
necessary to industry of every sort.
1t is the foundation of all manufac-
turing. 1t involves the application
of labor to widely diffused gift of
nature In England it is a subject of
speculation, like wheat and copper
and stocks, but there is next to moth
ing of that in this country. Iron
futures are not dealt in on the ex-
changes. If there is any one industry
more than another which is legiti-
mate and wholesome il is the man
ufacture of pig iron.
And yet there are few articles sub
ject to such violent fiuctuation of
price. The men who wish to break
up the exchanges and send men to
Jail for option trading ought to
ponder the remarkable fluctuations
in iron prices, somewhat steadied at
present by the great influence of the
Steel Corporation and allied combi-
nations. Fortunes have been made
in Wall street, and the effect OF this
on men who have not yet made

fortunes, but hope to, is the same in
the iron capital as in the money
capital of the country. Wheat,
cotton and stocks do not breed money
madness faster than pig iron does,
and option trading does not appear
more malign than cash trading; the
influence of professed manufacturing
is not different from that of avoWed
speculation. In the passion TO get
Itch quick the employees of six banks
in the Pittsburg district have stolen
nearly five million dollars in three
years. If there were such record
as that in Wall street we should get

be put on ore that will be opened in
addition to that which is now deyel-
oped Bisbee is a wonderful camp of
high grade copper ore and has paid
in the last 20 years over 100000
600 In dividends. Bisbee has not
now and never has had the enormous
amount of ore that is in sight here.
and from which copper will be pro-
dueed at less cost than Bisbee pro-
duces per pound. First among all
of them, is Ely district, with her
properties now entered upon an era
of production which is going to
startle the world with its vastness
and its cheapness. Good as govern
ment bonds are the stocks of Ely's
two great copper companies, Cumber-
land Ely and Nevada Consolidated,
while investments in realty in the
district afford opening for the piac-
ing OF money safely and profitably
that is excelled in no locality in the
west and equaled in few. Also it is
a mighty good locality to look to in
business way. There are big OPP
portunities here in every way.
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-05-17

Ely district is good to stay with.
None other ON earth has bigger things
ahead in the production of prime
necessity of the age, copper. Men who
work here and who go along indus
trious. saving lines will come out
well ahead in the worlds goods,
while the opportunities for judieious
investment of capital with result of
great gains are abundant The camp
holds good things for all-the Ia
borer, the mechanic, the merchant
and the professional man. 1t is hope
less in opportunities for none. IL is
at the present time affording work
at fair wages. Few other copper
camps are affording as much work
and as good wages. If you are of
those working here. keep your job.
1t will pay. and will save joining the
thousands of unemployed throughout
the country who are now hunting
work and are likely to continue so
doing through the most of this year,

since he first took hold. That is the
history of all copper camps. Ely is
going to be no exception-could not
be il ii so wished No power on earth
can divert the ultimate greatness
which is coming here through abso-
Lutte force of resources and adyan-
tages of location. Success, complete
and great is as certain as the rising

No copper camp in the world ever
had as much ground for enthusiasm
at the same time of life as Ely has
today. In the time that has been ex-
pended in opening the mines of this
district and in building reduction
works. more has been accomplished
than ever before in copper camp in
the world in double the length of
time that Ely has employed. With
its few years of active life at devel-
opment and construction, Ely dis
trice has opened wealth which is
greater than that of any other cop
per camp in the country. Bingham
is declared greater than Butte in ore
in sight. Ely is conceded to be
greater than Bingham. The latter
has more ore opened. but Ely has op-
ened sufficient ground to carry con-
viction to everybody who has looked
upon it that no limitation may now
