Mint Report For 1908

Tho report of the Director of the
MINIS is at hand and shows some in
teresting things in regard to last years
production of gold and silver bullion.
The total gold production of the United
States was $40. 49,, 100. The total silver
production vas $}7.2o9. 100 for 1908.
Under the head Of different States and
their production the Director says of
Nevada:
"Ncvada has for the last year or SO
attracted more attention from the min
ing people of our country than any other
section by reason of the remarkably
rich mines being developed there. The
gold production for the year is recorded
at Si5,lll 900 or 50, 1872. 100 in excess of
the year Previous. The increase in sill
yer is also large, being 3,012, 200 ounces.
In addition to the TonopIh and Gold
field districts, which have made world
wide regulations for richness, other very
promising districts have been discovered
SO what Nevada can or is likely to do in
the way of gold production in the next
few years mo be readily estimated.
The new railroads being extended III
several directions in different parts of the
State are not only making The discovery
of new mines possible hut are making
possible the opening of profit of old
mines that have been shut down or
abandoned for years"
Nevada is the only State that showed
an increase in her gold and silver prod
ucts.

Pretty Fierce Law

A bill has been introduced in the
Illinois legislature providing that if Il
person becomes intoxicated twice in any
one year he shall be deemed an habiiual
drunkard. The proposed act provides
that drunkards cannot contract mar
riagc and also that applicants for mar
riage licenses shall make affidavit that
they have no been intoxicated twice
during the preceding year.
If such alaw We're i'll force in Nevada
the list of bachelors, we fear, would be
largely increased. and the list of habit
ual drunkards would include a great
many that are now considered sober
men. Such bills as the one before the
Illinois legislature are the work of
cranks and do not help the temperance
