TUNGSTEN IN NEVADA.

The tariff discussion is of special interest to the people of Ne
vada who are interested in developing an infant industry that has
never been identified with the mineral products of Nevada. This is
the production of tungsten in commercial quantities. Round Noun
would bring into the market a large area of the very productive ter
rtory that has never been classed with the gold and silver estates
Through the efforts of Senator Guggenheim, of Colorado, an
amendment to the tariff providing for a duty Of u per cent on
tungsten ores has been adopted by the senate committee. While
this is not as much as the producers hoped for, it is accepted with
of Colorado to continue in operation, as it means a duty of $54 per
ton on a so per cent product and at the price prevailing when the
steel market was active it means 500 per ton for the producer of so
per cent tungsten. Tungsten ranks with one ethe are minerals,
like molybdenum that are used fer the purpose OF increasing the
tensile strength Of steel and giving a keen edge to cutting tools.
The consumption is comparatively small, but any increase in the
quantity of the ore would enable manufacturers to extend the hor-
lion of use and thus expand the market
At Round Mountain a company has cut a belt that is estimated
TO be from 60 to $50 feet wide that carries sdngers averaging from
through tunnels so that the output will average s25 per ton. The
company proposes to erect a mill on the ground making it second to
none in the United States and the plan have only been delayed by
the dfatory action on the tariff. The chief producers of tungsten are
situated in Boulder county, Colorado, where the maximum produe-
ton was obtained in 1907, when the output aggregated 1900 tons,
amounted to 100000. Last year, owing to the restricted operations
of the steel trust, the value fell to IS per unit and the production
decreased to about 800 tons. The leading operators are the Primes
Chemical company of Primes, Pennsylvania, and the Firth Stirling
company of Mckeesport, Pennsylvania, and Washington, d. c. The
Primes company is the largest dealer and refner Of tungsten in the
country, and the Firth Stirling Steel company is a large user of
tungsten in its mills. At anything less than Sc per unit there is
very little profit in mining for tungsten and but small quantities are
offered when the price falls below this figure, and it is believed
that with a duty that will utilize the difference in cost of production.
ON account OF cheap labor in foreign countries, from which the ore is
now brought in duty free, at an ocean rate often lower than the rail
rate to the point of consumption. that a price around SIS will be
steadily maintained and that tungsten mining will then be establish
ed on a reliable and permanent basis-Goldheld Tribune.

SUGAR.

Referring to Secretary Wilson's recent statement to the effect
that it is possible for this country to produce from beets. FIVE
times the quantity Of sugar required by the American market, the
New York Sun has this to say:
In 1908 there were sxtyfour beet sugar factories in the United
States, an increase of ffty-eight in twelve years. The Yield in 1906
was about so 900 tons. The output now is about $50 1000 tons
Taken by itself this is an important and significant fact. 1t appears
as an ample Endorsement of Mr.. Wilson's statement. There is. how
ever, another side to the matter. During the twelve year period
which shows an increase of 100000 tons in the annual OUTPUT of
beet sugar the American demand for sugar has increased from O.
0 5000 tons annually to 100000. The sugar tariff is maintained
at its present high if not actually exhorbitant rate largely for the
purpose of protecting and developing the American beet industry
1t is undeniable that the imposition of a duty mainly for the pur-
pose of stimulating and increasing this industry has increased the
cost of the entire quantity consumed by a sum not far from total
tonnage consumed multiplied by the rate of duty.
During the last twelve years the Votal consumption has been
about SO,OO0,OOO tons The average duty has been approximately
$5 a ton. Therefore, partly for revenge, partly for the protection
Of the cane sugar industry of Hawaii, Porto Rico and Louisiana, but
largely for the benefit of the American beet sugar Industry the peo-

ONLY A C ISSUE.

The tariff after all is a local issue.
Not long ago, as time runs, one of prominent standing, simple
faith and small professions, made a statement of this kind and the
politicians of the country laughed at him. He was up for office at
the time. He was Democratic nominee for the presidency Of the
nation, and his name was General Hancock, but he had the right
of it.
The pulling and hauling that tariff schedules are receiving at
Washington at this time by the politicians who happen to be sena-
tors and congressman, proves beyond a shadow of doubt that the
tariff after all, is a purely local issue.
In the discussion now going on in Washington and the manner
in which men from different sections of the country are voting,
one can easily see the practical business sense practicesd by the big
interests when the promoters and owners thereof sell or give stock
In these interests and enterprises to congressman and senators.
1t is these things that make the American people suspicious.
If the tariff ever held place as a national issue on the basis of its
national character, that time has long passed.
Really, it has passed being even a local issue and has descended
to the poisonous level of personality.

GRAVE TROUBLES.

The following is going the rounds a a bit of newspaper humor
worked out by somebody who was otherwise out of employment. The
responsibility for it is showed off on a man who is supposed to have
committed suicide because of his perplexties in seeking to find out
just what were his relations Before or after death, he said:
Il married a widow who had a grown up daughter. My father
visited our house very often, fell in love with my stepdaughter and
married her. So my father became my soninlaw. and my step
daughter my mother, because she was my fathers wife. Some time
afterward my wife had a son-he was my fathers brotherinlaw
and my uncle, for he was the brother of my stepmother. My faith
ers wife, that is to say, my stepdaughter, also had a son; he was,
of course, my brother, and in the meanwhile my grandchnd, for he
was the son of my daughter. My wife was my grandmother, be-
cause she was my mothers mother. / was my wife's husband and
grandchld at the same time. And as the husband of a persons
grandmother is his grandfather, l was my own grandfather"

PIN HEADED POLICY.

President Stubs of the University of Nevada. or rather his PIN
headed assistant who refused to loan the mineral exhibit to be taken
to the Alaska-Yukon exposition, should be exied from the state. By
his refusal to allow the exhibit to be taken to Seattle, Nevada will
not be represented. This same collection Of minerals was presented
to the university by Sam Davis, the publicity commissioner, and
when he asked for the loan of the same was refused, because he
would not consent to give some professor a fat salary to accompany
the exhibit.
This same President Stubs will be before the next legislature
asking for unreasonable appropriations to carry on the institution
and then will be the time to hand it back to him with a doze of his
own medicine. 1t is an outrage that an appropriation was not made
by the legislature for a proper exhibit of Nevadas resources at the
coming exposition. Had Sam Davis asked for a half dozen clerks
and stenographers the legislature would have made the appropria-
tion, for they were more than generous in this line in giving away
the peoples money.

pie of the United States have paid during the last twelve years
more than $1,0OO 900 over and above the normal cost of pro-
ducing sugar plus the cost of handling, refining and distribution and
handlers profits. Approximately $600,00O,00O of this has gone to the
United States treasury as customs revenues. TIE remainder has
gone for the encouragement of a domestic industry which now
represents a capital investment in factories of about $70,0O0,O00
and a present annual income to farmers of about $20,00O,OOO for
beets. aye
1t is not entirely a question whether the United States can or
cannot produce its own supply of sugar. 1t is rather a question
whether, in view of the enormous cost of doing so, there is proper
Justification for protecting the industry in zones in which the root
cannot be grown at a fair and reasonable cost. In his estimate of pos
sible production Mr.. Wilson uses as a basis those portions of the
United States adapted by nature and by the aid of irrigation to its
(the sugar beet's) culture. In those areas beet sugar is produced
at a cost which entirely fails to justify the rate now imposed. The
American people now pay about $500, 900, 900 a year for sugar. A
reduction of half a cent a pound in the duty would destroy no justi-
hably established industry, would have all reasonable encourage
ment for extension of beet enterprises and would save to the Amer
lean consumer not far from $40, 900. 900 a year.

WOULD MUZZLE THE PRESS.

Evidently Attorney H. S. Cooke, one of the attorneys for the
Infant Kid" in the gambling case against the SixySix club of Rhy-
ohte, would have the press muzzled. For he stated to the court yes
terday morning-holdingt three copies of the Daily Bonanza, the
most influential paper in southern Nevada-in his hands and point
ing to articles in regard to the trial said, that it looked as though
the Daily Bonanza was trying to intimidate and prejudice the jury
against his client. oh, what hog wash, and coming from a man
who claims to be a legal light. Mr. Cooke knew when he made the
statement that it was a falsehood and only one OF his gallery
plays.
The Bonanza will publish at all times what is news, and if 1t sees
fit to speak of a defendant or plaintiR it will do so without asking
or submitting a proof to Mr.. Cooke.
A newspaper is a dissemination of news and the constitution of
the United States gives to its people a free press. Under those
rights the Bonanza will not allow itself or any individual, clique
or corporation to place a muzze upon its publication
But really, Mr.. Cooke wanted to be funny yesterday. and we be-
Ieve the Infant Kid will agree with us.
