There r none of the original
holding companies at present operat-
ing on lode properties, but leasers
are busy-so busy in fact that the
four mills at Manhattan are kept
busy. The leasers are all making
good money, as they are taking out
rock right along of high milling
values, and with no scarcity of it in
any quarter. The leasers and the
placer excitement combine to make
Manhattan a lively camp now. and
there is no reason for not sharing in
the belief of Manhattan residents
that their camp will eventually prove
to be another n of the big, dividend
declaring camps of the state.

The last ten years-whch have marked the real and genera, de-
velopment of the mining industry i this state-have made of Ne
vada a lode mining territory with but few exceptions. The pros-
pector and the investor has n t been looking for placer mines, with
the consequence that there is much rich placer territory which has
never been examined. True, the lack of water has had much to do
witt this, but let the general demand arise and the designers of
mining machinery will devise washing machines, to use cry little
or no water which will amply suffice for all needs. At Manhattan.
Round Mountain, Chafey Humboldt House, even at Goldheld and
Rawhide, placers are now attracting great attention, and will add
enormously to the precious metal production of those camps
There is no reason why the Nevada deserts should not in time
become the scene of some of the greatest and richest placer workings
in the world, There are comparatively few of the mountains and
hills in the desert from the sides of which rock bearing at least traces
taken There is no disputng the volcanic and eruptive origin of
these mountains, and since their formation they have been subject to
erosion by wave, wind, storm and rain and snow to an extent which
is surpassed by examples of erosion in few other parts of the world.
The desert is practically all hills and narrow valleys, dry now, but
from a vast inland sea, to smaller, disconnected lakes. then to
trfcking streams, made torrents in the spring by melting snow and
ice and pouring rain, to the present condition of a few trickles and
rfls, and a good many underground seepages, the change has been
gradual and continually carrying the decomposed rock of the hill
sizes % a lower level. In the valleys the detrHtus is from a few
feet to hundreds of feet in depth, showing that this erosion has ex-
-tehded through periods OF thousands of years. The metal content
OF this drift has always been heavier than the quartz from which 1t
"a Dee separated, and nearly everywhere in the main watersheds.
where systematic effort has been made to expose the bedrock. the
gravel lying over it has been found to yield gold-in some asses in
enormous quantity. The desert has not been prospeeted for placer
gold-but 1t is there. Some how or other the process of washing
virgin gold from the gravels or sands of a watercourse has always
been the most alluring method of mining-primariy because it
needs not the knowledge of geologist and engineer The greatest
gold PUSHES have usually been the ones to a placer country And
some day, when the lode prospector switches to the placer PROPOSE
ton in the desert, backed by a machine which can DO effective work
with a very limited supply of watef, there will be another great rush
to the Nevada felds-one in which the tenderfoot will stand practi-
cahy equal chances with the engineer. The elements work slow, it
is true. But their mills grng exceedingly fine. and their aecumu-
ated work for hundreds of centuries is lying in the beds of ancient
watercourses. waiting the hand oof man to uncover.

The wildcat mining promoter should also come in for close at
tention from the legislature, but-wil he? A wide reaching law reg
ulating the formation of stock companies, the expenditure of monies
entrusted to these companies by purchasers Of stock, and providing
for at least semi-annual publication of the operations and financial
affairs of the concern-embodying expendtures-should be passed.
And this law should make it a felony for Justification of published
reports of this character, or for any violation of its terms. 1t is by
that this evil will be stamped out of Nevada. Validating has al
ready been more disastrous to the mining industry of this state
than the so-called panic, by a thousand times; and these same
wildcat fotations, by which millions of dollars have been taken
from a formerly trusting public, have made Nevada a stencil in the
nostrns of the public in general; have made any allusion to the min
eral wealth of the state come to be designated by a certain inelegant
but expressive current phrase.
The sooner the outside world comes to know Nevada regards
the aeecing of the public by fake mining promotions a a felony, the
better it will be for Nevada Here, in this connection, is where the
mine inspector can do some good work-providing he is a man of
line? The members of the coming legislature have 1t in their power
to be of great and real benefit to the state but are not many of them
sent to the legislature by the men who are back of ilegitimate in
terests for the very purpose of blocking such legislation; and are not
too many of the members of the Legislature planning to make
money from just such wildcat schemes to ever hope for the purnfca-
ton of the mining atmosphere by their action?

HOW COLDS ARE
 CONTRACTED ALWAYS RESULT OF UNDUE
 EXPOSURE Rapid Cooling of the Surface of the Body Brings About the Common Ailments of
 Mankind

An acute catarrh, that is cold, is always the resul. of undue exposure to low temper Stures. The rapid cooling of the surface, when not balanced by proper reaction, pro- duces congestion and inflammation of the nasal and bronchial membranes. Obviously snch an ailment is not communicable, in the ordinary sense from one individual to an- other. As the slightest "cold' predisposes the individual to attacks of the most severe and dangerous catarrhal affections. the ne- cessity for quick cure need not be enforced These facts emphasize the necessity of extra precautionary measures against the ordinary cold. Everyone cannot change his climate al will but may make the most of what he has at home, viz-, take Chamberiain's Cough Remedy as soon as the first indication of the cold appears. IL not only cures acold quickly but counteracts any tendency of the cold to result in pneumonia. This fact has been fully proven during the epidemics of colds and grip Of tine past few years No case of either of these diseases having resulted in pneumonia when this remedy was used has ever been reported Co the manufacturers, and thousands of bottles of it are sold every day, which shows conelusiyeiy that Il. is Doe only the best and quickest cure for coils, but certain preventive of that dangerous dis ease, pneumonia
