REPUBLICAN EXCUSES FOR BARTLETT

ONE time ago The Goldfeld News, commenting upon certain seeming
party derdictOns evidenced by h vote If Congressman George Bart
~ lett on national issues, Infatuated that while Mr.. Bartlett was sSr to
congress as a Democrat and that his fealty is due that party his Affiliations
are swinging toward the Republican party.
Congressman Bartlett has made o personal explanation % the several
representative papers of the Nevada Democracy that made comment upon his
seeming change of heart, nut it is most significant that the Reno Gazette, the
Republican machine organ, breaks III silence with n apology for Bartlett as
follows:
THE Ely Expostor, of which Governor Ddckeron is proprietor. indicates
a willingness to cad Congressman Bartlett out Of the Democratic party for
voting to seat Joe Cannon in the speakers chair, and also for standing in for a
protective duty on hides lumber, etc. Now W . would like to give the Demo
cratic party in Nevada a little sound advice, If it wishes to stay on the poht
ial map. That is, that it had better follow Congressman Barthtt's lead than
the leadership # some OF those who are so anxious to idetrack him. Georges
head always ran more to brains than to hair, except around the fringes and
it's a head that thinks. He has undoubtedly seen the error of his party on a
number of questions and is big enough to jump the traces and vote with the
Republicans N all national essentials, and with his party n nonessentals.
''Unce Joe had a mortal cinch IN The speakershp. He had a grip or that
chair that was compound riveted. and George was not going to render him.
rapping his knuckles. when he could ause Uncle Joe always to see his shin
ing dome by standing in. That was wisdom And wisdom being mdemo-
cratic, George, If course, was compelled to go outside If strict party lines to
exercise il. We are beginning ourselves to think that George is almost smart
enough TO be a Republican,

THE DAY OF REAL MINING

AcH WEEK shows renewed confidence and increased interest by invest
os in the future of Nevada and he mines This is exempnaed by the
II purchase of important and valuable mining properties, which means
greater development of the veins and the opening If To- ore bodies that will
add their quota to the output of precious metals. II means thu employment
Of more men, the advancement: If the general mining interests Of om partic

state. This mining in the ground Is the real PROPOSE
uon thai means something o a permanent character Tor he advance Of civil
izauon and industrial life Of the DESERT which, although sometimes minvting
in the Tenn OF its aspects, has 10 many times and in so many places
proven to be a great treasure house Of mineral wealth.
In a general way mining stock investment has lot much Of the atuac
ton That 1t nee possessed, and investors are putting their money into the
ground by purchasing properties N their " ccoun an prosecuting the
development thereof rather than Il take their chances ON mining stock cerua-
cates and tn administration or INSTRUMENTATION Of others.
The laws recently enacted by the legislature of Nevada for the protection
in that form Of investment and will to a large extent safeguard those who
their money to others in that way. The basic principle # mining pro-
motion by the sale II stocks is perfectly legitimate and frequently the most
desrabe or available way of raising funds for development The criticism
which has followed and become almost a nightmare is due to the exploitation
of properties Of questionable or n merit at all, and the misuse Of thu funds so
secured. and very frequently when the properties really did possess merit and
a good lighting chance to develop into mines.
It is a good thing for the state that investors have 10Y been placed o n
their guard against fraudulent and questionable promotions, n that they
will in future use that caution which they would naturally use in any other
business venture The day of the ''wildcatter' is passed so ar as Nevada
lie has learned a costly lesson from becoming entanged with the breed, and
will in the future us caution ant judgment in their investments 1t is for the
upbulding and betterment Of the mining interests that the mistakes Of the
past will result and the greater caution used by investors, the greater Is
their chance to reap the rewards they should.
This suspicion Of mining stock investment in general has not been entirely
without benefits in the way Of direct investment in properties the intelligent
development Of which will add more producing mines to the credit Of Nevada.
and lead to greater confidence and cooperation in the mineral resources o the

BETTER RAILWAY RATES FOR THE WEST

- CONFERENCES between the Interstate Commerce Commission and the
tranc managers of the great transcontnental roads bid fair to bring
m relief to the people Of the intermountain country, if reports from
Washington lay be accepted at their face value. Spokane mas already re-
III relief fr which it applied, through the commerce commission, and
it appears that the Utah shippers are also being considered.
The Spokane case was analogous to that of the Nevada case. The mr-
pay the through rate to Seattle and then for the haul back to Spokane from
Seattle. at local rates. when. as a matter of fact, the shipments we're never
hauled to Seattle. but were shifted ofat Spokane originally, Spokane being
between Seattle the eat, on the main limo Il tramc.
In Nevada the cae Is even more aggravated, shipments II Nevada points
ron the east havingto ~ the through rate to Sacramento, thence BAG to
Rem or Hazen, wherever the point OF distribution, It local rates.. The haul
to Sacramento and return is new made, however.
All through the intermountain region the railroads innict the IN hard
upon the peope-consctingh heavy toll fol. services which are never per-
formed. The Nevada case IL more fragrant than was the Spokane case, and
there car be M doubt that the Nevada merchants an shippers will receive
son measure II the relief prayed for. Therei is abundant evidence that the
general rMe system Of the eranscontnental railroads in the intermountain
country needs general revision We only hope that the hibernate Commerce
commission IA the knowledge. backbone and power necessary t. compel
equitable ates-aud enforces them.

Nv Ter visit SON of the outside districts, and ask a few questions.
w He win find that all through he southern end Of the state. and in
those portions Of Arizona and New Mexico closest to Goldfeld, the mining
operators look for the money they iced for development work to come from
Gold6ed, directly or indirectly. Mining men are realizing the fact as never
before, that the men in 0odhed who have money are always ready to place it
n a mining proposition which las appearance Of making good, and that it is
to Goldheld that the outside capitalist comes for information and that he
mak his headquarters for his outside work N GoldfAd. Hence it is to
Godfed that h mining mar turns, whether or local or outside capital.
Witness Pioneer, Hawthorne, Manhattan, Round Mountain, Hornslver,
n a scoreo II other camps In them you find Goldheld mon and money at the
head Of practically everything.
With thu coming of the Goldfeld-Ely railway Goldfeld will be made
wen more OF a central point, not only for capital and rendezvous. but for
machinery, supplies, and ultimately as the gateway for reduction of ores
The American Mining congress, which meets here in September may be
made thu greatest advertisement which 0odfed has evr had, if every one
puts his shoulder to the wheel and gives OF his time, or money, or both, and
in a general way, but it will give mining men Of affairs n intimate knowl-
edge If what Goldneld and Nevada actually have in the way of mines
developed and undeveloped, that will g far toward expedithng future develop

So before ou begin to deprecate the future of Godfeld, and to draw a

MR. WILLIAMS PICTURE
CAUSES NEAR-PANIC

WASHINGTON, March 6.-When John
Sharp Williams, for six years minority
leader, left the house to rest two years
before coming to the senate, he did not
take with him, after an official presenta-
ton, any memento of the esteem in which
his fellow members held him. 1t was not
the members fault, however. They COM
missioned an artist at a fancy price, to
paint a portrait of the noted Mississippi
statesman, but the product was so dis
appointing none had the heart to pre-
sent il.
1t was exhibited on the night of March
Sd in the house lobby.
Il know l am not handsome" comment
ed Mr.. Williams, as he looked at the por-
trait, "but they could not have done worse
if they had been painting Adam" Repre-
sentative Adam Bede, of Minnesota, stood
by his side.
when did he die?@ inquired Vice Pres
ident Sherman.
II wouldn't give that to a man who had
shot my dog" declared Representative
Cushman, of Washington. And the menu
bers decided he was right.

CANNON AND HOUSE
may LOCK HORNS
SPEAKER PUZZLED OVER PER.
SONNEL OF NEXT COMMITTEE
ON RULES-DOES NOT FEAR
INSURGENTS"

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Speaker
Cannon is puzzling his head in the in
term between sessions of congress over
the personnel of the next committee on
rules. The appointment of this commit
tee will be one of the first duties the
speaker Of the Incoming congress will
nave to perform unless the Insurgents
muster enough strength to form an alli-
Rnce with the Democrats to amend the
rules so as to provide for the election
of a committee on committees. Speaker
Cannon does not believe they viii, and
so he is considering some Of the prob
lens that may vex him in the days to
come.
There are two vacancies on this power
full committee. Vice President Sherman
has just left it, and so has Senator-elect
Williams, of Mississippi.
Tawney is Favored
Many members believe that the choice
of a successor to Mr. Sherman lies be-
tween Representative Tawney, chairman
of the committee on appropriations, and
Representative Mann, of Illinois. Al
though Mr.. Sherman came from New
York. the position is claimed by western
members. Mr.. Sherman succeeded Cen
eral Grosvenor, of Ohio. and the west
ern delegations claim it is high time that
the plum be returned to them While the
speaker is a western man, il is urged,
as customary. that the other two Re
publican members of the committee be
chosen one from the east and the 9TH
er from the west. Representative Dali
zell. of Pennsylvania, is the eastern
representative.
MIR. Tawney's rise in the house has
been phenomenal. He has a powerful in
fluence on the floor, and it is urged that
he would be a great strength to the COM
mittee.
Most of all the speaker desires a par
Humanitarian who can defend any rule
on the floor Of the house in an impress
sive and persuasive way. Representa-
tive Mann fills the qualifications very
well, but the objection to him is he
comes from the speakers own state
Representatives Douby and Townsend
of Michigan; Smith, of Iowa; Currier.
of New Hampshire; Poster, of Vermont,
are regarded as possibilities.
The selection of the ne1e Democratic
member will probably be left to minority
Leader Clark 1t has been regarded as
desirable to have the minority leader a
member, but Mr.. Clark cannot take the
position as long as Representative dear
mond, of the same state, Missouri, re-
mains on the committee.
A plan has been devised by which Mr.
Clark and Representative Fitzgerald, re-
garded as one of the best parliamenta-
rians on the Democratic side, will be-
come the minority's representatives or
the committee. AS yet the plan has not
been approved By all interested in it.
