H. A. Baker, representing tie Newman Investment company, the well known real estate firm of Fl Paso, Texas, is in our city with maps and other data relative to a tract ot land in the Rio Grande Valley, which the said frm are now offering for sale. The well known integrity of this firm assures anyone purchasing property through MT. .. Baker, that they are getting what they buy and they are not paying one cent more than people right on the ground would pay for the property. As many readers know, the Newman In vestment company is the oldest real estate firm in Fl Paso, and many ot our readers have doubtless had deal ings with them. We are glad that MT. Baker has come to our city, as we feel some of our people should reap at least part of the benefit to be derived from the Great Elephant Butte Dam Project, which is being largely paid for by the Territory o1 l Arizona, inasmuch as the majority o1 l the money comes out of the Recla nation fund.

Hard to Get a Game.

Since the Clifton ball team has strengthened its Hanks the Morenci team seems to be steering shy of our bunch, even though Clifton played the hill city boys with practically no team at all. A game was scheduled for last Sunday, but was called off after it was too late for the Clifton team to advertise it, and as result many people went to the ball grounds and met with disappointment. Cliff ton was then promised game for next Sunday, but Globe took the date from us and the local fans will have to wait until our neighbors get ready to play us.
 Clifton usually fills her dates whether she has the team lined up just so or not, and in order to keep up the good feeling between the two clubs and maintain attendance the two clubs will have to get together and pledge themselves to play games as advertised, otherwise the fans are going to lose interest in the sport We do not Llame our neighbors fol playing all the outside games they can get, but would like to see then come through with their promises.

sIlVER's BRIGHTER PROSPECT
Tide OF Public Opinion Rolling
In Direction of Reopening
OF the Indian MINIS

In its weekly review Of the metal
markets, the Boston Financial News
has the following to say concerning
silver:
The statistical position Of silver is
improving. according to all competent
authority in this country and in Eu-
rope. For several weeks the shipments
OF silver from London to East India
haze been increasing. Last weeks
oatgo by the Peninsular g. Oriental
liner topped the record for a twelve
month. The shipment was in value
es0C0 above the great shipment made
by the steamship Mooltan Of the same
line, which. on December IS last, took
| out to East India silver to the value OF
e730, 900. From all parts Of East India
come reports from Europeans in bust.
pess and social life that the tide OF
| opinion in favor of the reopening OF
| the Indian mints to tue coinage OF the
silver rupee is running strong and far
The premium Of the coined silver
rupees over the bullion price thereof
illustrates the tremendous power Of the
natives in rendering almost nugatory
the work OF the cabals Of %fiuanciers il
Europe who closed the Indian mints
against the coinage of the rupee.
The tremendous decline in the ex.
ports of British manufactured goods to
East India is held BY shipping mer-
chants and manufacturers as altogether
due to the decentralization Of silver in
East India. At Bombay, Madras, Cal
cutta and other commercial cities OF
East India, O powerful movement il
getting under way to bring about .
| great international conference of the
oriental countries whose almost $780,.
| 600, 900 of people have used silve,
money for ages. The object of the
| proposed conference is to bring about
the restoration of silver to the place 1t
held before the Indian minis were
closed. Correspondence on this head is
going on between representative COM
mercial Straits settlements.
A very strong silver movement is
shaping forth in Japan, who sees what
\ tremendous amount of business sht
could do in China and India under 0

which way the silver wind is setting il
the orient, and is enlarging her ca.
pacity to mint silver coins for the far
East. In her Indian possessions. Hol.
land is now permitting the payment q
taxes in silver coins instead of in guild.
ers. as was the case until lately. japan
has coined more silver within six
months han for a long time previously

banks in China, but really for the
benefit of her own merchants and

NEvADA'S LIVELY MINING CAMP
Early Day "Reminiscences Of the Noted
Camp of Phoebe

William p. Goodman, who was .
news-dealer in Phoebe during the early
''7O's, has been writing to the Phoebe
Record from Manchester. N. H., about
his early day experiences. Ia his letter
he included q clipping from a Man
chester paper which quoted q mining
operator well acquainted with Pioche's
early history. as follows:
"Pioche, Nevada, was the hveliest
mining camp the West ever saw. l
have been in many Of the great boom
camps of Nevada during the past few
years; in Tonopah. Goldfeld. Rawhide
and others when they were in their
palmiest boom days, but none of them
equaled the early Phoebe boom. Men
got $40 a day guarding with rifles the
the different mining properties over
J which there was or might be disputes
Men were killed each night. and we
thought nothing Of being told that
another man had just been slaughtered
for breakfast. One night there were
five men killed.
81 remember visiting & saloon In
| which considerable gambling was going
on. At one table the four players did
not use chips, nothing but $50 gold
| pieces, and it seemed to me that there
we're SO many of them that the table
would break down at any moment. Thi'
gamewas a $50 ante affair, with no limit
and some of the jack pots represented 9
great stake in themselves. Camps have
come after Phoebe, but none have beer
so thoroughly wild AID reckless al
Phoebe. Now that the great resources
are being brought to light down that
way, the camp is going to see another
era of greatness, but it will be more
earnest one, one not quite SC
picturesque and intense as the Phoebe
of DID,"

He put his proposition to a capitalist and gave him an honest
estimate of its probable success as a mining venture. After hea.
ing all the details the man Of money said: "Wen, If things are as
you say they are, it looks to me like a good fighting chance. IN
send my mining engineer to report on the property"
"Mr. Blank" said the owner of the property, "you can save
yourself the time and expense of sending out your mining expert for

yourself, if you know anything about exporting, or send some ex
pert friend who is not in your employ, but draw the line at your
paid expert"
The fnancier expressed his surprise and inquired the reason
for the property owners stand.
"T1l tell you" said he. "You are looking for a mine or the
making of a mine and you have in your employ a mining engineer
who is exporting properties for you. Eventually you may find a
mine. Possibly you never will. 1t will all depend whether your
engineer is sufficiently we'll fixed to lose his position, for as soon as
he finds a mine for you his work with you is finished and he has to

Miners Receive Dividend

Virginia Chronicle. February 0: The
FIRST dividend to miners from proceeds
Of the ore taken from the Ophir and
Con. Virginia mines for the past three
months was distributed yesterday. Ii
amounts in all to 81. 956. SO. and was
distributed according to the wage
earning capacity Of the different men
employed for the companies.
The idea Of the management is that
when men are working on shares and
know that they are to get a part of
whatever the mine produces they will
be more diligent in their daily duties
and use every endeavor to do the best
for the mine.
This applies a well to the others
employed for the companies. as it tends
to give all a personal interest in the
business.
Some Of the miners drew down o
handsome dividend, the highest paid
any one miner was over $50.

THOSE ON THE INSIDE
The Salaries Paid Nevada's Over
worked and Underpaid State
officials and Deputies

The Ely Record notes with pleasure
that a bill will be introduced in the
Legislature to raise the salaries OF the
State officials. There is no question
that our State officials are not only
overworked, but also underpaid.
From the report Of the State Comp
%troller, just issued. it is learned that
the Governors salary is only $1,000,
with q private secretary at $4,000 and q
clerk at s240O; q total Of si4. 400.
The Lieutenant Governor, who is also
sx-oficio adjutant-general over the
police force. draws down the pitiable
sum Of only $1,000 per year..
The salary Of Secretary OF State is
s4s00; the deputy secretary $4,000; the
clerk $4,000 and the typist $1,000. a total
OF only $40, 900 per year for salaries TO
maintain the secretary's Office.
The State Comptroller is allowed but
s4sOo, with a deputy at $4,000, and q
typist $1,000.
The State Treasurer draws only S4SOO,
with a deputy at $4,000. and q clerk
$24O0.
The salary Of the Attorney General
| and Mineral Land Commissioner Is
| fixed al the paltry sum Of only $4,000, to
which can be added the typist at $4,000.
The Surveyor General gets s4s0o; his
deputy $4,000. q draughtsman $4,000
typist ss4oO, clerks in land office ssoO'
and township plats $1,000.
Salary Of superintendent OF Public
Instruction Is $4,000. typist $1,000, travel
ing expenses and teachers institutes
$1,000.
Justices Of the Supreme Court $50. 900
reporter. 5000: official reporter, $1,000;
bailiff. $1,000.
Bullion Tax Collector $4,000; travelling
expenses, $1,000.
Bank Examiner $500, with travelling
expenses of only $1,000.
State Auditor $500, and travelling
expenses of $500.
State Veterinarian, $4,000 and travel
ing expenses of $1,000.
The Superintendent of State Print
ing draws only $4,000 and has no assist
ant deputy or typist.
The salary of the Publicity Commits
sioner is $4,000, and he is limited to only
$4,000 for travelling expenses. Why. a
man of Sam Davis ability ought to
have at least as much again.
The Railroad Commissioners are
compelled to divide $4,000 in three
parts, have q clerk at $4,000, and are
limited in their travelling expenses to
only $4,000.
The library clerk gets $24O0; the
janitor only $4,000; the Waterman ST.
$40; the gardener $4,000; janitor Of Ii
brary building and engineer $4,000.
This does not complete the salary
list. for there are the State police. who
according to the Governors report are
in Carson drilling and studying
criminal law; the superintendent OF tns
pe~nitentiary and his assistants ant
many others. but it is perhaps suficien'
to give the taxpayers an idea OF thu
meager salaries paid to State officials.
They are all hard working people
The chances are that they arrive a
their offices by 10 o'clock in the morn
ing and remain until 4 in the after
noon. And hen they all paid their II
per GEM assessment to the Democratic
campaign fund. which proves thei
patriotism and love of office.
By all means let their salaries b
raised. at least 30 per cent. The tax
payers can stand 1t.
