Good ROADS QUESTION.

One of the most meritorious
measures advocated by Governor
Sanders, is that by which he pro-
poses to encourage the construc-
ton of good roads throughout the
State. As we understand his plan
of operation. he proposes that the
State convicts shall be loaned to
any parish for road construction
without other expense than the
subsistence of the convicts during
their service. He also proposes
that the State Board of Engineers
shall direct the work of road build
ing to insure that it be done along
modern lines of construction; and

AS in all other known produc-

furnishes, there are not wanting
Thomases who discredit the guam
tity and extent of natures stores.
Thus there is always some doubt
expressed as to the supply of ma

what meat does these Caesars feed

The Abbeville Meridional says
that the ground on the farm OF
Francois Polombo. in Verunillion
parish, cracked open for a distance
of I5o feet with oistlnc, depres-
sion on one side of the pressure.
A bubbling spring and escaping
gas two hundred yards distant
ensued. Large crowds visited the
spot to view the phenomenon.
Possibly the escaping gas may
account for the occurrence. Bore

1t is a rather heavy reflection
on the denizens of dry" territory
when it is asserted that more peo-
pie visited the carnival from those
territories than from the wet"
sections, being attracted by
the appetite for booze" rather
than the pleasures of the scenes.

Complaints have been frequent,
nay, almost constant, of the os-
tracism OF the South in The concils
of the Nations cabinet. Yet no
appointment. could be made to
the exalted position of cabinet
officer unless such appointment
came from the ranPs of the
Democratic party. which cast a
solid vote against the present
incumbent in the presidential
chair. In the selection of Hon.
! NJ. Dickinson as his Secretary
of war, a staunch Democrat, and
one of the most responsible
position amoung the Presidents
advisors, Mr.. Taft displayed,
what the incumbent properly
declares, broad, magnanimous
and patriotic spirit that was
certainly complimentary to a
pronounced craftsmanship within
the Democratic ranks. and that
Democrat a Southeruer.

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation OF nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if YOU take DR.. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all &C
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.

its energy and then give this popula4
ton the technical education neces-
sary and the result can be forseen
without difficulty. These conditions
exist in both China and India and
the yellow peril is not SO remote
a one as imagined. The high priced
labor of the United States is uncon-
sciously facing a competition that
is more dangerous than any hereto
fore encountered. =
This brief preliminary naturally
brings us to the point where we may
intelligently consider the relation of
silver to the monetary situation SO
far as it concerns our country. We
have seen that in nine year or from
the date of the passage of the cur
rency bill in March, 1900, our paper
credit currency has grown from
$225,0O0, 600 to 1898, 900, 900 or
over $4,000, 900 and in the same
period including the veal of 1909
the gold coinage amounted to $685.
170,315. So that the expansion of
our credit currency has fallen but
little short of the gold coinage.
why should not silver have been
used in the place of this six hun
dred and ninety eight million of pa
per? The strongest claim that the
most rabid anti-silver men have ever
made was that the silver dollar was
a fifty cent dollar, but none OF them
is prepared to say hat even a fifty
cent dollar was no less valuable than
a no-cent dollar.

gold is not sufficient for the mon
etary needs of the world. Credit
money represents wealth more direct
ly than any other form of currency,
since it is based upon the known evil
dences of wealth, but l don't believe
that such a form of money, when it
Is not necessary for the welfare of
the people, is fair or just. When the
metal security does not exist or can
not be obtained, the. credit money
may be a real necessity, but it's is
suence is constantly fraught with
danger in some FORM and. under GER
tain kinds of government has been
proven to be absolutely disastrous.
Our government is making
strenuous efforts to maintain favor
dDle tTdQe conditions IN the east,
while apparently Indifferent to the
fact that by its action the power to
buy the products of American fac
tories has been destroyed. Some
thing must be done to enhance the
power Of silver, if these Asiatic coun-
tries are to be secured as customers,
for it is quite beyond all reasonable
possibility to suppose that they ever
will or even can abandon the use of
silver sprrency.
I'm conclusion, it seems to me to
be self-evident that this government
should take the lead for the restora-
ton Of silver by .inaugurating the
primary steps for the cancelling of
the v hundred million dollars of
national bank circulation and under
proper regulations substituting sill
yer coinage represented by certifi-
cate and based on bullion value of
the metal, thus placing it on a parity
with gold, removing a paper credit
money, and adding to the values of
a most important product and at the
same time supplementing the efforts
to increase our trade with China

DRY CONCENTRATION GIVEN GOOD
TRIAL At yER|NGTON PROPERTY

The crosscut from the bottom OF the
winze at 60O-foot depth is soming
into the same grade of ore and
shows stronger signs OF continuity
and permanency than n any of the
other levels.
Messrs. Gun and Thompson, who
own control of the Masn Valley mine,
planned to build a smelter six months
ago, but after giving the matter
careful consideration decided to
wait until all doubt as to perma-
nency of the mine was removed. The
announcement, therefore, in New
York by these gentlemen that imme-
diately a smelter would be construct
ed is practical assurance that Yer
ington is a proven district. Two
thirds of the ore of the Mason VAL
ley is a concentrating proposition
and a cncentrating plant is as essen
tial for the proper treatment of the
ore as a smelter. The present SUI
p~erintendent of the mine believes
that tonnage within tn past forty
days has been doubled.
For the past month the superin-
tendents of the foremost mines In
camp have been attending the test
runs of ore. The experiments have
proven so economical that they are
unanimous in the belief that at least
the Mason Vallep company will be
able t treat it's product at a ess fig
ure than nearly n other mine. The
fact that the Yerington ores are so
high gade and can be concentrated
virtually guarantees an extremely
low cost in the making of copper.

The great need of Nevada today is
good roads. She has no highway
worthy the name. Prison labor could
be employed to no better advantage
than in constructing permanent ar
teries from north to south and from
east to west through the state for
the accommodation of business and
the development of the great empire
which it represents. Such employ
ment of prison labor would in a few
years bring returns to the taxpayers
and the people of the state in the
millions and Offset the great cost to
which they are now put in the con-
duct of criminal courts.

YERINGTON, New, Oct. 6.pThe
successful concentrating tests on the
ores of the Mason Valley mine are
being enthusiastically talked about
on every side. Those who witnessed
the tests and examined the mine
have been for the past two days, al
most, riotously celebrating.
Nearly every day during the sum-
mer, mill tests have been going on,
but until the middle of the week it
was impossible to gather any devnite
information as to results. 1t has
been generally believed the process
was imperfect. Consequently on
Thursday, when announcement vas
made, it came as a surprise, and SO
mech does it mean for the future of
Yerington that the miners found it
difficult to soberly carry off the load
of good news. The advices from
New Yrrk negleut to mention con-
s%truction of concentrating plant,
but the Mason Valley management
maistains that the announcement of
smelter means complete plant.
The. mine never before showed the
possibilities it does today. The cross
cut on the 500-foot level is still in
ore, two-thirds of whics will average
3. per cent and the balance better
than 5 per cent; in fact, a great deal
of native copper is coming in and
the average value of the ore is in
creasing. 1t was reported a week
ago that the hanging wall had been
encountered, but instead it turned
out to be another slip of ricr ore.

Mr.. Hickman said in part:
Since the passing Of the currency
act of 1900 our national bank cir
culation has grown from $225, 000.-
900 to nearly 100000, 900, while
the greenback circulation has re-
manned at the fixed amount of $780,
900, 0O8, giving about one thousand
million Of credit paper money. This,
added to our metallic circulation,
shows a larger per capita amount
than we have ever had. For the
fiscal year ended June 80, the gold
coinage of the United States was
$120,399,953. =
This great expansion in all forms
of circulating medium could not
fail seriously to affect prices and at
the same time produce the most
of the question.
Both these factors act imediately
upon the commodity cost and expense
of living, raising wage cost to the
manufacturer curbing his efforts to
acquire foreign markets for his pro-
ducts. These factors also act as an
impetus to the manufacturing in
dustries of the silver-using country,
by opening up to them the possibility
of utilizing their cheap labor for the
production of articles that had there
tofore been made in foreign coun-
tries, thus developing home indus
tries, restricting imports and finally
breaking into the very markets that
had formerly supplied them.
Given assuredly cheap labor, a
debased currency, an enormous
population eager for an outlet fol
