ard nations. AS Tom Reed said, "The
white man with yellow money cannot
compete with the yellow man and hi.
white money"
1t is true that our legislation of 1875
has closed the export trade of the
United States against one-half the in.
habitants Of the earth. And that legis.
lation was as petty as it was unfortun-
ate. We claim a per capita circulation
of money of $33. Had all the silver
that has been taken from the mines of
the United States and Mexico since the
discovery of the Comstock fifty years
ago, been sent to China, it would not
have given her people 81 per capita, and
China, with a permanent ratio fixed
between the metals, would gladly buy
100, 000, 200 ounces of silver annually
for twenty years to come.

fair ratio with gold. What a fair ratio
would be, in a question of international
concernment. At whatever ratio de.
cided upon, that would establish the
price of silver the world around as fast
as the cable could carry the news. The
weight of silver paid to labor in silver
using countries would not be changed.
If the silver dollar was made equal to,
or nearly equal to, the gold dollar, then
articles of Oriental production would
about double in cost; then exchanges
with silver countries would advance to
their old stations and trade with silver
countries would be restored. And there
is no other way to restore it. Either
silver must be remonetized or gold be
demonetized, or trade with the Orient
must cease and grow less and less with
all silver countries.
At the close of his address, Mr.. Good
win makes an appeal for government
recognition of the mining industry by
cabinet and government department
of mines-thus giving mining as much
as agriculture, for instance.

Goldfeld, great as it has been, and is,
Tonopah and the regions to the south,
such and much as they stand for, are
not all of Nevada. The great new
commonwealth reborn, as your presence
here testifes, has yet other reserves,
known and unknown, in the trackless
wastes. Within our borders, there is
a-borning and yet to be born regions
of m~easureless wealth, that future ages
of mining will accord. And this they
will testify who follow us, as certain
as the great Comstock once challenged
the world, and the Mohawk today re-
peats the challenge.

HISTORY OF THE ROUND
MOUNTAIN MINING DISTRICT

In those days men were braced by til,
splendid atmosphere that surrounded us
and a hundred thousand, more or less
was a mere detail.
Out of this transaction on this bleal
hillside sprang the Round Mountain
Mining company. Davis shaped it-Jin
Davis, of the Sandstone. Associated
with him were Gordon, Sweeney, Cool
and the man who is telling you thes,
things.
Inside of eleven months that ground
was pouring out its golden tribute; in
eighteen months declared its first quar-
. terly dividend, has as quoted above
produced in gold bullion 100000, has
paid $685. 900 in dividends; and has
now blocked out in the mine and in its
treasury approximately 100000.
Men who are mining and know the
business of mining, are accustomed to
large sums, and know that to equip a
mine for production means ordinarily
hundreds of thousands. There is now
on this ground a mill that treats 100
tons of ore a day, yielding 90 per cent
of the ore value, that has never stopped
a day nor an hour through any defect
in construction, at a total cost of $40,
600, occupying a total space hardly larg-
er han this room.
The managers report for the fiscal
year closing July last, showed the aver
age value of the ore treated to be
S13.40; the extraction-simple plate
amalgamation, with nc cyaniding or
concentrating of any kind, to be SO per
cent, leaving in tailings $1.10. The
cost of mining for that period was Sc
per ton, which, has by the introduction
of electric power and machine drills
been lowered to $4.17 per t~on-demon-
strating that ore of So a ton in value
IAN be mined at a profit.
Of the future of the mine no one can
speak of a certainty. The best skill
has been employed in outlining its
policy of development. All that the
geology of mining can teach has been
mapped. To obviate contentious and
eliminate vexatious apex questions, a
policy of acquisition has been followed.
All adjoining ground bearing upon such
points has been acquired until now the
total area of the Round Mountain Min
ing company covers 700 acres, nearly
one-half of the entire mountain, and
it is the ~concensus of opinion, of men
qualified to judge, that this unique gold
mine from it's geology, its record, the
free form in which the gold occurs, is
destined to have a place among the
foremost for many years.
Nor is this all-of this strangely in
teresting country-of which so little is
known: We have placers there, mere
washings of the surface of the noun
tain that has produced $15O,000. The
Sphinx has a rated production OF $780,
900. A like figure represents the bust
ness of the Daisy. The Fairview has
given sec, 900 to the various leases,
there's an easy credit of $4,000. So
the record of Round Mountain, a camp
without a noise-without a railroad
within 60 miles, stands thus in a period
of two and one-half years with a mil
lion credit, thus:
