NEWLANDS TALKS
OF THE FIGHT
in NEVADA

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. Is. Unit
ed States Senator Francis G. Newlands
has returned from Nevada, where the
campaign called him, and registered at
the Palace. Newlands was pleased with
the Democratic successes in the east,
but regretted the election of a Repub-
lican governor in the state which had
for fourteen years been in the power of
the party he represents.
"Both parties are tending moie and
more toward progression Newlands
said. "The people of the whole coun-
try are determined to rule. Of course,
I think William Jennings Bryan was
the father of this movement and Roose-

Big EQUIPMENT
FOR ELY Mine

Nevada has been noted for half a
century or more for its wonderful mine
equipment. But all records are being
broken by the installation of modern
machinery at the Giroux Consolidated
properties near Ely.
From present indications the entire
surface equipment Of the Giroux win
be completed and commissioned short
ly after the first of the year. 1t has
been the biggest undertaking of its
kind not only in the entire camp, but
there is probably no mining equipment
In the west so extensive as this.
All of the pieces for the two pump
ing plants of tbe Giroux company were
lowered to the 12o0-foot level of tie
Giroux shaft during the last week and
are now being assembled and put to-
eether. The wooden head frame over
the big shaft has been taken down and

SEN. nixon and Wife
GIVE Big RECEPTION

Senator George S. Nixon, who is
resting up in San Francisco from his
campaign, gave a reception to the peo-
pie of Winnemucca before leaving for
the coast. His wife and son received
with him. The Winnemucca Star says
of the affair:
The reception given by Mr.. and Mrs.
George S. Nixon in the opera house
Monday evening was the most largely
attended function ever held in Winnie
mucca. In fact, the spacious theater
was thronged with people assembled to
greet the senator and his estimable
wife and their son, Bertram E., all of
whom stood in the lobby and greeted
the guests as they entered the opera
house.
Not only was the large auditorium
crowded with people during the eve
ming. but the gallery was well filed
as well. At about $3.50 a dainty lunch
con was served, consisting of sand
witches. cake, coffee and delicious punch,
and it was no easy task for the many
ladies who assisted in serving the mul-
titude of people with the dellcacles.
After the luncheon was served the spa
cious floor of the house was cleared
and dancing was the order of the eve
ming until the early hours of the morn
ing. About the midnight hour Senator
Nixon made a short address, stating
that he and his wife and son were
greatly pleased to receive SO many OF
the people of his old home. The senti-
ment expressed in the senator's BRIEF
address were heartily %applauded. After
bidding the guests good night, senate
Nixon and family departed on the cary
morning train for Reno.

RECENT ADVANCE IN SILVER
WAS SUPERFICIAL

000, 900 ounces in the belief that favor
able crop prospects in India and ex-
c%ellent general outloo in the Orient,
would stimulate the demand for the
metal. For a time all went well, but
telegraphic dispatches printed in coast
papers last Sunday bring word that
no less than seven of the leading banks
of Shanghai, China, have failed, and so
it may be safely assumed that at least
a portion of the optimistic outlook has
been obscured.
Every movement of the metal within
the past year has indicated manipula-
ton rather than increased and legiti-
mate demand. The low price for the
year was 49, in March; early in July
there was an advance of 5512 cents and
a decline the following month to SO.

Nevada is the best state in the I'm
ion.
Nevada has more rich but as yet un-
developed agricultural land which can
be had at a low price, awaiting the
coming of home seekers, to whom it
will yield marvelously abundant re
turns, than has any other state.
Nevada has a larger area than any
of the other states except three, and
more vast and varied than
any Of them.
Nevada has more water for power
and irrigation purposes than any other
state and has the oldest and largest
government reclamation project yet
promoted under federal supervision.
From 100000 to 100000 acres of rich,
highly productive soil are placed I'M

SLAVERY EXISTS
UNDER BRITISH
PROTECTION

JOHANNESBURG, Nov. 9. The in
sincerity of the Radical government s
profession of horror at the employment
of Chinese in%dentured labor is shown
by a letter which f. M. E. Stokes, late
chief police officer at Sandakan and
public prosecutor in the high court of
British North Borneo, has addressed to
the johannesburg Star.
"When / left South Africa ne
states, "the Chinese were being sent
away. The Liberal government had
discovered, to their infinite horror,
that a system of slavery existed on the
Rand. They determined to root out
this foul thing. Their ~virtuous indig-
nation so stirred the people of Great
Britain that the Liberals were returned
to power by a huge majority for the
purpose of removing this blot from the
fair name of the British empire.
General Botha's government, for a
consideration, assisted in this noble
work, which was in full swing when
left to take up an appointment in Brit
ish North Borneo.
Judge my establishment when on
trans-shipping at Singapore to the
North German Lloyd steamer Mamdu, |
found the ship packed forward with
indentured Chinese laborers en- route
for Sandakan and Jesseton the two
principal towns of British North Bor-
neo.
"To this very day thousands of i'm
ported indentured Chinese laborers are
employed in British North Borneo IN
der conditions far more severe and
servile than any that existed in South
Africa. Contracts were signed for five
years, and these may be extended for a
further two if the laborer is still III
debt to his employer.

coolies are paid in cloth 'vokens' that
are only negotiable at the estate stores.

DREDGE WORK IN
ALASKA Mines

The placer gold production of Alas
ka for 1909 is estimated at Sic, 322, 900,
as compared with $15,Ss 900 in 1908.
This increase must be credited in great
part to districts of the Yukon basin,
nearly all of which had a larger pro-
duction in 1909 than in 1908. On the
other hand, the dry weather led to q
marked falling off in the placer gold
output in some other districts. The
operations in placer minig are tested
under the heads of the various geo.
graphical divisions of the country.
Perhaps the most significant fact of
the years operations is the continued
activity in installing dredging enter
prises. Five dredges were operated in
Seward peninsula throughout the open
season, and six more were completed in
time to do some work, making eleven
dredges, small and large, which were
in use during 1909. The results Of
these enterprises have encouraged
many to take up this form of mining,
and plans for several more dredges
have been made. Three dredges were
operated in the Forty-mile district.
Plans were also formulated for dredg-
es at Fairbanks. Some examinations
have been made for a dredge on Kenai
peninsula. = Engineering and Mining

BUILDING MILLS
BEFORE Mines

A mistake often made in opening a
new and improved mining property is
to expend large sums of money in
mills, machinery and other surface
equipment before it is known how
much ore will be available, or what
its character or value win be. As q
result of this policy thousands of dol
lars have been squandered in unneces-
sary or unsuitble equipment. Conss-
quently mining regions are dotted with
ruins to the memory of unrealized
hopes, says the Mining World.
Such folly is utterly inexcusable. It
is doubtless the result of the optimism
so freely dispensed by a certain class
of mine promoters. Why anyone al
lows himself to be drawn into such IL
logical schemes is a mystery.
To those who have no intimate
knowledge of mining, its possibilities
and risks, there seems to be a tendency,
when trying their luck, to east all dis
erection aside and go ahead blindly,
trusting that the fates will be kind.
No one would build a hotel in an UNI
inhabited wilderness in the hope that
travel would come that way some time.
Yet people will plunge into mining add
spend a fortune in equipment for hand
ling and treating ore before they know
that they have ore in quantity, or
that the character of their ore will be
such that the equipment selected will
give the most economical results. The
folly of this seems so self-evident as
to be almost unworthy of mention.

DICK COLBURN TAKES
OPTION ON GOOD Mine

r. l.. Colburn, the former
Goldfeld mining man, has recently re-
turned to San Francisco from a trip
a. miles below Tucson, Ariz., where he
went to inspect the Oceanic gold mine,
and upon which he took a bond ana
lease. Half of his interest he sold to
San Francisco parties
The bond calls for 100000 purchase

tion stands at a fraction less than So.
Considering all the circumstances, the
Mining Review sees no reason to
change it's opinion that the only hope
for a sustained improvement lies in an
international agreement that will es-
tablish prices and do something tangi-
BILE to maintain them. Such a denoue-
ment seems entirely beyond the pale of
possibility just at this time, and 50
there is little reason to hope for a ma
terial gain in price. Business, at least
insofar as it effects the arts, has not
shown any disposition to increase to
any appreciate extent; silver will,
therefore, in all probability, drop back
from where it rose a few short weeks
ago-and stay there till the market is
"rigged" again.-Los Angeles Mining
Review.

Tive weeks ago when silver quota
tions were lowering near the 57-cent
mark, the Mining Review expressed tho
belief that the advance was fictitious,
being unwarranted by any improve
ment in the general ton of the mar
ket Since then what We considered
the inevitable decline has occurred and
it now begins to look as if the quota
ton would gradually drop back to the

A close study of the situation seems
to suggest that the reason for the sud
den advance may be found in the eff
forts of Indian interests led by the
India Specie bank, to corner the mar
ket. If usually reliable eastern au-

interests have accumulated about 80
