The fact that work on the Prince

Secure Valuable Lease

ly completed to Phoebe, and with
the exception of the Day-Bristol COM
pany which uses the narrow guaged
Phoebe Pacific road, there is not a
single mine in the entire Phoebe dis
trict that can escape an expensive
wagon haul to get the ores to the
railroad. Consequently, it has been
possible to ship only the highergrade
ores. But the Prince road will re-
move, in large measure, many of
the difficulties that have been ex-
perienced in the past.
In the Prince Consolidated mine
alone, there is probably a million
tons Of low grade ore which, here
tofore, could not be mraketed ad-
vantageously. But with the railroad
at the mine, this low grade material
can be moved profitably. But the

NEVADA ATTRACTS SOME
ATTENTION IN THE EAST

The era Of publicity that has been
in force the past year for Nevada
is beginning to have its effects
throughout the eastern states. A
recent issue of the Boston Post says:
Uncle Sam manages to spring a
surprise on himself about the middle
OF every year when he finishes his
annual count-up. He always knows
in advance, Of course, that New
York state Is going to rank first in
population; but it gives him a Jolt
to discover, as he did this year,
that the little state of Nevada
stands head and shoulders not
only above New York, but also above
the scholorly Massachusetts, in the
amount of money it spends per cap
ita for the educators Of its school
children"

GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO
BUILD FISH LADDER

The Nevada state fish commission
has, after being in communicate
with the interior department at
Washington for nearly year. finally
received a positive statement to
the effect that the government
will not construct the new fish lad
der at the Derby dam.
The present ladder is inadequate
for the migrating trout during
spawning season. by reason of its
grade and the eddy at the base.
AS result the big trout from
the lake bump their noses against
the concrete wall of the dam and
then drift back to the lake without
being able to visit the spawning
beds.
The department, however, has the
generosity to offer to place wire
netting along the sides of the pres
ent ladder.

PEACE AND HONOR.

Most men of knowledge who
are willing to think know per-
fecty we'll that this country
would not, as q matter Of fact.
keep an agreement to arbitrate
all questions of vital honor and
interest, even though 1t were SO
unwise as to make 1t, and it is a
wicked thing to put us in the
position Of promising what will
not and cannot be performed.
In such a matter the indulgence
OF false pretense in the present
would with absolute certainty
be followed by the breaking of
faith In the future. We. the peo-
pie of the United States, cam
not and will not surrender to
outsiders the power to determine
whether or not we are tit to de-
eide for ourselves what are our
vital needs and what are the
policies proper for meeting these
needs. In other words. Uncle
Sam does not intend to wrong
any one, but neither does he In
tend to bind himself. II his pock-
ct is picked. his house burglar
ized or his face slapped. to "ar-
bitrate" with the wrongdoer. and
as long as he does not intend so
to bind himself 1t would be Of
fensive hypocrisy for him to say
that he will so bind himself

SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

The fact is that the law of sup
ply and demand does not work
and has not for years worked
In this country in a natural. un-
restrained and unfettered man
ner. The government In the
6rst instance. interposes an aru-
ncial restraint In the protective
tariff on imports. True. the
theory of this tariff Is to equalize
conditions of competition; to
place, as It were. handicap
on the foreign competitor who
has produced his commodities
under conditions less burden
some than those under which
the American manufacturer pro-
duces his. But. in fact. the In
equalities resulting from the
methods of tariff legislation are
very often impossible to justify
on the theory Of sufficient pro-
lection only, and the resulting
price is that fixed by limited
competition between dealers in
the market from which foreign
competitors are to a certain ex-
tent excluded.-Attorney General

and the estimated cost ranges from
$1OO, 900 to $4,000. The length of
the line will be nine miles; is to
be standard guaged and laid with So

will average 2 IL per cent to the
