On Matter.

There is a possibility that the ques-
ton OF annexing Highland Park to De-
troit may not be submitted to the vot-
ers this spring. even though the board
OF supervisors says it may be voted
on. The anti-annexationists are said
to have lawyers looking up the law
on their contention that the city can
not take in more territory except
under a new charter or by act OF the
legislature; also that the supervisors
cannot legally be reconvened for the
purpose OF dealing with the annexa-
ton matter.

FRAUDS
Perpetrated
on SMALL
live tors

A large part Of the
discredit in the public
mind attaching to
wall Street" is due
to frauds perpetrated
on the small investor
throughout the coun-
try in the sale of
worthless securities
by means Of alluring
circulars and adver-
tisements in the news
papers. To the sue
cess of such swindling
enterprises a portion
Of the press contrib
utes.
Papers which hon
estly try to distin-
guish between swind-
ling advertisements
and others may not in
every instance sue
coed in doing SO; but
readiness to accept adj
vertisements which
are obviously traps
for the unwaryi is
evidence of a moral
delinquency w h ! C h
should draw out the
severest public con-
demnation.
So far as the press
in the large cities is
concerned the cOrrec-
ton of the evil lies, in
some measure, in the
hands of the reputable
bankers and brokers,
who, by refusing their
.
advertising patronage
to newspapers n0tOri-
ously guilty in. this re-
spect, could compel
them to mend their
ways, and at the same
time prevent fraudu-
lent schemes from de-
irving an appearance
of merit by association
with reputable names.

REDUCED RATES
FOR BASE METAL ORE
A Chance For Local Prospectors to
Develop Their Mine
Holdings

There is chance offered the Local
mine Owners and prospectors OF thus
section to ship their ores to the
smelter at keneth, Cal. where a
special low rate has lately been made
for all classes Of lase metals This
company is after the ore IN any
quantity and will give the mine own
crs a fair chance to develop their
ground and possibly make some
mines.
Mr. F. NJ Baker OF this city, has
lately signed a contract with this
company to treat copper ores from
a lease he is working in Esmeralda
County. He was surprised at the
liberal rate charged for smelling
while the railroad rates are proper
tionately small. Under the terms
it would be possible to ship copper
ore from this neighborhood that
runs as low as three per cent. Ii
it goes higher so much the better.
This company is seeking the silic-
ious ores OF this section and Con-
sequently makes concessions for that
class of product
Mr.. Baker will gladly tell any
prospector of the rates and terms,
while Will Casson of this city can

quote rates and contract features.
For years prospecting has been
carried on in a hall hearted fashion
east OF this city. A number OF veins
OF good grade copper have been un-
covered. and considerable gold Is
generally found in the ores. If the
prospectors and mine owners OF this
section have what they claim, there
is now 4 chance to ship their pro-
duct to the above firm. 1t will put
money in their hands, give them a
chance to carry on development
work and possibly open up big
mine 1t is the fairest rate SO far
offered by any smelling firm and
they are looking for the ore.
The railroads are as anxious for
the business as the smelter people
and it seems that the time is ripe
for development. Several part:c ;
are looking over their ground with
an idea of shipping and others
should follow suit, Many fine speci-
mems of copper ore have been
brought to Carson from time to
time. If there is any of it on the
dumps or in the mines ship it and
get the money. 1t is now UP to
the mine owners.
