INTEREST IN MINING
ON THE INCREASE

1t is extremely gratifying to note
the greatly increased activity which
dominates the mining industry of the
west, and to observe the almost fever
ish demanded in almost every walk of
life for gilt-edged mining properties.
The condition, as to mining has much
improved during the past two or three
years, and investors and capitalists
who, not very long ago looked upon
mining as a gamble and the mining
operator as a shark, are now glad to
become interested in the former and
to become intimately associated with
the latter. Thus it is that opinions
will change, and that things to the
investor which were black a few years
ago are now white, for experience has
shown that mining, as whole, is le-
gitimate: that fortunes are more east
ly made in mining enterprises than in
any other commercial, manufacturing
agricultural or business occupation
Bitter prejudices against mining have
been buried in Oblivion, and because
of the fact that their holders could not
stand out against the overrowering
evidence that mining was both profit
able and legitimate. They could no
longer arraign the mining industry as
a fake, gamble, when, on every
hand, they heard of millions made
from thousands invested, of incomes
pouring steadily into the lap of
friends which would have been for
tunes for kings and rulers in the olden
times. and, as consequence, have in
vestigated into mining in all of its
branches to such an extent that they
are now glad to become identified with
this fascinating industry.
Indeed, to such an extent has min
ing become popular throughout the
length and breadth of this falr land of
9urs, that the miner and investor are
low brothers, the natural sequence be-
ng that in almost every mining camp
in the west increased activityis notice

Such, then, is the healthy condition
of the mining industry of todav and
this is but starter to what it viii

HIGHEST
IN FIVE YEARS

Silver advanced to SO cents an
day morning
This is the highest price attained
since the latter part of 1907 at
time it sold fractionally above 70
cents, after which it Immediately de-
clined, owing to the Indian govern
ment announcing its purpose to dis
continue further purchases of the
white metal at that time.
The recent advance of several cents
an ounce was caused by the cable
gram report that the Indian govern
ment had been buying bar silver for
coinage. This is the first time in al
most five years that India has bought
any metal of any considerable amount
bankers have been in the market for
almost a year laying in good supplies
of the metal. 1t is said that most of
this accumulation has been worked
off and that the oriental financiers
made big profits on their investments
ABOUT the time lndt emma neeucu
more of the white metal
Some reports are to the effect that
there will be further advance in
silver before the Indian government
is through buying, and that there will
be speculation in this commodity
from time to time Which may put the
price up to 20 cents on short notice.
China is counted upon to enter the
market for large amount of the
metal before the close of the year.
as its new government expects to sue
ceed in making some large bond
issues which will give it ample money
for new coinage.
The average price of silver last
year was 81 cents an ounce. The gain
the first half of the year in price has
helped silver producing property own
ers of the West wonderfully. Some
mines are able to make profits at ex-
listing prices, which could not afford
to ship their product last year.
Should the price be further advanced
to 20 cents. as is indicated, it will re-
suit in much larger earnings for sill
yer mines throughout the West. and
Increased profit disbursements to
shareholders is certain to follow.

HOW SPEED MANIA WAS
CURED IN CHICAGO

Not all personse upon becoming the
owner of motor vehicle imagine the
price paid for the machine includes
ownership of the streets, but good
many seem to have that impression.
The change from lodging a ear to be
ing lodged is apt to be one in which
the rights of the pedestrian are
quickly forgotten. In our large cities
the loss of life from automobiles and
motorcycles has grown to be some
thing frightful, and largely unneces
sarv. Tn some European cities the
remedy is to arrest and fine the one
who is so slow and stupid as to get
run over-that is, if he survives. But
no such process of law will be toler-
ated here, nor should it. On the other
hand, motor ears are modern neees-
sity and the streets are no longer a
safe place in which children can play.
There must be moderation and caution
on the part of both.
The enforcement of reasonable
speed reduces the accident and death
rate to minimum, and Chicago has
demonstrated that such reform can
be easily accomplished in few days.
Several deaths each week from motors

time, and something had to be done.
This is the cure, and it was accom-
plished in a few days: While Is
miles an hour is the legal high speed.
30 miles was unoflicially assumed to
be the limit. Anyone exceeding that
speed was promptly arrested and fined
heavily. with the promise that the
a' cunt would he doubled for sec
end offcpse. Instead of the cases BE
ing brought before some friendly mao
strate in the district where the ar
rest was made. all eases were heard by
enc Judge This permitted a system of
records, with the promise that some
thing besides fines would be imposed
after the second offense. For about q
week the fines aggregated over $500
dav and then suddenly dropped. The
effect was very noticeable after the
third day; at the end of the first week
there was really very little violation
of the rules. The reform was accom-
plished so easily and quickly, that
there seems no need for am Other
speed infested city to longer tolerate
such a needless condition of danger

VOTE ONE PARTY
PRIMARY BALLOT

There is such wide and varying
impression as to the manner of voting
at the primary next month, we print
herewith the whole of section 10 of
the primary law, and it should be
carefully read:
"Sec. 19. (a) The voter shall des-
ignate the political party the candi-
dates of which he desires to vote for,
by a cross (X) in the square imme
diately below the name of such
party and he shall designate but one
such party; if he shall designate more
than one party it shall render such
ballot void and if he shall fail to so
designate any party at all such bal
lot shall be void unless the voter shall
have voted only for the candidates OF
one and the same political party, and
shall not have voted for any other
political party, in which case such
ballot shall be counted the same as If
the voter had properly designated
the party for whose candidates he
voted In case the voter designates
one political party in the manner
above provided and votes for candi-
dates for nomination of any other po
litical party in the manner above
provided and votes for candidates
for nomination of any other political
party than the party designated
such votes for such candidates of any
other party than, the one designated,
shall be disregarded in the count.
Cd The voter shall designate his
choice on the ballot of candidates of
his party by stamping a cross (X) in
the small square opposite the name of
each candidate for whom he desires
to vote. If he shall stamp more
names than there are candidates to
be nominated for any office. or if for
any reason 1t is impossible to deter
mine his choice for any office, his
ballot shall not be counted for such
office. but the rest of his ballot if
properly stamped shall be counted,
except as above provided in a sub
division Of his section.
No ballot shall be rejected for any
technical error which does not rem
der 1t impossible to determine the
voters choice for candidates of his
party. nor even though such ballot
be somewhat soiled or defaced AS
amended, Stats. 1911, p. 343.
The language of the above section
| is clear enough and the voter cannot
possibly vote for candidates of more
than one political party at the pri-
mary. If he votes a split ticket after
designating his party, the votes on
two or more tickets, without designat-
ing his party, the entire ballot be-
comes null and void

700 Low
ON W.&L PLANT

The attention of the Silver State
has been called to an alleged mis-
statement of facts in Saturds US issue
of this paper. 1t was stated, in con-
nection with an article commenting on
the special election, that the actual
cost value of the property of the Wa
ter & Light company was $4,000.
The expert sent out by the Kansas
City engineering firm placed the pres
ent value of the plant, exclusive of
the new power-house and the water
and land in Cross and Thomas can
yons, at $98 900. This sum, added to
the $4,000 which it is claimed was
the cost of the power house, would
give valuation to the plant of $l63,
900, without the water and land men
toned.
The price asked by the company
)r the entire system was $172,500.

the convention, it can not be said the
direct primary is convention, any
more than it can be argued that be-
cause the automobile takes the place
of horse, it is horse and vice
versa. Therefore, as section 1898 was
passed in 1891. long before our direct
primary law was contemplated, it is
unreasonable to suppose that the legis-
lature possibly intended it to apply to
something then not in existence in
this state and probably unthought OF.

According to my estimates,' he
continued, "there will be about 20
900 or $4,000 votes east at the elec-

win be by Socialists. With four
tickets in the field and the conditions
greatly unsettled, it is my opinion
