Almost All Borrowed

former president of the New York
Bankers association said to the writer
some two years ago that 1t was his i'm
preston that almost all OF the per cent
government bonds of which the title was
or savings banks, had been borrowed
by national banks and had been utilized
In securing government deposits or in
obtaining new currency.
What will be the effect of the new
banking and currency law upon the per
cent bonds SO far as the utilization of
them by banks which have borrowed them
Is concerned? OF course, much the great
err part of the government per cents Is
in the absolute ownerships of banks. And
yet 1t Is thought that there may be pri-
vate ownerships In such amounts as
would cause a depreciating effect upon
the market value of these bonds In cas
the owners of them offered them for sale.
Incidentally 1t can be reported that In
view of the fact. that many of the banks
of this city and presumably banks of
other cities, have decided to receive
coupons offered by depositors only II
subject to collection, there is strong
disposition. already manifested by those
who in the past have deposited their
coupons as 80 much cash, to withhold
these coupons from deposit until 1t can
be definitely understood who pays in the
first instance the income tax upon these
securities. The question is likely to prove
ono OF the most puxzling Of all the many
which will be raised by the early admin
istration Of tho income tax law.

DEVELOPMENT OF BATTLE
MOUNTAIN PLACER MINES

During the past week the develop
ments in Battle Mountain placer field
is that of history repeating itself--es-
pecially mining history, says the Bat
tie Mountain Scout An increasing
produstion has been made, an increas-
ing interest shown, more prospeetors
in the field, more finds made, the area
of deposits steadily growing, deals
and leases negotiated and the ever at
tendant legal contest launched when
mining values are proven.
The ground involved in the re-
cent injunction suit comprises only a
small area of the rapidly extending
placer field Developments in Copper
basin are growing, also in Willow
creek and other adjacent gulches
miles away from the scene of contest.
Chinese are there now leasing and
getting to work 1t is reported that
fully twenty are in the different
gulches digging to the pay streak and
building rockers.
The 12-h. p. gasoline engine and
pump have arrived and will be at
once put to work by Christianson K
Daly, throwir~ water into the ditch
that will convey il to their mines in
the canyon. Soon they will be pro
ducing on larger scale than their
hand rockers afford
While the district is responding
generously to good prospecting and is
proving to be truly poor man s
camp for placer mining, no boom or
rush is looked for or desired There
are an abundance of men here and
plenty of prospectors, so rush of
people would only result in repeating
the disappointment and hardships ex-
perienced in the early days of Roeh-
ester.
The number of discoveries and To-
cations made the past week have so
greatly increased that it is impossible
to mention them.

FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS
ANNUAL PRICE RAW FURS

A. B. Shubert, Inc, Chicago, the
largest house in the world, dealing
exclusively in American raw furs, in
letter to the editor says in part:
Fifty million dollars worth of raw
turs. Quite a large sum of money,
when you come to think of it. That
was last years production of the raw
furs of the world, and American raw
furs make up about two-thirds of the
worlds collection. Can you imagine
fifty million dollars changing hands
for American raw fuIs last season.
Yet such is the case as near as can be
estimated from the account books of
the largest collectors. The merry old
world still goes around and the com
ing of winter brings on one more raw
fur season. 1t is one of the oldest in
dustries known to man, dating back
even before the time of Christ, and
in spite of the fact that millions of
fur bearing animals are killed off ev-
cry year, in spite of the fact that
rigid game laws are enacted to pro-
tect the fur bearers, the game is far
from being extinct, and when the
collections are smaller, the price goes
up accordingly. 1t IL wonderful the
part that furs have played in the his
tory of man. They have caused wars,
led to the exploration of new lands
and changed the maps of nations but
more wonderful still are the varied
fluctuations in the market. IT is the
greatest speculative game in the
world. When the raw fur market is
at its highest pitch, Wall street
fades away to nothing alongside of it,
and so it is with the steel trust and
the tobacco trust and the rest of our
largest industries. Before people
knew what steel or tobacco was, they
were skinnlng animals for their fur,
and still the game has not died out,
in fact, this season promises more ac-
tivity than ever in the fur business.
Furs are an absolute necessity as
they form the protective clothing of
those whose occupation brings them
lin contact with the elements of win
ter. Furthermore, furs are extremely
fashionable. Miladys wardrobe is
not complete without at least one set
of furs
Fur trimmings are more popular
than ever and most of the outer gar
ments for fall and winter have very
beautiful fur trimmings. Ladies hats.
evening gowns and dresses are also be-
ing trimmed with fur.

gain IN NEVADA 5
. Mine DEVELOP PMFNT

One of the most rosy pictures paint
ed of the mining industry of Nevada,
its enormous Importance and produc-
tion of the past eight years, and what
this should develop into in the next
few years is that of Robert Murdoch,
Sr., veteran mining man of Logan.
Mr.. Murdoch says:
"Just some idea of the development
Of tae mining industry II the stat. Of
Nevada since 1904.
"Tn 1904 there was 15s producing
mines with total output of mineral
valued at $7,65S,216. In 1912 the
number of the producing mines were
704, with a total output of $3s 1855, ,73,
beino an increase OF SAG producing
mines and an increase of $50, ,700,516
worth of mineral. The above figures
I have taken from the government re-
port of 1912 on the mineral output of
Nevada.
''The total amount of wealth pro-
duced by the mining industry of Ne
vada from 1904 to 1912 is $205, 5,S1S,-
226. This amount from one industry
alone, and that with a population of
only $4,000. This same amount of
money ($205, ,S1s ,226) would almost
pay the bonded Indebtedness of all the
States in the Union, or more than
enough to pay the salaries of all the
crowned heads of Europe and all the
countries of the world for more than
six years. This amount is more than
the total valuation of the 121 plants
controlled by the American Smelter &
Refining company; almost twice as
much as the combined capitalization
of the American Sugar & Refining
company. And the mining industry of
Nevada has just begun.
With the present growth and de-
velopment in the mining industry of
Nevada, another eight years and the
value of mining products from that
state alone will amount to more than
$l00,000,000 annually.
Among the mines mentioned by
the government report are those
which go to make up the group be-
longing to the Marie Gold Mining &
Milling company" = Herald Republi-

IMMENSE TRAVEL
FOR EXPOSITION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s-Col. ID.
G. Collier. president of the San Diego
exposition, has cabled cheering news
from Europe. where he went primari-
ly for a rest from his exhausting lab
ors for the big. fair. He has been talk
ing about the splendid opportunities
that are offered foreign exhibitors to
demonstrate their prouucts at San
Diego, and he sends word that he has
are ready to unite in
collective exhibits at the San Diego
exposition, which has been well termed
1.-THE Exposition of Opportunities.
The men of affairs with whom Col.
Collier has talked in Europe have ex-
pressed amazement at the forwardness
of preparations for the exposition,
where some of the buildings are al
ready completed, and where all of
then will be ready for occupancy long
before January / 1915 the date set for
the gates to open. They have been
greatly attracted to the enterprise by
the unique scope and original plans Of
this exposition and they are quick to
see the advantages of putting their
enterprises before the many thousands
of people who will pass through its
gates.
That Europe is by no means indif-
ferent to the Importance of the expo
sition and the event it is to celebrate
is shown by statements of steamship
agents that 100000 tickets have al
ready been sold in southern Europe to
immigrants who will go to the west
coast of the United States in 1915,
when traffic gets under way through
the canal. These people will be look
ing for homes and opportunities, and
they will find them not alone in Cali
fornia, but throughout the great west,
and as far east as Minnesota and
Louisiana, and even in more distant
southern states, which are bidding for
settlers TO develop their partially
latent resources. The states whi n
have exhibits at San Diego will be in
the best position to attract these ener-
getic people, who are of the sort that
has largely contributed to the present
greatness of the United States.

to save her mother. The daughter,
however, is not seriously injured.
The accident occurred Saturday.
Mrs. Paine had just washed cloak in
gasoline and was preparing to hang it
up. As she passed the kitchen range
the cloak was ignited and the blaze
quickly spread to the woman 8 clothes,
enveloping her in flames. When the
daughter saw this she attempted to
snatch the blazing cothing from the
mother
In her frenzy the mother ran to the
yard and threw herself upon the
ground. Neighbors came to her assist
ance, but by that time her clothing,
even to her stockings, had been burn
ed on and practically her entire body
was scorched.

s. P. OFFICIALS ON
TRIP OF INSPECTION

The special train, bearing a party
of Southern Pacific officials on an an
nual inspection tour, arrived in Win
nemucca Sunday morning, at l0:15.
Included in the party were J. M.
Davis, general superintendent; James
Horsburgh, general passenger agent;
j. NJ Fulton, assistant general freight
and passenger agent; T. F. Rowlands,
superintendent of the Salt Lake divis-
ion; Assistant Superintendents. C. r.
Smith, III. w. Wistner. l.. Beaumann.
The train remained but few minutes,
during which time the officials looked
over the station and yards.
3. Klucnv was introduced to Gen
eral Manager Davis and made plea
for improvements here that will help
advertise the lands of this section. He
installed, placed in positions that when
the engines stop for water passeng
er coaches will be left standing in
front of the station. He also agreed
that if the company will place case
in the window of the ladies waiting
room, on the track side of the station,
to keep it filed with ranch products
o. this vicinity. Both propositions
evidently met with the hearty approx
al of Mr.. Davis, for he called to Supt.
Rowlands, directing him to make n
note of what Mr.. Klucny wanted and
see that it was attended to.
Whenever these improvements are
made, they will no doubt prove of as
great benefit in ADVERTISING the apri-
cultural resources of Humboldt coun-
ty as all of the other advertising by
folders and circulars combined.
