new LOCATION
FOR POSTOFF|CF

Indications are that about the first
of May, at .he latest, the Winnemucca
postofiiee will be moved to new auar
ters. For long time it has been
recognized as fact that the present
quarters are too small, and with the
advent of the parcels post more room
has become imperative.
Three years or more ago, an effort
was made to secure another location
for the Office and it would probably
have been done had it not been for
the fact that Senator Nixon had in
troduced bill in the senate providinc
for public building for Winnemucca.
This measure passed the upper house,
but under present conditions there is
SO little likelihood of its being en-
acted into law that the idea has
been abandoned by the department.
Yesterday Inspector W. w. Shea, of
the postoffice department, arrived in
Winnemucca, and today has taken 40
the matter Of a new location for the
postoffee Seen this noon by Silver
state representative, Inspector Shea
acknowledged that he had received

discuss the natter further than to say
they would be forwarded to Wash
ington Immediately, with his recon-
mendations. He further stated that a
conclusion should be reached by the
department within the next six weeks,
when a contract will be closed.
From outside sources il is learned
that one proposal came from NJ Rein
hart, who is willing TO lease the low
err half Of the building at present oc-
eupied by "The Toggery's" ladies
department. The other was submitted
by f. A. Brown, for quarters in a new
building, to be erected at the corner
Of Fourth and Baud streets. in the
rear of the Silver State building. In
case this last proposition is accepted
IL is not likely the building will be
ready for occupancy before the first
of May.

COMPARATIVE VALUE
OF AUTOGRAPHS

Now that the Interstate Commerce
Commission is to value everything in
the railroad line, the sentimentalist
turns for relief from physical to men
tai valuation. / have recently seen
two fine examples of the latter in a
price list of autographs from the dis
eliminating Messrs. Sotheren of Pie
ealilly.
George Washington is valued by
them as worth eighty times as much
as "Theodore, twenty y-sixth President
L. s. Al And letter signed Henry
James, instructing Mrs. Bronson to
cook him "some chicken broth with a
little rice in it, is given precisely
the same value as a signature alone
from the celebrated author of "Afri-
can Lions / Have Lunched With. - To
be sure, the latter has the advantage
of "White House, Washington, in
embossed letters at top right-hand
corner; half a guinea.
| submit that distinguished pres;-
dent and a celebrated author have
been grossly undervalued by these
odorous comparisons Richard Wal

GRASS VALLEY SFTTLERS
PREPARING FOR SPRING

James Edmunds returned the first
of the week from Lenox, Iowa. Last
fall he and his son, Hugh Edmunds,
and the latter's wife, took up see
ton or more of land at Grass valley,
and short time ago another section
was located oy Ralph Shipman, step
son of Mr.. Edmunds. The latter has
built house and is living on his
land, and is just completing a barn.
Within the next few weeks Mr.. and
Mrs. Hugh Edmunds will arrive from
Iowa, with two carloads of stock and
farming utensils, and will move on to
their land. In the early spring all of
the new settlers will sink wells for
irrigation.
Mr.. Edmunds states that a number
of his old neighbors in Iowa have be-
come interested in the Possibilities of
Humboldt county land and several of
them will visit this section in the
spring

NEVADA FIRST IN
SILVER PRODUCTION

The worlds production of gold dur.
ing 1912 was $5,500,O00 greater than
in 1911, the total having been $465..
100000, according to preliminary
estimate announced New Years dav
by George f. Roberts, director of the
mint
Gold production in the United
States amounted to $91. .6s5.16s. com.
pared with 500. 900 in 1911 Cali
fornia led with $19,9ss, ,4s6; Colorado
was second with sls,79 40: Alaska
third with s17 ,39s,946; Nevada fourth
with 1881 $50 and south Dakota
fifth with $7,795,6s0.
Of the worlds production. the
Iransvaal and Rhodesia made a gain
OF about $20,0Oo, 900 and Canada gain.
ed nearly $3,000,000 The United
States, Mexico and Australia lost
about $16,000,000. and in the rest of
the world the production was about
what 1T was last year. Since 1908.
when the production of gold in the
world was $442,475,000, the annual in.
crease has been small.
The mint service of the Jrn;ted
states during the year sold $38, ,OOO.-
600 worth of gold bars for consump-
soh ~ thc fsiJs III tnlS country and
canada as against $35,000,000 in 1911.
The net consumption of new gold, in
Guiding coin for such uses in the
United States and Canada was about
$35, 100000 and in the world excluding
Asia, probably between 800, O,O0O. 900
and $115,O00,00O
The absorption of gold by India
again attracted attention. The net
imports of India in 1909 were $50
100000; in 1910, $90,000,000: in l9ll
6,500,000. The movemnt of silver
to India also continues heavy. The
lmportations of silver in ounces dur
ing 1912 have been exceeded only once
in the history of India-in 1906.
The increase of gold in the none
tary stock of the United States in
1917 was approximately $1,000. 900.
The gold holdings of the United
States treasury increased about $7O.-

The production Of silver in the
United States during 1912 amounted
to 62,36S,974 fine ounces compared
with 60,399, 400 fine ounces in 1911.
the chief gains in production having
been in Utah and Colorado. Nevada

STATE BANKS IN
SOUND CONDITION

The Silver State is in receipt of the
annual report of Eugene Howell. state
bank examiner In closing the report
Mr. Howell has the following to saw
regarding banking conditions in the
state:
g 1t will be seen that the new
banking law has had its effect in
many instances. BY way of ilustra-
tlon, overdrafts amounting to 1885,
2ls.l5, which were carried by the
banks in January, 1911, have now
been reduced to $50, 1927, or a de-
crease of $425,750.s8.
IT is apparent that the present
banking act is good and strong one.
and is gradually making itself felt
throughout the state; and had we a
banking law of this kind for the
banks to live up to, prior to 1907, the
prediction is there would have been no
bank failures in Nevada.
Another thing not to be overlook.
ed is the fact that the state is getting
on more prosperous basis, and her
great resources are being taken hold
of in stronger way Confidence is
being restored, money is easier. and
more of il in the banks. as is shown
by the foregoing comparative bank
statement, which is an index to the
situation and conditions as they really
exist. Figures speak louder than
words, as evidenced by the following
facts: Banks are carving the
large cash reserve of 36 7-10 per cent.
Loans have increased $444.254.75.
Cash on hand and in banks amounts
to s3,349 ,0s3.so, showing an increase
272,023.12. Deposits have increased
81 O90,536.60 during the time, demon
strating that our present banking sys-
TEN is on a solid substantial basis. -

WHAT THE UNITED STATES
HAS DONE FOR PORTO RICO

French writer, Just back from a
visit to Porto Rico, is no less aston
ished at our achievements there. He
writes; "The Americans may well
feel proud of having made Porto Rico
one of the richest countries in the
world. - Under Spanish rule the ex-
ports never exceeded $4,000 900
year; they are now $4,000 900 a year.
Property values have more than
doubled, and so have wages. We are
exploiting the excellent Porto Rico
coffee and tobacco and progress in
education has kept pace with the ma
terial advance. 1t is the story of the
Philippines over again. The vast
benefits derived from the two agricu
tural industries we have introdp 81

the merchants of New Yorb who

The game was full of sensational
plays on both sides and it was gem

best game Of the season. During the
first half New York had the local team
"buffaloed'' and the score was "a to rs
but in the second half the soldier boys

The team work of the nationals was
superb and thoroughly enjoyed by low

the locals was fine and New York had
great difficulty in breaking it up The

could in former years-not by an

peciaIiy for the king of second sack
ers upon specifications drawn by him
self. Its counterpart cannot be found
elsewhere in h big leagues. In the
first place 1t is an eighth of an inch
larger than the one he formerly wore
and Larry swears that he will be able
to field grounders this year that got
away from him last season.
Incidentally, the first thing that
Larry did upon receiving this new piece
of furniture was to remove the web
between the thumb. and forefinger-just
to give him an eighth of an inch in ad-
ditional reach.
