putation unsullied and name un-
tarnished. The Philadelphia West
ern is making good and unless all
signs fail, will yet become one of
the important gold producers of
Nevada. Keep your eye on Hill
top and watch it progress in the
mining world.
The reason why Hilltop and the
Philadelphia Western are mention
ed so prominently in this article is
that this story could not be told with
them left out. They are working
more men and doing more actual
mining than any other company
in the district and but for the Phil
adelphia Western, Harry Gilmore
would not be the central figure of
this article. Last fall Harry secur-
ed a lease from the above named
company and induced a Mr.. Koenig,
from the town that produces the
beer that made Milwaukee famous,
to finance leasing operations in this
hitherto despised, but now much-to-
be desired, territory.
A large ledge of free milling
gold ore was encountered soon af-
ter operations began. Development
work has confirmed a hitherto
formed opinion that Messrs Koenig
and Gilmore are in the money
strong enough to make them i'm
portant factors in future develop
ment of Nevada mines. They have
a large body of ore uncovered
which runs from 500 up to figures
that makes ones head dizzy. Hill
top has at last come into her own
and to the Philadelphia Western
belongs the credit, while a share of
the glory, prestige and emoluments
necessarily and justly go to Harry
Gilmore and his co-partner, Mr..
Koenig of Milwaukee.

If the value of persistency needs
any exemplification. Harry Gill
more has given the required demon
stration at Hilltop. Four years
ago while working as blacksmith
at the Kimberly mines in Lander
County, Harry done little desul-
tary prospecting now and then.
One day he made a discovery which
made him feel an intense desire to
get into the millionaire class and
he saw visions of glittering gold in
his dreams for weeks and. months
thereafter. Harry knew that it was
not chimera but pleasing reality
The difficulty was he could not find
a man of means to share his op-
timism. Several prominent Nevada
men weIe approached when Harry
met the usual response that the
woods were full of "big things"
but no money was forthcoming to
make "big thing" an accomplish
ed fact. Gilmore kept his own
counsel and Kimberly went the way
of many other camps that have
died a-booming. .-

Washington. May 14.-The an
nounced intention of Secretary of
Commerce Redfield, supported by
President Wilson, to use the Bur-
eau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merre in wide investigation of
the effects of tariff revision upon
industry is one Of the most advanc-
ed steps ever takeE by any admins
tration in Washington.
While the tariff is being revised
downward, and the beneficiaries of
the favoritism and special privi-
leges of protection sre squirming
under the operation, the admins
tration is showing that it is the true
friend of capital legitimately in
vested in industry.
Naturally, during the process of
reducing tariff rates, Washington
is ringing with standpat shouts
that the Democrats are running
business. Many industries are
claiming that if the pending bill
is enacted theV will either have to
close down or reduce wages.
In the past the Republicans
have accepted these ex parte
statements as facts and have based
the protective tariff on them.
The Democratic administration
p&e oses to find out the true
facts with its own Investigation
If close study of the books,
manufacturing methods, and trade
conditions in any industry which
naturally exists in this country
shows that it cannot stand the
degree of tariff reduction propos-
ed, the facts in the case will be
given to the Ways and Means Com
mittee for the proper action.
But the government proposes 10
learn the real facts by.personal
investigation, and not to accept
the prejudiced and unsupported
statements of men who may be
deriving undue profit from protec-
ton.
The manufacturers who are try
ing to frighten the tariff makers
with their calamity shouts must be
prepared to make good on their
charges.
The investigation will be of in
estImable value to workingmen.
1t is entirely possible that certain
industries may make tariff reduc-
tion the excuse of reducing wages.
Should investigation show that the
manufacturer can easily stand the
tariff reduction, he would be afraid
to reduce wages. If however, un-
der such circumstances he went
ahead and reduced wages anyhow,
