NEVADA PRESS COMMENT


The Leasing System
Almost every time o mining company
finds itself short Of funds land frequent
ly at other times) 10 leases all or part of
its territory to some one on q royalty
basis. says the New York Mining Age.
Almost every time a leaser fiuds a profit
able shoot of ore a storm of criticism
goes up from the shareholders in the
mining company against the folly of
letting some other fellow take out ore
and keep some Of the proceeds for him
self.
II ever a man or a corporation earned
what he got from a piece of work, the
leaser earns his share. The leaser goes
in where the company fears to tread.
The leaser found the Mohawk ore shoot
and made Goldfeld a camp; the leaser
has developed Cripple Greek and pulled

brink of mining eternity to q sound
footing of renewed produotiveness. the

him.
His success comes because he sets q
piece of work ahead OF him, takes off
his coat, rolls up his sleeves and pitches
in. His money Ind his energy go direct
to the place where his Judgment tells
him they will do the greatest good. He
will follow a mineralizsd stringer or a
theory all over the lot until he reaches
his goal or goes broke, and the fact that
his nose is everlasSingly following the
scent, and his eye searching for signs of
the trail, makes him oft times success
full where the lordly mine manager
would fail.
While the toilsome. slow and unexcit-
ing search is going on, the complacent
shareholder sits back with folded hands
and r~ejoices that his property is being
developed at no cost to himself, and
congrstulates himself that % per cent
of the output comes to him N way.
which, being all profit, is about as well
as he could hope to do if he were doing
the mining himself. But when the
shipments go out and only a measly lit
tie % per cent comes into the erstwhile
complacent shareholder-why, then it is
his cue to rail at the stupidity Of tie di.
rectorate that would squander the pat
rlmony. etc.,. etc., etc.
Let us give the leaser his due. Were
il not for him there would be fewer
mines in the world, and goodness knows
we need all we've got When he sue
ceeds, let us not grudge him his profits.
but be glad instead that we are lucky
enough to profit by some one else's brains
and grit and money.-Tonopah Bonanza.

The Value of Experience

An older man, if he is experienced, thinks faster. clearer,
quicker than a young man. All along, after so, perhaps for 20
years, the mind is receiving the stimulus of age.
Lately there has been a discussion of the question, "When Is a
Man His Best?" The medical men now confess that a large number
of diseases are intoxicant in their effect upon the mind, up to the
point OF abreakdown. The greatest State papers of the last three
European centuries were written by equity fingers. In a case Of
govt the mind sparkles just before the attack. There is no doubt
that tuberculosis is often a stimulant to the utmost briliancy, love-
illness of character and clearness of vision.
In some sense the decay of bodily vgor is accompanied with
extraordinary increase of mental powers-as if into the fame of the
soul were being cast the fuel of bodily life. The costly furniture OF
the dwelling is being pitched into the CRATE and flashes IS no other
flame does.
Younger men, who now sit in the chief office seats, generally
Judge the old men of he store by their legs, which are stiff. But
these older men smile to themselves, as they are conscious how
much further they can see; how much more penetrat;ve past the
surface is their vision; how much quicker they take in the situation
and say nothing, while the boys puzzle it out
The tremendous advantage of the view from higher up the
road is a JOY to the man of advancing years. 1t has always been
SO. Tits a compensation. The toxin of go has really given us the
masterpieces of music, literature. stagecraft, commerce. The cor
poration which displaces the "seer," the prophet" because his
legs cannot jump, is as foolish as the skipper would be who dis
pensed with the lookout in the prov.
It is for the very reason that his own mind is so much a satisfac-
ton, that the older man sometimes withdraws from others and be-
comes unsocial; often selfish. Indeed, it is this fault that mainly
counts against him. He ceases to make friends. That, and not
decay, is his faiure-New York Mail.

The Gambling Law

Inc 0oLuOnn8 LdD
While we are not prepared to endorse
the local option gambling law now be-
fore the Legislature, we certainly are
very strongly in favor Of some kind of
IN amendment or the enactment of
something new in regard to the vice of
gambling. The law as it stands now is
a farce, a big piece of foolishness. and
of no real force nor effect. 1t is known
to everybody, everywhere in the State
that it is violated with impunity every
night and every day in the year. There
is not a town, village. hamlet. mining
camp or any other place where a few
men are gathered together, but what a
person playtully inclined can get n
kind of q game he looks for. The pen.
atty for playing any kind OF a game OF
chance is SO severe that officers hesitate
to see what is going on. The opinion
of the Attorney General hat the game
of solo is excepted from the provisions OF
law. has made u loop hole, and those
who like to take a chance have gradual
ly enlarged the small rent in the law so
that it has become a great cash. large
enough to permit the passage of a hun
dred dollar pot without even touching
the sides. In many places the gam Of
poker. both draw and stud.horse, is
played publicly. the only respect shown
the law being that the players use checks
to bet with, instead of money, and were
an officer to look over a game, he would
have no evidence forced upon him that
there was any value to the worries, or
that the players were doing anything
more than to amuse themselves. Large
sums of money change hands in this
way, contrary to the law. and no one
cares enough about it to make aver an
attempt TO enforce the law.
A law that is not enforced is worse
than no law at all, and only serves to
create contempt for all laws. This is
the way with the present gambling law.
It is not enforced. and will never be,
because the great body of men. the
world over. want to gamble ia some
way, and each man. whether he be en-.
gagged in u game or not, feels that he is
q fellow with the players. and will not
take a part. directly or indirectly. In
prosecuting others for what he likes to
do himself. We should either have
the law enforced to the letter, or have
it so modified that what is left of it can
be enforced.
IL is difficult to tell just what ought
to be done, bat certainly something
should happen to the law, making it q
felony to gamble in Nevada.-Carson
News.

The fact that an Ohio jury convicted the officers of the National
Cash Register Company of criminal conspiracy, and the further
fact that % Of the men have been sentenced to terms in prison
comes as a shock to trust magnates generally. 1t has long been
assumed by corporation managers that their money and their in
fuence make them immune from prison. The sentence of % OF
these men to prison teaches otherwise. These % men may escape
their sentence. But the time may come when even complacent
courts will fal. to find "errors' enough in a trial to enable men who
defy the law to escape punishment Public sentiment is crystaliz-
ing into a determination that rich men who break the law must
suffer punishment, just as poor men do And public sentiment is
making an impression on judges and juries.-S Z. Examiner.
