Ma As a Money Spender

Before the convention of club women met in Chi
cago estimates were made as to how much money
they would spend.
The prophets figured a total attendance dele
gates relatives friends and spectators of OOO and
upon an average outlay by each for fares hotels
and amusements, shopping and ncidentals, of 5000
making daily average of $40.
For men off for good time at national conven-
ton, these figures would not be surprising. At a
conclave of Knights Templar, for example the out.
Lay per Sir Knight probably exceeds this And most
Elks would be delighted to keep within such limit

ing. Oklahoma is one of the ex-
ampies- In that state both the
federal. state and municipal au-
thorities have tried to enforce
prohibitory laws. The following
from a Muskogee, Oklahoma,
newspa per tells the story:
The records of four junk
houses in Muskogee for 1913
show that 100000 empty quart
whisky bottles were collected by
them. The number of half pint
bottles almost equaied that of the
quarts. The 100000 were those
picked mp from alleys where they
had been dropped when emptied.
These figures do not include the
empty beer bbttles.s
Muskogee is a city of 25,275
population. Prohibition makes
bottle drinkers and increases the
quantity of liquor consumed and
reduces the quality of the bexer-
age. Muskogee is a fair sample
of the failure of prohibitory laws.

seeing things.

He needs a vacation, doesn't he?
Instead of mobs and guillotines the marvellous fact
or the present time is the nexhaustibIe patience of
the people.
Here 1T is, almost year since everybody has had
proof of the looting of the New Haven railroad b,v
which hundreds of millions were fched from con

Don't Tenporize With L. w. w.

The persistency with which a certain coterie of |. w. w. agitators
keeps coming back to Goldfeld after being repeatedly warned that
their propaganda of sabotage will not be tolerated here, is getting on
the nerves of this community. These speers, whose infamnatory APP
'peals IAN only meet with sympathy from loafers who continually hold
the law in defnace, have upon several occasions shown their absolute
contempt for the officers of the law by coming back to this camp and
making incendiary appeals after being warned not to do So
Last night the same l. w. w. agitator who was sent out of Gold
field a week or so ago, again appeared upon the street and was more
rabid than usual in his remarks. 1t is understood that he promised to
return at a later date, and his remarks throughout were anarchistic in
the highest degree. The Tribune does not believe that these Wont
Workers make the slightest appeal to the real workingman who has a
family to support and is receiving here the highest wage compatible
with the conditions obtaining in the camp. But if they are allowed to
continue their incendiary mouthings the ultimate result will be trouble
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure-and especially in
this case. Tonopah has but recently felt the effect of temporarizng
with a band of agtators whose only purpose is to stir up discomfort
and it is now apparent that these worthless have picked out Godfeld
"a. the next place in which to pitch their tents. However, they might
as we'll be made to understand right now that this community of honest
thinking men is not in sympathy with their attempts to stir up strife.
The mine operators of Nevada are confronted at this time by a
situation that is unusual and they are endeavoring to work it out to the
best interests of all concerned. It is a poor time for a bunch of hoboes
to try to make trouble. This camp will not tolerate any interference
Also, any attempt to play politics with the situation will undoubtedly
gain its own reward.

HIGH-WATER MARK FOR LIME

The manufacture of lime in the
United States in 1913 broke all pre-
viOus records, the production
amounting to 3,595,39O short tons,
valued at $14,648,362, according to
r. w. Stone of the United States
geological survey. This was an in
crease of 1912 of 65,928 IONS in
quantity and of $678.24S in value.
The average price per ton in 1913
was $4.07, as compared with 1895
in 1912 and $4.03 in 1911. While
Pennsylvania Is the largest produc-
er, the output of this state is only
1856 per cent of the total, indicating
the wide distribution of the indus
try; in fact, A states reported to
the survey a production of lime in
1913.
Lime used in building operations
represents nearly a third of the to-
tai output, but large quantities are
sold to chemical works. sugar factor
les, %tanneries, etc., as well as to
farmers for broadcasting on agricul-
tural land.

Good Mine Investments

There was never a time when mining offered greater inducements
to the careful investor than the present, and especially is this true OF
investments i'll paying gold mines. Cold is the foundation stone o all
trade and commerce, and in times of great upheaval such as now con-
fronts the world through the great European war, gold is especially at
tradive. The demand for copper is falling off but the demand for gold
will be greater than ever and men with money will be looking Tor gold
mine investments more alerty than usual.
An exchange says that the late Cecil Rhodes was not an orator
that he made his money in mining and his success was phenomenal
But at least II speech has been unearthed that was delivered by the
South African mining magnate in London a few years before his death
that will go down in mining history as a classic. these are he WORDS
he used at that time:
l have made a great study of the mining question and have
statistics, not only OF Great Britain and Africa, but of the world,
carefully compiled, relative to this proposition, so that might not
be in error.
This investigation shows that mining has always offered
greater inducements than any business in the world to make quick
and great wealth.
My investigation further shows that farming is more risky
than mining; that go per cent more people lose money and fail in
the mercantile business than in mining, and that Al per cent more
lose money in the manufacturing business than in mining; and y
per cent more men lose money in any other business than in min
ing.
Mining is the backbone of wealth and the spinal column OF all
certainty.
believe that investment in good mining stock is the most
profitable investment and very much the safest; and is the safest
because your security is the ore itself, and the raw material OF
money is the security of your money in a good mining PROPOSE
ton.
Those who are inclined to decry mining investments and to dwell
on its risks might do well to ponder this statement. OF course every
wildcat mining stock gives no assurance to the purchaser of its utlt-
mate value, but these are not the kind of securities which Rhodes had
in mind. He was considering genuine mining investments in pro-
ductive mines. These kind of investments do not fluctuae, and the
risk is reduced to a minimum.
1t is not so easy to find a good mine, but one paying proposito
will make up for a hundred failures, and there is something in human
nature intensely persistent which never is willing to admit defeat
That is why mining will always be one of the industries to continue to
grow and prosper. 1t is constantly attracting new capital

alive investment in the east should turn the eyes of many to that por-
ton of the United States which lis most remote from the centers of the
worlds turmoil and presents a greater measure of free opportunity than
any other similar area the globe. Some of our mining men display a
little pessimism over the possible effects of the European situation upon
western investments, particularly because of the temporary disturbance
of the metal markets. 1t should be remembered that the suppression
of industry abroad, which has caused a sudden abatement of the pr-
chase of raw materials. will soon be more than compensated by the
necessary purchase of these very materials made up into manufactured
goods. The United States will be making the things which have hither-
to been produced abroad out of the raw resources. of this country.
Germany is a nation which produces a large number of things
which Americans scarcely think of manufacturing. The sudden sus-
pension of these numerous industries will prove a lesson to our own
country. We have permitted the technical patience and skill of the
German to outdistance us in a thousand ways. War will have changed
much of this and given us a new point of view for a fresh start toward
the great goal of industrial progress which the United States is pur-
suing.

Down With High Prices

The Tribune does not believe in reneraion as a usual thing, but
there is one subject that it believes should be kept before the public at
this time. That is the matter of the arbitrary increase i'll the price of
foodstufs by the nen who are holding up the European war as a
bogey-man.
Already Goldfeld has entered the nationwide fight against this
imposition, the womans club, through Mrs. Sprague, having sent tee-
grams to the Nevada members of congress urging them to give Their
support to the Investigations that have been started by the department
of Justice and the department of commerce. This action was timely.
In many cities OF the country there are organizations known as
housewives leagues. These organizations are getting busy and the
word has gone out to inaugurate a boycott against certain articles OF
food. Last winter when the price of eggs was aeroplaning the house
wives league branches. through the boycott, put a efectual kibosh
on the egg market. No doubt concerted action throughout the country
now will have the same good effect At any rate it is worth trying.
There is nc real reason for war prices i'll the United States at this
time, and already there ire tales of great suffering among the poor of
the east who cannot pay the prices demanded for foodstuffs by the
rapacious hucksters.
Down with the high prices!

Must Await Adjustment

Officials of the government and American hnanciers are just now
confronted by one OF the most perplexIng problems that has ever arisen
in this country. 1t is that of adjusting the foreign business relations
of the United States to a condition of war among the leading powers
of Europe. In the period since the Franco Prussan war this country
has developed into the dominating power of the globe and its CONNER
cIal relations are world -encircEng and complex.
It is a condition that must be endured, says the Denver Mining
Record. The suspension of trading on the eastern exchanges; the sud
den disappearance of a market for silver and the decrease in the de-
nand for other metals for foreign consumption; the general uncertainty
in many spheres of activity; these are things that have to be reckoned
with. Nevertheless, there is bound to be a rapid improvement and the
result will be eminently favorable to the welfare of the people of North
America. The United States will emerge from its share Of the worlds
