President G. M. MacNeill and Man.

Utah Copper company reached Salt

Salt Lake Herald-Republican. They

in any way by the distressing wal
clash in Europe.
"We hope things will soon right

necessarily suffers first. 1t is i'm

messed.

cal situation to the greatest interests
of both the company and the en-
ployes. 1t is absolutely necessary to
curtail operations under the circum-
stances, as I stated in the telegram
from Idaho to the Herald-Republi-
can of yesterday. 1t would be unwise
for us to pile up a tremendous stock
of unsold copper with nc market in
sight. We have tried to light upon
a plan Of operations working to the
best advantage of our employees.
This should give them a chance to
get along, or until they find better
places elsewhere. We certainly hope
present conditions will not last long,
and that the mine will soon be back
doing business On full schedule.
Our greatest financial interest
would be to slack up at once, cutting
down the number of employees to the
percentage of production indicated
by the consuming market. Instead
we adopted a plan which seemed the
best for all concerned"

MEET
IN SILVER CAMP
COL. w. w. BOOTH MAKES AID
MuRABLE HOST TO MEMBERS
OF ASSOCIATION

The midsummer meeting of the
Nevada Press Association was held
at Tonopah yesterday. The attend
ance was rather disappointing, but
the date of the meeting fell at a
time when many of the members
could not well leave their offices.
These sent proxies and kilograms of
regret. In the afternoon a bust
ness meeting was held at which i'm
portant matters were discussed and
resolutions adopted. The attitude OF
the association toward certain legis-
lation and matters affecting their
interests will be given publicity ;
a later date.
Two new members were elected
w. j. Stoneham of the Tonopah
Miner and Charles P. Squires of the
Las Vegas Age-and these gentle
men attended the meeting. Those
lin attendance were: D. E. Williams.
president of the association, of the
Churchill County Eagle; E. r. Har-
roun, secretary, of the Winnemucca
Silver State; v. l.. Ricketts,, vice
president, of the Reno Gazette; j. A
Mccarthy of the Walker Lake Bull
letin; j. Holman Buck of the West
ern Nevada Miner; w. T. Mcneil of
the Western Home Builder of Car
lin; w. w Booth of the Tonopah
Bonanza; A. C. White of the Gold
field Tribune, and the new members
mentioned above.
Colonel Booth was an admirable
host and entertained the editors late
in the afternoon with an automobile
ride and later at dinner at the Miz-
pah. This morning President Will
liams and wife and Charles p.
Squires came over to Goldfield and
put in the day seeing the points of
interest in the premier gold camp.
One of the most enjoyable features
of the Tonopah meeting of the edi-
tors was furnished by w. D. Forster,
traffic manager of the TOnOpah &
Goldfield railroad. Sunday morn
ing in his private car he went to
Nina, there to await the delegation
coming from the north on yesterday
mornings train. On the trip from
Nina TO Tonopah the editors were
entertaioed at breakfast and were
Mr.. Forster's guests in the private
car Mizpah. This was a decided re-
lief from the tedium of an ordinary
trip and was greatly appreciated by
his guests, 4

CHANGE
IN PATENT COSTS
L. $. SURVEYOR GENERAL FOR
UTAH THINKS FARMER
FAVORED

That the mining industry does not
receive the attention of the govern
ment to which it is entitled and that
the farmers are greatly favored, is
the opinion of l. G. Thoresen, United
States surveyor general for Utah,
and he believes that the miner
should be allowed to purchase his
claims under the same advantages
as the farmer, says the Deseret News.
Relative to his idea of what changes
should be made, Mr.. Thoresen says:
upon the application of the farm
er the government surveys, at it's
own expense, the land he desires to
claim, and under the homestead
laws gives him, practically free of
cost, 100 acres of land, his own
choice, if he will but live on it for
three years, or, if he chooses, after
residing on it for IA months, he can
secure title by the payment of $1.25
per acre. Or he can get 800 acres
in certain parts of the west by mere
ly c%ultivating o%ne-eighth of it each
year, without living on it at all. Or
he can get 800 acres for 1925 per
acre by retaining it by artificial irri-
CATION.
"The miner, on the other hand,
has to first prospect his ground,
make and record his location, and
find mineral in place." and in the
recent past Gin commercial quanti-
ties" complying with all local laws,
rules and regulations, expend $500
in development of his claim of 20
acres before he can get a permit to
have his claim legally surveyed, at
his own expense, which costs, on the
average. another $500, before patent
is issued to him, to say nothing of
making his 20 acres cost him about
$50 per acre for his ground (includ-
ing the governments net price of SIS
per acre..
1T was formerly presumed that
mining was very profitable and a
'get-rich-quick' proposition and that
farming was slow and uncertain as
TO results, especially in the arid
west.
But time and experience have
proven just the opposite. A farmer
with the same standard of knowl-
edge and experience in his line that
an average miner has in his, is sure
to succeed. He gets some crop each
year, and his claim improves con-
tinually with every dollar expended
and every days work. His living is
certain, with much less capital in
vested than the miner requires. He
lives in peace with his family. But
the poor miner gets no return for
years. His efforts and expenditures
often prove that there are no re-
turns at all from his claim. His
lonely life in the hills as he burrows
into the mountain through a small
prospectOr's tunnel is not to be COM
pared with the pleasant life of the
farmer.
"Our government expends vast
sums in the aid of agriculture, in a
thousand different ways, but a very
limited amount for the development
of the mineral of our coun-
try.
"The world is eagerly demanding
our gold, silver and other minerals,
We have them in unbounded quaint
ties, with plenty of men and means
to bring them out, If only a little
encouragement be given by the gov
eminent.
Let us give the miner a chance!'
