The Men Who STAY

Under the caption of THE Men Who Stay" the Reno Gazette in a
recent issue said editorialy:
Mining activity in Nevada is not confined to single locality nor to
a few isolated districts, but is widespread and general. 1t is the history
of the industry that intense interest centers in On camp for a time and
then removes to another. This interest is not heralded. 1t does not send
trumpeters in its advance, nor, when it departs, does it give previous an
nomcement.
This shifting of excitement might be deemed by the uninihated to
signify that mining is a transitory industry, sprnging up and decaying
as does the mushroom. ii is true that the swiring vortex moves from
place to place like the centrpetal sandstorm of the desert. But in its
wake remain the workers who transform prospects into mines and de-
velop morars and pestes into milling plants and smeters.
But the excitement or interest sweeps on, and no one knows where
the next rush will take place. Everybody who has the itch on his foot
soles, the pioneering spirit, the lure of conquest, the longing for the
golden romance of the wilds, wants to be the first n among the first
on the ground. He exuts in the transition of mesa to townshe, of
townsite to seething city of tents and shacks, and then to structures of
brick ad stone.
Some Of the Adventures emerge with pethOric bank accounts,
but the great majority gather and dissipate their pile and seek new
fields of conquest. Those who stay, and those who came later, reap the
more certain rewards, provided the mining camp is built on siicious rock
instead of shifting desert sand.
There are many instances in the past few years of mining men who
have built up substantial fortunes by staying with mining camps after
the excitement had vanished and the slow period of development
dragged along. They are the men who had faith in Goldfield and Tono-
.ph and who stayed while the froth and foam of the mad excitement of
other years was dlsipated. They have GENE into their own and nobody
begrudges them their good fortune.

Nevada Mining Industry

That Goldfeld stands high in the estimation of the investing pub
lie of the United States cannot be successfully gainsaid. Since the camp
has taken on a new err of prosperity in the past few weeks there have
been many kind things said about Goldfield and the state of Nevada. 1t
seems that everybody is rejoicing in the future that now appears as
ured for this camp. In its latest issue Copper Curb and Mining Outlook
of New York says:
Notwithstanding the many drawbacks against which the mining in.
dustry of Nevada has had to contend, beginning with the panic of 1907
and eliminating in the present European war, which, until very recent
.y, has SO completely upset the markets for copper and silver metal, am
pie evidence has lately been adduced that the mining business of that
state is in very good shape. For many years prior to the panic of seven
mining companies in Nevada, and mine owners and promoters waxed
rich. With that tremendous disturbance to business conditions general
.y came a swing of the pendulum in an entirely opposite direction, and
since then it has been an extremely difficult matter to obtain money
either for the development of the mining properties in the state or for
speculation or investment in their securities. The result has been that
Nevada has had a period of seven long and lean years.
With the recent infusion of new blood and new capital into the min
ing industry of Nevada, however, the past month or so has witnessed
an awakening in the business of mining iii that state which, if main
tanned, spells prosperity for that community as well as for all those who
have pinned their faith on the future development of Nevada as a min
ing camp, second to none, perhaps, in the United States.
Advices now coming to hand from Nevada fairly TEEN with news of
I return to former activities in the mining industry of that locality, and
while in some instances these should be taken with the proverbal large
grain of salt, there is sufficient in the news pouring in of a dependable
character to warrant the assertion that the future of that state from the
viewpoint of actual mine development seems now assured as never be-
fore in its long and eventful career.

Bureau of Mines Report

DR.. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the United States bureau OF
mines, has lust submitted his fourth annual report to the secretary OF
the interior. The saving of human life in the mines, the stopping of mil
lions of dollars of waste of the mineral resources of the country and an
inventory of the wastes that are continuing art given important consld-
Grafton in the report
According to DIR. Holmes, the bureau has recorded its most notable
at different disasters, and the rescue of many more miners by volunteers
who had been trained in life saving work by the bureau. The bureau S
influence has further resulted in the establishment of rescue and first
rector makes the statement that the trained rescuers connected with
these stations will in the future save the lives of many men. The total
number of miners trained by the bureau has now reached 24O75.
Despite the efforts of the bureau of mines, Director Holmes de-
clares that the loss of life is far greater than it should be with the nat
ural hazards of the industry, and makes a plea for more extended inves-
legations O the part of the government. THE humanitarian motives
for undertaking such Investigations are obvious, says the director. "a
sufficient economic reason is that during the past year more than 5000
men were killed and more than 100000 injured in lining and metal
lurgcal industries Of the country. Onelhalf of these fatalities and
threefourths of the injuries may be regarded as easily preventable. The
money loss from the accidents may be estimated at not less than $I2,
100000 a year, and this loss must be ultimately paid by the consumers
of mineral products throughout the country. The necessity for a more
extensive us of safety appliances in the mines is shown by the state
ment that in the last five years, through lack of such appliances, more
than $500 men have been killed in the mines and nearly 10000 seriously
injured. This applies largely to coal mining.
Director Holmes also calls attention to the discovery of a process by
its supposed curative qualities, can be produced at one-third of its pres
~nt cost. With radium now selling at $4,000 a gram. its reduction in
price to $4,000, will it is said, result in many hospitals throughout the
country being able to purchase a supply. The process devised by the
bureaus chemists has already been tested with success in the plant of

dependent shaft, Mr.. Whittemore's
statement says:
"The Atlanta will never have to
sink a working shaft as long as the
management wants to use the Mer-
ger shaft under a fair and reason
able working arrangement. The
only occasion that the Atlanta could
have for the sinking of a new shaft
would be the development of ore at
a great distance from the Merger
shaft, as it would make it more C 20
nomical to do so. But such a con-
tingency is very remote. The very
object and purpose of the great
three-compartment shaft of the Mer-
gel. is to provide an outlet for all the
deep workings of that entire region.
With its great hosting plant and
facilities, it is fully capable of TAX
ing carr of not only the Atlanta, but
also the Merger for a long time to
come. That investment of $780,
900 is a permanent investment
which will be for the benefit Of all
the surrounding territory"

the national radum institute, which is under the supervision of the tech
meal staff of the bureau of mines.
The bureau also claims that through its scientific method of pr-
chasing coal by measuring the heat units the federal government has
saved during the year 100000 and that the various cities of the coun-
try that have taken up this plan of buying coal reported a saving last
year of thousands of dollars. Director Holmes places the present waste
CT mineral resources of the country at the sum of 100000 a day and
declares that in a large measure this waste is unnecessary. "In one re-
spect at least" says the director, "the consideration of mineral waste has
a basis quite different from the consideration of agricultural waste.
Our crops represent an annual production from a reasonably permanent
soil; our forests may grow again, though a much longer period of time
is required; and the soils themselves may be reproduced from the sub
soil and the rock beneath. But of Our mineral resources we have only
the one supply. This supply is to a considerable extent destroyed by
use, and at the present increasing rate at which we are using and
wasting it our n supply of a number of of these resources will be either
exhausted or largely depleted while the nation is yet in its youth.

War Strength of Turkey

The advent of the Ottoman empire into the field of European hostl-
tiles has aroused much interest as to what she may be able to do but SO
far little information has been available. In the fourth war issue of the
Scientific American of December 5 a military authority endeavors to sup
Div some of the facts as follows:
There is probably no army regarding which it is more difficult to
make any definite statement of strength than that of Turkey. The es
Inmates of the total number of men, fully armed and equipped, that Tur-
key can put in the field vary all the way from over 100000 to 100000
the latter being the estimate of certain military men in the United States
army whose opportunities for gathering information on this subject are
unusually favorable.
In 1910 there was undertaken a revision of the whole military sys-
tenn, and at that time the term O.. service was twenty years from the age
of twenty to the age of forty for all Ottoman subjects. Formerly Christ
ian subjects of the Ottoman empire were exempt, but had to pay an

Reminded of Proverb
Il cannot help but believe that

patient endurance. My visit here
at this time has reminded me of an
old proverb that 1 once read and

the time Where Something Is
Found, There Look Again That
ought to be adopted as a slogan for
the New Goldfield.
1t is my opinion that the sum of
$4,000 which has been provided
for the opening up of the Lone Star
territory will fully equal in effect
iveness in developing that property,
situated as it is, the $4,000 that
was provided for the development of
