GARBAGE WAGON NEEDED

In another column of this issue of
the Silver State appears a notice from
the Fire Warden, warning household
ers from throwing refuse into the
streets and alleys of the town. This
is as it should be, and in addition
there should be a means of inducing
people to clean up their lots.
During the past FIVE or six years
Winnemucca has made long strides
forward in the way of public and pri-
vate improvements, with the result
that today we have one of the best
built and handsomest towns OF it's
size in the country. But there is still
room for improvement, and one of the
most important utilities seems to have
been overlooked. That is a garbage
wagon. Every house in town should
be provided with an iron receptacle,
of uniform size, at public or private
expense, which should be emptied
daily into a wagon making the rounds.
In this manner the town can be kept
clean and sanitary at a nominal ex-
pense.

UNEXPECTED COMPLICATIONS

During the past As hours the Mexi-
can situation has rapidly changed,
with the result that today it begins to
look serious, TO say the lie st. When
the demand was made on Huerta 10
salute the American flag, it was sup
posed that that individual was the
only person we had to deal with. Late
dispatches state, however, that both
Villa and Carranza will cooperate
with Huerta in repelling foreign in
vasion.
Still, the United States can hardly
declare war against Mexico, as it has
recognized no government in that
country. Should Huerta, Villa or Car
rama, or ali three, declare war
against this country, that would be
another matter. We wouiu then be
able to give Them a trouncing.
In any event, it looks now as
though, having started in, the United
States will be compelled to establish
a government of some sort in Mexico,
in order that foreign nations may
have protection for the lives and
property Of their citizens. This would
be in keeping with the Monroe doc
trine, which prevents European pow
ers from meddling in the affairs of the
governments of the western hemis-
phere. Something after the govern
ment we established in Cuba after the
Spanish war, modified to meet exist
ably be satisfactory to the powers of
the world and to the Mexican people
themselves after it has been estab-
lished.

MINING AS A BUSINESS

A lot of goggle-eyed, narrowsmind-
cd cramped intellects of the east who
hold down jobs of financial editors
have been preaching to their consti-
tuents the necessity for avoiding min
ing investments which are denounced
al articles Of the devil promoted for
the purpose Of separating the people
from their money. AS a rule such
writers are gifted with profound
ignorance on all matters pertaining
to the greatest single industry on the
continent and the Bonanza respectful
~ suggests the propriety of these
gentlemen taking a course in mining
before they commit themselves fur
Their to their present policy. The only
excuse for launching their ~jeremiads
against mining is their leaning toward
the established plundering of Wall
street. However, attention is direct
ed to the experience of the best min
ing men in the United States, recently
emphasize by the action of Tonopah
mining companies. The success of
the Tonopah Mining company and the
Tonopah Belmont Development com.
pany nno be ~gainsayed. These
companies have paid out in dividends
SIS, 000, 900 in the course of ten years
legitimate mining and are naturally
supposed to know something of the
industry they represent. This expert
ence qualities them to speak authori-
tatively and it is pleasant to reflect
that both companies, with the consent
of their stockholders, have extended
their operations by using their sur
plus millions for the purchase of 9th
or mining properties. They are not
placing their millions in skyserapers
yielding two per cent a year, in bonds
paying three to five per cent, or in
the construction of railroads and ship
ping subject to the mutations of the
whirling dervishes of politics. No,
they are placing their funds back in
mines which they know can be made
to yield greater returns than from any
other form Of investment. They are
backed by experience. The leading
stockholders of these companies knew
little or nothing about mining when
they were induced to take ON one Ne
vada mining investment, but they
have learned the practical side of the
indutry through the distribution of
dividends and they have acquired a
of the difference between
for speculation and mining for
investment.

is the argument that appeals to these
men. They know there is no other
business that will yield such returns
and they have gone on record to per
|petuate their investment by the yur-
chase of other mining properties.
They know what they are doing and
cannot be accused of venturing into
unexplored fields, and this practical
demonstration of what has been done
is a happy forerunner of what will
certainly reward their efforts in wha.-
ever other mining field they choose
to cast their lot.-Bonanza.

tlcular difficulties encountered in the progress
OF their studies. The international Correspon-
dence Schools are faithfully, earnestly, and per-
slStently trying to convey instruction and ere
ate efficiency by every possible method, and
that they are succeeding is attested by the null
titudes of students who have risen to positions
OF power, affluence and honor as the result of
their training
One feature, not always understood by the
public, is the energetic manner in which the
Correspondence Schools enroll their students
Hundreds OF agents or representatives go into
the homes, mills, factories and shops to per-
suade men that they can be benefited by.
course OF instruction. These agents create am
b1t1on and stimulate a desire for education.
They tell men, and they prove their point bv
nnumerable examples that they can make
themselves more efficient in their present occu-
patton, or qualify themselves for other and
more congenial and more remunerative occu-
patrons, by course of study at home in their
spare time. The cost of establishing these
agencies has been very great, but the results
have amply justified the investment from every
standpoint Up to the present the International
Correspondence Schools have spent ST. .7O3. .o65
IN agency establishment More than one mil
lion dollars of capital now in the Treasury of
the Company will be used to develop still
further the facilities for offering education to
the people. Hitherto the largest part of the
work OF the l. I. 5. has been in the cities and
towns, but the rural districts of America are to
be opened immediately by establishing automo-
bile and motorcycle routes.
1t Will be seen at glance that the So, 100000
capitalization of the international Textbook
Company which operates the international
Correspondence Schools is really modest when
the cost of creating the institution, CARRYING on
the business and widening the facilities for
education, are considered. If the institution
had not been upon sound financial basis. un-
der careful and expert business management.
and furnishing bona hde education and techni
cal training, it would have broken down long
ago. Twenty-Five years of Overwhelming
business, until the Schools now have 5000 per-
sons IN their employment, are sufficient evi-
dence of the validity and permanence of the in
stitution. Since their foundation the Schools

The International Correspondence Schools
had their birth in humanitarian impulse. The
first course of instruction was in coal mining,
designed to safeguard the lives of miners by
educating mlne-formen and superintendent
That course was quickly followed by others un-
til now there are 275 courses of study.
During the past twenty y-two years no fewer
than ,o51 765 students have been enrolled in
the United States and Canada, and enrollments
are now being made at the rate of 100000
year
The preparation of the textbooks written by
the Schools for the use of students has cost
more than $2OOO,OOO These texts are pre-
pared solely for the work of instruction by cor
respondence and form the most up-to-date
library of their kind in the world. Therva
is attested by the fact that they have been pur-
chased and are being used for classroom work
or for reference purposes in 167 universities,
colleges, institutes of technology, and other
we'll known institutions of learning. The Uni
versity of California has just discarded it's text
books dealing with the strength of materials
1t has had L. 4. s. instruction papers on that
subject bound into volumes and has adopted
them for the use of its students. The United
States Navy Department is using $4,000 text
books in the new naval ship-board Schools and
this is about one-hfth of what will be required
when these schools are in full operation.
The international Correspondence Schools
are now the greatest teaching institution in the
world. They have become a powerful factor in
enhancing industrial efficiency. They have in
creased the earning power of hundreds of thou
sands of men and women, and more than ALL
they have become great social and moral in
tluence by creating ambition, stimulating hope
and preaching self-reliance to their student
body. .-.
