Increasing Our Supply

Although it is dependent to some extent upon trade and commercial conditions and upon the character of our interna- tional and financial relations, still it is commonly believed here that the United States will be able to maintain and in- crease her as yet unmatched supply of gold. Some may be utilized each year in the normal course of trade and in settle- ment of balances.
 It is now the determination of our bank CTS and our foreign exchange masters to put stop to any exportaton of gold to nations which, because of the war, may suspend specie payment.
 Our enormous stock of gold is one of the chief reasons why we are able at this time to meet financial strain unparal- leled in it's suddenness and magnitude. With the increasing relations with South America and with the pacification of Mex ico, we are likely to gain considerable amounts of new gold. Those who should know say that when peace is restored in Mexico and investment safe, American

Gone To Her Rest.
Toll t e bell softly
A loved one is gone.

The sad news reached the city
last Friday of the death Of Miss
Myra Josephine Hubert, at
Pueblo, Col.

would be benefited.
She was the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Hubert, of this city
and is survived by three sisters,
Misses Vera, Hazel and Ethel

This frail little Jewel in life was
loved by all who knew and loved

loved by all. In her passing away
relatives and friends have lost and
to heaven is added a Jewel.

high esteem for their departed
loved one.

FOR CLOTHING
ANALYSIS, OF THE TARIFF BRINGS
COLD COMFORT TO THE
CONSUMER

A St Louis tailor has taken the
pains to analyze the tariff as II at
fects his particular business, and to
show how great reduction there
would be in the cost of a suit of
clothes under the Democratic con
tention that a lessening of duties
means a corresponding decrease in
price of necessaries of life. He
chooses as an example an ordinary
suit of wooden cloth for which he
would charge a customer $35. The
cloth would cost $3.50 per yard. and
three and third yards would be re-
auired, making the outlay for the
material $11.63 Deducting the duty
would reduce this to $3.50, saving
of 1898. On the trimmings. If i'm
ported, there would be a further saw
ing of 81 cents, making the aggre-
gate reduction in the cost of the
suit SO. And this, adds the tailor,
would be so small that 1t would
hardly be worth noting-in other
words, he would charge just about
the same for the suit as he would
have done had there been no tariff
revision. There is little doubt that
this will be the course generally
pursued and there is slight probabil
ity of tailors' bills being smaller be
cause duties have been cut. Blu

side to the matter. 1t is fact tina

RESERVE
TROUBLES TO Be
INVESTIGATED
L. a. FRIEDMAN SAYS AN EARLY
SOLUTION OF DIFFERENCES
IN SIGHT

A speedy investigation of the diff
ferences between prospectors and the
forestry service in Nevada is as
sured according to l.. A. Friedman,
president of the Seven Troughs Goa
lition Mining Company. who has just
received his notice of appointment
as special representative of the Amer
lean Mining Congress on forestry for
Nevada.
''fhe rights of prospectors and
miners on forest reserves have long
been q three-cornered source of fric-
ton between miners, the stockmen
aud forest rangers" said Mr.. Fried
man. THE miners have claimed the
right to prospect and dig holes on
the forest reserves, and to use the
waters for milling purposes. The
stockmen claim that the holes have
been menace to their sheep and
cattle, and that there has been no
right to pollute waters with mill
tailiHgs.
Heretofore the miners have had
little redress because the stock in
terests on the reserves SO far over
Swallowed their own, but the matter
has lately been taken up in the
hope that these differences could be
adjusted In this effort they have
the cooperation OF the officials OF
the forestry department,
In cases where miner has Q
grievance or is stopped in his work
we want the matter submitted to us
/ ii we can't straighten H. out W,
refer it to the head of this particu
liar department at Denver. from
whence it may in turn be taken tC

and the forestry service.
There are number of matters
requiring attention along these linei
in Nevada at present for this Gu
rious hostility of interest has en-
dured for some time. believe, how
ever, that by going slowly and usinl
a little judgment We can adjust thes
matters amicably and do much L
