JOURNALISTIC FLY-BY-NIGHTS
GETTING ACTIVE AGAIN

During every political season the
same old games are started to fool
the people and graft off the candi
dates. Another one of these is now
coming to the light in the announce
ment of the new weekly papers that
are to be started in various sections.
They are not under the head of legiti-
mate enterprises. They are simply
fly-by-nighters and the same minute
that the last vote is east they drop
into Oblivion. Their only purpose is
to get what easy money they can as
fast as they can.
And yet the legitimate newspaper
is expected to contend with them. The
paper that is with YOU day in and day
out, fair weather and bad weather, is
expected to come out into the field
and divide the business with these
carpet bagging enterprises.
1t will be good idea if the eandi-
dates use their Judgment and diserim-
mate ir favor of the legitimate enter
prises.-Sparks Tribune.

BEST KLEINE PRO
DUCTION TUESDAY

Mr.. George Kleine's production of
the Cines photo-drama "Quo Vadis''
was awe inspiring and revelations;
his Ambarosio spectacle of FThe Last
Days of Pompeii' thing of ex-
quisite beauty; but his latest produc-
ton, the Cines version of "Antony
and Cleopatra is sublime. It is in
comparable. Nothing like it has yet
been revealed to the eager millions of
picture lovers. 1t unites all the
glorious, spectacle of "Quo Vadis,"
all the beauty of "Pompeii, - with
story of such tremendous. human in
terest and power, it is a marvel that
it could ever have been recorded in
modern photography.
The whole world could be searched
and it is doubtful if another Antony
could be found such at Novelli pre-
sents, or such voluptuous, overpow-
ering Cleopatra as is seen inGiovanna
Teribili Gonzales conception. So
magnificent and realistic is their act
ing it is hard te maintain the illusion
of the camera. The spectators sit awed
and spellbound, almost convinced of
the omnipresent reality of the story.
And not alone is this true of Novelli
and Gonzales, but also of all the 9TH
er members of this remarkable cast.
Whatever their school or their source
of development, this performance of
F" Antony and Cleopatra must con-
vince the world that the productions
of the Cocieto Italiano Cines are the
ture embodiment of art. Photo
dramas may come and go butss Antony
and Cleopatra will live forever.
The first glimpses afforded this city
occur next Tuesday evening at the
Nixon opera house. Admission, adults
30 cents, children 25 cents.

EFFECE OF CoNDI-
TIONS IN MEXICO

One marked result of conditions
which have for so long prevailed in
Mexico is the paralysis of mining ope-
rations in that country, and, judging
the future by the past, it will be a
long time before activities there will
reach even normal while it may be
years before confidence will be so
fully restored that capital will seek
investment there upon a scale chron-
ieled before the various and sundry
revolutions were begun that have
practically destroyed every industry
of our southern neighbor.
1t is very evident, therefore, that
from now on the class of investors
who have been allured to Mexico be-
cause of many mining opportunities
existing there, will seek other fields,
and it is quite natural to believe that
western mining camps and districts
will greatly benefit thereby.
AS matter of fact, it is surpris-
ing that men and means would seek
mining investments in foreign coun-
try, where so many obstacles have to
be overcome, and where so much hos
tility exists, when so manv golden OPP
portunities abound in the United
states.
1t is true that the belief prevails
IN certain circles that the big things
of the west, from a mining stand
point, have all been acquired and that
but little remains to tempt the invest
ment of goodly sums of money This
is not the case, however, and careful
investigation would bring to light
many properties which, undoubtedly,
could be transformed into producing
and paying mines at an outlay much
less than would be required in the de
velopment and equipment of a Mexi.
can mine. Indeed, there is hardly
district in the west but that possesses
from one to a dozen prospects and
mines that would respond most salts
factarily to intelligent operation.
The elimination of Mexican mining,
for the time being, at least, is almost
certain to have a beneficial effect up
on the mining industry of this coun-
try.-Mining Review.

WORKMAN D|SCOY.
fRS new DISTRICT

Jesse l.. Workman returned today
from successful prospecting trip in
northern Elk county. The father and
finder of National was in good
frame of mind and enthusiastic when
seen. To use hisl own language he has
found another high grade district of
larger proportions than the National
section, and in outcrop as strong as
Virginia CITY on the Comstock lode.
The new find is about go miles
north of Tusearora, verging on Owy-
hee desert. 1t is in the heart of a
'od mineral area and is surrounded
by evidence of mining success, as
Delamar, Idaho, Jarbidge, Mountain
City, Tuscarora, Gold Circle and Ma
tional. The find is on the range of
mountains making the divide of the
Owyhee and Humboldt river declines
Workman shows some fine speci.
mems of ruby silver ore and pro-
nounces the new discovery one of the
strongest and largest showing he
ever saw. He declares the new find
W 70 " SiNob RdHhS Uls
judgment that the district will be
come one of Nevada s staple mining
sections.
BY studying the structure of the
country from the summit of a high
mountain one day and sketching it.
Workman determined the mineralized
lines and the following day made his
location. The mineralized zone is
hundreds of feet wide where found
and shows different periods of crush
ing and refllings and the permeating
of same with mineral bearing solu-
tions.
While at work near Tuscarora on
the 10Th instant, during a thunder
storm, Mr.. Workman was stunned by
lightning He does not know how
long he remained unconscious, but
thinks not more than an hour. When
he came to he found his canteen lying
at a distance of about 30 feet from
where he was knocked down and his
pick some fifteen feet from the spot.
Aside from a confusion on the fore
head, where it struck the ground, he
feels no bad results from the shock.

REASON FACTORIES
ARE CLOSING DOWN

The startling effects and disastrous
results which have followed the en-
actment of the Democratic tariff law
were disclosed in the senate Thursday
by figures from the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, quoted by
Senator Smoot. He said:
fThe tariff law has been in force
some six months, and it can now be
judged what its future effect on our
commerce will be. / believe it is time
to call attention to one of the great
reasons of the unsettled state of bust
ness in this country.
"The exports for April aggregate
1852 100000, as compared with $780,
100000 for the corresponding month
Of last year. This is loss in exports
of $37 100000 in single month.
"The imports in April of this year
were s172,000,00, as compared with
s146,000,000 in April last year. or a
gain in imports for the month of $26,-
100000.
Together the exports and imports
show total loss in money to the
comerce of the United States of $63,-
100000 in one month, or at the rate
of $756,000,000 annually.
"This, Mr.. President, is the prom
ised expansion of trade But it must
be remembered we are just beginning
to experience the real effect of the
Democratic law. The imports in April
exceeded the exports by $4,000, 900
elf the manufactured goods only
required 50 per cent of their value
in labor, there was a loss to the Ia
boring men of this country of over
$13,000,000 from increased importa-
tions alone.
"The total average increase in i'm
ports of goods ready for consumption
during March of this year over March
of last year is 71.9 per cent.
"Then people wonder why so many
OF our mills are closed, and are ask
ing why so many of our laboring men
rae out of employment.
"'These figures tell the story. In
stead of our laboring men making our
goods, they are made by foreigners
and shipped into this country

HAYSTACK SHOULD
PAY DIVIDENDS

l.. G. Campbell, viee-president of the
National Mines and one of Nevada s
keen mining attorneys, which essen
tally makes him student of geolo-
gy and mineralogy, visited Haystack
during the week, accompanied by an
other notable mining figure of Neva-
da, so far as successful mining is
known, r. s. Bolam, and both have a
favorable opinion of the new district.
Attorney Campbell, when seen by a
Silver State representative, had this
TO say: "The district has most fav-
orable prospect features. In fact, ore
is in evidence and conditions present
are such that no one can condemn the
district In other words, with the
amount of work so far performed the
merit of the district is one of proof
hence, to use a lawyers language the
man who cannot see any good there
must wait for the disproof for his
pessimism. OF course, when depth is
attained and values maintain their
Importance, then it is time to suggest
it is a permanent district where mines
are made and fortunes as conse-
quenee taken from Haystack. Until
such further demonstration, the dis
triet is but a favorable prospect, jus
tifying legitimate development.
Bolam concurred with the forego-
ing, but added: "The district, to the
shallow depth attained, surely shows
much quartz carrying fine values in
gold. This quartz is in fine assures
seams and literally distributed over
the district. The latest section open
ing up with very fine promise is on the
Truitt- Butler ground. Here they Ger.
tainly are getting some very rich
float and in trenching for it have
opened a 3-foot vein which assays
sl4 to $35 per ton. The richer float
found evidently came from another
parallel vein. 1t is in large chunks
and shows that the pay streak is not
ore shoot of rich value within a ifs.
sure line independent of any vein.
SO far determined, as a whole the
district is of most favorable aspect
and has a basis out of which produe-
ing mines are made
s. +. Montgomery, the surveyor
and mining engineer, likewise return
ed from Haystack last evening. He
put in half of the week in surveying
and looking at prospects and show
isgs. He, too,as an experienced mining
man, says: "The district has good
showings with the incentive to do
minerlike work to prove its further
worth. 1t is rarely that a man goes
into a new district and finds so much
rich foat and so many sources from
which quartz carrying good gold
values is taken. In minisg sense
the Truitt section shows up high
class. Here the finest goldbearing
vein in the camp, so rar, is being de-
termined. 1t is sort of bull move
ment for the district and taken i'm
conjunction with the earlier strike,
from which the present shipment of
ore is taken, means rising market
for the Haystack gold mining oppor
tunities. The district is only in
formulative state, but there has been
enough shown to Justify real down
right development work, which from
present indications will probably
place Haystack gold camp in the div
idend paying class"
