RICHES FROM NEVADA MINE
From Single Ore Shoot the National
Has Yielded Four Million Dollars
fn Four Years.

-Four million dollars in four years Is
the record which single ore shoot at
National, New, has mades The dis
trict, prior to 1908, was little known.
1t lies on the western slope of Santa
Rosa range in Humboldt county. The
mineral deposits Of this range, says
the bulletin of the United States geo.
logical survey, may be divided into
two principal classes, younger gold
notwithstanding veins that occur in
or near the tertiary volcanic rocks,
and much older OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
veins that occur in sedimentary and
associated granite rocks. In this area
the older deposits are but poorly rep-
resented and have yielded only al
small output, but one of the younger
or tertiary veins has been wonderfully
rich, yielding much ore averaging 800
a pound. During the early period of
activity few thousand tons of low
grade ore, assaying about 500 ton,
We're thrown on the dump of the Ma
tlonal mine, but the ore shipped aver
aged about $4,000 alton in gold haV-
ing a value of $1,000 an ounce the

found in one of the veins.
Native gold is found principally in
the rich shoot of the National vein,
the isolated position of which, in dis
trict Of quartz-stibnite veins poor in
gold and silver, Is remarkable. The
several veins appear to belong to the
same epoch of naturalization, the gold
shoot being a local development upon
one of the normal Etibnite veins. The
gold shoot was encountered 40 feet
below the surface and has sbeen fol-.
lowed on the dip of the vein for 800
feet, the stope length reaching ESQ
feet. The ore, which ran $40 to $50
to the pound, occurred mostly in an
irregular seam from a few inches to
a foot wide.

be made highly profitable. The man
who goes into it, however, should
make up his mind that he must be
prepared to grow good percentage
of his steers and not rely entirely
upon feeders to be picked up on the
markets.
Recently the prediction was made
that beefsteak would advance to so
cents pound and that pair Of shoes
in the fairly near future will sell for
$40. Possibly these predictions will
never be literally fulfilled, as 1t Is
certain that the amount Of beef con-
sumed will be tremendously reduced
as soon as the buying public is con-
fronted by such prices. However,
the limit of price climbing Is usually
fixed by the amount people are both
willing and able to pay and it is GER
tain that beef will be higher before t
goes lower and stays there.
There never will be much relief in
the cattle shortage until more cattle
of beef size, type and age are pro-
duced in the corn belt sections. That
time seems a good way off. Calves
are still being vealed in the dairy dis
tricts in spite of all the agitation
against it, and all over the corn belt
grain and roughage is being grown
and sold off the farms where it should
i be fed Feeding these products to
beef steers would be far better way
of marketing them than the present
system, but it takes time to convince
a region that a change Of methods
would be benefit.

WELCOME THE ISSUE
Democratic Party Confident OF
Victory on Its Record.
Economic Development of the Country
Has Been Pronounced Owing to
Wise Legislation-EederaI Re-
serve Act One Case In Point.

| Our friends the Republicans are re-
| ported to be confident Of winning the
election of 1916 on platform demand
ing that hostility to business come
to an end and that legislation tend
ing to the nations economic develop
ment be passed by congress. There
is no issue on which the election could
be fought which the Democracy will
more willingly meet.
What has the Republican party done
for the economic development of tho
country that the nation should think
of turning to 1t? If there is one thing
in which that party has shown more
abject helplessness than in framing
legislation to aid in national economic
development 1t has been in command
ing popular confidence in it's own hon.
esty and sincerity where such legis-
lation is concerned.
But one piece of economic legisla-
ton Of the past quarter century has
been hailed with approval by all sorts
and conditions of men in these United
States-radicals and conservatives,
bankers and farmers, Wall street and
the West. That is the federal reserve
act, framed by Democratic congress
and signed by Democratic president.
It put an end to 80 years Of financial
"muddling along" 80 years of statu-
tory violation of every natural law OF
finance, so years during which the
measure of our financial peril was the
extent of our economic prosperity, and
every great harvest threatened us
with stringency. The federal reserve
act has made it possible, for the first
time in our history, that we should
compete in the markets of the world
with other nations, whose manufacture
ers and merchants are greatly helped
abroad by foreign branches of domes-
tic banks. There are few current dis
cussions of plans for new business en-
terprises which do not contain fire.
quent incidental reference to the new
possibilities open before business by
reason of the passing Of this monu-
mental piece of legislation.
Is the Democracy hostile to bust
ness? If SO, what strange way Of
showing 1T, to pass law which does
more to take the shackles off Ameri-
can enterprise than all the economic
legislation of the Is preceding years
put together.-St. Louis Republic.

rather was very rich and very par
s1monious, to use a long word that
sounds better than the short one which
means the same thing, and the son al
times was chagrined because father
did not look as we'll as a man in
his station might be considered to
have the right to look. Father had re-
tired from business some years before
and folks said that under the boys
management 1t would speedily 20 to
the dogs. They declared:
The boys a tiptop fellow, and we
all like him, but he hasn't got the

the business for the old man. He
doesn't really care whether he makes
money or not. That is not the way

profits had accumulated a lot OF hab.
its that did not desert him when he re-
tired from business. Ho was sure,
OF course, while he had an income
that might have made Wall street
broker happy, that it was necessary
to care for the nickels, and he spent
as little ON raiment as decency and
the climate would permit. Chaff, adj
vice and sarcasm did not move him a
particle.
Now, the most cherished article in
his wardrobe. was certain old over
coat, which, like the bag that Henry
Ward Beecher carried with him when
he went ON his lecture tours, must
at some time have been new" The
coat now, however, was faded and
worn and far from handsome. Every
new man at the club was called into
a corner and told yarns about the
coat and its wearer. Father, for that
matter, knew all about this, but he
cared nothing for laughs and. jibes.
The son tried and tried again to
induce the old man to buy a coat.
At length he resorted to strategy
One day when the father was con-
fined to the house the son took; the
coat to tailor.
Look here, Mr.. Green" he said,
the governors got to have new
coat, and there's got to be- found a
way to make him buy 1t. think
that If he saw coat for sale that
looked like bargain he would take
it. for the sake of the bargain, If not

Get what you can out of hinn for It,
and I'll pay the difference"
In week or so there hung In the
window of Green's place a smart new
coat. It was marked:
"Bargain-$25.''
Father saw 1t. It fitted. The price
obviously made it bargain. He
took it. At the club he was given a
regular ovation. Everybody con-
graduated him. The telephone was:
