Working Lou Grade Ores

Reno Gazette: Speaking OF the shipment OF a carload
OF ore from a nearby mine to the sampler at Hazen, the
Winnemucca Silver State quotes Lee Case as saying that
most of the ore is subject to cyanide teatment and that by
this process $40 rock can be handled at a profit. 1t is this
sort OF rock that is going to make the fortunes OF Nevada
ten, twenty, fifty or a hundred years hence, even II the
bonanzas are not all worked out by that time, and it is a
good plan to begin operations on them now. Low grade
properties will make permanent camps.
Tere is no ocean at Our doors and it is not possible for
Nevada to get its costs down 70 the figures for which the
Treadwell mine of Alaska is famous, but metallurgy and
engineering are accomplishing wonders. At the Pioneer
mine. south OF Goldfield, for example, gravity has been
utilized so as to cut down the cost to less than S. a ton, 1t
is stated, and there is required only the most superficial &c
Guaintance with mining to be aware OF the immense SUMS
that could have been saved at Virginia City had metallurgi-
cal experts known as much as they know now. Many
properties can be worked at a profit at this time that, even
ten years ago, were impossible.
A metallurgical study is being made Of Austin prop
critics, the Reveille says, and papers from other parts OF
Nevada also by occasional items show that the mining
men of the state are awake to the possibilities. Cheaper
methods Of operation and extraction being sought for
and they will be found, just as they have been discovered
for other states.

Press Is Wide Awake

Reno Gazette: If it were possible to have the gen
eral public read all the newspapers in Nevada, the unselt1sh
labors of the publishers in the work of building up this
state would be better understood. There are no knockers
among the state journals. They are out for Nevada, first,
last and all the time. The advantages of their home com
munities are placed before the people at every opportuni-
ty, and, as Nevada long ago recognized the necessity OF
accuracy, the statements made by the papers are trust
worthy. In mining, in agriculture, in stock-raislng and
in manufactures, the rule that has been followed has been
"the truth is enough.
Not only editorially, but in their local columns, too,
the newspapers of the state do much good. Such items,
for instance, as this from the Virginia Chronicle of yeser-
dav. have a cheerful tone and mean much: The lin
kead mine is now running three shifts a day on ore from
Ophir central tunnel, and the daily tonnage is being in
creased as the development work continues This from
the Eureka Sentinel tells of good business: The Jennie
A. mine at Hamilton shipped a car load of ore to the Salt
Lake smelter by today's train
From the Silver State at Winnemucca one learns that
shearing is now in full swing in that section and that the
Western Pacific is putting its track across Nevada in con
dition for its train de luxe, the Scenic Limited.' The
White Pine News announces that the Ruth mine, which
has lain dormant since the panic of 1907, is about to resume
operations at Ely. And SO it goes. Throughout the
state the newspapers are publishing news items that prove
Nevada is all right.

Congress and the West

No large sized tears rolled down the vests cheeks
when the s~iXty-third congress went out of existence, says
the Sunset Magazine. True, this congress opened up
Alaskas resources by lease and railroad, but the key was
not of congressional make. Franklin X. Lane filed, in
serted and turned it. True it is that congress provided
for free passage of coastwise vessels through the canal
but the president nullified this action by his veto. And in
the process Of revising the tariff the western lumber indus
try, the fruit growers, the beet sugar men and others were
given scant consideration.
While no one was watching its itching fingers the
s%ixty-third congress grabbed into the reclamation fund and
chucked it bodily into the pork barrel; hereafter the appro-
priations for a federal irrigation project will depend less
upon the judgment of engineers than upon the needs OF
politicians. The initiation of new projects will bear close
watching in the future.
Neither did the bill for the regulation of water-power
development on public land escape the senatorial reef
Though the bill gives the Water-poWer interests important
adv. rtaees over present conditions, substituting a definite
fifty-year lease for the present indefinite revocable permit
the owners of power sites made a determined fight against
the meacure in the hope of obtaining further concessions
a fight which will be renewed next winter. The passage
of this act is highly desirable to clarity the situation, but
it is not of vital importance to the west at present. Almost
every western state has a surplus of hydro-electric power
for which there is no market, and no harm will be done if
new construction ceases until the growing market has alb
sorbed a goOdly share of the excess power.

Western Unions Report

The Western Union Telegraph company has just is
sued it's annual report for the year 1914. While there is
nothing startling in it from a financial standpoint, there is
rather a plaintive note concerning the multifariOus reports
the company is compelled by law to issue annually. The
Western Union company, the report says, is now subject
to the authority of f%orty-three public service commissions
and twenty-three workmens compensation or industrial
commissions. Besides voluminous reports to these com
missions, the company has also to prepare 800 annual
reports to tax authorities, these reports being further sub
divided by taxing districts. In all, there are required not
less than 1900 statements to the public authorities. In
addition the company has now to collect and remit month
ly to the government the internal revenue tax recently lev
led upon commercial telegraph messages.
The company also conducts a large national and in
ternational telegraph and cable business, made up of a vast
multitude of small items, the operating revenues being de-
rived not only from various classes of message services,
but also from commercial news stock quotations., money
order transfers, etc, in addition to which the company has
operating contracts with 600 railroad systems, which in
clude many subsidiary railroad lines, Of an interstate and
interstate character. 1t would seem, therefore, to
be in the public interest that a company doing a national
business, like the Western Union, should be relieved of
by state legislatures and commissions so far
as regards the regulation of rates and the preparation of
accounting statements, and should report, in these re-
spects, to the federal commission alone. AT least that is
what the company thinks.

Competitive Athletics

On various occasions the Journal of the American
Medical Association has entered a protest against what it
termed the widespread tendency in the United States to-
ward the extension of competitive athletics in schools.
These contentious are shared by European authori-
ties to whom the question of permitting students of vari-
Gus ages to engage in competitive sports has been submit
ted by the Prussian government. In order to discover I'M
developed athletic talent among the students of the
high schools and universities of the German empire, in an
ticipation of their being trained for the projected Olympic
games, competitive games were proposed under the aus
pices of athletic associations in many places. The partici-
pants were to be students without previous athletic train
inc. The events were to include swimming matches, run
ming and jumping contests, and numerous other exercises.
Although it was assumed that such contests would in
crease appreciation of the importance of physical exercise,
the intent of the plan was to discover promising candi-
dates.
The plan was submitted to the Psychologist Rubner
and the clinician Kraus, professors in the University of
Berlin. In their report they contend that any system of
athletics which finds its best expression in competition,
and has as its chief end the development of athletic SUI
premacy, fails to meet the real hygienic needs of youth and
to serve for the proper perfection of the body. The eX-
cesses and the evils of athletics which have grown up in
England and America, where this form of sport has receiv-
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1915-04-10

ed its greatest impetus, are brought home to the German
committee. They are reminded that here the organization
of competitive athletics is attended with an undue sacri-
flee of time at the expense of the intellectual pursuits.
The contests degenerate into a public entertainment with
all the drawbacks of the arena. The development of the
body is carried out along lines of extreme specialization.
The conclusions of Rubner and kraus are not only to
be endorsed, but deserve widespread publication as sane
judgments of competent observers. Exercise is intended
to benefit, not to injure the individual. Let no one con-
strue such checks on competitive games as a movement
against physical training and gymnastics. The latter
should receive every encouragement that a rational system
deserves; but the propaganda for a recognition of the value
of bodily exercise carried out in any suitable form must
be based on a system of health -promoting practices. Com
petition belongs to the specialist, who must insure himself
against the consequences. He should not be allowed to
set the standard for athletic sports.

Alas For Chemical Purity!

Oakland Tribune: What is the matter with Los An
geles? Every now and then in some well-known citizen
it suffers a lamentable fall from grace with a piece of torn
petticoat as evidence in the hand. This time it is the
chief of police himself. The chief, it is charged, having
drank too much soda water, did rather more than dream of
chicken. He led them into ways where chickens are not
apt to get back home, where giblets are devoured and more
giblets demanded.
OF course, no chief of police was ever guilty, and we
have no doubt that in this instance perfect innocence will
be proven. Nevertheless we are very surprised at Los
Angeles. Are its sunsets too crimson, it's females too
charming, or is too much of the middle west quite too
much? Recalling a certain satire in the Smart Set maya
zine, in which the city of Los Angeles was pronounced
Technically pure" we felt at that time that there was a
mote in the writer's eye, and we think that a cataract has
been well proven since. Los Angeles is not chemically
pure, but it has formed an extremely careful habit of pull
ing its portieres.

Dividends Paid In March

From reports made to Mining and Engineering World
it is apparent that better times are in store for holders of
stock in American mines and works. A careful compila-
ton from these reports shows that seventy companies paid
dividends during the first quarter of the present year
amounting to $IS,2o2,032. This is indeed a remarkable
achievement when it is considered what the industry has
no similar period in the history of the industry has it
undergone so many adversities. What with strikes, with
war, with low metal prices, etc, it has surely been a time
of trouble for the mine operator.
In summarizino the dividends paid during the first
quarter of the year we find that the seventy companies
paving dividends in this period have total declarations to
their credit of $SI ,oS3,42o. This was made on an issued
capitalization of $63S,427, 10Y. or $751;, 656,3I3 in excess of
outstanding capital.
Sixteen copper companies contributed to the quarters
total S~5,6S6,47S and since incorporation S306,o6373I.
