In the remarks that he made the

Mr. Newlands uncovered the gcason
for SO much Republican bombast anent
the subject of preparedness and also
of the Mexican trouble
The Senator stated that the methods
that were being employed by the op-
position were simply In an endeayor
TO embarass the administration. He
called attention to the fact that the
same tactics were employed by the
Democrats when they were I'm the
minority Just prior to the Spanish.
american war That IL was simply a
piece OF political strntesy, but that IN
this day and date the evidence of the
fact was toe, 'palpable.
"A significant feature OF the seha-

Mckinley was not in favor OF the

believed he could secure the freedom
OF the cubans by peaceful methods

MlNING OUTLOOK
IN NEVADA

The mining outlook for the year is
brilliant with promise. Metal prices
are at record height and seem assured
of further advances. Even at prices
lower than those now prevailing the
greatest prosperity would be assured
the mining industry. There can be no
abatement in the quest for gold. says
the Goidfield Tribune. The yellow
metal will continue to command. first
place, III and out OF season. in the
interest of prospectors and mine op-
orators alike. Prospecting, while it
differs in method from early day prac.
tice. is becoming more scientific, more
intensive and better calculated TO
achieve results. Gold mines and pros
poets are destined to be given greater
attention than ever by capital, and
with the abatement of hysteria over
so-called war specialties, the attention
of investors will again be directed to
the standard metal mines of Nevada.
Oil flotation is bringing about reyo-
luton in metallurgy and will make
possible the working of low-grade
mines that have heretofore been idle.
The outlook for the year presages a
record increase in gold production.
Silver mines must necessarily profit
from the higher price of the white
metal. There can be no fear OF. q
decline in silver to an unprofitable
point. Many new silver-mining dis.
tricts are coming ito the front. while
abandoned silver mines are being
worked profitably. Tonopah, Roches
ter, Seven Troughs and dozen other
districts will establish new records
during the present year,-Tonopah

EUREKA RAILROAD
FEARS WASHOUT

Manager Sexton of the Eureka-Ne-
vada railway calls the attention of the
people OF Eureka and vicinity to the
fact that the present fall of snow along
the line of the road from Garden Pass
summit through Pine valley and into
Palisade Is the heaviest since the
washout of the roau IN 1910 Like
conditions are now presented. During
the early winter when IL was showing
at this end Of the line IL was raining
in Penn valley ands saturated the
ground with water. The recent cold
snap sent the frost down several in
ches and left the surface solid mass
that will carry flood waters. and
should a warm rain or continued thaw-
ing weather prevail for any length of
time, 1t would necessarily follow that
portions OF the roadbed in the Mar
rows and through Palisade canyon
would be again washed out and the
railway be put out of commission.
In view OF this situation, 1t behooves
all who are in need of supplies OF
contemplate ordering material of any
kind to place their orders at once, and
get them in before the warmer wea.
