Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1916-09-20

is from three to five feet of good ore.
Il looks as though we had quite a
length of ore ahead OF us. On the
HOO level crosscut is being run
toward the Maggie May claim. 1t
looks very favorable. Take IL all In
all. the Rescue is today the cheapest
stock in Tonopah, in my judgment.
"At the North Star we are develop
ing good deal of ore. with. chances
for finding good body on the 1850
level At the Bonanza we are cutting
station on the 1910. AS soon as 1t is
finished we will crosscut to the south
The Afterall crosscut from the 1910
level of the Victor is making good
progress. 1t is now in over 200 feet.
The formation is very favorable.

can't help but feel that the Silver
Pick is going to make good, and
within 60 days there will be great
activity in the western portion of the
Goldfield district. The quartz vein
found in sinking the shaft is wonder
fully strong. The second drill hole
at 100 feet is all in quartz and no
shale is yet showing. proving that the
formation to the west is growing
deeper all the while. It is very
gratifying that l listened to Mr..
Dyer, the superintendent and got the
Davis-calyx drill, which is so success
fully proving up the territory"
Hughes said that if there was any
thing requiring careful inquiry it
was proposition affecting read
justment either of rates or of ex-
penses of carriers" He continued:
What is fair and right must be
done, but what is fair and right
must first be ascertained When
railroads are required to expend ad-
ditional millions, this burden must
ultimately fall on the public. If
expenses are necessarily increased
beyond what existing rates will stand,
the rates must be increased
1T was proposed in substance by
the administration that increased
rates should be charged to shippers
so far as required to pay this in
crease of wages. Assurance was
given that no obstacle of law would
be suffered to stand in the way of
railroads increasing their revenue to
meet resulting increased expenses SO
far as development of their business
and of their administrative efficiency
did not prove adequate to meet them
I'VE may pause to ask what Is ths
significance of this reference to 'ob
stacle of law The law provides fol
reasonable rates. and an appropriate
proceeding for fixing of reasonable
rates by the Interstate Commerce
commission. We're these proceedings
and the provisions of law the 'ob
stacles of law to which reference
was made? We're they to be over
come, if necessary. to accomplish the
desired end?
Increases of wages for selected
classes of men on railroads might re
suit in restrictions on great number
of other workingmen, not only those
employed by railroads. but upon those
employed in industries throughout tht
country, IL the latter be requested tc
operate under increased transporta
ton charges
Again, what becomes of present
agreements relating to the men whose
services are involved in this bill il
wages are fixed by law in this
manner?
Time was allowed to run and ther
came the surrender that shocked the
people throughout the land. Was the
crisis unforeseen? Why was it per
mitted to arise when the administra
ton Was forewarned?

1T is no answer to say that the
awards of arbitration are not always
