merely put of and delay the inevit- able.
 The development of Alaska win not be by leaps but will be gradual and it is also the same truth con- cerning the industrial development of 3ny country. Evolution Is q slow process. The evolution of ca pitalism is faster than that of other economic systems, but it is still cy- ceedingly slow, and as yet the evol- utlon of capitalism in Alaska is halt century behind the times visible in other sections of the world.
 The economic pressure that is felt outside is here not felt to the same urgent extreme, and it is only rational that when the workers are less subjected, in frontier commu- mites, they immediately proceed to build day dreams and to found upon such structures their political and social faith.

WALSER PREDICTS
SILVER WILL REACH 20 GENTS

I'm the central and eastern states
there is a scarcity of labor and high
or wages are being paid today than
ever before in the history of that Sec
ton of the United States" says Mark
walser, president and general man
ager of the Nevada Packard Mines
company. lie returned Monday from
an extended trip to the east, says a
Lovelock dispatch in the Reno Ga
zette.
conditions in the east are ex-
eeedingly favorable toward mining,
and persons having a meritorious
proposition have no trouble in Sc
curing financial backing" said Mr..
Walser. Il spent several days in
Denver, Chicago. Pittsburg and New
York on business with various
brokers and incidentally mining pub
fishers and curb brokers, who issue
market letters. In not one instance
did | find a pessimistic feeling to-
ward the mining industry or criti-
eism of the mining situation in Ne

preached by prominent brokers who
were seeking knowledge of some Ne
yada property and investment with
which they could become connected.
1t was remarkable.
War conditions have had the ef-
feet of making money very plentiful
in all the eastern and steel sections.
Men who want work can find it. The
highest wages ever paid in those sec
tions are being received by those
who will work.
"Silver, with which we all are so
closely identified, is universally be-
lieved due to advance to at least 10
cents an unce, with the prospect of
its going higher. This opinion is
formed by the financial writers and
bankers on the paper issues of Eu-
rope, which, they believe. must be

gross misdemeanor, the jury simply
found hin guilty of a ''class of Of
Tense" and, having so found, the
court had no jurisdiction to impose
sentence on such a verdict.
The application for a writ also
urges that the statute defending a
gross misdemeanor provides that the
sentence imposed by the court on a
verdict of gross misdemeanor. FOR
which no. other punishment shall be
provided by statute, shall be Tor
some period of time greater than
six months. where as the court in
the Booth case imposed a sentence
under the definition of a mere mis-
demeanor by confinement in the
county jail fer six months. 1t will
be eontended that the court had no
Jurisdiction under the verdict TO i'm
pose a sentence not provided by
statute.
1t will be ~contended, through illus
tration, that if the verdict in the
Booth ease is allowed to stand a de-
PENDANT may be indicted for murder
and the jury may bring in a verdict
finding him guilty of a felony, or a
class of crime not responsive to the
charge contained in the information.
It will also be urged that there is
nothing known in m or statu-
tory law as a degree of criminal IL
bel, and that no lesser offense may
be carved out of it, so that the jury
was only warranted in finding the
defendant guilty of criminal libel as
defined by the statute under which
he was informed against, therefore
being without power or authority to
find him guilty of a minor offense.
= After the trial of the case
and when the application for bail was
made and refused by Judge Walsh
six members of the jury were sworn
and testified that had they believed
a Jail sentence would have been i'm
posed they would have held out for
a verdict of not guilty. The remain
ing members of the jury were not
called as witnesses, because they re-
| sided in other parts of the county
and were not in Tonopah when the
application for bail was made.

The enthusiasm displayed by the
theater goers was duplicated n the
streets as the news seemed to reach
ALI portions of town simultaneous
". There was a feeling of almost
universal rejoicing that the editor
and of the Bonanza had
been permitted at last to give bail
pending the hearing of the writ by
the supreme court. The court was
issued at 5 p. m, the supreme court
also fixing the bail bond
When the wire was received that
the petition for the writ had been
granted, bondsmen by the score were
ready and & to go surety for Mr..
Booth. Bail was fixed at $500.
Those who qualified were John Glen

quickly completed and Mr. Booth was
enabled to pass the night again in
his home. Before leaving the Nye
county jail he thanked the sheriff's
Office for the many courtesies extend

is based on numerous legal grounds.
Counsel for Booth contended that
the verdict finding him guilty of
a gross misdemeanor is not respon-

should either have been guilty or
not guilty. 1t will be contended that
