will make that city their home in the

When a business concern employs
man to supervise factory enterprise
IL seldom chooses school teacher. IL
a firstclass educational institution
wants an efficient educator or instruc-
tor 1t seldom chooses a salesman from
a shoe store, says the Goldtield III
bune. In the ordinary affairs OF lie
a blacksmith would find difficulty IN
securing employment as matchmaker
and the best rancher would be OF lit
tie service in a printing office.
But the state of Nevada, In the
supervision of it's chief educational in
stitution, has been pursuing consist
emily and persistenuy the other policy.
The state provided for board5of five
regents TO supervise and control the
university. What proportion OF them
ever had university experience OF any
kind? What proportion ever had such
university experience as would have
been, or might have been. of value TO
the state in the positions TO which
they were chosen? And let's ask
again, how many of them remained
in the position of regent long enough
to learn what either their own uni
versity or others were doing, or under
what policy they were guided?
And then, to make a bad situation
worse, The legislature, whose member
oh In In
cared even less, has found excuse
about once in two years to "investi-
gate" the university and the regents.
And so matters have gone from bad
to worse, until the climax was reached
last Saturday when the regents last
elected credited their election to the
alleged fact that the university was
an issue in the campaign, and they
were elected upon that issue. And
these very regents, at their very first
meeting. proceeded to create vacan
cy in the presidency that they might
secure a new president TO bring Tho

standards" Where will they flint

Where Is the man big enough 70
president of any university who woul
accept such position at the hand
of such a board, in the face of such
record?
The question answers itself.
And then to make matters worse

What the Market Reflects

tCnaS- A. StOnenam X CO.)
 Trend of the market over the past week reflects much for the investor to consider In the face of crisis in international affairs, an impending railroad strike, q new phase in the Wat in Europe, prices have been persist ently improving Students of market conditions report that technical condi- tions are healthy, that there is q steady absorption of stocks. and that, while the investing public is with holding purchases for the moment, there is no disposition to sell securI- ties On the other hand, it is felt that there is a huge buying power held in leash, awaiting the settlement Of the various temporary disturbing influences.
 As We see the situation there is a reflection in the market of fundamen- tai trade and business conditions. It is argued that whatever the senti- mental influence of the numerous pO- litical, diplomatic or other conditions may be, the fact remains that Ameri- can industry is keeping up the high standard of prosperity; that profits are steadily being accumulated. more especially by the metal-pr0ducing companies; that three and four times dividend requirements are being earned: that surplus cash is accumu- lating, and that there is nothing in the immediatn outlook that would tend to

Directors of the Inspiration COnsol- dated Copper Co, will meet next week for dividend action, and in some Guar- ters it is believed that an increase ir the rate from S2 to $2.50 a share quar- terly will he made at the meeting. It is figured that the current years prof it's of the InSDiration property will reach s25.000.00 equivalent to about S21 share on the 1.tS3-0C9 shares out standing. This combares with profits of about SIS per share in 1916. After the payment of s6,20070O in dividends in 1916 it is estimated that the com pany on January L 1917 had a sur plus Of about SIG 6500,000. thus indi- eating the company is well able to in crease it's dividend rate. although it is understood certain interests on the hoard favor deferring the increase un- til the June meeting By that time it is indicated that the surplus would he in excess of $24.0 0,OO0. The raising of the Inspiration dividend rate from SS to S10 annually should have strengthening influence on the market price of the security.

SOLID MINING

The interest in mining in Arizona is unabated, though there is less heard of activity in the stocks of prospects and very slightly developed proper ties than there was some months ago. The dust raised ny Los Angeles and other promoters in various parts of the state has settled and 1t is seen that a great deal of solid work is go- ing on on new properties with in- creased forces in old ones.
