HOME OF UNTOLD WEALTH.
Fabulous Fortunes Are Found in the
Mountains of South America.

Fifteen million ounces of silver Is
one of South Americas annual con-
tributions to the worlds pocketboOk.
This would make more than II 900, 900
silver dollars.
Silver to the amount of more than
81, 000, 100000 has been mined in the
asst 300 years from Potosi, the fam
GUS peak of silver in Bolivia.
The hills of South America are
scanned with gold. 1t is found in
every state.
All this gold and silver could be
studded with precious stones from
Colombia. Seven hundred thousand
karats of them are dug out of her
Hills annually. Almost all the emer-
q lids in the world come from there.
Our famous copper mines in Michi-
lgan, Montana and Arizona are sur
passed in richness by those on the
west coast of South America.
Enough silver is mined with the
copper Of one Peruvian mine to pay all
the expenses of the mining, of ship
|ping the ores over the mountains and
Iup to North American smelters. 1t
also pays the cost Of smelling.
The Bethlehem steel works in
Pennsylvania could be kept busy for
us years with the iron ore of one of
Chile's provinces, CoquimbO.
More tin is mined in Bolivia than
anywhere else in the world except
the Federated Malay states and only
a few of the mines have yet been
lopened. -
Although South America imports
most of her coal, there is enough
tucked away in her mountains to sup
jply the needs of both Americas for
ages to come. But there are no rail-
ways to bring it out.
Chile's nitrates fertilize the fields of
the world and bring her an annual
revenue in export duties of more than
$4,000. 900. The value of the depos-
its must be reckoned in ten figures.

MOVING A MILLION IN GOLD.

1t requires but a few moments on

with the tremendous possibilities of
the commercial car and also that it is
rapidly coming into it's own.

transportation, and after looking over
the field it was decided to make the

NITRATE AND WAR.
Importance Of the Chilean Fields to
England and Allies. @a

In an area of $50 miles of arid bar
ter of the great war If an unfriendls
power had held control of this desert
tract, the war would have ended long
ago with the crushing of the entente
allies. 1t is the Chilean famous nj
trate region.
William Howard Russell, a famous
English war correspondent, wrote at
long ago as 1899: without British
control of the sodium nitrates of Chile
the map of the world would be very
different today"
Germany now does not need to de-
pend upon the Chilean nitrate depos-
its. for the German chemists are ma
king synthetic nitrogen. However
for six months before the outbreak OF
the war in 1914 Germany had been
receiving enormous shipments of So
dunn nitrate from Chile. 1t is estim-
ated, in fact, that Germany had on
hand 100000 tons of nitrate in Aug
ust. 1914
Some engineers say there is enough
nitrate in the Chilean desert to supply
the world for 200 years. There are
about $4,000 Chileans employed in the
industry. Nothing grows in the region
about. the nitrate deposits; it is a
dead land. To all appearances the
Chilean nitrate towns are like the old
time western American mining camps
great deal of liquor is consumed in
the district. and consequently there is
considerable lawlessness,
North and Harvey, two British ad-
venturers, originally owned the nitrate
but now the Chilean gov
eminent controls most of the valuable
tract. Chile fought war with Peru
for the northernmost part of the nj
trate beds and won. The British,
through their financial strength, exer-
else the greatest control of any for
eign power over the fields, though
three German brokerage houses were
zig producers before the war

George Wingfield, of Nevada-.Personal
Sketch of Typical Westerner
&c. F. O'Day in San Francisco Town Talk

the succeeding half dozen years.
Nobody packed gun when first
went into Nevada says Wingfield.
The people there were orderly and
peaceable. But the lure of gold
brought an undesirable element and
we had to arm to protect ourselves
against Them"
| Wingtield's reference is TO be under
stood as applying to the trouble which
came to Nevada with the l. w. w.
This lawless organization made COM
mon cause with the Western Fedora
ton of Miners and the result was that
outbreak of violence which began
when high grading operations were
resisted There We're retalatory
strikes with the usual accompaniment
OF bloodshed. Threats were freely
made against Wingfelds life, but he
went his way with cool indifference
and the trouble makers never dared TO
lassall him. There is a story that one
day when the lawless element was
gathered in the streets of Goldtield,
bent on trouble and swearing that
they'd get" Wingfeld, he walked
through their midst, silently defying
them. | asked Wingfield about that
story and he laughed.
IF ! walked through them,' he
get away from them"
Wingfield's activities were not con-
fined to mining. He engaged i'm the
banking business and in real estate
operations, his partner in these as in
bis mining ventures being the late
United States Senator Nixon. Later
this partnership was amcably dissolv-
ed, and when Senator Nixon died,
Governor Tasker eddie of Nevada Of
fered Wingfeld the vacant seat.
Wingfield appreciated the honor but
refused to accept it. l asked him why
he had done this.
Because | didn't care to become, a
target for everybody to shoot at" he
answered. II have seen enough OF
politics to know that there are more
drawbacks than attractions to public
life"
Wingfield tells me that Nevada is
enjoying a stable prosperity.
1T is true" he said, that the pur-
chasing power of gold has gone off
IN account of the increase in the cost
of mining materials. But the demand
for base metals caused by the war
has opened up some of the old min
ing camps Camps like Hawthorne,
Luning, Candelaria and Ely are en-
joylng new prosperity. Agriculture
is advancing in those sections where
water Is to be had Reno is prosper
ous. The divorce colony alone means
a million dollars year to Reno. Yes,
Nevada is prosperous, and that is
good thing for San Francisco. for Ne
vadans come to San Francisco to en-
JOY themselves. | suppose Nevada
does more for hotels like the ST
Francis and the Palace than any 9TH
er state in the country. Nevadans
like San Francisco. There is here the
Kind of life they want to see when
they go on pleasure trip. They do
not go to Los Angeles"
Would they come here if San
Francisco was shut up Tight"
Certainly not" replied Wingfeld

Potato Is Humble No More.

The heretofore humble potato now
occupies a prominence in the general
scheme of human existence heretofore
undreamed of. The annual require
ments of the United States are $780,
900, 900 bushels of potatoes, The pro-
duction in 1915 was 359,000.000 BUSH
els, but last year production dropped
to S5,437 900 bushels. The food man
ipulators, and farmers, may have as
sisted in putting the high prices on
the tubers. but they had something to
go on, namely, a shortage Of the crop
to the extent of 64,563,O0O bushels. II
is believed that there will be sufficient
supply of seed at around $3.50 pei
bushel before planting time.

TYPHOID FEVER.
Its Causes and How 1t May Be Ef.

IeCtuaHy PREVENTED.
According to recent bulletin from
the United States public health ser
vice, typhoid fever is found only in
man. 1t is caused by a short rod
shaped microscopic vegetable, which
enters the body through the mouth
and leaves it in human discharges to
enter fluids and food 1t Is essen
TALLY disease of young adult life.
Older people are less apt to have it
probably because they have suffered
from an attack of the disease in their
youth.
Typhoid fever is known by various
names, "slow fever" low fever" but
whatever name it is called by it Kills
about per cent of those whom it at
tacks. A certain percentage of those
who recover become carriers, that is,
persons who though well excrete the
organisms of the disease in their dis
charges. Carriers are largely respon
sible for the perpetuation of typhoid
fever, but the installation of proper
sewer systems which not only take
away noxious wastes but also DO not
deposit them in some one else's water
supply, the abolition of flies, cock
reaches and other filth insects, the
maintenance of "a pure food supply,
and the intelligent care of the typhoid
patient, these are the measures which
will rid us from this disease. Uptil
very recently typhoid has been the
scOurge of armies but now the anti
typhoid incubation has reduced this
danger to a minimum

IDAHO AUTOMOBILE TAX
s250,0OO THIS YEAR
HIGHEST LICENSE OF ANY STATE
MAY ISSUE $1,000
LICENSES.

Idaho will collect $250,000 or more
from owners of and dealers in auto
mobiles and motorcycles in 1917 ac-
cording To the estimate made by Geo
l.. West, corporation clerk in the sec
rotary of states office The bill en-
acted by the legislature, providing for
the collection of licenses on basis Of
weight of cars rather than by horse
power, is expected to increase the
revenue derived by the state from
ernor.
Thirteen thousand automobiles were
registered with the secretary of state's
Office in 1916. License plates have
been provided for $4,000 this year, and
West thinks that at least 1900 plates
will he necessary.
Slow in Paying.
Automobile owners have been slow
in paying their licenses thus far this
ear, and as Il result they are going to
have to put up more money for their
plates when the new law becomes eff
fective shortly TO date only 5000 H.
censes have been taken out since
January l this year, leaving 10000 IL
censes yet to be paid.
Under the law all license fees be-
come due the first of the year. Fall-
ure to pay promptly causes the cars
to become liable to seizure and sale,
but inasmuch as the county assessors,
with whom the state cooperates in
collecting its licenses, are generally
Ienient, cars are seldom seized.
In 1916 the state collected $2l3,75S
in licenses, registration fees, etc, from
the cars of the state, ana $3735 from
the 754 motorcycles in Idaho. The
number of automobiles operated in the
state increased 100 per cent last year
over 1915, West does not expect any
such increase this year, but he believes
there are at least 1000 more cars be-
ing operated in the state than in 1916.
Highest of All States.
+ Idaho has the highest license on
ears of any state. Under the present
laws plates for cars up to 80 horse
$40; on cars from 40 to
so horsepower, $25 over so horsepoW-
er, $40. -
But despite the high license, the
tax on all ears averages only $3.50.
That is because in Idaho the small
machine reigns supreme, West esti-
mating. that more than 50 per cent of
the automobiles are of one make.
However, despite the apparent high
license, Idaho is one of the five states
which does not collect personal tax
on machines, the license fee being. ac-
cepted in lieu of all other taxes. That
law has permitted dealers to escape
in the past, and does yet, but under
the new law dealers will have to take
out license for each town in which
they do business. Last year only 284
dealers took out licenses. There are
many more dealers than that in the
state, and in the future they will be
forced to purchase license for every
agency operated. The licenses cost
$35 each.
OF all the moneys collected from
cars, the state receives rs per cent, the
other three-quarters going to the
counties in which the cars are regis
tered, but all is spent on the building
and upkeep of highways. In 1916 the
state got 53,43950 as it's share Of
the automobile tax. This year 1t
should be considerable more, West
thinks
