FACING THE FACTS

The national debt of the United States at the end of the fiscal year 1911-1912 was $1,040, 0,S4O,000, or $1O.4O for each person living in this country figuring on the basis of 1OO, ,O0O, ,00O pop ulation. The national debt of the United States on June 1, 1919, was $25, ,151,270. This simply means that every person in the United States faces national debt that averages $231.10. If conditions. that have be- come so radically changed by this so greatly increased debt are to become in any wise normal, they can come in just one way-the absorption of this bonded debt by the savings of the peo- pie.
 The answer given the Senate Con- mittee by the governor, w. P. G. Hard ing, of the Federal Reserve Board, to their query as to what legislation was needed at this time and to relieve the financial situation, was: "The Federal Reserve Board believes that any cur. rency legislation at this time is unnec. essary and undesirable and would sug. gest that whether viewed from an eco. homie or financial standpoint, the rem edy for the present situation is the same, namely: Work and save'."
 /The people have got to spend less and save more.
 The people can save. Uninvested money is dissipated too easily and is wasted too often. If the money is in the pocket, that new luxury really not needed Is usually gotten, for it is easy to convince Sone's self that it is good business to buy the thing one wants. Invested money earns interest, it is not so easily spent, and it encourages the saving of more.

JOE SPEED AND FRE|DEL
 ON HUNTING TRIP

Joe Steed and "Beston" Friedel started on a hunting trip Monday morning that will cover three or four weeks time and several states before they get back.
 At this time they are headed to- ward Colorado and yesterday "Bos- ton" wrote a wild tale back to King man about Joe and\a prairie dog which you can take for what it's worth. He says:
 T heard some one call for help. l looked and seen Joe Steed throw away his gun and run for a tree, but through his excitement he climbed a cactus. Of course when he called for help what could I do, but I started for Springerville and when I got back, we found Joe up in the second story of the cactus and a little prairie dog sitting under him (censor). I don't know what he would do if he should see a bear. Of course when he called for help I thought quick, Safety First! thought he said retreat and save yourself, so ] ran the other way, oth- erwise everything is lovely. When I sleep Joe does sentry duty and l do the same for him. I don't think I will leave Joe more than ten feet from me, course he is so fraid.

INCREASED EXPORTS HAVE
 INCREASED LIVING COSTS

That the increased, exports from this country has done much toward increasing the high cost of living, by cutting down the supply at home and making higher prices possible, is a matter that deserves consideration.
 Take for instance these figures on exports of shoes and cotton goods:
 According to the bureaus figures the total exports of cotton goods in July were valued at $17,234,0SS, as compared with $15,314,S61 in July, 1918. The value of cotton goods ex- ported during the seven months end ing with July was $14S,345,906 as compared with 95,750,599 during the same period last year and $79,9SS,596 in 1917. In other words, the export of American cotton goods during the first seven months of this year amounted in value to $52, ,595,3 ,307 more than during the corresponding period last year.
 Chairman Good of the Appropria- tions Committee explained to the House that various considerations en- ter into the high cost of living. He analysed the export trade and point ed out that whereas during the month of June 1914, we exported only a lit tie more than one million dollars worth of boots and shes, for the same month this year exports in boots and shoes amounted to $8,00O,000.
 "In June, 1914" he added, "we ex- ported $3,4OO,OOO of leather and skins, while in June of this year the amount had increased to almost $32 2,000,00O." And so on with many commodities he enumerated.

CRACKER JACK CONTINUES
TO OPEN GOOD GRADE ORE

Drifts are being driven from the
raise farthest east from the bot
tom of the Cracker Jack winze and
ore assaying from $12 to $25 con-
tinues to be exposed in the full face
of the drifts in both directions.
This work will be continued until
the vein has been explored for a
short distance at this point and then
the crosscut will be continued to
the vein, which should be reached
within 80 feet. The main north and
south drifts will be driven from the
end of the crosscut. Although it
was thought the vein had been en-
tered at five feet in the farthest
east raise the footwall actually was
found at IA feet, which will make
1t necessary to continue the cross
cut for 25 or 80 feet before the
vein is cut in it.

ment, just made by the board of
directors, that at its meeting held
on November IL a dividend of 5
cents per share on the outstanding
capital, stock of the company will
be paid on December 8. 1919. to

.s2SO,OOO RAISED BY
CACTUS NEVADA n. co.
JOSEUH r. NENZEL SECURES
MONEY IN EAST FOR FUR
THER DEvEIIOPMENT

Joseph F. Nenzel has financed the
Cactus Nevada Milling company for
$3.50, 900, according to reports re-
ceived here Saturday night from
reliable sources, and quick moves
have been made by mining men to
secure options on Inside claims in
the district, as all ground OF i'm
portance has already been located.
At the time the company was or
ganized it was stated that associated
with Nenzel were Herbert HuInph-
rey, j. H. Hunt of Reno, William
Koenig of the Humboldt baal: of
San Francisco, and ]. E. McCreary
of the First National Bank of Berke-
ley. The deal through which the
claims known as the Bailey group"
were taken over last May involved
a price rumored at the time to
have been $4,000 cash and stock
in the Cactus Nevada. One of the
men interested in the company said
shortly after it had been formed
that Nenzel's engineer had found in
the Bailey group something that
convinced him it would be worth at
least $4,000 to find what the vein
looked like at greater depth.
Bailey had reached depth of
$50 feet in opening the main vein in
Is years of work and had sunk two
shafts to 100 feet, with numerous
shallower shafts and surface
trenches. It is said the vein, 20
feet wide in places, can be traced
on the surface for a total of 5000
feet, with 1000 feet in the claims OF
the Cactus Nevada. When the
ground ras taken over it was stated
by men connected with the COM
pafiy that assays showing the aver
'age value OF the ore on the outcrop
of the vein to be $25 per ton had
been secured fof 1000 feet along
the strike. 9s
Since then the claims have been
thoroughly prospected and It is re-
ported that large tonnage of ore
averaging $25 has been developed.
The ore contains silver and gold ip
the general ratio of 10 ounces sill
yer to one of gold and the vein,
silicified rhyolite, is In a contact
between rhyolite and andesite. The
silver is in sulphide form.

the underlying deposits, have been
claimed as discoveries and even
made the basis of patent proceed
ings. In the early days the land
department did not critically ex-
anime into the matter OF discovery
unless the question were raised by
protest or contest, and large num-
bers of such claims we're patented.
This was the case at Bisbee, Ariz.,
where the ore formation occurs at
depth of 1000 feet or more. In
later years the department has es-
tablished the practice of requiring
a detailed showing as to the charac-
ter and quality of discovery claimed
and of making, through its field
service. an investigation on the
ground. AS a result, the department
has been confronted with the ques-
tion as to whether inconseqnential
mineral showings in the overburden
could be accepted as sufficient to
constitute discovery. as in the case
of the Rough Rider and other
claims which were finally patented
because it was felt that the previous
patenting of similar claims in the
vicinity had established rule of
property.
But, generally speaking, lands
of the character contemplated by the
proposed legislation cannot now be
patented under the existing mining
laws unless discoveries are made
by deep drilling or shaft sinking.
On the other hand, large areas of
such land were in the early days
patented under the non-mineral
laws. under the rule which then
prevailed that land could not be
classified as mineral In character,
or patented as mining claim. un-

TONOPAH MINING COMPANY
RESUMES ORE SHIPMENTS

Since the miners of Tonopah re-
turned to work in the early part OF
October, the bulk of the work per-
formed by the Tonopah Mining COM
pany has consisted of drawing ore
from the old sand new slopes in the
three sections of the mine. The
principal point of production in
the past months, has been the ia
nous caved stope on the Mizpah
vein, which continues to yield ore
of good mill grade in regular quanti-
ties, and under the contract with the
Belmont Development company the
ore is being sent to the latter's mill.
Lately several reports have been
received from Breckenridge, Colo
RADIO, where the Tonopah Mining
company is operating three dredges.
The latest report states that weather
conditions in Summit county, Colo,
have up to date been favorable for
continued operations, and while the
production of gold will be somewhat
less this year, as compared to pre-
vious seasons, Ii Is believed that
this is due to the fact that the
boats have during the past summer
months encountered some lean"
spots in the pay gravel.-Tonopah
