critics. They are well supplied with
one No publicity has been given
their efforts and they do not care to
have anything said of their opera
lions.
"The people who have taken the
leadership are men identified with
the largest banks, investment houses
and industrial companies in the Uni
ted States. They are firm In the be-
lief that the Excess Profit Tax will be
removed from silver mining, and that
suitable constructive legislation will
be passed by Congress. giving proper
recognition to the industry as being
essential to the prosperity of the
country and placing it in equitable
relation to the Government.
"They believe that when the facts
become known, public sentiment will
compel such legislation. Then cap
ital in such abundance will invest In
silver mining as to put 1t where 1t
belongs and we will then see the
greatest silver boom known In his
tory and it will continue for many
years.
1.-The value of silver is certain to
be fixed by international agreement
and this country will dictate that
value. The recent action Of the GOV
eminent of India has paved the way
for this by going on a gold basis and
fixing the value of silver in relation
to gold at $1.29. This means thai
s1.29 will hereafter be the minimum
price of silver.
There is insufficient gold to sus-
tain the worlds financial credit sys-
tenn. 1t must have the help of silver
or fall. To obtain the necessary
amount of silver to avert such a ca
lamity every mine in the country
must be worked and every promising
prospect developed.
"Great fortunes will be made out
| of silver mining. 1t will require con
| siderable time to open new districts
| and provide the producing and nee
| essary transportation facilities. Pend
:, ing hat time it is to the old dis
tricts that we must look for increased
production. In many OF them tn
very important new discoveries VII
be made. Some have already beeI
made. 1t will be such districts
that will start the real silver boom
and 1t is to them that the investing
public should look for opportunities
for making large profits with themin
imum chances of loss.
II regard well selected silvers a
being the best speculative investmen
that can be made. The demand Is 81
far in excess of the supply and its In
creased production is so vitality nee
essary for the financial and economi
reimbursement of the world hat silve
mining must attain an importanc
unprecedented in history"

MOUNTAIN LION SHOWS
NO FEAR OF INTRUDER

Being awakened from peaceiui
s,umber did not at all excite q large
mountain lion recently encountered
Nv h Paroni in the hills south Oh
Eureka.
Mr.. Paroni, wishing to make q
shortcut to some ground he wanted
to- see. climbed the tall BLUM to the
north OF the Geddes & Bertrand mine
Mt Secret Canyon, and was making
his way over II when he came to Q
snot with a southern exposure and
warmed brightly by the sun. JUST as
he entered this sunlit spot. he saw at
his feet the sleeping form OF the huge
animal. At this moment the lion
awoke to consciousness OF the In
truder. but did not show any excite
ment whatever. He simply arose
and crept away, giving a low grun'
of resentment as he passed by Mr
Paroni.
Mr.. Paroni. having no weapon
other than a light stick, did not mo
lest the creature, but stood on the
bluff and watched the lion move with
out haste toward the south. For hal
a mile. and until 1t passed out o.
sight. the big fellow did not ever
look back or show any great speed In
leaving the vicinity.
The tracks of the animal in thu
epow uara larpar than the imnrfn
of a mans hand, Mr.. Paroni said.

SCISSORS SLIPPED
ON PARTISAN GOWNS

Madame Frances. n Of Americas
foremost modistes, upon her arrival
In New York on the steamship Adrt-
attic recently. had the following to
say about the fashionsi Paris: They
have done nothing but apply the sells
sors to the old styles. The afternoon
gown or street dress has a low neck,
sleeves midway between the elbow
and the shoulder. and is short at the
bottom. The skirt is just a trihe
fuller. There is no waistline. But
the evening gown! With this think
the scissors slipped. It's just a huge
W on four sides. From the shoulder
pit to the waistline and in both front
and back-ail is open. The front Is
frightfully low. and the back even
lower. And the bottom comes Just
below the knee. An American woman
wouldn't wear It."

THE reasons why there is not at
present a boom in silver stocks are
obvious.
After the demonstration OF sill
YER, when the industry was killed In
this country. the price of the metal
decreased to the point where, with
extremely few exceptions, 1t could
not be mined at a profit. No one
wanted a silver mine. Prospecting
ceased. Nosgreat deposits have since
been discovered.
Capital could not be obtained for
the development of prospects. The
silver we have produced since then,
for the most part, has been as a by
product. The public regarded silver
mining as Improbable and would
have nothing to do with silver stocks.
when 1t became apparent that
there was an urgent demand through
out the world for about four times
as much silver as was being produced,
and the price went climbing to the
highest level 1t had ever reached, 1t
was realized that there were no real
ly great silver mines operating In
this country. There were no silver
stocks on the market to boom.
Sufficient time has not elapsed In
which to reopen, further explore. de-
yelop and put on paying basis the
great mines that were abandoned
when the price of silver went so low
hat they could no longer be prof
itably worked. Many of these mines
had left standing in them. filled in
Slopes, and on the dumps. great guam
titles of ore of a grade too low to be
worked at a profit in former times.
Many of these properties could be
made large and profitable producers
to-day but for the Excess Profit Tax,
which has kept the necessary capital
to open up and work them in a large
way from investing until now.
with the advent of the now great
demand for silver and the record
price it commands. the stocks of hun
dreds of wildcat promotions and
many prospects, some of them prom
ising, were thrown upon the market
and thousands of people bought to
| their sorrow. The wildcats have
| proved to be worthless and few OF the
prospects have developed into any
thing justifying the investment OF
the money expended. The result is
| that the so-called silver stocks have
| disguised the investing and speculat-
ing public and legitimate mining has
been greatly injured.
but a boom Is in the making. I'M
portant banking interests have for
months been devoting attention to
efforts to discover silver properties
and the development of some of the
old ones. Realizing the fact that the
demand far exceeds the supply, far
sighted bankers and engineers have
started in search Of new silver prop

SCHOOL TEACHER HELD FOR ARSON

Reno Journal: Crazed by long months of loneliness in the
desert wastes of upper Washoe County, and during a mt OF
mania, which magnifed trifes into tragedies, Miss Maude Cliff
ford. school teacher at Beulah, Wednesday set fires, which
burned her school house to the ground and destroyed the house
in which she was living, according to a complaint made by u.
3. Hill, ranchman and member of the State Assembly from
Beulah, in whose house she was living at the time.
The complaint, which was made over the telephone to Dis
trict Attorney Summerfeld, stated that the action followed
several days of dependency following some words between
Miss Clifford and Mrs. Hill.
Hill alleges that Miss Clifford, after warning her children
not to return after the morning session, set fire to the school
house and later to his own house and barn. All of the build.
ings were burned to the ground.
A warrant charging Miss Clifford with arson has been
issued, but it is believed by county officials that she was men
tally deranged at the time and a thorough investigation is to
be made. r.
What every woman knows is that if she can't get a man in
the other years, Leap Year won't help her any.
