that 1t has been accepted as the best
solution Of most difficult and COM
plex problem of vital importance to
the economic welfare of the country
and the maintenance of our National
prosperity and financial integrity.
The Sentinel" asked Davis for an
expression of his views regarding the
McFadden bill and he said:
Practically all the ills from which
we are suffering are but the logical
result of currency and credit imitation
which has lowered the purchasing
power of our circulating medium to
such an extent that the economic life
of our people has been so upset as to
cause the dangerous unrest so prev
alent everywhere. More gold must
be produced with which to provide
additional security for our circulating
paper money and stabilize credits.
Not until this shall have been accom-
plished can we reasonably hope to re-
turn to anything approaching normal
conditions.
"The price of gold being fixed at
$20.65 an ounce, and the cost of ev-
erything entering into its production
having risen to point where gener-
ally speaking, 1t can no longer be pro-
duced except at a loss, a bonus Is an
absolute necessity IL production is
to be increased. The price of the
money metal cannot be increased
without so completely deranging the
worlds financial and credit structure
as would cause a catastrophe that
would spread unparalleled ruin.
"The trade consumed some twenty
millions more gold last year than
was produced in this country. This
was drawn from the reserve held by
the Government to secure our paper
money. thus decreasing its actual val
ue and its purchasing power. which
is measured by the higher prices for
everything we consume.
ITO provide bonus necessary to
stimulate the production without in
terfering with its value as a money
metal, an excise tax on all gold used
by the trade. which would be paid by
the buyers OF jewelry, etc., and in
turn paid to the producers of new
gold. seemed to be the best and only
way to meet the necessities of a
grave and desperate situation.
Il regard the McFadden bill as be-
ing the most important of all the i'm
portant matters before Congress, and
its early passage should be demanded
by all the people. l have no doubt
of its ultimate passage, but every
days delay postpones just SO long
the necessary preparation for re-
turn to normal and sane conditions,

UNCLE SAM CONS.

+. T. Torpey, the purchaser of the

left this morning for San francisco
to complete the details of the new
company's organization, and will re-
turn in a few days to take charge OF
operations.
AS soon as the weather permits de-
velopment will be started. Equip
ment necessary for this work is now
being assembled, and as soon as 1t Is
installed two shifts of miners will be
employed.
The old tunnel on this property
will be extended in a westerly direc-
ton to the ore zone, a distance esti-
mated at about $50 feet. When the
ore zone is encountered 1t will be
followed to the Hamburg mine. which

DAVIS PROPERTIES

When asked for news of the Eu-
reka-Croesus and other Davis prop
critics, Superintendent Julius Hueb-
ner said
There Is nothing can add to my
statement of last week. Everything
is running along smoothly and satis-
factorily at all the mines. and ship
ments of ore are going out from the
Croesus mine every day. These ship
lnents will be increased as fast as
road conditions improve, and the
work in general will be pushed ahead
much faster as soon as the weather
becomes settled.

congressman McFadden has intro
,aced bill to provide for the pro-
...,ion OF the monetary gold reserve
- the maintenance of the normal
la PRODUCTION of the United States
i satisfy the requirements of the
.,ts and trades, by imposing an ex-
80 upon all gold used for other than
nopetary purposes. and the payment
A. premium to the producers OF
,svly mined gold, and providing pen
,ltes for the violation thereof.
The bill calls for a tax of $40 an
oupce, which is to be paid to the pro-
ducers of new gold, thus giving the
miner s30.65 instead of S20.65 as at
present.
Leaving out of consideration the
great benefit the passage of the bill
would bring to the country at large
and viewing only the value 1t would
be to the Eureka district. we must
admit Its OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. The
| Prospect Mountain ores all carry gold
/ in considerable quantities. Particu-
/ brly Is this true of the Eureka Croe-
ns, Eureka-King and Eureka-Queen
uoperties. Clarence King, the great
st mining geologist OF his day, held
|Ae belief that at depth the ores
,ould be found to be gold and cop
Der. Major Catlin, who has given
more study to the geology Of the dis
/ riet than any man living, agreed
| With King. The lowest new work
|hgs in the Eureka-Croesus mine
show greatly increased gold values,
With considerable copper showings in
places. A decided change in the
Character of the ore below permanent
vater level is certain. ALI the evil
|denee SO far obtained from actual de-
Telopments points to greatly In
creased gold values. Assuming. how
ever, that the percentage of gold val
ues does not increase with additional
depth, $40 additional per ounce OF
gold will make 1t possible to work al
Q profit hundreds of thousands OF
ions of ore which otherwise would
not be worth mining. No matter
from what view point the bill may be
considered, u would bring many mil
lions OF dollars to Eureka that could
not be obtained without It's passage
and make profitable producing mines
out of properties now considered
worthless.
Eugene Davis, who has given much
time to the study and investigation of
the gold question, was the first man
In this country to publicly advocate
an excise tax on all gold used for any
purpose other than the coinage of
money. He has persistently advo-
eated the plan in the press of the
country with such force and ability
