BIG MINING BOOM
NOW IN MAKING

Evidence has been accumulating for
sometime on the New York Curb
Market. says the Morning Telegraph
of that city, which would lead to the
belief that there is a mining boom in
the making, from various quarters
during the past several weeks. Buy
ing orders have been coming to the
market In considerable volume. Hun
dreds Of thousands Of shares are
quietly picked up at the lowest prices
that have been seen for years. A
great majority of these orders come
from the middle States and the far
West, and a good many from the
hearts of mining camps where they
know the real value Of the mines.
While thus far sllthis buying has
not much influence on the general
market. yet 1t is getting to the point
where 1t is making a strong and seri-
Gus impression on the brokers and
spectators who deal in mining stocks
on the curb. That there is plenty of
reason for such a boom no m will
doubt who carefully studies the stu
alton. In the first place all the lead
ing metals, gold, silver, copper, lead
and zinc, are selling at bed rock
prices. Gold is recovering as the
prices in other lines fall. 1t is reck-
oned that the base metals cannot go
any lower, and that the next move
ment will be to higher levels. The
public feels convinced they are buy
ing at the bottom, and there is every
reason to believe they are right. Sill
yer is assured Of a dollar per ounce
for at least FIVE years. Copper is
bound to be more in demand as con-
~struction gets under way. those who
| are In a position to know feel con-
WINGED that the new Congress will
| take some favorable action to stimu-
late gold mining. not alone for the
material gain to the present produc-
| ing mines but in the hopes of getting
the p~rospectors back to the hills,
speeding up development work that
will eventually lead to the gold pro-
ducers of the future. What the New
York brokers wish to know is what is
what, and where is going to be the
naxt eYcitament what offers the hest
opportunities al the present time.
The people are not going to stand
| still. the business skys are clearing,
the sunshine of optimism and con-
idence is warming the hearts of
American investors and spectators,
the clouds of pessimism and doubt
are parting, the silver lining is shin
ing through. American banks are
bullying with money, every nation on
earth owes us millions and some bill
lions. There were never more op-
portunities to make money since the
Garden OF Eden was cut into lots.
Great copper stocks are selling for
one-third of their former price. All
the signs of times point to a tremend-
Gus mining activity and when 1t gets
under way a good many people will
wish they had picked up some of the
bargains that the wise ones are now
buying in New York.

" GUILTY
OF

Guilty of manslaughter," was the
verdict of the jury that heard the
evidence in the trial at Reno of the
State of Nevada VS.. James II. Neven,
charged with the murder of Mrs.
Eta Hanna in an apartment that was
occupied jointly by them for many
years before the shooting of Mrs.
Hanna.
The date for sentencing the guilty
man has been set at 10 o'clock next
Saturday morning. The crime OF
-manslaughter carries with 1t a sen
tence of from one to ten years in
prison.
District Attorney Summerfield
urged a first degree murder verdict
with the death penalty. The verdict
was evidently a compromise with the
jurors.
Neven was charged with the muir
der of Mrs. Hanna, following the FIR
ing of a shot in her apartments or
the night of February 3. He was ar
rested Immediately afterwards, the
woman dying before she could be
taken to a hospital.
The case, owing to Neven's prom
inence in political life and long resi-
dence in Reno, has attracted more
than usual attention.
Counsel'f for the defense announced
he would move for a new trial.

THE INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT

1t is the taste of the good old times
of a dozen years G to hear Presi-
dent Barrett of the National farmers
union bawling out the invisible gov
eminent at Washington. He mod
ernizes his language by calling it the
assistant government. He names the
organizations and representatives of
a long list of business interests which
maintain in Washington a force of
| representatives to steer Congress and
the departments in desired directions.
Lumber, meat, steel, coal, banking,
merchandising and a score more are
busy at Washington molding the Gov
eminent, as far as they are able, to
their hearts desire.
Mr.. Barrett went farther, however.
and mentioned some organizations of
a contrary point of view. There is
a National voters league, trying to
represent the general interest. There
is a National popular government
league bent on a more complete de-
J mocracy, and there are committees
representing under-dog races and
groups.
half a dozen permanent organizations
and committees whose sole business
it is to keep Congress right with the
farmers. One of the most elaborate
and persistent of all assistant gov
ernments'' at Washington is the lob
by which the labor unions maintain
there. The Government is invisible
