Lee Windle left for Goiconda
yesterday, where he will rusticate
for week.
Another rich gold strike is re-
ported in the DEMO district, in
northern Humboldt.
D. A. Abel arrived yesterday with
six tons of ore from Blossoms

Two teams loaded with $4,000
pounds of borax from the Rose
Valley borax mines, in southern
Oregon, arrived this morning.
A new route to the Clondyke has
been surveyed and partially con-
structed by the Canadian govern
ment. Pack trains are already run
ming over it. The route is by the
regular passenger steamers to Fort
Wrangle, from which place the Hud-
son bay steamer is taken to the
head of navigations on the Stiken
river. From this point the govern
ment has cut the trail to a point on
the Youkon river, below the rapids.

OLD TIMER Tells
. OF EARLY WRITERS

Editor, Carson City Appeal;-lt's
shame to shatter long-held pleas
antly entertained beliefs, but truth
is memorable and biography and his
tory ought to be. Mark Twain went
to work as a cub reporter on trial,
on the Territorial Enterprise in
1868 and left in 1866. The paper
was owned and run by Dennis Nc
earthly, a brother of ALT Mccarthy,
now publisher of the Walker Lake
Bulletin, and Joe Goodman, and
Rollin Mallory Dagget was one of
its editors in the sixties, and down
to the eighties. Dan De guile
| William Wright was the regular
reporter. This made writing force
not equalled by any other newspaper
on the coast. | first knew the En-
terprise compositors In 1869, but
did not work with them until 1888.
At that time there remained Dan De
guile, whose place l subsequently
occupied, and James W. E. Towns
end, affectionately known as Lying
Jim," who at different times re-
ported with Mark Twain and Dan
De guile, and C. A. V. Putnam,
who was state printer in 1873 and
1874, and Steve ellis, about the
only friend Mark Twain left on the
lode, the last two named being COM
positors.
They had all worked with Mark
Twain during the whole time he
was there. l worked side by side
with Dan De Guile, Jim Townsend,
Putnam and ellis for years, and they
are my informants. Will U. Mac
hey, foreman of the state printing
office, also worked with the same
men during the later seventies and
early eighties, but his can tell his
own story. He has just rounded
out forty-four years continuous
work in the printing officss-a long
life of useful service,
Dan De guile was most amiable
gentleman, and highly educated, and
finished writer. He could touch
the sore places Of the mind with
out hurting them, but he would
not touch them at all. Mark Twain
possessed none of these qualities
when he began work on the Enter
prise, although he had written pecul-
iarly clever articles before that,
having begun writing for a paper
published at Hannibal, Missouri,
where Will U. Maekey was bern.
Townsend, ellis, and Putnam un-
animously pronounced Mark Twain
as altogether boastful, egotistical,
erabid, greedy, selfish and a much
afraid man, and according to the
judgment of the day, his work did
not match up to the work Of Dan
De guile as a writer, and it was
not until after "Inocents Abroad"
was published did the, boys brag
over the fact that they had worked
with him.

of my informants told me that they
heard Jim Townsend tell that story
in saloons long before it appeared
in "Roughing It,"
The notorious story OF the mold
ing up of Mark Twain on the Divide
occurred as follows: Mark used to
brag inordinately, and the printers
put up a job on him. He had to
go to Gold Hill to report meeting
one night, and the boys went to
Divide and held him up and took
silver watch and few coins from
him. He was greately agitated
during the delivery. He got back tc
his desk and wrote furious de-
scription of the hold-up, and claimed
to have routed the desperadoes

A Kleinhans left this morning via
the Western Pacific for a three
months visit to his old home at
Gallon, Ohio. En- route the re-
spected pioneer merchant of Winnie
mucca will stop off at several towns
and visit some of the Golden Rule
stores, being personally interested
in the business of the company.
Mr.. Kleinhans is truly q pioneer
Of Winnemucca, and one who helped
make the town what it is today.
He started in business here in the
fall Of 1869, and continued actively
engaged until May 1902, when he
retired on account Of poor health.
The Silver State wishes the old
pioneer a very pleasant journey and
visit to his former home and a safe
return to the town and people he
loves.

LOSING A
COAL MARKET

COAL MARKET
When conditions in the United
States are anywhere near normal,
it's people produce more than they
consume in many directions. This
fact is the basis Of foreign COM
merce, to develop and protect which
is a prime concern of the nation,
more SO at this time than in any
other time in the history Of the
country.
Easily among the foremost mar
kets to which the United States
should look Is Latin America, where
busy people are fast building up
potent nations who instinctively are
in neighborly sympathy with this
country. It is yet another proof Of
the injury the American people suf-
fer from a strike that during the
coal trouble now disturbing the
country Great Britain is snatching
important export business with
South America.
Here we move out Of the realm
Of theory into the field Of fact,
Coal operation came to virtual
standstill in this country; South
America turned elsewhere. Britain
with a very low demand at the
moment from her continental mar
kets had the necessary supply and
the business Is hers to the loss of
American commerce.
President Harding needed to look
nc, farther before issuing his "ultt
matum" to miners and operators to
his obvious duty. Public welfare at
home and national prosperity abroad,
which are inevitably linked, de-
handed prompt action looking to a
termination of the strike. If there
has been any reluctance on the part
of the executive to hasten the hands
Of the rival parties to the strike, it
has probably been for the best.
Both operators and miners may have
gained perspective that was lack
ing in the first days Of the strike.
The country, like the president,
feels that the time has come when
he should employ all means at bis
disposal in the interest Of the public.
That the strike should have been
prevented in the first place is the
conviction Of many; that the public
interest should continue to suffer,
If the government has any power
Of remedy at all, is highly repug-
nant to a public long Disguised with
the sslfshness of those profiting
from general necessity.

there is in England. She under
stands quite well her trade with her
colonies must be protected against
such foreign competition,-if she
would survive industrially and COM
mercially. Hence the protective
tariff policy Of the British Empire
the Safeguarding Of Industries Act
In view of this policy of Great
Britain, it can hardly be expected
that the American public will take
seriously the British propaganda
that America must open her mar
kets to British products if she ex-
poets to be repaid the loans she has
made to the British Empire.

DENVER AN
| EARLY BIRD

Today's outstanding example OF
forehandedness is Denver, which in
spired probably by reports that the
rivalry will be unusually keen, has
announced its intention of captur-
ing the Republican national con-
vention in 1904. At that, though,
the ''mile-high city" might have
more success in going after the
Democratic convention, which it had
in 1908.
The Republican party of late
years seems to have a preference
for Chicago as a convention city
It met there in 1904, 1908, 1912
1916 and 1920. Philadelphia had
the convention in 1900. The party's
20-year habit will be hard to break
The Democrats have been less con-
sistant. They have met at Denver
Baltimore, st Louis, San Francisco
and other places.
1t is reported that Minneapolis
and Kansas City, which have had
the privilege Of entertaining ma.
tionsl conventions in the past, will
enter the lists against Denver fol
the Republican gathering. They
also, possess adequate halls for the
meeting, the first essential. Chicago
significantly, is not saying q word
Her record speaks for her. When
it comes to facilities for taking care
Of big gatherings, Chicago is in a
class by herself. She can handle q
national party convention without
getting fiustered and neglecting heI
regular business.
The theory no longer obtains
that there is any political advantage
in holding a convention In . certain
city. The practical question con-
Germs the general accessibility OF
the town and its ability to take care
of the delegates and the Thousands
Of visitors attracted by the event
Chicago wins ON both counts. But
there is no reason why Denver
boosters should not try to seizs
her laurels.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1922-07-22
THE POINT
OF VIEW

The administration at Washington
has taken a proper step in making
formal demand upon Francis P,
Caravan, alien property custodian
under the Wilson administration,
for the surrender to the present
alien property custodian Of all the
patents formerly owned by enemy
aliens and now held by the Chemical
Foundation, Inc.
The Chemical Foundation, Inc,
is concern to which Caravan, ac-
cording to the charges now con-
fronting him, took advantage Of his
position as alien-property custodian
to sell a large number of such
patents. Although of enormous
commercial value, Garvan allowed
this company to have them for a
mere 100000. Then, when adj
ministrations changed and Mr.. Hard
ing appointed a new custodian, the
imperturbable Garvan turned up
as president of the Chemical Foun-
dalton, to which he had sold the pa
tents at such inadequate prices.
And Mr.. Garvan says there was
nothing wrong about it!
That depends, of course, entirely
on the point Of view. There was
no difference except a difference of
point of view between former Sena-
tor Burton of Kansas and Theodore
Roosevelt when the latter was presi-
dent and Burton called upon him to
urge the appointment of a certain
constituent to high office.
1t transpired in the discussion that
the Burton candidate had served a
term in the penitentiary, "but that, "
Burton blandly assured the aston
ished Theodore, doesn't matter
it happened years ago and he has
been doing splendidly ever since"
There was a quick snap of the FAM
Gus Roosevelt jaws over the famous
Roosevelt teeth, and pointing his
finger in Burton's face Teddy
blurted out: "I'll tell you what
we'll do, Burton. You bring me
the names of all men in Kansas
who haven't been in penitentiary
and If we can't find suitable man
among them then wen take up the
penitentiary list"
/ Caravans ethics and mental pro-
cesses and Burton's are very similar.
When the government. which held
the patents simply as a trustee, re-
covers them it will doubtless turn
them over to their rightful owners.
