$50, 00O, 900 is in doubt, whether or
not it has been returned to the
treasury and the credit cancelled, or
is still in New York vaults. Although
it was never purchased under the
Pittman act, it was never melted
and there is some question as to
whether or not it should be replaced
by new silver bought from producers
at 81 an ounce. The exact amount
shipped to China and reduced there
10 bullion is not known to outsiders;
but the estimate is that between
twenty-eight and thirty million
ounces were so disposed of.
Now there is a point that is of
particular interest to Nevadans. Mr..
Berger writes that on July II of the
present year he informed Senator
Pittman of the foregoing facts;
that on the 18th of that month the
silver and gold commission of which
both senators from Nevada are
prominent anu ACTIVE mcHlDefs'
attempted to investigate the report,
but made no Roadway; that "the
records and correspondence pertain
ing thereto were withheld and sup
pressed" Acting Treasurer II. S.
Gilbert claimed that the whole trans
action was conducted under the
provisions of the Grading with the
Enemy" act. The writer of the
story combats the position and dem
onstrates very conclusively that the
statute named confers no such au-
thority on any government depart
ment. He goes further and proves
that the negotiations recognized no
other authority than the Pittman
act. Roberts wanted it amended,
perhaps, it is suggested so as to
cover that S50,000,000 used to make
good the gold deficit in his banks.
The Engineering and Mining Jour
al, in commenting editorially on the
deal, agrees with the contention of
its contributor in this respect.

SAGE CONVICTED
|. Of MAMSLAUGHTER

Clarence Sage, found
guilty of manslaughter by a jury
in the district court here late Satur-
day night, is held in the county jail
without bonds. He will be sentenc-
ed next Saturday, it was announced
by Judge Mcnamara who presided
at the trial, the second one for the
Staying of Edward Colquhoun at
Silver City last March.
The jury was out five hours, TAX
| ing several ballots. The man.
slaughter verdict came after several
ballots had been taken.
When Sage comes up for sentence
Saturday, according to reports here
there will be no motion made for a
new trial, nor notice of an appeal,
The penalty is from one to ten
years.
Sage, for several years detec-
tive for the Goldfeld Consolidated
Mines Company at Goldfeld, quar-
relied with Colquhoun in a saloon at
Silver City the night of March ID,
last, and in a fistic encounter was
worsted by Colquhoun. He went to
his room and returned few min
utes later, when he began shooting,
one bullet piercing Colquhoun's
heart. Feeling ran high in Silver
City for several hours and Sage was
taken to Carson by sheriff's deputies,
who arrested him in his room. The
jury which heard the evidence in
the first trial failed to agree and
was discharged.
Colquhoun was a former service
man and was unusually popular in
Silver City.

crisis was occasioned by an accumu
lation of exchange due Chinese

yer shipments continued until Feb
ruary 27, 1920, when the silver
famine seems to have ceased.
The reason assigned at the time
for not including these sales in the
amounts to be purchased from silver
producers was that the Pittman act
provides that the coins must bs
broken up or melted; that the de
mand was so urgent that there was
not sufficient time to do the worl
here; that the coins were reduced to
bullion Immediately on their arriva
in China. No explanation is offered
as to why the amounts were moi
subsequently included in the Pitt

FUNNY BUSINESS
IN SILVER SALES

The New York Engineering and
Mining Journal Press of October 20
which reached Reno yesterday, con-
tains an article that is of much in
terest to all American silver produc-
ers, is enlightening and sensationally
suggestive of the dark and devious
days of very lofty finace. 1t states
explicitly, without any ifs, ands OF
butts, that the federal treasury sold
under the provisions of the Pittman
act an excess of eighty million
silver dollars at a price of $1.2!
$40 per fine ounce, for export 70
China, which was never included in
the amount of silver purchased from
producers at 81 an ounce, as per the
mandatory requirements of the Pitt.
man act.
The story written by c. l. Breger
is long one, goes into details as to
world finance, names of men and in
stitutions implicated, dates, figures
and facts. 1t is worth reading, Con-
densed to the limit, the high lights
revealed are about as follows:
On October 20,1919, G. E. Rob-
ers, former superintendent of the
mint, then and at present one of the
vice presidents of the National City
Bank, New York, entered into ne
gotiations with the treasury depart
ment for the purchase of an indefi-
mite number of silver dollars at the
above-named price, which is the
coinage value-and consummated
the deal. The first sale was made
November 25. The silver was taken
from the San Francisco mint, 3d.
100000, and was shipped on two
steamers then in port waiting fo1
it.
On that date silver was quoted in
New York at $1.37 1-2, on the
Pacific coast at SLAB and in China
at the highest price since the
sixteenth century. The writer does
not give the China quotation. The
treasury department at Washington
contains no record of this trans.

10000 RAINBOW TROUT
PLANTED BY h. OF P.

A shipment of about 10000 Rain
bow Trout arrived in Blackfoot Tues
day morning assigned to the X of P.
Lodge Fish Committee. The train
was met by five cars consisting OF
C. S. Pelkey, e. s. Nugent, Edward
Taylor, r. N. Ludi and Richard Fish
er. Twenty large cans were received
and loaded on the five cars and taken
to Brush and Rawlins creeks where
they were planted by the drivers.
The trip to Brush creek while tho
roads are not in the best Of shape can
be made very nicely with anything
but a Ford. A few Fords claim TO
have made the grades, but 1t Is
doubtful whether with the new road II
would be possible for one to make it
back The road leading down into
Brush creek is now impossible and q
detour at the top of the hill, to the
right is necessary to get down into
| the creek bottom, and this grade Is
the one that would stick the average
Ford. The rest of the road is fairly
good since the committee that deliver
ed the fish Tuesday were forced to
fill in one place on the road that has
been giving trouble for some time.
The planting of these 10000 Rain
bow Trout the first that Blackfoot has
received is the beginning Of the stock
ing of the creeks In this neighborhood
each one empties eventually into tbs
Blackfoot, where the fish as they
grow larger will find their way, thus
making upper Blackfoot and all the
little creeks that empty into it, one OF
the best fishing grounds in the state.
The X. of p. Fish committee are to b9
congratulated on the prompt action
taken in getting the first shipment OF
fish, and especially should they be
complimented, since BIackfoot has
had in existence for some time a
association that claims
to have tried to get fish and were un-
successful. The committee are ex-
pecting another shipment In the near
future. movement is on foot by
some Of the fishermen of Blackfoot
to locate a cabin on Brush creek ana
80 far the movement Is receiving the
endorsement Of quite a number OF
people but just what it will turn out
20 be, whether private or X. Of P.
,abin is unknown, but scouts are go
ng out Saturday and Sunday in the
lopes Of locating a good spot for the
coating of a cabin. Several cabins
ire already there and 1t is thought
hat one of them might be leased.

BEACKFCOT HONORED BY
PRESIDENT AND MRS. HARDING

Today Thursday is to be one or
the biggest days in the history of
Blackfoot, for it is the first time a
J President of the United States has ev-
er visited this section of Idaho.
The business houses are decorated
and the stores closed at l o'clock IN
honor of the coming of the president.
The presidential special train ar
rived in Blackfoot at two o'clock and
five minute speech from the rear ,,f
the train was giveen.
The first section consisted of five
cars and passed through Blackfoot
about ten minutes ahead of the Presi-
dents special.
The special was nicely decorated
with the national colors, bunting and
flags being used with large pictur,
of the president on the engine.
Governor Moore introduced the
President in a very few words when
he said "It certainly gives me great
pleasure to present a real American
citizen, to the people Of the greatest
nation on earth"
President Harding and Mrs. Hard
ing then stepped forward and were
presented with several beautiful bo-
quets.
The president then said.
Ladies and Gentlemen; you don't
know how great it pleases me to give
to you cordial greetings and to como
into direct contact with our people,
the greatest people on this continent"
He then told story Of an old In
dian who called on him at the White
House in Washington one morning,
and in a few words the old Chief
handed to the White Chief his bow
and arrow, and with tears In his eyes
he said "Me no need EN- more, me
get food like white man." ut was
rather pleasing to me to see what
strides the west was making in the
way of civilization and that the In
ian had come to perpetuate with us
in this great western development"
Although you may be far In tho
west you are still in close contact
with your government with all Of our
wonderful developments Of today. In
Kansas City where made speech
the other night, people listened to 1t
in Washington, d. c."
