Mining VII Be Rerired
If Pittman's Prediction
Comes True.
BY EDGAR REINHART.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
RENO. New. September 9.-Cheer-
ing news was brought to Nevada this
week by Senator Key Pittman. He
came here to attend a Democratic
labor political rally and make a Labor
day address. most Of which was devoted
to the silver situation.
Senator Pittman predicted that with
in short time silver would be SELL
ing at between so and 10 cents an
ounce. If his predictions come true. it
will mean the reopening of a number
of big silver mines, formerly employing
several hundred men. and the rejuve-
nation Of silver mining in the State
1t was pointed out last week in con-
nection with the presidential order lift
ing the embargo on gold ores that the
silver price would undoubtedly rise also
Senator Pittman, however. looks for
the rise Independent of the gold en-
barge action. giving credit to the pledge
of other nations to use more silver and
support it.
The banking situation shows no
change, other than an announced ef-
fort to speed up the several cases now
in court looking to reorganization Of
the closed Wingf1eld banks. Even an
assurance that the reorganization would
go through will help to cheer up the
people here.
Nevada was informed during the
week that there would be a decline in
the wool production this year of close
to 1000 900 pounds. The price of wool
this year has been higher than for
the 1881 crop, but it is far from pay
ing crop at present. The decline is
due to the decrease in the number of
sheep Shorn.
Nevada is doing its best to enter the
N. r. A. spirit, but having no major
industries the increase in employment
is, hardly noticeable All of the firms
employing a dozen or more men, how
ever, have increased their forces.

Among the political gleanings at the
fair were the following:
That Senator La Toilette, when he
seeks reelection next year, will be
vigorously opposed by the State Demo-
cratic organization which has none of
the friendly regard for the Progressive
Republican Senator shown by the ma

That Representative Raymond j.

ways been friendly to Progressive Re-

Gratis best bet to run against Sena-

That Gov. Schmedeman. once Min

great desire to return to Europe in that
capacity and is reconciled for his
party's sake to run again for Governor
IN 1884 as the Democratic candidate.
