Telegraphic advices inform us
that no report on the Ballinger-Pin
chot investigation can be expected
until this fall. No one looked for one
before that time, as several of the in
vestigating committee will be up for
election about that date.
The amount of money put into cir
culation annually through the dis
bursement of life Insurance in the
United States runs into figures of al
most unbelievable magnitude. The
total returns for 1909 just completed
aggregate nearly three hundred and
thirty-one millions of dollars with an
added amount paid out to foreign
policy holders estimated at one hun
dred and fifty millions.
Whatever may be said of the im
practicability of the aeroplane in its
present stage of development as a
vehicle of attack in warfare, its util
ity as a means of communication
across the lines of an enemy cannot
be questioned. Paulhan, Curtiss and
now Hamilton have demonstrated
that the heavier-than-air machine can
be driven over long distances at high
■peed at almost any elevation to
which the operator cares to ascend,
and it is probable that the limitations
upon human flight have by no means
yet been reached. It has been ar
gued that the wireless telegraph will
prove objectionable as a channel of
secret communication during hostili
ties because wirelss messages may be
intercepted and translated by the
enemy. The aeroplane dispatch
bearer, flying at high speed out of the
range of the best of sharpshooters,
will surely figure in the next war be
tween separated forces and observa
tion of the enemy’s position.
Judge Peter S. Grosscup’s remedy
for the conditions produced by
monopoly would be more monopoly.
Efforts to check transportation
monopolies by rate regulation or in
dustrial monopolies by enforced com
petition being equally vain, Judge
Grosscup would put a valuation on
corporate property “that takes into
consideration everything through
which they have gone as well as what
they now possess.” This being done,
he would regulate not merely rates of
transportation, but the prices of com
modities as well, so that “a fair re
turn should be obtained on such
valuation and no more.” He would
concede the main point to the stock
waterers, on the one hand, and to
the Socialist extremists on the other.
The social philosophy of Karl Marx,
tempered by the “business” principles
of Mark Hanna, would be a singular
mix-up, assuming that water and oil
in this instance could be made to mix.
If there be no remedy but that pro
posed by Judge Grosscup it Is to be
feared that we shall have to con
tinue climbing up a "spiral stairway”
on high prices until we reach the top
of the structure and “begin the re
turn to solid ground”—1. e., until we
fumble off.

MINES AND MINING
BE A BONANZA
OLD TIMERS THINK IT WILL RI
VAL GOLDFIELD AND AFRICAN
RAND MINES WITHIN FIVE
YEARS.
_
Since the attention of George
Wingfield has been engaged In the
development of a large mineral area
in the Buekhorn mineral belt in Eu
reka county, Nevada, very little has
been heard of that district. It has
| developed recently that some rich
i shipments of ore from the Wingfield
| properties have been received on this
| market, and that a considerable
amount of rich product is being ex
tracted and marketed. But Wing
field has had his experience in cor
ralling mining properties and also
' had to contend with an undesirable
! element that infests boom camps, so
j in the case of the Buekhorn diggings
1 it Is said that he is not advertising
the fact that he has a mammoth bon
I anza proposition that bids fair to
j rival the great riches of Goldfield or
I the celebrated mines in the Rand
I country.
A prominent mining man who has
| recently inspected the Buekhorn
camp is of the opinion that within a
couple of years the companies will
' have that section opened up to an
j extent that it will easily rival Gold
field in production. He has surveyed
1 the country carefully and weighed its
I possibilities. He makes the state
; ment that it is one of the richest gold
camps on the globe and that within
five years it will equal the record
made by the Rand mines of South
i Africa.
In one portion of the camp a lead
has been prospected for miles in
length, which gives an average value
of $10 in gold and the end has not
been reached yet. On the Wingfield
property a number of small shafts
and crosscutts have been run and it
is estimated that they have at least
$7,000,000 worth of ore blocked out.
The entire ledge can be worked by
steam shovels, as it is near the sur
face, and as the product is a cyanid
ing proposition, it is claimed that it
1 can be worked the most cheaply of
any mining property in the west.
Wingfield has expended a consider
able amount of money on this prop
erty during the past year and he owns
the ground outright. During the
next year he will erect one of the
largest cyanlding plants in the world
In the district, and from that time on
regular roduction will be Inaugurat
ed on an extensive scale.
While all news regarding the ramp
has been held down, it is said that
; with the Wingfield employees there
are about 150 men in the district
working. A large force can even
tually be employed and the camp
should have several thousand inhabi
tants. The district is said to be one
of the wonders of the age by reason
of the large profit that can be made
from the recovery of values at a very
low cost. Old timers who have seen
it contend that there is nothing ever
discovered in this country, Africa or
Alaska to compare with it.
IIOKFD VKI.L RRKAKH
INTO ARTKHIAN FI/OU
Last Friday morning when Peter
Jacobsen went out to his pump and
found the water running out of the
pipe he was the most surprised as
well as the happiest man In Carson
valley. Mr. Jacobsen is unable to ac
count for the strange phenomena and
what has been the cause of the ar
tesian flow breaking out In his bored
well. The pipe into his well was
driven nineteen years ago and at that
time the water stood within two feet
of the surface of the ground. During
the years that have elapsed the well
has furnished a never-failing suppl/
of clear, cold water. Just what caused
tne artesian flow to start Is hard to
be understood. The earthquake of a
few weeks ago may have caused a
break In the low strata and opened
the way to a subterranean channel.
Mr. Jacobsen cares very little as to
what is responsible for the flow, but
he would not sell It for a big sum of
money.—Oardnerville Curler.
IS MARGIN TRADING A YVAGKR.
Opinion in stock and commodlties
trading circles cannot fall to regard
as rather remarkable the decision of
the New York court of appeals re
versing the decision or the lower
court of appeals reversing the decis
ion of the lower court In the case of a
firm of New York brokers that had
secured a Judgment of 110,000
against the Postal Telegraph com
pany for an error In the transmis
sion of a message by wire. It was
an order on New Orleans brokers to
sed twenty thousand bales of cotton
at 12.70 a pound; the delivered mes
read 12.07 a pound, New Orleans
witnesses had testified at the trial
In the lower court that there was no
delivery of the cotton and that the
transaction consisted entirely of a
settlement of differences between the
purchasing and the selling price. The
defendant company did not set up the
plea that the transaction was an un
lawful one, and the judgment was ob
tained by the plaintiffs with little dif
ficulty.
“This testimony fas to the non-de
livery of the cotton)”, says Judge
Werner, who wrote the court-of-ap
peals decision, “though meagre and
perhaps inconclusive, was hostile to
the legal presumption that the trans
actions were lawful and was sufficient
to creat an issue of face upon which
the defendant had the right to a
charge embodying the substance of
the requests above quoted. If the
transactions between the plaintiffs
and their clients or customers were
mere wagers, they are void under the j
statutes of this state and the general
law of the land.”
Trading in stocks and commodities
on margin is not unlawful under the
New York or the Federal statutes;
mere wagers” are void under these
statutes; but no law and no court de
cision has ever declared margin-trad
ing to be “wagers.” And so long
as the statutes do not prohibit mar
gin-trading, it remains perfectly legi
timate. Efforts at legislation to pro
n‘bit It have been made in many
states and in Congress as well. But
until the laws so order it would seem
to be impossible to establish by testi
mony In a court of Justice that it is
a “mere wager” or gambling.
The court of appeals orders a new
trial of this case. If the defendant
company then sets up the plea that it
is not liable for the losses due to its
error, the question will thus be put
to a test. But it is not easily believ
able that it would do this. A very
large proportion of its business is
no doubt the transmisison of margin
trading messages—and it would nat
urally hesitate to establish by court
testimony that it is a regular party
to gambling transactions.—New York
Commercial.
KNIFE SCARES BOV TO DEATH.
Finds Himself on Operating Table
After Being Cut With Glass.
PIIT8BURG, June 20.—To be lit
erally frightened to death at seeing
blood gush from a cut, and from be
ing placed on the operating table at
St.John’s Hospital, was the fate today
of John Roach, aged 16, of Woods
Run.
While playing ball he fell and
gashed his wrist on broken glass. The
blood spurted so fast that the doctors
hastily placed him under an anaes
thetic on the operating table to sew
up the cut.
! After the operation young Roach
regained consciousness then seeing
himself on the table, collapsed com
pletely. and was carried to a cot in a
| dying condition.
Ordinarily, the blood lost by the
boy should not have killed him. said
the doctors.

That last exercise gave him a chance

spirit when he had finished.
