. . WORTH THINKING ABOUT
W ' ..
No oi i’ ■ lion more affects tha future of European finances ami
industry an tlie stabilization of the'monetary systems of the
European countries,
Tlu- n-i of silver with value based on the gold standard as a me
dium of ( '.change in European countries is a vital issue, not onlp to
tliise c. aiiiti ies, but to the metal mining interests of the United
Stat s.
The real q m at ion is by what process can European count tin.',
be supplied with and encouraged to use silver as a basis for theii
cun : > mediums. While this country may well keep itself a'oof
from entangling intrigues of European politics, it will ot escape the
influence of world conditions in finance.
Any thing which our government can do to help stabilize Europca
sum ih'j with a supply of silver will be of great benefit not only t
the couiitri's in question, but to our own nation as well as th
itidt: It i who must trade with these foreign countries.
Our mini are great .ilvcr producers and utilizing this metal t<
Rial ili/.i paper money is a worth while subject for study.
THE ARSON CASE
The holding to answer of a group of prohibition officers 01 ;
cli. rge i. at on in .Mineral county, is reminiscent in a way of th;
case of t nitcd States Marshal Nagle, says the Reno Journal.
After Terry shot Broderick in a duel in the “gray dawn” of Cali
form's, he got in a row with Justice Field, who was itting on th:
fide id hem h of the California circuit. Held ptiui hi d him for ;
contempt and 11is client also. After that Field had Nagle for ;
bode guard and one noon when Field was eating at a little railwa
eating, house in California, Terry appered and, . > lie hooks ra;
v.as about to bludgeon Field. Nagle shot Terry tltad and he \\a
held to answer in the state courts.
The federal authorities removed the cause to their own court:
and si t Nagle free in a jiffy and there was an end to it. They too!
the position that Nagle was sworn to guard Field, a federal office!
and in the discharge! of his federal duties, was not subjuct to trial o
question by any state courts.
Th, , at: .a case may take somfcwhat the same course.
WEAL PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Stoei ownership of large public utility companies is rapidly going
to employees and customers in the territories served bv such
companies.
flu '.rowing demand for street railway transportation, electricity,
gas am! the telephone necessitates the use of large sums of capita
to meet the requirements of the public.
Under constructive public regulation the securiti s of these com
panics are today listed in practically the same class as municipal
bonds trout tlu standpoint of safety as they yield a larger rate t<
ilic investor. h
I lerbert I loovcr, chairman of the Colorado River U unmission, pay
tribute P the servic" 'endtied hv Governor ). U. brn ham of Nt
vada, at the late conference held to reach ,r- agn it over the pro
ject which means so much to this State, as well a i six other com
monwi alths directly interested in its development. lovernor Scrug
liatn remained through the whole session of the cot erencc and va
tircK m; in his efforts to bring about a settlement of ti c many perplex
ing problems in connection with the enterprise. Ne vada's new gov
ernor has demonstrated in this matter, as in all otliei s, with which h
has be; n connected, that he gets things done, and it >s clear that foilt
years ot state-wide progress arc ahead during his ;; 'ministration a

A teamster employed on highway work in Elko county came inP
town lilti r a recent payday and proceeded to fill tip on inoonsliitu
dispeusetl in that vicinity. The next morning he ha?! not only a hi;
head hut complained of it still being “dark.” It was found that b
secured a big dose of wood alcohol in some alleged whiskey and. wa.
stone blind. After treatment for more than a week the pliysiciai
managed to save the eyesight of the cclebrator, v. I10 immediateh
climbed aboard of the water wagon for life. A word to the wise i
sufficient.
i'lie recent census office bulletin, which presents statistics fo
deaths in automobile accidents for 1921, in the) 34 states reporting
shows that 10.1 (>S men, women and children lost their lives throng!

plagues to which modern society is heir, this is one >f the least cx

that end.
I'rodiue rs of “commercial" radium have recently advertised thei
product at about $70.' i !> per si. m (about 15.4 grains) of clcmcntn
radium, ulurcas the former price was $120,000. The geologic?
survey o'Mentis have explained the reason for this new price as bein
the1 discovery in Katanga, in lhigntn Congo, of large deposits of rid

Hemet, California, a town of 3000 inhabitants, owns a 40-acn

FLOATING ROOFS
FOR FULL OIL.TANKS
Providing float >g roofs for fuel
oil tank is one cthe newest safety
first practices of the Southern Pacific
Company.
in order to eliminate the hazard of
explosions of fuel oil tanks caused 1 y
i xpansion of gas, the Sothefn Pacific
Company is eqipping its mammoth
55,000 barrel capacity fuel oil tank
at Los Angeles with a floating roof.
The roof is so constructed that it
floats ption the top of the oil in such
a way that th- gas cannot form be
tween the oil and the tank roof.
In recent tests to prove that tanks
i equipped with the floating roof were
absolutely fireproof, government of
ficials built fires around minerature
floating roof tanks filled with gasoline.
The temperature of the tank was
brought to such a high degree that
ihe contents boiled without exploding
or catching fire.
A few months ago the Southern
Pacific Company's fuel tank at Los
•\ngeh.s was destroyed by fire re
ulting from an explosion of gas and
l to prevent a re-occurrence of such
i ac< dent that the company is equip
ing the huge tank with a new float
ig root' device.

(instructed ai a cost of $11,01X1 wib

The value of the gold, silver, cop
per, lead anl zinc mined in Nevada in
creased from $12,137,535 in 1921 to
f 14,712,GOO in 1922, according to pre
liminary figures compiled by V. C.
Ileikes, of the U. S. Geological Sur
vey, Department of the Interior.
This was greater than the value in
1921, but much les,s than that in any ;
other recent year.
The output of gold decreased from ;
$3,312,757 in 1921 to $3,147000 in 1922.1
The gold from the Tonopah district
increased from $999,094 to $1,199,690,
ami that of the Goldfield district from
$146,782 to $242,000. The Elkoro
mine at Jarbidge was the largest pro
ducer, and the West End, Tonopah
Extension, Tonopah Belmont and To
nopah Mining followed. The gold I
produced from copper ore decreased I
slightly, and owing to the burning j
of the mill of the Nevada Consolidated !
Mining Company, and the output of;
Round Mountain, Gold Circle and
Rochester was also less. In spite of
ihe general activity in the Comstock
district, the gold output decreased
from $324,827 to $303,000. Other
mines that made an output of gold
valued at $8X1,000, or more, were the
''.Oldfield Consolidated, Consolidated j
Virginia, Gold Canyon dredge, United
Comstock, Round Mountain, Nevada
Consolidated and White CapiS. The
White Caps mine, at Manhattan, rc
luned milling operations in Septem
b< r.
The mine production of silver in
■ ceased from 7,083,782 ounces in 1921.
to 8.198,000 ounces in 1922, as the
mining companies made every effort
to take every advantage of the
Pittman Act. The Tonopah district
irod'.iced 5,665.000 ounces, as again,st
1,623.901 ounces in 1921, and the de
lopment of several of the mines at
1 pth was most encouraging. The
argest producers were lb Tonopah
ExUnvon W i . End, Tonopah Bel
mont, Tonopah Mining, Tonopah Di
. ide, and Rochester Silver mines.
The mines of the Comstock district in
roa,sed their output to about 381,000
.unces, partly owing to the work of
he United Comstock Mining Corn
,any. which operated its new cyanide
lant in October. Mines at Rochester
produced 730,000 ounce,s, and these of
Piochc, 241,000 ounces. Other large
producer^ were the Leadville, Halifax,
Montana Tonopah, Betty O’Neal, and
V.mon Silver Lead mines. The new
•yanidation mill at Caldelaria Silver
Mines Company was completed and
operated in October.
The mine output of copper iti
•reased from ’0.961,491 pounds in 1921
019.892,000 pounds in 1922, and the
value from $1,414,032 to $2,666,000.
The Nevada Consolidated mines, at
Ely, White Pine County, resumed op
rations in May, and produced 5,000,
• 00 pounds of copper in. May, but at
: his rate wa,s seriously retarded by the
burning of the mill in July. Copper
ore was also shipped form the Boston
Ely, and operations were resumed
by the Consolidated Copper Mines
Company. The output of copper
from other districts was small.
The mine output of lead increased
from 7.188,768 pounds in 1921 to 9,
107,000 pounds in 1922, and the value
from $323,495 to about $519,000. The
Simon Silver Lead mine near M a,
was the largest prodilcer, though a
relatively new mine. In the Pio be
region, which produced about 1,900, X
•00 pounds of lead, the Prince Cm
iolidaled and Bristol Silver were the
largest contributors. 'T'lie Prince
Consolidated mine was idle, but much
old tailings was slipped from the dump
it Biillionville. Other large producers
were the Leadville, Eureka Croesus,
and Yellow Pine mines. The mines
of the Yellow pine district, formerly
the largest producer of lead, were idle
most of the year.
The mine output of recoverable
inc increased from 69,397 pounds in
1921 to 3,200.000 pounds in 1922. Much
of the ore shipped to zinc plants in
December did not reach its destina
tion in 1922. The Yellow Tine mine,
after two years of idleness, resumed
shipment in December. A very large
quantity of zinc concentrate stores at
-timoii Silver Lead mine was being
hipped in December. The marketing
>f zinc ore was greatly aided hv re
bleed freight rates and the in- :
creasing price of zinc.
