EDITORIAL COMMENT
Congress has passed the
Edge export finance bill that
amends the federal reserve
act which provides for the in
corporation of concerns to fin
ance the export business of
the United States, so that for
eign customers who cannot
pay cash may buv goods here
and the American exporter
can get actual cash for his
commodities.
Tonopah Divide is reported
to have ore on every level and
is increasing its ore reserves
that already have been con
servatively estimated at over
ten million dollars. So much
for the new premium ou sil
ver, but there is too much in
ducement to melt up silver
dollars yet to waste it in de
velopment of mines.
Our story about deepest
wells and mines two weeks
ago is now supplemented by
a story from England where
at Birmingham last month
Eric Davis gave particulars
of the Moro Velho mine in
Brazil which is 6,400 feet ver
tically below the surface and
3,650 feet below sea level. The
mine is absolutely dry. Re
frigeration is necessary by 500
horse power operating com
pressor, condensor and evap
orator —a plant costing over
$200,000.
Gold from South Africa sells
in London at a premium of
20 per cent. This is a hand
some profit to the gold mines
of the Rand. Were such an
inducement offered to the gold
miners of this country it would
increase gold production fully
one third in a year The pre
mium to the Crown Mines
company of South Africa now
means a gain of nearly $250,-
000 a month on its output and
the outlook is that this pre
mium will continue for sev
eral years.
Dr. Campbell was in Congress
on Xmas day and reports excel
lent cowboy sports and good mav
erick horses, broncho busters.
Many local cattlemen took part.
A swell turkey dinner and dance
were largely enjoyed.
Secretary Lane “peddles”
the following in his annual
report which ought to tickle
the oil operator:
“The oil industry is more distinctly
American than any of the great basic
industries. It has been the creation o
no one class or group, but of many
kinds—the hardy, keen eyed prospector
with a nose for oil, who spent his
months upon the deserts and up in the
mountains searching for seepages and
tracing them to their source; the rough
and two-fisted driller, a man generally
of unusual physical strength, who han
dled the great tools of his trade; the
venturesome wildcatter, part prospec
tor, part promoter, part operater, the
marine of the industry, soldier and sai
lor, too; the geologist, who thru his
study of the anatomy of the earthcrust,
could map the pools and sands almost
as if he saw them; the inventor; the
chemist with still and furnace; the gen
ius who found that oil would run in a
pipe; these and many more, in most of
the sciences and nearly all of the crafts,
j have created this great American in
dustry. If they are permitted they
will reveal the world supply of oil; and
j upon that supply the industries of our
| country will come to be increasingly
dependent year by year.
The new law imposing a
head tax on all live stock im
ported into the state for graz
ing will be vigorously fought
to a finish. A suit to prevent
collection of $1 a head for
cattle and 50 cents for sheep
and goats has already been
tiled in the Superior Court of
Mohave county.
A letter published elsewhere
today from the Director of
the IT. S. Survey to the edito.
of the State Miner says
but little if any research re
garding Arizona oil possibili
are obtainable from that de
partment. There are known
however, reports of private
i experts who have been over
the Wickenburg held, which
are considered very favorable
and it is li that additional
information will be obtain
able very soon by the de
partment which seems vitally
interested.
The railroads were NOT
! returned to the owners on
the Ist of January and with
transportation in the hands
of President Wilson the} 7 are
not likely to be, until condi
tions affecting the high cost
|of living and supplies are
I materially reduced. Mean
time politicians will be “nig
gering” with a scarecrow for
an appropriation to help the
j poor, maligned, downtrodden,
; rebating transportation-corn
. mercial robbers.
■ *•
Silver at $137 an oz. means
a profit of 12 cents on every
dollar melted into bullion.
Anyone who wants to melt
his wages down can do so.
There are surely many going
into the melting business; the
more there is melted up the
more this country will have
to pioduce. A ban will likely
occur on Mexican shipments
is thev are already stirred up
over there by heavy melting
of the poor people’s money.
All of this ought to inspire a
new impetus to opening up of
the Monte Cristo and other
known silver mines of Wick
enburg district.
There will soon be another big
scramble for the Rich Hill gold
diggings.
