DAILY NEVADA STATE JOURNAL TEMJBBDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 4 1HO Daily Nevada Slate Journal POWNING Editor and Proprietor AMEX OWNERSHIP MINES Congressman Carter of Montana made a speech a few days ego in favor of amend ing our laws so that alens would not be de barred from securing ownership of mineral lands in the territories He argued tba there wrs a distinct difference between the ownership of agricultural lands and th ownership of mines In this fa wns cei bitily correct When capi talists or any other capitalists for that mat ter are cure large tiacts of land tnes shut out American families from opportun ity to found independent homes but when capital is turned into mining devel opment employment is furnisfaedto a mul titude of men at rales of wages which en able them to live tn comfort and proper! educate their children It is right and proper to preserve the land of the country from foreign ownership so that American citizens can found homes upon it but mineral lano comes tinder a different class of rules A tract of mineral land is practically goo 1 fur nothing unless a valuable mine i fouud brneath its surface and the openii and working of the mine is in all respects so far as the questions at issue in this dis cussion is touched like the operation of a factory Nobody cares where the monet com rt from that founds a factory nor how much of it may be launched iu the enter prise 'lhe important fact to the commu nity is that an industrial establishment has be founded which will furnish employ ment for workers and add to the aggregate of public Wealth If we had sufficient American capital available open nil the mines says the Aspen Times in all the States and Terri tories there might be some reason for op posing 'he advent of capital from abroad Hut the time will never come at least not for many geneiatious when it will not be of great benefit the United States to re ceive an influx of foreign wealth The re sources of the country have scarcely been touched and the important problem now is to them developed Every factory es tablish and every mine opened increases the ware earning and wea tb producing power of the nation while every dollar brought from foreign shores and put into such euterpi is is so much added to the grand aggregate of wealth It may be argu that it' is a disadvan tage to have the pr fits of such enterprises carrte I away from the country To som extent this is true but the benefits secured far more than over lahce this contra side of the account But it is also true that foreigners who make money in American ent rpii es will re iuvest their profits in the country where the have met with such success and since the op ortunities for such re iuvestmeut are practically without limit it is altog tber probable that for a long course of years iu ad tition to secur ing the original capital we will in one way or auother retain the major part of its in crement SUDDENLY STUPID New York hankers have lately been in terviewed on the subj ct of the new silver coinage law and its effects on trade and comm rc Very many of these financiers of the financial center of America sys the Gruss Valley Telegraph are declutii that is yet too enrly to predict tbe effects of the silver law But ju before that act became a liw those financiers were ready enough and quick enot gh with their pre dictions and they said that dire rui'J and misery would pervade the land and that prosperity would forever keep her face away ftom Aruetic i and only smi'e on thoe nations that bal the single gold etandurd for money And now when their bad re sults as predicted do not take place those eminent financiers are hesitating as to fur ther predictions It is curious to see bow wise men get stupid all ut once This is perhaps because the wise mtn were not so really wise And with other things besides tbe silver law it has oft been shown that statesmen and experts can see jiii about as far ahead as to the effects of a measure as can common people Theories of the best construction are often overthrown by the simplest kind of facts United States Guatemala Mizner was shot at on the 2d inst by a daughter of General" Barruudia who was killed in tbe cabin of the Am ncuo vessel Acapulco at San Jose de Guatemala last week while resisting arrest by the Guate mala authorities A book which the Min ister held tn front of him received th bullet and doubtless saved bis life The woman accused our Minister with being the cause of her death by ordering the captain of the Acapulco to deliver lhe fugitive General up to tbe Guatemalan government To unfamiliar ears my sound better than but it is really the old enemy under a new name Beading between the lines of the rport of Henry Georg reception in New York and tbe meeting of the Single Tax Convention it appears to be a Democratic movement in so thin a disguise that it will hardly de ceive any intelligent and intere ted rcrde Either there lias been previ ly a greater difference of opiifou Wall street regard ing the silver question than has been gen erally supposed or a conversion has taken place there Some of tbe most prominent financiers how say that the new silver leg islation is likely to prove a good thir Perhaps eome'of them are wise after the fact and indorse what they cannot help ah let me see what do yon rive tot a cold on the chest asked Jones a sort of indifferent tone of a doctor

Constitutional Convention to decide We have written to this eff ct we believe ini stated that it was only Legislative action that can make the change Lyon County Tim If a Constitutional Convention should be ailed and a new Constitution adopted in arhieh the boundaries of tbe severs! coanties of the State of Nevada should be fixed the consolidation of counties would bs a meas ure for a Constitutional Convention to de cide provided the instrument should ratified by tbe people st the polls the Iouhnal and Times to the contrary not withstanding Elko Independent The Journal has never asserted that it would not be in the power of a Constitu tional Convention to form a Constitution in which the fixing of the eonnty bound tries might be included It has said how ever and it still maintains that such mat ters are properly the work of our State gislature and that they would be out of place iu a Constitutional Convention Chers is moreover as little likelihood of a Nevada Convention proposing such a thing as that it will name a Governor who shall hold the office for life and that the person named will be the editor of tbe Elko Inde It is a very good suggestion thrown out by the Boise Statesman that the proprietor ship and management of the great Sho shone alls Idaho should piss into the hands of the general government where this magnificent spectacle could be cared fgr as iu the Yellowstone National Park in the State of Wyoming Something should certainly be done in this direction and Idaho herself has all the burdens at pres ent that is cap ble of bearing up under The reinatkable group of wonders stand around Sh ishone alls should not be left to the desecration and vandalism which will certainly follow without govern mental control of some kind The Ogden Democrat has been reduced from a seven to a five column paper There is great improvement however in its make up and having dispensed with its plate matter it gives its readers the same amount of

until two days preceding race Dashed to Death A Suggestion to the Timber and Lumber Men on the Sierra In the great forests of Gallicia electricity is employed in felling trees The method and application is thus described in the Electric Review: tool used for comparatively soft woods is a form of auger which is moved to and tro and re volved at the same time by a small electric motor Tbe tool and motor are mounted on a carriage which turns on a vertical axis secured by an arm to the trunk of the tree The auger or blade describes an arc making a deep cut in the trunk operating much in ftie same manner as a morticing machine The tool is gradually advanced after each half turn around the trunk thus deepening the cut until it reaches about half the diameter of tbe tree wedges are then inserted to pre vent the rift from closing up and the other side of the trunk is operated npon until tbe tree is nearly cut through The job is then finished off with an axe or a handsaw In this manner tbe work of felling trees is accomplished with great rapidity and a very small amount of Not Settled Yet The Truckee Republican says: Republican stated last Wednesday that the Railroad Company had agreed to grant tbe demand of the trainmen for an increase in wages The port was premature and was taken from a San rancisco paper The fact is there is a hitch in the proceed ings the Riilroad Company seeking to gain time The officials do not seem willing to acknowledges th authority of the Brotherhood to bind its members and desire that all of the trainmen be represented The Company officials say that they are willing to make concessions but propose to make the con cessions to their employees as individuals and not as members of brotherhoods This is liable to cause trouble for if the brother hoods are not to be recognized as such they might as well disband We believe that the ederation will fight in order to maintain the integrity of the order ootrace Squabble in Court Tba case of urlong vs the Bullion fc Exchange Bank in which plaintiff seeks to recover the $500 forfeited to Dr Reed in tbe Dobbins Rosenthal footracing agree ment says the Carson Tribune was sub mitted this morning to Judge Wells who promises to render a decision in ide a of week Very able art! ingenious arguments were made in the case by Messrs Wood bum and Tor eyson for plaintiff and Bowley Jr for the Bink or rather Dr Reed who is really the party in interest he having given the Bank an indemnity bond on forfeiture of the money A New Mining District New mines have been discovered about 28 miles from Wadsworth near Winne mucca lake which is on the line between Humboldt county and Washoe The dis coverers are Andy Russell and Charles Wasbeim of Wadsworth and with Messrs Crosby and Buckland of that place they have located several claims One ol the ledges is said to be eight feet wide and some specimens of the ore assay $180 to the ton in silver Engineer Hampton brought some samples of the ore here which old miners eay are rich Bishop Will The will of Bishop in years past well known in the legal and political his tory of the Comstock recently deceased in San rancisco was filed in the Probate Court in that city on Tuesday Deceased left an estate valued at about $9500 con sisting of a residence on Broderick street near Mailer and an interest in tbe law firm of Bishop Watt It is

will practice his profession at the city of Seattle in connection with ex Judge Sum King Mr Lindsay is a self made man in tbe common acceptance of the term but nature did very much for him in enabling him to make use of the early education he received and after sowing the wild oats of early life fitting himself to become a useful as well as or namental member of the State of bis adoption A natural musician orator and actor has gone to the new progres ive State and the Tribune fe Is certain that he will be not only well received at the coming metropolis of the Northwest but that his talents as a lawyer will insure him success A There will be a called convocation of Reno Lodge No 13 A held at Masonic Hall Reno Nevada on Saturday Sept 0 at 1 o'clock sharp for the purpose of attending thefuneral
