TO OUR READERS AND FRIENDS.
Though The Nugget’s world may be small, according to the
rule by which great things are measured, yet we, after six
‘week's of struggle with new enviroment,, new subjects to
“rite about, and an entirely new set of faces about us, feel that
we are going to weather the storm and find safe harbor.
The subject of mines and mining was at first like a Chinese
puzzle to us as we didn’t know a stope from a ‘tunnel, or a
"piece of quartz from a chunk of shale. The thought of going
‘down into the groundyeven though there was gold shining at
the bottom, made us shudder and grow cold. Now, however,
we are learning rapidly and day by day finding more and more
hhow important a place mining has in this wide world and how
very true it is that gold, alone, is the one and only real standard by which values are estimated.
Gold has been the lure which has “‘made”’ and “‘broke” many
millions. Gold is a gift of nature, but like many other gifts in
prospect, is mighty hard to get, and harder to keep after one
tdoes get it and as time passes the more remote and difficult of
atCcess are its places of hiding.
1 mining industry since its first inception has never
Seen at a standstill. There may have been slack times and the
weary prospector may have caught fleeting glimpses of the
gaunt wolf of want, but through it all, wars, famine, pestilence
and pitiful poverty and want the mining of gold as an industry
thas never ceased and today, taken as a whole according to the
statisticians, it pays 54 percent of all the freight on the railroads amounting to an investment of over twelve billions of
‘dollars; 22 percent of our federal income; and three hundred
and fifty millions every year for equipment and supplies and
at no time in the history of the world has the mining industry
shown more activity than at the present time, and at no time
thas greater returns been realized.
The lonely prospector, the lonely miner delving like a mole
uinder ground, deserves the greatest credit of all, and of all
soldiers of industry no class of laborers should stand higher
in the estimationof the people of the world than those who
have chosen to spend their lives underground i in the interest
of finance and furtherance of prosperity, not only to themselves, but to the world in general.
Nevada City i is essentially a mining town and the prosperity
of the mines in this district means the prosperity of the city
and every individual in it. It is a well known fact that mining
in this district is on the up grade and the outlook for the future
is bright indeed. Time was when this city was one of the best
known and most talked of mining centers in the United States
and who knows that those times may not again return to us and
this city once more become the Mecca of the investor and the
ssearcher for natures’ hidden riches.
To those who have been keeping in close contact with
the financial affairs of the world know the available gold supply
of the world is slowly but surely growing smaller and smaller
and that the time is rapidly approaching when a new and higher
standard will have to be placed on this precious metal by the
*governments of world powers. In fact, it was this very thing
that caused France, only a few short weeks ago to raid the
treasuries of the world for gold. She purchased millions of the
yellow metal and-stored it away in her vaults against the time
soon coming when a higher valuation will have to be placed on
this metal. England, Austria and Germany have already made
abortive assays at prodding Uncle Sam into holding a world
«conference for this purpose. And now what does that mean to
old mining camps like Nevada City? It will mean the opening
up of long unused prgperties and the developing of low grade
‘properties that will scarcely pay at present with gold at the
present price per ounce, but with raised or increased valuation
vof gold per ounce will set every one of them to work once more
and the hills surrounding such camps will become a hive of industry. And this is not a dream of the far future. It is a coming
reality.

WHY NEVADA CITY
NEEDS: FOOTBALL
Nevada City High School has sa
one fundamental sport—basketball.
The reason other sports: are lacking
is because of lack of equipment.. Every one says, “costs too much for
equipment.” It can’t cost so very
much or: schools smaller than ours
couldn’t have it. If,-then, equipment
is the cause, let’s get going and get
some for the most popular sport of,
high schools and colleges, everywhere
today—football.
Football is a game requiring skill
and foresightedness. It develops:
growing bodies, puts zest and interest in school life. Everyone knows
that if a person likes doing a thing
how much better the thing is done,.:
be it work or play.
Everybody is clamoring for football, other schools smaller than ours
have it, why can’t we?
Boys to participate in any sport,
must make non-objectionable grades
or marks in their other studies, so,
in wanting to play football, all boys’
grades would’ be higher, an extra
honor for the school, besides the
honor of winning the football games

16TH RADIUM VICTIM
East Orange, N. J.—The death of
Mrs. Anna Stasi was the sixteenth
fatality traced directly to radium
poson. In 1918 a watch company employed a force of 116 women and
girls to paint watch and clock dials
with radium paint. Soon sickness deVeloped among these workers and at
last scientists traced the illness,
which was proving fatal to many of
the workers directly to the radium
paint they were using. The workers
had the habit of moistening the tip
of their brushes with the “end of
their tongue and from this source
the poison entered their systems. The
company has been sued by several of
the former; workers and are now in
court fighting heavy damage cases.
