A Legal Newspaper of General Circulation for Nevada City and Nevada County, as defined by legal statute. Printed and published at Nevada City. Alma Ficon, Editor; Thos. F icon, Publisher 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. é Every article of merchandise in Conway’s Closing Out Sale REDUCED. in4 to 1-2 Editor Senior Reporer Sophmore Reporter, Jenevive Evans Florence Cerro THE HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Edited Weekly by the Students f Nevade City High School.

Bob» Tamblyn 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.

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 Played.

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.
