4. C. Ellis, Jr., a director OF the
Montana onopah, is credited with
saying that the mine now presents a
wonderful showing and with the com
pletion of the railroad into camp, it
will make a record for production
that will satisfy the most skeptical
concerning its merits. At a cost
approximating $40, 600 per month,
Mr.. Ellis believes the mine to be
capable of producing at the rate o.
50, 800 or more per day. In other
words, when everything is in ful
swing, the company will be earning
dividends at the rate Of at least 81,
600, 900 a year.

Bishop Satterlee today. at the ninth an

other things he said:
Dangers have arisen that the nine

from. simplicity pervaded the social
atmosphere; men were classed for what
they were, not for what they pro-
fessed.
In the twentieth century the tone of
life In Washington has become less
natural, social conditions have changed,
and for the worse. New residents, Of a
wealthy and leisure class. who hold no
responsibility for the welfare of the
community, create a sense Of careless
responsibility in our citizens.
These have false ideals and make
social pleasure the business of life.
Their influence percolates to all classes,
and saps the foundation Of character
Simplicity Is Dead.
