One of the Prime Leaders In Big Pro-
motion Propositions That Make

critics

In every mining camp you will find a
number of promoters, and larger
number who would be. The promoter
is a man who does things, not alone IN
making fiotations for any old wild
CATER can make fotations in sue
cessful mining camp, but 1t takes the
man we'll able to cope with large affairs
to make the flotation and then develop
the properties In which not only he is
interested but others whom he has in
fiuenced to take a monetary interest in
his enterprises.
Goldfeid Is known to have the best
''bunch" of promoters of any great
camp established In the last quarter
of a, century. and it may be said that
the men controlling the business IN
terests of the town are exceptionally
straight and brilliant, not with the
polish of civilization, be 1t remembered,
but rather that of the diamond in the
rough.
Among the many who have made
good not only in Goldfeld, but by
reason of having interested OUTSIDE
capital as well, p. r. Argenslnger
stands out prominently, for when he
makes q promotion that means the de-
velopment of the property as well. How
often in the history of other camps,
and to a very limited extent it may be
made on prospects that were exception
ally good, and the only reason in the
world why they were not made valuable
property, dividend payers, was simply
because the money secured on the flo
tation was diverted to other purposes
than into the ground, where every
shareholder in mining proposition ex-
poets his money to be placed until
the property is on dividend-bearing
basis.
Big List of Properties
1t will be interesting to the readers
to read the list of the properties pro-
NOTED by Mr. Argeusinger and their
present standing among the people who

The Combination Fraction Leasing
and Mining company was capitalized at
$1,000,000 with shares par value at 81
each, and as the ground being worked
by this company is right in the heart of
the high grade" district, sidelining
as it does the great Jumbo, endlining
at one the "Oddie Lease" with the
"Arnold Lease" at the other end and
sidelining on the other side with the
Combination Fraction and Florence
properties. In other words, 1t is located
almost in the center between the Com
bination Fraction, the Florence, the
Jumbo and the Mohawk, and as the
company has sufficient ground to work
in will catch one of the ledges at least
of the four big ones upon which these
mines are located. The property is
equipped with engine house, 20-horse
power hoist, with an elegant equipment
of mining machinery. The gallows frame

Speculator and Gambler

In his new book 1.-The Nature Of
Capital and Income" Irving Fisher,
professor of political economy, Yale
university makes the following dis
tinction between the speculator and the
gambler: "a gambler" writes the
author, "seeks and makes :Isk which
it is not necessary to assume, whereas
the speculator is one who 1.erely vol
unteers to assume those risks of busi-
ness which must inevitably fall some
where" We doubt if the difference
has ever been more concisely and ac-
curately distinguished.-The Public,

Special to The Herald.
RHYOLITE, New, March 16.-Curtis
Mann was one OF the early pioneers
Of Rhyolite and working here as base
acquired and controls properties in al
most all of the various camps sur
rounding He was one of the first To-
Gators in the Lee district on the Lee
Nevada side and at present holds very
desirable property. He also got into
Greenwater very strong, owning and
controlling somewhere in the neiph-
borhooo of fifty claims. and in tba
Willow Greek his interests are renreS
sented In a number of the best claims.
Among the companies which he Dro-
noted is one known as the "IIappv
Hooligan Mining company" which at
present has about 100000 worth of ore
blocked out and has one of the best
working plants Of machinery in the
district, with everything generally
looking extremely good.
Developing Mines
"Homestake Extension Mining COM
pary" is another, the property lying
a little east of north of the Homestake
Mining company, comprising five
claims, showing very strong vein on
the surface with values from 50 to
SIC per ton. The development is being
conducted by means of a crosscut tun-
mel which will tap the vein at 5f0 .eet
giving 400 feet of backs. The tun.
mel is now in 375 feet and is getting
very encouraging values. They have
an air compressor and machine drills.
about the second to be installed in the
district. The property is owned by a
very strong group of eastern capital
lists and himself. The property is gem
erelly looked upon as one of the COM
ing big producers of the district.
Another of his promotions, perhaps
little known, but one, nevertheless. Of
vital Importance to the welfare of Rhy-
olite, was the Indian Springs Water
company, which made it possible to
have a town.
Up to date Mr.. Mann has only iden-
tilted himself with mining and promo
tion, but recently he has associated
himself with r. B. Whittemore, the
company being known as the Mann
Whittemore company, and from now
on they will do a general brokerage
business.

An important meeting of the officers of
the uniformed rank of the Modern Wood
men of America was held last night at
the residence of Robert Berry, 1853 Summer
avenue, adjutant of the battalion. The
most important business transacted was
the permanent alignment of the various
camps in the battalion formation. 1t was
decided to form the battalion according to
seniority of camp numbers In other words
the first camp to be instituted will occupy
the right of line and succession, according
to organization.
At a meeting to he held next week a
report Of the special committee that has
been looking for q battalion headquarters
will be made. 1t is said that a place in
the vicinity of the -Four Corners will be
chosen.
Morristown Camp has been added to the
battalion, but as yet no effort to include
Paterson has been made. At present the
battalion is made up of the following
camp teams; New York City, Essex,

Some non-Catholics said the Catholic
Church was not Christ's church now, be-
cause there had been scandals In Its his
tory and men high up had been false to
God. There had been, Father Stanton
said, and there was a Judas among the
apostles, and he was a traitor in the pres
ence of Christ on earth. But that didn't
condemn the faithful apostles. If one
member of the United States Supreme
Court was corrupt 1t did not follow that
the whole court, a human institution, was
corrupt. Because a few men high in the
American government might prove false
to their trust, the entire government was
not a failure.
The Roman Catholic Church was a divine
institution, Father Stanton said, and that
1t wa divine was proved by the fact that,
In spite of centuries of bloody wars and
bitter persecution, that church camesdown
through the ages the most powerful of all
Christian churches, and was stronger to-
day than ever, had more millions of faith
full members than all other Christian
churches, and in this grand free country
it was growing by leaps and bounds.
Father Stanton quoted the Protestant his
torian Macauley, who said the Catholic
Church saw the days of the gladiators and
martyrs to the faith crunched to death in
the arena of pagan Rome, had made that
Rome its seat of government for CEN
turtles. the greatest centre of Christianity.
ar'cauley also wrote that the Catholic
, ,rch had seen the mighty republics of
Venice and Rome rise, flourish and decay;
had seen many Kingdoms and empires fall
into ruin, and kings and emperors rule and
then pass into the tomb.
Father Stanton then quoted Macauley's
famous description of the New Zealander,
who. in the far future, would set on
a broken arch of London bridge gazing at
the ruins of st. Paul's Cathedral, and
then Maccauley asked, who would dare to
say that the great Roman Catholic Church
would not at that time be the mightiest
inuence in the world. as it had been for
centuries. Father Stanton urged his hear
ers to study the history of their great
church and to live so as to do 1t honor.

OUT OF
JOB
Writ to Compel Bridge Com.
mittee of FreehOlderS to
Reconsider Case Refused.

In a decision rendered by Chief JUS
tice Gummere, in the Supreme Court
Circuit today, a rule to show cause
why a writ of certiorari should not be
allowed reviewing the action of the
joint committee on bridges of the
Board of Freeholders naming Charles
w. Speer. was refused.
Speer was an engineer OF the Clay
street bridge, and when the Democrats
got into power on the Board of Free
holders he was removed. He tried to
retain his job on various grounds. one
of them being that he was a Spanish
American war veteran. Speer was
backed by Camp Mitchell, S.A. w. ",
of which he is a member.
Those who opposed the writ argued
that the meeting which resulted In
Speer's dismissal was illegal, and the
court upheld that contention. The date
of that meeting was March 20 last.
The court said that the contention
that the meeting was illegal because
the director of the board was not pres
ent was void, because the presence of
hat official was not necessary.
There was nothing in the law, the
court said, which requires the pres
ence of the director to make a meet
ing valid.
"It has beer suggested" added the
court, that this committee did not
have the power of removal because the
meeting was not a legal one, as it had
not been properly called. There is no
evidence to justify that contention. I
think tina it was a melting prime facie
and refuse to allow the writ"
