Make Lover of Country Sad.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. August 24.-G. w. San
ford of this city has received letter
from Judge William III. Taft. which gives
the republican presidential candidate S
views on the recent Springfield. ILL.,. riots.
The letter is in reply to a query addressed
by Mr.. Sanford to Mr.. Taft. 1t reads:
Hot Springs. Va, August 20.
"Mr G. w. Sanford.
My Dear Sir: l have your letter of Au-
gust IL in reference to the race riot at
Springfield Ill. Every good citizen in the
country must deplOre the fiendish work
of the disgraceful mob that has Wrought
the city of Springfield to sorrow. Such an
outbreak of lawlessness and bitter race
prejudice makes the lover of his country
sad 1t should nerve those in favor of
improving the administration of the crimi-
nal law to more earnest effort, because |
am confident that. if all charges of crime
were promptly Investigated and convicted
criminals punished. there would be much
less temptation to the formation of such
constituencies and cruel mobs as that
which ran riot in Springfield.
VERY sincerely yours.

Were Destroyed in Blaze Which
Started Yesterday.

CONSTANTINOPLE, August 81. - The

more than 1000 buildings were destroyed
A number of firemen and women and
children are reported to have been burned
to death. The homeless probably number
1000.
The fire started in the afternoon in the
Stamboul quarter and within a very brief
period terrible confiagration was raging.
A strong wind carried the flames at great
speed, and for six hours they swept over
the section.
Stamboul is in the Mohammedan part of
COnstantinOple. Within its walls are the
seraglio. the principal mosques. the
mausoleums of the sutans, the baths the
bazaars. the public offices of the govern
ment and the existing remains of ancient
Constantinople. 1t is divided. for admin
istrative purposes, into three municipa
circles and into large number of quar-
ters. Separate quarters are allotted to
the Armenians, the Greeks and the Jews
In 1860 the quarters were destroyed by
fire, and these have now been laid out

OF the Older streets is that of city built
of wood. Many of the buildings. however
are of much more solid construction.

stone.
StambOul covers the whole area inclos-
ed by the Theosian walls of Constantine

Gold Circle Mines

Mr.. A. " Reeves, one of the owners
of the Queen group of mines in the Gold
Circle district, gave us the following
items yesterday concerning that dis
trict: -
The Queen group has IA inches of ore
that assays $2s14 per ton.
Seven tons of ore from the Queen
group and sixteen tons from the Boyle,
the McNetton, Pyne and Weston lease,
were shipped from Golconda ON Novem-
Der 10th, and Mr.. Reeves went to Salt
Lake to see the ore sampled. T. D.
Ryan, manager of the lease, has also
gone to Salt Lake to take care of the
ore from the lease. ....
Three and one-half tons of the ore
from the Queen group is very high
grade ore and three and one half tons
will run about $175 per ton. g.. ID.
The Queen vein is showing strong
with we'll defined. foot wall, covered
with tale and very smooth showing
action.
The Jordon and Schenck lease on the
Great Western claim of the Queen
group is showing free gold in the quartz.
The owners of the Queen, Reeves,
Hager and Storey, are taking out about
twelve and onehalf tons of high grade
ore per day, drifting on their ore chute.
The gold in this rich vein can be readily
seen four feet away by candle light and
any handful of ore out of a sack will
show free gold without the aid of a
glass. The boys sold to Frank Winter
of Tuscarora the gold washed out of
a double handful of soft ore from this
chute for 1919 at 81; 40 per ounce.
The ore now being shipped is going to
the Pioneer sampler of Salt Lake.
When this shipment of ore reached
Golconda, it was guarded during the
night. Three lanterns were placed on
the wagon and man stood guard TO sec
that none of the ore was spirited away

NeVada'S Divorce Record

During the years bounded by 1887
and 1906 there were 1915 divorces
granted in the State of Nevada &C
cording to the statistics of marriage
and divorce recently issued by the
government: In 1900 the rate per 100, =
900 population in this state was III;
in 1880, 1906
Two-thirds of the total number of
divorces granted in Nevada in the
20-year period covered by this inves-
tigation were granted to the wife.
Without any reference to the question
of which party was the more frequently
responsible for the martial unhappiness
that led to divorce, it may be said that
the wife had legal ground for divorce
ore frequently than the husband
Cruelty, although not infreqnently the
ground for divorces granted to Nevada
husbands, was more generally existent
as cause for the wife's seeking a
divorce. Five DIVORCES for cruelty were
granted to the wife for every one grant
ed to the husband
Only ID per cent of the divorces were
returned as contested. Alimony was
demanded in 18 per cent Of the divorces
granted to the wife, and was granted in
1877 per cent. The average duration of
marriages terminated by divorce was
about 10 years. Children were reported
in 1913 per cent of the total number of
cases.-Reno Journal.

CONTACT, A GREAT CAMP

Every mining engineer examining
Contact, Elko county, Nevada, is conf
dent Contact will make the worlds
greatest copper camp. From the heavy
| investments now being made in Contact
mining properties by mining men of
long experience, it is generally conceded
that Contact will quickly make a great
er camp than Ely, Nevada, Bingham,
Utah, and Butte, Montana Most in
teresting about this opinion, is the pur-
chases in Contact of mining properties
are being made by mining men at
present interested in the previously
mentioned camps of Ely, Bingham and
Butte. What adds more wealth to the
Contact ores, as compared to those of
other copper camps. is the extra values
in silver and some gold.
The Oregon Short Line has decided to
begin the immediate construction of u
line from Twin Falls, Idaho, through
Contact, to point on the main line of
the Southern Pacific just west of Cobre.
Not only will this give good outlet for
the development of the country around
Contact. This road is being built
principally for the purpose of making
the Montana and Yellowstone Park
traffic several hundred miles nearer the
Pacific Coast by taking this cut off, in
stead of going first to Ogden, Utah, and
to furnish u new route for certain trans
continental traffic destined to Nevada
California points, by avoiding the very
much congested route ut present through
| Ogden.
The new townsite of Contact, which
will be on this railroad, and the Salmon
River, is owned by the Western Town
site Company, of Salt Lake City, Utah,
president. These TOWNSHIP lots will
shortly be offered for sale, in limited
number, on most favorable terms, and
parties in Elko, and other points in
Nevada who wish to apply for or pur-
chase one or more of these lots at Con-
tact, should call on or write Frederick
L. McGurrin, or Ii. w. Hammond
Commercial Hotel, Elko, Nevada , be-
tween now and December TO- 1908.
There is not any raason why these
lots at Contact, at $4,000. each, In easy
payments, should not make as com
J parative Il fortune for the owners as was
experienced in the other Nevada min
ing camps like Goldtield, Tonopah and
Ely. The life of u copper camp is much
longer than either gold silver or lead,
as millions of dollars must be invested
before a single dollar, in dividends can
be taken ont of the place.
