STRONG PLEA
FOR MISSIONS
DR.. w. II. SMITH BREACHES ELo-
oUENT SERMON AT FIRST
BAPTIST CHURCH.
HEROISM OF MISSION WORKERS
Comparison Made Of Amounts Spent
For Christ And other
Purposes

To a representative and very appre
ciative audience DR.. w. II. Smith. Ed
itorial Secretary of the Baptist Mis-
sion Board, of Richmond, Va, OF
Thursday night delivered an able ser.
mon on missions at the First Baptist
church. He took for his text John IL;
80: "And |. If I be lifted up from
the earth, will draw all men unto
Me-" The theme of his discourse
was the heroism of the missionary
workers. and the necessity for redoub-
led effort, more funds and more work
ers if the world is to be saved to
Christ. He made an eloquent and
earnest plea for foreign missions and
spoke of the great possibilities of the
laymen's movement.
DIR. Smith stated that the Christian
who participates in missionary work
is a hero; the most heroic thing that
one can do in this life is to make
sacrifices for the cause of Christ and
for the advancement of his kingdom
on earth The church that does not
magnify the cause of missions cannot
live Missions are the very founda-
ton of the church.
DR.. Smith gave a historical review
of missions from the Bible, beginning
with the prophesy in Genesis and
drew from it the conclusion that the
cause Of Christ would eventually tri-
umph. He said that the man who says
that he does not believe in missions
is a man who does not think.
The speaker exhibited maps and
charts to show the extent of the
heather and christian territory of the
world. One half Of the people of the
world are in utter darkness, having no
religion worthy the name, while of
the other half a very large per cent
does not have the true religion An
other chart was exhibited showing the
fields of missionary endeavor and fig-
ures showing the money spent by the
American people for missions and
other purposes were submitted. The
Americans, said DR.. Smith, spend ST.
500 900 for the cause Of foreign mis-
sions, while they spend $1000OO,OOO
for cigars and tobacco. In other words,
for every dollar that an American
spends on missions he spends 500
for smoking and chewing.
The speaker said that $4,000 men
and women missionaries would evan
geIize the world in this generation.
Russia and Japan could raise and
equip 100000 men to kill each other
and he said that the Christian world
ought to be able to raise and supply
and equip $4,000 missionaries to save
men and women. He spoke OF the
large standing armies Of the world and
the amount expended to keep them up
as compared with the amount expend-
ed for missions. !
Another chart was exhibited show
ing the wealth of the Christian peo-
pie and It was compared with the
contributions to the cause Of foreign
missions. He said that If the Chris
ton people of this Nation would give
one-tenth Of the increase OF their
wealth for missions the world would
be evangelical In twenty-five years.
He closed with powerful appeal to
the members to remember their con-
tributions to the board before May I.

what everybody said as left the Oper'
House Friday evening after witness
ing The Bohemian Minstrels. Th'
young men had planned wen and exc
cuted we'll There were none OF those
tiresome waits so common to amateur
I entertainments, and the programme
had not been heightened beyond rea
son, just to make room for some "fa'
yorite son" The curtain never went
down from start until finish, and there
was something doing all the while;
and it was all good. 1t was a clean
show, by a clean crowd of young men,
representing a clean and worth insti-
tuition, and their friends were all de-
lighted not only at the fine presenta-
tion of their initial performance, but
at the large crowd and cordial recep-
ton given them by the Columbia peo-
pie.
We cannot particularize each num-
Der; simply for the lack of space; sep
arately, individually and collectively,
they we're all good, and it would not
be fair to mention one, more than an
other We cannot forbear however,
to mention the accident that happened
to Lew Dockstader, buff O'Neill)
Lewis dressing maid had failed to bus
ton him up, and the crowd found 1t
out before Lew did, and the fun at
his expense was uproarous But the
young fellow backed off gracefully
and had himself renovated" and re-
turned to his part with the courage Of
trained veteran. O'Neill, all the
boys say, deserves most Of the glory,
for his untiring work and capable eff
fort as general manager The boys
are especially proud of their band
also, and they have perfect right to
be; and of course they would not at
tempt anything without Miss Herndon
as their coach"

tie hclders, has a double compart-
ment shaft down 10 feet, and have
about 100 tons of SIS ore on the
dump. The vein has an incline here,
and the shaft is being sunk on the
vertical. 1t will be run to the $50
foot level, whence prosecuting will
commence. Where the footwall has
been cut away, leaving the vein ex-
posed the rock is seen to be full of
black iron sulphates in which free
gold is plainly visible.
The Justice group, owned by the
Kielhofers, is but little further on,
and shaft is down fifty feet, on a
five-foot ledge of SIS ore. The walls
of this vein are exceptionally we'll de-
fined.
The Gold Reef group of claims are
undeveloped save as to assessment
work The lodges have been strip
ped and show an average value in the
conglomerate ore running $46 per
ton.
At the southeasterly corner of the
Gold Reef district is the Big Chief,
on which some active work is being
done by Mr.. Kielhofer. A shaft is
down some forty-five feet to date, on
a seven-foot vein of ore which is said
to average $2S clear across. The
ground level at the Big Chief is some
260 feet lower than the level of the
other claims, and here the rock is
materially different. 1t is more near
ly true quartz, filled with chloride
of gold, and with some silver values,
which seem to increase with depth.
This is a sulphide ore, and it is the
opinion of engineers that this is more
nearly the true character of the ore
which will be found>in the Gold Reef
properties as they reach depth.
, Some of the local railway people
are working claim called the Will
son mine in the Nevada Belle grouI

In the district, which is some five
miles long by four wide, are eight
properties now being actively de-
veloped, by either leasers, or by own
ers. Beginning at the northwesterly
corner of the district, the first work
ing is the Toggery, which is owned
by James and William Grimes and
C. Doherty. They are following a
fourteen-inch vein down, and are
now at a depth of eighty-five feet,
using horsepower within. They are
working five men in two shifts, and
one of the Grimes boys has been en-
ployed sacking and sorting ore from
the sagebrush roots. The ore is free
milling conglomerate-rhyolite, por-
phyry and quartz, with the quartz
element increasing as the shaft goes
down. The average value of the
fourteen-inch vein. which has well
defined and smooth walls, is $3.50
and there is plenty of it in sight. The
vein has gradual slope to the north
the shaft following it's incline. Pan
nings made of rock which came from
the shaft Sunday morning showed
rich colors in free gold, and if there
is much of that kind of ore at the
Toggery, it's owners have mint.
The White Wolf company east

down seventy feet, and it is now be
ing sunk with view of reaching tn

From surface indications and from
the ore being taken out in the shafts
which are already being put down,
Gold Reef is destined to be one of
the big and paying mining camps of
southern Nevada. The writer was
one of about thirty gentlemen who
went to Gold Reef Sunday for thor
ough inspection of this property,
which is just now in the development
stage, and who, despite the physical
discomforts of raw and windy day
thoroughly enjoyed the trip, thanks
to the kindness of Messrs. Bell and
Kielhofer, the promoters of the prop
erty, and the most excellent lunch
and cordial hospitality which the ex-
cursionists enjoyed at the hands of
Joe Simpson, the Gold Reef hotel
man, and his good wife.
Gold Reef is out the Golddeld

lona Hair a Mark of Honor.

Tn olden times excessively long hail was considered a mark Of honor and rank. For many centuries long hail was in France the distinctive mark of kings. The ancient Perslans and Par thlans of high caste wore long, flowing hair, while the poorer classes were obliged to cut theirs short. Homer speaks of the long haired Greeks b., way of distinction.
 The Gauls considered long hair s mark of honor, but Caesar oblIge'. them to cut 1t of in token of submis, sion.
