GOLDFlELD, NEV.

! The ladies of the parish of Goldfeld,
under the direction of Father Dermo-
| dy, are preparing to get out big spe-
| cial edition of the Chronicle just be-
fore Christmas for the benefit of the
! church building fund. This undertake
| ing is an arduous one, but the ener-
getic women who have it in hand are
equal to its demands. The plans for
the enterprise are not fully matured
but enough has been done to insure the
complete success of the special edi-
ton from both the journalistic and
financial viewpoints. Among those
actively interesting themselves are
Mesdame5 f. P. Patrick. l.. l.. Patrick,
7. V. Connell. j. c. Mccormack, ]. c.
Martin. NJ. Heating and the Misses
Pyne, Wood, Hart. Healy, Crockett,
Murphy and insolvency. Editors and
managers in the several departments
Will be chosen from these and other
volunteers. There is no lack of first
class material to select from. The Ia
dies of Goldfield never do things by
halves, and the present venture will
be no exception. Their complete sue
cess is predicted, and it is confidently
asserted that the special edition of the
Chronicle is destined to top everything
Of the kind ever attempted in the state
Advertising and subscriptions in graft
flying blocks are already pledged
Thousands of papers will be printed
and distributed, and when all is done
the Chronicle will be more widely
known than any publication ever issued
in Goldfold and the building fund of
the Sacred Heart church will be aug
mented by a substantial addition of
the indispensable commodity without
which neither newspapers can be run
nor churches built.
The mission to be opened by Fathers
McMullen and Carry in Sunday, Nov.
20. is attracting large interest, and it
is expected that the success which
crowned the efforts of the Jealous
Paulists in Reno and other towns of
the diocese will be duplicated in Gold
field. There is large Catholic popu-
lation and many broad-minded non
Catholics in the camp who will avail
themselves of the opportunity to hear
an eloquent exposition of the vital
teachings and practices of CathOlicity
