WHERE WILL THEY STOP?

losis results from bad air and poor
food. Some people have 1t in spite
of the best conditions. but in most
cases it arises from preventable
things. So with evil and vice and
crime.
Once facing this fact squarely,
the home mission investigators will
be confronted with the question as
to whether poverty is preventable.
If they go to Adam Smith and
the old economists, the answer will
be that it is not; that God put us
on earth without provisions suf
f1cient for us all, and that degrade
ton and disease are natural
agencies for the killing off of the
surplus.
Believing in good God, the
home mission humanitarians will
reject this. They will then have to
take the happy o-lucky fool's-para-
disc attitude that somehow it will
come out all right if people are
good-or they will be forced to the
position that human misery in the
mass is caused by social NAL
adjustments, and that it can be
cured by institutional changes
which will cause wealth as it is
produced to flow into the hands
that make 1t, instead of the Golfers
of monopoly-and that will open
the earth to labor on terms of
justice.
And then the home missioners
will be up against it. They will
have an order for the general
prosperity omelet and they will be
afraid to break the monopoly egg.
For general prosperity, when it
comes. will demand the sacrifice
of unjust privilege, whether held
by the United States Steel Cor
poration, or Deacon Smith in the
amen corner. And it will be the
thought of Deacon Smith that will
impress the investigators most.

The home mission council. which

evangelical eAarvhes of the United
States. is reported TO have enter
Cd upon the most far reaching
movement for investigating the
causes of sin. poverty, vice and
crime ever undertaken.
II taken up fearlessly. unremit-
tingly. and with the unsuitable
resolution to follow truth wherever
1t leads, it might reveal the central
disease and change the complexion
of society.
The evangelical churches of this
country might really save the souls
not only of millions of the lost,
but of the nation itself, if it went
about this great task in this heroic
way.
But a new point of view will
have to be attained. Most comfort
able and pious people. in account
ing for the state of the uncomfort-
able an dimpious, do so by saying
that people are poor and miserable
because they are bad.
This Is not true. The real stu
dents of the matter know that men
are bad because they are poor and
miserable.
This is not always the case. You
can find instances everywhere Of
men running themselves by their
vices and weaknesses; but the vast
masses of poor and outcast all over
the world are not to blame. They
are foredoomed to their lost condi-
ton. Just as the men born on an
Iowa farm which he owns is fore
doomed to be comfortable and in
the average case respectable and
honest.
The home mission council prob
ably know this. They are aware,
no doubt, that vice and crime re-
suit from poverty. just as tubercu.

While the forests of this country
are being ruthlessly hewn down
and the lumber is sold even in
Canada more cheaply than Cana
dian lumber itself, our neighbors
OF the dominion are wisely accept
ing the cheap lumber and saving
their own forests for the future.
A proposition to impose a tariff
against the cheap lumber from the
states is anything but popular with
the Canadians.
"The cheaper We can buy lum-

argument. "and the sooner the

TRICT FOR 10000.

Thomas G. Lockhart, the Gold-
field mine operator, returned from a
trip to Manhattan Tuesday evening
and left yesterday for his home in
the southern city. During his stay in
the great placer camp, Mr.. Lockhart
purchased the Amethyst group of
claims from James w. Riggle for the
of 10000. This group contains
a great area of the placer gulch.
In conversation with a Bonanza
representative yesterday Mr.. Lock-
hart stated that in the near future a
large force of men would be employ
ed on this property and the develop
ments would be conducted in a sys-
tematic manner.
This sale is but one of the many

tive operations on a large and eco

DRY Wash Wilson has sold an
interest in his various leases to T.
G. Murphy, T. H. Cline and associates
of Goldfeld for a large considera.
ton and they have already taken
over the management and have be.
gun active development on practical
lines.
THE Plamanez lease, No. 2, on
Union 3, is truly a wonder and with
out stating the value of the ore per
ton it promises to be one of the
greatest leases in Nevada. The Shea
Putnam lease, No. 8, which joins the
Plamanez lease, is in ore that has
milled 1855 per ton on the plates,
and Mr.. Pullman says that the ore
which they have placed in the bins
and that is now blocked out will go
better than anything that has been
SO far milled in the camp.
Both these leases have been un-
der the eyes of certain capitalists
who have inspected the property and
believe that an offer of $4,000 for
these leases would be refused by the
owners.
The only lease on the Consoli-
dated is certainly in good ore as they
have an extensive ledge that will mill
better than $35. The Earle property
is now shipping ore to the mill that
will plate very handsome values as

From more extended conversation

also through Egan canyon, either of

ance to Ely and 1t has been suggest
ed that the citizens and property
owners in the city and district ought
to get together and secure the ter
minus of the road here beyond any
doubt and, If possible, offer some in
ducements to the road to come di-
rectly into Ely.
Friday and Saturday the engineers
spent the time looking over the III
try south from Ely with the idea that
a route might be secured through
Steptoe and Cave valleys by way of
Bullwhacker summit and the route
through Water canyon, south of
Ward mountain, will also he consid-
cred although 1t has been pronounced
impracticable by some.
That the dirt will be flying by the
middle of summer there is hardly a
shadow of doubt, as Mr.. Ryan is re-
ported to have stated positively that

survey. The enterprise is very i'm
portant to all eastern Nevada and
will bring a large section Of the state

result in developing other mineral

production of Nevada.

SURVEYING PARTIES
IN FIELD FOR NEW
ROAD
General Manager Ryan Orders Three
Parties Put to Work.

John Ryan, railroad builder and
general manager Of the "Borax''
Smith mining and railroad interests,
left on the morning train to return
TO the southern part of the state.
Yesterday was spent in conference
with Chief Engineer Rasor and Lo-
eating Engineer Van Derwerk re-
viewing their reports of reconnais-
sance work after which Mr.. Ryan
issued orders to put the first corps Of
surveyors on at this end immediate
ly. AS soon as 1t is in the field.
Mr.. Rasor will go to Goldfeld and
start another corps from there while
In all probability, another corps will
be sent to Current creek to work to-
ward Ely. Several routes will be run,
specially between Ely and Twin
Springs, east from Clifford, but from
Goldfeld to the springs, Mr.. Ryan
stated, the route had been decided
upon.
II will require about three months
to complete the surveys when they
VIII be submitted, with full data re-
garding the cost and statements of
the advantages and disadvantages of
route, to the board of directors
OF the company for the information
OF that body which will give the or
ders as to which route will be
chosen. The heaviest part of the
construction work will be more en-
cheering difficulties to overcome.
Mr.. Ryan, however, seems to favor
coming into Ely from the west and
down Robinson canyon.
Mr.. Ryan stated that when the
construction is ordered, he will not
let one big contract for building the
road, as is frequently done. but will
let 1t out in small sections to as
many men as he can get, giving them
from a mile or two up. according to
what the men wanting contracts can
accomplish. For this reason, the
time required to complete the road
