NEVADA A MINERAL EMPIRE

The greatness of Nevada as an
empire of mineral wealth is
scarcely realized. by the MAORI ty
of people within its borders, and
much less so by others. Practically
every commercial and precious
metal under the sun is found in
abnormal quantities, and while the
state is already making an
enormous production and it's
resources ceing developed on
extensive lines, the territory that
is being exploited is infnitesimal
to the total of the mineral area.
Nevada now leads all other states
IN the production of gold; and
its copper mines could lead the
world. Its silver and Lead mines
are seemingly inexhaustible, and it
fairly revels in zinc, tungsten iron,
cinnabar and other metals.
Nevada boasts of some of the
greatest and purest sulphur
deposits in the word, and its
acreage of saline lands. containing
immens deposits of borax, soda,
salt, ETC., is extensive enough to
alone make a large sized state.
These lands have scarcely been
exploited, but will some day be
come basis of a leading industry.
The mining of barytie is an
infant industry that is now beginning
to attract earnest attention on the
part of capitalists, and the marble
quarries that are now being
developed are furnishing q
product Of the highest quality and
in great variety.
There seems little doubt that
oil will be developed in large
quantity with proper effort, for
several very promising fields have
already been discovered ind
explored to some extent, and have
demonstrated excellent prospects.
Good deposits of coal have been
discovered in various par ts of the
state and in time will he fully
developed although at the present
time they are receiving but little
attention.

THE EPISCOPAL
CHRISTMAS PARTY

The teachers and officers of the
Episcopal Sunday school gave their
youngsters q Christmas party last
night at Leonard Hall. The hall
was handsomely decorated with
bunting ard Chinese lanterns and
Christmas cheer was in the air.
The children entertained their
friends with songs recitations and
drills for a time and then the floor
was cleared and they put in more
time dancing. After the dance,
ice cream and cake were served to
all. =
All this time a Christmas tree,
glittering with decorations. stood
on the stage behind the curtain.
When the ice cream and cake had
disappeared, the curtain rose and
each child was given popcorn and
candy. .f
The party broke up about half
past ten and all the youngsters went
home as happy as happy could be
and wishing that Christmas came
oftener than once a year.

Tuberculin Test Case Heard In
Police court.

From the Washington Star of Tuesday.
Argument in the case of George 7. Wells,
the first resident of the District to be pros
ecuted for refusing to allow his cattle to be
subjected to the tuberculin test in viola
ton of the regulation of the Commissioners,
was begun before judge Pugh in the Police
Court today.
The question of whether the District
had the right to force test where the
cattle's products are used only by the
owners family was raised by the court
when the case was filed about two weeks
ago.
The argument is proceeding under an
agreed statement of facts. November 20
last DIR. Hubert Young, of the District
Health Department and DIR. b. 7. Wood
ward, of the Department of Agriculture,
called at the defendants home in Uni
versity Park to test a COW In this they
were prevented by Wells upon the ground
that the animal was not in proper physi-
cal condition at the time to properly re-
act from the tuberculin Repeated efforts
on the part of the two veterinarians to
make the test were fruitless and the
owners prosecution followed.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Stephens,
| who framed the regulation, in his argu-
ment for the District declared the defend
ant claim was an abstract right as the
test could not injure nor deprive him of
the use of his property. On the other
hand, he said the benefits revealed by the
test would be of widespread benefit to the
District at large. irrespective of whether
or not the milk were used by the owner s
family or sold. He declared the law was
tenable, and compared it TO the cOmpul-
sorry vaccination law with respect to the
school children of the District.
At the conclusion of the argument of Mr..
Stephens late this afternoon, Judge Pugh
rendered verdict of guilty and at the
suggestion of the prosecuting attorney re-
leased defendant upon his personal recog-
nizance upon condition that he allow the
inspecting veterinarians to proceed with
the test in the course of day or So The
defendant was not represented by counsel
and allowed his case to rest on the as
sumption that in refusing to permit the
test he was acting within his rights in the
control of personal property

Warning From Fire Underwriters.

AS the Christmas holidays approach and
stores are being deliberately decorated and
Illuminated and families are preparing for
the customary Christmas tree and garden
adornment and special lighting. Fire Uu-
derwriters are sending out warning that
they will not be responsible for any losses
resulting from increased risks to property
through these sources, except by special
arrangement This arrangement generally
takes the form of higher premium, which
is ordinarily paid. The warning says, in
part
The Association of Fire Underwriters
feels compelled to call the attention of the
public to the dangers to life and property
from Christmas displays, decorations, signs,
etc, in churches, public buildings, mercan-
tile establishments, and especially depart
ment stores. The use of Christmas green's,
harvest specimen and other infiammable
materials, such as scenery, cotton to rep
resent snow and the like Especially in
connection with the electric and other
lighting systems) is decidedly an increase
of hazard. it being impossible to make
displays of that nature perfectly safe.
THE making of such displays would,
under strict Interpretation, render the
contract of insurance void, unless the policy
is Endorsed with a special permission for
the increased hazard, which will generally
be granted only in consideration of an ad-
ditional premium commensurate with the
hazard.
mo additions, alteration OF repairs shall
be made in the system of wiring, lamps or
any portion of the electric system without
notice being given to the Fire Underwriters
and an additional permit granted for such. ="
In addition to the danger to property
from displays, the Underwriters call atten-
ton to the danger to life in crowded stores
or places of meeting by reason of panic
occasioned by fire, even though it be
small and easily controlled.
