gree of Importance in connection
with the affairs of our town.
In giving this narrative, it might
perhaps be we'll to make some men,
tion of the founder of the Draper
Clubs and of the primary purpose
of their organization.
DR.. Andrew S. Draper, the 1st.
Com. Of Education for the State
of New York is one of the most
foremost educators of the day. He,
himself was educated at the AL
bany Academy of law receiving bis
degree in 1871. Since that time he
has occupied positions at the head
of many of the educational institu-
tions of New York, Ohio, Illinois
and Wisconsin
A number of year ago he became
interested in the idea of home edu-
cation and under his supervision
course has been complied CON-
mencing with the kindergarten
and advancing with the child until
the mind reaches maturity cover
ing the best of the music litera-
ture and art of the day. This
course is being presented to the
public through clubs which are
being organized in every state in
the union from Boston on the At
lantic to San Francisco which views
the smiling Pacific, until now there
are about 100 such organizations.
In Kansas City where the course
is published there are 1000 men,
bers; in Oklahoma there are 800.
The state Of Nevada has three
organizations of which Elko was
the first.
On November Is, 1912 ten wo-
men met at the home cf Mrs Nc
Bride and under the instruction of
Mrs Slaughter, organized the Elko
branch.
From time to time new members
have been added until now the
roll call is answered by ninteen
women.
The primary object of the Club
is Self Improvement, but this is not
tho orIy aim
All civic questions are of inter.
est to us and we hope to stand for
the better side in all such ques-
tjons
During the recent session of the
Nevada Legislature, the Draper
Club in a telegram to the Elko
County Contingent voiced it's ap-
proval of the revised divorce law.
This action on the part of our
club was reported to the manager
for this district, who in turn has
had notices sent to each Draper
Club in the United States advising
them of the stand taken by this
club, which we feel Is that of the
representativ e women of Nevada.
Likewise we protested against the
passage of the gambling introduc-
ed tn the assembly which was
tabled after the second reading.
The Club feels great interest
in municipal affairs and most
earnestly desires the betterment Of

CORRECTION ABOUT HILLTOP

ileo On information which 1t had
good reason to believe as absolute
ly correct. This letter clears the
matter up and is published in full in
order to do exact justice to the
coming camp of Nevada. 1t has
been our desire to boost all worthy
mining enterprises and Hilltop, is
not to be an exception. Neither
the company or Mr.. Gilmore knew
anything of the article complained
TO and gave US no information.
The supposed facts came to US
from an independent source which
was taken as an item Of general
news.
We were genuinely desirous of
helping Mr. Gilmore and the COM
pany from which he obtained his
lease and regret that we were mis-
led into saying that The Philadel-
phia Western is a holding company.
The Kimberly Consolidated being
the parent Company has a lively
interest in mining conditions at
Hilltop and we take much pleasure
in setting that company right be-
fore the public.
Philadelphia, Pa. May "a, 1913.
The Daily Independent,
Elko, Nevada.
Gentlemen:-
In your daily issue of May ID
and weekly issue of May I6 the
copies uf which please forward to
us, you have an article in regard
to this company. the Philadelphia
Western Mining Company. and Har-
ry Gilmore, who operates the lease
on the Philadelphia Western prop
erty. In this article we find you
have made several misstatements
which are an injustice to this COM
pany, liable to create wrong i'm
preston and we trust you will
Ea&eqy this error by publishing a
correction. The mistatement occur
ed in paragraph Of the article
whicn we quote as follows:--
when the Kimberly CONSOLIDATE
ed was ON its last legs the Philadel-
phia Western Mines Company was
organized and become a holding
Company for the various Kimberly
Holdings. This Company has gone
on in connection with its Subsid-
iary companies and through evil
and good report, and all kinds of
unforeseen troubles including vexa-
tioUs litigations is emerging from
the dust and dirt with a reputation
unsullied and a name untarnished.
The Philadelphia Western is making
good and unless all signs fail, will
yet become one of the important
gold producers of Nevada Keep
you eye on Hilltop and watch il
progress in the mining world"
The Kimberly Consolidated Mines
was in bad condition financially
and morally for long time, was
brought to life again by Philadel-
phia people who obtained control
and put the Company on its feet.
1t is now very much alive and do
ing business. The Philadelphia
Western Mining Company was new
er holding Company and never
took over any Of the Kimberly
Consolidated claims or properties.
The facts in the case are these:-
In March 1911, syndicate of
Philadelphia men purchased the
controlling intcrest in the Kimber-
ly Consolidated Mines Company
which owing to the mismanage-
met, ,had gotten In very bad con-
fhtf0h. After the legal tangles
were Strengthened out, large sums
Of money were spent for develop
meDt and improvement of the prop
cites controlled. which consist of
Philadelphia Western Mining Com
pany owning ten claims; Nevada
Hilltop Mining Company owning
six claims; Golden Rule Extension

BALANCED RATIons FOR COW
Department Of Agriculture Gives Out
Report Of Experiments Made at
the Illinois Station.


A report showing the difference In
value Of Q balanced and unbalanced
ration for cows according TO expert
ments made recently BY the Illinois
station has reached the department OF
agriculture.
Nine COWS fed for l3l days nu-
tritivs ratio Of 1.6 consumed 50.S3 Of
digestible matter per 100 pounds OF
milk. A similar lot fed nutritive ra-
tion OF LII required 6S.14 pounds Of
digesibie matter per 100 pounds OF
milk produced. The total amount Of
milk produced Tor the two herds was
3s.393 and 1s.Sas1e pounds of milks.
respectively. Ths nrst lot consumed
1879 pounds and the second lot 1892
pounds Of dtgestible nutrients per
pound Of milk fat produced. The ra-
tions consisted Of corn silage. clover
hay. and ground cats supplemented by
gluten fed In tho narrow ration and
timothy hay In the vide ration. Be-
cause of the hck of protein In the "a
ton fed lot :, the other nutrients were
not used to the best advantage. This
shows In . strtking manner that an
excess Of carbohydsatss can not be
made to take ths Tlaes of . deficiency
in protein.

WOMAN STARVED TO DEATH.

Yonkers, N. ", May 10. In the
spacious residence occupied by her
self and her brother on fashionable
residence street here, Ada Dunscomb,
a middle aged spinster, was found
dead last night a victim Of starva-
ton, according to Coroner Dunn.
There was no food in the house. The
authorities stepped into the case
when a physician whom Whitney
.Dunseomb, Jr., go years old, the
womans brother, had summoned,
found Miss Dunscomb dead on
couch in her bedroom, her body clad
in rags.
The Dunscomb residence has been
a house of mystery to the neighbors
for the 12 years since the family
moved here, the blinds always being
drawn, no servants being employed
and no one ever being seen to visit
the mansion.
