But it was not until he was five
months old and crawling over every

music that possessed the little soul
became known, and then only through
accident. One morning the baby
crawled into closet, and. discovering
an old violin that had belonged to
Mrs. Stoddard's father, calmly took
possession of it and began giving an
impromptu concert. He had the vio-

with both feet and hands. And out

SLATON DOUBTS
RIGHT To PAY
TEACHERS
Governor Asks Opinion on Amend
ment Purporting to Add Power
in Expenditures,

Governor Slaton has grave doubts
whether the recently ratified consti-
tutional amendment purporting to in
crease the Executives borrowing
power has not really put a limitation
upon his powers rather than extended
them.
So serious are these doubts in the
Governors mind that he has referred
the matter to the Attorney General
for an opinion, and will not under
take to do anything in relieving the
present situation with respect to pay
ing the common schoolteachers until
his mind has been cleared up by that
official.
If the amendment has fully author
lied the Governor to proceed to the
relief of the teachers, unquestiona-
bly, he will give the matter that d.
rection, but the peculiar wording OF
the amendment, coupled with tho
statutes involved, has given rise to
perplexing doubts in the Executive
mind as to just exactly what the law
does contemplate, and he hesitates to
attempt a loan for any purpose what
ever until he knows exactly what
terms and conditions loan under
the amendment would impose, not
only upon the State, but upon the
source Of the loan.
Anxious to Pay Teachers.
Governor SIaton is anxious to see
the school teachers paid. of that
there is no doubt. But the uncertain
ty in his mind as to the law in the
case, as we'll as the marked stringen-
cy of the money market at this time.
has prompted him to make haste
slowly
If it might be so arranged the Gov
ernor prefers that such loan or loans
as he may contract be made with
Georgia bankers and fnanciers. If
the matter can not take this direc-
ton, however, the Governor win be
forced to go East for such funds as
he needs, and he has reason to sus-
pect that it will be rather expensive
borrowing at this time.
Naturally, the Governor does not
wish to involve the State in a tFans-
action calling for an abnormal ex-
pense item by way of interest.
The Governor wishes to relieve the
present pressing necessities of the
common school teachers. and in ad-
dition to that he hopes to secure from
the present General Assembly early
legislation of a cha ~ucter calculated
to avoid delaying the payment of the
teachers in the future.
Legislature to Cooperate.
There is a marked disposition n
the Legislature, moreover, to coop
crate cordially with the Governor in
this matter
During the present three-day re
cess Of the House and the Senate the
Governor will address his attention
almost exclusively to the problem of
financing the teachers in their pres
ent necessities and planning for their
permanent relief.
When the Legislature meets again
Monday it is likely that the Governor
will put himself Immediately in touch
with that body, to the end that the
present troublesome status of affairs
may be worked out legally, equitably
and speedily.

Copper is king. Iron has been

harshness of elements. Iron rusts,

In the heart of the belt is the
Boyd. Bray, and Martin group of
thirty claims show a cLpper satur-
alton and present an enormous as
pect for copper development dis
trict. The general evidence on
this group is startling. Taking
the general purview snd analyziffg
this area as to copper features,
present signs that are significance
and gratifying. 1t has the signifi-
canoe of great industry with
all its community building and as
sociated prosperity.
Recently F D NOVEL;, a large
Alaska builder of railroads and op-
orator of mines associated with J..
A. Beck, University of Dublin
graduate and head of the Pacific
Globe Ticket Company, became as
sociated with w H BRAY, the three
taking bond on the Boyd-Martin
interest in the thirty group claims.
The combination behind this de-
velopment aim represent success
full business and the support of
large capi,ol. This, united with
Bray's practical mine knowledge,
the specially of which is copper,
means a forceful moving ahead to
develop the resources in point. Bray
was an original at Ely and helped
to make Ely what it is for in the
Ely game he was the big push
there. 1t is like tact and persever-
ance that is pushing the develop
ment of Battle Mountain.
Newell Beck and Bray have or
ganized the Nevada Calumet Cop
per company. The thirty copper
claims constitutes the company's s
heritage. The financing is now
progressing and the proper develop
ment Of this copper area in Copper
Basin is only matter of time. The
force behind it represents business
pr obity and energy with the means
to do the necessary work expedi.
tiously. Heavy machinery will be
installed and before long diamond
drills will be at work making deep
exploration from the bottom of
the deepest workings which in
proof shows great prospect. The
extent and value of the sulphide
zone is unquestioned and the un-
doubted confidence at that through
the efforts of Bray, Beck, and No
we'll. Battle Mountain ere long
will be the center of the great en-
terprises.

The machine was speeded up and
they made their way across just

would have doubtless overtaken
the entire party.
Rain was falling in torrents

found shelter.
A little later a second flood came
whirling down the canyon. Mr.

just in time to escape the onrush

BATTLE MOUNTAIN NINE
OPTIONED TO TONOPAH MEN

The Gray Eagle group of claims,
we'll known silver-lead property
lying 22 miles southeast of Battle
Mountain and owned by the Hor-
ton Banking Company has recently
been bonded by Tonopah capital.
This property which has been idle
for many years, has q large ton
mage Of ore blocked out, and al
though the owners have had many
tempting offers for it in the past,
it is only recently that they decid-
ed to let it go.
The property is developed by q
400 foot tunnel, which cut the
vein at a depth of 300 feet. One
vein exposed by this tunnel is three
feet wide and averages $50 in gold,
silver and lead. This ore is ready
to be shipped to the smelter: anoth-
er vein eight feet wide and aver
ages about $40 in gold, silver and
lead. 1t is also exposed by the tun-
mel. BY concentration the vein is
expected to yield a profitable smelt-
ing product.
The main vein outcrops contin-
uously for a distance of 1000 It.
On the outer extremities of the
property two sets Of leasers are
taking out shipping ore some of
which assays as high as $40 in gold

Huerta is unable to borrow the
money with which to put down. the
revolt being desperately conducted
by the more courageous of his
wretched countrymen
That was his undoing. He easily
put down the Vera Cruz revolt and
captured its leader, Felix Diaz,
nephew of the deposed dictator.
A less conscientious man would
have summarily executed Diaz.
Madero intended to do it legally
after a trial for treason. Diaz
appealed to the civil courts for a
writ of habeas corpus. And Ma
dero, remembering his pledge of
constitutional government, honored
the writ.
Thus Diaz escaped. His graft
tude to the men whose simple hen
esty had saved his life, was to be-
gin another revolution, and to plot
with Madero's own generals to de-
liver over the President at the mo-
ment VIXEN victory was in his grasp.
The shameful assassination of Ma
dero followed quickly.
This is the band which is claim
ing recognition as lawful govern
ment resting upon the consent of
the governed. In my opinion Presi-
dent Wilson will take this action
only if necessary to save the coun-
try from a greater evil.

more durable.

more durable.
Surrounding Battle Mountain
are great copper deposits. These
deposits have never been efficiently
explored. Here is legitimate offer
ing of a great copper opportunity
for capital and profit as illustrated
through the development attained
at Ely and Yerington which in
their incipiency had not the fore
cast that these deposits south of
Battle Mountain show. Systemati-
cally followed these deposits assure
success, great profit and a re-
sOurceful industry, for as copper
had its large uses in antiquity, so
much the greater are its modern
uses.
The sources for copper supply in
Nevada are immense. 1t will be
only a short time when Nevada
will catch up to Montana and Ari-
zona. In making this gain the Bat
tie Mountain district will not be
second. The porphyry deposits with
monzonite ore proofs in the dis
trict presage the making of mines
of the first magnitude. The evil
dent conditions for this great min
eral wealth are igneous action and
subsequent disturbances, leavi0g q
cracked, assured scanned porphyry

the surface bu' enforcing every
condition that means great COM
mercial Importance. The copper
contents are partially the result of
terrestrial magnetism, percolating
waters and precipitation. Such
played a part in making or deposit
ing these extensive copper beds and
hlllng vein seams; also assisting
were the thermo dynamical electri-
oal effects.
These subterranean treasure
houses, with their chalcopyric and
cuperiferous veins, are prepared to
yield their wealth to the struggle
of man. The compounds of cUp-
per and iron or sulphides will sub
