PUT AT NATIONAL

Tom Defenbaugh, who has been in
twon for the past week or ten days,
will leave in the morning for Ma
tional. When seen today Mr.. Defen-
baugh stated that while he had been
away for two weeks, his information,
through correspondence, was that the
recent development in the National
mine was of the richest in the life of
that great property. In addition to
shipping every day from $500 to ST.
500 worth of gold bullion by mail,
available teams are carrying out large
quantities of concentrates, worth from
$500 to $1,000 per ton.
Other properties of the district are
showing fine under development. The
Buekskin National is operating its
high grade mill and turning out bull
lion and the National Buckskin Mines
company, of which s. F. Flynn is Sec
retary and James Martin superinten-
dent and manager, is getting values in
its tunnel work. AS a whole, accord
ing to Mr.. Defenbaugh, the National
situation is most excellent and gives
assurance of rich production and new
producers.

PRICE Of SILVER TAKtS
JUMP IN EASTERN MARKET

Silver took a big slump yesterday,
settlements being made at 565s cents,
while Thursday So cents was all that
producers expected. 1t is believed
that England will drain her colonies
of gold before the war ends and that
the nations of continental Europe will
likewise be rendered bare of yellow
metal, causing tremendous demand
foi silver for coinage. This is the
view expressed by Col. Tom Ewing to
the Reno Gazette, a mining man who
is following the progress of financial
affairs in conjunction with the war,
with great care. He also expressed
the opinion that every silver mine in
Nevada would shortly be running full
blast and number of prospects that
now are idle would be developed.

FIGHT ON BETWffN BAT.
Tie MOUNTAIN AND AUSTIN

+. @. Withburn, county clerk of
Lander county, and q. A. Myles, post
master at Austin, arrived in Reno last
night after 17.1s hour trip by auto
mobile from Austin, and will spend
several days here, says last night s
Gazette.
Mr.. Myles says the campaign in
Lander county this year will be par
ticularly warm, especially for the leg
islative ticket. The chief issue in
that county this campaign will be the
removal of the county seat from Aus
tin to Battle Mountain. A mass meet
ing at which plans were laid to cir
cumvent the steps taken by the Bat
tie Mountain contingency was held at
Austin last week, according to Mr..
Myles. Mr.. Whitburn says the reg
istration indicates that there will be
little change in the Lander county
vote this year.
There is threecorner. ed fight for
state senator, with joe Miller and
BILLY" Easton of Austin opposing
each other on the Democratic and Re
publican tickets, respectively, and
Louis Lemaire Of Battle Mountain,

MAY BUILD LINE
PARADISE VALLEY

c. M. Levey, general manager and
vice-president of the Western Pacific,
arrived in town this morning, in his
private car, "A3,' attached to No.
p. He was accompanied by J. R.
Stevens, representative of Kuhn, Loeb
2. He was accompanied by pomi-
nent eastern railroad man.
Col. f. r. Place, general manager
of the Winnemucca Northern, break
tasted with the gentlemen in their
ear, and at an early hour the three
left by auto for Paradise Valley.
They returned in time for the visitors
to leave for Salt lake City on No. 4
this afternoon.
Upon his return from Boise and
eastern points ten days ago General
Manager Place stated that, while the
European war had unsettled the money
market to such an extent that it would
lie impossible for the Western Pacific
to secure NEEDED funds to build all the
way to Boise, it was probable that
something would be built 1t has also
been cdrrently reported for the past
month that the Southern Pacific is af-
ter the Paradise Valley line.
Within the past few weeks eastern
6nanciers who are interested in the
Gould roads have stated that the
Western Pacific must have feeders IN
order to make expenses.
Taking all the above facts into con.
sideration, the visit of Messrs. Levey
and party at this time is of particu-
lar significance.

NO LABOR-DAY PA
RADf FOR new YORK

NEW YORK, August 22.--For the
first time in thirty years, there will be
no Labor day parade in New York
city this fall. The labor unions hav,
decided to take the money the parade
would cost and use it to relieve un-
employed union men.
In times past, in New York city,
many thousands of union men have
marched on the first Monday in Sep
tember. Their parades have been
spectacular. No money was spared in
making them a success. The horses
in the parade were un;cr-.hod and the
men union-equipped. There were
union bands and union badges. There
refreshments. So that the expense to
the union men for their Labor day
parade, in one way or another, led to
an expenditure running into great
sum of money. All this is to be fore
gone this year and the unions, very
commercially, will turn the money to
help their unemployed brothers.
This instance of practical charity
on the part of union organizations is
attracting wide attention over the
country and has caused considerable
comment, especially in view of Presi-
dent Wilson's statement that the
hard times are purely "psychologi-
cal. -
One good-natured workingman says
he is "sure getting psychological pay
cheeks He also says he is buying
psychological shoes" and probably
will soon be eating out of PSYCHE
logical dinner pail.''

EUROPEAN WAR SENDS
PRICE OF SUGAR SKYWARD

It is probable that the European
war would hardly be felt by residents
of Nevada were it not for the sharp
advance in the price of sugar.
Although the market quotations ON
this product were so cents hundred
lower yesterday, it is selling in Win
nemucca at 500 hundred for beet
and $50 for cane.
Had the advance in prices continu-
ed, it is likely that the people Of the
country would have been obliged to
go back to the good old days when
"long sweet, t,nin'' (sorghum and
New Orleans molasses) was common
ly used for cooking and sweetening
tea and coffee. "Short sweet min .

" ALL SET FOR
GENERAL ELECTION

Yesterday was the last day for
filing certificates of nomination by in
dependent candidates, and Clerk
Davey kept his Office open until IL
O'Clock last evening, in order that be-
lated candidates might not be depriv-
ed of chance to get their names on
the official ballot. J. B. Davis was the
last to file, for the assembly, at 7:1O
o. clock.
The receipts of the clerk 5 Office for
August 20 and 21 from candidates
amounted to $465.00, with a total rev.
enue from this source of 5000. As
the total cost of the primary election
is estimated at approximately $4,000,
it is an expensive luxury for the tax
payers.
The list of the primary candidates
appears on the third page of today s
issue of the Silver State, and the fol.
lowing men will run as independent
candidates:
Sheriff-A. c. Bulls.
District Attorney-Thos. f. Powell.
Recorder-Frank Germain.
Assessor-W. f. Pearce, Ben j.
Sears.
State SENATOR. d. Bradshaw.
Member of Assembly-S. X. Young
w. C. Pitt, George f. Gavin, C. g.
Smith, A. G. Fishburn, ID. J.. LaPoint.
III. X. Davis, j. b. Davis. In addition
there will be the five nominees of the
primary for this office, making total
of 13 candidates, from which FIVE will
be elected.
Justice of the Peace, Union Town
ship-Robert Gilray.
1t will thus be seen that there will
be contests for all county and town
ship Offices, with the exception of Dis
trict Judge, county treasurer and con
stable of Winnemucca.
For the Office of county surveyor, Fl
II. Sheldon and r. E. Tilden will set
tie the question in the Democratic
primary, as there are no Republican
os independent candidates for the po-
sition. The only other primary con-
test lies between A. E. Organ and II.
M. Leonard for the Democratic nomi-
nation for county assessor. The win
ner will be opposed IN the election by
w f. Pearce and Ben j. Sears.

THE VANzTZE OUTSAUS HER RIVAL,
BUT LOSES HARD FOUGHT RAGE

Owen designed yacht Defiance failed to
start, but the trouble she. had on
Wednesday could not be corrected in
time, and after an unsatisfactory trial
spin in Princess Bay during the early
morning George NJ. Pynchon decided
she was not in condition for racing and
returned to the anchorag ge in the Horse
shoe.
The weather was ideal when the
sightseeing fleet gathered around Am
brose lightship TO watch the contest.
A light breeze floated in lazily from the
northwest, and the water was like a
great sheet Of glass, except where an
occasional catspaw crept over to ruffle
it gently.
The Vanitie's improved appearance
since the day before was matter OF
general comment when she came drift
ing along from Sandy Hook. Her big
club topsail set fiat and firm, in marked
contrast to its wrinkled, fiuttering con-
dition on Wednesday, and all her sails
seemed to fit more snugly. There was a
marked difference in her handling, too.
IL was evident that Captain Dennis had
read the riot act to his crew, for his
sharp orders were obeyed with
promptness and vim hitherto unknown.
A pretty duel was witnessed in the
jockeying for the start. Rail to rail
the two yachts luffed, went about,
