MINES TO
BU|lO MILL SOON
ErETy TON CONCENTRATING
PLANT WILL HANDLE LEAD
SILVER ORE TONNAGE

The Union Mines company, located
in Eureka county, Nevada, ~thirty-hve
miles south of Palisade, will erect a
ffty-ton concentrating mill in the
near future, according to Manager
l.. r. Thatcher, who was in Salt Lake
Yesterday looking after the ore ship
ments of the company. He said that
the company had an excellent misslte'
with plenty of water and timber. The
property years ago produced some
thing like $780, 900 worth of ore.
The present company bought the
mine last April. There was about
25,,,v tons of ore blocked out in the
mine, which is being worked py
prosecuting tunnels. This ore, which
is of a lead-silver nature, the COM
pany has been shipping, but owing 10
the condition of the present metals
market the management has decided
to confine it's work to developing
more orebodies.
The mill will be erected in the
meantime and will consist of jaw
crushers, rolls, jigs, tables and Prue
vanners. The plant will handle the
tonnage of the mine, which in the
future will be shipped in the form OF
| concentrates. The company expects
thus to make a considerable saving
in freight expenses.
The mine is being worked by two
tunnels, one in ESQ feet and n $50
feet, which cut the ore at about 100
feet depth. The vein is from fifteen
to twenty feet in width and is pro-
ducing a good grade Of shipping ore.
Speaking of the other mining
camps in Nevada, Manager Thatcher
said that the old Bullion camp, ten
miles north of the Union Mines prop
critics, had been revived by leasers,
who were steadily shipping about five
cars of ore per week. The ore is of a
lead-silver-copper character. The
Done Mining & Reduction company is
operating the Elk lease. Besides
these, the Sweepstakes and Sylvania
properties are also shipping.
Eureka county as a whole is look
ing good, said Manager Thatcher.
The Buckhorn is very active and
about 400 tons of ore per day is be-
ing milled in the Buckhorn Mines
company's mill. The mill is making
an excellent extraction with the
cyanide process.-Salt Lake Tribune.

BLIND STUDENTS HOLD
BOAT RACE IN ENGLAND

WORCESTER, Eng, Aug. Is
Four blind school boys. pulling with
a clean, steady stroke, recently won
a race here on the Severn against a
crew of four blind men. The victors
belonged to the Worcester College
for the Blind and their rivals were
former pupils. Out of this has re-
suited a rowing boom at the school,
and three 'fours" are now in train
ing out of the thirty boys. They
hope to enter next season for the
public school cup at the Molesey re-
gatta.
The boys were trained by their
headmaster, G. c. Brown, who, hav-
ing eyes, acted as coxwain.
'The beginning was the hardest
part" says Mr.. Brown. "First, they
had to feel all over the boat and the
oars, while I explained things to
them. We trained in a tub with
outriggers and fixed seats. But once
they learned the feeling Of the wa
ter, they picked up the stroke east
ly. Their keen sense of hearing and
the movement of the boat enables
them to keep perfect time"
No form of athletics introduced at
the school has been taken up as
eagerly by the boys as rowing.

|CELAND|C PRTR|OTS
DESIGN NEW EMBLEM

COPENHAGEN, Aug. Is. - A
band of Icelandic patriots have de-
signed a national flag which they
propose to fly not only over Iceland,
but on all vessels registered in that
country. If they had been content to
make their flag a strictly local affair,
for which permission had already
been granted by the Danish king, all
would have been well. But the Dam
ish parliament has now taken up the
question of the marine flag on &C
count of the activities of the Icelandic
Independence" party.
The people of Denmark are of a
divided opinion as to Iceland. Some
feel that the Icelanders are acting in
a very ungrateful way in view of past
favors, and others that to give Ice
land it's freedom would rid the coun-
try OF a source of useless expense.
1celand's new flag is of a navy
blue field, marked with a white cross
whose arms extend to the four sides,
and a cardinal red cross of half the
size set within the white.
1t was not until after the state
council approved the Icelandic home
flag. following negotiations between
the lcelandic minister and the Dan
ish prime minister, that the agita-
ton was taken up by the patriots for
its use as a commercial and marine
emblem. The Icelanders cannot
have their new colors recognized by
foreign powers al a national flag
without the consent of the Danish
parliament.

Stabbed Over SuuaW

John Pryor was stabbed recently
at Ely in a quarrel with James Clark,
who, it is said committed the deed
because of Pryor's attention to a
squaw. Pryor claims that the man
who stabbed him was unknown to
him and denied that a squaw was the
cause of the affair.

Crush the Human VuHures!

In the house of representatives yesterday four resolutions were in
PRODUCED calling for an inquiry into the war prices for food now pre-
vaiEng in the United States. 1t is to be hoped that the committee to
which these resolutions were referred will act promptly in the interests
of the American people, and that the attempt of the commercial vl-
lures to fatten upon a condition that does not exist will be nipped in the
bud with vigor and dispatch. With the biggest crops this country has
known for years, and the markets of Europe temporarily, at least, closed
to American exports, the logic of the situation would indicate lower in
stead of higher prices for food products. At any rate, there is alb
solutey no good and sufficient reason for an increase in prices.
In Chicago the city council and other bodies, sensing the import
ance Of the increase in food prices to the people, have undertaken a
ment of the United States to afford adequate protection to the people
against the avariciousness of the sons of mammon. In Goldfeld, as all
over the country, the people are already beginning to feel the effect OF
the increase in the prices of food products. Flour, sugar, lemons and
other commodities have been increased in price arbitrarily by the job
bers and manufacturers in fact, the local merchants don't know what
they will have to pay for certain articles when they are ordered and they
are up against the proposition of having them delivered c. o d. for an
indefinite period.
In some quarters there is a disposition to place the blame for these
price increases upon the farmer and the stockraser, who are accused
of holding back their products upon the theory that soon the European
demand will be so great a to send prices skyward. This may be true in
isolated cases, but there is no general concert of action along this line,
and for the true solution one must look elsewhere. There are still living
in the United States men who amassed large fortunes during the period
of the civil war. They were not soGers-they were contractors. While
their neighbors, friends, and sometimes their own brothers, were at the
front, they remained at home compounding interest out of the travail of
their country. This was the type of man who is now showing his
cloven hoof in America.
While the government is taking steps to relieve conditions by send
ing one billion dollars of emergency currency to the banks of the nation
and in other ways is extending aid to various industries, such as the
production of silver, there are men without conscience, utterly lacking i'll
moral p0se, who would take advantage Of a Frankenstein of their own
making to cause suffering and distress to the poor people of the country
they call their own. 1t il high time for congress to take action and the
human vutures should be made to suffer.

J. Ogden Armour, the millionaire Chicago packer, is ot with a
statement in which he attempts to lay the blame for the increase in
meat prices upon the other fellow. But it makes one smile to realize
that the quick jump back to normal prices was concident with the
howl that went up all over the country and the introduction in congress
of several resolutions calling for an investigation. Now the president
has instructed the department of justice to prosecute the offenders if
the evidence can be secured. Mr.. Armour hides like an ostrich.

they are well taken care of in the City of Brothery Love and but few know
of the presence of more than twelve thousand children in nearly seventyfve

The city cannot give its name to this vast army of adopted children. The
