delay. because our time is limited
on the options, and to save the prop
erty we must act promptly.
THE new company will have q
OOO, 900 shares with par value of 81
each. all of which will be treasury
stock with the exception of a few
hundred shares subscribed for by the
incorporators in the formation of
the company. The price paid the
owners of the Lou Dillon and Silver
Pick Extension claims is $4,000, of
which $4,000 will be paid in the
stock of the new company at the
rate of two cents per share.
"Your directors have decided that
it is for the best interests of the
stockholders of your company to &C
cept the proposition as outlined. and
for that reason urge upon you to
make the exchange at once. This
can be done by sending your certifi-
Gates of the Lou Dillon with the sum
of 2 cents per share to the secretary
of the company, Charles E. Hudson,
324 Bush street. who will attend to
the securing of the transfer into the
new company.
IF for any reason the deal will
not be consummated, your certifi-
Gates and money will be returned.
Bear in mind that the Lou Dill
Ion has always been considered a val
liable claim in the Goldfield Mining
district; remember that you have
made quite a good sized investment
in the stock. and that now the prop
erty is absolutely lost unless we are
able to bring about the reorganiza-
ton so as to recover it.
''The conditions under which we
are working properties now are very
different from what they were years
ago, and the money received is be-
ing used for legitimate purposes,
rather than finding the pockets of
INSCRIPTIONS promoters.
Il wish to state in conclusion that
some of our directors are very heav-
lily interested in the Lou Dillon stock
and as far as they are able to do
so will avail themselves of the op-
p%ortunity of protecting their inter-
ests by joining in the proposed con-
solidatiOn."

years, and to such an extent that it
is becoming generally known that tfe
coal of the state are W.
derfully great and practically i'm
haustible while the number of new
and big enterprises now devoting to
the mining and shipping of coal leads
to the belief that, in time, the rev.
enues fro mthis source will equal that
derived from u metal-bearing
mines. In addition to coal mining
there has been a rapid growth in the
production of roch asphalt, gilsonite,
mineral wax, elaterite and similar
commercial commodities.
1t may be true that money has not
been freely available for the develop
ment of prospects during the past
few years, but this one feature con-
nected with the mining industry
cannot be interpreted to mean that
mining is slow in Utah. 1t certainly
means much for the state when &C
tivity prevails among the prospects,
but it means much more when thou
sands and even millions are being
expended in the carrying on of big
mining enterprises, and, in this con-
%nection, 1t can truthfully be said that
the mining interests of Utah are in
a most f1ourishing condition.-Salt

Flying at a speed of more than a

the famous aviator engaged to make
two flights here as special features
of the Fourth of July celebration, ar
rived in Goldfield at 5:19 o'clock this
morning from the Oasis ranch, Inyo
county. California, and landed on
the site of the old T. & G.. railroad

from Bishop. and a crowd of the Of
ficials of the celebration committee.
On account of the early hour of
his arrival. ChristOfferson's arrival
was not witnessed by as many resi-
dents of the town as arose early yes
terday morning in anticipation of
his coming, only to be disappointed
by reason of the fact that the avia-
tor was blown out of his course by
exceptionally strong winds encoun-
tered after passing over the White
mountains, and which caused him to
fly back to Deep Springs ranch in
Inyo county.
In his voyage here this morning
Christofferson followed the power

which the control is attached.
After drifting about thirty miles
out of my course southwark and
travelling at least a hundred miles,
| landed in the valley near the head
of Death Valley. There was not a
sign of life as far as I could see. AS
my motor had become very warm,
the dry atmosphere making it neces-
sary for me to run it at it's highest
rate of speed, 1900 revolutions a
minute, l remained on the ground
for about twenty minutes. 1 then
cranked up the motor and succeeded
in rising. AS my supply of gasoline
and lubricating oil was getting low,
I steered for the east side of the
White mountains, and, after hugging
them as closely as possible, I crossed
back over them and landed at the
Deep Springs ranch. I flew from
there to the Oasis ranch just before
dark last night and started out from
there this morning at 1925"
Speaking of his local flights, the
aviator said:
"Mr. Wallen. our moving picture
operator, and I will go up Saturday
morning and I will make two flights,
and will make two more flights in
the afternoon, providing conditions
are not too unfavorable. I will fly
to Tonopah early Sunday morning
and give exhibitions there"

HISTORY OF THE SALVATION ARMY


Today the Salvation army is

ganiZation in the world. The
pOke-bOnneted army lassie is a
familiar sight in every coun-
try on earth with the single
exception of Russia. They +

listen to the exhortatiOns of
nearly 1000 officers, of both
sexes, that make up the Saliva
ton army in the United States.
The street-corner meeting is a
familiar sight in every part of
the world. More than 100000
of these are held every year in
this country at which over 50,-
900 recruits have been gather
ed in a twelve-month to the
army's ranks from the congre-
cations. Our war is a war

Forty-nine years ago today
the worlds first meeting OF
the Salvation army was held.
1t took place in an old patched
tent erected in an ancient
burial ground in the White
chapel district in London.
The first preacher was William
Booth, a clergyman who was
at that time without a church.
He had been called upon to
take the place of the regular
minister, who was lying i'll at
his home. The first congrega-
ton was made up of a mass
of poor people, many OF them
evidently without God, or hope
in the world" After the meet
ing Booth hurried to his home
and exclaimed to his wife:
Kate, l have found my des-
tiny! AS | passed by the doors
of the flaming gin-palaces to-
night, | seemed to hear a voice
sounding in my ears: Where
can you find such heathens as
these and where is there so
great need for your labors!
And there and then in my soul
| offered myself and you and
our children up to this great
work" This was the begin
ming of a worldwide organiza-
ton. From that day meetings
were held regularly. On the
third Sunday the tent blew
down and was wrecked beyond
repair. Having no money o
another and without funds TO
rent a building, Booth preach
ed in the open air. Finally he
secured the use of an old dance
hall that was not in use on
Sundays. Weekday meetings
were held in a dilapidated
shed, formerly a storehouse
for old rags.

After Pistol ToterS.

The entire country is becoming
awakened to the evil of pistol toting,
and many states are adopting ex-
IRENE measures to curb the tendency
to carry deadly weapons. Without a
dissenting vote the Kentucky SEN
ate has passed a bill to enforce Sc
we're penalties for carrying concealed
pistols. The first conviction is to car
ry Acknowledgement for two years, a
fine of $40 to $50 and a jail sentence
of from ten to forty days. On sec
ond conviction the punishment is to
be Imprisonment in the penitentiary
from one to five years. Any court
clerk or sheriff who refuses to issue
or serve papers in pistol cases is to
be fined from $40 to $50.
The habit of carrying concealed
weapons is one of the leading causes
of murder in the South, and the peo
pie are beginning to recognize the
necessity of stringent laws and more
stringent enforcement.

A Great Man Passes.

In view of advices from Washing
ton that Senator Bacon's condition
was not serious, and that he was on
the road to recovery, news of his
death Saturday afternoon came as
great shock to the people of Georgia
and of the country, whom he had
served with marked fidelity in the
greatest law-making body of the
world for nearly twenty years.
Senator Bacon was one of the COM
handing figures in our national life,
and will be missed not only in
Georgia but throughout the nation.
He has been a true representative
of all that is best in the traditions
and soundest in the principles of the
democratic party, and relying upon
ability and integrity has always
scorned the demagogy and trickery
that at times run rampant.
AS his colleague, the junior sena~
tor from Georgia, said of him, he
was a great senator, and there is no
man who can fill his place.
