on the Comstock that is unparalleled
in recent years. AS a result OF the
public disgust at present conditions,
the control Of a number OF the mines
has fallen into the treasures OF the
various companies for unpaid assess
ments Thus the Gould & Curry,
famous property with bullion pro-
duction Of over $20,000,O00, has over
80 per cent of its 216,0O0 shares IN It's
treasury, fallen delinquent for a j.
cent assessment. The same is true OF
the Chollar, which produced over $l5,-
900 OOO the Savage, with a record OF
500 O0O, 900 and a number OF others OF
less fame. On several occasions with
in the past few years, groups or cap
italists have tried to buy the control
OF the Comstock but In so doing nave
gone against that singular thing
known as human nature" 1t has In
such cases always been demonstrated
that to buy the control of Comstock
mine held by the public has been al
most impossible. Before 10 per cent
of the stock has been acquired, the
price has doubled, before 20 per cent
is taken it doubles again. BY TINS
time the public seeing a movement.
not only hold its stock, but actually
buys more. In addition to this, the
"shorts" try to cover and the result Is
one of the wild fluctuations that have
made the lode so famous.
Much Virgin Ground Remains.
The present situation differs from
any previous condition in that the
control lies not with the public but
with the corporations and their boards
of directors. During the past IL year.
electric power has been taken to the
lode and the drainage revolutionized.
Much mismanagement has existed,
but it has been clearly demonstrated
that the lode can be easily drained to
the 3000-foot level, and that an enor-
nous amount of unprospected ground
lies below the 2000-foot level, partic-
ularly in the east or hanging wall Sec
ton. It seems rather surprising that
with capital rushing into the remote
corners of the earth this great district
that once produced nearly $5OOOO,OO0
in a single year should not be seized
upon once more. The discovery OF tn,
ore on the $500 level of the Mexican
mine two years ago and the extraction
of over 81 10000 therefrom at a
fraction of the cost per ton require

Mining JournaD
In January, 1875, the market value
of the mines on the Comstock lode
was $S9S, 100000. This was when the
so-called Great Bonanza" was being
developed and the amazing quantity
and quality of the ore revealed had
produced fever of excitement. The
consolidated California Il Virginia
mines, which contained the Bonanza
rose in price from 20 cents per share
to $500, and a sympathetic rise In
other mines made the market value
as stated above. In view Of the fact
that the Comstock has produced over
$600,0 600 and this in spite of ex-
travagance, litigation, waste and mis-
management the high prices that
once prevailed seem justified to a
large extent. In contrast to the past
the present prices are almost sadden-
ing, particularly as recent develop
ments in the deep levels Of the lode
have given every encouragement to
those who believe in the future of the
Comstock.

Reports were current of an inereas-

and Italy, ard many predictions were
made that it would not be long before
the two continents will be in arms
against one another.
Hints at international trouble in var.
ious European countries were in the
air, though in some cases they took the
form of denials that discomfort existed.
The German denial that the Socialists
were anything but enthusiastically for

was followed by one from Russia con

OPPOSED TO WAR.

The Socialists of Salem have been
very busy in the present crisis, to pre-
vent the American people becoming in
volvel in the European war. At a
special meeting of the local. held the
10th inst, they have decided on a
house to house distribution of anti-war
literature. They have also called for
mass meeting which was advertised in
the daily press to be held Tuesday the
goth inst, s p. M, at State and Liberty
streets. Col. c. E. s. Wood of Portland
will be one of the speakers. You will
hear some uncensored news from the
warning countries, which has not ap
4 peared in che public press.

which was wirel to president Wilson or
n Sunday, which rcads:-
VI Resolution adopted by Salem Loca
Socialist Party: We most earnestly
represent, that if instead of increasing
shipping facilities, the export of food
stuffs and war supplies be prohibited
it would protect our own people from
war prices and preserve the spirit as
well as the letter of neutrality.

HEAVY WOOL SALES
MAKE PRICES Primer

Boston, Mass, Aug. 24.-Total sales
of wool in the local market during the
last week have been about 100000
pounds, approximately the same as the
week previous. Selling has been on
a wide basis, with buyers interested
who had not been in the local market
for some time, especially from wooden
mills. Some houses have done an un-
usually large business, while others re-
port things quiet. There is little dis
position to advance prices much, mill
buyers have made large hole in the
supply of domestic wool. One mill,
having sold its dress goods, withdrew
from the market !, and bought wool
heavily. New clip woods are arriving
early and going fast. Fleeces have
not done so well as territories. They
are expected to improve, however, be-
cause receipts of the foreign clip have
declined sharply. Sellers of territory
Wool have shown large profits. Aus
1ralian's sales are to be cancelled, the
street hears.

Rotterdam, Aug. 24.-Exeept for the
Chaudefontaiac fort at Liege, which
was said to have been blown up by its
comma ndcr to prevent the German flag
from flying over its ruins, all advices
received here today agreed that the for

Major Nameehe, commanding the
Chaudefontaine defense, was said to
have perished when he exploded his
magazine.
Germans had been withdrawn to such
an extent from northern Belgium today
that trains were running between Ant

Ghent it was reported German cavalry
was occasionally sighted, but not in
large numbers.
1t was coniectured here that every
available German had been withdrawn
from the north for the harder fighting
in the vicinity of Charleroi.
Great Britain and France, Paris mes

German advices, instead of speaking
of recent developments in Lorraine as
having resulted in French retirement
like French accounts, stated in plain
terms that the French third army had
been beaten and claimed it as an i'm
