annual REPORT
OF GOULD HOSPITAL

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 5.-The annual
report of the Board of Hospital Ser
vice managers of the Missouri Pa
ciic-Iron Mountain has just been
completed. The financial statement
shows an increase in net surplus for
the year of $12, 2,l63, of which amount
So 900 has been set aside for the
erection of an emergency hospital at
Argenta, Ark. During the year the
st. Louis and Kansas City hospitals
have been equipped with approved
electric lighting systems and at the
Kansas City shops an apartment,
equipped with proper furnishings and
supplies, has been set aside for use
in rendering first aid to the injured.
A feature of the years work in the
hospital department was the instruc-
tion tour over the entire system of a
Red Cross hospital ear. Competent
physicians accompanied the ear and
a. all principal points on the lines
gave lectures and instructions, which
included moving picture and X-ray
demonstrations
During 1913 the management of the
hospital service on the entire Mis-
souri, Pacifc-Iron Mountain system,
which previously had been handled as
a part of the railway, was turned over
to the employees. A board of manag
ers, consisting of nine members, eight
officials and employees of the different
departments of the railroad and the
chief surgeon, who is ex-officio chair
man OF the board, is selected annual
ly. Upon this board rests the direct
management of the hospital service.
Funds to carry on the work are raised
by each official and employe paving a
small assessment each month, the
amount depending upon the salary re-
eeived. Since the hospital property
was turned over to the employees by
the railway additional facilities have
cen secured at Bush and Illmo, ILL.,;
Nevada, Mo-; Concordia. Greenleaf
and Yates Center Kan: Alexan-
dria, La. and Fort Smith and New
port, Ark.

INVESTS IN STOCK OF
THE HIGHLAND NATIONAL

II. S. Haggard, a prominent con
tensive work in the United States on
telegraph and telephone lines and
railroad concrete construction, was in
Salt Lake the first of the week and
identified himself with the mining in
dustry of this state by taking over
large block of stock of the High
land National company, chiefly own
ed by Salt Lakers, who are operating
near Battle Mountain, New, says the
Salt Lake Tribune. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Haggard acquired 100000
shares of the company's capital stock
at stiff figure.
One of the mining engineers now on
the ground has been looking around
in the properties adjacent to the
Highland National. Out of the latter
ground he has sent general samples
which assay far above marketable
values. The property of the company
is of enormous extent, and reports
from adjoining ground as sent by ex-
perts to President George +. Cooke
GO to establish the fact that a mighty
producing district is about to come
into prominence. An extract from
one of the letters, dated at Camp
Tobin, follows:
Sutherland has struck a streak
of ore that will probably run 1000 or
5000 ounces in silver. He is working
pretty hard, and is accomplishing
quite a bit of work. We are pretty
well fixed here for the winter, but
the only thing We need now is that
shotgun to keen game in camp.
"We are taking out more pretty
fine gold ore ourselves now, and will
have out three or four or maybe more
carloads of $3.50 or $500 ore ready to
ship by June |, when the road is fixed
up so we can pull her into Battle
Mountain. We will build the road
about four miles just as soon as the
frost is out of the ground

A record breaking crowd attended
the Nixon opera house last evening to
witness the production of "The Last
Days of Pompeii,'' and no one was
disappointed.
There were six reels of moving pie
lures, each portraying the vivid
scenes witnessed in the vicinity of
Vesuvius when the cities of Pompeii
and Hereulaneum were destroyed in
A. ID. 70.
The next feature film will be

NEW TARIFF CUTS WOOL

c. w. Callahan, of Amedee, Cali

Eldorado this morning by Silver
State representative and asked as to
the prospects for wool the coming

THINKS NEVADA ORE
IS RADIUM BEARING

A Ferguson, of East Ely, who owns
property in the Illipah district, from
which ore carrying platinum has been
taken and samples of which have
been tested by expert chemists, now
has convincing evidence that the ore
also contains radium, says the Ely
Expositor. Samples of the ore were
recently used by G.. d. Gallagher, the
Ely photographer, to make a radio
graph, or shadowgraph, of small
key, and with very good success.
While the image of the key in the
shadowgraph is much weaker than
similar ones made with other radium-
bearing ores, the evidence that the
ore carries radium is indisputable.
This fact is of great Importance in
view of the fact that great simplifi-
cation of the process by which radium
is recovered from ores is declared to
be practically proven, which will re-
suit in cheapening the cost Of produc-
ing this rare element, and it may be,
that with systematic prospecting of
the mineral deposits at Illipah, zones
will be found where the radium CON
tent of the ore is much larger than
that of the sample used in this test.

American Says French Have

in Government circles,

whole length, and on none of these
corpses was there the slightest mark of
a bullet or piece Of shell.
Il was suggested that the Germans
might have been killed hy the shock Of
the explosion; but the American referred

the damage was done by shells filled with
new explosive invented by Eugene
Turpin, the inventor or neinite. which

CHINA, SUSPICIOUS
OF JAPANESE MOVE,
MOBTLTZES TROOPS
Material Landed for Narrow
Gauge Railroad to kiao-
Chau Brings Protest to
Toxic.

PEKTN, Sept. 25.
There have been extensive movements
of Chinese troops in the coast provinces,
but the War Department announces they
are designed only against possible revo-
lutionary outbreaks and to prevent anti
foreign demonstrations. Whatever the
purpose, the Government is active in put
ting the army into shape for contingent
cies
One cause assigned is the possibility Of
the Japanese constructing railroad on
the northern coast of the Chinese province
of Shantuns to Kiao-Chau the German
leasehold on the shantung Peninsula
Considerable suspicion has been aroused
among Chinese officials by the supposed
intentions Of Japan because OF the prece-
dent of the Antung-Mukden Railway,
which became ultimately q permanent
broad line.
JAPANESE LAND MATERIAL.
Reports received at the capital from
Lungkow say the Japanese landed the
railway material from the transports
which brought the Japanese army to the
Chinese coast.
EM Hioki, the Japanese Minister at
Pekin, intimated to the Chinese Foreign
Office a few days ago the necessity of
Japan constructing such a railway. the
Minister explaining that siege artillery
could not he transported over the Chinese
roads The Foreign Office replied the
Government hoped the Japanese would
respect the overegnty of China.
An undated German official report re-
ceived here says:
Governor Meyer Waldeck, of Kiao-Chau
reports the Japanese outposts have cross
ed the frontier of the German leased ter
ritory, The Germans maintained their
positions. In the skrmlshes between the
advance guards the Japanese, despite
their superior numbers, suffered great
losses
The Government is restricting the travel
of foreigners in the interior of China and
is especially instructing the provincial au-
aliens established in the interior.
The German authorities, it Is reported,
have been making efforts to transfer the
TsingtauTsnan Railway to the Chinese
but the Pekin Government fears to COM
plicate matters with the Japanese.
A British detachment numbering 800
South Wales border regiment men and
400 Indian Sikhs were landed near
Laoshan. China, yesterday. 1t is expected
the Anglo-Japanese attack on the first
line of the Using Tao defenses will begin
today or tomorrow.
