Where's the Money

In a communication to the Car
son Appeal, George T. Mills, one of
the exposition commissioners,
claims that s62, 915.45 has been
collected for the exposition fund
and that only $4,773.60 has been
expended, leaving a balance of
$58,141.85 in the fund according
to the state treasurer's books, The
commission state in the resolutions
adopted by Thatcher, Oddie and
Ross, published yesterday, that
there is only $4,000. Now,
the question naturally arises as to
what has been done with the $780,
1915, the difference between the
amount Commissioners Mills says is
in the fund and the amount stated
by Odd.e, Thatcher and Ross in
their resolutions.
Has there been a juggling of tie
fund to cover up deficiencies in
other departments of the state gov
ernmenR II so, who has done the
Juggling? There may he some ex-
PLANTATION Of this apparent Juggling
of accounts that will satisfy the
people, but mono is given. Why
shoold oddie, Thatcher and Ross
claim there is only $4,000 in the
exposition fund when the state
treasurer's books chow that &c.,
141.8 was collected and none Of
it paid out, owing to the refusal Of
the controller to draw any warrans
on the fund.-
The S4,778.6O mentioned above
is the amount of the bills contract
ed by the commission. but not paid
by the controller. If these claims
has been paid the balance In the
fund. according to the treasurer
books, would be $58.141 85, instead
of $4,000 rs stated in the resolu.

The Nevada Irish potato patch
contains $4,000 acres this year
and the total production will be ap-
proximately 1900 bushels, ac-
cording to estimates made by the
United States crop reporting board.
The condition of the crop is "a ger
cent normal and the price at the
/. present time is averaging 80 cents
a bushel.
Regardless of secrets Of dimplo-
macy that may have made the
rounds of the world capitals during
the last few months, the wisdom of
President Wilson'S stand for peace
between the United States and
Mexico shines clearer from day to
day. With Europe in the thrces of
a terrible war it is we'll to find this
country at peace with all the world
excepting her proper efforts to pro.

Frank M. Tracy. a man Of di-
yersiied affairs and of great
wealth, from Chicago. has become
largely interested in the National
mining district, particularly in the
National Buckskin section. He is
the dominant support in the Fl. P.
r. Hatch development project at
Buckskin mountains or the prop
erty of the Buckskin National Gold
Mining company. Mr.. Tracy, in
company with Mr.. Hatch. visited
the property the latter part Of the
week and the former was so pleased
with what he saw that he announc-
ed that he and his Chicago assoc
iates would fully finance what is
known as the Hatch lease on the
property. A tunnel will be driven
approximately 700 feet to cut the
vein from which the company is
taking high grade ore further
south. This tunnel will give q
vertical depth of about 800 feet on
the vein and it will require about
six months time to do this big piece
of work.
Before leaving for Chirago Mr..
Tracy had the following to say to.
a representative of The Star.
81 consider Nevada at the dawn
of lis greatness. Its mines and it's
fields are only in their infancy. The
opportunities are great where there
are such vast untouched resources
as in Nevada, and what is more,
there is a hospitableness about the
States resources that makes it an
attractive field for investment and
profit.
II have faith and confidence in
the States splendid future. For
tunes and great profits will be made
in this state. / am interested at
National and my visit to Buckskin
and National is an evidence why /
should give my support to the
development project directed by
my friend Hatch. Yconsider that
section as one of the best in the
State and with the rich high-grade
proof at the National and Bell
Mines there can be no controversy
as to the correctness of such obser-
vation. ] predict greater things in
that section than any heretofore
proven"
When pressed for an expression
in regard to Wilson's administration
and policy, he said:
although a Republican, l am
an ardent admirer Of President
Wilson and q firm supporter of his
administration. He is reyolntioniz-
ing, by his manly and firm stand
for the right. American sentiment
on matters of party afiIiation: His
Mexican policy has been wisdom
itself and the results attained are
q magnificent tribute to his states

proves the superiority of the part
and sciences in peaceful endowment
as against the horrible example
that Europe presents. The contrast
between Merico. peacefully return

policy of Wilson, and the murder
