Intensive Cultivation Which

Bring the Belgians to Iowa is>the
slogan Of the Greater iowa associa
ton.
The Greater Iowa association has
plan which 1t believes will be the
means Of caring for several thousand
Belgians and their families, who have
been rendered homeless and PENN
less by the European war.
The following telegram has been
sent by the commission to the Rookie.
Teller foundation in New York: 1--WE
believe the Greater Iowa association,
working with the Rockefeller founda-
ton, can arrange to provide land AMI
homes for one hundred thousand Bel
CLANS and enable them to earn, not
only their own livelihood put to pay
for their farms in ten years.
Gods most precious gifts are not
in things, but in opportunities. and
we look on this as an opportunity, not
only for the Belgians, but for Iowa.
II other states will do as we'll the Bel
gian problem is solved and within ten
years Iowa farm land will be selling
for $500 an acre, instead Of 5000 as at
present. Will you cooperate with us?
To Investigate Immediately.
Mr.. Rockefeller Immediately called
into consultation some OF the men
who are interested with him in the
of the foundation, and
as result an investigation will be
made OF conditions existing In Europe,
Affecting the Belgians. There Is every
reason to believe that the plan sug-
gested by the commission will be car
ried into effect-at least to some ex-
tent.
Mr.. Rockefeller has advised the as.
ISOLATION that the foundation, after its
investigation of European conditions,
would endeavor to cooperate with the
association If there was any possible
or practical manner by which results
could be accomplished.
A member OF the Greater Iowa as
ISOLATION says Iowa is deeply con
cerned with the condition of the Bel
gian refugees and that the state has
room enough and work enough fol-
100000 farmers on the basis OF ten
acres to the family. provided they
will follow in Iowa the same methods
OF intensive cultivation which they
have developed SO magnificently In
their own country.

Suppose all automobiles in this state should be
taxed according to horsepower instead of the usual
flat rate of 81 per machine. Say, for instance that
tax of 80 cents per year per horsepower should be
imposed ON all machines and that there were about
10000 machines in this state which generated about
100000 horsepower. Taking it on the 5Ocent basis
1t would amount to about $4500O0 year or $15OOO6
more than the appropriation to the state highway
commission this year
Assuming that there 10000 machines in this
state the present 81 license tax amounts to 100000
year.
The automobile industry has grown to such i'm
mense proportions in recent years that there is no
doubt in the minds of the people that the AUTOMOBILE

The state of New York imposes certain tax per
horsepower its automobiles and it derives great

system of taxation in this state along the lines
of that in force in New York is worthy of consider
alton for the citizens of this state.

COMSTOCK MINE SUPERINTfNDENTS
SUBMIT REPORTS FOR PAST WEEK

The Mexican mill crushed All tons
of Mexican ore averaging $4.22 per
tons and 1874 tons of Monte Cristo orc
average value, $4,95 per ton. Per-
centage of extraction was S6k per
cent. They trammed 164 tons of ore
from the Monte Cristo storage piles.
The Savage report shows an extcn.
sion of 10 feet and the putting in of
two sets of timbers in the west drift
from the bottom of the winZe in the
ID street tunnel. The total length of
the drift is now As feet. They saved
IA cars of ore averaging $6.34 per
ton. The face is in fill.
At the Crown Point, 100 tons were
sent from the gloryhole to the Jacket
shaft and 81 cars of low grade ore
were saved from the raise and drift.
On the 1900 level, the north drift
extended and timbered Is feet, now
.totaling 246 feet. On the 400 level
necessary repairs were made in the
south drift and, Jointly with the Bel
cher and Yellow Jacket, the water in
the joint incline is being held 40 feet
below the 1000 level on the incline.
214S.S2 IONS of mine ore were sent
to the Jacket mill.
The Yellow Jacket made repairs to
the shaft and incline, aside from the
rock received from the Crown Point.
On the $50 level of the Belcher,
necessary repairs were made to the
crosscut, which is being used as an
airway between the incline and shaft,
and work was resumed on the 1900
level the last day of the week. At
the Crown Point and Yellow Jacket,
the incline was retimbered for five
feet and the old Cornish pump was
removed from the north compart-
ment.
At the Overman general repairs
were done to the shaft from the 1900
station tt the 13OO-foot station. The
latter station was found in fair con-
dition and in a few days will be
ready for active operations on this
level.
At the Observation-Disclosures
perial, on the 20O-foot level, the east
crosscut from the south drift, was ex-
tended eight feet and is now in A

set of timbers was installed.
On the 1900 level of the Caledonia
the two-compartment raise from the
northwest drift is now 10 feet high,
having been advanced IL feet during
the week. A quartz formation was
passed through and 10 mining cars
of low grade ore, taken from this
raise, were hoisted.-Chronicle.

ic corps of the capital, will be held

1t is expected that besides the 400
American singers, who will come to
participate in the singing festivals,
the thousands of unofficial Morse
American visitors and a host of their
Norwegian relatives will unite in a
demonstration to show honor to a
country, which by Norwegians, is held
second in affection only to their
country.
The centennial will celebrate the
dramatic event which marked the be-
ginning of Norway's history as a ma
ton. In 1914 as the result of the
close of the NapoleOnic wars the
great powers of Europe forced Fred
erick VI. of Denmark to give up
Norway. which had been attached to
Denmark for four hundred and thir-
ty-fOur years, to Sweden, and pro-
vided a ruler for the acquisition in
the person of the Swedish crown
prince Charles Jean BernadOtte. Swe-
den had in 1909 lost Finland to Rus
STA after a war, and was now given
Norway in compensation.
The NOrwegians rebelled against
this disposition of their country, and
under the leadership of Prince Chris
tian Frederick refused to submit to
Sweden. In the face of all Europe
Norway declared it's independence
and proceeded on May II, 1914, to
adopt a constitution. The prince was
elected king and since that day the
18th of May has been to the people
Of Norway what the Fourth of July
is to the United States. Sweden went
to wal against the new country and
the struggle continued until Novem-
Der, 1914. when peace was made
which led to a union of an equal
basis. The union lasted until 1905
when it was peacefully dissolved on
account of the dissatisfaction with
the arrangement.

KIMBERLY CON.
IS IN RICH ORE
BODY OF ROCK ASSAYING $1,000
TO THE TON is FOUND IN
NEW SHOOT

A body of very rich ore ~assaying
over $1,000 a ton was encountered in
the Kimberly Consolidated mines at
Battle Mountain last week. This raise
was being run t. connect with the old
shaft on the south end of the prop
erty from which a large tonnage OF
high-grade shipping ore was shipped
shortly after the property was To-
Gated.
The development is most important
for the. reason that this raise has
opened up a very large tonnage OF
excellent ore that can be utilized as
'tsweetening" ore of the big tonnage
of lower grade ore developed ready
for the resumption of milling opera
tons. This ore shoot has never been
in~telligently explored and it is prob
able that when drifting on it's is COM
menced some surprising develop
ments of rich ore will be made.
At the new Washington main work
ing shaft, north of this ore shoot, the
hosting plant has been installed, the
head frame completed, ore bins have
been constructed, the shaft is tim
bered and sinking will now be re-
sumed. In the bottom of the shaft
when work was stopped for timber
ing, a vein was being cut which, al
though the assays were low, is very
important. This vein was encounter
ed during the excavation for the shaft
buildings and showed extremely
strong. 1t is possible that the next
few feet will break into ore.
In the north end of the property
crosscut 131 has now proved the vein
to be over 80 feet wide, with good
values on the hanging-wall across a
width of s feet and drifting in both
directions on this will now be start
