PREDICTS SUCCESS
full STATE FAIR

"There is every indication that the
state fair will prove one of the most
successful ever held in the state,
said Secretary w. ID. Phillips of the
Nevada State Agricultural society to
a Gazette reporter.
"There are now about two score
horses at the track and a number of
other stables are coming The course
is in the best possible shape and a
number of improvements are being
made for the grounds.
"The agricultural exhibit will
probably be the finest ever shown in
the state. Already Lvon and Clark
have notified me that they will have
county exhibits, embracing every
line of industry. The Chamber of
Commerce of Elko says that pressure
is being brought to bear to have Elko
county send in splendid exhibit.
GA great many of the exhibits wall
be of such nature that they may be
kept to show tourists during 1915, in
fact, the fair this year promises to be
the starter for a permanent exhibit
of the products of Nevada

SUPREME COURT WILL
SETTLE SEVERAL POINTS

In order that speedy definition
of the election law pertaining to pri-
mary registration can be ascertained,
ATTORNEY General Thatcher has start
ed proceedings against Judge Keith,
registry agent of Carson City, to de-
termine the question of the right OF
voters to change their party affilia-
tions after they have once registered; !;
also the right of those registering
without declaring their affiliation for
any party, at later date to request
the registry agent to write after their
names the party that they win vote
with at the primaries.
The action of the attorney general
has been prompted hy the receival OF
letters from all over the state stat
ing that many voters desire to change
their party and that numerous eiti-
zens who had not declared their pref.
erence desired to state the party with
which they were affiliated at the
last general election.
The matter will be hurried to the
Supreme Court for speedy interpreta-
tion.-Carson Appeal.

good band, and give clean show.

"PAY SOMETHING OF SAY
SOMETHING SLOGAN

No greater mistake is ever made by
the management of a mining company
than the failure to meet the distant
stockholders halfway in the field of
Accommodation When we hear
that oft-repeated question: "What
is the matter with the mining indus
try we are ready TO give the only
intelligent answer: ssWant Of eapi
tall And that means, simply, lack
of active stockholders. Nothing
should be more encouraging to the
mining industry than a disposition
upon the part of the distant stock
holder to take an interest IN his cor
poration. Every stockholders letter.
written to the manager of a mining
company or to some local authority, is
manifestation of so much energy
available for the promotion of min
ing enterprises. Every stockholder s
letter ignored is so much energy
thwarted While we do not intend to
compare corporation stockholders with
children, there is nevertheless simi-
larity between the situation of the in
auiring investor and that of the de-
veioping child. 1t is just as foolish
tc suppress the enthusiasm of the in
vestor sas it is cruel to discourage the
ambitions of the young.
| Here is an example of the senti-
ment we have in mind, in the form of
letter received from a stoekholder
in a western mining company. After
recounting the facts of his invest
ment in a company which has been
quite successful, he says that the div
| dends have ceased and he no longer
hears from the company.
s'Now ! would like to know he
continues, "why they do not either
nay something or say something, and
| If you know anything about them
that would be of interest to me,
would certainly appreciate the infor
nation and pledge you my word OF
honor to say nothing about it only t.
my wife. She could help me keep thu
secret.
Now, the fact is that the mining
company here mentioned own as fin,
property and one that will again pa,
dividends. The reason for its present
condition is not one which reflects
upon the mine What a fine thing i
the company should set forth some o
the facts in letter to stockholders
Just to help them keep their faith. Ev
cry failure to welcome the spirit o
this stockholders letter makes it 81
much harder for some mine develope
to interest this same man in his en-
terprise.

ING industryl Either pay something

MISTAKE iron
FOR TELLUR|UM

has been rumored on the streets
for the past two or three days that
the strike reported from National last
week, on the lease of the White Rock
Leasing company, was flake.
Close inquiries yesterday and today
would seem to indicate that the articles
on the subject published in the Thurs
day and Saturday editions of the Sill
vel State are substantially correct,
with one exception. Portions of the
ore carry black substance that was
thought to be tellurium, of an esti-
mated value of from $4,000 to $500
per pound Assays revealed the fact
that it was principally iron, carrying
gold values of from $500 to $4.00 per
ton.
However, there is ledge of more
than four feet in width, assays from
which give values of $3.50 per ton,
gold and silver. for the entire width.
One ASSAY of a picked sample, made
by H. C. Oastler. gave $15,270 per
ton, gold.
As published in last Thursday s
Silver State Tom Baldwin took out
forty pounds of high grade that run
about $4,000 to the pound This high
grade comes in boulders and has been
frequently encountered during the
past six months.
Notwithstanding the mistake made
in estimating the value of the ore,
indications point to the lease making
a valuable mine.

WARFARE IN THE
AIR AND IN THE FIELD

The unique accident which has cost
the Austrian army the lives of nine
of it's aviation specialists may be TAX
en- as fair example of what warfare
in the air would be like. 1t has often
been suggested that the only way to
bring in the era of universal peace
would be to make war uDthinkably
destructive. If n weapon could be
invented that would guarantee the ut
ter annihiliation of both eombatants,
that would be a convincing argument
for the expedieney of abolishing war.
Every now and then what looks
like a weapon of that kind is pro
duced The machine gun is a fami-
liar type. 1t was hailed as promising
an end of war But such promises
have always been nullified by man :
ingenuity on the defensive side.
The machine gun may be capable of
"mowing down. whole regiments.
But as a matter of experience moth
ing of the kind happens. The casuali-
ties in battle, in fact, tend to de-
crease as more efficient, fighting ma
chimes are contrived, by comparison
with the ages when men fought hand
TO hand; or. as was the practice after
the invention of gunpowder up to a
recent period, when battle ranges
were no longer than would permit one
army to see the whites of the enemy s
eyes.
Coincidently we have been "civil.
izinp'' warfare. Defenseless com
munities are no longer put to the
sword. or sacked. Prisoners are not
harmed. The wounded are cared fal
l. Al. "a
the hostile army as by their own doe
tors and nurses. A battle, or the wal
itself, may bc brought to an end by
mutual agreement that more fight
ing would not influence the result
hut only cause "useless effusion OF
blood.'
For all the headlines and power Of
modern weapons, the horrors oi
war; are. thus, nothing like wha'
they used to be. What has happened
is this-the financial burden is con
stantly heavier
The engines of destruction of thu
twentieth century cost immensel,
more, even in proportion to the great
er availrable wealth, than the simple
machines of the old days. Peace pro
moters accordingly nowadays argu'
their ease chiefly on the eeonomi
side The slaughter and ineidenta
cruetes and hardships are les
weighty considerations than formerly
But war is appallingly wasteful-
that is the appeal for finding othe
means to settle controversies.
1t might not be any more ASSURING
If we could believe that the airshi
and the science of military aviation
will some day become so efficient tina
a battlefield could be swept clear o
troops by attack from above. Fo
+. wars would then be transferred 70 tn
air. But what would then happen
indicated by what happened in tn
Austrian maneuvers- annih
lation. And that is the ideal, froI
the peacemaker's point of view
