Celebration of the Fourth

The stage is set in Goldhed for the greatest Fourth of July cee-
bration ever held here. The people of the camp have taken a deep in
terest in the event since the celebration was first proposed, and have been
liberal with both their time and money. Today most of the business
houses and buildings of Goldfdd are decorated with flags and bunting
and the camp has taken IN a gala appearance.
There is something peculiarly fitting about a big celebration of this
holiday in Goldheld. The camp being more or less isolated from the
rest of the world, the people who remain here day in and day out wei
come a day Or two each year devoted to the carnival spirit, and the pro-
grams ALWAYS arranged for their amusement have been SO good that the
Fourth of July is a time of great JOY. This year will be no exception
in fact. in many respects the celebration will surpass any heretofore
given.
The bright particular star in the armament of Fourth of July
features will unquestionaby be Sias ChrStofferson, the intrepid
airman, who reached Godfeld at $50 o'clock this morning after one
of the most daring flights ever made by an aviator. After having met
with contrary winds yesterday morning and being carried over Eureka
valley. he flew back over the White Mountains to Deep Springs, later
flying to Oasis. Early this morning he made a fresh start and reached
Goldfeld without mishap, covering the distance of sixty four miles in
6ftv-two minutes, and following the route of the Midland Trail
Chrntoferson not long ago flew from Bakersfield, Cal, to San Diego

Pity Poor Butte

The labor situation at Butte, long hushed up through fear OF the
power behind the labor throne, is now in the hmehght where 1t should
have been long ago. Many hundreds of miners, who revoted against
the Mover rule after years of abect slavery, have joined the new IN
dependent union and announce their determination never again to sub
nit to the conditions heretofore imposed upon them. The Western
Federation, however. after temporary defeat, is again attempting to
owners have been forced to bulkhead their mines in anticipation OF
trouble and there is a prospect of a long shutdown, With nothing eN-
cept misery and poverty ahead of the workers and their dependent
families.
In this instance, as in many others, Meyer is the mlschhet-maker
His administration of the Western Federation has transformed Butte
from a prosperous mining camp into a place of desperation and want
and the miners are soaked at every opportunity. In speaking OF this
phase of the Butte situation the Mining and Engineering World III its
latest issue said:
The Mover machine has been in control of the federation and
its finances, especially its finances, for years. and they have grown
fat and prosperous, while the thousands of Butte miners, who have
been supporting and maintaining the federation and its officers by
contributing $3.50 to $I a month out OF an income OF 500 to 500,
have been living in squalor, and maintaining families at near starva-
ton points. Before the federation got into Butte, the Butte miners
were a care-free, prosperous and happy lot of people. Since then
there has been nothing but dissensions, graft and violence among
themselves. y y
Fostered by the arrogance of the gang in control OF the Butte
Miners union and the Western Federation of Miners, other unions
been n such stories of oppression, chained slavery and mental and
have been subjected to for years. No one who has not lived in it
can have an idea or conception of conditions in Butte, imposed by
labor unions. The present may be the dawn of an evil day, and
nan hone it is, for they have confidence that somewhere and
some time, after the evil day has passed. Butte may again become

Controversy Muolues Nevada

Quite a controversy has lately arisen over the attitude of the Carnegie
situations which have been aided by it. Charges that the Foundation
attempts to rule colleges to which it extends aid were made in New York
City by Thomas w. Churchill, president of the board of education, and
almost simultaneously by Prof NJ. L. Daggy in a lecture at Reno. Prof
effect that the Carnegie Foundation would attempt to dictate the sue
cessor of the late Joseph E. Stubs as president of the University of
Nevada.
The New York Herald has been giving considerable space to the
controversy and in a recent issue said:
Walter F. Pratt, regent of the University of Nevada, who has
lust arrived in this city, declared emphaticaly last night that the
Carnegie Foundation never had attempted to force any of its ideals
upon the university in its Endorsements OF presidents. THE
Foundation he said, requires certain standards of its university
presidents before the college may receive from the fund. 1t has a
perfect right to do so. Todays Herald contains news relative to an
address delivered by Professor NJ. L. Daggy in which he sounds a
harsh note OF warning that the Carnegie Foundation will attempt
to dictate a successor to the late DR.. ] f. Stubs as president of
the University of Nevada. The University of Nevada is not con-
troned by politics, religion or prejudice, and this attack is most
unfair both to the Foundation and to the regents of the university.
Not so much as a suggestion. either directly or indirectly, has come
from the Foundation regarding DR.. Stubs successor
Walter Pratt of Goldfeld. one of the University of Nevada regents
went to Ohio some time ago to attend the funeral OF the late President
Stubs and has since been making a tour of the east. He is thoroughly
familiar with the affairs of the University of Nevada and any statement
made by him relative to the conditions surrounding Carnegie Founda-
ton aid may be relied upon.

The United States bureau of mines is to have an appropriation OF
100000 this year for scientific Investigations concerning the mining,
preparation, treatment and utilization of ores and other mineral sub
stances, with a view to Improving health conditions, increasing safety,
efficiency and economic development, and conserving resources through
the prevention of waste in the mining, quarrying, mealurgical and
other mineral industries, says the Mining and Scientific Press. More
particularly the money is to be used in connection with the study of the
waste and deleterious products from smeters, especially copper smell
tiers, and the general damage to the community arising from smelter
fume. In asking for the appropriation, the director, } A. Holmes, told
the house committee n appropriations that the gases contained chiefly
SULPHUR and arsenic, other substances being given off in much smaller
quantities. An idea as tic the amount of gases given off, he said, might
be gained from the fact that one smelter i'll Montana gives off 1000
tons of SULPHUR per day. The damage here extends for miles be-
vond y added MIR. Holmes. In case of another sneter, in California,
the damage can be traced twenty-five miles where the drift of the wind

There have been very gross and misleading stories published
in the east BY special representatives and others about the causes
of present conditions in Butte. 1t isl not a fight between the CON
servatves' led by President Burt Riley of the Miners union and
the l. w. ". in the district. There are l. w. w. men in the revolt,
and they have been the leaders in the violence and destruction
that has been carried on, but the very large percentage of the
rebels are the best and most peaceabe element among the miners
in ~Butte-American and English miners. The destructive ek-
ment among them are the direct action of socialists who came to
Butte, and have grown in impudence under the fostering care and
cultivation of the Duncan socialist administration, for which the
people of Butte themselves are to a great extent responsible.

he broke the American altitude record by topping Mount Whitney, the
highest peak in the United States, and his record Of achievements is one
of unbroken successes. The people of Goldheld are fortunate to be able
to witness the performances of this master anman.
Many visitors will be here tomorrow and Saturday, coming from
Las Vegas and intervening towns; from Millers, Tonopah and other
points. A great fight card has been arranged for lovers of the fstic
game; there will be dances, a mardi gras parade, drilling contests, free
shows at the Exchange for the women and children, the regular Fourth
|of July parade will be one of the most pretenious that has ever been
given in Goldfed; in fact, there will be special features to suit every
fancy in the line of entertainment. Christoferson will make his flights
from the baseball park Saturday afternoon and on Sunday there will
be horse races. 1t will be a grand time in the old camp.
The committees having charge of the arrangements for the celebr.-
ton deserve the thanks of the entire community for the able and treless
manner in which they have done their work. Nothing has been left
.undone to insure the thorough enjoyment of the people.

Mining lawyers who had followed the case were not greatly sur
prised that the United States supreme court found in favor of the
Southern Pacific in the oil land suit brought by Burke, says the Mining
and Scientific Press. The only really new point decided was that oil is
| a mineral and therefore that known oil land is mineral land. That the
government alone has the right to question title, once patent has been
ISSUED, is not new, and that acceptance of classification by the govern
ment at the time patent was issued was final, except on showing of
fraud. is also old doctrine. In the cases still to be heard, and which
are n suits brought by the department of justice, this question OF
fraud will be crucial. Incidentally there are technical questions of APP
|plcaton of the statute of limitations, but practically the point to be
determined is whether Southern Pacific officials knew, and concealed
their knowledge, that the lands i'll question were on-bearing at the time
they were claimed as non-mineral. This is a question of evidence.

NoW the Suffragists

Justice, not chivary, is what the suffragists say they want. The
eem to be getting it in California, according to Helen Dare VIII
writes in the San Francisco Chronicle as follows:
The changed status of woman in the social scheme, and the
changed attitude mot to say sentiment) of men toward her
brought about by the demands and defamation of the advanced
sisters-are evidenced not only in the masculine rush for street.
inine) corners; and in the studied, deliberate, indeed, ostentatious
and haunting Withholding of the small courtesies that therefore,
were extended to woman as her just due but in the LAWN the
law that is no respecter of persons.
Not only do the resigned or, perhaps, disgruntled -menfoks
concede woman equal rights on the street cars (f she can batter
and ram her way in to get them leave her to open and close
doors herself, carry her own suitcase, go home alone onghts,
pay her own way (and theirs, too, if she has a penchant for their
society,", and take her chance with the hindmost of getting room
in the elevators and a view of the parades, but here we have just
the other day-the significant instance in the divorce court OF a
provide for her on the ground that she was, during the period of
his unproductiveness, providing for herself.
Thus we have the precedent established that if the wife has
a lob the law will not release her from al idle husband merely
because he is idle, a non-provider.
Furthermore (you see nobody can foresee where this thing
will carry u.s., now that we've got it started) if a wife can't look
to her husband for support, or get rid of him when she has a job
of her own; and if, as is possible, she may be required to go on
working lust because she knows how; isn't it within the probabli-
ties that dissatisfied husbands seeking their freedom will be stick
ing their economically Independent wives for court costs, attor-
neys fees-and alimony?
Now that we've got it going who can tell how it will work out;
and who-among the ants or "suffs-can prophesy whether it
will be to the benefit, or the reverse, of the welded?

Oil men o the Pacific coast have become SO used to big wells that
even the Iakeview No. ?, flowing 10000 barrels per day, has created
little excitement, says the Mining World. Elsewhere it is different,
but then conditions differ too. All Japan was flutterng last month
when the Nippon Oil company brought in a 1900 barrel well about
10 miles from Akta in the Echigo field. But then the total daily pro-
duchon of Japan had previously been but half that and the largest in
dividual wells before had yielded but 800 or 400 barrels per day.
American operators are interested in the new Japanese discovery be-
cause the Nippon Oil company adopted the California rotary rig and
took over a crew of drill men from this country two years ago, since
when their results have been greatly improved. A big olheld in the
Orient would help all oil operators, since it would encourage more Of
the steamers to burn petroleum.
