Walter E. Pratt and J. Emmett
Walsh, candidates for the demo-
cratic nominations for county clerk
and treasurer and district Judge, re-
spectively, sustained painful, though
not serious, injuries in an automo-
bile accident about $3.50 o'clock last
night, when the car in which they
were returning from Blair, in COM
pany with Mike Brunnett and
William Straub. ran into a sand
dune on Alkali dry lake, west Of
Goldfield. Mr.. Pratt had the lit
tie finger of his left hand broken,
and Mr.. Walsh suffered a laceration
of the scalp, which required three
stitches to close.
Messrs. Pratt and Walsh went to
Blair early yesterday morning on a
campaign visit in separate cars, the
former accompanying Brunnett and
the latter DR.. Baker. The latter de-
cided to remain owe night there,
and Mr.. Walsh came back in the
Brunnett car. which left that camp

ing over the dry lake when it sud-
denly struck the sand dune. Mr..
Pratt, who was sitting beside Mr..
Brunnett. at the wheel, was thrown
out and hurled a distance of about
fifty feet. He was rendered mo-
mentarily unconscious. MI. Walsh
suffered a cut in his scalp by being
thrown against one of the ribs sup
porting the top of the machine. Mr..
Straub was slightly bruised.
The machine, but little damaged,
was driven to Alkali Springs, where
Messrs. Straub and Brunnett re-
NAMED over night. Soon after the
arrival of the party there, Milton
Detch and q party of friends in his
car put in an appearance at the
springs and brought the injured
candidates to Goldfeld. DR.. D. A..

VISION OF EUROPE IN FLAM


Mongolian-Slav. He is already walk
ing the earth-a man of active af-
fairs. He himself does not now
realize the mission assigned to him
by a superior power.
And behold the flame of the
torch, which has already begun to
destroy our family relations, our
standards of art and morals. The
relation between woman and man Is
accepted as a prosaic partnership Of
the X Art has become realistic
degeneracy. Political and religious
disturbances have shaken, the spirit
ual foundations of all nations. Only
small spots here and there have re-
manned untouched by those three
destructive flames. The anti-nation-
al wars in Europe, the class war Of
America and the race wars in Asia
have strangled progress for half a
century. l see a hero of literature
and art rising from the ranks of the
Latins and purging the world Of the
tedious stuff of the obvious. 1t is
the light of symbolism that shall
outshine the light of the torch of
cOmmercialism. In place of the po-
'lygamy and monogamy of today
there will be a poetogamy a re-
lation of the sexes based fundamen-
tally upon poetic conceptions of life.
And l see the nations growing
wiser, and realizing that the alluring
woman of their destinies is, after all,
nothing but an illusion. There will
be a time when the world will have
no use for armies, hypocritical re-
ligions and degenerate art. Life Is
evolution, and evolution is develop
ment from the simple to the more
complicated forms of the mind and
body. 1 see the passing show Of the
world-drama in it's present form,
how it fades like the glow of eve
ming upon the mountains. One mo-
ton of the hand of commercialism
and a ne whistory begins"
According to the kaiser, it is one
of the most impressive literary
prophecies of the age.

Wheeler mine at Pine Grove and are
arranging to concentrate the material
and ship the concentrates to the smell
ter. The old Wheeler property is
owned by Pope and Talbot, capitalists
of San Francisco. There are some
1000 IONS of the tailings and they
contain a content of between IS and
Sc in gold. Messers. Knox and Ross
are going to concentrate the tailings
either by blanket sluicing or some
concentration process. There is plenty
of water for all purposes and If con-
centrators are put in a small gaso-
line engine will be installed to run
them. The lessees are to pay a roy
atty of so cents per ton for the tall
ings.
The Smith Valley Mines company
is pushing work in the way of open
ing up its orebody. The showing on
the first level is very good. On the
200-foot level the crosscut is getting
ingto the ore, although some distance
will have to be run yet before reach
ing the point under the ore in the OPP
per levels. The property seems to
verify what we have said about its
making a big mine.
From the report of tonnage re-
ceived at the Thompson smelter this
week it will be seen, comparing the
report with that of last week, that
the tonnage is increasing instead of
falling off, which indicate that the
smelter will not cease operations just
at present, Notwithstanding the re-
ports and rumors that it is to close
down.
William Dexheimer and Con. Alex
ander have taken a lease on a por-
ton of the Wheeler mine at Mount
Grant. They have a nice showing
and expect to have out a nice little
shipment of ore very shortly out of
wrich they will make a nice little
clean-up.-Yerington Times.

OF SUBMARINE CABLE


Today there are about $780,
600 miles of cable submerged
in the oceans, CULTS and estu-
aries of the world. These are
divided into over $500 cable
systems, thirteen of which are
owned by the United States
government. More than three
score of these systems connect
the United States with Europe
and r carrying more than
25,000,OOO words between
England and America every
year. They are carrying the
news of the world almost as
soon as events occur, and are
conveying business and social
messages between the nations
that are bound by it's ties in a
bond of friendship that has not
been disturbed by war since
the first message was despatch
ed. Today certain messages
can be despatched to England
from New York at the rate of a
few cents per word; a half CEN
fury ago messages cost at the
rate Of twenty words for 500.
These messages travel at a
marvellous rate. Recently a
test of the time required to
send a commercial message of
nine words around the world
made a record of 1871 min
utes. 1t travelled a distance
of 28,613 miles and was relay
ed sixteen times. At the open
ing of the Pacific cable in
1900, President Roosevelt sent
a message around the world in
9k minutes. But, unlike the
test of the commercial mes
sage, it had the royal right

relay stations had been fore
warned not to delay its de-

THEN

Fifty-six years ago today the
worlds first submarine cable
message flashed under the At
lantic ocean from England to
the United States. The event
signaled the opening of the
Atlantic cable. The historic
message, which shot under the
seas from Queen Victoria of
England to President Buchan-
an of the United States, was a
message of courtesy and
friendship. The president re-
piled in part: May the At
lantic telegraph prove to be a
bond of perpetual peace and
friendship between the nations,
and an instrument designed by
Divine Providence to diffuse
religion. civilization, liberty
and law throughout the
world" The following day
was given up to celebration in
tlo IWO OttutI lCo. III tAO
United States the cities lying
east of the Mississippi celebrat-
ed with the firing of guns and
the ringing of bells. In New
York the citizens were awak-
ened early in the morning by
a cannon salute of 100 guns.
The salute was repeated at
noon. Church dignitaries met
and held religious services;
The populace paraded with
bands of music, while all the
church bells rang continuous
ly. The buildings were deco
rated, some having banners
picturing the queen and the
president grasping hands over
the legend Reciprocity" The
flags of the two nations were
entwined over their heads.
That night the city was bril-
liantly illuminated.

NEvADA-DOUGLAS
HAS new FINDS
EIGHT TO TEN PER CENT ORE
FOUND IN CASTING
COPPER

A. J. Orem, president of the Ne
lia-Douglas Copper company, says
That reports recently received from
the mines may be summarized as fol-
lows:
Recent development work in diff
ferent sections of the Casting Cop
per-, as we'll as the Ludwig, has
brought to light some very crafty
ing results in the way of new finds
of high-grade ore, and the property
has not looked so well for six
months past, from a standpoint OF
high-grade ore in sight, as it looks
today. In a drift which was I'll in
an easterly direction along the lime
stone contact on the 100 level of
the Casting Copper, ore running
from eight to ten per cent In copper
contents was encountered during the
last week. Work is still being
pushed ahead in this ~high-grade ore,
which has every indication of open
ing up into another very important
body of ore Of shipping grade.
In the 1O0-foot level of the Lud-
wig the tonnage of high-grade ore
in sight has been more than doubled
in the last two weeks. We have
made some very important finds of
high-grade ore back in the lime
stone footwall. This ore is running
from nine to eleven per cent in cop
per in shipments, and the tonnage
mined is being increased at this
point daily.
Each carload of SO tons gives us
a net profit over and above all min
ing, freight and treatment charges
of about $500. 1t would seem that
we have enough ore in sight OF this
character to keep us going for sew
eral months to come, and If the cop
per market situation, which at pres
ent seems completely d~emoralized,
will u anything like normal
conditions, we should be able to
realize a nice profit on the ores
shipped to the smelter, pending our
mill construction. The grading on
the mill siding is now virtually COM
pleted, and the grading for the mill,
as we'll as the ore bin construction,
will be started at once.

In the making of coke In this
country the beehive type of ven is
generally used, and the valuable by
products, including the ammonia,
valued at millions of dollars, are al
lowed to escape. Calculated from
the amount Of coal used in these in
dustries in the United States, the an
nual production of ammonium sui
plate should be approximately 64O,-
900 tons, valued at $4,000, 600.
Actually $1,S4O,O0O are being pro-
duced.
One of the big Independent steel
companies is about to invest $4,000
900 in by-product coke ovens, and
will place the ammonia on the mar
ket for fertilizer purposes.
1t is also said that the United
States Steel corporation. after send
ing it's engineers abroad more than
a year ago to investigate coke-mak-
ing, has, as a result, decided gradu-
ally to DID away with its ol%d-fashion-
ed, wastsful beehive coke ovens and
save the by-products.
1t is true of some American wooden
mills that what goes down the river
in waste would constitute a hand
some profit for the same mill in a
foreign country. But American man
ufacturers are waking up to the folly
of such waste.
Tho utilization nf rnftnnCnod and
cotton seed oil, until recent years a
waste product of the cotton crop, Is
now valued in the United States
alone at 5O,O0O,OOO a year.
The Standard Oil company is a
marvel of scientific management in
the matter of waste prevention. Ell
bert Hubbard enthusiastically says
of that much discussed corporation:
'It has stopped the leaks, taken up
the economic slack, reduced friction
and rendered a service to the world
that is the nearest approach to bust
ness perfection of any example that
can be named"
Briefly summarized, some of the
principal ways in which waste is now
being eliminated on a large scale in
clude these:
Water powers are being utilized to
a greater extent.
Timber cutting in the national for
ests is carefully controlled.
Resources of coal are being pro-
tected, although millions In miner
ais are still being wasted, the ma
tional bureau of mines reports.
Steel scrap is being converted into
Bessemer.
There are laws to insure the health
and safety of workmen.
We are making successful war on
disease.
We are introducing more practical
ideas in education, fitting young peo-
ple to earn an honorable living along
chosen lines.
We are installing a new reserve
bank and currency system by which
the supply of money will expand and
contract in accordance with the de-
mands of business, so that 1t will

The fact that Adgie Costello's troup
of ten trained lions will be the feature
attraction at Paxtang Park this week
calls to mind the terrible tragedy con-
nected with this act and that only a
few weeks ago. While Adgie was
playing in Chicago, Emerson DIETRICH,
her trainer and accepted suitor, was
literally torn to pieces by this same
den of savage beasts
The story of Detrich's fatal romance
forms one of the most gruesome
tragedies of the stage. The man was
an adventurer and fearless. He be-
came a lion trainer with the full
knowledge of the danger connected
with the job. DIETRICH fell in love
with Miss Costello and took every op-
portunity to display fearlessness when
around the lions.
Although 1t was no part of Deit-
rich's duty to enter the cages, he
made pets of the animals and fire.
quently entered their den. OF all the
lions which Miss Adgie owned. Teddy,
powerful young beast, just grown
from cubhood, was the furiest and the
one she loved best. She was anxious
for Emerson to love him, too, and
the lad spent much time ingratiating
himself with the beast. In addition to
Teddy, Trilby, an old lioness, received
considerable attention at Deitrich's
hands.
A few weeks ago, while the lions
were ENGAGED in = special animal car
in the yards of the Santa Fe Rail-
road in Chicago, where they were to
,be shown at Chicago theater, the
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-08-24

end of young Deitrich's romance was
enacted.
In the car there was a large cage
known as the arena cage" where
Teddy, Trilby and four full grown lions
were permitted to roam at will. In
another cage was a year old cub that
had been injured in an accident. Deit-
rich visited the car to see how the
| injured cub was faring. Then he
visited the arena cage to pay his re-
spects to the big lions.
When DIETRICH opened the door and
snaplocked it behind him the lions
were pacing about, barring their fangs
and growing discontentedly, and they
drew back and fenced at the bars as
the scent of human being filled their
| dry nostrils. DIETRICH undoubtedly
saw trouble ahead, but he was too
courageous to retire. Such cowardice
his fiance could never have forgiven.
| Trilby, the old lioness, paced past Deit-
rich, seemingly without recognition,
but Teddy, the grown up cub, recog-
nized his friend and playmate with
roar and launched his tawney body
at him with a spring that took him
half way across the cage.
The heavy padded paws of the
young lion struck DIETRICH fairly on
the shoulders, and he was carried
down to the floor with the young lion
astraddle of his body.
Teddy cleared himself from the
PROSTATE form of DIETRICH and rolled
over on his side. But another towney
| body flashed through the air and a
great paw with claws unsneathed rak-tf
