owners SANGU|NE
TERVIEW UPON RETURN
FROM COAST

George Wingfield, who returned
this morning from the coast, states
that conditions there are undisturbed
and that that there is no vestige of
excitement, says the Reno Gazette.
In conversation with bankers and
smelter men, as well as with finan-
ciers in other lines, he learned that
a sanguine feeling with respect to
the future value of the metal mar
ket prevails.
"All Nevada producers are in ex-
cellent strategic position" he said,
with respect to present and future
markets, and there Is no reason why
the producers of silver should feel
alarm. The owners of gold mines
are in an especially good position.
The properties with which I am con-
cerned are in excellent shape.
"Goldfeld Consolidated will con-
tinue to turn out from 100000 to
$350,O00 a month. Buckhorn is put
ting out $4,000 a month, and Auro-
ra may be depended on for $4,000
a month, all in gold, while Nevada
Hills has a gold content of from so
to 35 per cent in it's total output of
$4,000 a month, which makes a to-
tai for these properties alone of
about 100000 a year in gold.
There is a general impression in
San Francisco that business cOndi-
tions on the coast, as we'll as through
out the United States, will shortly
greatly improve. I believe this fore
cast to be correct, and, for one, l am
not alarmed over the prospect, but
feel that we are on the verge of a
huge financial and commercial re-
vival, such as would not have oc-
Cured if this deplorable war had not
plunged all Europe into misery"

COLD WEATHER IN ENGLAND
WIPES OUT YOUNG GROUSE

LONDON, Aug. Is. = The grouse
shooting season opened In Great
Britain on Aug. IL, but the prospects
are for smaller bags than usual, ow-
ing to two misfOrtunes. The cold
spell of last spring wiped out the
early broods in certain areas and
destroyed the clutches of eggs in eX-
posed places. In southern and east
ern Scotland a mysterious disease,
believed to be due to the bad wealth
er and unsuitable food, destroyed
many birds. Worst of all, was the
loss of about half of the breeding
stock.

NEW CENSUS OF CANAL
ZONE MADE BY POLICE

PANAMA, Aug. Is. A new cen
sus of the canal zone has just been
completed by the canal police. The
total population was found to be
37,961, composed of 1O,070 Ameri-
cans and 1881 aliens. A compari-
son with the figures of the census of
February, 1914, shows that during
the interval 1885 persons have de-
parted from the canal one The
previous census showed a total popu-
lation of 1926, of whom 1896
were Americans and 35,401 were
aliens.

NEVADA C|NNABAR
PREPARES TO SHIP

The Nevada Cinnabar company,
and one-half miles east of lone, New,
is preparing a shipment of Quicksil-
YER. There are at present at Battle
Mountain 165 TASKS of seventy-five
pounds each of that metal. Between
$50 and 500 TASKS make up a ship
ment.
The ore, which occurs in rhyolite
in the form of red crystals, known as
cinnabar crystals, is mined in open
cuts at the property. 1t is crushed
to about walnut size in jaw crushers
with a daily capacity of 1875 tons, af-
ter which it is put through a series of
revolving screens. where it is dried.
Conveyors carry it from these to the
bins above the furnaces, to which it
is fed. The temperature of the fur
naces is maintained at $50 degrees
centigrade.
This temperature u the ore to
release the metal in the form of
fumes, which, passing to the con-
densers, collect as free quicksilver
and SCOT. The furnaces are so con-
structed that a tram car may be run
under them to collect the waste rock.
The SCOT and free quicksilver is then
removed to tables, where the product
is treated with lime, which causes the
quicksilver to run off in a marketable
shape. 1t is then placed in TASKS and
is ready for shipment.
The plant of the Nevada Cinnabar
company was erected at a cost of
10000 and employs about twenty
men. Five-ton trucks are used to
haul the TASKS from the plant to Bat
tie Mountain. Final figures from
every quicksilver producing district
in the United States, according to H.
d. McClaskey of the United States
geological survey, give a domestic
output for 1913 of 20,213 TASKS of
seventy-five pounds each, the total
value of which was $S13,171. Pro-
ducers report 154,033 short IONS of
ore mined and available for treat
ment in 1913. The Nevada CHINA
bar company has enough ore blocked
out to keep the plant operating at
full capacity, according to the man
agement, for the next five years.

NOW

Today the civilized nations
of the world are conducting a
universal war against the tu-
bercle bacilli. Millions of dol
lars are being spent to con-
quer this enemy of the human
race. In the United States ov-
er 100000 is being ex-
pended annually for this pur-
pose. Science and common
sense are forcing the little
germ to retreat. The death
rate in twenty years has fallen
from a ratio of 245.4 to 1853
per 100. 900 population. Ex-
pert medical researchers are
at work searching for a spe-
cific cure. while the nations
are conducting a vast educa-
tional campaign to prevent the
spread of the disease. Physi-
clans have long known that the
bacilli Turk in everyone's sys-
tenn waiting for the vitality to
sink to a low ebb. when they
al begin their fearful
scourge. Consequently, the
universal campaign to make
everyone strong enough to re-
sist the destroyers. The world
has thrown open it's windows
to let in sunlight and fresh
air, knowing that these are IA
tai to the bacilli. The old fear
of might air" has given way
to the practice of living.
sleeping and working out of
doors where the bacilli cannot
follow and live. Economically
considered, 1T is a great fight to
save to the United States alone
over half a billion dollars
which an authority has said is
the annual money loss to the
nation through the loss of the
afflicted individuals wages
and value of production.

Jumbo Extension


A great mass of interesting
tailed data and figures is contained
in the report the Jumbo Extension
Mining company is at present sending
to stockholders of production and
operations for the seventeen months
ending May 81 last. The present
management determined to have the
report cover the period named for
the reason that its predecessor did
not furnish stockholders a statement
for the year 1913. The report fixes
$25O,OOO as the value of the ore
blocked out on two or more sides in
the old Poleverda workings and the
Velvet claim, acquired several
months g from the Goldfield Mer-
ger Mines company.
Consulting Engineer j. X. Turner
states, in the report, that during the
first five months of the present year
the mine produced 1858 wet tons of
ore, of which 1924 were milled and
2,41S shipped to shelters. The net
realization from the output was $751;
314.95. A total of 1893 feet of de
velopment work was accomplished
during the same period at a total
cost of $~9,717.0S or an average cost
Of $5.71 per foot. The mining and
development costs were 1913 per
ton. The cost of mining, develop
ment, milling and marketing was
$685. per ton of ore produced. The
total operating expense, including
construction, was SIG per ton of
ore produced.
Florence GOldfield
The Florence mine has shipped
thus far this month to the Millers
sampler of the Western Ore Purchas-
ing company three carloads or ap-
proximately $50 IONS of ore, two car
loads being despatched during the
last week, according to General SUI
perintendent Harry B. Clapp, who,
with his wife, recently returned from
a months vacation outing at San
Francisco and other coast points.
There has been no appreciable
change in conditions in the mine
during the last week, the various
workings in ore producing their usual
output.

Operations at depth in the prop
erty of the Goldfield Orc Mining
company are steadily growing more
interesting and Manager Thomas +.
Manning expresses himself as highly
pleased with the conditions obtain
ing. Drifting north continues on tie
S1O-foot level and a crosscut to Oh
termine the width of the vein and
for exploratory purposes has been
started in that drift at a point about
100 feet from the shaft. Work is
soon to be resumed in the east cross
cut through the vein from the south
drift on the S10-foot level. Cross
cutting west continues on the roo
foot level and a drift south on the
same level has just been started.

GERM OF TUBERCULOSIS
THEN

Thirty-two years ago today
was discovered the fatal germ
of tuberculosis which had caus-
ed more deaths since the be-
ginning of the human family
than any other disease. It's
discoverer was DR.. Robert
Koch of Germany. who spent
two years in patient labora-
tory research before he finally
located the little destroyer, too
small to be seen by the naked
eye, by the researchers meth
cd of staining the suspected
germ with chemicals. The dis
covery changed the whole
worlds attitude toward tuber-
culosis. Since the days of the
ancient Asyrians the destroy
ing germ has ravaged human
ity. Moses witnessed its fear
full devastations among the
Egyptians, and in all the sue
cessive generations at least ev-
cry sixth human being was at
some time affected by it's pres
ence in the blood. Less than
a half century ago the disease
was regarded as fatal and
hopeless" Oliver Wendall
Holmes, who was a physician
as we'll as an author, described
the average medical practition-
er's acceptance of it's fatality
in his tale of the Professor
at the Breakfast Table" Some
people regarded it as a Divine
a~ffliction upon the human race,
and an indication of mankind's
degeneration. Thirty years
ago Europe was reporting over
100000 deaths every year
from tuberculosis. while the
United States al reporting at
the rate of $50 every day.

and other states being forced to
close down will be eliminated.
In his telegram of Friday to Sec
rotary McAdoo, President ,Kirchen
requested that he use his influence
to have congress authorize the pur-
chase of twenty-five million ounces
of silver. To make such a purchase
it will be necessary for congress to
take special action, and 1t is the
opinion of President Kirchen, based
upon advices received yesterday from
Washington, hat such will be taken
within the next few days. The tele-
gram of President Kirchen to Secre-
tary McAdoo follows:
ION account of the silver exchange
being closed and no prospects of the
same being opened in the immediate
future, the silver producers of the
state of Nevada are unable to find a
market for their silver. Most of the
silver mines throughout the state will
have to close down unless money can
be secured from the sale of their
product with which to continue OPP
erations. The Nevada Mine Opera
tors association has today request
ed me to wire you to use your infiu-
ence to have congress pass an act
authorizing the secretary of the treas
ury to purchase twenty-five million
ounces of silver at the last market
quotation. By doing so the various
mines throughout the state, as well
as other states, will be able to mar
ket their silver, and thereby get
honey with which to continue opera
lions. The situation is certainly
very critical for the silver mines
throughout the country, and h re-
lief suggested above would be of in
estimable benefit to all the operators,
as we'll as the miners working in the
silver mines. Should no relief come
very soon, a great many thousands OF
men working in the silver mines OF
the country will be out Of employ
ment. Kindly furnish copies of this
telegram to Senator Newlands and
Congressman Roberts, also others
who may be interested"
The replies received by President
Kirchen from Washington included
a telegram from Key Pittman, Unit
ed States senator from Nevada,
which read as follows:
Your telegram relative to pre-.
carious conditions of market for sill
yer and the unfortunate effect on
mines of the state and requesting
that action be taken to obtain pur-
chase of twenty-five million ounces
by the treasury was received. Had
the telegram read to the senate, and
together with other western senators
discussed existing emergency. We
are assured will have active COOP
Grafton of treasury department. Will
take matter up with McAdoo for
definite action at earliest possible
moment"
According to advices received here,
silver was quoted in London yester-
day at 81 cents an ounce.
