To the teachings OF the Catholic
church upon the early cIVliza tions we
owe our lofty conception of woman,
Among the Romans and the ba rbar-
ians woman was chattel and n
slave. The church taught that the
greatest thing ever created was
woman. This in itself was a great
and powerful influence on every phase

Met Persecution.

This church was born in The age
OF Roman civilization. 1t, was not at
the time when the Roman civilza-
ton was at its zenitb, but it was
high order OF civilization according
to our definition. For the first 500
years the church was persecutcd-
until the wear 315, when the cdic, Of
Emperor Constantine provided that IL
should not be prosecuted longer, but
should be tolerated.
The church had had its effect on
that Roman civiliza ton during those
three centuries. II had infused the
spirit of the gospel OF Christ into
civilization. 1t was then, really, that
the church commenced her public
ministry
But at this time great calamity
occurred. Just AS The church was
getting its hold on Roman civiIiza-

REVIEW OF Mining OPERATIONS IN G0LDFIELD DISTRICT

Though to lesser degree than the
silver camps of the state, the Gold
field district continues to feel the
evil effects of the great conflict in
Europe. However, considering the
uneasiness of investors and holders of
mining securities and their uncer-
tainty as to the financial outlook, this
district is giving a splendid account
of itself, due primarily to the fact
that it's product is largely gold, the
price of which is not affected like that
of silver. and copper.
That mining conditions, insofar as
affected by the European tangIe, are
gradually returning to normal is re-
fiected by the fact that within few
days the San Francisco stock ex-
change, the great medium OF ex-
change of the western mining world,
will resume it's calls after sus-
pension of several weeks. Calls of
Comstock stocks were resumed on
the exchange Wednesday and those
of Goldfield and TonOpah issues were
to have been made Friday and next
Monday, respectively. However, the
directors of the exchange decided
Thursday to postpone the resumption
of calls of the local and Tonopah
stocks until next Wednesday. For
the benefit of holders of stocks listed
there the directors of the San Fran
cisco exchange early this week OBJ
tanned extensions of time for the pay
ment of assessments, and calls on Sc
curities falling due before the re-
sumption of calls. Among the COM
panies granting the request was the
SandstOrm-Kendall Consolidated Min
ing company, which further extended
the time of the payment of call of
one cent a share, levied about six
weeks ago, from August 20 to Au-
gust 80.

A. II. Howe. secretary and treas
ured of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company. returned to camp
yesterday from a two weeks visit to
San Francisco. Speaking of bust
ness conditions on the coast, he said:
General conditions seem to be
good. Bankers speak hopefully and
seem to be free from apprehension
as to the European war. San Fran
cisco has received its quota of the
emergency funds provided by the
government, it's share being approx
mately 100000. Many of the
banks have not availed themselves
of their individual quotas. not feel
ing the necessity of doing so.
The bankers are all optimistic as
to the fair next year and believe that
a great deal of travel which goes to
Europe will, on account of the war,
help San Francisco. They say the
appropriations of foreign govern
ments for the fair are all in San
Francisco at the present time.
"Goldfield is in more fortunate
position than most of the other min
ing camps on account of its product

VERNAL LESSEES
EXTRACTING ORE
REVEAL EIGHT-INCH STREAK
OF GOOD ORE ON 2OO-FOOT
LEVEL

Walter Fitzgerald and Leonard
Peterson, the two miners employed
by the Vernal Mining company who
took a lease on the property in the
Diamondfield district about ten days
ago when the management decided
to suspend operations on account of
the uncertainty of financial condi-
tions, due to the war in Europe, are
meeting with success in their ven-
ture. They have lease for a period
of three months on a twenty-five
per cent fiat royalty basis.
During the last week the lessees
advanced the south drift on the 200
foot level sufficiently to reveal the
downward extension of the ore body
opened up by the S5-foot winze be-
low the south drift on the 100-foot
level. In addition to consider
able body of low quartz, they have
opened up an eight-inch streak of
ore that averages around $50. AL
though they have just started rails
ing on the ore, they have extracted
and sacked about six tons of ore.

MAKES INSPECTION
VISIT TO PROPERTY
j. X. TURNER TELLS OF WORK
AT GRANITE MOUNTAIN
GROUND

J. X. Turner, consulting engineer
of the Granite Mountain Mining COM
pany, returned Thursday from two
days visit of inspection to the prop
erty of the company IN the Gold
Mountain district, near Bonnie Clare.
The property adjoins the old Butte
Goldfield ground, and conditions pre-
vailing augur we'll for its future.
Engineer Turner reports that driv-
ing west continues on the big vein
from the 1670-foot north crosscut
tunnel. The drift was started about
a month ago and had already gained
a length of about 100 feet. 1t is cal
culated that it will be necessary to
advance it about 100 feet further to
catch at a depth of 1900 feet the
downward extension of the surface
groupings, which are forty feet wide
and assay from IS to SIS ton.
Within the next few weeks the work
ing force at the property will be in
creased and drifting east from the
crosscut tunnel will begin.

PICK CON.
IS GOING AHEAD
WORK is BEING CONFINED TO
WINE BELOW 5OO-FOOT
LEVEL

notwithstanding the recent reduc-
tion in its working force, due to un-
settled financial conditions conse-
quent upon the European war, high
ly pleasing results continue to be
obtained by the management of the
Silver Pick Mines company in
the development of it's property.
Superintendent Walter s. Norris is
optimistic as to the future and
thinks that as soon as financial con-
ditions again become normal he will
be instructed to resume work on the
old scale.
Operations in the property at
present are being confined to the
sinking of winze below the south
drift from the east crosscut along
the hanging wall of the big vein on
the 500-foot level. The winze is now
sixty feet deep and the entire bot
tom is giving encouraging assays

MANSON TELLS OF
METALS MARKET
ORE PURCHASING COMPANY Of
FICIAL TAKES HOPEFUL
VIEW OF FUTURE

Although the metals market is,
to use a slangy expression, pretty
well shot to pieces at present,
look to see sixty or sixty-five cent
silver within the next sixty days."
said Frank M. Manson of Reno and
Salt Lake City, general manager of
the Western Ore Purchasing COM
pany, operating in Nevada, and the
Utah Ore Sampling company, oper-
ating in the neighboring state, who
is at present a visitor in Goldfield.
Continuing, Mr.. Manson said:
Notwithstanding the fact that the
European conflict has badly Grip
pied mining operations, especially
silver and copper, it will ultimately
benefit the industry. Throughout
Nevada and Utah and, in fact. all
the silver mining states, many of the
mines have closed down or are work
ing only upon small scale as be-
tween Nevada and Utah. the former
has been the hardest hit, on account
of the greater content of copper in
the ores. The smelters have reduc-
ed their operations fully two-thirds.
The officials of such plants have re-
quested the mine operators to CO.
operate with them in minimizing the
production, and the latter hav
shown disposition to be governed
by the request.
hn
is practically the sole purchaser of
silver. This policy has been inaugu-
rated to relieve the tenseness of the
situation. I understand from good
sources that the government during
the lack of other purchasers will buy
from 100000 to 100000 ounces
per week. The government purchas-
es are being made through the
smelters, which are making provis-
ional settlements as follows: Cop
per, 10 cents; silver, 25 cents; lead,
1886 cwt. On silver ore purchased
between July 81 and August II,
when the government made its first
purchase Of silver. the smelters ad
justed their provisional settlements
of 25 cents an ounce by paying the
producers a total of SO cents. The
25 cent rate on silver has been again
established, subject to adjustment.
and producers of shipping silver orc
will receive full settlement upon the
price fixed by the government on its
next purchase. which will be made
in a day or two. AS soon as the
present bill before congress provid-
ing for governmental war risk ir-
surance becomes effective, the ship
ments of silver to Europe will be
resumed and the price of white met
al will then ascend. At present sill
yer is in demand in London at "a

BIG PUMPS FOR
MERGER SHAFT
WILL BE SHIPPED FROM EAST
ABOUT THE FIRST OF
MONTH

Unless present calculations 60
awry, the two big pumps ordered
for the st. Ives or main working
shaft of the Goldfield Merger Mines
company will be shipped from the
plant of the manufacturers in Day
ton, Ohio, on September 1. A. 1.
Darcy, manager of the Merger and
Atlanta properties, the latter of
which is operated through the shaft
of the former, figures that the pumps
will be delivered here about Sep
tember Is, in which event operations
will be resumed on October 1 or
soon thereafter.
One of the pumps will be six
inch centrifugal affair and the other
a 6k by 15-inch triplex. Both will
have a capacity of 500 gallons a
minute. The centrifugal pump will
be installed at the station on the
175O-foot level. 1t will raise the
water, which gravitates into the bot
tom of the 1800-foot shaft from the
long southwest crosscut on the 1850
foot level into the Atlanta ground
to the 1325-foot level station, from
which point to the surface it will
be handled by the triplex. The
pumps at present on the two levels
named will be left intact for use as
auxiliaries should occasion arise.

SAYS GOLDFIELD DISTRICT LOOKS
AS GOOD TODAY AS in IT'S INFANCY

or the other Ultimately, I think
the United States will be benefited
by the conflict-not only in mining,
but in numerous other ways. In
about three months the warning ma
tions will begin their real buying of
foodstuffs from this country.
"As to the outcome Of the conflict,
it is my opinion that the German
kaiser is going to be whipped, and
whipped good; he cannot possibly
hope to defeat the forces of the
many nations arrayed against his
army. However, he will not be cas-
lily whipped. When I was in Eu-
rope last winter I predicted the war
which is being waged at present. All
the nations were then preparing for
war and mobilizing their armies, es-
pecially Germany Russia had on
it's frontier 1.650,000 men, ready for
action: Germany had 100000,
France 100000, and England about
100000. England and France were
afraid to go to bed at night lest
Germany would attack them while
they slept
while in Europe I visited the
city of Liege, which has been prac-
tically the storm-center of the con-
f1ict thus far, and also Waterloo,
only a short distance away, the
scene of the defeat of the great Ma
poleon. Having previously read Vic
tor Hugo's Battle of Waterloo I
was able to easily pick out the vari-
GUS points on the famous battlefield,
even the well down which three hun
dred bodies of dead and wounded
followers of the Little Corporal
were thrown. The defeat of Ma
poleon by the allied forces occurred
on June 18. 1915, and I would not
be surprised if it's centenary were
commemorated by fighting on the
same ground"
