POOR OLD JOHN.

John Barleycorn the swaggering, just now is badly staggering beneath repeated blows; for kings say, He is ruinous-dodgast the stuff he's brew in us" and Diff him on the nose. The kings, alert and vigorous, are taking measures rigorous, to swat old John again: He's worse than guns and sabers are" remark the kings, his labOrs are addressed to drowning men. Out where our flags are shim- mering the bottle must go glimmering, it makes the soldier rude; it spells the ardent warrior, and nothing could be sorrier than fighting men half stewed." Thus speak the Lord S anointed ones, and they are the ap- pointed ones their peoples veal to guard; they see that John, the lecher- ous. is vicious, mean and treacherous, and so they soak him hard And if, in Euror0's villages, old John, who stays and pillages, runs up against frost, the war, with all it's slaughtering, that leaves the nations tottering, is well worth what it cost.-Walt Mason.

DRINKERS DEATH RATE HIGH.

Startling evidence of the effect of alcohol on the moderate drinkers is offered by the Life Extension insti- tute The bulletin issued to it's mem bers shows that in one Canadian and three British life insurance companies the mortality among so-called moder- ate drinkers, accepted as temperate
 nd healthy risks, exceeded the death ate among the abstainers by IS, 37, and fl per cent, respectively.
 New data was recently compiled by forty-three American life insurance companies, covering a period of twen- ty-tive years, with the following re- suits: Steady moderate drinkers, ac- cepted as standard risks, death rate S6 per cent above the average. Former drinkers (admitting past eXcesses), ', death rate 50 per cent above the aver- age. Very moderate drinkers, IS per cent above the average
 Experimental laboratory work" says the board of scientific authorities has kept pace with statistical investi- gation and the knowledge gained from the laboratory. not only in experiments on animals, but on man himself, shows that higher death rate among alco- hol users is what we would naturally expect to find in the light of what we know regarding it's effects on the body"

CHICAGO GOING DRY.

Billy Sundays message to Chicago to the effect that Batter Booze has three balls and two strikes called on him." prompted Chicago Tribune to interview some of the downtown sa- loonkeepers. This VI hat one oldtimer said:
 Three balls and two strikes isn't putting it strong enough. The bats half swung on the third strike
 way over the ball. You can go if. one end of the loop to the other and crisscross. and you won't find single saloonkeeper making money. In some where between three and five years this towns going to be dry as Evan and I don't much blame them. It's the women the things hit. Who suf- fers when good fellow making SIS a week. shows his sporting blood by spending four or five of it over the bar on pay day? Say, it's trag- edy for that woman, So, what's she going to do? Just stop it, put her foot down and her vote down. Three balls and two strikes, eh? You can just call that third strike now"
 There's no doubt about it. said another, Chicago is going dry. We all know that, and so far as we are concerned down here in the loop, it might as well be dry now"

ILLINOIS GOING DRY.

Illinois had twenty-eight prohibi- tion counties when the women were asked to assist in destroying the sa- loon by their votes. They responded by driving them out of twenty-three additional counties at the first cleo tion. Four more counties were made dry this year, making a total of fifty five. Seventy county seats are dry;
 1,234 out of 1,430 townships in the state have outlawed the saloon. Not one foot of dry territory has been changed to wet during the two years from May 1, 1913, to May 1, 1915.

ATTITUDE OF CATHOLIC CHURCH.

"All the great Catholic societies re- fuse membership to those engaged in the liquor business" says MT. John F. Cunneen, prominent Catholic and la bor leader. 'In Maine the Catholics have a majority of the church mem bership, and you know how Maine stands on the liquor question. In Cambridge, Mass, the Catholic church membership equals Fl per cent of the total church membership, and for 2S years Cambridge has outlawed the sa- loon. While the Catholic may vote as he pleases upon the saloon ques- tion. the church gives him no argu- ment in favor of the saloon. On the contrary, all the arguments are against it. Rev. James D. Cassidy of Fall River, Mass, once said : You dare not pray for the saloon.' No Catholic who follows Father Cassidy's advice will vote for the saloon."

Especial Bonanza Correspondence

Especial Bonanza Correspondence
SYLVANITE, June IS. - Charley
Grant and Andy Petrovich, who are
associated with Geo. Banoyich, have
made discovery of mineral which
promises to put them on easy street
ii the values found at surface hold
out to any considerable depth.
They made two locations May lin
but kept the find quiet and about a
week ago began prospecting the
ground, which is situated about two
miles northwest of Sylvanite camp
and four miles due east of Rye Patch
pump station, from which point
good road suitable for autos or wag-
ons leads directly to the discovery.
Three holes about to feet In depth
have been sunk at different points
and ore samples sent into Tonopah re-
turned values of 1926. Nearly six
ounces of the values we're in gold and
the balance in silver
The vein as far as exposed is found
in an andesite and porphyry and the
vein material appears to be about 3
feet in width. In appearance the ore
is of blush, fine grained quartz,
heavily impregnated with iron sui
phide and does not yield readily to
ordinary panning The ore occurs in
punches and kidneys and II cannot
be stated positively at the present
time whether or not the ore is in
place. Some development will be re-
quired to ascertain that fact. Jack
Williamson, well known Tonopah
prospector, was the first to get in on
this latest discovery and secured two
claims paralleling the find of the pio-
neer prospector's. He is also interest
ed with Jack Humphrey and AL War
die in claim on the east extension
of the original strike and who have
three other claims close in. Hum
pnrey ana Al FreVert own TWO claims
on the west extension of Grant & Pc
trovich which were located June 4th.
AL Haag and w. H. Shepherd were
among the early ones and secured
some ground that carries the same
good looking float. Sylvanite and
Volcano are temporarily depopulated
today in order to get in while the get
ling is good so far as claims are con
eerned. This latest find goes far to
indicate that there is considerable of
mineral belt running north and west
of Volcano and Sylvanite that is wor.
thy of the attention of the miner and
prospector and the possibilities in the
way OF many new and prosperous
mining camps in old Nye county are
far from being exhausted.

No wonder the state officials are

look to see where they can retrench
here and there, if other counties in
the state are in the same condition as
as Elko county, says the Free Press.
When Governor Boyle came to town
treasurer's office and when he found
that there was $149,1 93.41 tied up in
the Elko bank by the protesting tax
payers he began to figure how some
of this money could be put into cir
culation
In 1918 enough owners protested
their taxes to amount to ST., 597 80;
on the first installment for 1914 the
protested taxes amounted to 81 $40
OF; and the second installment just
closed, the moneys paid in under pro
test totaled up to $59,97464, making a
Grand total of nearly $4,000. And
to make matters worse the laws of
the state are so obscure that the tax
collector does not know how long he
must keep this money and when or
how he is to pay it out or apportion
it. II may be possible that the mat.

of releasing it the funds will keep on
