that they were badly damaged and
will have to be duplicated. General
Superintendent Harry B. Clapp es-
Inmates that deliveries will be made
and the new frame completed within
the time named.
The operations in the mine during
July yielded 430 tons of ore, aver

which was marketed through the
Western Ore Purchasing company.
The shipments were extracted from
slopes A, B, and c on the

The recent dismissal by the feder-
al court in Seattle, Wash, in accord
ance with stipulations by counsel of
Carl NJ. Johanson as receiver of the
Goldfeld Merger Mines company
brought to an end the internal dis

of the possibility of the inauguration

of proceedings against the Jumbo

City official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. 17, 1915.

The tremendous opposition developing against the Franco British loan comes not as surprise as such an eyentuality was greatly to be expected. Not only from the hyphenated citizenry of the country but also from the strongest dyed in the wool Americans, many ol whom feel that in this manner lead ing strength to the thews of wal charge of aiding and abetting in the greatest crime of the centuries. Since he beginning of the war the United states has been al Ill times one o1 the most important factors 1T the strug- gle through being the primary source of supply for the entente allies. Since a,most the first day of the struggle the anti-Teuton alliance has depended on the United States for the bulk of every
 thing which enabled them to continue their struggle against the superior strength and equipment of the enemy This were all very well if the aid thus provided were confined to the necessi- ties of life--to the providing of foo6 and clothing and the numerous harm. less commodities necessary to sustain a people in health and comfort. To feet and clothe those who are in need o1 such attention is a solemn and holy duty and they who give themselves tc such action are worthy of the highest encomium. The trouble has been, how ever. tha. this aid has extended to the supplying of the tools of war, the i'm plements of death and destruction without which the ghastly human hola- caust could not continue for more thar a brief period. Although theoretically preserving a most innocent and harm less neutrality, the United States has been not only directly contributing to a most shameless horror but has also been the principal factor in it's perpe- tuation It is universally admitted that were it not for the war supplies in the
 shape of arms and ammunition furnish ed by this country the gory strife
 would long ago have ceased. Assum-
 ing this view as correct, the United
 States is as much responsible for the
 present existence of the war as any o.
 the nations engaged. Not for the
The Nome daily nugget., 1915-09-17

causes to be sure. but for the effects; the uncounted host of dead and wound ed, the terrific destruction, the wan and woe, the tears and sororws that have followed since the day the nations could no longer maintain their power through their own resources and ef forts. This war is the most terrible that has yet disgracsd the history O. humanity. It is war unjustified bs principle and contains not one iots of anything in the way of excuse thai can be called commendable.
 It is also the most awful of all con fiicts in that it is war of sxtermina- tion No cruelty is too cruel to prac tice, no horror too awful to infiict so that the enemy might be injured. AnS and every resource. regardless of its nature or consequence has been em- ployed wherever possible and no virtue that has not been outraged in the mad ness and fury of the struggling millions And Tn all of this the United States has had a share and is as blood guilty, il fact If not in theory, as any of the wal crazed nations. Yet, despite the ghast- ly awfulness of it all. the most of Il: are content to ease our minds with tht reflection that business is business; to solace ourselves with the belief that what Is going on is none of our con cern, in as much as We had no hand in bringing 1t about. This does no relieve us of the moral responsibility however It Is our shot our shells tha J of Europe today and in many instances
 it is our guns that are firing them Strive as we may to absolve ourselve
 of responsibility the fact that We ar
 the primary agent in the continuanc of the war canot be denied. When thes facts are considered in an open light ou
 responsibility is painfully clear. T
 those to whom humane feeling is no 
 all absent quality the idea of such al
 lawful responsibility is repulsive, and on
 cannot wonder that the Austrian am
 German element in the United State
 are not alone in their opposition to tn proposed billion dollar loan. As re marked, Business is business" bu i still one cannot but wonder at tn
 general disregard of the awfulness o
 the transaction. Not content wit
 merely supplying the active means wit
 which the work of destruction is ac complished, we are now preparing t lend still further aid in the shape O money to carry the work of carnage t still greater lengths. This IS business with vengeance.
