Please tell me something about La bor day, the origin of it, etc.
 Labor day is. a day set apart as legal holiday in every state in the Union In 1882 the Knights of Labor held their original assembly in New York in the month of September, which on the 9th reviewed a great parade or ganized by the Central Labor union of that city. The next year the parade was held the first Monday in Septem- Der, and, in 1884, on the resolution of George R. Lloyd, one of the Knights of Labor, it was decided that all future parades should be held on that day, and that the day should be known as labor day. Workingmen's organiza- tions all oyer the country then began an agitation to induce the state legis- latures to declare the day legal holi- day, and on March 15, 1SS7,4 Colorado led the way, to be quickly followed by New Jersey, New York and Massachu- setts. The first Monday in September is now established as Labor day.

What was the so called ironciad eatsa that once prevailed in some parts of this country?
 It was not state or local regula- stion, as your question might imply, but a measure that grew out of the war of the rebellion. In 1862 congress passed a law that persons appointed to office from the seeded southern states should take an oath that they had in no way aided or abetted seces- sion, This came to be called the iron clad oath because a majority of per- sons iii the southern states could not take 1t, but many did who sympat thiG- ed with secession, though they had not actually aided or abetted it. After awhile the oath was modified and final ly repealed.
 Suppose we should get into with England or Germany, could we take private capital that they had invested in this country, such as railroads, brew cries, factories, mines or any other away from them and keep them forever?
 International law as now pfactieed does not permit the confscation of the private property of individual citizens of one belligerent country found in an other at the outbreak of war. An au- thority says: "Whenever a government grants permission to foreigners to ac- quire property within its territories or to bring and depositit there it tacitly promises protection and security. The property of foreigner placed in an- other country by permission of it's laws may justly be regarded as a deposit of which the society is a trustee. How can it be areconciIed with the idea of trust to take the property from it's owner, when he has personally given. Ra cause for the deprivation2''

 How did negroes come te be called contrabands during the civil War?
 It was curious application of a well established principle Under the laws of war a belligerent may hold as confFaband and may seize and con deInn anything calculated to aid the enemy and prolong the war. Early in the war, when General B. F. Butler was in command at Fortress Monroe, some fugitive slaves came into his lines, and as he needed 1aborers in field works he put them at work. When their former owner demanded to know what the general intended to do with his negroes the general replied, 'I shall defain them as eontraband of war; Butler held that slaves might be used against the United States gov ernment by its enemies and were therefore centfaband- of war. F'rona that time fugitive slaves were called e0htfabands.

new PLACER IS FOUND
IN MAYSv|lLE CANYON

In regard to a new placer district
of much promise called Placerville,
situated in Maysville canyon, 20
miles east of Battle Mountain, the
Battle Mountain Scout says:
placer gold has been known to
exist in the gravel of this gulch,
which drains the high-grade dis
tricts of Marysville and Kimberly,
but 1t was only quite recently that
intelligent and sustained efforts
were made to determine the value
of these deposits and institute the
necessary operations to extract their
gold content.
Much of this pioneer work was
performed by John Nelson, and John
West. and the latter's activities are
responsible for the advent into the
district Of a Los Angeles company,
beaded by J. T. Kilgore, ]. M. Wor-
ten and Otto Gottschmidt. These
gentlemen have bought into Mr..
Vests ground and shipped all re-
quired machinery from the coast to
prosecute their operations. This
material arrived in Battle Mountain
recently and has been hauled to the
claims, where work will be begun at
once.
The gulch is reported to have two
channels of pay dirt, one of which
carries fine gold, the other coarse,
both resting on bedrock at depths
varying from Is to 80 feet. Each
of these is said to return a fair COM
pensation by hand rocking and sluic-
ing, and no doubt such production
can be greatly augmented by sys-
tematic mining with suitable ma
chinery. A number of leases have
been taken lately on the gulch
claims. among which r the John
son & Blanchee and the Schwak-
hammer leases. Each of these has
struck the pay, and in the latter,
on Mrs. John Nelson's ground,
small nuggets running up to 10-cent
value are being found along with
finer gold.

SHIP ANTHONY
FROM LOvElOCK
CARLOAD OF FIFTY PER CENT
ORE SENT OUT FROM
THAT TOWN

Twenty-six tons of anthony ore
that will run so per cen and return
from 500 to $110 a ton was shipped
out of Lovelock this week. 1t came
from Antelope Springs and it is an
nounced that another a will be
sent out this mont. This is but
part of over $4,000 worth of the
same kind of ore that has gone out
from this country during the past
two months.
The property now being mined is
about 81 miles east of Lovelock in
the Humboldt range and has dis
closed one of the biggest bodies of
anthony found in northern Nevada.
1t is being operated by j.. H. Caus-
eth formerly one of the four less
ees on the property of the Roches-
ter Mines company, with Thomas
Thornberry and Web Harrigan.
Eight men are working in the ground
and while taking into consideration
the variable nature of the anthony
deposits, there is every likelihood
that this will develop into n of the
biggest showings in the country.
The ledge is pronounced a true fis-
sure, varying from a few inches to
three feet in width, and is being
worked by %tunneling, twenty feet
being the lowest depth achieved.
From the big chambers, known as
kidneys" they have taken out huge
chunks of solid anthony, speci-
mems of which are on exhibition in
this city.
The property was recently pur-
chased by Causten and associates
from John Grey, who is a relocator
of the ground after many years OF
idleness. 1t has been known as an
exceptional antimony deposit, but
like many other claims in this coun-
ty it has not been feasible as a work
ing proposition until the present
marked advance in the demand for
anthony ore.-Humboldt Star.

PREPARATIONS ARE ALREADY

THIS FALL

The local football fans are prom

il the plans of the coach and the
hopes of the student body material
iZe. There are several things TO
be surmounted before a real team
can be rounded into shape, chief
among these being parental objec-
tions, which should be easily over
come this year since the new rules
make the game almost as open as
basketball, and the natural laZiness
of the material available.
There are no veterans of the
teams of two and three years ago
but James of Portland, Ore, is a
man who has had much experience
and the coach will try to build a
team around him. Most of the
available material is in the fresh
man class but what they lack in
weight and experience they make up
for in pep. Under the new rules.
however, speed is the prime requi
site, not weight, so the local squad
should give a good account of them
selves against the best of the teams
of the state.
The first formal call for candi-
dates will be made the last of the
week and it is to be hoped that a
full squad will put in an appear
ance. The local ball field will be
cleared of weeds and put in shape
in the meantime. Games have been
solicited from Carson, Bishop and
Tonopah. With these schools apply
ing for games the local team is as
sured of plenty of exercise.

YUBA MILL AT PIOCHE
READY FOR OPERATION

Everything was in readiness to
give the Yuba mill at Phoebe its ini-
tial warming up Monday. The mill
has a daily capacity of about 100
tons, and will operate On leased

later on purchase and treat ores
from other mines of the district.
Relative to the project the Phoebe
Record says that like the mine, tine
Yuba mill is equipped with an 10G-
horsepower gasoline engine. At
both mine and mill a special gas
CINE fuel oil will be used, reducing
the cost of power much less than
coal and steam can be furnished at
this point.
A record has been made all along
the line in building this mill and
installing the new equipment at the
mine. On July 10, sixty days agO,
the first dirt was thrown out on the
mill excavations and now on Sept.
20, it is expected that sufficient ore

All the machinery has been tried
out and found to operate without q
hitch and the company is to be con-
graduated.
Mr.. Smith says that soon after
getting everything started in good
shape hat the Yuba company will
be in condition to purchase big and
small lots of both shipping and mill
ing ore, and this arrangement will
have the effect of materially assist
in the miners in marketing their
productions.
The investment by the Yuba
