BULLION SHIPMENTS FROM
THREE COMSTOCK NINE,

The Ophir Mining company has 20
ceived a check for $632 for a bar of
bullion recently shipped. Another
bar will shortly go forward with a
shipment of concentrates in addi-
ton.
A bullion shipment valued at $14.-
200 left Virginia City last night rep-
resenting a run on Union ore.
Preparations to start the Mexican
mill to its full capacity OF ore from
Union and Sierra Nevada are nearly
completed. Plenty of zinc dust and
cyanide have been contracted for
and a long. steady run is confident
ly expected.
The Sierra Nevada has just re-
ceived a check for %$1377.14, the
proceeds of a test run of 100 tons
of low grade ore, the mill returning
80 per cen of the assay value, less
milling charge.
1t has been decided to open the
Union shaft below the 1000 level at
once so as to make a more direct
connection with the Orebodies now
exposed in the Union and Sierra Ne
vada mines and for the improvement
in ventilation as well. Work in this
direction has already been COM
menced under the supervision of
Superintendent Symmes. Bulletin.

vienna FEELING
EFFECTS OF WAR
HIGH PRICES PREVAIL AND
POVERTY CAUSES MUCH MIS-
ERY IN CITY

ZURICH, Switzerland, Nov. 90
After IA months Vienna is Begin
ming to realize the effects of the war
which hitherto have left little out
ward mark on the life of the Aus
trian capital. But in the past few
weeks prices of food have advanced
by leaps and bounds. Coal is pc
coming scarcer and dearer, just as
winter is approaching. Clothing has
doubled in price. And altogether the
immediate outlook for the masses Of
the population is dismal.
Much of the trouble is due to the
army having taken the strong and
able bodied laboring men from the
city. Hardly any teamsters are left,
and great quantities of flour and
provisions and Goa are lying in the
railway warehouses and yards, caus-
ing a serious congestion. Switch
tracks are being laid to the mills and
railway yards, at a cost of 100000
to bring the goods to the store keep
ers of the city.
Another cause of the high prices
of food is the manipulation of spec
ulators, who are hiding large stores
of provisions and SO creating an arti-
fetal shortage in the market.
Convinced that huge stocks of
food stuffs were somewhere in ex-
istence in the city, the Vienna po-
lice have made a thorough search
Of all the storage warehouses result
ing in some surprising discoveries.
steps are being taken to find out
the owners who will be vigorously
prosecuted for conspiring to raise
the price of food.
Although the new flour is now in
the market the supply in the retail
bakeries is very limited. In the poor
suburbs people gather around the
stores as early as 3 o'clock in the
morning, and by 6 the crowd will
number anywhere from 500 to 1000
persons, mostly women and children.
The bakeries open at Z and the sign
Of sold out" is generally put ur
before s o'clock.
Since the military authorities re-
Questioned all the stocks of rubber
tires in the county and even took
those actually in use on the cars of
private owners, automobiles have
almost disappeared from the streets
Of Vienna. There are no more mo
tor cabs; the few cars still seen are
either occupied by army officers or
have some connection with the
war.
And there seems to be no end to
the demands and appeals for money
for various charitable and military
objects. The Vienna Neue Freie
Presse has started since the val be-
gan, collections for more than 100
different funds and has succeeded
in raising over $1,000, 900. The
largest individual benefaction is the
Red Cross for which $4,000 has
been collected. Next ome the
fund for blind soldiers, which re-
ceived $4,000. The other objects
for which the paper has made col
lectiOns inclue one for furnishing
artificial limbs for wounded SOL
diers; for the families of reservists
called to the front, and for the Aus
trian submarines. Altogether there
are not less than 1856 different funds
for some Of which less han $40 has
been subscribed.

COMMUNITY COOPERATION

It Is safe to say that very small per cent of consumers are capable of accurately iud- ing, by personal inspection tae quality and value of the many articles they buy and use.
 Inferior materials and work manship may be effeetually concealed beneath veneers.-a deception that can hardly be detected until the goods have been purchased, paid for and put to use for which they are intended. In many cases-for example, in canned goods and other preserved edibles-con- sumers are frequently deceived or misled.
 How many buyers of shoes are competent to judge for themselves the quality and ac- tual value of shoe? Paper, composition and other inferior materials may easily be sub stituted for leather and an- wary purchasers be none the wiser until too late for the in- formation gained to be of pos sible benefit to them.
 This line of reasoning ap- plies to clothes, hats, furniture, stoves, carpets, rugs, pianos, talking machines. watches, iewelry, breakfast foods, tools practically all of the almost countless articles in common use.
 Manufacturers who have spent much time and large sums of money to establish faV- orable regulations for produst :; bearing their namees or trade mark positively can not afford to misrepresent their goods to the public, or allow their lines to fall below the standards they have established for them. Goods upon which they place their names must come up to the claims they make for them and must render purchasers continuous uniform service at reasonable cost. Otherwise the demand for them will cease, thus destroying their greatest asset.
