BuCkhorn Working Steadily

Austin Reveille: Three hundred
and fiftytons of ore r mil1ed daily at
the Buckhorn mine in Eureka County
and the mineral contents is reduced
to bullion on the spot. The camp
employs on an average of 120 men
and the outlook is good for a long
period of operations. W. A. McCrea,
who visited Austin this week, says
that while there are permanent mine
operations in sight that he does not
believe Buckhorn will develop into
much of a town. The mine alone is
not sufficient to warrant a popula-
ton beyond those required for work
in the mine and plant.

Several weeks ago the SENTINEL

UNION MINES TO SHIP
Eureka County Property to Begin Ship
ping Operations On April Is

PAA8 OPSHaSohe On TPHA 40
Salt Lake Tribune: Shipments are
to start from the Union Mines Com
pany's property located in Eureka
County, Nevada, IS miles south of
Palisade, about April Is, according
to Senator L. R. Thatcher from Eu-
reka County, who left Salt Lake yes
terday after having purchased a car
load of general mining equipment
for the property, of which he is geil-
eral manager.
In the neighborhood of 5000 tons
of ore has been broken and stored
since the outbreak of the European
war. 1t will net the company be-
tween SIS and $27 to the ton. Some
years ago the property, which o n
sists of IL mining claims located
three claims wide and four deep
along the contact between the por-
phyry and the limestone, produced
more than 500, 900 worth of ore.
The mine has been opened up by
tunnels and the ore body developed
along its strike for a distance of 200
feet and to a depth of 290 feet. 1t
will average six feet in width, is a
carbonate ore. and is so soft that it
may be mined by picking it down at
a cost not to exceed Is cents per ton.
A complete sample taken recently on
the two upper levels returned a net
value of $15.29 to the ton, while on
the 26O-foot level, due to the higher
grade, a composite sample gave a net
return of $27.69 to the ton. The
5000 tons now awaiting shipment
were taken out during the develop
ment work. No effort was made by
the management to increase the ton
mage, due to the low prices of the
metals.
Senator Thatcher said, however.
that with lead and silver at their
present prices, and with every indi-
cation that higher prices will rule in
the near future, it was the purpose
of the company to increase the work
ing force as rapidly as possible. With
this in view an extensive plan of de-
velopment work has been outlined
and will be started Immediately.
Senator Thatcher takes an optimis-
tic view of the present outlook for
the mining industry, not only in Ne
vada, but throughout the western
country. On his recent trip to New
York City, he said he found that
there was any amount of available
capital, the owners of which were
willing to invest in reputable mining
ventures. He looks forward to one
of the greatest mining revivals that
the country has ever experienced and
says that this seems to be the con-
sensus of opinion among the well-in-
formed brokerage houses through
out the East.

STATE BANKS PROTEST
 REVENUE DEPT. REQUEST
Will Not File Returns on Their In-
 comes.

Members of the Connecticut Bank CTS association have resolved to re- fuse to file the amended returns of income of their banks for the past five years, asked for by the internal revenue department at Washington. The department contends that the banks are not entitled to deduct the state tax from their income, on the ground that the tax is a tax upon stockholders and not upon the cor poration. Resolutions to refuse to amend their returns were adopted at a meeting of the association at the Hartford club, Thursday afternoon, presided over by President N. D. Prince of Danielson.
 The banks are contesting the action of the department on a question of principle and will probably have to pay the additional tax under protest, as the collectors of the department will doubtless make the amended re- turns themselves, and the banks are expected to sue for refund in the courts. In other states the government has won it's case in the courts, but the Connecticut bankers say the cor poration tax law of this state is diff ferent in that 1t gives the banks no resource to their stockholders for the payment of the state tax. but places the burden upon the banks.
 Insurance companies have also been deducting the state tax from income, thus reducing their federal tax. and probably they will soon be tasked to amend their returns. Trust companies have also been asked to make amend ed returns.

 Than in Peace Times.

 The Missionary society started the campaign for the fund so that it's an- nual budget of sS1,700.000 might be met this year without a deficit, and the committee in charge of the work has expressed qualification over the pro- gress that has been made.
 The policy has been to ask each Episcopalian in America to contribute lone days wage or income" in addf- ton to his usual contribution for mis- sions, and the response to this appeal in general has been generous. Of the money raised the Diocese of New York to date has contributed more than S16,00o.
 In connection with the raising of money in this country for missions it has been discovered that In spite of contributed more heavily to missions this year than ever before. The Church of England has exceeded all records of the last 200 years, and in Germany five of the seven missionary societies have exceeded their contributions of last year.

 Arnold. ,,-.

At the mems meeting Sunday after noon at the Young Mems Christian association after several enjoyable se- lections by the orchestra and the sing ing of familiar hymns, Rev. Henry T. Arnold delivered a very helpful ad- dress on the subject Christian Ser vice. The speaker divided the topic into three parts. first, the value of Christian service; second, the Mas ter we serve and third how we serve Him.
 MT. Austin emphasized the thought that Jesus came to serve the race and that service was the exact oppo- site of selfishness and that all real ser vice was Christian service: that Jesus in the autumn before He was taken from us emphasized the thoughts that the truly great man was he who served, and in the following spring he spoke of it. and also the night of the last supper.
 Then the greatness of the Master We serve; others have been great in certain realms, but Christ was great in the spiritual realm. and He is worthy of our loyalty.
 How shall I serve Him? I can do this best by initiating Him, and as I continue to initiate and follow Him will really serve my brother men and one day received His Well done" General Secretary Edwin Hill had charge of the service and offered prayer,

URGING MULLIGAN
 TO ACCEPT REELECTION.
Knights of Columbus Recognizing
 State Deputy's CreditabIe Work.

The Knights of Columbus through out Connecticut will show a large in- crease in membership when the state convention convenes at Hartford on May 11th. This year the increase has not been confined to the large cities, as in the past, and this is credited to the unfaltering efforts of State Depu- ty William J. Mulligan, who has &C., cepted every opportunity to visit prac- tically every council in the state.
 During April not less than 800 members will receive the third degree in New Haven, Hartford, Waterbury, Bridgeport, New London, Norwich, Meriden and Torrington.
 Many matters of importance will come up at the state convention, and the state officers are busy preparing their reports.
 Numerous people throughout the state are urging MT. Mulligan to ac- cept a reelection, believing that such action would be the means of having Connecticut represented on the su- preme board of directors at the next annual meeting.
