DEAD FROM so FOOT FALL
Winooski Man Badly Smashed Up by
Fall over Cliff.

Andrew Bond a Winooski black
smith, fell from the cliff near the Bur
lington FIGURING company's grist mill
south of the Winooski bridge on
Tuesday, sheer drop over a rock
cliff of between so and 70 feet-but
lived several hours in the hospital.
1t was necessary to go after the
man in a rowboat as the rock upon
which he struck was surrounded by
water and he was carried up through
the large pasture to the lower road
near the brick yard.
He was in a terribly mangled CON
dition, but recovered consciousness
as he was being taken from the ma
chine into the Mary Fletcher hospl-
tai.
Upon examination at the hospital
both arms and both legs were found
to be broken and there was a severe
fracture of the skull He was made
as comfortable as possible, but he
died at about $50 o'clock in the after
noon.
1t is probable that there were many
bones in other parts of his body
broken. The flesh through to the
bone was stripped off from one leg
and he complained of terrible pains
in his abdomen.

SPAIN ARMINe ITSELF
Purpose is Defensive; No intention
of Entering War

Purpose is Defensive; No Intention
of Entering War
The Spanish government recently
has been very active in the preparat-
ion of military and naval armament,
writes an Associated Press cores
pondent at Madrid. Manufactures
of artillery, small arms and project
lies are working night and day, and
the minister of war, DESTROYS himself
of learning their capacity, has, dur
ing the last several days, visited the
factories at Tabia, Oviedo, Granada
and Seville
Military and naval commissions
have left for the United States and
Italy for the purpose of acquiring
arms and ammunition, as well as the
machinery for their manufacture.
There is also talk OF the acquisition
by Spain of number of submarines
and of mines for coast defense pur-
poses. These activities, which are
being conducted with the greatest
secrecy, do not indicate purpose to
enter the present European conflict
on either side, it is asserted, but are
to prepare the nation for any event
which may follow the present war.
The idea seems TO be that Spain
should be able to defend her own ter
ritory and particularly the Balearic
and Canary islands, should Spanish
possessions enter into the calcula-
tions of the makers of the final terms
OF peace.
Besides this, the Spanish govern
ment pomnent Spaniards say, fully
realizes that it has been negligent in
military and naval matters, and in
view of the complete unexpectedness
of some of the events which have
characterized the present conflict, it
now finds it the part of wisdom to
be prepared against any surprise.
Suggestions that these preparations
on the part of Spain mad be indicat-
i've Of designs against Portugal or Glib
raltar are Indignantly denied at Mad
rid.

NEVADA CONSOLIDATED
HAS INCREASED WAGES

Official announcement has been
made by the local management of the
Nevada Consolidated Copper company
of an increase of wages amounting
to Is cents a day to take effect on
August 1. The increase takes in
all employees of the mines, mill and
smelter and involves an additional
expenditure of about 100000 n
month on the part of the company.
The advance is based on IT cent
copper Or better.
The increase indicates a willing
ness on the part of the company to
share with it's employees the pros
perity brought about by the present
hight price of copper and is in line
with the advances recently made
by the Big copper companies in Ari-
IONA and Montana.-Ely Record.

MORE PLACER GOLD COMES
FROM ROUND MOUNTAIN

Dave Llewellyn made another one
of his frequent visits to Tonopah last
Monday, bringing with him about
$1,000 worth of placer gold as the
result of the last clean up. There
has been no clean up of the bedrock
so far this year on his property, and
it is on the bedrock that the big
values are found.
Mr.. Llewellyn states that he will
make a much greater percentage of
profit this year than he has in the
past. owing to the fact that he is
operating with a small force and OF
a very economical basis. Six men
handle the giants-two on each shift
and he has but ten men working
all together.-Tonopah Miner.

IiALENA HILLS NINE
PRODUCING FINE ORE

A property that is giving promise
of becoming a paying producer is the
Golden Hills mine in Crow Springs
district, now owned by DR.. Masterson
and c.. X. Jarvis. It is located about
"a miles northwest of Tonopah and
nine miles from Crow Springs.
The property vas owned some
years ago by Jarvis and Jim Forman
and they did considerable work on a
vein that was two feet in width on
the surface, and which retains the
same width at bottom of an S0-foot
shaft which they sunk. The ore av-
eraged from $40 to $25 pc rton and
eraged fro $40 to $25 Ter ton and
this would not stand shipment to
the smelter. Mr.. Forman has given
his attention of late to real estate
and the marketing of subdivisions
which caused his interest in mining
to wane. AS a consequence the title
to the ground reverted to the gov
eminent, due to a neglect to perform
the annual assessment work.-Tono-
pah Miner.

POTSDAM OBSERVATORY
CONTINUES ITS WORK

Correspondence of Associated Press.D
BERLIN, July 10. - Notwith-
standing the pr%eoccupation of war,
the staff of the Potsdam observatory
has been able to issue it's annual re-
port on the astronomical phenome-
non known as the variation of lati-
tude. This was first discovered in
1885 by the director of the Berlin
observatory, who could only account
for certain ~discordant measurements
Of star places by assuming that the
latitude of Berlin had changed.
Since then it has been shown that
the axis of the earth is not immov-
able, but has a kind of wobbly mo-
ton in a rough circle, which causes
the latitude of every place on the
surface alternately to increase and
decrease. The past years observa-
lions were made in Russia, Japan,
Italy and other countries and for
warded to Potsdam for comparison
and collation.. The study of all the
deta thus gathered enabled the
Potsdam scientists to announce that
the north pole is at present moving
outward, the radius of the circle it
is describing being about twenty
feet.

According to Andy Shellberg, who
arrived from willard yesterday, that
camp from present proof will rival
in greatness the gold record of some
of the older mining camps of Nevada.
He was full to the brim with in
formation of the fine showings estab-
lished in Willard in the past few
months. He said:

John Y. McKane, floated the Tonopah

Immediately inauguarte a campaign
of development with big capital be-
hind him to make the mine which
sticks out all over the group. Three
sets of leasers are in ore on this
property.
Another deal that is being con-
summated with the Haywood crowd
of California is the taking over of the
lease held by Mayer, Healey and
Borland on the Enterprise claim, now
in picture rock, and a group of
eight claims adjoining owned by
Mayer, Healey and Borland.
"On our May Day Fraction we are
getting splendid values. The ore is
of milling grade.
with the high grade cobbed, the
S~heepherder is shipping $45 ore in
carload lots.
ION the Shea-Putnam group the
leasers have six feet of $40 per ton
rock. On the Ruth claim, owned
by White and Callahan is a rich high
grade streak in addition to a substan-
tial body of mill ore; Jimmie Moss
on the Monarch is proving a dyke 20
feet wide which samples and pans

as the Sheepherder, the boys are

ing the work which proves the
quality of that area. He is piling
mill ore on the dump taken from the
vein which trends through the Big

ALASKA'S MINERALS

Alaska produced gold in 1914 to
the value of SIS, 764,259. an increase
of about $4,000 over that of the
e~revious year. In 1914, ~21,450,62S
pounds of copper were produced in
Alaska, compared with 2~1,629.95S
pounds in 1918. The value of Alas
ka's total mineral production for
1914 is $19,11S,080; that of 1913
was $19,476,356. This decrease is
due to the low price of copper in
1918. 1t is estimated that up to the
close of 1914 Alaska has produced
minerals to a total value of $685.
10000, of which $244.156.000 rep
rosents the value of the gold output.
These statistics r taken from a re-
port by Alfred H. Brooks of the Unit
ed States geological survey. which is
nov in press.

OPERATIONS RESUMED
ON TUNGSTEN PROPERTY

f. f. Carpenter and I. f. Rood
house of Wonder, New, arrived IN
Ely during the week and engaging a
force of about 25 men left for the
United States Tungsten company
property near Osceola, where work
will be resumed Immediately, says
the Ely Record.
Mr.. Carpenter is the consulting
engineer of the property, while Mr..
Roodhouse will act as superintend-
ent and Fred McDaniels as clerk. 1t
Is the intent of the management to
have the mill in operation just as
soon as possible. The property has
been idle for the past year or moro
but recently tungstic acid has more
than doubled in value and is no
doubt due for a still greater advance,
hence the anxiety of the owners of
the property to put in the list of pay
ers as soon as possible.

D|SSENS|ON CREEPS
INTO GERMAN PARTY

BERLIN, July 1S.-Indications
continue to multiply that the issues
raised by the war have brought a
good deal of d~issension into the
ranks of the social democratic par
ty. Not only have adherents OF the
already existing wings of the party
changed their allegiance In numer-
Gus cases but new groupings have
formed themselves within the party.
The leading group is still the block
of August A., including the majority
of the reichstag faction. Of the gov
erning committee Of the party. of
the party committee and of the
press.
The majority of the party does
not deny the imperialistic charac-
ter of the war; 1t desires to do every
thing to make an early peace POS
sible, but 1t gees as the only way to
this end the existence Of a similar
feeling in the hostile countries and
the seeking of imperialistic tenden-
cies not only in Germany. but also
to some degree elsewhere. The ma
jority will also oppose plans of con-
uuest and considers impossible any
peace which is desired solely by Ger
many and not by the other countries
Other factions are termed the IAN.
nexionists." and while they do not
admit it, but let 1t be seen that IN
their opinion, the boundaries OF to-
day are not established for all eter'
nifty. that such a convulsion as this
world war cannot pass over without
certain corrections being made and
that the time will come when one
must be reconciled to these correc'
lions.
Another faction described as the
"irreconcilables," reproaches the
party with having abandoned Its
principles and committed treason
against its whole past.
