DULL WHILE COAL ISSUES
ARE STRONGER

NEW YORK. June 24.---Toreign
affairs took precedence again in the
market and prices were governed, so
far as they manifested any definite
tendency, by the Russian defeat in
Galicia and tine further selling of
American securities in London.
While sales were not extensive they
were sufficiently large to effect a
decline in Canadian Pacific to 1A7A,
the lowest since 1908, when the
stock was on a Z per cen tasis, in
stead of the present 10 per cent.
Conditions abroad were further
complicated by renewed weakness
here and on the French and Ger
man exchanges. Paris checks were
quoted at a new record of $40, de-
spite the virtual consummation of
the new French loan by New York
bankers, while remittances to Ber-
Vim and Hamburg at 81 SIS dupli-
Gated their recent low record marks.
Sterling was fairly steady.
Readings strength and activity,
together with advances in other coal
shares, furnished one of the Few fea-
lures. Lackawana added another
Z points to Tuesdays gain, making
a total of Is within two days.
Baltimore & Ohio and St. Paul
rose moderately while Rock Island,
Western Maryland and Minneapolis
& st. Paul gained from 1 to 4 points.
Coppers were lower, reflecting the
stagnant state of the metal market.
The lowest prices were recorded in
the final hour.
Total sales, 100000 shares. Par
value aggregated $2,510,000. Quo

DANCE RECEIPTS TO

SWIMMING PLUNGE PROJECT TO

BIG BALLS

The dance Saturday night, which
will be the first of a series of three
given for the benefit of the Goldfield
public natatorium, under the auspices
of the dance committee of the Fourth
of July celebration, is not necessarily
a Yama-Yama. The committee
states that everyone, whether in
Yama-Yamas or paiamas, will be
welcome on the floor. Glad rags will
not be obligatory or de rigeur and
shirt waists will be CONNIE il faut.
The dance will start at 9 o'clock
and will take place in the Elks' hall.
to the strains of the best music OBJ
tainable in the camp. The funds de-
rived from each of these dances,
June 26, July 2 and 5, will be turned
over to tho finance committee of the

that several hundred dollars can be
added to the fund in this way, be-
sides affording all a world of fun

BOTTOMLESS PIT
FOUND BY MINERS
INTERESTING DISCOVERY IS
MADE IN NEW CAMP OF
VOLCANO

The muckers who followed min
ers on shift yesterday in the Nc
Carty-Mooney lease at Volcano had
an easy task, for when they went
down the hole after the shots we're
fired there wasn't any muck. Mother
Earth had swallowed it up in her
capacious NAV.
But what the leasers found they
had was what may prove to re the
deepest shaft in the district, state
or nation. In fact it was dug all
ready for them and there is moth
any desired level and cut stations.
The miners suspected something
lie this would happen, for one of the
drills went through yesterday and it
may be falling yet. The shaft is so
feet deep and is equipped with 100
feet of extra rope. Johnny Musser,
the d%iscoverer of the district, had
the honor of paying the first visit to
the cave that had been tapped. He at
tached the rope at the bottom of the
shaft and made a perilous descent to
the end of his string. He says that
T! rocks which he dislodged there went
rafting down and down until silence
again reigned. There came back no
thud to show hat they had touched
bottom. 1t was rather a creepy
sensation that crawled up and down
his spine as he hung there owe an
abyss that seemed unfathomable.
A long rope was taken out today
and an effort will be made to explore
the cavern. The air in the shaft is
pure, causing a candle to burn free
ly, but the flame flickers in a
breeze, showing that there are other
opening to the cave than the shaft
itself. The walls are beautifully
lined with calcite stalactites. The
width of the cavern as far as explor-
ed i several feet, while it's length
has not been determined, although
it extends as far as a candle throws
it's beam. A careful study If the
walls will be made to discover if
they contain any naturalization. This
cave runs %northerly and southerly,
while the trend of the ledge that was
followed down in the shaft IS east
erly and westerly. A slight crevace
between the andesite and the por-
phyry on the contact shows all the
wny down the shaft so that the
cave was not entirely Unexpected

KEEPING UP PRODUCTION
Continued from Page One.D

Continued from Page One.D
the south drift on the SSO-foot lev
ell has attained a height of So
feet in the vein. The roof is expos
ing six feet of $45 ore. The top of
the raise is on about the same lev
ell as the third or S47-foot level of
the mine. The south crosscut on
the 932-foot level, designed to catch
the orebody, is progressing IN good
shape. 1t is the intention to soon
start a raise from it to the vein and
then drift.
The old Original Velvet lease or
No. 2 shaft has been cleaned out,
enlarged from two to three-compart-
ment size and retimbered to the
1S0-foot point. The miners have
found at that depth a station plat
form and revealed the top of a drift
set of timbers. Soundings indicate
that the shaft below the platform
contains water. Should this be
found correct, the work of enlarg-
ing the shaft to the depth it was
sunk in the early days, supposedly
400 feet, will go forward very
rapidly. 1t is the intention Of the
management to continue the shaft
down to connect with the 1017~foot
and other levels of the Poleverda
CIR No. 1 shaft.

MINERS TO MEET
IN COAST CITY
PRESIDENT CARL SCHOI,Z OF
AMERICAN MINING CON
GRESS ISSUES CALI.

The eighteenth annual session uf
the American mining congress Is
called to meet at San Francisco in
the exposition memorial auditorium
Sept. 20, 81, %, 1915. President
Carl Scholz states in the official call
sent out that inasmuch as mining is
essentially a national business, the
convention will be composed of &C.
tive and associate members and duly
accredited delegates. He then re
quests the president of the United
States to appoint 10 delegates; the
chief executive of foreign nations, 10
delegates; governors of states and
territories, 10 delegates; mayors If
cities and towns, two delegates and
one additional each for each 100,-
600 population; boards of county SUI
pervisors, boards of trade. chambers
of commerce, mining bureaus and CO.
changes, mining organizations, scien-
tific societies, engineers associations
and state mining schools two dele
gates each.
The active members of the con-
gress will meet to elect six directors
on the evening of Sept. 81. They
will also elect directors &C succeed
D. w. Brunton, G.. H. Dern, +. Josl.n
and H. l.. Day, whose terms expire.
Among the matters that will come
before the convention are methods
OF western mining, gold mining and
its connection with the money syS-
tenn of the world, mining invest
ments, mine manufacturing, the pros
pector, the promoter and the engi.
ner.
The public lands question will also
come up for consideration, the ques-
ton being whether the federal gov
eminent should lease, coal. oil and
phosphate lands and water powers.
To illustrate the argument: the coal
reserves of Wyoming r estimated
at 424,OS5.0 OO,0 900 tons; if 90 peg
cent of this is available for pro1uo-
ton, a royalty of 2 cents per ton to
the federal government would
amount to $4,000 900 900; II 10 per
cent of the estimated coal were
placed on the market during ,hc
next 100 years. it would mcan, at
2 per cent royalty, 100000 900 or
$4,000, 600 annually, to be derives
by the federal government from Wye
ming, while Pennsylvania and the
other great coal producing states OF
the east would go entirely free from
paying similar tribute.
The conservation problem and it,
relation to power sites will also he
discussed. Other subjects Will be
revision of mineral land laws-co oper-
alton in the coal industry, coal ei
ports, arbitration, mediation II
Cancellation, workmen's %con.pensa-
ton, mine taxation, metallurgica! re-
search and mine safety stations.

SOLDIER PRIESTS OF
FRANCE ARE LAUDED

BOULOGNE, France, juno u
A tribute to the soldier priests Of
France is paid in a pamphlet just is
sued by the Countess de Courson.
The number of priests in the
French army exceeds 10000, Grawn
from many different orders, Carthu-
SLAMS, Jesuits, Dominicars, Sale
slams, Norbertines and Benedictines.
Men who hold high office in the
church are frequently privates in the
army and often their interiors in
the priesthood are their superiors
under military discipline. The
younger men serve in the first line,
the older men are employed as
stretcher bearers and hospital or
derlies. The actual military chap
lains are always men over 48 years
old and their work is entirely eccle-
siastica1. The moral influence OF
the soldier -priests at the front
among the men is immense and
Madame de Courson tells many anec-
dotes of their courage and splendid
fighting spirit. There are descrip-
tions of mass being celebrated by
these soldier-priests under the most
difficult circumstances.
