steamer oscar II, which has on board
Henry Ford and his peace advocates,

The government views the enterprise

with the greatest advantage by keep

the experiments now in progress TO
determine how big guns can be

points Of danger. They also embrace
experimental work with new types Of

An indication Of the preparations

London, Dec. "a u.45 p. M Sir
George Paish. one of the best known
English authorities in financial mat
tcrs. made the following statement TO
the Associated Press today in regard
20 the governments plan Tor mobil-
ization of American securities
THE plan is to enable the British
people to purchase and pay for the
great quantities OF American goods
they will need i'm the next twelve
months, Further, it is for the pur-
pose Of providing the allies of Great
Britain the sums they need to pay for
goods purchased in the United States.
How Payments Are Met.
In the past year goods bought
from America have been paid for
largely in gold and sull more largely
in securities. as well as by the credit
Of 100000, 900 which American
bankers and investors so generously
provided France and Great Britain
a short time ago.
"The amount OF gold in the United
states now is so colossal that the im-
portation Of additional amounts may
lead to wild speculation and 1t is un-
desirable in every ones interest that
a still greater amount of gold should
accumulate in the United states and
desirable that payment should be
made for the vast quantity of goods
which the allies are purchasing in
securities OF one kind or another, on
by meahs OF additional credits similar
10 the one recently granted.
Big Burden on England
81 should have mentioned that
some Of the goods bought this year
have been paid for by ordinary bank
ing credits, but this method Of pay
ment provided a very small sum OF
money in comparison with the
amounts provided by gold exports
ana sales of securities.
"Praetically speaking, Great Brit
ain has to provide all the money need
ed to settle the American favorable
trade balance. For 1915, the excess
of exports viii probably reach 81
750. 100000 and. after allowing for
payment of interest treights, etc, the
balance in favor of the states Will
probably reach about $1,35O,00o,000
of which about S400.000.0 900 will be
settled in gold. Si6O,OOO,OOo by the
recent Franco-Brhsh loan and the
balance Of about $5O,OoO00O by sales
of securities
1916 Balance Much Bigger.
"In 1916, the balance in favor of
the states, in view Of the great guam
titles Of goods already ordered may
not be far short Of $2,50Q,000,O0 600.
and after allowing for interest ana
other payments, the net balance ~
favor of the states may be- in the
neighborhood of $2.000,000,0o0.
"The United states, by reason of
its vast exports. viii enjoy "a greater
income than it ever had hitherto, and
out of this great income will have
great sums for Investment both IN

from Europe and various new issues

vein CUT
IN JESSUP MINE
ROCK SHOWING FREE GOLD Is
FOUND IN THE MERGER
PROPERTY

The Merger gold property at Jes-
sup has uncovered one of the feed
er veins to its main vein on the 15O-
foot level this week which runs very
high in free gold, says the Love
lock Miner.
Some time ago a small stringer
was cut in this drift, but as it. seem
ed to end in a few feet the worF
was pushed forward without inves-
tigating further. Recently it {
determined to see if this stringer
did not continue at a different angle
and the result proved the correct
ness of the theory. The new vein
crosses over a few inches above the
roof of the drift from the left side
to tire main vein on the right, ana
above the junction point the main
vein has greater width.
The samples brought in yesterday
show abundance of free gold and
though no assays have been taken
the ore pans freely. In fact when
the best specimens are PANIED the
values run to very large figures.

there was no weather at all. The

BUCKSKIN DISTRICT AGAIN COMING

The we'll known Buckskin mining
district, located partly in Lyon and
partly in Douglas county. is showing
pronounced signs of coming into its

sions of altered granite, contains
many gold and copper lodges rang

These veins contain ore that near
the surface assay from $40 to $2a
in gold and silver. During the past
few months several strikes have been
made that are indicating the pres
ence of high grade gold-bearing ore.
Many samples have been taken that
assay from $50 to 5000 in gold. A
number of veins have been opened
disclosing lead carbonates which a.
the surface contain as high as IS per
cent lead and 10 ounces to the ton
in silver. Lack of capital available
and. the depression hat has pre-
vailed in mining for the past sew

A few days ago F. B. Mechling, the
California-Nevada Power COM
pany's man, was looking over the
camp with a view of it's ultimate
consumption on electric power.
Recently II. X. Skinner, one of
the pioneer operators of the camp
made a shipment from his property,

the smelter I,turns were as follows

the property are very flattering. Mr.
Skinner also wi the old Foster
property and arrangements are now
being made to carry on development
this winter. A LEDGE II inches in
width has been opened which carries
values of $44 in lead and silver and
an ounce and a half in gold. Several
other properties are being operated
in that section. With cheap power
and methods of economical treat
ment of the large bodies of good
grade ore the camp would soon be
among the prominent ones of the
state. The district possesses valuable
deposits OF gold, silver, lead and
copper INT is worthy of invetigation
by mining engineers and investors.
