| When the Russians retreated they
did it so suddenly that these cannon

reason the advancing Germans cap

officers receive word to retreat and
instead OF taking their armies with
them, they loaded their valuables and
their mistresses in their autos ana
hurry away.

of Battery ~, when the officers fled,

do it.

STRIKE Of GREAT MAGNITUDE
REPORTED IN SIERRA NEVADA

All Virginia City and the old Com
stockers in Carson are excited over
the big find of high grade ore report
ed to have been made in the Sierra
Nevada property. The ore was en-
countered a few days ago on the
2,5OO-foot yevel of the property and
crosscut being run through the ore
body is now in forty feet and the
footwall has not been reached as yet.
The ore is white quartz, eavily
sprinkled with yellow pyrites of iron
and sulpherets; and any of the "hot
water plugs" will readily recognize it
as the ore typical of the old Com
stock days. 1t is said there is streak
from three to five feet wide in the
ore body that will run $500 to the
ron and better, the balance averag-
ing about $50 per ton.

ty-one children, aged from s to II,
are known to be dead from fire,
following an explosion in the base
ment, that occurred in ST. Johns
parochia1 school this morning. Six
hundred and seventy-two pupils were
preparing TO go to their classes when
one OF the sisters smelled smoke and
on investigating found the lower hall
ablaze At first there. was perfect
order in the class rooms, but panic
followed when the smoke broke into
and filled the numerous Railways.
The teachers were unable TO check
the panic and the children broke
from their ranks. The casualties may
reach fifty. Twenty are seriously in
jl,red and nine were burned unrecog-
nizaDly The flalnes spread rapidly
The children on the top floors met
the billows of smoke as they attempt
ed to escape by the stairway and as
they reached the lower halls many
were trampled TO death and some
we're overcome by smoke. There
we're no fire escapes in the building

A spirit of revival of the old days
is already apparent in Virginia About
thirty-five men have been put to
work in the past few days and more
will be added as development pro-
ceeds in this property and the Union.
The strike is in virgin and unex-
plored territory and for that reason
it is thought that new era of pros
perious mining days may be in store
for the greatest o1d-time mining camp
the world has ever produced.
The stock of the Sierra Nevada
has advanced from 5 cents share a
few weeks ago to 90 cents.
1t is to be hoped that another big
bonanza has been added to the fa-
nous camp as Carson City will be
among the first of the adjacent towns
to feel the effect.

Business Conditions.
II have been talking with business
men recently about the present state
OF mind Of American business. There
is nothing the matter with American
business except, state OF mind.
Commenting upon the motto of the
Indianapolis chamber of commerce,
IF You Are Going to Buy it, Buy it
Now" the president said it is just as
safe to buy now as 1t ever will be and
that IL the buying Is started there will
be no end to it. The president said
he was sure OF that because he had
taken counsel with the men who know
and that all that is needed in America
now is to believe In that future He
said that he could assure his hearers
as ono or those who spoke for the
Democratic party that 1t is perfectly
safe to believe in the future.
I'VE are 80 much the friends Of busi-
ness that we we're for little time the
enemies Of those who were trying to
control business. I say for q little
time because we are now reconciled
to them. They have graciousIy admit
ted that we had a right to do what we
die do, aEd they have Tcry handsomely
said that they were going TO play the
game.
II believe, I always believed, that
American business men were absolute
ly sound at heart. but men immersed
In business do a, lot of things that op-
portunity offers to do which in other
c!.cnn.stances they would not do; and
have thought all along that all that
was necessary to do was to call their
attention SHARPLY to the kind of re-
forms In business which were neces-
sary and that they would acquiesce.
and believe they have heartily ac-
quicsced. There is all the more rea-
son therefore, that greet and small,
we should be confident in the future.
And what future 1t is my friends!
