COMMENTS UPON FUTURE
Continued from Page Onel

one of the greatest mines of the dis
trict. again inspected the Allan
la a few days ago and found a great
Improvement in conditions over
those that prevailed at the time OF
my first visit. I found five feet OF
good ore in the prospect raise start
ed above the north drift from the
branch west crosscut on the 1880
foot level. The drift itself, which
has been turned westward and is
now being advanced in the shale,
has a full breast of ore. 1t is APP
parent that it is nearing the latte
shale contact, and l look for early
developments of far = reaching i'm
pOrtance.
my observations during a visit
of inspection to the properties of
the Goldfield Consolidated a few days
ago certainly astOnished me. l spent
five hours underground, walking all
the time, and then only saw a part
of the workings. And, by way of
comment, I wish to say that l think
the holdings of the company consti'
ute the most perfectly managed and
Systematically developed mine I have
visited in my entire mining expert
ence. During my tour of the prop
critics l was passing most of the
time through mammoth ore bodies.
I was really astounded by the great
number of new ore bodies that have
been opened up. l believe there is
more ore in sight at present in the
properties than when I previously
visited the properties three years
ago.
"The properties of the company,
as a whole, are in splendid condition.
The idea l wish to convey is that the
company does o have to scratch
for ore; there is plenty of it in
sight. I saw several faces Of high
grade ore. The Mohawk seems to
have almost as much ore in sight at
present as when I entered upon my
duties as manager of the Hayes
Monnette lease in the early days"

From Sunny California

About two weeks ago a young married woman of California killed
herself by taking poison. She had lived at Stockton, her husband was a
railroad engineer and she had most of the comforts of life. But she was
foolish. Along came the Rev" r. A. NJ. Brown, so-caled mission
airy and prohibition worker, but in reality a whited sepuchre. He select
ed the young woman as a victim and took her away with him, ostensiby
to assist him in his work, leaving a deserted home in the wake. Later
firing OF his toy the Rev Brown left her. According to her lights
death was the only way. At the coroners inquest Brown, while adj
hitting his illicit relations with the young Stockton woman, attempted to
Justify his actions by declaring that he had given her the love she
had yearned for.
The Rev. Brown has a following in California and i is made up
largely of degenerate women-not women of the streets, but women
who are sentimentany degenerate the kind of women who ought to be
spanked every morning at sunrise This phase of the Brown case has
aroused the editor of the Elko Independent, and the Tribune herewith
quotes what he has to say about it:
Certain women of California re becoming historical over the Rev.
X a. M. Brown who seduced a young married woman and then left her
to die by her own hand. They talk of the awakening of a stronger and
purer love, a love higher than the conventions of society, a love SO great
all things earthly were set at naught, where the laws of man and the
command of God were Justly set aside in fulfi1ment of heaven-born
happiness.
In the name of Balaam's ass what ais these women? Are cunning,
designing hounds who prey upon innocence to be set upon pedefas and
worshipped? Are whie-ivered vampires with oily words who wreck
they cast upon the sands of shame? Is love, the purest and hottest of all
things earthly, to be defled and polluted by confounding it with besfal
lust and passion?
'The crime of Rev. r. A. NJ. Brown is one of the same as that of
The buck niger recently burned at the stake in Alabama. They both set
out to crafty a deviish lust. They both accomplished their ends. The
only difference was i'll the manner of procedure. and it il hard to tell
which reflects the greater dev1ishness. One employed the power of
brute strength, and the other employed the cunning devices of a trained
mind, a slower but surera and deadler method. Both victims were de-
serted, one to suffer physical death, the other to suffer the keen torture
of betrayal, desertion, and death mental and physical.
Let no sentiment be wasted on this man Brown. He is nc
better or worse than the buck niger of rnbrdled passion, and to atrib
ute his cowardly action to high and holy love is like casting pearls be
fore swine"

PLEASING RESULTS
BEING OBTAINED
MANAGER MANNING OF ORC
COMPANY TELLS OF
CONDITIONS

Highly encouraging results con-
tinue to attend the operations of the
Goldfield Orc Mining company. Man.
ager Thomas F. Manning is much
pleased with the conditions prevail
ing and is confident that results of
far-reaching Importance will be &C
complished in the near future.
On the 7O0-foot level prosecuting
to the west continues, the face re-
vealing highly interesting conditions.
The same IA be said of the face of
the south drift on the same level, as
encouraging values are being OBJ
tanned.
On the SOO-foOt level a drift south
has been started from the top of a
twenty-foot raise above the east
crQsscut off the main north drift,
where promising values are also be-
ing revealed. The drift south on
the S00-foOt level is being repaired
and retimbered. AS a whole, the
property has a more promising flu
ture at present than for several
years past.

Health In American Army

The report of the surgeon general of the army for 1914 is a docr-
ment of unusual interest. The outline of the report in the letter of
calendar year covered by the report, is 1897 a thousand, the lowest rate
ever recorded for III army. This rate indicates the average number OF
men in every thousand incapachaed for duty each day during the year
The death rate for disease wa 81, the total number of deaths being
3o7, forty of which were from tuberculosis, twentythree from pneunon-
ia, seventeen from neplrts and fifteen from organic heart disease.
Probably the most interesting portion of the report is that dealing
with the control of preventabe diseases. The record made in our army
in the oblteraton of typhoid fever has become a subject of worldwide
comment among military and sanitary authorities. Only three cases Of
typhoid fever occurred in the army during 1913; two were recently en-
listed recruits who were admitted to the hospital with the disease inside
of the first six days of service, while in the third case, only partial inn
munity through vaccination had been established. All three of these pa
tents recovered. By way of contract, the report states that in 1912,
there were eighteen cases with three deaths in 1911 forty-four cases
with six deaths in 1910 one hundred and fortytwo cases and ten deaths,
and in 1909 one hundred and seventythr cases with sixteen deaths.
Among all the troops scattered along the Mexican border and in large
camps of Texas, not a single case of typhoid has occurred in an inocu-
lated man since June a, 1912.
This means that typhoid fever as a military disease, as an accompa-
.ninent of military service and camp life, is practically a thing of the
past. Only those familiar with the awful ravages of this disease in all
previous wars under all conditions in which large numbers of men were
herded together under unfavorable conditions can appreciate the enor-
nous economic and military value of this fact. The report is full of in
teresting data, % numerous as to make it possible to refer only to the
most interesting. The medical department of the army, June 80, 1914,
consisted of 426 medical officers, ninety-one reserve officers, sixteen
contract surgeons, twenty-eight commission dental surgeons and thirty
nine contract dental surgeons. The remainder of the 5o44 persons con-
nected with the department were army nurses and members of the hopi-
tai corps.
OF the nineteen candidates who had passed the preliminary examina-
ton for appointment to the medical corps, seventeen successfully COM
pleted the course of instruction in the army medical school and sixteen
were recommended for commissions. The library of the surgeon gener-
ais office contained on June 80, 1914 a total of 2I04o4 volumes and
$780, 800 pamphlets o medical and surgical subjects. The army medical
museum contains A., 100 specimens. Reports from the various hospitals
press the reader with the wide range and scientific thoroughmess of the
work done by III army medical corps.

not in the east. nor is he expected
here"
Ben Gill, secretary of the Jumbo
Extension Mining company, made
the following statement today:
Regarding the rumor in San
Francisco today I have this to say:
The Jumbo Extension Mining COM
pany has not been served with pa
pers of any sort. and nothing what
ever is known of the circumstances
on which the charge is alleged to
have been made. The directors of
the Merger Mines company. at a reg
ular meeting, authorized the sale of
the Velvet claim to the Jumbo Elk
tension Mining company. The Jum-
DO Extension Mining company, at a
regular meeting of it's directors, au-
thorized the purchase of the Velvet
claim from the Goldfield Merger
Mines company. The directors of
the Goldf1eld Merger Mines COM
pany acted under full authority vest
ed in them by the bylaws, and their
action has been approved by the
stockholders. The action taken by
the directors of the Jumbo Exten-
sion Mining company was also I'M
der full authority vested in the
board by the bylaws, and approved
by the stockholders.
THE option to purchase the EVIL
vet claim was executed on March 20,
1914. between the officers of the
Goldfield Merger Mines company and
the Jumbo Extension Mining COM
pany. This option was exercised in
due time, calling for a payment of
$4,000 cash and 171,00O shares of
Jumbo Extension Mining company
stock. The $4,000 cash has since
been paid, and the 171.OOO shares of
stock delivered and deed to the Vel
vet claim has been executed by the
Merger Mines company, delivered to
the Jumbo Extension Mining CON-
pany and filed with the recorder
here. The deed is a good deed. bas-
ed on a United States mineral pat
ent. If the stockholders of the
Goldfield Merger Mines company
have any grievance against their
board of directors it is a matter for
them to fight out with that board,
and cannot in any way affect the
Jumbo Extension Mining company"

Original Velvet lease shaft have ar
rived on the ground and are now
being framed. As has been stated
previously, this shaft was sunk to a
depth of 400 feet in the early days
of the camp, and it is the intention
of the management to enlarge it
from two to three compartment size
and continue it down to the 1917
foot level to provide more hosting
facilities and permit of the ag-
gressive development of the north
eastern section of the Velvet claim.
An e%ight-drill air compressor, which
will form a part of the new equip
ment for the lease shaft, will arrive
from San Francisco in the next day
or two. A rs h. p. double-drum
electric hoist for the shaft, ordered
from Denver, Colo, is due to reach
Goldfield in the next week or EN-
days.

EXCHANGE MAY
Be ORGANIZED
G. S. CLACK Is LEADING FACTOR
IN PRESENT MOVE
MENT

Steps are being taken looking to
the organization of an active stock
exchange in GOldfield. G. S. Clack,
who was identified with brokerage
circles of the camp in the early days
and who recently returned here, is
the leading factor in the new move
ment. He says he is meeting with
corporation and it is not improba-
BILE that success will crown his eff
forts. He declares present local
conditions warrant local calls.
Several members of the Goldfield
mining stock exchange, which was
organized in the boom days of the
camp and which is still in existence.
though it has held no calls for sew
eral years, held a meeting yesterday
afternoon. The question of resum-
ing calls was discussed at some
length but no decision was reached
in the matter.

Use of "Kelp" as Fertilizer

Ali along the Pacific coast from Mexico to Alaska there is a vast
quantity of fertiizing material in the form of giant sea weed known as
"kelp' This material says an investigator in the United States depart
ment of agricultures new bulletin, if treated by a process similar to that
used to convert the waste from fish canneries into fertilizers, will yield
a commercial fertilizer of particular valle because of its relatively large
content of potash.
Any scheme for using kep on a large scale a S a fertilizer must be
based on some method Of concentrating its valuable constituents, he.
cause green kep contains so much water. Investigations seem to show
that at present, considering the economic conditions on the Pacific coast
kep may best be prepared for the trade merely by drying and grinding
Even wet kep, which contains s. per cent moisture, contains two and
a half per cent of potash, where stable manure alfalfa and cow-peas all
contain less than one per cent. Drying. however, increases the percent
age of potash to 1873 per cent. This commercial product also has 10 per
cent OF nitrogen and some phosphorus. On the retail market OF the Pa
ciic coast the total value OF a ton of khp should be, according to et-
mates, S22o4. In the eastern wholesale market it should bring SIO45.
The main fertilizers termed potash carriers today used in this
country are the German potash salts. Laboratory tests have shown that
kdp is quite as effective as potash salts, and dry kelp would enter the
trade as a potash carrier to compete with the imported products. Kelp
has been used as a fertilizer for centuries in the British isles, and has
been SO valued there that lands carrying kelp-harvestmg privileges
brought special prices. In New England also kep has been found val
uabe. The kdp on the Pacific coast differs from the e weei of the
Atlantic because of their much greater size. Already this product OF the
sea gardens of the west has been used ii Alaska, particularly in fertniz-
ing potatoes and on truck gardens. Near San Pedro, Calf, kep has
been harvested mechanically and shipped in the crude, undred condition
to the ranches and orchards of that part of the state.
The new bulletin of the department goes into considerable detail in
describing how kep should be harvested, dried and ground into a coarse
powder for bagging and mixing. Since the ingredients of kp are eth
er neutral or beneficial in their influence on plant growth, to prepare
kep for use a a fertilizer it is necessary only to convert it into a form in
which it can be preserved and shipped. To accomplish this it is sufficient
to harvest, drive off the water which it contains. and grind to a coarse
powder for bagging and mixing.
Kelp is harvested BY a machine which enbodies the principles of the
moving machine or reaper used in harvesting agricultural products The
harvester actually in operation consists essentially of a barge over the
end of which projects an adjustable frame, supporting an endless belt,
tilted to form an incline plane. Across the lower end of the belt extends
