"Mexico Irrcdlcnta.,

Bizarre items of news currently APP
pearing include the San Diego idea, +"
the purport of which is to kill all
American males over sixteen in the
territory between the Rio Grnnde and
the Nueces. This region, thus libe-
rated from the American yoke, would
return to the ancient and legitimate
dominion OF Mexico. A preposterous
PROJECT, but translate it into European
terms. Texas south of the Nueces is
a Mexico Irredenta. The Mexican
element in the population is much
larger than the Italian element in Is
tria or the Serbian element in Bosnia.
The Mexican nationalist has no more
forgiven US for the rape of this part
OF his country than the Serbians have
forgiven Austria for the annexation OF
Bosnia. True, the Mcxicans under
our dominion are living in peace and
ought to thank their stars that they
are not forced to choose between villa
and Carranza. The Serbians in Bos-
mia. however, had equally good
ground for congratulating themselves
on their escape from the incredible
horrors of the second Balkan war.
Let us suppose, first. that Irredentism
In Texas is financed by powerful
organization in Mexico, including
among its leaders cabinet members
senators and generals; second, that
some foreign power. say Japan, is

the revolt against us: and third, that

recklessly to deliver an address in
Brownsville. is shot down by agents
of the organization. What would we
do about it--arbitrate?--The New
Republic.

CALL UPON CON-
GRESHAM HEATING

Congressman Keating, of our third
congressional district, will be here on
Wednesday. June 90, to confer with
the people and learn their wishes re-
garding congressional wants.
Spelter is one of the great by-pro-
ducts in our ores, and now commands
a higher price than ever before known
in its history, yet the American
Smelling and Refining company keep
on penalizing the miner for the pro-
duct.
Our mine owners and business men
should interview Mr.. Heating while
here, and inform him that they re-
ceive but SIS per ounce for gold in
lots less than three tons. and but
$3.50 per ounce in carload lots fer
gold 900 fine when 1t is worth S20.67
per ounce at the u. S. mint. Lead,
silver, copper and zinc, (all by-pro-
ducts). are treated to like ratio, and
it is high time that the government
of the United States be apprised of
these facts. and government laws
passed to prevent this ishmaelitish
company from longer preying and
waxing fat from i'll gotten gains wrung
from the brow of labor. Simon Gug-
genheim. the head OF this gigantic
company in Colorado, is no longer
her U. s. Senator, and is not in
position to pigeon-hole a resolution
looking to an investigation of one of
the most grinding corporations this
government has ever known. Let
our business men meet Mr.. Keating
and freely discuss with him the
wrongs inflicted upon us, and way
may be found for our salvation.

QUO vAoIs NEXT WEDNESDAY

Peter McFarlane, manager of the
local opera house. has provided anoth
er unusual treat for the patrons of
his popular playhouse. On next Wed
nesday evening. Quo Vadis will be
shown in eight reels. The produc-
tion of this great historical novel,
dealing with tie history of Rome in
the time of Nero, is one OF the grand
est motion picture accomplishments
of the age, and the opera house
should be packed to see these reels.
The price of admission will be the
same as ON Saturday and Sunday ev-
enings-10 cents for adults and
cents for children.
The opera house was packed last
night at the exhibition Of the sub
marine pictures. which were excep-
tionally interesting and instructive
and Manager McFarlane fully re-
deemed himself in the disappoint
msnt felt by his patrons over the
war" pictures.

We understand that Chambe rlain
company, have rescinded their gold
purchasing schedule of SIS per ounce
for gold in small lots. and will here
after pay the smelter price on all
lots, be they large or small. We do
not impugn their good Intentions. but
suppose there are many causes for
this change of heart. First. they
may have become convinced that the
lot of the gold miner is hazardous,
wrought with danger and disappoint-
ment, and they fully realize that
their permanent duty in life Is to
exercise philanthropic measures to-
wards their fellowmen. Or that the
excessive spring rains have washed
the golden sands from our many hill
tops. and deposited it where it can
be obtained more cheaply than lead
mining. In any case, it is a self-ev-
ident truth that the devastating war
in Europe, where thousands of men
are daily slain, causes the most cal
loused heart to succumb to suffering
humanity. Now let us get fair returns
for our by-products. and we will be
contented humanity.

RETURNED FROM THE EAST

Mrs. Fl. H. Lake and her daughter,
Marjorie, returned from the east on
Monday evening. Mrs. Lake was
present at the graduation exercises
of the National School of Domestic
Arts and Sciences in Washington
where Miss Marjorie has been study
for the past two years. From Wash
ington they came west through New
York and Chicago and at Alton, IL
linois, witnessed the closing exer-
cises and drills of the Western Mill
tary Academy, Willett Lake being a
member CT the graduating class of
that institution. On their way from
Chicago to Alton Mrs. Lake and
daughter spent several days with Mr..
and Mrs. C. A. West. at Peoria. IL
linois, where Mr.. West holds an
important and responsible position
with the International Harvester
company. They found tie Vests in
the best of health and spirits and
very nicely settled in a new home.
Mr.. and Mrs. West wished to be
remembered to their many friends in
Central City.
While in New York, they met two
Of our townsmen, Mr.. and Mrs. Percy
Alsdorf. who showed them many of
the noted and historic places Of the
city. Mr.. Alsdorf is now enga ged
in delivering lectures on radium be-
fore many Of the colleges and insti-
tutions of learning in the east. with
credit to himself and great aid to his
adopted state. The sinking of the
Lusitania for the time. has prevented
him from making his eastern journ-
ey success. but it is again progress

AMONG THE MINES
EUREKA MINE

McCallister and company, working
on the west 6OO-foot level OF the
Eureka mine, are raising a stope go
feet long on a streak of smelling
and concentrating ore from five to
nine feet wide that is worth in the
crude 2h ozs. gold per cord, and
their smelling ore returns from $40
to $40 per ton. Grabmair and COM
pany are raising a stope adjoining on
the west, also driving the breast of
drift on a streak of smelling and
concentrating ore from three to
nine feet wide, the smelling ore re-
turning $50 per ton, and the concen-
trating ore returns over 5 ozs. gold
per cord. On the 3O0-foot level west,
Carl and Braddick are STOPPING on a
streak of concentrating Gre worth 21a
ozs. gold per cord, all the concen-
trating ore being treated at their
mine.
Less than year ago, this mine
and mill were as silent as the Kais-
er's reply to the American note. but
the mine under the economic manage
ment of Gus. Rotner, its systematic
foreman. and the mill under the skill
full manipulations of Master Mechan-
ic H. NJ. Gilbert, has forged to the
front, and is now one of the fore
most mines and mills of the county.
All the work is performed under the
skillful eye of Manager John c. Jen-
kins, who is skilled in finance. as
well as diplomacy. and would make
an excellent successor to the late Ia
mented Bryan.
