217 tons, the Montana AZ tons,
the MacNamara 95 tons, and the
Midway 80 tons, making the total
tons, the estimated value being
$19S,666. This valuation is cal
culated on the gross milling value
Of the ore.
The Extension company shipped
On December 21st, as a result of
the cleanup for the first half of
the month of December 38 bars Of
bullion, weighing SS,565 ounces.
The estimated worth of this bullion
is $79,762.50, according to the
figures put upon it by the company,
this being based upon the present
prices for the silver contents OF
the bars.
The better quotations for the
metal, which have prevailed for
over a month, during which period
silver has consistently remained
above 20 cents, are beneficially
affecting the earnings of the To-
nopah companies, especially those
which, like the Extension, are pro-
ducing this precious metal In large
quantities.
Aside from the statement OF
earnings for the past months and
the regular b~i-weekly report of buy
lion shipment, conditions at the big
property of the Tonopah Extension
maintain much the same status of
affairs as has been shown during
the present quarter. The main at
traction, of course, in the eyes of
the persons interested in the pro-
perty, is the progress that is be-
ms made in the Victor shaft, which
is to be sunk to the 8O0-foot level.
Following the interruption caused
by the increased flow of water in
the shaft, and the consequent ne
cessity of delaying operations until
more adequate pumps could be in@
stalled, a fine rate of progress has
been maintained. The work is now
being done under the contract sys-

Success in this line will mean
much for the Tonopah Extension
company, and will inspire other
companies in the vicinity of the
Extension mine to a more diligent
their respective properties.
The footage for the past week
was we'll up to the general average
of the mine, according to the past
reports. The total amount of new
ground broken was 284 feet, di-
vided as follows: In the No. 2
shaft workings, 125 feet, and in
those served by the Victor shaft,
159 feet. This lei an increase
OF about SO feet over the footage
recorded during the preceding week.
Tonopah-Belmont
The Tonopah Belmont Develop
ment company, as a result of the
mining operations carried on at the
local property Of the company dur
ing the month of November, has
shown profits amounting to $121,-
265.67. This amounts to more
than a 33 1-3 per cent increase
over the previous month, and brings
the total net earnings of the Bel
mont company up to $1,151,482 for
the II months which have elapsed
in 1916.
The earnings as reported for the
present year have been sufficient to
have paid Is cents a share on the
outstanding capitalization of the
company, or a half more than the
rate that is at present in force.
Everything at the outside pro-
p~erties, according to late reports,
is moving along in the most salts

ings of ore at the Surf Inlet mine,
with this object in view have been
making progress since the Belmont
company took over the option IL
held on the property. So far as is
known, the Emma mine in Colorado,
which has been under option for
some time, is making good pro-
gress.
This is likewise the status of af-
fairs as concerning the drilling oper-
ations of the Belmont company on
the territory situated in the east
ern part of the Tonopah district,
recently acquired by the corpora
ton under options and working
agreements.
Though nothing has been discov-
cred as yet in these operations, in
the way of changed formation or
the picking up of possible orebod-
les, the diamond and churn drills
are making good progress in their
prospecting on the East End and

TonOpah Mining Company
On Monday, the 18th instant, the
board of directors of the Tonopah
Mining company met in PhiladeI-
pbia and in addition to ~transacting
the usual routine business declared
the regular quarterly dividend at
the rate of Is cents per share.
When the dividend, which is tie
46th to be declared, and which is
payable January goth to stockhold-
ers of record of December 30tn,
shall have been paid, it will make
q total disbursement in the way of
dividends by the Tonopah Mining
company of $13,75O,OO0; and this,
together with the $3SO,557.51 paid
to the preferred stockholders of the
company for the purpose of retiring
such stock, makes the entire return
OF the stockholders of over $14,-
100000.
Chief among the interesting items
which have been given out by the
local management among the re-
ports of development and other cp-
e. ations at the property, is the an
nouncement that actual sinking in
the Sandgrass shaft was commenced
on Monday last, the drills for the
compressor equipment having finally
arrived. According to the present
intentions Of the management, the
shaft will be projected until it has
attained a further depth Of at least
$50 feet.

HOLLAND APPEALS FOR BELGIUM

In Holland they hold no decisions about the Belgian
GeDortations. They are n~eighbors and they say they
know what is going on in Belgium. A league has issued
an adj ,ress in the name OF all humanity to the United
States as the ~mightiest OF the neutral nations to LEAD IN d
determined demand that the inhuman practices OF uel
many cease. In this address they say, among otler
things:
To put an end to this-to arrest this heH1sh
scourge which at this moment lacerates the whole
of northern France and western Russ1a-there Is
but one way open, and that is collective dClloh oh
the part of neutral nations.
And for you, citizens of the m1ght1est OF the neu-
trail states, it is, i'll our opinion, the right and duty
to take the leadership upon yourselves.
Only if you place yourselves at our head can any
success crown our efforts. This tyranny IS not to
be borne in patience, and the neutral nations can no
longer stand idly by while in western Europe the
most primitive laws Of humanity, observed even by
uncivilized races, are trampled under loot.
The league of Holland says that the things reported
are not things rumored merely, but known. The German
military authorities are committing thousands of Belg1anS
to a form Of slavery that has no parallel since the dark
ages. They are denounced as practices that even savage
nations scorn nowadays. The severing of families, taking
the strong members away, amid scenes OF panic, and car
rving them to unknown destinations and into unknown
fates is going on every day. 1t is not only in Belgium, but
in northern France that it has been going on.
The Germans have already told the Holanders in the
poltest Of diplomatic language that it IS none OF their
business and they have made a similar reply to the Swiss
representations. The Swiss have been told to keep still so
long as it does not effect them directly. The German gov
eminent must be the Judge of what is best tor Germany IN
this WOrld 5 CrlSlS, ana whether lllo 10 poo y DelSNuh %
a minor consideration. But the German representations
are to the effect that it is best for the Belglans also, for it
will enable the corner loaferS" of the world to be employ
ed in producing things that will help to keep their fellow
men alive-if it is not in producing things that will enabl:
the Germans to kill more OF their enemies
We cannot come to any other conclusions than that
the Germans are doing some drastic things in the con
quered areas, but they are probably finding self lustifica
ton enough to enable them to go ahead with the work.
President Wilson on behalf of the American people has IL
ready registered due protests, but the protests viii prob
ably receive no more attention than is necessary to make
polite replies. In the meantime we can only think of poor
Belgium, so ruined and raped and distracted in the world.
It's situation is almost homeless and hopeless and endless.
And vet Belgium was not involved in this war further than
that it laid in the course o. the big nations that were bent
on waging the bloody business.

In testifying before a government commission in
Washington last week, William ]. Bryan declared himself
not only against the government ownership of railroads,
but likewise against government regulation. Yet only
eight years ago Mr.. Bryan made a race for the presidency
of the United States as the avoWed advocate and cham
pion of government ownership. 1t is becoming as diff
cult to keep up with Mr.. Bryan's fip-flops as it is with
those of President Wilson. And the pale, inconsistant
moon hasn't anything on either of them.
The projected peace mission of churchmen in Europe
might command enthusiastic support in certain cities if
Mr.. Bryan will head the procession and stay on the job to
the finish.

cost of living. r. ere is the risk of congress Being con

C. A. Pittwood, nominated by the
republicans for commissioner of the
Second district, wants the people to
know exactly where he stands on every
issue. He has nothing to shield. He
knows NOW where he stands on the
Nease cruise deal. He will stand for
the taxpayer against the payment of
those warrants. He will exert every
possible effort to the end that this big
suit, involving $4,000, may not be
lost in case the suit is appealed. He
will practice the same strict economy
in handling county funds that he has
in handling his owr. money. He owns
$40 acres of land. He pays as he
goes. He has no mortgage on his
place, and will not mortgage the peo-
pie of the county without the people
vote for it, and by their expressed will
order him to do so. At the same time
Mr.. Pittwood is not oppo ed to such
internal improvements of roads and
schools as the people are able to pay
for, just as he proposes to improve his
farm by substantial barn next spring.
In that sense he is progressive. Graft
Who that knows Mr.. Pittwood would
accuse him of lacking backbone to
stand for square deal. He was the
| first to speak out and protest when
county fair business was being mis-
managed. He was not afraid to take
stand. He was not afraid to do his
duty. He will not be afraid to do
his duty as county commissioner.
MIR. Pittwood has resided in Clear
water county for twenty years. He
took up a homestead, his present
home, and has been one of the people,
struggling with others to develop
homes here. He has helped organize
schools. He has served many years
as school director. He has taker
an interest in our fairs, devoting his
time to promoting the interest anc
upbuilding of the county. He was a
director of our fruit fairs. He is 6
director of the Orofino Rochdaie com.
pany, and member of the Farmers
Union. He has been merchant, is 9
careful, successful business man, anC
has the confidence Of the people. His
honesty is not questioned. That he
wears no collar, is under the contro
of no ring, cannot be swerved from
what he believes to be his duty, anc
will take good care of the interests
of the people as county commits

man, who had been the principal in
strument in making possible the loot
ing of the treasury, offered to give
the state valuable information as to
other wrongdoing in the handling of
state funds and particularly in con-
nection with the sale of state bonds
and the manipulation OF state war
rants. In this way the claim that
could be urged against the bonding
company was enlarged to the amount
which was later recovered.
The state depository board, of
which the governor is but one member
(the other two being republican, early
in the present year reached the con-

One of the most impudent pieces of
effrontery with which the people of
Idaho have ever been confronted, is to
be found in the address which the
present governor of Idaho, through
the mistaken impression of its people
as to his honesty of purpose, is feed
ing out to the multitude. This bare
faced falsehood is to be found in his
allusion to the Allen defalcation, and
the steps that have been taken to
punish the guilty parties and to re-
cover for the state treasury the money
taken. A statement of the facts, as
they are shown by the court and other
records might we'll be scanned by
every citizen of the state. The at
tention of the voter is called to such a
statement. During the fall campaign
of 1914, it was discovered that O. V.
Allen, state treasurer for a number of
years, was a defaulter in large
amount. Governor Haines, republi-
can, caused his arrest and at once
removed him from office. He hac
been nominated to succeed himself,

of this case.
The case was prosecuted to success
full issue, judgement in the full amount
asked for, together with interest, was
granted, and has now been paid. 1t
is matter of common knowledge
among those in position to know
that exactly the same course would
have been pursued by the two republi-
can members of the state depository
board, even though Governor Alex
ander should have opposed them.
Hia Statement that the republican
Legislature, the republican organiza-
tion, republican members of the state
depository board or anyone else was at
any time in favor of accepting 1913, 600
or any other sum, less than the full
amount filched from the state by Allen
and Coleman, is barefaced lie.
The giving out of such statement
should brand Alexander and those
who copy it with knowledge of the
facts, as bad citizens and dishonest
men.
