Il don't claim originality for the idea.
] got 1T from the frank confessions of
DISTINGUISHED senators when the river

boastin2 that he had secured appro-
priations amounting to S3,500,0oo for

newspaper men here i'll the east were
denouncing Congress for pork barrel
legislation there are a lot of people in
other parts of the country who con-
slider appropriations the most impor-
tant function of Congress.
This democratic Congress holds the
record for big appropriations. with
more than s1,625,oooooo for one year.
and enough authorizations to make
necessary bigger appropriations in the
future.
THE people who realized that Con-
gress was appropriating money which
they paid in taxes voted against the
administration as eXtravagant, but the
people who had no evidence that they
contributed to the federal Treasury
looked upon the administration as =
benevolent institution. 1t is all in the
way one looks at what you boys have
called pork barrel legislation. The
government collected three-flfths OF ali

its emergency revenues, two-thirds of
the corporation tax and hve-slxths OF
the individual income tax in the states
that voted against the administration

Insists Upon Demands.
An Athens dispatch to the Daily
Chronicle, under date of November 80,
ascribcs the following statement to
Vice Admiral Du Fournet in command
of the allied fleet iii Greek waters:
Il insist absolutely upon the execu-
ton of my demands and will see that
they are realized in spite of all OBJ
stacles French. British and Italian
detachments will be landed at all
points necessary. I will endeavor to
avoid bloodshed. but Will fulfill my
mission thoroughly"
The Athens correspondent of the
Daily Mail interviewed Vice Admiral
Du Fournet aboard his flagship and
quotes him similarly to the corre-
spondent Of the Chronicle. The ad-
miral said that he did not intend either
to seize the arms or to fire upon the
Greek troops. but declared that unless
the guns were surrendered ne would
land large detachments which would
not reembark until his demands were
complied with. Other coercive meas
ures would be taken at the same time.
"As l have most ample forces at my
disposal" the admiral said. "and some

Looks Personally After Case.

President Wilson has been looking
after the case personally and Will pass
upon any understanding reached be-
tween the ambassador and the Secre-
tary of State.
When the Marina was sunk Ii was
stated from London that there was
some ground for believing she had been
previously connected with the British
transport service Later dispatches
said the ship had been armed with IL
gun astern manned by two British
naval gunners before she started on
the voyage on which she was de-
stroyed.
The Marina had carried a cargo of
horses to England from Newport News,
Va, and was returning when two sub
marines lying in wait sunk her in
stormy sea. from which survivors we're
rescued after many hours of hardship.
Relations Are Threatened.
In its last note to Germany on the
submarine question the United States
threatened to break off diplomatic re-
!ations unless the campaign of de-
struction without warning was
abandoned. Another note declared that
offers of reparation and expressions of
regret would not be sufficient. but did
not actually close the door to accept
ing an admission of error and in
lemnieS for damage in any specific
case where the American government
might choose to deal with it in that
way.
The case was discussed today at a
conference between Count Won Bern
storn, the German ambassador, and
Secretary Lansing. Germany, in a
communication in reply to the inquiries
Of the United States, has asked for
any information in possession of this
government that will lead to a settle

dor and the Secretary of State, which

Legislatures to Meet Soon.

ator Works, land the opportunity is

Senator Works gave it as his opinion
that the District prohibition bill, which
is now on the Senate calendar. would
be passed 1t the coming session of
Congress If It's supporters would ac-
lively insist upon its being taken up
early in the session.
The results of the election in Cali
fornta, Senator Works said. were due
to poor management on the part of the
republican campaign committee and to
the apparent slight put upon Hiram
Johnson and the progressives when
Mr. Hughes visited the state and failed
to meet Mr.. Johnson. Senator Works
expressed the opinion that Johnson and
the progressives were disgruntled. and
that if johnson had whole heartedly
supported Hughes candidacy he could
have swung the state into the republi-
can column without doubt.

GOOD SHOWING
AROUND ADELAIDE

w. T. Roberts, affectionately known
as "Daddy," is in Winnemucea today,
from the Golconda Osgood Montana
and Adelaide mining section. Roberts
is extensively interested in these mine
sections. He ras been for years positive
in his predictions as to the mine impor-
tance and opportunities of the terri
tory surrounding Golconda. Speaking Of
that section he said this morning:
fThe mineral surroundings over our
way are simply great. The miners and
prospeetors are proving valuable and
profitable copper, silver and tungstic
deposits. On the Osgood range large
bodies of tungstic rock is being found
and in such quantities that it will only
be a matter of time when facilities to
reduce same for commercial use will be
applied and production like the
Attolia mines of California established;
copper we have lots and are making
regular shipments of the red metal. In
large measure the silver is a by-pro-
duct, but it all counts and combines
for a substantial, energetic mine stu
alton in eastern Humboldt and north
western Elko county.
"In fact, lately have been eonsid-
erably over the state and find mining
conditions as a whole in splendid con
dition with a larger metal production
for this year than Nevada has had for
many years. 1t is good to know these
things

INCREASED OUTPUT
FOR NEVADA Mines

That more real mining development
is being done in Nevada today than
ever before in its history and that this
year s output, from a monetary stand
point will exceed that of any previous
year, are beliefs that w. r. McF'adden,
of the Industrial Insurance commission,
expressed Saturday when asked by the
Carson Appeal to give it some mining
news.
Mr. McFadden' s work with the in
dustrial commission keeps him in close
touch with mining and kindred indus
tries and in the past two months he has
visited nearly every mining camp in
Elko, Humboldt, Lander and Eureka
counties, and at no time in their his
tories, he says, has mining proceeded
with such zeal as now. Tungsten seems
to be the metal most sought, because
of the high figure that is being paid
or it, and its production is fast assum-
ing proportions. In the Osceola district,
forty-fve miles southeast of Ely, sew
ral companies are working properties
and employing 300 or more men. Twen-
ty miles east of Golconda another big
tungsten property is being worked and
organized company, supposed to be an
auxiliary of the United States Steel
corporation, is employing about so men.
A vast amount of ore is being hauled
to railroad by traction engines.
Rochester, Mr.. McFadden states, is
coming rapidly to the front and in the
camp probably 200 men are employed.
In Contact district, in northern Elko
county and close to the Idaho line, the
Seattle Contact company and the Neva-
da Mining company are working two
promising properties and shipping to
railroad points in Idaho. The ore is
averaging about per cent copper.
In Spring Valley. 40 miles south of
Wells, a great deal of development
work is being done by several compa-
nies, and the mines have opened to such
an extent that shipping will soon be in
order. Gold, silver and copper are the
metals being produced. The old camp
at Bullionville, twenty-five miles south
west of Elko, is again coming into
prominence by reason of new discover
les, and couple of companies now OPP
Grating will begin shipping as soon as
the road can be put in shape. Promising
WOrK is Delng NOne on MdRSle CIoch
and at Lone Mountain, both districts
being situated in Elko county.
Twenty-Five miles southeast of Bat
tie Mountain the National Mines com
pany. the same outfit that controls the
camp of National, is working big an
timony proposition and shipping ore.
At Willow Creek, 25 miles from Bat
tie Mountain, Ralph Brothers are work
ing over an old dump and shipping the
better grade. auto trucks hauling the
ore to the railroad. From Copper Basin
several dumps recently ovehauled are
also being shipped to market by Frank
Paul
Golconda, one of the old-time camps
of the state, is again coming to the
front and a number of properties in
that section are being worked. At this
place the Nevada Mines company, for
merly known as the Golconda Gold
Ledge, is erecting 20-stamp amalga-
mating mill and will soon have it In
operation.
