RETURNS FROM
TRIP TO BOLIVIA

Dr. Francis Church Lincoln, of the
Mackay School of Mines, who was
granted a leave of absence from the
University last May, returned this
week from South America, and will
resume his classes Immediately. Pro-
fessor Lincoln sailed from New York
and on the downward trip visited
Cuba, Panama and Jamaica. The
greater part of the summer was spent
in the mineralized districts of Bolivia
and Peru, where in company with A.
w. Newberry of the exploration de-
partment of the Goldfeld Consolidat-
ed. he obtained options upon property
which he prospected and examined.
Mr.. Newberry remained in Peru,
where he is continuing his explora-
ton work.
DR.. Lincoln's headquarters were at
La Pax, Bolivia, an interesting city
of some $4,000 inhabitants, 80 per
cent of whom are Indians. The city
is situated in a deep basin with inn
posing snow-covered mountains ris-
ing around it. The gayly colored cos
tunes of the natives and the bright
tints of the plastered houses give La
Paz a picturesque interest to the for
eigners. There is an English-Ameri-
can colony there, consisting largely
of men in the employ of the big min
ing companies. The altitude is very
high, but La Pax being but Is degrees
south of the equator enjoys an equa-
BILE climate. 1t was winter during DR..
Lincoln's stay there, and was COM
fortably cool.
DR.. Lincoln examined many of the
old silver, tin and silver-copper mines
in Bolivia and southern Peru, which
have been unworked since the evacu-
alton of the Spanish early in the 10Th
century. These ancient mines offer
good field for development, in the
opinion of Professor Lincoln, for the
increase in ocean freight rates is
more than equalized by the high price
of these metals. 1t is thought that
with the expected drop in freight
rates due to the keen competition of
Japanese freighters that the develop
ment of these mines will be stimu-
lated
Professor Lincoln has amassed a
great deal of material concerning
South American mining conditions
which he expects to use in series of
articles for some of the technical
journals.

MIMI" MONDAY NIGHTS
FEATURE AT THE NIXON

Alice Brady plays the role If Mimi
in the play of the same name, with
all the versatility and grace and
charm which has marked her former
triumphs in Then I'll Come Back to
YOU" Tangled Fates," and other
stellar World Film features. Mimi
will be the attraction at the Nixon
opera house next Monday night.
Mimi, a founding, is taken from
the convent in which she has been
raised, to an inn kept by M. Ducros.
There Dudolphe, nephew of the veal
thy NJ. Durandin, falls in love with
her. However, his uncle wants him
to marry Madame de Rouvre, a veal
thy widow and friend of his uncle.
Rudolphe has a quarrel with his un-
Gle, and leaves him. In the Latin
Quarter in Paris he meets several
Bohemians, who are in the country
for holiday, and in them and their
methods of living Rudolphe sees his
ideal life.
And then, a few minutes later, he
rescues Mimi, and in her he finds his
ideal woman, but Marcel, painter of
some renown, comes between them.
Musette, sweetheart of Marcel, intro
duces her to another rich young
man, but Mimi remains loyal to Ru-
dolphe, although he is led to believe
otherwise, with the result that Ru-
dolphe in a rage. leaves Mimi From
this point they drift to vastly differ
ent channels, until one day Mimi, ex-
hausted, enters the court of Madame
de Rouvre. who tells her that Ru-
dolphe has given her up and to go
away
A friend of Rudolphe, however,
catches a glimpse of her, and tells
Rudolphe. He seeks her, but finds her
in so delicate a condition that she re-
quires instant medical attention. Ru-
dolphe, still in his uncles disfavor
and penniless. persuades his three
other friends to assist him in procur-
ing the necessary money to buy medi-
cine for Mimi. They succeed in rails
ing money enough, but too late. Mimi
passes away in the midst of her loyal
friends, with the realization that Ru-
dolphe has always loved her; that he
had brought the uncle to know that
love will conquer all, and that all her
friends had been true to her and did
so much to make her happy at the
end.

j. A. ROGERS CANDIDATE

In this issue of the Silver State
appears the announcement of J. A.
Rogers, Republican nominee for coun-
ty treasurer. Mr. Rogers was for
many years a Southern Pacific train
man, resigning his position eight or
nine years ago to accept the postmas-
tership of Winnemucca. He enjoys
the reputation of having been the
best postmaster the town ever had.
and if il had been left to a vote of
the patrons of the office, would have
been continued indefinitely. If Mr..

SECURING STATE
ACTION DIFFICULT

Miss Sara Miller of Minneapolis adj
dressed large meeting of members
of the Washoe county branch of the
National Woman's party at the party
headquarters last night. says the
Journal. The purpose of the address
was TO impress the women with the
necessity for securing the passage of
the Susan b. Anthony amendment to
the federal constitution. Miss Grace
Mahan presided.
Miss Grant said, in part: at is very
difficult to secure an amendment TO
the constitution of many states. In
New Mexico an amendment must be
nrooosed by a vote of three-fourths
of both houses of the legislature and
ratified by three-fourths of the elee
tors voting In the whole state and at
least two thirds of those voting in
each county. Twenty-Five years after
the adoption of the recent eonstitd-
ton, for further amendments, only
two-thirds of the elected members
end two-thirds of the electors will
be required
I'm New Hampshire an amendment
can be submitted only by a constitu-
tional convention which can be called
not oftener than once in seven years
and then by an excessively difficult
process. The amendment requires
for passage, two-thirds of the votes of
all electors voting.
Indiana requires for the approval

amendment These are Alabama, Ar
kansas. Illinois. Minnesota. Mississip-
nj. Nebraska. North Carolina, Okla

states. Everyone who votes for a
