ELECTRICL LINE TO
LUN|NC PROBABLE

The Reno Gazette reports that
a visit to the Wall Street mine
by +. Z. Mechling of the Pacific
Power Company gives rise to the
rumor that this company is to
build branch from main line
near Thorne to Sodaville for use
in the new tungsten mill there
The proposed line would pass
through the thriving towns OF
Luning, Nina and Sodaville and
by short feeder lines power could
be delivered to probably a dozen
mining properties along each side
of the line. The Champion and
Wall Street mines in the New
York canyon section would be inn
mediate users of considerable
power. By such move the COM
pany would find market for q
portion of the power sales lost
through the passing of Fairview
MIR. MecllliGe ;S the company s
consulting engineers and it is stat,
ed by persons close to the inside
that the purpose of his visit here
was to survey the local mining
situation with a view to judg:-
ing what the market for power
might be. Mr.. Mechling was in
strumental in planning and build
ing the lines into Bullfrog and
Manhatten respectively, both very
profitable feeders while the boom
was on.
The Wall Street Company has
adopted leasing policy having
thrown open to lease new pro
perty acquired by them adjoining
the main working. Among the
new leases are Joe Kendall O
the Gold6e1d Consolidated. Jacl
Ogelvie formerly of the Laguna
who just shipped $1,000 ca'
from the 3. & O. lease on the
main Wall Street, and Zoebel &
Walters. Others leases are be-
properties there is a resumption Of
leasing again, many starting in
for winters work.
The Neversweat Mine, adjoin-
ing the Wall Street and on the
same lime contact, is now being
worked by three lessees and also
on company account. A. c. Bach
man, C. F. Bachman and Pau
Stokes are all working leases or
this mine. F. c. Watson, the
owner, has virtually thrown open
the entire two claims for lease
some blocks being offered with
clash bonus for development.
1t being felt that in some cases
a hundred feet of development be
more than a lessee cares to
chance, the Neversweat is offering
a cash bonus of $1.50 per foot for
tunnel run as laid out. This as

FIND VOLCANO IN MINDANA0

tenant Donnelly Says of the
Discovery.

Mindanao has a new-volcano, accord

ant Donnelly, while on hike into the
interior of Lanao province, discovered
an active volcano in the Piagayungan
range of mountains, which heretofore
was not known to exist. Lieutenant
DOnnelly says of his discovery In the
following report:
"June 8, 1916, the undersigned, in
command of combined detachment

the First General Service company, on
reconnaissance patrol from Kapaad

active volcano which from all indica-
lions had recently erupted discharge
of volcanic ash and either smoke or
flame.
"From the fact that foliage In the
forest on the mountain sides three
miles to the southeast had been
scorched as though by flame, hot
smoke or toxic gas, and that ground
vegetation of scrub grass and weeds
had been partially destroyed, leaving
the stalks intact and the scorched
leaves retaining their form, 1t was

real estate operator who is president
of the Chicago board of education,
made a statement in his N. E. A.
speech in New York which is very
important Probably every thought
full man and woman in Chicago
agrees through and through with
this declaration issuing from Loeb's
mouth in New York:
mo father with children in the
public schools, no citizen who loves
his country's institutions, no man
with red blood in his veins, can sit
idly by and let conditions as they are
go unchalIenged."
This sounds like the high and
noble announcement of a 100 per
cent pure patriot. This is a lofty
speech far removed from fire insur-
ance, real estate, school land leases,
site purchases. In fact, any citizen
might jump straight at the conclu-
sion Jake Loeb is a hero rushing like
a brave man to save the schools Of
Chicago from hell's own enemies.
The above quoted paragraph is
fair instance of the sort of insinuat-
ing stuff spread around to middle
the religious issue in the school ad-
ministration.
The foregoing declaration of Jake
Loeb might have some force of ap-
peal if the life and action of Jake
Loeb matched the words of his
mouth.
Jake Loeb sending his children to
a private school has no standing
when he begs the father with chill
dren in the public schools" to listen
to Jake Loeb. The priVateIy-edu-
Gated children of Jake Loeb have a
father who is not competent to speak
to advise the fathers of pubIicIy-edu-
Gated children.

private school maintained for aris-
tocTats and maintainable only by the
cash payments Of rich men like him
self, Jake Loeb has no authority to
step onto a platform and call for re-
cruits to his service from fathers
whose children are in the public
schools.
Jake LOeb's pretense to being "a
citizen. who loves his cOuntry's in
situations" exists only as a pretense.
So long as he keeps his own Ichildren
in a private school he has little au-
thOrity to go blabbing to the citizens
Of Chicago with a call for heroes to
join him. First of all, he might show
some class as lover of his cOuntry's
institutions by removing his own
growing offspring from the walls Of
private schools and place them in
public schools.
Thirdly, we come to Jake EOeb's
appeal to men with red blood. His
exact words are that mo man with
red blood in his veins can sit idly by
and let conditions as they are go I'M
challenged" Coming from the fore
most wOman-fighter in Chicago, COM
ing from a plOtter who works
through secrecy and trickerX,
through persistent refusal to give in
formation asked for by other school
trustees, Jake LOeb's call for red
blOOded men to help him doesn't get
across.

New 'ork. oct. 12.-The British

The City of Madras, a vessel of

AS the ship passed quarantine to-
