from to 20 per cent of the Grimm
ais, and our so-called Christian So
cieties furnish from 80 to 95 per cent
of the criminals, does it not seem
that there is something radically
wrong with the Christian religion?
We read sometimes Of men and
women teaching boys or girls to be-
come pickpockets or thieves. When
caught they are punished the same
as the thief, and so they should be.
That is good law. Would it not be
good law to make each Christian So
ciety accountable for the crimes
committed by the members of their
societies or organizations? Would
that not have a tendency of doing
away with making criminals? l

BOOSTING cIRcULATIoN.-


Day Book has a number of CORE
spondents well worthy of much
larger audience than is possible with
it's present circulation. 1t should be
read by hundreds of thousands.
How can this be done? By in
creasing the circulation, of course.
Yes, but how? This is exactly
what l wish to get at
l would suggest that we set aside
the advocacy of our views on all
other matters for few weeks, or I'M
til after Jan. Is next, and that the in
tervening time be utilized in sug-
costing plans for increasing the cir
culation of The Day Book.
At the end of that time all sug-
gestions or plans to be turned over
to the responsible management of
The Day Book for its consideration.
l feel that no further time should be
lost on this matter, as we are all
pretty well convinced by this time
that the publication and Cochran are
on the square.
When advocating support for The
Book in its early days we we're some
times met with the reply: ooh, this
fellow is only looking for circula-
ton! When he gets this he'll do like
the rest and go to the other side"

ABOUT MIRACLES. - There are

sonic Temple and Lit On your valua-
BILE head, then walked away, I would
say without a doubt, ''Mr Cochran,
l cannot tell lie, cannot swallow
that grain at a time" 1 cannot be-
ieve that any prophet ever went up
in pillar of fire. l cannot believe
in any of the miracles they claim
were enacted in the bible time and
then cannot be performed now, when
the world is worse 1 believe in a
God, believe there lived Christ and
that he was good and worked to in
duce all men to not love gold more
than their fellowman, to live and let
live or deal fair. Christ, like many
other good men, lost his life for
teaching the truth and trying to
bring the people out of darkness into
light, the same as some have lost
their lives working for the same
cause right now in our Dragged up
twentieth century. Let up, you siren

grow civilized.-Frank Smith.

flight north directly toward three
southbOund American cavalry col

The number of soldiers of all

ORE FROM THE
VICTOR SHAFT
AFTER THREE MONTHS REPAIR
ING FIRST ORE WAS RAISED
THIS MORNING

The Victor shaft resumed duty this
morning after having been retim-
bered and overhauled to place it in
condition for the heavy service which
will be imposed on it as the chief
supply of ore for the Tonopah Ex-
tension mill. The production will be
divided between the No. 2 and Vic
tor shafts, but the major portion of
the tonnage will come from the latter
outlet. With this addition the Ex-
tension will increase its daily tonnage
from $50 to about $40 tons. The new
surface and underground trolley lines
went into commission permanently
this morning and now the Extension
has the advantage of the most per-
feet system of haulage and delivery
of any mine in the district. From
the collar OF the Victor shaft a
trolley line three quarters of a mile
in length extends to connection
with the main line running to No.

the waste. taxing 1t pretty heavily
to keep the mill going. The compile
tion of the repairs on the Victor

orebodies on the lower levels. Since
my last visit here there has not been
any development done below the 1850
level Of the No. shaft. We estimate
that the ore supply from each shaft
will now be approximately $50 tons
a day. This will increase our pro-
duction from $50 to $40 tons a day.
