ORE OF ROCHESTER,
MINES SENT TO MIL

Cold weather and deep snow have
caused some delays since the first
of the year, according to reports
from Lovelock. The tracks of the
Nevada Short Line were cleared
Thursday and ore is going to the
mill steadily.
With what probably will prove
the hardest storm of the winter a
thing of the past, and with new
equipment amply able to handle all
necessary tonnage, officers Of the
company believe transportation diff
eiculties have been solved ana that
the present year will be one of al
most continuous operation of the
plant.
Officials of the Rochester Mines
company say the company mill oper-
ated 1913 days in 1915. making a
general average of $500 a day.

OUTPUT OF PIOCHE Mines FOR
PAST YEAR LARGEST IN HISTORY

600 for freight On ore shipped from
the district in 1915. OF course, the
road received more than that
amount by reason of shipments from
the mines, as a higher rate is
charged for the ores of higher grade
than that carrying the $1.75 rate.
Then take into consideration that
taken in from supplies, merchandise,
ETC., it would be safe to estimate
that the road was benefited by rea-
son of the existence of the mines
here to nothing short of $250,000.
The possibility of a much greater
tonnage of ore leaving the district
during 1916 is extremely favorable.
There will be no letting up in the
output of the Prince; the Bristol
mines will produce as they never
have before: the Consolidated Neva-
da Utah mill will be i'm operation
within a few months; the Yuba
mill will likely increase it's daily
output: the Doris Mining & Milling
will be sending out bullion
from its cyanide plant; the Green
wood Leasing company will no doubt
have things in full sway within a
few months and with the prospect
of a continuance of hight prices Of
metals, others will be encouraged
to get in line and help to make the
nresent year the most prosperous
''ne ever known in the history o.
mining in Phoebe and Lincoln cour-
ty.
The European war is one of the
ronses for the present high metal
rrices and after the war is ended
rcanv believe good prices for the
products of the mines will prevail

of your two collections.
The priests, every time, will look more like
a set of confirmed meat-eaters, wine-bibbers,
and H6ert5neS, than do the fast young men
about town.
Why make dupes of ourselves about these
self-lndulgent, robust bachelors, who carry

Of chastity, belied by their voluptuous ply

Evidence? Great God! the records reek

but refused to remove the cause Of 1t.
The cause of it is, ccA6acy!. Councils have

without removing the cause.
Do we need to be told, again. the moral
characteristics of the Spaniard, the French

ten thousand full-sexed Latins and Celts, one

The Roman empire found it most difficult

but the Roman church has 10000 male vestals

believes that ere have $4,000 vestals, where the
Roman empire had sac.
Of those SIX one was constantly yielding

reformers to publish Bibles in the common
language of the people,
Professionalism makes for democracy, indi-
E1dual freedom, personal independence;
liberty of conscience, Of speech, and of press:
therefore, the Reformation, which wrested
these jewels from the bloody hands of Rome,
was diabolical-just as Popery says it was.
Roman Catholicism denies the laity any
privileges, save those Of selecting which image
to worship, and which "Saint" to patronize,
and Of paying the expenses Of the whole
stupendous imposture.
Popery makes for absolute monarchy; for
despotism in Church and State; and the
Union Of the two, for the division of the
spoils
Popery is the logical ally of monarchy:
they two represent the extreme contrast to
liberalism, to republicanism, and to democ-
racy.
Popery hated and feared secular learning:
hence it burnt the libraries, closed the schools,
and lowered the lights over Europe for
thousand years.
Popery killed the innovator, tortured the
philosopher, imprisoned the scientist, CEN
sored the press, and penalized mental indie
pendence.
1t licensed the brothel, bat shaczled the
book; sold a pardon to the assassin and the
rapist, but relentlessly tortured the Baptist,
the Lutheran, the Waldensian, and the Lollard
who denied that God could be man-created out
of bread and wine.
But the dauntless men Of the Reformation
who stood forth and combatted all this-men
who fought and bled in Holland, in Bohe-
mia, in Hungary, in England, France, and
Spain--these men were ong-headed, per-
verse, deserving Of bitter condemnation and
frightful death.
To that logical conclusion, we are inexora-
bly, driven, if the text chosen by the Rev NJ
Ashby Jones means what he thinks it does.
If the Pope is zone casting out devils in
thy name," and one who is therefore not to
be hindered, he ought never to have been
hindered.
Truth and Right are not matters de-
pendent upon years, upon centuries, or
upon cycles: if Popery wears the halo of
sermon implies, then the fires Of Smithfield
are defensibe, the Inquisition is Holy, and
Alva links himself with Torquenada as an
Evangel Of the Lord.
IF Popery ought not to be opposed moo0, 1T
never was right to oppose 1t, for 1t IS the
same now that it was when it burnt Jerome
and Huss
If Lukes verses confer "a Scri ptural au-
thority and approval upon Popery, then all
modern progress, made IN spite Of Rome, is
sin against God, and we ought to return to
the Dark Ages

The Rev. M. Ashby Jones says, ''No"
Talk about "unspeakable crimes" committed
in the clustered converts! Can there be any
baser crime, involving more turpitude, than
to take poor woman's child, in the name of
"charity," and then sell it to rich woman,
to aid her in stealing money?

Florence Cleland, who was kidnapped into
the Papal laundry, in Washington City; and
who lost her life, attempting to escape from
that hideous slave-pen!
Some five or six years ago, Comptroller
Prendergast, of New York City, suggested
that the church institutions, which were re-
ceiving several million dollars year from
the City, be inspected.
The priests roared an indignant protest,
and Prendergast backed down.
But public sentiment was not satisfied.
People feared, there must be something aorong,
since the priests refused to let the State sec
for itself.
The final result was, the appointment of a
Committee by the Legislature, to Investigate.
Then what did the priests do? They did
all in their power to suppress evidence, and
to run witnesses off.
Sufficient testimony was obtained, however,
to prove that those church institutions were
foul with disgraceful abuses; that the inmates
little children-were brutality, shockingly
mistreated; and that the Roman Church acas
the only one sohioh bitterly opposed the much
needed inspection.
The scandal has held the New York papers
for months. The Catholic priests have
venomously denounced the Catholic Mayor,
who pushed the investigation. These priests
caused Catholic police officer to attempt
suicide, in consequence of their vengeful
persecution of him, for telling admitted truths
on them.

TWO TROOPS INDIAN
CAVALRY FOR MEXICO

Fort Yates. April Through Su-
perintendent Covey the Indians of the
Standing Rock reservation last week
telegraphed the governors of North
and South Dakota and the Commits
siOner Of Indian Affairs an offer to
furnish two troops of cavalry for ser
vice in Mexico if needed. Enlist.
ment forms are now being circulated
in each district of the reservation in
the two states and they are being
freely signed.
While there is little probability at
this time that there will be call
for volunteers for Mexican service,
yet the Indians are to be commend
ed for their expression of patriotism,
and willingness to help defend their
country should occasion arise.
1t is understood that there is a
movement on foot among the In
dians of other reservations in South
Dakota to raise full regiment of
volunteers.
