The past week was marked by a
normal ore output at the North End
of the Comstock by the Union Con.
and Sierra Nevada, the former ex-
tracing 362 tons from the 2400
and $500 level slopes, having a
gross assay value of about $1,000.
The highest values came from No.
A Slope on the 2400 level where
100 tons averaged s31.S9 per ton.
The Sierra Nevada saved 80 tons
from No. / stope on the $500 lev
cl. having an average assay valre
of $15.O4 per ton. The Mexican
mill crushed asa tons of custom
ore, averaging $3.50 per ton, and
having a gross value of over SS,-
900.
The Con. Virginia and Ophir
companies on the 200 level, extend
ed the joint west crosscut four feet
t.. the 461-foot point and discon-
tinued the same. The face is in
vein porphyry with streaks Of
quartz, a strong flow of water
showing. At the 11S-Sfoot point in
this crosscut Con. Virginia has
started south on the vein and adj
vanced II feet, following a heavy
quartz formation of low assay val
tie, and dipping to the east. The
Ophir is drifting to the north
on the same formation, making II
feet for the week. At the Central
tunnel, Ophir completed all re-
pair work necessary at that point.
The Union Con. extracted 120
tons of ore averaging $3.50 from

SWISS MILITARY SYSTEM HAS
ENDORSEMENT OF AUTHORITIES

United States has thus far main
tanned has become obsolete. If a
competent army is to be maintain
ed by the United States it must
be filled and kept full On the prin-
ciple of universal service as a
cause of democracy throughout the
world.
AT this moment the American
people does not seem to have
made up it's mind that it need to
organize and support a competent
army in the modern sense; but
whenever it decides to do so it is
not an army like the present army
and the state militia that it must
organize, but one modelled on the
Swiss army.
The United States could main
tain an army copied from the Swiss
without the least danger of creating
a military class like that which has
existed for many years in every
European nation except some of
the neutral nations. Military and
naval service would rest on a uni
versal n of duty to the coun-
try embodied in legislation"
Likes the Swiss System
DR.. John Grier Hibben, presi-
dent of Princeton university, saiG
in an address of recent delivery
that he was a pacifist, for he be-
lieved in peace through prepared
ness. He is inclined to favor the
Swiss system of universal training,
as he was in Switzerland when the
war broke out and had a first hand
opportunity to witness the remark
able mobilization by the little noun
tain republic of it's citizen soldiery.
Washington, Hamilton and JEFF
ferson fOresaw the need of univer-
sal training of the country's youth.
Our great statesmen-prophets sol
EMMY counseled the young republic
to adopt that principle and the les
son of history have verified the
soundness of their council. The
weight of present authoritative
judgment calls earnestly for it.
Fortunate will be this nation
if it's congress shall heed the coun-
try's need and give it a system
of national defense that will be
just, democratic and adequate.

SCHEELITE DISCOVERY is

A new discovery of scheelite ore
during the past week is reported ny
Mckee and Lisenby of Osceola. The
ore was found about six miles east
of Osceola on the east side of Wea-

the Snake range. The lead a be
traced for about 1000 feet and is
said to be from Is inches to three

adopt this policy. England has
been forced to it even at this late

But England only resorted to
it in time of war" suggested Repre-
sentative Quinn of Mississippi.
1T would have been far better
for her if she had reached that
point before the war was declared"
returned the chief Of staff.
Secretary Garrison would prefer
compulsory military service, and

that congress would assent to it at
this time.

opened in the south drift is proving
to be one of the most important

trict. This ore has been drifted on
over 60 feet and is known to be
at least sixteen feet wide. but its
full limits can only be determined
by further development.

Four to five cents more was
added to the phenomenal prices of
wheat in the early dealings Sat
urday morning, the December
quotation rising to $1.85 in Kan
sas City and $1.9O in Chicago. The
rise was due to continued foreign
buying and moderate receipts.
Corn was carried up about a
cent with wheat, the December
price reaching 81 So cents in
Kansas City and 900 Is cents in
Chicago, about l 1-2 cents under
the previous high levels reached

Watch the Negro Vote.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Morc
than ten thousand men, mostly
negroes, are said to have gone
from Florida alone to Northern
points, particularly Ohio. Indiana
and Illinois, to take employment
offered them in the last two or
three months, the Department of
Justice has been informed. Other
states, including Virginia, the
Carolinas and Alabama, have
contributed to the exodus. All
such movements are being inves-
tigatcd by the department to
guard against election frauds or
other violations of law.
Officials are disposed to believe
that in most cases the movement
has nothing to do with the cleo
tons and is merely a development
in the unusual industrial condi-
tions with larger wages Turing
negroes from normal Southern
employment. Reports to the de-
partment tend to indicate the rail-
roads, confronted with unpreced-
cnt traffic, arc bringing out most
of these men.
