Aadreaa ~ Boston SNEAKER.

The principal address was given by
Miss Helen 3. Calder Of Boston, home
secretary Of the Wcman's Board. She
pointed out the fact that girls IN an
hands are very nnnoh alike. Their dress
and ways may seem queer to US. as
ours do TO them. TO really understand
them we must get their point Of view.
We do not have TO adopt it unless It
Is right, and in trying to adopt our
ways they may not understand and
may 90 to extremes at first, finding it
hard TO get the right balance. An in
teresting story of a Chinese girl now
studying to be a doctor showed that
girls there are the same if they could
have the same opportunity. The girls
Of India have an even harder lot. than
those in China, and there is more un-
necessary physical suffering among the
women and girls in India than on all
the battlehelds and in all the hospitals
OF Europe. Three out of sixteen girls
in the world live in India, and four in
China and one in America. The diff
ference in their lives is that we have
Jesus Christ, while they have not. Miss
Calder told Of the Order of the Jubilee
Societies, organized to celebrate the
coming hftieth anniversary of the w.
3. NJ.
The meeting closed with the North
field hymn, Coming, Coming, Yet They
Are, followed by prayer and benedic-
ton by Rev. Samuel III. Howe, d. ID.

There was evening prayer and an
address at the Sheltering Arms Sunday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. f. Johns
Bohanan Of St Andrews church.
Greeneville. The text chosen for the
address was Take we away the stone.
We think of the resurrection at this
time OF year, he began. AT the resur-
rectlon of Lazarus power came from
without. at Christ resurrection divine
power came from within. Why did
not He roll away the stone instead of
asking for help? Human hands could
do IL. so they were called upon. God
helps us, hut it is Gods will that we
help ourselves. There are many du-
ties responsibilities, sorrows that we
ask God to bear. or we cast aside. Our
world is one in which each one is
called to be co-WorlSer with God. We
make no attempt to remove the stone
because we may have to give up a bad
habit. or something we hold dear. All
about are things to make life happier
bur before them are stones, maybe one
of selfishness or indifference or pride.
Then win come the Joy and happiness
Of life. a resurrection of power and
peace.

around 81 to 2S cents large num-

has provided revenue for systemat-

new mines. The same conditions ap-

not advanced so far above normal as

less rich ore often is encountered.
Silver is going higher-there is
no doubt of that in my mind. You
will notice that it is slowly climbing
up, and expect to see the quotation
established at rs cents within a short
time. The silver market is affected
by inactivity at times, but you will
notice that it never fails to advance
when buyers enter the market. The
same conditions exist in lead and
spelter, both of which have gone up
within the past few days. The plac-
ing of new orders for munitions will
be followed by further gains. There
are no heavy stocks to draw from as
in normal times-these have been ex-
hausted and the market is dependent
upon the daily production.

ELY DISTRICT Is
TOP OF BIG WATERSHED

Very few people of this district
continental divides is formed frola
the SUBMITS surrounding the dis
trict, on the west and south, namely.
Kimberly and Murray SUBMITS on
our west; Bullwhack in the south
end of Steptoe forming the drainage
between Steptoe and Cave valleys,
the summit between Snake and Ham
lin valley. Doc Bailey, who was con-
nected with the forest ranger sa:-
vice for several years and has given
the subject much thought, says: ''To
describe the situation more thor
oughly, we will take the drainage
from Kimberly summit. All the
water from that section drains to the
west, or White river valley; raises at
| White river and short distance
south it sinks and does not again
come to the surface until it reaches
the Adams-McGill ranch at Hot
creek. Just south of Hot Creek the
water again sinks and rises in Pah-
ranagat valley; sinking again it
comes to the surface in Meadow val
ley wash and thence flows into the
Muddy at Moapa From there it finds
it's way to the Colorado and on into
the Gulf of California.
"The water drainage to the east
from kimberly summit into Steptoe
valley sinks within a few miles, but
there seems to be no question that il
again rises at Wells. OF course al
of the streams in the intermountair
country sink, which forms the basir
drainage. Whether the subterranear
drainage is to the Atlantic or the
Pacific is matter of conjecture, bu
the fact remains that it does drair
to one. or the other, or the greater
portion of the intermountain countr,

Meadow Valley Lease
Cuts Into Yuba Dixie
AFTER HARD STRUGGLE COMPANY SEEMS ABOUT TO BE RE-
WARDED-MlLL MAY BE NIIORTANl
OF DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

After several months of hard driv-
ing the Meadow Valley Leasing Co
has made connection with the 1900
level of the old Yuba workings, into
which no one has been for something
around 20 years. The old Yuba has
a most envious reputation as an ore
producer in the early days when high
grade lead ores, the only kind ship
able under the early day conditions,
were dispatched by wagons to the
Salt Lake smelters via. Milford,
Utah, and thence by railroad to Salt
Lake. This entailed wagon, haul of
about 140 miles and took exceedingly
high grade lead-silver ore to stand
the transportation expenses in addi-
tion to the high smelling charges
exacted at that time.
The records give the Yuba proper
ty, known in those early days as the
American Flag" credit for a produc-
tion of silver-lead and gold of some
thing over $5,O00,OOO and some of
the ore shoots mined to make this
extraction were very arge and ex-
ceedingly rich in the metals mention
ed The Yuba main shaft caved
some 20 years ago placing the prop
erty out of the producing column
ever since and no development or
exploration work was done in the
property during all this time, owing
to law suits and the caving of the
shaft, until about three years ago the
Yuba Leasing & Development Co.
took hold through lease from the
present owners and even under their
operations the Yuba Dyke, stated by
engineers to be the mother lode of
the Phoebe district, was neglected as
that company confined its operations
mainly to the development and open
ing of the Meadow Valley fissure on
which they also had lease
The Yuba company built mill
last year which after only few
