SOCIAL AND PERSONAL ssHAD ARE PLENTIFUL
Secretary Redfeld Says Run Has
Been Good and Fish in Good
Condition

Secretary Redfeld Of the Depart
ment of Commerce has made the fol-
lowing statement concerning the Poto-
mac fishery this year.
"The fact has been brought to the
attention of the Bureau of Fisheries
that statements are being made re-
specting the alleged scarcity and poor
quality of the Potomac river shad,
which are entirely false and which
seem to have for their basis an. at
tempt to maintain high price to the
consumer at time of unusual abun~
lance, when the fishermen themselves
are selling at low figure. The run
Of shad in the Potomac river is larg-
ar than it has been for years and is
excellent quality. Among the state
ments made are some to the effect
hat the Potomac river shad are not
in good condition because CT the
spawning season, and also the state
nent that the Potomac river run of
had is nearly over. Neither of these
statements is true. The Potomac river
,had are in excellent condition; they
are unusually numerous; and the time
When the shad are best eaten is when
,hey are in spawning condition, that
when the fish comes into the rivers
md can be caught. The run of shad
S unusually late; the season has just
pegun and will continue throughout
he month Of May, possibly longer.
So far as their food Value is concern
ID the shad from the Potomac are
ully equal to any from other streams
md are doubtless better because they
re received in fresher condition.

Milling Ore Being

PROTECTION GIVEN
GERMAN employees
COURT GPHOLDS CLAIM on
DRUNKEN PORTER FOR
BACK WAGES

BERLIN, Jan. 5.-In many ways
at least the German working man
or employee of n kind receives the
most perfect protection from his pa
ternal government of any similar
person in the world. The follow
irs case. just decided. is illustra-
tive of the right of German employ
es and of the safeguards thrown
around them.

Presently he received 1 position as
a hotel porter. He had hardl, ha!G
the job a fortnight, however, when
he was missed one day iUs1 as a
CUES arrived. A clerk showed the
arrival to a Don but was as
founded as he opened the dooc 20
find the missing porter, fully
clothed and with very muddy bouts,
badly under the influence of Ii
quor, lying on the guests bed.
The hotel proprietor summary
dismissed the porter. The dis
charged employe. however, sued un-
der the law which specifies that
notice must lie given except Ill
certain well defined cases. The
court upheld the porter's claim ana
awarded him back pay of l67
marks. on the following grounds:
The porter's surrender to the in
fluence of liquor probably was iue
in part to his earlier wounds. rs
act in lying down on the guests
bed was caused by his intoxicatioi.
Therefore it was attributable to the
wounds and excusable. One case
of drunkenness was not sufficient
to warrant summary dismissal, u
less the employe in advance had
been specifically warned not to Wis
it saloons, which was not the case
with the soldier porter.

IN EXPERT REPORT
GOVERNOR GENERAL OF PHIL

MADE GOOD RECORD

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Jan. H.
High praise for Governor General
Harriscn's Philippine administration
is contained in a special report rv
Brigadier General Frank Mcintyre,
chief of the insular bureau, who
made a study of the matter last
fall, The report, submitted to the
president and congress, declares
good progress has been mace ill
lands. 1t says OF Harrison:
He has labored increasingly and
has gained the admiration and re
slect of the people of the islands.
As a consequence. law and order
are prevailing in the Christian
provinces and are better assured
than at any time in the past. Sus-
cess in instituting schools and san
itary work in portions of inhabited
~ wild people has been beyond the
most sanguine expectations of two
years ago. The coalition existing
in the legislature, which resulted IN
the failure for three years to pass
an appropriation bill. has been re-
placed by a spirit of good will and
cooperation between the two
houses"
The report says the island gov
eminent is in good condition finan-
cially, in view of the public work
undertaken, and declares that fl
nancial difficulties are all temper

TUSCARORA SHOWING
GREATER ACTIVITY
OLD MINING DISTRICT
IN ELKO COUNTY Is
COMING BACK

For many years the titles to
some of the larger properties OF
the Tuscarora district have been
clouded with legal tangles that
would take the wisdom of a Sol
ONION to untangle, but time, the
great untangler of tangles, has
finally smoothed away the difficult
ties that stood in the way and
yesterday was the beginning of the
end of poor old Tuscarora's long
enforced rest.
At noon yesterday there was sold
on the court house steps by Sheriff
Harris, by order of the district
court, the property which has been
in litigation, which was bid in by
E. P. Carville for the Dexter-Tus-
sarora Consolidated Gold Mining Co.
for $126,125.54. Now that the
legal tangle is beginning to be
cleared up. it will not be long until
work will be resumed in real earn
est.
The good news that the end to
the inactivity is at hand was phoned
up to Tuscarora yesterday and the
little town already is taking on new
life. Another message received to-
day AYERS that forty people ha re
filed on claims that have been long
since abandoned, and men who
have had no hopes of ever seeing
the old town come back" are
pleasantly disappointed at the life
which the news brought. = Elko

zAO|G PREDICTS A
PROSPEROUS YEAR
VETERAN MINING MAN AMI
BROKER HAS CONEIDENCt
IN GOLDFIETD

The latest marke: letter issued
by Hermann Zadig, the San Fran
cisco broker and mine operator, in
dicates thai Mr.. Zadig has lost lone
of his faith in this district and n a
he maintains an optimistic view OF
the future Of the mines OF Gold
field. His latest communication
to his clients says:
The year 1916 is most likely to
be a very important one Tor tn2
future of Goldfield. Several prom
critics have about reached o" VIII

ther show up a body OF Gre or VIII
prove that commercial ore does not
exist in their ground. We refer
to the Kewanas, Merger MjEes,
Sandstorm Kendall, Blue Bull and
Silver Pick; all of these properties
are in such a stage of development
that during the next IL months
they will produce one thing or
other.
If only n or two OF them maize
a good sized development, it Will
create quite an excitement in all
the Goldfield shares. We believe
maj the present time the Merger
Mines has the best chance.
The next important work that is
going on in Goldfield is the prep
aration now being made by the
two different parties to try the oil
flotation process on the ores CON
tanning quite a percentage OF cop
per, besides the gold. but not high
grade enough to warrdn- shipping

to have their plant ready to make

per ores, and if this test proves
a success, it will near the work
ing of large bodies ii that class
of ore, not alone from the Gold
field Consolidated, out also from
the Atlanta, Kewanas and JUMBO

There is also a company ,ostall-
ing a 150-ton plant to worh the
Florence dumps by the oil flotation
process. We understand hat be-
fore taking the lease they made a
number of tests in 5aft Lake City

satile ratic.photo-dramatic star in
one Of her best scren roles, and at
last nights performance at the Liberty
theater called forth burst after burst
OF applause from the regulation Sun
day evening audience which fairly
overlooked the house In the offer
ing she is ably supported by Wallace
Reid, Pedro De Cordoba and Horace
3. Carpenter. In fact, the cast might
be considered "all-star," as, in addi-
ton to those already mentioned the
list includes Anita King, Ernest Joy
and James Neill, all in big parts.
The experience of Farrar as an in.
ternatiOnal operate artist, especially
her grand opera work, has fitted her
for screen roles that are emotional
and heavily dramatic Maria Rosa"
is such a part. The scenes, which
are typically Spanish, prove a valn-
able addition TO the feature film. The
quaint little village market place. the
elaborate plans for the country we'd
