Should Re Ample to Protect
DOUGLAS
ALTERS PLANT

The president of a mining COM
panv with offices in Reno received
a letter from a stakeholder residing
IN the east who is said to be well
informed concerning the Nevada
Douglas, in which he says:
The teaching plant is a great
success but requires some minor
changes and adjustments. There
probably will be one more assess
ncnt."
More than a year ago Nevada
Douglas announced the perfection of
an electrolytic process for the
treatment of it's low-grade sui
phine and oxide ores and work was
started on a plant capable of treat
ins about $50 tons per day. TWO
months ago this plant was put in
commission ana worked satisfactOr-
lily, it is claimed, but was discov-
cred that finer grinding was 9
essary in order to get through a
large tonnage and make the ex.
traction in the prescribed period of
tine It is claimed that the I'm
pauy will be able to produce copper
metal at a cost of &c per pound,
bCsides turning out a valuable by
product in the form OF mineral
paint. The plant, it is said, will
treat $50 to 500 tons of ore daily
wen the new machinery is installed,
Which it is eXepcted will require So
days.
The company owns the old Lud-
wig and other valuable properties
at Yerington in Lyon county, ana
formerly shipped its ores to the
smelter at Thompson.-Gazette.

IROMISE OF MAKING SUB
STANTIAL PRODUCTION

ROCHESTER, New, March IL
To facilitate shipments from the Zig
CODY of ore recently opened in the
south drift from the Pitt tunnel,
and others toward which development
is progressing, officials of the Roch-
ester Merger Mines company are
now preparing to erect large ore
bins at a convenient point near re
portal of the tunnel and the con-
struction of a spur track from the
Nevada Short Line railroad to the
bins. This connection can be made
with about 1900 feet of track ana
will give adequate shipping facil-
tiles from this portion of the prop
erty.
A large production will be forth
c1,ming through the Pitt tunnel,
which cuts the veins at a depth CT
approximately 500 feet, with virgin
ground to the surface, except where
lessees operated to a comparative
" small extent. Raises will be
put up on the varioues orebodies
so that almost the entire tonnage
frt1n these workings will be brought
to the surface through the Pitt
tunnel. intermediate levels will
be driven from the raises, and
Stopping operations will be COM
menced at the tunnel level. With
10 to 20 feet of excellent ore dc
monstrated on this level, there IS
every assurance of IN immense cut
put.
The showing of ore in the south
drift continues about the same DIS
last week, the most recent assays
from the face Of the drift indica,-
ing an average of $24 per ton. Sam
pies will naturally vary from time
to time hut the general average has
beer excellent.
Blocking out ore continues in
the so-called Ferry and Sampson
workings. 800 feet above the Pitt
turrel level, SO everything will
be in good shape for a big and
steady production Of ore that should
average around $50 or better per
ION, Wien IHo TOduS die III NoH
dition to permit of hauling.
The new compressor plant that
has been purchased will be installed
as soOn as possible, so the extern
sive campaign of development 1T
numerous places on different veins
can be carried on at a good speed
with machine drills. High-grade
commercial ore in large quantities
is now in sight in the Pitt tunnel,
the old Boughton lease workings,
the Ferry and Sampson workings,
two or three places on Sunflower
Fi'l. and in two Merger company
drifts in the Friedman tunnel, so
there is plenty of ore already
known or opened to work on ~
soon as equipment "a be provided
for energetic operations.

firmed the suspicious of the citizens
of the southern town and special
measures will be taken to check the

Nh. Straus, "can be achieved only
b. the most thorough preparedness
OH part of the nations that want
peace and order i'm the world.
This, l maintain, is the over
WIDENING reason why America
should have a powerful navy and
a strong army and the thorough
equipment essential to the efficient
use of this power.
I'VE need preparedness not to
fight battles, but to prevent ba5-
ties being fought. 1 deny emphat-
ically that preparedness leads to
a l assert with deep conviction
that thorough preparedness on the
rart of America will be the best
guarantee that the world can have
that there will be no more wars.
If It is possible Tor this coun-
try to be threatened by war, and
who can say that it is not possible,
car such a calamity be better avert
cd by weakness or by strength"
Great Army Not Wanted
That strength must not re
sought in a great standing army.
Al! our traditions, all u convic-
tions, all the judgment of great
Americans of the present and the
past, speak a solemn protest against
the building up of a vast standing
army and placing on it the a
TONS hope of peace and defense.
We ought to put our trust in a
a citizen army of defense that will
impress powerfully every ambitious
aggrandizing country in the world.
The national safety, the perpetual
ton of peace, our sense OF fairness
and our principle of equality OF all
before the law, speak weightily for
the Swiss plan. We cannot afford
Stake SO much on the bare hope
that volunteers will always ne
found. If we are to be prepared
We must make our preparations i'll
time of peace.
Modern warfare, as every n
must see, calls for long prepara-
ton on a definite and continuous
policy. That policy cannot be built
and aintained on the uncertainties
of volunteer response.
There is no a why every
thing should be expected from the
volunteer and nothing demanded
from the shirkers. There is no rea-
son why one able bodied man
should expect another to do his
fighting. There is no reason VIII
one selfish household sould be al
lowed to keep it's sons out OF trail
ing and out of fighting II war
should come, while the brave sons
of Drawer and more patriotic famll-
les send their sons to the flag.
If we mean t when we declare
about equal rights for all and spe-
cial privileges to none" we should
make our national defense demo
cratic in fact as we'll as in campaign
oratory, with patriotic service from
all who are physically fit to give
it.
That will make for justice, for
peace, for a stronger nation phvsi-
cally and a manhood more efficient

SWISS PLAN OF DEFENSE MEANS
EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL PEOPLE

The declaration of the Union
club OF New York for universal
n~llitare service for all able bod
led men is an effective answer to
the as. ertion occasionally heard that
if the United States should find it
sell in a defensive war the bur-
den of the fighting would be
thrown on the workingmen.
Under the unfair volunteer plan
there may be some semblance Of
truth in that complaint. Under COM
pulsory universal service, as with
the Swiss system, that injustice
would disappear.
The Union club has a large men,
bership of healthy men. When they
declare for compulsory training or
all the young men of the nation
they manifest a democratic and pa
triotic readiness to bear their
share of the burden of national
defense. 1t means that such OF
them as we're of military age would

and through discipline the moral

A CHURCH AND ITS PASTORS.

In an historical sketch of Good
Hope Presbyterian Church in Ander-
son County, written by State Sena-
tor J. L. Sherard and printed in The
Anderson Intelligencer, the follow
ing with reference to Rev. 4. G..
Ligon, one Of the pastors of this
church for many years, will be IN
terestinp. Reverend Mr.. Ligon
was a native of Abbeville County in
the Lebanon Section and had friends
in other sections Of the County. The
following is so much Of the sketch
as pertains to him:
Rev. r. c. Ligon.
In 1876 Rev. r. c. Ligon, a faith
full servant of the Lord, began his
labors, which lasted for quarter
of a century. Like Mr.. Humphreys,
he was man of unusual piety, COM
mon sense and breadth Of sympathy.
His ministry within the church was
abundantly blessed, but outside the
church a balanced combination of
most excellent qualities of mind and
heart made him a valuable citizen
of the community. He took a live
interest in the Public Schools, and
in all movements flor the progress
and uplift of the entire community.
He appreciated the fact, that to per-
form his highest duty, it was part of
his work to see that no evil influences
crept into the minds of the young,
to whom he proved a watchful and
patient shepherd. The work of
minister is not simply to preach the
word from the pulpit, to act as a
mere spiritual adviser and guide,
but he has a fine opportunity to
serve as a leader in temporal affairs
as well, and it was in fulfillment of
this broad mission, that Mr.. Ligon
exercised fine and ennobling influ-
ence upon all the people, who re-
ceived the blessings of his ministry.
A true soldier Of the cross, the
fought good fight, relying always
upon the armor Of righteousness to
win the victory.
John Simpson, David Humphreys,
Richard Cater Ligon-what an un.
usual and splendid heritage to bless
and sanctify the memory of this
church-ninety-two years these
faithful servants in love and humiIi-
ty, in charity and simple faith, min
istered to devoted people, and
pointed their faces hopefully to
God.-The Anderson Intelligencer.
Note: John Simpson served the
church from 1870 to 1907. David
Humphreys served the church from
1921 to Oct. 1869. Richard Cater
Ligon served the church from 1876
to Dec. 1901.
