The Tribune's Fresh Air Fund

cation has not been sighted in the al
lotment Of places in Tribune parties Is
evident from the fact that if all the
others had secured as many outings
through the fund the fund must already
have provided 1880 vacations this
summer.
But focus your attention on the other
side of the question. II is the three
hundred needy ones on the waiting
list" and those on two hundred other
waiting lists you are asked to think Of!
Do they go 20 the country in the next
ten days?
Il is yours 10 answer the question.
You will answer IL yes" or you will
say mo" to it, just as you contribute
money or do not contribute money to
the Tribune Fresh Air Fund or some
other organization which provides fresh
air outings.
Contributions Fall on
Contributions to The Tribune Fund
have fallen off alarmingly during the
last week. Yesterday being Monday,
which is always a light day with the
fund in the number Of children sent
out. only twenty-five children were sent
away TO the country. But the days
contributions acknowledged below
amounting to 500 in all, will hardly
more than half pay for that small num-
Der OF vacations.
Yet the fund has no surplus from
preceding days to fall back upon. The
money contributed 70 date has been ex-
pended as fast as it has been received.
Is the fund doing its part? Here is
summary Of the numbers Of children
10 be sent out during the next few
days: Wednesday, 20; Thursday, 80;
Friday, 385; Saturday, $50; Monday,
$40: total, 1895. And the fund has in
the country this morning more than
1900 boys, girls and mothers in he
midst Of vacations.
Surely this is the funds part. This
is "A record and a programme no other
Fresh Air fund in the world can equal

Mining Copper
With Steam Shovel

The next morning found US early
a. the brink of the capacious artifi-
cial craters whence ore is annually
taken for the concentration Of some
6O,OO0,OOO pounds of copper. Noun
tains of waste rock tell the story Of
tic prodigious labor necessary to get
at the ores.
A spiral railway descends to the
bottom of the pit, and in successive
steps up and down its ever-expand-
ing sides to its ever-lowering bottom
steam shovels snort and growl as
they scoop up the ore and waste,
drills rattle and engines puff as
they slowly ascend from the pit
dragging long tails of ore cars.
All this activity goes on in the
midst of riot of color-for gray
and blue and orange and green are
the walls of the great burrow. Three
or four thousand men are employed
here and hereabouts, but they are
lost in the immensely of the work
ings.
Ceaselessly the work goes on, and
endless ore trains roll down the
grade to the smelter at McGill, some
twenty miles away, where the ore is
smelted and is then hauled lao miles
on mining railway to get to the
Southern Pacific at Cobre, whence
it journeys some thousands of miles
and undergoes various transforms
tons before it gains the centre of
the world stage at Ypres or the
emin-des-Dames.
The Slavs of the Ely mines are
more efficient for democracy than
those of Kornilof.

ladies we had passed at a desert
resting place in the morning who
had their faces swathed in cold
cream bandages against the fierce
ness Of a sun that outshone, so they
said, the sun Of India or the sun Of
Sudan.
We still retained, however, the
right to smile at the ostentation of
riches they gave to the desert inn
keeper when he apologized for hav-
ing 10 charge sixty cents gallon
for gasolene that had to be hauled
eighty miles by wagon.
THE price of gasolene," they
said, is of no consequence what
ever to u.s."
The next wayfarer may pay a
dollar-if he looks like Manhattan
Island.
SO it was in weary silence that
our car took us into the presence Of
the great mine. The mountains had
shut out the noise into which we
were almost instantaneously plunged.
Noise-and light. Engines whistled
ore cars ratified and clanked, tons of
waste ratified down the high dumps
crowned with arc lights, blasts
roared and shook the earth, men
shouted, heavy ore trains Numbered
down the mountain.
We were momentarily stirred, but
not enough to divert us from our
sleepy determination to find a bed
at the earliest possible moment. 1t
required some determination, too,
for Ely is on the Lincoln Highway,
which is better for mine host in
these automobile days than being on
the Ogden Route.

to-day. The record will stand, but the
fund has no money on hand to carry
out the programme outlined-it may
fail of execution.
Have You Done Your Part?
Somewhere there is a cog loose in the
scheme of things. Somebody hasn't yet
done his part. The outings planned
represent untold wealth in health, in
flesh and blood, in education, in in
SEPARATION to eleven hundred children.
And they can be purchased-no for
untold wealth, but for very easily told
wealth-for about $500.
Are you one OF the somebodies who
hasn't yet done his part? Remember,
only three weeks remain before the
school bell opens the door of the school
and shuts the door OF vacation land

ment streets 70 the railroad stations

Dancing Teachers
Open Convention
"FolIies" Chorus Shows
Ballroom Instructors Light
Fantastic of the Stage

Borough President Marcus ". Marks
didn't appear at the dancing teachers
convention at the McAlpin yesterday
but dancing teachers are used to being
stepped on, and, quite as though they
had been welcomed to New York with
all the formality in the world. they
"rambled" and jazzed" around the
convention floor all day long.
All day. with one notable interludo.
For at 3 O'Clock, when Ned Wayburn
brought over whole stageful of Zleg-
field beauties in bathing suits, panta-
lettcs and white silk tights, the dane
ing teachers sat meekly by and watched
their amazing antics with open mouths.
For, although these teachers are the
alleged lounge lizards" OF the profess
sion, they don't teach dancing exactly
as Ned WayburE teaches it.
II was hard day for Mr.. Wayburn,
for G.. Hepburn Wilson, the doughty
president of the elmer Circle" would
not let him off with a mere exhibition
Of his proves with dancing beauties.
Nor was Mr.. Wilson even content with
introducing the blushing director as
the greatest man in the show business
and the best fellow in the world" but
he made the Inner Circlers' hip-hip-
hooray for Wayburn ard then sing
song for him. After that Mr. Wayburn
was led around TO clasp the hand Of
each dancing teacher there.
The girls did their handshaking, TOO,
but they thought it was fun, and they
nearly wrung the hands off some CT
the more reserved Inner Circlers."
The elmer Circle" has elaborate
plans for this week and next, among
which are the pending negotiations
with the conservatives, who will open
their convention at the Aston to-mor-
row. Marcus VI. Marks is on the pro-
gremme again to-day

~ EMO, New, Aug. 15.-The old
TX saying has it that there
~ is no Sunday west Of Chi
cago and no God west of Denver.
In view of the increasing tendency
Of the West to make itself good by
the legislative route, it may be that
the direction of decreasing holiness
will have to be declared reversed;
but as for Sunday, in these high
pressure days, it is largely in the
discard for the elementary indus
tries.
In the mines of Nevada, at any
rate, there is no Sunday-except
for the administrative Offices. The
shafts are always open, day and
night. When a man gets tired Of
the underground work, which daily
decreases his expectation Of life, he
knocks off and takes a chance on
getting his job back when he has
had enough rest and riot.
Silver will not always be in the
profitable eighties, copper will not
always be worth thirty cents the
pound. The more work, the more
metal and the more pay while the
raying is good all around.
Nevada's silver is needed to pay
the soldiery of Europe their small
stipends. Nevada's tungsten is
needed to make cannon endure and
reinforce steel in its myriad uses.
Nevada's copper is needed wherever
men construct or destroy. The ordi-
nary shaft mine is not a very spec
tacular enterprise. After all it is a
hole in the ground. The men go
down and come out. The ore TUCK
cts 20 down and come back.
A ten-million-dollar mine may
look like a ramshackle backyard on
the surface. But there are mines
that look the part. They are the
open pit mines, where the ore is en-
countered in immense deposits near
the surface. Such mines are those
of the Nevada Consolidated at Ely.
Al Tonopah you may stand un-
abashed in the presence of the
Tonopah Belmont and listen TO tales
Of wealth being garnered in the
twenty or thirty miles Of under
ground workings.
But when you stand on the edge
of one of those sublime excavations
near Ely you instinctively acknowl-
edge greatness, even as you do at
the Grand Canyon. All around you
men hail copper as industrial king
and you are quite willing in the
presence of his herculean labors TO
do him homage yourself.
