allies in the wal with Germany.
Not q single untoward incident or
accident of any kind occurred to mar
the occasion and from the time the
procession started, following a pres
ident's salute of 81 bombs, which
broke i'll white puffs over the town,
until the marchers disbanded at the
finish. not more thar 55 minutes
elapsed.
Flag on Columbia
AS the first bomb was fired the
huge flag was raised on the staff on
the sharp peak of Columbia noun
tain, 1000 feet above sea level, and
stretched the stars and stripes to the
stiff breeze always blowing on the
mountain top. The flag flying over
Goldfield is visible for many miles
in all directions and has occasioned
much comment from automobile
tourists and others passing through
the town.
The weather vas perfect for the
big parade, cool and with a light
breeze blowing from the south which
stretched the flags and banners.
The procession, headed by Mar
shall Walter Drabnick, and the gov
in formal dress, with his staff
in full uniform, followed by the
drum corps, started at 2:15 from
the court house. The different di-
visions fell into line in perfect or
der and without confusion, demon
strating the care taken by the mar
shall and his aides in organizing the
parade. The gubernatorial party re-
ceived ripples of applause all along
the line of march.
Following the governor and his
staff marched the civil and Spanish
American war veterans, Boy Scouts,
Red Cross auxiliary, French, Italian
and Serbian divisions, the fire de-
partment, Eagles, Knights of Co
lumbus and Elks.
To the left of the marshal marched

Goldfield has seldom if ever wit
messed a finer, more intelligent and
more representative audience than
assembled at the H%ippodrome last
night to hear the message which
Governor Boyle brought from Wash
ington and to enjoy the program in
general which the committee on
arrangements for Goldfield's patriot
ic celebration had arranged. Every
the standing room that could with
safety be utilized was filled and at
least 800 people failed to gain adj
mittance and we're obliged to return
home. There were about 40 seated
on the stage, including the governor,
the lieutenant governor and sever
al members of the governors staff.
The auditorium was handsomely
decorated in the national colors and
Old Glory was displayed on every
hand. Several handsome flags of
the allied nations also appeared. The
picture of Washington hung at the
right of the stage and a picture of
President Wilson to the left, while on
the table in the center of the stage
stood a handsome life-sized bronze
bust of Lincoln, loaned for the oc-
casion by the Elks.
v. L.. Ricketts, presided at the
meeting, which was opened promptly
at s o'clock with prayer by Rev. ].
B. Dermody, following a patriotic
medley by the Damon orchestra.
The prayer was followed by the
singing of America" in which the
audience Joined with patriotic spirit
and felsoI.
The program included the reading
of the declaration of independence
by Rev. Fred c. Thomson, the sing
ing of the Marseillaise by Mrs. Theo
and Miss De Termes, a patriotic adj
dress by Honorable Peter ]. Somers,

third di .lsions were led by bands.
The Red Cross division, led by the
Liberty float, was the prettiest part
of the procession and received the
loudost ard longest applause from
start to finish. The women were
dressed in white, carrying white
parasols and with red crosses on
the front of their shirt waists. There
were many handsome individual cos
tunes which contributed greatly to
the olo of the parade.
The French, Italian and Serbian
national colors were carried with
the stars and stripes at the head of
the respective divisions and the
French flag was in evidence in many
places throughout the procession. The
fraternal division was large and
stretched for many blocks. The di-
vision reserved for citizens march
ing as individuals was by far the
largest section of the parade and
every mine and business institution
in the town was represented in the
ranks.
A pleasing incident of the parade
occurred at Meyers and Columbia,
where the governor and his staff
had halted, when the official French
flag passed. The flag bore the
official mark, a silk tie, sent from
the French embassy to the Count De
Termes, and on turning the corner
the flag was saluted by order of
he adjutant. The count, himself an
officer of the French army. wore in
the parade the cross of the Legion of
Honor.
The absence of school children de-
tracted greatly from the length of
the parade, but people who had wit
messed ether parades held in Reno
and throughout the state remarked
that Goldfield's demonstration con-
tanned a larger number of adults
than any other parade held in the
state.
The parade was IL blocks in length
and when the head of it, after oun
termarching on Main street, reached
the corner of Columbia and Myers
streets, the ear was at Fifth avenue
and Crook street. 1t was necessary
for tho head OF the column to hall
while the rear ranks passed.

their readings would be superfluous
even if space permitted. The audi
ence gave them in each instance
higher testimony of grateful APP
probation than can be conveyed
here.
Judge Somers aroused the patrio-
tic fervor of the audience with an
impassioned address and in his per-
grafton he brought in imaginative
review before President Wilson the
spirits of Lafayette, Carl Schurz
and Franz Siegel to convey to the
present leader of this republic their
grateful acknowledgment of the SER
vice this country is now under
and those principles for which they
in their time had drawn the sword.
Lieutenant Governor Sullivan,
''our Maurice" was at home in
more ways than one, and the gen.
and spontaneous welcome he
received proved that he has a home
in the hearts of the people of Gold
field. His audience was not salts
fled with the very brief but elo-
quent tribute he paid to the flag
and the patriotism displayed in the
ceremonies of yesterday and the
meeting of last night but recalled
him to tell something of the work
he had been doing in the prelimin-
airy service of mobilization, which
lie uld in a concise and illuminativr
manner.
Governor BoyIe's Address
The address of Governor Boyle
was a forcible, instructive and in
telligent outline of the principal du-
ties that now lay directly before us.
Everybody listened, not only atten-
lively but intently, and if anybody
present entered the meeting with
any doubt as to the serious consi-
Iteration the people are giving to
the work in hand that doubt must
have been dispelled and it must
have also been dispelled in the mind
of the governor himself if he had
entertained it.
He repeatedly referred. and at
length, to the seriousness of the
situation that confronts the Ameri-
can people in aiding the allied ma
tions in bringing the war to a C
cessful conclusion and urged the
active and earnest participation of
Nevada in the great work to be
done. He stated that it was not the

preston to Sentiment Of Patriotism Now Pervading

Procession That Includes Nearly Whole Population

procession and largest turnout of
citizens eve witnessed in Goldfield,
and one of the largest ever seen in
the state, was held yesterday after
Don In an unmistakable manner
the entire county demonstrated its
devotion to country and it's loyalty
to the president. Tho demonstra-
ton was for a great purpose and it
was a great demonstration.
The parade represented the citi-
ship OF the entire county and every
one in Goldfeld and surrounding
towns either marched in it or was
among the cheering throng that
made the sidewalks along the line of
march impossible as the procession
moved through the streets.
All morning on roads into Gold
field, from all directions we're auto
mobiles carrying men, women and
children eager to take part in the
demonstration and long before the
hour of the start of the parade the
crowds began to fill the sidewalks
and secure advantageous points from
which to view it.
Tonopah sent one of the largest
delegations of it's citizens ever in
Goldfield to aid in a demonstration
Of any kind and the throngs of Wis
itors were swelled by large numbers
from other towns in Nye county.
Business Suspended
All business was suspended dur
ing the hours set apart for the great
manifestation of public sentiment
and the national emblem was every
where in evidence, flying from flag
poles and draped on business houses
and homes in the residence districts.

MANHATTAN Mining OPERATIONS
Said TO YIELD GOOD RESULTS

The sinking of the White Caps
company shaft from the fourth level
has been prosecuted during the past
week and a distance of % feet has
been made below the level. Due
to the violent electric storm which
caught the White Caps power line
and burned out some of the coils
in the hoist motor and one other
small motor. the mine work has
been delayed to a slight extent.
Luckily, the primary fuses and
circuit breakers recently installed
above the big transformers saved
them from short circuiting and pro-
badly saved more of the mine mo-
tors from injury. A new 75-h. p.
General Electric variable speed
motor for the hoist fortunately had
been ordered and had reached Man
haitian when the storm put the old
motor out of commission, so a delay
of only a day was experienced.
On the third level, the drift to
the east now shows heavy oxidiza-
ton. The west drift is still in the
fault plane. An average footage
has been made during the week,
about 50 feet added to each drift.
Temporarily the work in the west
drift has been discontinued as a
heavy flow of water, seepage from
the surface, has been encountered,
and it was thought best to allow
same to drain out before advancing
the drift.
The mill construction work is
nearing completion with the ex-
ception of the rooster. The struc-
tural work has been completed on
the rooster. The outside sleeve of
the center column is in place and
riviting same is now in progress.
1t is expected that the brick work
will commence next week.
The cyanide department of the
mill is now in a finished condition,
with piping and pumps all installed.
The new wagon road being built
by the White Caps company has
been completed from the mine to-

First Car Over Mountain

After spending six weeks in buck
ing snow drifts west of Myers sta
ton, the first automobile to pass
over the Placerville grade this year
has reached Carson. The road from
Myers station was found to be in
good condition and from Glenwood
the road is clear.

made by the Germans themselves.
The food situation in Germany,
though admittedly acute, is not in
so desperate a condition but that
it can be handled until the new har-
vest becomes available within about
sever weeks. 1t is not to be ex-
pected that the food shortage in
Germany will bring an early end
of the war. Neither is it certain
the internal disturbances in Ger
many will hasten the wars end.
German Strategy
at was impressed upon u.s." said
Governor Boyle, chat Germany
could just as easily have attacked
France directly instead of going
through Belgium, but that Belgium
was the second Industrial country
of the world-producing what Ger
many most needed. The same is
true with respect to the coal dis
tricts of France. Serbia was over
run because she had the supply of
copper so much needed by Germany.

of ROumania gave the Central
Powers great quantities of wheat,
and rich oil fields were secured in
the Balkans. In addition to the
territory that Germany has already
gained by the strategy of her gen
erals and the strength of her
armies she has secured the pro-
ducts. She has gained for herself
and at the same time taken from
her enemies. Thus, this extra bur
den of supplies for the allies has
been placed upon the United States.
Furthermore, in this connection it
may be noted that in spite of the
allied advance in the west, Germany
20 date has not given up one inch of
valuable territory. The war of attri-
ton going on in the west is not
enough of itself to bring about the
end of the war in many years"
The Liberty Loan
The governor said it was the
earnest desire of the president that
the liberty loan be greatly over
subscribed and that were it not it
would be a national calamity. The
moral effect in Germany of a great
oversubscription in the floating of
the loan will be of value and the
governor said every subscriber to
the loan would be performing a
patriotic service of inestimable value
to the country and that the oppor-
tunity of the people to aid in the
financing of the war should be
grasped as a patriotic duty. He ex-
planned that the loan is floated at
normal banking rates and that in
subscribing to it the individual is
not only benefitting his country, but
himself.
The governor spoke at length on
the organization of the Red Cross
and the Importance attached to it's
wartime activities by the heads Of
departments Of the government,
who, he said, had come to regard
it as a third branch of service, on
a par with the army and navy and
as much a part of the government
as either of them. He spoke of the
important duty of the Red Cross
now and the still more important
duties that will devolve upon it
later and urged recruiting until the
Red Cross shall have become a
large and well organized body, cap
able of coping with the great work
before it.
