NEvADA's MINERAL PRODUCTION

Gold, silver, copper, tungsten, lead, zinc-name almost any
metal YOU will and it is to be found in Nevada. During the
past several years the mineral wealth of the state has been de-
vloped along constantly broadening lines, new camps spring
ing into existence and old camps producing ore with renewed
VigOr.
Tonopah mines, now in prime condition, are outputing a
record quantity of silver, which, at prevailing prices, is netting
highly satisfactory profits. Manhattan, awakening from a long
mineral center. With all of the prospecting that is progressing
in this camp, additional White Caps may be brought into be-
ing. Rochester, too, is coming to the front, having uncovered
impressive bodies of high class ore, and making a showing
that is distinctly gratifying to the operators of the district.
Rand, also, has commercial ore, and a heavy tonnage from the
camp is in order during the coming summer. GOldfield, after
years of splendid effort, has surmounted many handicaps and
seemingly is about to reap its reward i'll a financial way.
Properties in the district that have long lain idle because of the
low-grade or complex qulaity of their product are being re
opened and their ores treated at a profit by the Goldield Con
solidated flotaion plant. New companies, further, have organ
lied to exploit virgin claims and this year will witness greatly
increased mining operations in the famous camp.
Reno, the headquarters for many old-time companies, as
we'll as newer promotions, is feeling the effects Of the prevail
ing activity and will secure its due share Of mining profits
And from Virginia City comes word that in he noted Comstock
district a large body of high grade ore has been opened that
promises to produce many millions i'll new wealth.
Besides the camps mentioned, various other localities are
making steady gains in mining, gradually developing as their
bigger rivals once developed, and climbing toward eminence
as producers.
Large areas of Nevada are heavily mineralzed; and the
prospecting SO far conducted has disclosed only a palry per.
centage Of the vast riches that await discovery and a conversion
into money. The future for the mining industry in the state
appears most promising-Daily Mining Record.

WHOSE WAR?

Once a week, or oftener, certain pro-German papers prih'eo
in the English language, try to help the kaiser by printing SUM
article or story tending to discourage enlistments In N Aheri
can army and navy. The favorite plan is to attempt 10 create
prejudice against one of our allies, England. The latest OF
these seditious appeals is a call to oppose sending American
boys across the sea to be sacrificed for Englands cause; te
excuse being that half a million English slackers, alleged o d e
living in the United States, should first be rounded up ana pun
i'm the trenches.
We are not fighting "for Englands cause, but for our own
and for freedoms sake. If it were for England we should moi
be at war. Germany made war on us for two years 10 me
full limit of her power and ordered us off the high seas after
receiving many warnings and protests from Washington. Ihe
United States is now fighting as an ally OF the British empire
and other powers at war with Germany because there is no
other way to defend ourselves and redress intolerable wrongs.
AS our laws stand, neither our government nor that OF
Great Britain has the power to force British or other aliens 10
serve in either army. Before we entered the war British re-
cruiting officers could not work in this country. Our govern
ment has permitted them to do so since we became involved,
but that is as far as it can go until congress, and perhaps the
state legislatures, can enact measures enabling foreign govern
ments to force their citizens in this country to serve in their
armies, if such laws would be constitutional, of which there
is some doubt.
This clap-trap about keeping American soldiers at home
until English slackers go to the front is nothing but pro-German
propaganda. We must fight even if the British empire quits,
and what our allies do or fail to do has no bearing on our mani
fest duty. Some men leave their wives and children to starve
who would impose upon the public the support of their depend
ent relatives.
AS for the facts. The British government has opened head
quarters in New York City and is establishing recruiting sta
tons throughout the country. The officer in charge Of the
work has declared that every able-bodied subject of Great
Britain between eighteen and forty-five years of age at present
resident in the United States must fight. He is now at Wash
ington to consult the federal authorities regarding the legal
and legislative aspects Of the case. British citizens of military
age now in this country are enlistng in large numbers, and
every one of them who can be located will be called to the
colors. That is all the British government can do at present.

PRODUCTION OF GOLD is NECESSARY

The United States stands financially supreme in the world
today, and it is now the definitely stated policy of the admin
istration to endeavor to keep it permanently in that position.
In furtherance of this there will be, according to present plans

the gold supply in this country. A heavy outflow of the metal
IS predicted i'll some quarters afte" the coming of peace
Measures and practices of one kind and anolh"! will be formr-
lated to limit this outflow, but there is at least one line Of
action along which this country should work at once in prep
aratlon for both the near and far future. That is the produc-
ton Of gold. The yellow metal has the advantage over all
other minerals in that its value is fixed from the fact that it
is the standard of all values. A speeding-up of gold produc-
ton N this country will increase our wealth and fortify our
financial position in il way that is tangible and can be def
nitely measured.
Few people realize what the production of gold i'm The
United States has done for the country. It's discovery in Cali.
fornIa and its subsequent production in the far west made pos.

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT

Herbert Hoover, the presidents food controller, has been
requested by him not to wait for action by congress, but to 60
ahead with his work as rapidly as possible. Mr.. Hoover is de
voting himself to his work just as he did in Belgium before the
Germans expelled him, and he proposes to lay before the peo-
pie of this country his plan of conserving the food supply of the
United States so that there may be enough for all and gener
Gus provision for our allies in Europe. He requests every
clergyman in the country to preach upon the subject of food
conservation on Sunday, July first, and his slogan is Save thu
waste and win the war"
No matter what congress or the federal government NAV
do, the success of any such plans depends upon the American
people themselves. The prospects for a generous harvest have
greatly improved in the last few days and there is little doubt
that we shall have enough if we handle the edible supply
wisely. The initial appeal in this campaign will be made to
the women of The country, who, literally, can save enough in
their kitchens to win the war.

LABOR'S DEBT TO LABOR

TO satisfy the judgment awarding damages of about a quar-
ter of a million dollars to the employers in the Danbury Eatters
case, the houses of the union workmen who struck and CON
splred to prevent the sale of their former employers merchaI
disc are to be sold at auction. The Danbury local union fought
this test case after the members had been assured by most of
the trade unions of the country tina. they would be Unidentified
if they lost and had to pay.
Union labor seems to have abandoned them to their fate
although contributions were solicited and at least $l5OOOO was
collected, according to statements made by prominent labor
leaders. If these Danbury hatters lose their homes, their de-
sertiOn by other labor unionists will be the meanest episode in
this or any other country. Union labor began by trampling on
the natural rights of free labor and now disregards the debts of
honor it owes to fellow unionists who fought and lost in its be-
half-EXchange.

KAISER TAKES
ALTBERTY BOND
Hohenzollern Subscription
Not Known at Potsdam.
Trustee Buys 1t
THALERS IN WAR LOAN

The German Government has bought
Liberty Bond, but the Imperial rulers are
not aware Of the fact In addition TO this
strange development today, just about
$4,000 Of German money has been eX-
pended in Uncle Sans bonds.
Gustavus Remak, Jr, $50 Bullitt Build
ing, is trustee for several estates in this
country which were left to people living in
Germany. When war was declared between
the United States and Germany he had
S10,0 900 in such estates on his hands. Under
the conditions Mr.. Remak could not send
the money to Germany. He did the next
best thing by investing the cash in Liberty
Bonds for the German benefciares.
OF the sum mentioned, $50 was due the
German Government, for II appears that
under the law all Germans who inherit
money from relatives in other countries are
obliged to pay a tax to the Imperial Gov
ernment.
SO instead of going for German war bonds
this good German money drops into the
treasury of Uncle Sam.
Mr.. Remak advises all attorneys hold
| ing funds for aliens to follow his example
and invest It in Liberty Bonds. If they do
| not adopt this plan he points out that the
| United states Government will get 1t any
| how under the alien proptrty law.
It is said that number Of attorneys OF
| Philadelphia have taken steps along the
| same line, and II is very probable that many
! thousands Of dollars Of German money will
go for Liberty Bonds. The German resi-.
| dents will get the interest when the bond,
| mature which will be long after Uncle Sam
| has won the war.
