or before that date, according to the
official statement of terms and condi-
tions of the sale of Liberay Loan
Bonds. issued by Secretary McAdoo of
the Treasury at the time subscriptions
to the bonds were invited. Whether
the bonds were purchased from the
Treasury of from Federal Reserve
banks or agencies. it is important that
this and succeeding installments be
paid promptly.

MANSON BELIEVES SILVER WILL
REACH 81; MARKET UNSETTLED

"The metal markets in the East are
so unsettled that it is hard to find out
anything definite in regard to any OF
the metals" said Frank M. Mason,
manager of the Western Ore Purchas-
ing Company, to the Reno Gazette.
Manson returned Saturday from New
York city, where he had spent several
days. Continuing, he added:
"All seem to think, as l do, that
silver is going higher, possibly to a
dollar. The copper market is very
uncertain. I understand the govern
ment has let contracts for large
tonnage of copper and will pay 25
cents or better for the product. The
cost of production has increased so
much that it's hard to tell how the
government purchasing will affect the
industry. At 20 cents many small
producers would be forced to close
down, but at higher prices it might
help the situation. OF course, busi-
ness is good all over the East in all
lines of industry, but it is no better
than in Nevada"

GOLD
NOW PURCHASED

Because of the extreme rise in the
price of silver, Director of the Mint
Baker has authorized the mints at
New Orleans and Carson City, New,
and the assay Offices at New York.
Salt Lake City, Seattle, Helena, Boise
City and Deadwood to purchase gold
bullion hereafter on a basis of fine-
ness, disregarding the previous regu-
lations under which bullion was pur-
chased on the basis of the value of
its silver content.
Bullion containing not less than one
part of gold may be purchased under
the new regulations. Heretofore only
bullion containing at least ten times
in gold the value of the silver con-
tent has been purchased.
The rise in the price of silver from
81 to S27s cents per fine ounce since
the war started has resulted in the
rejection of a considerable quantity
of ore containing gold because the
value of the gold was not ten times
as great as the value of the silver at
its high market price.
This situation will be corrected aud
the low-grade gold bullion will be
purchased under the new regulations.
The old regulations had been in effect
more than forty-four years.

GOVERNMENT is OFFERING
NO PREMIUMS ON POTASH

The government has offered no re-
ward to the discoverer of deposits of
soluble potash. says the United States
Geological Survey Bulletin. When it
is realized that soluble potash is now
selling in the United States for ten
times the price asked for it before
the outbreak of the European war,
and that no more than one-twentietn
of the amount commonly used before
the war is now produced in this coun-
try. it will be seen that the govern
ment has no need to offer reward
The discovery of commercial amounts
of soluble potash is its own reward.

4Present Funds Wholly Inadequate"

WASHINGTON. August H. The
immediate authorization by Congress of
new bond issues for three or four bill
lion dollars. to provide loans for the
Allies, has been approved by Secre-
tary McAdoo, Kitchin and Simmons.
McAdoo declares the demands of the

to meet the situation. The new loans
should be sufficient until July 1913,

The Pope Again Attemps Intervention

Pope has addressed proposals to all
belligerent nations, including the
United States, in an effort to secure
an early peace. Secretary Lansing
said this morning he does not know
what action, if any will be taken re-

the Allies will be likely to exchange
views before replying.
1t is understood that the plan Of
the Vatican provides for the restora-
ton of Belgium and Serbia, and the
independence of Poland. The Alsace-
Lorraine question is admitted to be a
difficult one. Italys claims are said
to be held open.
