duction of your company was $5O1,-
GALA, resulting from the treat
ment of 1920 tons of ore. The
gross profit for the year was ST.
OO5.69. Interest on indebtedness to
the amount of $~31,224.40 was paid.
The net operating profit for the year
was $39,781.29.
"An advance of 1928 feet of de-
velopment work was made within
the year at a cost of 1892 per foot.
"The Indebtedness of your COM
pany, which at the beginning of
the year was 100000, has been
reduced within the year to $35S,7OO.
In February the condition of the
batteries in your milling plant be-
came so bad it was necessary to sus-
pend operations for a period of forty
DAYS while new foundations were
being set. Since this change the
property has operated at maximum
capacity and with very excellent
costs.
"~$27,162.47 was expended upon
development work, which resulted
in an advance of 342S feet, divided
as follows: Drifts and crosscuts,
1857 feet; raises, 1741 feet. This
is equivalent to n foot of de-
velopment work for each sos tons
Mined.
Conditions Satisfactory
While the production of the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company
fell short of 1915 by 1,105,574.26,
there seems to be no reason for
alarm. 1t became necessary to per-
form a vast amount of dead work
from which only small returns, If
any, could be expected. Labor con-
ditions were somewhat different
than previously. Wages were n
siderably higher and operating ex-
penses we're minimized to as large
an extent as possible.
Through the leasing system re-
Gently inaugurated it is only reason
able to presume hat the output will
be materially augmented during the
present year, and by operating the
1otation plant partially on custom
ore the receipts should be increased
to a marked extent.
All things considered. the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company
made a splendid record under ad
verse conditions. While no divi
dends were paid during 1916. the
treasury Of the company was greatly
enhanced, and the company is IL
condition financially to carry to {
successful termination any plan
that have been, or may be, In tn
future formulated.

ABERNATHY-MlDDLEToN WE'D
nIMG

One of the delightful surprises of
the season was the marriage Thurs
day evening at o'clock of Miss Grace
Middleton, one of Kansas City's sweet
est and most popular girls, to Lieu
tenant Joseph j. Abernathy of San
Antonio, Texas, one of the newly COM
missioned officers at Des Moines, la.
home of the brides aunt and uncle,
Mr.. and Mrs. D. A. Willis, 2610 High
land avenue, and Rev. DR.. VIM. H.
Thomas performed the beautiful and
impressive ring ceremony of his
church. Only intimate friends and
beautiful and useful presents were re-
ceived.
A romantic touch to this wedding
was that Mr.. and Mrs. Abernathy were
students in 1913-14-15 at the Agricul-
tural College in Manhattan, Kans.,
where they became sweethearts.
The bride was reared by her aunt
and uncle who dearly love her and has
had all the opportunity possible to de-
velop into the splendid girl she is.
She wore a gown of Georgette crepe
and crepe meteor with gloves and Slip
pers to match and carried bouquet
of white roses tied with the national
colors-red, white and blue--while the
groom wore the full dress uniform of
lieutenant in thte United States army.
The bridesmaid was Miss Claudia
Quarles and the best man, Mr.. ]. H.
Smith.
The happy couple will live tempor-
arily at Camp Funston where the
groom is assigned for duty.

1900 NEGRO SOLDIERS WILL BE
SENT TO CAMP FUNSTON NEXT
WEEK FOR MILITARY
TRAINING.
Major General Leonard Wood and His
Staff Need the Assistance of All
Negroes, and Especially Negro
Business Men of the Seven
States From Whence
Come These
Soldiers.

Mr. Fortune j., Weaver, Kansas
City's pioneer Negro business man,
member of the executive committee
of the National Negro Business
League, on last Tuesday made a visit
to Major General Woods quarters at
Camp Funston to offer the services
of his Automobile Training School for
the purpose OF giving the Negro SOL
diers an opportunity to get into the
mechanical department of the army.
He was met by Captain H. S. Howland,
assistant chief of General Woods
staff. After talking the matter over,
Captain Howland was very frank and
told Mr.. Weaver that the most i'm
portant problem that was confronting
them at the present time was the ar
ranging of an amusement center where
the Negro soldiers may find recrea-
tion and entertainment without mo-
lestation or discrimination of any sort.
There should also be cafes, apart
ments, general stores and shops of all
kinds where the wives and friends of
the Negro officers and soldiers may
find quarters and accommodation.
Mr.. Howland arranged a meeting for
Mr.. Weaver at the Central National
Bank at Junction City, where he met
members of the War Department Com
mission on Training Camp Activities,
also some of the bankers and business
men. Mr.. Weaver told the committee
| that his plan would be to let the Negro
business men take full charge of this
community center and operate all of
! the business enterprises. In this way
race friction would be averted and
they could make the boys feel at home
in way that no one else could. A
meeting of business men and others
who are interested in the welfare of
the race will be held at the Paseo Y.

OUR QUEST FOR LIBERTY HAS
NEVER BEEN REALlZED-WE
WERE TOLD THAT WE WERE
TOO IGNORANT.
WHEN SOME DID BECOME EDUcA
TED THEY USED FORCE TO
KEEP THEM BACK.
Real unaduIterated Liberty Can Only
Come to the Race Through a
Powerful Working Glass
Organization.
By Rucker Smith.


The American Colored man en-
braced freedom with great hope; he
started on his journey, although he
had nothing but his two hands, very
jubilant. The main object we have
striven for Is still far, far away-Un-
restricted Citizenship. We were told
by the powers that be, you are not
yet fit for these blessings, you are
too ignorant. Sad wasn't it, when we
know that it was he who kept us ig-
norant? After one takes it under con-
sideration how we happened to be
here, what we were used for during
a period of $50 years, and the general
attitude of the white race the world
over towards darker races, surely we
could not hope for equal chances with
a race, whose literature is filled with
the most drastic determination to
keep the race pure white. They boast
of no mixture of blood with any dark
race, except the American Indian, and
he has become almost extinct. Per-
sonally, l have no malice against the
white man; the only reason l have
for writing these facts is to prove the
contention that we as a race cannot
get, now matter how honest, intelli-
gent or Industrious, real, unadultera-

THE PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP.

One week has now passed since we
announced our handling of raincoats,
cravenettes and gaberdines for men,
women and children, and the interest
shown by the public in taking advan-
tage of our offer to save money by
making trip to our place is certain
evidence of the fact that the Negro
is waking up, He is acting in time,
he is not waiting for the cold blasts
of winter and the high prices of hard
times to catch him unprepared. sAt
this time we are emphasizing our in
vitation to the public to give us an
immediate call, save money and take
your choice of the biggest line of rain
coats of all kinds in the city.

YATES BRANCH Y. W. C. A. MEN,
BERSHIP CAMPAIGN.

The ladies of Kansas City, Kansas.
have launched a membership cam
paign for renewals and new members
of the Yates Branch Young Women's
Christian Association at 9th street and
Nebraska avenue. The fee is only
one dollar per year, and already many
have paid in this amount.
1t is expected that this campaign
will net more members than ever be-
fore, and much enthusiasm is being
exhibited. The executive committee
is working as one to do all in it's
power to make the coming year one
of magnificent benefit to that city
and to her girls.
The new president of the committee,
Mrs. E. r. Vaughan, is well known,
having been engaged in club work in
both cities for a number of years, and
although now the head of several other
organizations in the two Kansas Cities,
she is bending every effort to make
this work grand success.
In the last month the committee
has done much Improvement at the
"Y," and plans are now being per-
fected for complete transformation
of this much needed and greatly bene-
ficial institution, and this appeal is
made to everybody to lend helping
hand that the fruit of all these ef-
forts be fully materialized.

Looks Now as If They Would Exceed
Their Goal of 100000.
The Negro Liberty Bond Committee
at Eighteenth street and Paseo re-
ported last night total of subscrip-
tions to date. After an address to
Negroes by Nelson Crews at the Cuda-
by packing plant yesterday $3,5O0 was
subscribed. Dr.. w. ]. Thompkins, who
talked to Negroes at the Santa Fe
freight house, obtained $1,000 addi-
tional.
Mount Dread Lodge, an organiza-
ton of Negro Masons, subscribed ST.
900 to the Liberty Loan.
The Negro Parent-Teacher Associa-
tion, which met Tuesday night at Lin
coin High School, reported subscrip-
tions of 81, 400 from that organization
with the promise of more. The Ne
groes have set 100000 as their goal
and if the work of yesterday is kept
up they will do better than that.
One Negro woman from Westport
sent in her savings of $3.50 with the re-
quest that she be given five registered
$50 bonds. Negro employees of the Ar
mour plant alone have subscribed
$715O. Following a noon meeting at
the Fowler packing plant Wednesday
which was addressed by Nelson
Crews and CHI. Galloway, Negro wo-
men workers went among the men and
obtained $1,000 in subscriptions and
were told to return Saturday and more
would be added Negro walters at
Johnston's cafe helped to swell the to-
tai yesterday by subscriptions amount
ing to $1,000.

PRAYER OF THE NEGRO SOLDIER.
By Roscoe c. Jamison,


In future years, when men shall tell
OF valiant deeds mid stress and fire;
How they swept on when comrades fell,
When Home ward they shall march again
from hard fought field, and from the
sea,
And Music swells a grander strain
o God, grant Thou this boon to me:
That may join in that high speech,
Telling the wonders of the fight;
How that l too, did help to teach
That Truth must triumph over Might.
On that great day point me place
Among the heroes of the line.
That | may bring my waiting race
Bright jewels, on each brow to shine.
Unfettered, and a man at last,
Grant me to walk amid the throng,
Unburdened by shame-filled past,
To sing the new-writ freedom song.
Let those who hear my story told
And see the scars-the dented blade,
Know that the hated things of old
VIII rise no more to make afraid.
Let Prejudice, and Greed and all
The blight of hope, I've known before,
Be banshed with a Despot's fall
Let Valor find an Open Door.
God give me power to do my part.
Help me perform the deathless deed.
Gird me with strength, set firm my heart
In this dread hour the call to heed.
And if I be not there to tread
The Victors way with glory drest
Somewhere among the silent dead
Where ragged the battle, let me rest!
