To Attack Indeterminate Sentence

A report is going the rounds of
the legal fraternity that the Ne
vada law providing for the indeter-
inmate sentence Of lawbreakers to
the state prison is to be attacked
and if possible wiped from the sta
tute books. 1t is said that some
son employed a Los Angeles attor-
ney. who told them the law was
unconstitutional and agreed to take
the matter into court and bring it
to Il successful conclusion. The at
torney contends that when a con
yjot has served his minimum time
and has a clear record he is eligi-
bic for discharge.

LARGER EQUIPMENT WILL BE
INSTALLED AT COPPER
PROPERTY

Since President Todd's return
from the east a large force of men
have been at work on the ground
of the Luning-Idaho Mining COM
pany under the direction of him
self and son, Robt. B. Todd, Jr.
The property is being equipped
with up-to-date machinery, con-
sisting of two Fairbanks-Morse
hoists, air compressor and drills,
as well as necessary timber for
gallows frame, mine timbers and
lumber for increasing camp facili-
ties. One hoist has been installed
on the McDavitt shaft and a drift
is being u on oxide ore which is
now in about so feet.
The Hahn tunnel is being driven
toward the hanging wall side of
the m~ineralized zone and is % in
about 700 feet and from present
appearances they are very near the
granite contact and sulph.de ore is
coming is now in the boti ON of the
tunnel. They are aIso running for
the foot-wall side of the mineralized
zone about 500 feet from the mouth
of the tunnel which is now in about
60 feet. All this work is being
pushed as fast as possible to enable
the management to decide on the
proper place for sinking the work.

1t is the purpose of the company
to install the large hoist on this
shaft and with the compressor and
machine drills, sink at least 500
feet before prosecuting the min
eralized zone. This will undoubt-
ediv place them in a position for a
production, and of a high grade

pushed to the utmost
Recently several new discoveries
have been made on the property in
.hc Hahn tunnel and about 1000
feet from this point a cut has been
run some so feet all in oxide ore,
carrying values as high as eight
per cen copper with good values
in silver. This is neal the granite
contact, but they have not reached
it as yet where much better values
are expected. One thousand feet
beyond this point, men are now
which has not yet been determined
hut the ore carries about 6 per
CEN copper as well as from So to
$50 ounces in silver.
These recent discoveries add i'm
mensely to the value of the prop
erty as well as indicating the per-
manency of the ledge; also, that
when the Hahn tunnel reaches the
contact, high silver values can be
expected as we'll as the copper con-
tanned in the sulphide ore at that
point. The tunnel is nov in about
700 feet and proves the mineral
lied zone to be at least 700 or 500
feet wide instead of about 800 feet
as appeared on the surface.
John A. Bradley of Bradley
Brothers, New York brokers for

here and made a careful examina-
ton of the property. He is very
enthusiastic over the outlook and
returns east with a complete and
encouraging report to the eastern
sto J. t'ters Mr.. Bradley reports
that eastern financial conditions
are improving rapidly and he looks
for a greater interest to be taken
in mining and metal securities than
ever before. Other mines at Lun-

BREAK WITH AUSTRIA
NOW APPEARS CERTAIN

Washington. April A break In
diplomatic relations between the
United States and Austria was re-
garded as certain tonight. State de-
partment officials were reticent on
the subject, refusing to discuss the
Austrian situation in any way.
At the Austrian embassy Count
Tarnowski, the Austrian ambassador
designate, remained in seclusion and
embassy attaches said no one there
could speak for him.
No surprise was caused in official
Washington, however, over reports
from The Hague that Count Tarnow-
ski soon would be handed his pass
ports. 1t was recalled that the presi-
dent in his address to congress Mon
day night made it plain that the Aus
trian situation was far from salts
factory to this government.

WHEN THE WAR WILL END

Those people who take astrology ST.
riously and who love and fear the
prophecies of astrologists will be In
terested in an old astronomical proph-
ecy of the seventeenth century regard
ing the present great war. 1t is puo-
lished by The Indianapolis News ac-.
cording to this prediction the war Will
end August %, 1917.
The Revue de Ciel states that a
manuscript written in the seventeenth
century is now in the possession OF
Chevalier Monti, director of the CIVIC
museum at Como. The following is
translation of this instrument:
when the first number shall meet
the ninth and when they two shall be
united with the first and the sixth
(1916), during the sixth month OF the
year august according to the old cal
endar), and after two times four and
two times ten days shall have passed
august 2S) and the new races which
draw their name from Romulus (Rou-
mania) shall rise and shall ally them
selves with powerful nations. Then
the fierce beast who for two years ana
one month (exact date of the begin
ming of the war; has been filling all
the earth with blood, with horror ana
with carnage, now surrounded, smll-
ten from all sides and roaring IN vain,
will seek whom he may devour, out
shall not find him. There shall be new
battles, while new moons snail wax
and wane thirteen times. Tne
fifth day after the sun leaves the sigh
of the lion the beast shall die OF q
fearful death. A virgin whose name
contains two iotas, two alphas, a tau
and lambda Qtalia) shall crush his
head and the Latin peoples shall share
his spoils.''
A good half of the prediction is al
ready accomplished; we shall see II
the remainder will conform to the be-
ginning. The article continues:
"The 2Sth of August, 1916, was ne"
moon, and the thirteenth thereafter
falls on August II, 1917. So when
thirteen new moons have set, we shall
be at the 18th of August of this year.
The war would end then in the moon
which extends from the 18th of Au-
gust to the 18th of September, 1917.
At what date? That point the second
part of the prophecy determines.
"The sun this year leaves the sign
of the Lion on August %, the NTH
day thereafter brings US to the 18th
of the same month. That is, accord
ing to the author, the day which is to
mark the end of the war, and 1t is al
least curious to note that a scholar
living three or four centuries ago. has
been able thus to determine two as
Economical circumstances. Events VIII
tell us whether the prophet was right
and whether really the present war
will come to an end on 2Sth OF Au-
gust of this year"
