Isadore Singer Proposes World
Holiday to Celebrate

Oscar s. Straus, chairman Of the
Public Service Commission. yesterday
made public a letter sent by him to
Sir Cecil Spring-Ricc. the British Am
bassador and Jules J. Jusserand. the
French Ambassador. in which he stated
that Jewish sentiment in the United
States is distinctly pro-Ally and not
pro German.
The letter. said Mr.. Straus. was in
tended to correct the general impress
sion that many American Jews have
cast their sympathies with the Central
Powers in the present war.
at is true enough that many Jews
in America indeed, many non-Jews -
have found in their traditional hatred
Of Russian despotism and oppression
an obstacle to aligning themselves on
the side of the Allies, while others have
had their sympathies determined by
the sentiment of attachment 70 their
German Fatherland.
"Tn spite of them. the sentiment or
the representative Jews OF this coun-
try, with extremely rare exceptions,
has from the outset been oyerwhelm-
ingly pro-Ally. ..
Nov that the magnificent uprising
of democracy in Russia appears TO nave
opened a new and glorious future for
that country, with equal rights Tor the
oppressed nationalities. Jewish senu,
ment in America in favor OF the Allled
cause may be safely counted to become
almost unanimous.

friends OF the Jewish faith IN TINS

A British aviation officer, who did
air service in East Africa, included in
one of his reports a graphic description
of an immense valley filled with the
huge arum lilies. owe which he flew
somewhere in the region of Zanzibar.
AS he passed over the valley he was
5000 feet high, but the perfume of the
lilies reached his nostrils for Il long
distance.
BY means of his glasses he observed
that the lily flowers were "as large as
elephants ears" and that the whole OF
the valley had been monopolized by
the beautiful flowers. The luNuriance
of the vegetation was particularly re-
m|arkable. He learned later that the
scent of the flowers was so overpower-
ing in the valley that no native had
ever dared to penetrate within its bor-
derS.

LESSEES SHIPPING
ON HILLTOP CLAIM
PRODUCT YIELDING GOOD PRO-
FIT TO SEND TO
SHELTER

George K~nezevich, a co-leaser
with Dan Summin and E. o. Swack-
hammer on a portion of the Gray
Eagle mine at Hilltop, paid Battle
Mountain a visit on Tuesday.
For the past Is months these
lessees have been doing extensive
work on the property and are
among the best shippers from the
district. Ore taken from this side
of the hill has been hauled into
Battle Mountain and in the past
month two cars have been ship
ped from here to the Union Smell
ter, Midwife, Utah. During the
first part of next week teams will
begin hauling the ore extracted
from the tunnel on the other side
of the mountain and these men will
ship from this portion of their
lease via Beowawe to the smelter
in Utah. Two cars will be shipped
from the Beowawe end.
The ore carries gold, silver and
lead, the silver predominating.
While following the main vein a
slight cave occurred and shipping
will be retarded for a short time
until the obstruction is cleared

by the West End Consolidated Min
ing company from it's mill at Tono-
pah, resulting from the ~bi-weekly
cleanup for the month of July. The
shipment consisted of % bars, hay
ing a total weight of 46.76S ounces,
which. at the prevailing prices for
silver, are considered to have a val
uation of about $1.05 each.
At this rate, the consignment to
the smelters made during the week
S worth approximately ~$49.106.40
How we'll the Jim Butler mine is
maintaining its record of production
is eXemplified by the statement of
the company, Just issued, regarding
the net earnings for the month of
June. The profits of the company
for hat month amounted to $780,
1863. resulting from the treatment
at the Belmont Milling company at
Millers of 1925 tons of ore.
A strike of considerable import
ance occurred in the 90S South
crosscut off the 1925 raise of the
Misunderstanding mine this week.
This cross-cut was begun for the
purpose of cutting the downward e
tension of the shoot developed on
the $50 level and its distance was
estimated to be 40 feet. However,
at a distance of 10 feet 20 inches OF
very good ore was encountered,
whereupon the management discon-
tinued the cross-cut and began drift
ing. The ore maintained an aver
age width of from 16 to 20 inches
until a distance of SIS feet was had
when the vein widened to over four
feet.-Tonopah Miner.

BURNING Up Wealth.

Who can tell how extensively III
p~reventable fires count i'll the cost OF
living? In the United States there Is
a fire for every minute Of the year.
The daily destruction of S6O0.0G0 means
an economic drain that affects all bust

a grain elevator burns. with n loss of
100000 bushels of corn and 100000
bushels of oats. or Il fire in Il storage

of potatoes, it is easy to see what it
means. But every fire affects the cost

ENRAGED MINER
MURDERED BECK
AUSTRIAN WHO HAD BEEN DIS
MISSED ASSAULTED NINE
MANAGER

Mrs. l.. f. Beck has returned
from Ray, Ariz., where she was
called by the fatal injury Of her
husband.
Beck was assaulted by an enrag-
ed Austrian miner whom he was
obliged to discharge from work.
The man was discharged in the
mine on the night shift and when
the men came off shift about 1880
a.. m. and were at the office,
this man ran up behind Beck and
struck him a terrific blow on the
back of the head with a heavy
miners lamp, crushing his skull.
Everything possible was done
for Beck, but he died about 10
hours later, never having regain
ed consciousness.
The assault was so sudden and
so unexpected that the men who
witnessed it were stunned and so
shocked that the murderer made
his escape. He was quickly cap
tured, however. and was rushed
to the state ~penitentiary in Flor
ence by the sheriff, where he is
now confined.
The killing was pronounced a
most brutal crime as Beck was
simply doing his duty. Beck was
buried in the beautiful Greenwood
cemetery, in Phoenix.
The Ray Consolidated Copper
company, by whom Mr.. Beck was
employed, rendered every assis-
lance possible to Mrs. Beck and
showed her every kindness and con-
sideration in their power.

A Life P~reserver of Sheet Metal.

Metal swimming plates have made
their appearance in the field of life
p~reservers. They consist of metal
parts put together just like two tin
pie plates soldered with their faces
joining, allowing the space between
them as a dead air chamber, says he
Popular Science Monthly. The ad-
vantage of these plates lies in the fact
that they will not rot or crumble like
a cork life preserver. n properly ap-
piled paint prevents rusting, and they
are always ready for use. They do not
have to be inflated like the water
wings which are used by some swim
mers. There is no danger of leaks
or p%unctureS. and the total weight OF
the appliance is about three pounds.
The plates are not uncomfortable to
wear, and they allow a free arm move
meLt to the swimmer. Three or the
plates are joined together with Il web
band having a shoulder strap which
buckles about the body under the arms,
with two plates on the back and one
on the chest. Small wire loops make

RECKLESS SHOOTING
ACCOUNTS FOR MULE

A man named Bailey who works

team of mules that he keeps in a
stable on South Sundog and when
he returned from work on Sunda-
night, found that one of the mules
had been shot. A bullet from a
high-power rifle had passed through
the animals body, and while it il
still alive, Bailey does not believe
he will be able to save it. The bull
let that hit the mule passed through
a wall of the barn and is thought
to have come from the gun of a
careless shooter.

DRAWING
GOLDFIELD MEN WHO ARE
DRAWN ARE READY TO
RESPOND

Edward Scratching, colored boot.
black in the Goldfie1d hotel bar
Der shop, was seated this morning
at the top of the steps leading in
to the shop. The sun was hot and
Scratching was in the shade and
was half asleep.
Suddenly he was aroused by
omeone calling him from across
the street and he saw a crowd in
front of the Tribune bulletin board.
Mike Catalan summoned him TO
come over and see what was on the
board.
He crossed the street, still in a
doze, thinking that nothing short
of the end of the wal would cause
such excitement, and looked at the
board. He saw "258-Edward
Scratching" and shouted, 81 knew
it, l knew it last night" He said
he had a bunch and that while he
had been in many a lottery, he
had never won one until his Uncle
Sam came to his rescue and put
him at the top of the Goldfield list
of men for the draft with the first
number drawn by Secretary Baker
at Washington.
His colored friends gathered
round and congratulated him and
explained just exactly when and
where the Germans would shoot
him and for some time he was a
busy boy.
AS it in some way zane to the
names were on the bulletin board,
in every instance they had some
quick witted remark to make. A
characteristic one is hat made by
Jack Stackpoole, among the first
drawn. He asked if it was true
that he had been drawn and when
informed that it was a fact said,
well, all l have to say is that
Uncle Sam will get a damn good
little man. They must be picking
them"
Never except at the start of the
war and for world series baseball
games has such interest been taken
in bulletins as was aroused by the
draft results this morning and the
news was taken more good-natured-
ly than were ever the ~inning-by-
inning results of a big ball game.
The numbers hit in all directions
and young men in all walks of life
saw their names posted. AS the
name of one Ia went up, one Of
his friends said, And he just
bought an automobile" The man
is believed to be eligible in every
way and it is possible the new car
can be purchased at a bargain.
Uncle Sam was fooled in several
instances, as some numbers he
drew represented men who have
enlisted since registration day and
are already in training at coast
stations.
