TAKE OUT ENOUGH ORE
TO PAY FOR FOUNDATION
RICH LEAD UNCOVERED ExcA.
WAITING FOR Y. M. c. A.
BUILDING.

The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton received another boost recently.
In excavating for the foundation OF
the building, the Macmillan vein of
the Davis DAILY company was encoun-
tered and the proceeds from the ore
that can be taken out from 1t will go
long way toward paying for the ex-
cavation work. Robert Metcalf, the
contractor, as soon as the vein was
encountered, had his men put the ore
aside and separate from the dirt taken
out, says the Anaconda Standard. The
vein was found to have width of 15
feet and extended across the lot The
ore was in pockets to some extent, but
an average sample was taken and sent
to the assayers who returned the fol-
lowing results:
Worth 81 Per Ton.
Gold, Z of an ounce per ton or $14
in gold to the ton. Silver, BAG ounces
At the present price Of silver, this
would net $27 per ton in silver max
ing the total value of the gold and sill
yer Sal per ton. Some so tons Of the
ore has been taken out so far and just
how much more there will be has not
been determined. The so TONS should
the assay values keep up, give gross
return Of about $4,000, from which, OF
course, must be deducted the costs OF
transportation, smelling charges, etc.
1.-The ore encountered in the excava-
ton for the Y. M. C. A. foundation,
said w. L.sCreden, general manager OF
the Davis DAILY company, last night
lis the surface showing on our Maxi
MILAN vein. We knew about this, in
fact, had the facts concerning it fol-
the past three years, but we have
never attempted to tap the vein, as
the development work is not that fal
west
May Mine so Feet Deep.
II told the architect and Eugene
Carroll what they might expect tc
find. OF course, as far as we are con-
cerned, we have no claim for the dis
lance of so feet from the surface, but
my understanding is that the former
owners and the contractor and every
one concerned is glad to have the Y
M. c.. A. get the full benefit of any
ore that may be there"
It may prove profitable for the Y. M
c. A. to sink its foundations another
or 10 feet in order to get additional
ore as it might pay not only the cost
OF excavating. but leave a nice addi-
tional amount toward the cost of the
building.
Robert Metcalf will see to 1t that the
Y. M. c. A. gets the. profits from this
find of ore.

Appalling llhteracy Figures

The 1850 Census shows that
1873 per cent Of the white men
and women in North Carolina,
20 years old and older, were
ilIiterate The total number Of
such white illiteratcS at that me
was 80. SOL.
The 1910 Census shows that
li6 per cent of our white men
and women, 20 years old and
over were iIliterate and that the
total number OF such white Hit
crates was los, 92j.
Not only did the total number
of white adult ilIiterates increase
during this interval, bat the per
cent Of such ilIiteracy also in
creased.
Our total white population dur
ing these 60 years increased from
553, OBS to l,500,5ll, or III per
cent; but our adult white Hit
crates increased from 80, j04 to
10S, 925, or 225 per cent,
Our adult white males in 1910,
20 years old and over, numbered
81 22l, and adult white females
81, 70l. The per cent of ilIiteracy
among the white males was l3.S
per cent, and among the females
was l5.4 per cent.
These illiteracy figures for 1910
come from the Federal Census
Bureau under date of February
8, 1917. University News Letter.

Il am sure that later the
moment will come when neutrals
themselves will thank US for our
frmness, for the freedom Of the
seas which we gain by fighting,
is of advantage to them also"
said Bethmann Won HollWeg, in
his speech before the Reichstag
on last Tuesday. We suppose the
Chancellor will soon expect the
thanks Of those who have lost
friends and relatives in the sub
marine murders then all that
will be necessary to make the
gratitude of the world to Germany
complete will be for the murder
ed themselves to rise up and
testify their appreciation of the
German "kultur" which they
experienced to its ultimate de-
gree!

Washington, July 21-The draft for
the national army is completed. Tho
great task of determining the order in
which the regiStrants should be called
up for examination was begun at 9:4S
O'Clock Friday morning when No. 25S
was drawn. and was Kept up continu-
ously until early Saturday morning,
when the last number came out of the
bowl In all 1880 numbers We're
drawn, but it is not likely that men
holding numbers drawn after the first
1000 will be summoned before the
boards for service in the first army.
According TO the officials in charge.
the first 1000 numbers drawn repre-
scented more than n million men.
The draft was invested with all the
dignity and sOlemnity becoming so i'm
portant an event. and was witnessed
by a distinguished company The first
eight numbers We're drawn respective
ly by Secretary of War Baker Senator
Chamberlain of the senate military
committee, Congressman Dent of the
house military committee. Senator
Warren and Representative Kahn,
ranking minority members of the SEN
ate and house military committees
Maj Gen. Tasker III. Bliss, acting
chief of staff of the army; Maj. Gen.
Enoch Crowder, provost marshal of
the army; and Major General Mccain,
adjutant general of the army. After
the first eight numbers had been drawn
the regular tellers took hold, and
worked through until the long task
was completed.
In only a small number of the larg-
est districts will the numbers above Il
few thousand affect registrants. OF
the 1867 registration districts
Throughout the country the largest has
something over 1920 numbers. while
the smallest has only about 1S5, and
the average is about 1900. AS the
drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were
withdrawn before one low enough to
affect the smallest district came out.
1t was 126, placing 1861 men number
ed 126 on their local lists as 157th in
order Of liability.
The following list shows the num-
bers i'm the order i'm which they were
drawn. The first number in each case
represents the order in which the sec
ond, or red-ink registry, number was
taken from the bowl. Four numbers
are given in each line, beginning with
the first number. which was drawn by
Secretary Baker.

Random Musings Of Sports

Judged from the reports Of the Rich
mond game in Buffalo yesterday, Billy
Smith has pretty good grounds for
protest. SO far as the first game is con-
cerncd. O'Iiricu'S decision, that brought
boots OF dcrision from the Bison fans
and that cost Richmond the game. APP
parently was OF the r,wcst order. II
is doubtful, however. If Billy Will en-
ter a protest. He il not that kind and
mas always held that he plays his
games on the field and not before II
league tribunal.
Young Mr.. Waldour was given
rather vigorous reception upon his
first appearance on the mound, and
probably returned to the hotel after
the game with the idea that he has
something Yet TO learn. However, the
young.tcr has considerable ability and,
with training, should develop.
billy appears TO be having real trou-
pie with his hurlcrs ana some spccula-
ton IL being engaged in here AS TO why
Schcneberg has not been called upon.
II is regarded as likely that Billy may
have found him rciapsing into Old
sidelincs and may have found it ncces-
sary TO call him to task.

High school and the richmond Aca-
deny AT the Charlottesville track meet
