FRANK GARSIDE THOUGHT
THE GERMANS WERE THERE

There was some excitement in the
Times office yesterday. when a GER
tain Tonopah young woman tiptoed
into the fighting editors sanctum and
placed upon his desk stick of giant
powder of 40 per cent strength. He
recalled everything he had ever said
or printed about the fair sex, and for
an instant believed that the young
woman was going to touch match
to the thing that would send the
print shop and it's occupants to helen
gone. But there was nothing of the
sort The young lady stated that she
knew powder when she saw it, and
that when she saw it lying right out
in the middle of Mineral street, di-
rectly in front of the Times office, she
knew that it was no place for such a
dangerous missile. She believed that
if she had not picked il up a truck
or dray might have run over it, and
bang where would the Times be?
After this, anyone carrying muni-
tions of war will please go around the
block. We have a family to support.

EXTRA SESSION Is
AGAIN PROPOSED

Late yesterday afternoon the state
council of defense passed a resolution
requesting Governor Boyle to call a
special session of the legislature
Governor Boyle said he would give
the resolution serious consideration.
When the matter of a special ses-
sion was proposed in the council yes
terday morning. it was strongly sup
ported by several members in order
to enable the state to deal effectively
with the question of sedition, persis-
tent loafers, and other matters upon
which the present laws are believed
to be ineffective.
II am strongly in favor of special
session." Attorney General George
Thatcher said, "and believe it should
be held at once"
The officers of the state council of
defense are practically all in favor
of the special session, in order to
adopt. an anti-loafer law, modelled
after those of Montana or Maryland,
and a strict law which would enable
local authorities to deal effectively
with sedition.-[ Reno Gazette.

fLKO INDEPENDENT
ON APEX PROPOSAL

Some time ago a famous mining
case was tried and decided before
jury in southern county court. That
case decided the issues that had their
origin in the present mining law per-
tanning to the apex rule. The Jury
was composed of men who were es-
sentially familiar with all the rules
and regulations of the present day
mining in this state Their decision
was against the apex law.
II is fitting that we take that de-
cision as an expression of expert
opinion. 1t is not fitting that we who
are unschooled in the operations of
such law and unfamiliar with the
conditions which it creates should
pass an opinion upon whether or not
1t is good law, but it is entirely proper
that we take the judgment of the
men daily engaged in an occupation
vitality concerned by its terms. 1t
therefore little becomes the editor of
the Nevada State Journal to criticize
the efforts of Senator Charles b. Hen
derson to put through congress a bill
pronouncing void the terms of an
act which mining men say is perni-
cious. Senator Henderson's bill would
cast into the discard the apex rule in
mining locations. Southern Nevada
papers, Southern Nevada men, and
Southern Nevada political candidates,
people who live in the most active
communities in the state. are pledging
themselves to the election of men
who will support Senator Hender-
sons bill. 1t is well enough for the
editor of newspaper, or the corner
groceryman, or an automobile sales
man, to state vigorously that such a
bill should not become law. 1t doesn't
make any particular difference to him
but how about the fellow whose in
terests it vitality affects? 1t seems
that these men have conclusively an
swered that question in the White
Caps Morning Glory suit.
The Journal thinks that the pres
ent law stimulates locations. How?
There is no limit to the number of
claims man can locate. A shrewd
prospector generally knows pretty
well where his vein leads and how far
it extends. The law proposed by SEN
ator Henderson does not prevent the
location of sufficient number of
legal subdivisions of ground to give
the locator plenty of room to work
his vein if he knows his business.
The present day apex rule seems TO
us to operate on the same principle
as permitting neighboring farmer to
dam the bitches upon your land sim
ply because he gets water out of the
same stream.-[ Elko Independent

WILLIAM FARNUM IN "THE
CONQUEROR. AT AMERICAN

THE Conqueror." William Foxs
stirring photodrama featuring Will
liam Farnum, will be seen at the
American Theatre tonight. 1t is said
of The Conqueror" that it is Director
r. A. Walsh's masterpiece, and that
statement should be accepted by the
motion picture-loving public as an
epoch.
The life of General Sam Houston
one of the country's most famous
frontier characters. is depicted on the
screen in wealth of realism and de-
early '4Os and their depradations and
their repulse by the cavalrymen and
Indians under General Sam Houston,
is one of the most picturesque battle
scenes ever filmed, no picture ex-
cepted.
The love story in THE Conqueror
is charming and the dramatic action
is skillfully built to climaxes that
reach the acme of motion picture
realism.
the celebrated Texas hero, is pictured
in the colorings SO well fitted to his
manly appearance and dramatic skill
The younger Houston went to live
with the Indians, where his presence
was of much good to the Red Men.
When he met the Tennessee Rose,
however, his plans underwent a COM
plete change. II became ambitious
and rose to high political heights. He
became governor of the state and then
claimed the hand of his charmer.
Then follows in rapid succession his
fitting from public life of his old
state to the borders of Mexico. where
he was prominent in the early his
tory of Texas. His departure from
civilization was due to a misunder-
standing with his young wife, from
whom he parted, almost at the altar
Their dramatic meeting and recon
ciliation in a convent, amidst the
strife of battle, is one of the stir
ring parts of the famous picture.

ST SILVER BILL UP
TO THE PRESIDENT

The administration bill introduced
by Senator Pittman, authorizing the
melting into bullion of 350.000,000 sill
yer dollars to pay trade balances. was
passed by the House late yesterday
without amendment 1t has already
passed the Senate and now goes to
the President for signature.
The governments plan to melt sew
eral hundred million of silver dollars
now in the treasury vaults, fixing an
arbitrary price of 81 an ounce, has
again stimulated demand for that
metal in the New York market.
Two weeks ago bar silver was
quoted at 913sc. BY steady degrees
it has climbed to within a fraction
of the price fixed by the treasury de-
partment, selling today at 99Ac.
Dealers in silver say that the ex-
traordinary demand for that metal
from India and China is chiefly re-
sponsible for its recurrent strength.

COL. RANKIN TAKES TEN
 YEAR LEASE ON PAYROLL

Gel. J. c. Rankin, who has been Chloride his home the past year or more, has taken ten year lease on the Payroll and Marybelle mines. A big bore tunnel is now being driven into the Payroll ground that will tap the ore body at depth and enable the extraction of ore without the expense ofjhandling the big body of water that was struck at the 400 in the Payroll. The upper tunnel was driven on the vein and was in ore for long distance. It was to tap this ore body that the present shaft was sunk and the crosscut run. The cross cut reached the vein in bad break and the peopleb having the mine under option discontinued work. Under the ownership of T. P. Scott a fine body of lead-zinc ore was opened.
 With deep opening in the vein the property ought to become one of the largest shippers in the county. The ore is. good and properly handled the mine should be winner. Col. Rankin has had wide experience in the hand ling of mines and mills and we ex- pect, big results from his manage ment.
