SOLAR ECLIPSE

The great solar eclipse that has
been heralded for months by astron-
Cgners as being total in Colorado, D,
was a disappointment in many parts
of the state, especially in Denver,
where many astronomers of renown
had gathered for oil servation.
The day opened brightly, but the
afternoon developed thunder storm
that hid the sun during the greater
part of the moons passage. How
ever, a very good view of it was OBJ
tanned from this city and other plac-
es In the mountain region.
During the period of its totality a
weird feeling pervaded all animate
life and chickens went to roost,
burrcs brayed and horses sought
their stalls for rest. Far to the
eastward over Denver, the lights OF
the city cast their golden rays heav.
onward, presenting a picture seldom
unrolled to the eye of the spectator

%. GOLDBERG BURIED
WITH MILITARY HoNoRs

Edward ]. Goldberg, of this city.
who died at the training camp at
Nogales, Ariz., June 4th of pneumon-
Ia, was born in Leadville, April 8th,
1888, and grew to manhood in Gilpin
county. His funeral, held here last
Tuesday, was one of the largest ev-
er attended in the city. The mem
bers of the Elks, the Red Cross and
Boy Scouts attended in a body. Ser
vices were held in the Methodist
church. the Rev. Mr.. Parker deliver
ing an impressive sermon.
Mr.. Goldberg was the first of Gil
pms loyal sons to give his young
life for his country and the preserva-
tion Of its flag. Altho scarcely
two weeks in the training camp be-
fore his demise, he gave his life to
his country as truly ard as nobly as
if he had died on the blood-soaked
battle fields of France for the liber-
ty of the world.
His lie, as well as others. will not
have been given in vain, for Amer
ica's determination to forever des-
troy Prussian autccracy, will number
him among the list of her noble de-
tenders. His short and exemplary
life to us has been an open book,
cleanly of habit as we'll as speech.
He develored to mans estate under
the shadows of these everlasting hills
whose rarified atmosphere brings
vigor to the body and purity to the
soul.
Reared under the teachings of
christianity, he was averse to war
with all it's attendant cruelties, but
when our government called for
troors to eventually protect the fam
lily fireside, he said my country calls
me ard l must battle for the right,
even tho it be in distant lands.
In his home circle he was ever
watchful and guarded over those of
more tender years, and his many
noble deeds and acts will ever be en-
craven upon their memory.
| To the grief stricken parents, sis
ters and brothers we have but few
consultations to offer, ever remember
ing that the world at large has but a
faint conception Of their wounded
and bleeding hearts.
! The body was escorted from No
gales to this city by Sergeant o. T
Allen, of M. G. Co., 35th mfantry
Monday evening and buried in the
city cemetery Tuesday with military
'honors. a squad Of eight soldiers
coming up from Denver to accom-
pany the remains to the cemetery

A STRANGE PHENOMENON

Thirty-one years ago last Saturday
a modest, though bashful, real es-
tate swain of the city OF Duluth,
Mimi, located at the head of AM
erica's great unsRlted sea, led to
the altar the fair and accomplished
Saddle Feetham of that city, whose
budding greatness was to blossom as
the years rolled by.
This maiden fair, like others of
her sex, had conceived In her mind
from childhood her union with a
great divine that she might the bet
ter be erabled to carry out the de-
sires of her heart, but nature works
in mysterious ways and when Cupid
shot his dart lit pierced the lady's
heart and they were made one.
Soon the work of transmutation
commenced and ere long the real es-
tate agent tlossomed forth as the
Reverend DR.. George S. Parker, who
Iow is pastor of the Central City
M. E. church. For thirty-one years
have this couple marched hand in
hand adown the blissful avenue of
life, and their anniversary last Sat
urday was attended by the astronom-
ical phenomena CT the total eclipse
of the sun and the discovery of here
tofore unseen stars. May this couple
retain their health and vigor to wit
ness a like event.

REACHED
 AS ID ZINC PRICE

The federal trade commission, after thorough investigation regarding the cost of production, has agreed on basis of 12 cents for grade A, which agreement has been approved by the president, subject to a review and re- adjustment by the war industries board on or about the first of June The new price fixed by the board is for the higher grade product and has no bearing on the low grades. The board expects to use an enormous amount of zinc during the year in the manufacture of war materials and it has become necessary to fix the price at some stable basis, so that the mi ner and shelter men will be able to figure on the costs. The provision is also made by the fixing board that the same wages will be paid as before the fixing of the price. Consumers now know what price they will have to pay for zinc, so that they may bid on the finished product knowingly.
 [ The theory that zinc would not be fixed by the federal trades board has caused the shutting down of the small mining companies but under the stim- ulus given by the new rate there is no reason why all mines capable of production should not be started up. Mohave county has a number of big mines that could be operated at large profit under the new price, and it is to be hoped that they will soon be sending out their usual tonnage of ore. The Golconda and Tennessee mines could be operated under an estab- lished price above nine cents, which would allow the shelter a large profit over that figure
 Under the new rating sheet zinc and plate range to 15 cents. Many of the big copper companies, operat- ing zinc mines, were represented at the meeting of the board.

PARTIzANsHIP SHOULD GO

The senate of the United States the scene the other day of verbal partizan combat, which arose over tilts between Senators Williams GrOnne and King. The Democrats accused the Republicans of trying to make political capital of certain war work, and the Republicans retorted that their party had stood more firmly behind the president in all his war endeavors than had the Democrats. We think the time for petty political strife is past and that all such be buried until after the at least. And while we are the subject, must that we feel that Congressman LenrOOt is the logical man for the senatorshp from Wisconsin This may be sacrilege on the part of Democratic paper, but we cannot believe that the splendid work of LenrOOt in the house of representatives should go unrewarded. He has stood sturdily back of all war measures of the president, voted for all war measures and is staunch and true American. The Democrats should not stand in the way of the election of such man.

CHURCH OR COUNTRY WHICH?

The government has asked the people of the coun- try to lay off everything but the raising of money for war and governmental purposes, but the church people of Kingman apparently are putting the rais- ing of money for church purposes and church work above that of husting for the good of the country This is a form of stacking" that the government will sooner or later take action against, and we would not blame our Uncle Samuel if the names of the sackers were called out in meeting It has been reported to this office that of the churchwOrk- ing women was asked to take certain part in the work of the Red Cross, but that another of the women objected on the patriotic CD ground that it would take her away from her church work and that there would be nothing doing in the Red Cross line. If this is patriotism we fail to see it. The churches need carpets rugs or costly appoint ments until after this is God can be ap- peaIed to from the bare floors wooden benches just as well as from the tiled and berugged floors of the magnificent cathedrals.
