cut on the 190O-foot level. This
work is designed to further explore
the main vein, the foot-wall of which
was penetrated by the raise at a
height of about 40 feet, where 1t ex-
posed quantities of gold-copper ore
averaging in value around $11 per
ton. The new winze from the 1850
foot level, which exposed seams of
high-grade ore at depth of 40
feet, will be sunk to connect later
with the workings on the 1900 level,
while the crOss-cut on the latter lev
ell will now be pushed forward to
is shown to have flattened greatly
below the 1750-foot level. Realiza-
ton of results expected upon open
ing the main vein at the 19O0foOt
level has been delayed in conse-
quence of the flattening of the vein
at depth, but conditions at all points
where work is in progress are re-
garded as highly satisfactory.
Silver Pick Cons.
Work Of sinking the main shaft
of the Silver Pick, below the 1100-
foot point, was resumed less than a
fortnight ago and the results obtain
ed in sinking about 80 feet have
been of a most encouraging charac-
ter considerable amount of de-
velcpment work was done on the
11O0-foot level, but while some good
quartz was exposed here and some
fair assays obtained, no paw ore was
found in commercial quantity and
the results were not satisfactory.
Expert authorities who examined the
property expressed the belief that
the formation at this depth consisted
of an iron Gaping that would be
found to overlie an ore-bearing zone
of inheritance, and the further sink
ing Of the shaft appears to be bear
ing out this theory. The bottom of
the shaft is now in quartz of excel
lent appearance, carrying quantities
of iron sulphide and some copper
and similar in character to the deep

Resumption of sinking at great
depth by the Silver Pick Consoli-
dated Mining company has already
produced results of more than ordi-
nary significance. At a depth of
100 feet sinking was discontinued
last year while lateral development
work was conducted on the bottom
level, covering a considerable area,
but while there we're favorable indi-
cations at this depth and some en-
couraging assays were obtained, the
results were not satisfactory and no
ore of commercial grade was found
atSthis depth.
An analysis of conditions at the
11O0-foot level by a number of rec
ognized mining authorities of high
standing appears to have resulted in
unanimous expressions of opinion
that the formation in which the
work at this depth was conducted
consists of a Gaping, containing
much iron and from which the prec-
ious metals have been extensively
leached, and that this Gaping over
lies a silicified, ore-bearing channel
of large dimensions, which holds
most important possibilities for fnd-
ing pay ore.
With his own opinion and conclu-
sions fortified and supported by
mining engineers of national repute,
who examined the property at the
instance of President Herman Zadig,
Manager George Dyer recently COM
pleted his preparations for further
sinking, which was resumed last week.

war now hinges is to face these facts
and save and plant accordingly
Americas supreme test is here We
have the men, the material and the
means, and il we have the proper spirit
we will win, if we lack it, we lose
"The war can be won only by self
forgetting devotion of the leaders and
OF the people BY putting every par.

pose and will back OF the Government;
bv doing whatever is helpful and alb.
staining from whatever is hurtful; by
holding up the hands of a constituted
authority and inlusng it with the
spirit and determination of uncompro-

There is no escape The war was
forced upon us and no matter how
great may be the cost in treasure and

stake
For all we have and are;
For all our childrens fate;

The policy Of the Board in the selec.
tion of colleges for its gifts is stated in
one of their reports as follows;
''ln general it may be said that the
Board seeks to assist in the further de-
velopment of well established institu-
tions, which appear to be necessary
factors in well organized and well dis
tributed permanent system of higher
education. Before making appropria-
tons, careful investigation is made to
determine whether an institution is
necessary in the sense that, if it did
not exist or were not further developed
the higher education of the constituency
which it now serves would be seriously
hampered; whether the institution is
reasonably well located in the sense
that no stronger institution, doing sub
stantially the same service, is already
sufficiently accessible; finally, whether
the institution is apt to be permanent,
in the sense it has already passed the
tentative stage and possesses assured
support in the form of devoted alumni,
or utilization with religious denomina-
ton or some other organization. HAY
ing satisfied itself on these points, the
Board may make contribution to a
fund, the raising of which has already
been determined. The Boards contri-
button is made to permanent endow-
ment not for buildings, grounds, or APP
paratus, since experience shows that
these necessities are not as rule other
wise more or less readily obtainable.
Nor does the Board make gifts for the
support of particular academic depart
ments, chairs or lines of work, because
in the first place, such a designation
would operate as a restriction upon the |
freedom of the institution and might in
practice amount at some period to in
reference with the internal policy of
an institution-an attitude which the
Board has from the first avoided; be-
cause, in the second place, experience
shows that endowment funds should
preferably be kept mobile, in order that
institutions may the more readily re-
spond to changed conditions"

Tells H0,u to Stop q
Bad Cough
Surprising results from this famous
old homemade syrup. Eaetly
prepared and costs little.

If YOU have severe cough or chest
cold accompanied with soreness, throat
tickle, hoarseness, or difficult breathing,
or if your child wakes up during the
night with Group and you want quick
help. try this reliable old home made
cough remedy. Any druggist can sup
ply you with 21a ounces of Pinex.
Pour this into a pint bottle and fill
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup. Or you can use clarified
molasses, honey, or corn syrup, in
stead of sugar syrup, if desired. This
recipe makes pint of really remarkable
cough remedy. 1t tastes good, and in
spite of its low cost, it can be depended
upon to give quick and lasting relief.
You can feel this take hold of a cough
in a way that means business. 1t loos-
ems and raises the phlegm, stops throat
tickle and sOothes and heals the irritated
membranes that line the throat and bron-
chial tubes with such promptness, ease
and certainty that it is really aston
ishing.
Pinex is a special and highly concen-
trated compound of genuine Norway pine
extract, and is probably the best known
means of overcoming severe coughs.
throat and chest colds
There are many worthless limitations of
this mixture. To avoid disappointment,
ask for "2h ounces of Pinex' with full
directions and don't accept anything else.

THE DANCE OF LONG AGO

THE DANCE OF LONG AGO
The fiddle" is comm in style again
AS in the days of yore,
When we danced to the Arkansas
Traveller"
Upon the rough board floor.
Oh, my blood it is tinglin'
And my feet they won't keep still.
When think of the dance of long ago
And my black-eyed beau" named
Will.
A catch for the maidens all around
Was this farmer boy, named Will,
For he was the owner of a horse and
sleigh
And a little farm on the hill.
Dan Morrow lived at lie cross roads
And had built hi. new house.
And the boys and girls f. miles around
Were invited in to dance.
Twas New Years eve the moon shone
bright,
And the ground was white with
snow;
Will came for me with his horse and
sleigh
To go to the dance at Morrows.
The Fiddler sat in the corner
With his fiddle on his knee:
Fill up the floor for another qua
drille,"
And, Honor your partners, "cried he.
Then. Corners turn and promenade
round;
Black eyes smiled into blue;
For never a thought had Will or l
That trouble. that night would brew.
Then "The Irish Washwoman" was
played,
And I "do-ce-doed" with Vern:
When 1.-TWO ladies change" was called
With Charley l took a turn.
Then Swung em aroun'" with Rufus
With Chalk and Orlando knight.
When THE Girl l Left Behind Me"
Was played at Morrows that night.
Will watched me from the corner,
His face grew cold and stern,
His head was lifted proudly.
And his cheeks began to burn.
The dance was over at a. m.
Will and | started home,
But the joy we had when going
Had with the old year flown.
Will was jealous and spoke harsh
words;
was proud and self-willed,
So we said "good-bye' forever,
| For our hearts with anger were
! filled.
Each in turn married a chosen one
! For better or worse, for veal or woe
/ But oft at the sound of violin
| dream of the dance of long ago

Fourteen German born Americans
expressed their desire to be real
American citizens at the naturaliza-
ton hearing held this morning in the
circuit court room Thirty-eight
aliens were to be examined during the
day
Most of the men examined Thurs
day had taken out their first papers
and had considered themselves citi-
2ens because they could vote. Others
believed that their fathers were citi-
zens and had learned recently that
they had only taken out their first
papers.
All heard this morning had made de-
clarations of intention many years
ago and, said they had continued to
vote in spite of the fact that these
papers expired on September 26. 1913
Most of the applicants We're old
men, All expressed their fidelity to
the United States. Some were fathers
of men in service, among them Martin
Bullach, who has two sons in France.
The hearing was conducted by U.
S. Examiner P W. Blaser before Judge
Bond. Each witness was questioned
as to his attitude when the war broke
out in Europe and when the United
States entered the war
Carl Andreas Boge, a blacksmith in
Richmond, who was once a member
of the German naval reserve was ex.
amined. After being in this service
two months he came to this country,
he said. His mother told her three
sons that when they wanted to come
to the United States she would give

them the money to come, Boge said,
and he came to this country on mill
tary pass and two years after being
here was no longer a member OF the
reserve. He said that German mill
tary officials wrote to him three times
about the matter and he finally wrote
and told them to go to the devil, he
had no intentions of having anything
more to do with Germany. Boge said
that he was no friend of the kaiser's
and was not when he lived in Ger
many He said this morning that he
registered in the draft and that he
would have gone any time.
Clemens Lahrman was in some
doubt as to whether he had been a
member of the society known as the
German American Alliance or not. In
his statement to the first examiner
that came to Richmond he said that
he had been induced to join this So
ciety for the purpose of spreading Ger
man propaganda and that he was be-
ing used as a tool whereupOn he left
the organization. He said this morn
ing that at the time he joined the So
ciety he thought it was just social
affair, that he went to two or three
meetings and that at no time was the
war discussed. He said the members
met and had "a glass Of beer and
that was all that was done as far as
he knew Mr.. Lahrman had difficulty
in remembering just when he joined
the organization but felt quite sure
that it was before war was declared
He has two sons in the service and
said that he had always been for the
United States.

amined Thursday morning John
