PROSPECTOR MAKES UNUSUAL
FIND In CUPRITE DISTRICT

half miles south of Goldfeld, in the
Cuprite district. a deposit Of Stron-
tianite, a mineral used in the manu-
facture Of co'ored signal lights and
fireworks. Diffenbaugh says he sem
samples to the Dupont Powder Com
pany and the Foote Mineral Company
of Philadelphia, and has received a
letter from the former company a y

He says the vein is from forty to sixty
feet wide in his claims. Other Gold
field men have located claims on the
vein and Diffenbaugh says no more
ground is open for location on the
course of the vein. The d~iscoverer
says he learned to recognize stron-

WILL YOU CARRY OUT
YOUR FAIR BARGAIN?

April 6. 1917, you went into part
nership with several million Ameri-
can fighters.
You wanted protection for your
family, FOUR income. and the privi-
leges you deemed necessary to pro-
per living.
Several thousand miles way an
army of arrogant, outlaw millions
had begun a campaign OF ruthless
world conquest. accompanied by
crimes against women, children and
property. This horror was striding
toward your home.
American fighters agreed to re-
ceive training. brave the submarines
and fight this menace which had
taken on forms more terrible than
history recorded. AS your part of
this partnership you were to remain
at home, do your part in financing
their crusade, see that their families
had financial assistance. and pay
each $50 a month. You felt that you
had a good bargain.
They fought, died. and won. They
fulfilled their part of the contract
without complaint.
Today, two years after the signing
of that agreement, you are asked to
carry out your part of the bargain
by investing in the Victory Liberty
Loan.
WILL YOU PAY?

We have often had occasion, when
we thought it not worth while to re-
buke, to smile at the announcements,
"frst time in New York" "frst time
in America" etc, appearing in connec-
ton with compositions on our concert
house bills. II managers or artists
we're TO inject little more personal
EQUATION and add "withn the memory
OF" manager or artist), there would
be less disturbance of the verities of
history than there has been ever since
a musical generation has grown up
which seems convinced that the world
waited for it to come before it began
doing things. Every recurrent agitation
in favor of opera in English, whether
in the field of creation or performance,
starts out with the proposition that
music in America is just emerging
from a period of nothingness or in
fancy ("swaddling- clothes" was Mr..
Meltzers expression in The Tribune
week ago). Yet nothing is palmer
to the intelligent student OF musical
history than that opera in the vernac-
ular is nearly 200 years old. Indeed
II may be older, for Mr.. o. G. Son
neck, the most jealous and painstaking
Investigator of musical history that
ws have yet had, in his book, early
Opera in America" leaves tho pre-
sumption still entertainable that Toby
Ashton, who came to America in the
beginning of Queen Anne's reign"
may have produced operas of the type
then prevalent in England, in Charles
ton and New York in 1903 and 1904.
The presumption is interesting, but
not essential to the contention that
English operas were performed on this
side of the Atlantic at least as early
as 1889, which is good enough date
for the refutation of the notion that
opera in the vernacular has never had
q chance for existence in America
heretofore and ought to be given an
opportunity by the governmental in
stitution of national opera house or
musical conservatory. With the ques-
ton of the possible value of endowed
theatres and training schools either
by the government or private citizens
we are not concerned just now, how
ever.
Who was the first native American
composer? That is q more interesting
question, and one that is probably as
difficult to answer as the query touch
ing the first operate performance in
America. For men may have written
music Of which no signs have been
preserved. We do know, however, who
considered himself "the first native of
the United States who (has) produced
a musical composition.7 It was thus
that Francis Hopkinson described him
self in 1888, when he sent to
his friend, George Washington. at
Mount Vernon, a volume contain
ing eight original compositions, to-
gether with courtly dedication Of the
