The extreme depreciation In silver
Is reflected in the quotation of 59A
cents an ounce for foreign" com
pared with high of $1.37h in Mo-
vember year ago. The present
price Is the lowest since 1916. and 10
attributed by silver dealers to the
general fall In prices which other COM
modities as well as silver hassuffered.
The present fall Is also attributed in
part to recent selling of silver re-
serves by the Bank Of France. which
during the last two weeks has sold
9.70s.000 francs of silver to meet
foreign obligations.
This selling In the face Of small de-
mand has had much to do with the
falling prices, particularly In this
Chinese market, where q famine Is
reported to. have seriously affected
over 5S,000,000 of the population
and to have practically stagnated the
market. According to Samuel Mon
tagu & Co., Of London, such wide
spread distress might not unreason-
ably be expected to bear upon the
prospects of silver. considering how
much q factor China IL In the pro-
duce market" China IL the only inn
portant nation now upon strictly
silver basis, although India uses sill
yer extensively for its internal cur
rency.
This silver depression has lit
tie effect upon American produc-
ers, since the purchasing section
Of the Pittman Act empowers the
Government to buy silver at u
an ounce from American produc-
ers until an amount equal to
that melted and exported to In
dia during the war has been pur-
chased. .
During the war period over 270,-
100000 silver dollars were melted
into bullion. and 30.793.529 more
were exported without smelling. An
additional 55.o00.000 silver dollars
was also sent to the New York Fed
eral Reserve for the purpose of aid
ing Chinese exchange. The total num-
ber of silver dollars withdrawn from
the treasury from the passage of the
Pittman Act on April 23. 1918. until

AN APpEALsTO
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

Three and one-half million children
in Eastern and Central Europe have
no alternative to disaster between
now and next harvest except Ameri-
can aid. For months, because the
needy were SO numerous ana the
available funds SO limited. these most
helpless sufferers In the track of war
have been admitted to American feed
ing-stations only II tragically under
nourished. and have received Amer
ican medical aid only IL desperately
threatened by death from disease.
Winter is closing down. The mon
ey Of many nations Is valueless out
side their own boundaries. Leon
omic and crop conditions, aggravated
over considerable areas by actual
warfare last Summer, make famine,
with its terrible train of diseases, a
certain visitor until next harvest. In
evitably the helpless children will
suffer most. No child can grow to
health and sanity on the pitiful make
shifts for food with which millions
of European adults must content
themselves this Winter. 1t Is obvi-
Gus that the remedy can come only
from outside.
America saved e,000. 600 European
children Winter before last. Nor
NAL recuperation cut the need nearly
in half last year, bat unusual condi-
tions have resulted in scant shrink
age of child rdestitution during the
twelvemonth just past. The response
of America must now decide whether
s.50o.000 of these charges. in acute
distress, shall begin to be turned
away in January fftn more than IT,
900 asyiums. hospitals. clinics and
feeding-stations dependent ON Amer
ican support. There would be no
tragedy in history % sweeping or SO
destructive of those who can deserve
no evil.
The undersigned organizations.
working among every race and creed,
many engaged also a other forms of
relief, sagree unanilhously that the
plight OF these helpless children
should have complies priority in over
seas charity until the situation is
met. This is an issue without poll
tics and without reliEiouslines There
can be no danger pf pauperization.
for the $23.000.0oe Tor child food,
and the $10, .0oo for medical SER
vice that we seek, will relieve only
the critical cases. The medical sup
] plies, of course. must be an unqual-
flied gift, but for every American dol
lar used in child-feeding, the govern
ments and communities aided furnish
two dollars In tn form of transporta-
ton, rent, labor, clerical help, cash
contributions and such food supplies
as are locally obtainable.
America has not failed in the past
in great-heartedness. She has never
had a more poignant call than this.
Contributions should be turned over
to the local committees which are
now being formed for this National
collection, or sent to Franklin K
Lane, Treasurer, Guaranty Trust Co.,

EUREKA-CRoEsUs


Conditions at the mine are very
satisfactory. The Shale raise has
holed through into the old workings
above. affording good air and better
facilities for continuing work. Work
will now be resumed on thelo there,
Other parts of the mine are steadily
producing ore. The teams have been
busy this week hauling coal and hay.
but Will resume ore hauling next
week as there is q shipment In the
bins waiting.
A notice was posted at the Eureka
Croesus mine Friday notifying all
employees that commencing January
/. 1921. wages would be cut so cents
per day.
EUREKA-HOLLY
At the Holly mine this week the
main shaft is being sunk with two
shifts of miners and is now down
575 feet. A few miners are kept
busy on other development work and
in stopping high grade ore.
A carload of machinery arrived this
week for the new mill and is being
hauled from the depot to the plant
and installed. While the present cold
is checking up the work on the mill
somewhat. 1t is thought that 1t will
be ready for it's trial run about the
middle of next month.
EUREKA-ECLIPsE
force of men has recently been
engaged in sinking a new shaft on
this property and they are now down
to a depth OF 20 feet. At 35 feet the
quartz porphyry was encountered,
which is of the same formation as
that found In the Bullwhacker mine,
and is given by geologists as the
source from which the ores are de-
rived. This quartz porphyry will as
say from a trace to 80 cents per ton
in gold and silver. The Eureka
Eclipse property is situated just west
Of the Holly and Bullwhacker mines.
RUBY HILL
At Ruby Hill the big mine and
plant is still closed down. General
Manager II. p. Henderson arrived
from New York by yesterdays train,
and It Ia thought some news regard
ing the plans of the company will
soon be given out.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The long-scheduled debate on the
question. Resolved. THAT Eureka
County would be justified in erecting
modern Hugh School building by
September, 1922" was held wednes-
day morning Of the present week.
Those opposing the question were
showed under by a student-body vote
Of 81 to z. However, the debate was
not as one-sided as the result would
seem to indicate. as the popularity of
the Affirmative side among the stu
dents probably affected the result to q
considerable extent. Robert Lucey.
Stella Rogantini and Marie Harris
supported the Affirmative. while the
negative end was held up by Rosalie
Davis, Edward Skillman and Albert
Bfale. The arguments showed con-
siderable preparation on their part
and they succeeded in working up an
unusually fine debate.
The cost OF the building as planned
would range between $4,000 and
$4,000. 1t was to be of modern
construction with all the latest i'm
provements as to heating. lighting
and ventilation and was to be con-
siderably larger than the present
building. An auditorium and gym
nasium were planned for the lower
floor.
The present high rate of taxation
in Eureka County was discussed at
considerable length by both sides.
disagreeing as to whether or not the
taxpayers would be justified in pay
ing the cost of a new High School
building in addition to their already
high taxes. The Affirmative argued
that the cost of the building, II spread
out over a period Of twenty years.
would hardly be noticeable to the
taxpayers In addition to their yearly
taxes; while the Negative main
tanned that 1t would be a risky ven-
ture due to the present condition of
the County and It's future outlook.
and also to the high cost of labor,
material and transportation.
So much for the debate. Now we
all believe that Eureka County needs
and is justified in the erection of q
new High School building. A larger
building with more rooms and teach
ers would result in more subjects be-
ing offered, which would give the
student a wider range to pick from
in making up his or her yearly course.
We firmly believe that more teachers
and subjects. In addition to a fine
gymnasium, a means would be pro-
vided for keeping many student in
school who would otherwise remain
out. We believe that with a fine
modern High School building In Eu-
reka County the students would re-
ceive far better education and
would attend in larger numbers than
at present; also that the cost of the
building would be- a secondary con-
sideration compared to the advan-
tages which would result to the Coun-
ty by the erection of a new High
School building. You all know the
old saying, Quality remains long af-
ter the price is forgotten" So would
it be In this case. All right, let's see
what can be done about 1t.
