Big Plans Laid for
Labor Day Picnic
Gray, Reid & Company Labor Day
Picnic to be One of the Big
Affairs of the Kind

Gray, Reid & Company are to be
hosts to all who will avail them
selves of the opportunity to while
away next Monday, Labor Day, in
the seclusion of Sagouspe's grove
six miles north of Fallon. Free
lemonade and melons are to be
provided for the crowd and folks
generally are asked to come armed
with lunches to augment these in
order that candidates for the tug
of-war contest may have a due
amount of poundage to hold them
firmly ON their feet. There will be
swimming contests. races, jumping
and wrestling and the married men
will attempt to show the single men
that the great national game of
baseball is still form of sport at
which they excel. Lively entertain
ment will be the order of the day
from II o'clock until four, with an
intermission of one hour for din
ner. Most everybody connected
with the enterprise wanted a half
hour only for luncheon time, yet W.
X. Davis, Gray, Reid & Company
advertising man who is directly in
charge of arrangements insisted
that the eating time be extended
over d period of one hour. He is
said to desire this amount of time
as a training period for the melon
and pie eating contests for which
he has already declared himself an
entrant with the statement that he
would show the epieures hereabouts
a thing or two about the eating
game.
1t is aimed that the start shall
be made from Fallon at 10 o'clock
next Monday, the line of march be-
ing. direct to the picnic grounds
The Fallon band management has
promised a street concert on the
corner of Maine and Center streets
shortly in advance of starting time
to add zest to the occasion.

How Rail Increases
Affect This State
Unfairness Of Rail Rates In This
State is Made Manifest by q Com
parfs0n

That the so-called short lines"
and branch lines of the transconti-
mental railroads in Nevada are de-
termined to exact "all the traffic
Will bear" Is apparent In their atti-
tude at the recent hearing before
the public service commission for a
fiat raise of 25 per cent of the ex-
listing rates. on authority of the In
terstate commerce commission says
the Nevada Mining Press. Ship
pers and receivers of freight were
invited to appear at the hearing and
enter their protests. The railroads
objected to the taking of their test
imony, claiming that the public
service commission could do no less
than recommend the rate increase
to the interstate commerce commits
sion. The public service commits
sion will make its recommendation
to the interstate commerce commits
sion within few days. Indica-
tions are that the application of
the rail lines for a blanket raise
will be denied.
Some interesting evidence was
introduced at the hearing, which
shows how the branch lines and
short lines have fattened at the ex-
pense of the industries of the state.
1t developed. for instance. that
through rates, with a very few ex-
ceptions, are not granted to points
of the main lines. Tonopab. as an
illustration, must pay class rates In
carload shipments from Hazen that
originate outside the state. John
G.. Kirchen. manager of the Tono-
pah Extension mine, gave interest
ing testimony of how this works
out. He cited carloed shipments Of
cyanide on which the freight from
Niagara Falls to Hazen Is $1,000.
From Hazcn to Tonopah. the South
ern Pacific and Tonopah & Goldfield
railroads exact $1,000. The dis
tance from Niagara Falls to Hazen
is about 1000 miles; from Hazen
to Tonopah. 1874 miles. Freight
charges for the 1874 miles are 5000
greater than for tho 1000 miles.
Mine machinery in carload lots,
Chicago to Hazen, takes a rate of
$1.S7h per cwt.; from Hazen to
to Tonopah the rate is $1.271x:
bar iron Pittsburg to Hazen,
$1.461s; Hazen to Tonopah,
s1.27h.
Shippers of crude ore will be SER
iously affected by the proposed In
crease in freight rates. There are
no smelters in operation In Nevada
and ell the business Is interstate.
therefore, rates are controlled by
the interstate commerce commits
sion. II the rail lines insist upon
advancing their charges 25 per cent
1t is inevitable that many mines
will be compelled to curtcil their
output, sending out only the higher
grade ores. There is now q short
age OF lead, silver and gold In the
country; 1t is a time when produc-
tion should be encouraged.

MISS LILITH MARTIN SPOKE
AT PAVILION MONDAY NIGHT

One of the most vigorous speak
ers of the fair sex is Miss Lilith
Martin, socialist organizer, who
talked 10 large crowd at the Pa
vilion Monday evening. Miss Mar
tin is not related to Ann Martin,
either by blood or political ties. yet
the oratorical style of one Is not
unlike that of the other and during
the course of her remarks Monday
night Miss Lilith panned the exist
ing order of things most unmerci-
fully. The body polite Is now rot
ten in its every constituent part,
she said, and must always remain
so unless new methods of govern
ment are introduced. She made a
special plea for her standard bear
er. Eugene V. Debbs, now serving a
0-year sentence In the Atlanta,
Ga, federal prison for seditious ut
terances during the late war, Miss
Martin went further and said that
the socialist party demanded the
repatriation of all political prison
ers convicted for similar offenses
under the espionage act and that
England and Italy. both kingdoms
had extended this dispensation
while the political prisoners OF
America still languish in jails and
penitentiaries.
Something like 5000 was raised
for the socialist cause at the con
clusion of Miss Martins speech
She will continue her campaigning
throughout all Of the main settled
parts of Nevada.

CANDIDATES CANNOT AD-
VERTISE IN PROGRAMS

A letter of inquiry from a candi-
date for public office who wished to
know il he could violate the cor
rupt practices act of the state by
advertising his candidacy in Lab
or Day Program at the solicitation
of the committee in charge of the
affair, brought the following opin-
ion as an answer from the attorney
generals office, says the Carson
news.
Section 81 of the Corrupt Prac-
tices Act clearly prohibits any per-
son to solicit or ask or invite any
candidate to subscribe for or pay
for space in any book, program,
periodical or other publication. Any
candidate who makes payment for
such purposes, with the hope or In
tent to influence the result of the
election, shall be guilty of cor
rupt practice.
Viewing the situation from a
technical legal standpoint. am
compelled to say that such payment
on the part of any candidate would
be indicative of desire to help his
candidacy and to influence the re-
suit of the election The law, as il
has come from the legislature, is
very drastic and In constituting OF
interpreting it, there is little open
ing for "a liberal view OF Its provis-
ions. Section 81 may relieve a can
didate after he is elected of a multi
tude of mistakes or misdeedD, but
while he is candidate, 1t is of nc
avail"

To Settle Question
OF Sugar Factory
Sugar Beets to be Made the Topic
For Discussion at the COM
mercial Club

Sugar beets as a subject for dis
cussion will hold the undivided at
tention of those who attend the
Churchill County Commercial club
meeting next Monday evening. Dis
cussed casually at the meeting last
Monday evening IL voted then to
enter thoroughly into the topic at
next weeks meeting, with the idea
in mind of determining once and
for all whether the Fallon factory
Is to be supported in the manner
demanded by those in whom owner
ship Is invested or whether we are
to lose the valuable mechanical
and more ambitious community
This Is what Fred Hinze and his as
sociates want to know and local
people would welcome once and for
all the lending of definiteness to
the enterprise, or Its complete an
nullment as the case happens to be.
Plainly, If the industry is to be re-
vived as 1t should be, it will take
more than mere talk and IL it isn't
going to be revived humane tend
ency would seem to dictate its
quick dispatch.
The men who own the factory
naturally want to make their plans
quickly for If Fallon fails to put
forward the necessary acreage,
other communities are open armed
for what We now have. We are in
imminent danger. it is asserted. of
losing the factory, and failure to act
promptly and in concert from this
date forward will result in the early
dismantlement and moving of the
factory equipment, according to
Fred Hinze who has put in a period
of conscientious work but with un-
satisfactory results, he says, insofar
as acreage responses are concerned.
Mr.. Hinze says that he does not
contemplate the employment of
japanese as beet field workers. but
would bring Mexicans here to do
the menial tasks and that the last
issue of the Standard incorrectly
quoted him.

OH Land Drilling Permits Have

At least two residents of this COM

1t Is believed that within a short
time all who have applied with a

Frank Hartman have received per-
mits for drilling privileges on lands
claimed by them, located within the
Fallon oil field.

gives incentive for a renewal of ac-
tivities here and that within a short
time operations will be under way
In broader sense than ever before.
II probably Is fact that the uncer-

filed has acted as a deterrent to the
prosecution of drilling work on

MINING COPPER FROM TIRE STOPEs'

disorder ,and no helmets availed t. protect them. ,,
 These hot stopes were gradually cooled by means of gentle currents of air, blown into them under an intri- cate system of ventilation control. Temperatures of 1900 deg. F. were re- duced to 120 deg in about six weeks, and further lowered to below 100 deg. in course of time. .
 At the mine now in question three shovels already are operating. One bites out 8 GU. yd. of material at a swing and loads a car with three scoopfuls. This monster, resembling misplaced Mississippi steamboat, has been reducing the ancient slag dump on which many of the old mine buildings were standing. The mater lal is carried down the gulch to what IS known as the 50O-ft. level, where 1t Is being used to construct a flat for new Jerome townsite. Inciden- tally, the company is going to devote part of this made ground to a base ball field for the miners. The "shelf' will overlook 40 miles of the nearby valley and wonderful panorama of distant mountain peaks.
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1920-07-24

Feeling the side of a mountain off great copper ore deposit as one would strip the skin off banana, and blowing streams of cold air on masses of incandescent rock to cool them, are two of the remarkable mining meth ods of a great copper company at Jerome, Ariz., but because the cold air does not always cool all the glow ing copper rock sufficiently to enable the miners to work, the company will resort to steam shoveling in order to clean out it's fire stopes.'
 At this time, some months after the beginning of actual operations on the surface, the company has remov- ed large part of the old sllo du'np which filled the gulcr below the org inal shaf. head and covered the :te of the contemplated operations, which experts consider the most efficient for handling ores. The next step will be to remove the mine buildings from their present. location in the gulch, start the steam shovels eating their way into the side of the hill and, in time to, send loaded ore cars direct from the surface to the smeltins plant at Clarkdale, about seven miles away.
 The first fires recorded in tho mine ocurred in 1894 and were caused by a cave-in of the ore body. Since then there have been numerous fires in timbered workings.
 Since the miners at this location be- gan fighting the flames, they have used virtually all known methods in vain. Flooding with water was of no avail, for the water escaped through the broken ground; carbon-dioxide gas, blown into the hot areas, faiiel because there was always enough air in the Assures to nullify the smother ing effect of the heavy gas; pipe !in- es were laid and jets of steam were forced into the ground, but the inabi!- ity of the miners to seal up the fire areas made this method useless.
 Several years ago this company adopted the so-called plenum system, from the view of the iay- man, in that it sought to stop burning by blowing air on the burning ma- terials. Slopes were opened up where the rock glowed in the dark with it's | internal heat. Gas from the oxidiz- ing sulphur drove the miners out in
