To the Directors and Stockholders Of
the Eureka-Holly Mining Company:
l submit my report for the fiscal
year ending June 30th. 1920. as fol-
lows:
During the year the final payments
required under contracts for pur-
chase of property at Eureka. Nevada,
were made and deeds conveying title
to the property on which 1t has been
operating we're delivered to your
Company. The property now owned
includes 2 claims, with a total area
of 206.43 acres, located in the north
ern end of the Eureka Mining Dis
trict, and a ranch of 800 acres To-
Gated about miles northeast of the
mine. In connection with this ranch
the Company owns valuable water
rights covering a minimum flow of
approximately 100000 gallons per
day

the Farmers Mining Company and
optioned TO this company in 1917.
was sold on a basis to repay the
money advanced. This was disposed
of because the development Of the
Company's metallurgical plans show
ed that the equipment located there
ION could not be used to advantage.
More additions were made on Equip
ment and Plant account than during
any previous year. These were made
because OF the limited capacity of the
old plant and resulting high operat-
ing costs and because of the necessity
for increased capacity in order to un-
dertake the deeper development of
the mine. They include the follow
ing:
Semi-Deisel Engines I50
Horse Power); Hoist for main
shaft; Air Compressor: SO IT.
Head Frame, for main shaft;
Storage Tanks. for oil and water
10000 gallons totaD; Pipe
Lines. for air, water supply and
delivery of oil from railway; Au-
tomobile Truck, Mine Cars,
Drills, Tools, etc., etc.
BY these additions the company
has a hosting plant with capacity
sufficient for sinking to the 1000 IT.
level, compressor plant for 500
cubic feet of air per minute. and suffi-
cient excess power to operate a small
reduction plant.
In addition to the foregoing equip
ment betterments. the Engine House
has been enlarged; the Bunk House
enlarged and completed; and the
Boarding House enlarged. renovated
and newly equipped. Materials for
other living quarters and new shop
are on hand.

goers they should have been at their
best one play after another only
served to prove that they were not
offering satisfactory work to the pub
tic. Some of the most popular actors
Of the American stage have retired
until they can find satisfactory sub
stitutes for the mediocre dramas
which the playwrights provide for
them. There has been more or
less generous borrowing from the for
eign stage, but the results have not
been notably better.
Naturally in the desperate need of
finding plays for the numerous thea
tres the impresarios are turning to
the successes that once pleased the
public. The old favorites will again
be tried out. Will they quicken the
blood Of the present generation of
playgoers? VIII they make the audi
ences of the day laugh and cry and
shiver? AS the heroine in more than
one Of them probably remarked, time
alone can tell. In the meantime the
proved successes of the past will be
seen on the boards for the excellent
reason that there is nothing else
available just now for the purposes
of the providers of amusement.

Kissin' Cousins.

New York University's Purity
League demands as a prerequisite
for membership that candidates shall
never have been kissed. This re-
quirement, it must be assumed, ex-
cepts OSCILLATION within the family.
But right here a question Of rela-
tivity stalks in and will clamor until
satisfactorily answered.
South of Mason and Dlxon's line,
where there is much Of social custom
which is excellent, they have a say
ing which defines a cousinship more
remote than first, second or third
as "kissin' cousin" This relation
ship authorizes a pleasant privilege
which. we are informed, is rapidly
gaining favor north OF the old en-
gineers' boundary among discerning
observers of social phenomena.
II is clearly seen, then, that it is
the serious duty of the university's
league to proceed wtsh eernestucss.

Races and Crime.
A Larger Proportion of Negro Than
White Prisoners Reported.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: ct. H."
makes the following statement In a let
ter printed under the headline "The
South and the Negro" 'It is hard to
csny1nce Southerners that as many or
more crimes are committed by whites
in the North
No wonder II is hard. The trouble
with people like "T. H." is, as the late
Josh Billings would say, they know so
many things that amt So"
TIL, prison statistics for 1910, the lat
est available, from which those of 1920
cannot be widely different as regards
proportions, show the following figures
for inmates of penal institutions in the
United States: whites. 72.797; negroes.
1854. Thus the negroes furnished "a
per cent of the criminals.
At that time there was in the United
Statez a total negro population of 9,s27,-
763, as compared with total white
popu,a ton of S1.731. .s57. negro per-
centage of 1917. Thus while the negroes
had "a per cent. of the criminals, they
were only 1917 per cent of the popula-
ton. The negro is thus proved to be
almost three and one-half times as
criminal as the white.

Reviving Old Plays.

Even the least interested theatre
goers who take their drama as casu-
ally as they do their dinner, without
special choice or selection, must have
observed the number of old plays
which have been revived during the
present season. And the season is
still young. Have the playwrights
been found wanting? Has the public
indicated a preference for its old
favorites? What has happened that
the managers are following a policy
which they found Improbable in the
past? What has led them to change
their old theory that it is not possible
to interest New York audiences in
plays belonging to other days?
DAVID BELAsCo began the year by
presenting "The Easiest Way" which
had not been seen here for almost
ten years and which showed that
time does not affect the values of
really fine specimen of dramatic
writing. Then he invited DAVID WAR
FIELDS admirers TO see him again

ton in "Salomy Jane" that type of
American fiction made popular by
BRET HARTE. Since the season has still
six months to run there is ground
for supposing that other old plays
may be acted again.
It is sad fact that the playwrights
this year have disappointed the man
ayers who sought to put their work
before the public. AT p time when TO

The Prevailing Language.

When so high an authority as Dr..
CHARLES w. ELIOT. Harvards presi-

the prediction that English is to be
the prevailing language il may be
regretted that he did not amplify
The statement with definition of

he used the word.
" he meant that English is to be-
come the language of international
diplomatic. juridical and commercial
assemblages, that is one thing. II he

supprant other speech as a world
wide language, that is an expansion
into pretty wide fields Of debate. II
this is his purpose there will be

Marches grand and military, serenades
and preludes sweet,
Reel, mazurka, waltz and schottische

Fantasy and intermezzo are the next

Crashing chords upon the shingles, lively
trills and semi-tones,
Furioso on the CUTTERS allegretto on the
stones,
Bursts of pizzicato music on the
streaming window glass
Rising into wild crescendos when the
winds tempestuous pass,
Swift arpeggios, quick staccatos and
chromatic scales abound
Where the watery caves are dripping

Sostenuto, adagio and a lagrimoso strain
In soft diminuendo ends the concert of

for without such code or index how
can a league candidates eligibility
be Justly determined; how can an
obnoxious kisser of girls whose cou-
sinship is only a pretty pretext be
barred from membership?
Yet, in a way of speaking, Ameri-
cans of common race origin are all
cousins in some degree; and some
bold fellow already associated in the
league, caught kissing a pretty girl,
will defend his questionable conduct
by demanding proof that the partic-

Boyhood's Own Word.
A One Syllable Substitute for the
Criticised "Aren't I?1

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The ORR

far forgot the admonition of the Prophet
as to look upon the wine when 1t was
red, and who In his befuddled state ex-
claimed "Am Ami. or am not Ami? II
am not Ami, what the devil am I?"
should have lived to-day to take part
In the great question now shaking the
grammatical world.
Are I. or are I not, right in saving
that we sadly need a one syllable word
to take the place of "am not? There
fore ask, What's the matter with our
boyhood's old friend: "ain't"? Every
boy knows what the word means and
love7 It better than any other, except
the name of his favorite yaller dog. He
Uses amt until he is taught that there
ain't no such word. Then, being forcibly
parted from his old friend, he finds him
self torn between the dread necessity of
using three words instead of one or of
being guilty Of high crime and misde-
meanor against his native language in
saying aren't II"
There is really nothing bad about amt
II might be useful in settling the dread
fu! war now being waged between aren't
T." and "ain't II"
If we In this country have not inge-
nuity enough to coin a one syllable word
to conserve the time and energy OF the
rising generation and not require them
to make the tremendous effort OF "am

amt his naturalization papers and make
him citizen of the land Of the free and
the home Of the brave. The boys will
sure all vote for him.

Alberta's Live Stock Aid.

Northwestern Canada is encourag.
ing diversified farming in a way cer-
tain to bring an increased flow Of
dollars into the pockets of agricul-
turists who at one time devoted their
energies exclusively to the raising Of
grain crops.
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta produced millions Of bushels
Of wheat, oats and barley in favor
able years. and their granaries and
elevators were overlooking with the
golden store. In periods Of drought
or when early. frosts hurt the grow
ing crops there was nothing for the
farmers to fall back on. 1t was to
meet this situation that the Govern
ment at Ottawa inaugurated live
stock breeding campaign with spe-
cial stress on the value Of employing
pure bred males at the head Of the
herds. The result has been a great
increase in the wealth Of the north
western provinces, which now boast
OF some of the best herds of cattle
and fiocks of sheep to be found any
where in the Dominion.
That the heads of the provincial
governments have taken up the work
of live stock improvement in a sub
stantial way is indicated by the fact
that the Department Of Agriculture
of Alberta paid the cost Of trans
portation of exhibits of live stock to
the recent International Live Stock
Exposition at Chicago from Calgary
and back. In addition the depart
ment offered the following gratuities
to Alberta exhibitors: $500 to the
winner of a grand championship,
5000 to the winner of a reserve grand
championship, $3.50 to the winner Of
a senior or junior championship.
800 to the winner of reserve senior
OF junior championship or a first
prize in either open classes or breed
specials.
Such progressive methods cannot
fail to stimulate live stock raising.
More and better cattle, sheep and
hogs will be produced in the Domin-
ion because of the Governments
policy.
