The municipal Sunday closing or

tutional and void in a voluminous
opinion read from the bench by Judge
Moran in the district court this morn
ing, says the Gazette.
According to the court. the ordin-
ance is discriminatory and class leg
islation, and contravenes the state
constitution in that 1t is a special law
covering the operations of grocers
and fruit merchants where a general
law could be made applicable.
The ordinance, which was approved

THINKS POLICE At
TONOPAH NEEDLESS
tFrom the Carson AppeaD

iFrom the Carson AppeaD
Efficiency is the supposed slogan of
big business. mining as well az pack
ers, or anything else. There is a slip
in the gear at Toncpah. The starting
of the mines under the supervision Of
the state police has made a showing
of work just shadow. up to the
present time. A measurement of eff
ficiency was taken It the Tonopah
Extension a few lays ago under the
new men imported and under state
protection. 1t was shown that II re-
quired two men to break one ton of
ore. At the West End, which Is work
ing under the old scale and with old
hands. eighteen tons per man is being
broken.
Big business said that IL had to re-
duce wages to make ends meet. I'm
der the above figures, which are re-
liable, the ends are meeting about
mile apart. What is happening at the
Extension is also the daily grind at
the other properties under state po-
lice supervision. The wages have
been cut about 25 per cent and the
production about 100 per cent
And. by the way. what became OF
all the disturbances that were beyond
the local officers control at Tonopah?
II sounds as though the first report
was right and that Nye county could
not stand the drain and the state is
financing the Mine Owners Associa-
ton as against the miners.
Apropos of the so-called disturb
ances in Tonopah, the story of one OF
them reached this section the other
day. 1t seemed that former bar
tender, well known in the southern
camps, continued at work when all
of his comrades left the mines. One
day, a couple or three weeks ago. he
was standing at some point on the
main street. Near him were two
young kids, and one of these said to
the other: DO not get too near that
fellow or you'll get scabby."
The man reached over to hit the
boy. when couple of striking min
ers, standing near by, grabbed him
and in the melee that followed little
blood was spilled. but no one was
hurt and the scrimmage did not be-
come general. II was something liable
10 happen at any time.

LETTER SENT MOST LEARNED-

Vice President Coolidge recently re-
eeived letter dated at Atlantic City,
which he declined to accept, and the
Senate postoffice officials sent 1t to
the press gallery as the next most
likely place The letter arrived in
Washington under special delivery
stamp and bore this inscription:
"To the Most Learned Member OF
Congress. in care of Vice President
Coolidge. Washington. d. c."
The Vice President Is too wise Q
statesman to attempt to determine to
which member of Congress the letter
properly belongs. A note on one cor
ner of the envelope reading "If not
claimed In three days please deliver
to the editor of the leading Washing
ton, d. C.. daily newspaper" was in
strumental In getting II into the Gus
tody of James Preston. superinten-
dent of the press gallery. but that
wary official promptly declined to de-
eide which was the leading news
paper of Washington. The letter will
be sent to House officials in the be-
lief that 1t rightly belongs there.

When the welcome news reached us
here from Chicago yesterday after
noon, to the effect that William ].
Bryan had received the nomination
on the Democratic ticket for president
of the United States. many shouts of
"Hurrah for Bryan" rent the air, and
faces beamed on every side. The
grand old American flag was hoisted
in honor of this event, and was fioated
magnestically from the courthouse
dome. In the evening display OF
fireworks took place and other ddn-

NEVADA MINES NOT
PRODUCING AVERAGE

Continued from Page one)

and June. Men were brought in from
other camps. but many of the mines
and mills we're idle The quantity of
gold obtained from copper ore will
be decidedly less in 1921 than in 1920.
as the mines at Ely were idle after
March. The output of gold from
Jarbidge and Gold Circle. in Elko
county. was being upheld. and the
dredge at Dayton in Lyon county was
active. Mining and mill building were
progressing at Virginia City, but the
output from the Goldfield district con-
tinued to decrease, and the Techatti-
cup mine and other producers in
Clark county were idle.
The production of silver in 1920 was
7,74o,093 ounces, valued at sS.442.151
an increase from 6,s63. $50 ounces in
1919. The strike at Tonopah and
Divide will certainly reduce the out
put of silver in the state for 1921, as
the production was small In May and
June. In 1920 Nye county produced
1903. 9ST ounces of silver, most of it
from mines at Tonopah. The Tono-
pah Divide niue, in Esmeralda coun-
ty, was idle early in the year. as the
custom mill at Millers was closed on
account of the labor strike. The ca
paeity of the Mexican mill at Virginia
City. has been increased. so as to
treat more customs ore. as develop
ment continues to open the ore bodies
of the Comstock Lode. At Rochester
the Nevada Packard mill was idle
until May, but the Rochester Nevada
Silver mill was being operated with
only slight Interruptions. In Lincoln
county, which produced 567,67S
ounces of silver in 1920, ore ship
ments were curtailed during the first
half of 1921.
Nevada produced 50,559,763 pounds
of copper in 1920 and 52,331,175
pounds in 1919. The Nevada Con-
solidated Copper Company produced
about 100000 pounds of copper in
the first three months of 1921. but
closed its mine in April, and the Con-
soldated Copper-mines Company, near
Ely. closed its mine early in the year.
The shipments of copper ore from
other camps of the state were irregu-
lar.
The output of lead in Nevada in
creased from 15,349,370 pounds in 1919
to 21,263,700 pounds in 1920. The low
price of lead, and the expense of
shipping and smelling lead ore. have
reduced the shipments during the first
half of 1921. The Yellowpine mine
at Goodsprings. the Spruce Monarch
in Elko county. and the Nevada United
mine in White Pine county were idle.
In Lincoln county considerably more
ore was shipped from the Bristol Sill
yer mine, but in general less ore was
shipped from the districts near
Phoebe. From the Eureka district
much speiss was being shipped, but
less lead ore.
The output of recoverable zinc in
creased from 9,004.69S pounds in 1919
to 10,69S, O4O pounds in 1920. The out
put of zinc In 1921 will be unusually
small unless market conditions i'm
prove. Most of the ore containing
zinc comes from the Yellowpine dis
trict, in Clark county. The Yellow
pine mine, the states largest pro-
Queer of zinc, was closed early In
1921, and no zinc ore was being
shipped from Ely. in White Pine
county.
In the early part of 1921 dividends
were paid by the Tonopah Belmont,
Tonopah Extension and Tonopah min
ing companies.
