NEVADA CHINA CLAY
IS Of HIGHEST CLASS

The Empire China Company, which
few weeks ago purchased from N. e.
Williams and Thomas j. Parker of
Las Vegas kaolin deposit claims To-
Gated in Lincoln county, is making
| preparations for a big china factory
at Burbank, Calf In a recent issue
of the Burbank Review the following
! appeared, which gives some idea of
, the big undertaking of the company:
One of the institutions which will
no doubt be big factor in making
Burbank known the world over as
manufacturing city was started last
Tuesday, which actual work on the
first unit of the Empire China Com
panys factory was begun. The unit
which is now being built is just south
of the Southern Pacific tracks and
east of the highway crossing.
l. Rohrer lands, general manager
of the company. has been here for
several days attending to the pre-
liminary work. He expects to have
home in Burbank as soon as the
builders can get a house built for
him. One house is now under con-
struction, and will be occupied by
John Rowe, the superintendent, who
Is now in the East buying machinery
and making arrangements to send
about one hundred and twenty people
here to work in the factory. Most of
these people whom Mr. Rowe is ar
ranging to send here are people who
have followed chinaware making and
are skilled in their line. 1t is esti-
mated that about rs per cent of these
people will bring families, and of
course will add a nice population to
cur city.
The plans of the company call for
an expenditure of S250.000 on the fac
tory and about 100000 on the first
unit When completed there will be
the administration and factory build
ing two stories high. 140x350 feet.
and n sagger and matchmaking build
ing 50x200 feet, which will be a one
story building. There will be seven
kilns. of the 19-foot-diameter size,
which should be in operation within
five months from the time work was
commenced.
The kaolin (china clay) will be
shipped from the mines in Nevada,
located along the Los Angeles & Salt
Lake railroad. Analysis and tests
mace from the deposits there nearly
two years ago led to practical tests
in china kilns and systematic re-
search work, covering a period of
eleven months at a cost of several
thousand dollars.
The research work was carried on
by skilled chinaware experts of long
experience in china factories in the
United States and Europe The re-
suit was that from this china clay is
now being manufactured a grade of
chinaware and translucent semipor
celain which, in compactness, strength
and whiteness equals any of Its kind
heretofore produced in any part of
the world.
The Empire China Company has
market practically assured for all its
products the year around. as the de-
mand for the chinaware mostly used
by the restaurant and hotel trade is
greater than the supply and from all
indications will be for some time to
come.

What is to be thought of it is very
different matter. Here at least it may
stand without comment"
THE above excerpts are from chap
ter reviewing Beethoven's life down to
the early years of his sojourn in Vienna
reaching a period little later, the
author says.
"And his hearing-how was it with
that? A question not to be answered
to full satisfaction. 1t is clear that
the 'Notizen' of Wegler and Ries, the
Biography (drst editions) of Schin-
der, and especially the papers from
Beethoven's own hand printed in those
volumes, have given currency to q very
exaggerated idea of the progress of
his inhrmity; on the other hand Sey-
fried as evidently errs in the other di-
rection; and yet Carl Czerny, both in
his published and manuscript notices,
goes even further. For instance, he
writes to jain: Although he had
suffered from pains in his ears and the
like ever since 1900, he still heard
speech and music perfectly we'll until
nearly 1872 and adds in confirmation:
AS late as the years 1S11-1812 I studied
things with him and he corrected with
great care, as we'll as ten years before
This, however, proves nothing, as Bee
thoven performed feats of this kind
still more remarkable down to the last
year of his life. Beethoven's Jeremiad.
the Testament of 1902, is one extreme;
the statements of Seyfried and Czerny
the other; the truth lies somewhere
between
In June, 1901, Beethoven is "obliged
to lean down to the orchestral rail to
hear a drama" The next summer he
cannot hear a flute or fife, to which
Res calls his attention. In 1904, as Dole
zalek tells jain, sin the rehearsals to
| the 'Eroica' he did not always hear the
wind instruments distinctly and missed
them when they were playing" The
evil was then making, if slow, still
sure progress. "In those years." says
SCHNEIDER, there was a priest named
Pater Weiss in the Metropolitan Church
of ST. Stephen who occupied himself
with healing the deaf and had accom-
rlished many fortunate cures. He was
not mere empiricist, but was familiar
with the physiology of the ar, and
effected his cures with simple remedies,
and enjoyed a wide fame among the
people, and also the respect of medical
physician our terrified tone poet had
also intrusted his case TO the priest"
Precisely when this was is unknown; it
could not, however, have been until
after DR.. Schmidt's treatment had
