Announcement that R. P. Burris,
formerly chief deputy in the office
of the secretary of state at Carson
City will be candidate for nomi-
nation for secretary of state, was
made today through the state Demo-
cratic organization. Mr.. Burris
communicated with Charles L. Rich
ards, chairman Of the Democratic
state central committee authorizing
him OF make the announcement,
says the Gazette.
Burris' candidacy is destined to
become one of the most interesting
phases of the primary campaign in
view of his former relations with
George Brodigan, the incumbent,
who will seek reelection. Several
months ago, Brodigan precipitated
a political sensation when he re-
quested his chief deputy's resigna-
ton. There was never any ex-
PLANTATION offered for this action
but it was generally known that the
two men had not been on good
terms for some time. Since then
Burris' friends have been urging
him to become a candidate.
Burris, who is familiraly known
as Bubbles" is a Goldfield man
and has for several years been in
the service of the state.

MILLER IS OUT
FOR CONGRESS

Formal announcement of his candi-
dacy for the Republican nomination
for Nevada representative in con-
gress was made today by A. Grant
Miller, Reno attorney, in a letter
to H. E. Stewart, chairman of the
Republican state central committee.
Col. C. H. Moore of Reno an
nounced his candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for the same
post several weeks ago, while on
the, Democratic side, Charlas l..
Richards and Senator II. w. Huskey
are seeking the nominations, with
Gilbert C. Ross, state bank ex-
aminer, also expected to be in this
race.
Mr.. Miller's announcement is as
follows:
"Although it has been generally
known for some time that | would
be candidate for the party nomi-
nation for representative in con-
gress, it seems proper that ] make
formal announcement at this time.
During the last few months |
have made careful inquiry through
out the state in order to learn the
sentiment of the party and de-
termine the feeling as to my being
a candidate and as to the prospects
of my success if nominated, and |
feel justified in now offering my
self to the party at the primary
election as such candidate.
Believing most earnestly in a
sound monetary system, adequate
tariff protection and genuine Ameri-
canism as the fundamentally great
questions and an economic admins
tration of public affairs with just
recognition of the rights of all citi-
zens, l realize that continuation
of our party in control of our gov
eminent is vitality necessary to the
prosperity of our country, and |
hope to be of service to that end
in the coming campaign, and that
whether | am nominated or not"

CONSOLIDATION Of
SIMON PROPERTY

A movement of vast Importance
to stockholders in the various ST.
mon companies will be submitted
at meeting called for July 10, to
vote on increasing the capitalization
Of the Simon Silver-Lead Mines
Company from 100000 to 49,
100000 and to consider and, act
upon a proposition to purchase
with the increased capital stock the
Simon Sterling Mines Company, the
Simon Contact Mines Company and
the Kirk-Simon Smelling Company.
A circular sent to the stock
holders sets forth the reason for
the proposed merger as the fact
that the orebodies of these COM
panies are practically contiguous
and all interests are identical. The
Simon Silver-Lead consists of 10
patented claims with a largely de-
veloped silver-lead-zinc orebody, OPP
Grating a reduction plant at which
all metallurgical problems have been
solved. The company is sinking
new three-compartment shaft.
The Simon Contact consists of six
patented claims adjoining the north
east. The Simon Sterling COM
prises four claims on the north of
the parent company. The Kirk
Simon Smelter holding is at Harbor
City, Cal, that is being equipped to
treat zine ores. The directors Of
the Simon Silver-Lead have agreed
on the following ratio of exchange
Six shares Simon Contact for one
of Simon Silver; Is shares Sterling
for one share Simon Silver and two
and one-half shares of the smelter
for one share of Simon Silver.
The circular also sets forth that
an underwriting has been arranged
to complete the new working shaft +;
to carry on important development;
to complete the purchase of the new
smelter at Harbor City; to enlarge
the concentration at the Simon Sill
ver-Lead property to $50 tons daily
and to provide adequate working
capital for the enlarged opera
tion.-Tonopah Times.

THE MISSION
OF MUSIC

There has been a world brain
storm. The atmosphere is clearing
and people are becoming more
rational and natural, but there is
still much unrest.
Otto H. Kan, the banker, made
speech recently when Emusic
Week" was inaugurated in New
York City. Mr.. Kahn is banker
who knows something besides
money; he believes in making good
music available to all people, for,
he says, "The lives of the great
majority are cast upon back
ground of sameness and grind and
routine"
1t is not hard to lift ones arm
and to hold it out straight. But
no more cruel punishment could be
invented than to compel one to
stand for hours with an arm held
out. That is what Mr.. Kahn thinks
is happening in society, fguratively.
The great mass of people do the
same thing day after day, year
after year. They have too little
variety, too little joy, too little to
anticipate.
Many become dull and listless;
some become desperate and do wild,
absurd and wicked things. II be-
lieve," says Mr.. Kahn, 8" that some
of the restlessness, of the turmoil, of
the lawlessness, even of the crime
of the day, arises in measure
from reaction against the hum
drum-ness and drabness and lack of
inspirational opportunity of every
day existence. l believe that much
can be done by art and particularly
by music, to give satisfaction to
the natural and legitimate desire
for getting away from the unrelieved
dullness and drudgery, and to lead
the strong Impulses underlying it
into fruitful, instead of into HARM
full, or even destructive channels"
The power of music to influence
the emotions of the individual long
has been known. The Greeks re-
cognized the effects of music in the
formation of character and at one
time tried to prevent youths from
hearing music thought too be in
furious. It is well that in these
modern days thought again is given
to the subject. The movement to
make all people familiar with the
great MASTERPIECES of music is
needed at the moment. The faeili-
ties for music in the homes are un-
surpassed music in public gathering
places is common and the miracu-
lous radio is broadcasting music
everywhere.
At such time it is peculiarly i'm
portant to emphasize the music of
greatest value and of most bene-
fetal effect. The nerves of the ma
tons need the soothing influences
of harmony.

BOOT BLACKS
WELCOME

One of the leaders of the Boil
shevists in Russia slurringly speaks
of the United States as a place
where "every bootblack still imagines
he will become dollar magnate. .
Well there are lot of them who
have done it--have accumulated
enough with only bootblack start
to make them independent for the
rest of their lives, and the man who
has enough for the rest of his life
is just as well off as Rockefeller
Ford or a Rothschild. The boot
black in America has assurance
that if he earns money and saves
some of it, the law will give him
every possible protection in the en-
joyment of his savings. No such
encouragement is held out to any
man in Soviet Russia. No wonder
there are MILLIONS of people in
Europe clamorng for a chance to
come to America.

NAVY SNoBS GET
A. T. r. RERUKE-

The official rebuke administered
by the acting secretary of the navy,
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, to the
editors of the Lucky Bag" the
year book Of the 1922 graduating
class at Annapolis, would have done
credit to his father.
The insults publicly offered one
of the members of the class, Leon
ard Kaplan, were at first supposed
to be directed against his race. The
victim and his friends apparently
incline now to a different belief,
which they adopt all the more easily
because it transpires that on a num-
Der of previous occasions the cadet
year book has singled out this or
that fellow cadet to be abused in
malicious lampoons. On these pre-
vious occasions the victims were
Gentiles; the attacks are therefore
apparently not due to racial malice.
Whatever the motive, the practice
calls for the indignant contempt Of
all decent people. Secretary Roose-
welt told the responsible editor on
the present occasion "Your action
casts grave doubt as to your pos
session of those qualifications es-
sential to any officer in the United
States navy" The rebuke added
that "the department will require
from you in the future evidence of
a Fundamental change in your at
titude toward your companions in
the SERVICE"
This was the right way in which
to appraise the offenders of the
seriousness of their misconduct. If
they are so lacking in high principle
as not to be aware intuitively that
the command of ships is no post for
blackguards they need to be told in
that Illuminating style Of speech
which is rightly called Rooseveltian.

BURIES TWO MINERS

TONOPAH.--Considered certain
to be dead, Otto Johnson and John
Wicklund are buried in mine at
Manhattan, victims of cave-in
which occurred about May II.
A rescue crew has gone to the
mine, but it may take days to reach
the bodies, as the drift in which the
men were working must be timbered
for long distance.
Evidence of the cavern was not
discovery until a day or so ago.

Tho Gandhi himself and the ma

THE severe simplicity and austerity
of Gandhfs life. combined with his
appeal to the principle of 'Ahimsa'

extreme Khalifat demands has ensured

so AN AMERICAN DID 1T.
Everybody Else Seemed Afraid to Xii
This Mexican Bandit.

Mexico City. June "a bandit who
for more than three years has led a
rowing band of marauders thru the
Tampico oil fields, was killed the
other day by one of his own country
men who refused to believe that Monte
Michaels, six shooter in hand, was on
a friendly mission when he attempted
forced entrance to the headquarters Of
a petroleum camp.
Monte, a hard-hitting and straight
shooting American, came to Tampico
several years ago, ostensibly to work
in the oil fields. He tired of drill
ing and pumping and started out to
gather some of the plentiful gold by
means of the familiar stick-up system.
He prospered and he gather fol-
lowers.
Two years ago a price was set on
Monies head by the International Pc
troleum company-$1O, 200 gold for
him, dead or alive. Monte answered
the challenge by holding up a pas
senger train at 'Chorreras, Tamaulipas
and bagging enough money to keep
him and his followers for months
Other charges of banditry have been
made against Monte but no one cared
to match him in gunplay to gain the
reward.
Several days ago, however, Monte
entered an International Petroleum
company camp near Zacamixtle and
finding the door of the headquarters
office barred against him, he drew his
gun and demanded admission. An
American, name not given, quietly
opened a side window and filled Monte

quite a bunch. In the bunch was
one Of the reporters from Carlisle,

At the end of the days work Gloria hnstened tO find Herb. leaving Virginia to find
