PALESTINE AND JEWISH cuL-
TURE

A large number of prominent Jews
in America an delsewhere cannot see
eye to eye with antional Jewish as
pirations, as expressed by the leaders
of the Zionist organization. I'VE are
Americans" they maintain. I'VE have
no other national interests than Amer
lean Jews we are only by religion. .
And dare say there are a good many
non-Jewish citizens who sympathize
with their viewpoint
Can these people be asked then to
have any practical interest in the
present endeavor to rebuild Palestine
as Jewish homeland? !,
| say, yes.
Throughout the ages Palestine has
occupied large place in the mental
ity of the Jew, as purely religious
proposition. And it does so in the
minds Of millions of Jews even today.
IL is the Holy Land, where religion
happens" So it was in the past
and it is likely to be so in the future
Ii the Jew takes root again in the
land he will create an atmosphere fav-
orable. to say the least, to religious
revival
The secular aspect of Jewish natal
ism is of quite recent date, and even
within the Zionist Organization there
is strong party. the Mizrachi, which
aims at giving back to modern Zion
ism its age-long religious basis
With the Jew. moreover, religion is
the mother of his rich and great cul-
.ure. A vast and magnificent litera-
ture, beautiful language, the Hebrew,
are the tangible values of his religious
heritage. Neither of them have ceas-
ed to develop during these two thou
sand years since the destruction of
Palestine by the Romans Their ex-
istence, however, was a hot-bed pro-
duct. tended by the deep-rooted reli-
gious instinct of the Jew, and all too

lowers.
This religio-cultural revival has
unique chance now in Palestine: and
even those who are only religiously
Jews. and remain citizens and nation
ais of their respective countries, viii
ultimately reap the spiritual benefits.
Palestine then, as a religious-cul-
tural centre for the Jew, with ample
opportunities for learning and intellec-
tual development, deserves the SYM
pathy of all people and particularly of
all the Jews, whatever political views
they may hold. The upbuilding of the
ancient land is in the first instance
an educational problem.
There is being formed an educa-
tional trust for Palestine, free from
all political influence, to provide the
financial needs for the endowment of
the basic elements of Jewish educa-
ton. The trust hopes to get the sup
port Of all those people who have
not lost their faith in spiritual values,
and who believe that the world is
still in need of some light to come out

Sometime during the next week

high grade ore will be started from
the Golden Eagle claim at Roys-

lease by George Box, Harry Cum

be in condition within a few days.
The showing on the Golden Eagle
claim, best known as the Belts
lease, IS said to be up to expecta-
tions, and in the drifts from the bot
tom OF the 53foot shaft, a full face
OF ore is exposed The ground is
now being opened on the footwall to
permit of stOping and a heavy ton
mage should shortly be in order.
The Kinkead lease on the Combi-

SILVERTON To
GET attention
ON BIG SCALE
Plans Formulating Whereby a
New and Modern Mill Will
Probably be Constructed.

Silverton seems to be in line for
a great deal of attention during the
summer. Advices from New York
are to the effect that liberal finances
have practically been assured and
that a modern milling plant will be
erected during the summer to treat
the big bodies of low and medium
grade ore that are now exposed on
the Treasure Hills property. Harry
c. Stimler, moving spirit in the
Treasure Hills Nevada Mines compa-
ny, Is at present in New York, where
he is comforting with capitalists con
cerning the improvements that will
be necessary to place the holdings
among the list OF regular producers.
Joseph Tognoni, who Is in charge
of operations, left Sunday morning
for Silverton. He stated that the
wlnze from the 1O0.foot level of the
shaft was being lowered as rapidly
as possible, and that fine body
of high grade ore is being followed,
the value of which will probably
exceed 800 a ton.
With the roads in condition the
portable compressor at the Gibralter
mine will be moved to the Treasure
Hill workings at Sllverton. and ev-
erything placed in readiness for
an intensive campaign of develop
ment.
