aims and objects of the organization
are. to create interest in the recently
established local Branch and secure adj
ditional membership
The following is synopsis of state
ment issued by the War Department
concerning The American National Red
Cross, its organization, aims and pur-
poses:
OBJECT OF ORGANIZATION.
The American National Red Cross is
the volunteer reserve emergency or
ganization of the American people to
relieve distress in time either OF war
or calamity.
The Act of Congress which incor-
porated the Red Cross defines its pur-
poses as follows:
ITO furnish voluntary aid to the
sick and wounded of armies in time
of war;" and ITO carry on a system
of national and international relief in
time of peace, and apply the same in
mitigating the sufferings caused by
pestilence, famine, fire, floods, and 9th
DEVISE and carry on l. assures for pre-
venting the same
The Red Cross, as a private organiza-
ton, has existed in the United States
since 1859. It was, however, a small
private society with Miss Clara Barton
at the head of it, having membership
of only three hundred.
In the year 1904 the American Red
Cross was entirely reorganized, and on
January 5, 1905, Congress passed an
Act incorporating the present Amer
lean National Red Cross.
The fundamental purpose of this re-
organization was to make the Red
Cross really representative of the en-
tire american people. In order to re-
alize this purpose, provisions have been
made for:
1st-A large membership.
2d-Close affiliation with the United !
States Government III the personnel of |
the National Red cross officers.
3d-The auditing of all accounts ny
the War Department, and an annual
public report to Congress.

ton by which the American people, as
whole, take charge of their public

Cross is the organization by which the
American people, as a whole, forward
relief in times of calamity. At the
scene of disaster, the Red Cross ad-
ministers the relief, and endeavors to
restore normal conditions; throughout
the rest of the country the Red Cross
is the natural and efficient channel for
collecting and forwarding the money
and supplies contributed for the suf
ferers by the disaster, by the American
people.
WITH THE GOV
EMINENT.
The close utilization of the Red Cross
with the United States Government, by
the personnel of the Red Cross officers,
assures harmony and efficient coopera
ton between the two. The President of
the Lnited States is an honorary mem
Der of the American National Red
Cross. The Secretary OF War is its
active president. The chairman and
five OF the members Oh the Central
Committee are appointed by the Presi-
dent of the United States. These mem
bers each represent one of the follow

is usually organized on such occasions,
inevitably takes some little time to
organize, and becomes more and more
efficient the less need there is for its
services. Besides, the first days of a
disaster are generally the most i'm
portant of all.
The Red Cross aims to become or
gained IN each community in advance,
with its committees and chairmen pre-
pared, and composed of men in whom
the community would have confidence,
so that either on the outbreak of war,
or IN the event or a sudden calamity,
this skeleton organization can imme-
diately spring into activity without de-
lay, and with preliminary organization
and funds provIoed for in advance,

Il DEAL MADE

ELY, New. Mar. 2.-One of the
largest deals that has been made in
Eastern Nevada for several months
vas consummated a few days ago
when a couple of Salt Lake men Sc
cured the last option TO the mineral
rights of a tract of land upon which
Lane City is located.
The men that accomplished this
merger were Messrs. Snyder and
Raddatz of Salt Lake City, who have
been employed for months in finding
the owners to the various number of
lots that are comprised in the i'm
mense tract. Altogether there are
about 500 holdings to this tract and
to secur the mineral rights at a
depth of thirty feet 1t was necessary
for these men to travel thousands of
miles to secure the signatures of the
owners of the land. This, however,
has been accomplished, the last sig
nature secured and now the Ely
Standard Copper company will be
organized to thoroughly exploit the
large body of supposed mineral
| ground thus acquired.
Altogether over a thousand acres
We're secured and it is stated from a
reliable source that the prevailing
price given was over $1,000 an acre,
together with 1000 shares of the
eompany's stock. 1t is said that the
total deal meant an expenditure OF
over 100000.
The new company is backed by
some of the most prominent mining
men in the country, it is said, and
If the m that are going the
rounds can be taken as founded upor
facts in any way. Samuel Newhouse
and Duncan McVichie, the well
known mining magnates. are the
prime movers in this new enterprise
Messrs. Snyder anc Raddatz state
that the company will immediatel!
begin operations, and that within {
few months the little city of the Ian,
will be all undermined by the work
Eings of the new company. The neigh
borhood is highly m~ineralized, anC
several large companies are WORKING
in ore on all sides of the town. Al
a result it is expected that the Stan
dard will find the whole valley t.
which they have gained title under

Big STRIKE AT
VERNON CAMP

VERNON, Feb. 2S.-A strike and
a stampede of the male population If
Loyelock to the hills at IL O'Clock at
night may result in the founding of
a rich new mining camp soIth and
east Of Vernon and the Seven Troughs
mining district. The occasion of the
excitement was a strike as unique
and sensational as was ever recorded
in the annals of mining, which
brought to light gold in such start
ling quantities that the whole neigh
borhood country was temporarily
crazed.
Arthur Bell and his brother-in-
law, William Brown. a lad about II
years old, were doing development
work on claims in the hills between
Lovelock and Vernon, when the boy
shouldered his pick and shovel and
climbed the hill into a zone of bar
rem and very %forbidding looking
granite. Thinking the locality favor
able for a fortune, he struck his pick
into the ground and began to dig.
The pick stuck, and in w%renching it
loose he was startled to see free
gold adhering to the point. Almost
inoapa NTH avoifamopt ha eot1od thc
shovel and cleared away the debris
that concealed a tiny stringer of
quartz that was literally half gold.
Coarse gold in nuggets and wires and
fakes covered and permeated the
quartz. A pick and shovel piled BY
a lad who was fairly intoxicated with
excitement soon opened up an eigh
teen-inch stringer of this character.
Boulders of quartz as big as the
two fists lay revealed glittering win
incrustations of yellow metal. A
large broken boulder Of this kind
was picked up and the two parts held
firmly together by the wires of gold
t1at passed from one to the other.
Selling several specimens, the boy
rushed to his brother-in-law and the
two entered Lovelock and showed the
sparkling treasure TO a gaping throng
of men In a few minutes the large
crowd had quietly escaped from the
various exits of the saloon. Horses
were appropriated from the livery
stables without notice and in less
than half an hour men were racing
through the moonlight for the scene
of the strike. At the discovery hole
crowds gathered and took turns with
the pick and shovel left by the ex.
cited boy, filling their pockets witt
the richest ore ever seen in a region
that has lately become famous for Its
rich ores. Before 10 o'clock mex
day a great deal Of country had beer
located, and subsequently tents have
dotted various parts of this area ant
digging is going on in more than A;
score of places. Assay eturns JUST
fy the belief that the area Of enrich
ment is wide.
One of the results of the excite
ment is the sale Of the property OF
which the strike was made to Utal
people for the sum, it is said, o
$4,000. The transaction, however
is kept a profound secret. The hole
from which several sacks of speci
mems were taken. in addition to tn,

the crowds on the night followini
the strike, has been carefully covere'
up by the new owners, and a writ

Mining CAMP
S. LUND OF MASONIC GIVES HIS
VIEWS IN SAN FRAN
CISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2.-S.
Lund. known to Nevada mining men
as the Mayor OF Masonic" is a late
arrival at the Hotel Savoy.
Lund went over to Nevada last
year as assistant chief engineer of
the Virginia & Truckee railroad.
Then he opened an Office of his own
in Carson City as a civil engineer.
In the course of his surveys OF vari-
GUS mineral sections he happened
upon what he decided was a pretty
good thing. and grabbed 1t, stalking
out and otherwise acquiring a total
OF fifteen claims along a rocky ledge
in and about the new camp at Ma
sonic.
Masonic" said Lund, has
aroused a good deal of curiosity
among members of f~raternal orders
who are wondering just how it hap
pened to get the name. Wen, the
town is named for the range of
mountains, and an Indian told me
that the mountains were named by
an old settler and people who re-
membered him tell me that he was
a Mason. So much for the name.
Masonic is situated mostly on the
California side of the line. 1t is in
Mono county, about fourteen miles
northward from Bodie and about
half way between Bodie and Bridge
port. which is the county seat. Bodie
has been a mining town for more
than thirty years, with a force OF
men continually operating deep into
the vein, which until the recent dis
coveries all over Western Nevada
was supposed to be an isolated de-
posit OF gold with nothing else like
1t in all that country. Thirty years
ago Bodie was a boom town. a bad
man from Bodie' was a common ex.
preston. Bodie has caused a wllt
rush of ~gold-seekers until the,
learned that II was a deep quartz
proposition for capital and no place
for the poor fellow with pick anC
pan.
Masonic is up 5000 feet abov,
