OUR VETERANS

When we wonder that even so
many veterans as there are
survive the years that have passed
since the close of the Civil war we
are reminded that that terrible
conflict was waged for the most
part Oy mere boys.
Figure from the war depar t.
men; ptnlishnd in connection with
the discussion of proposed pension
legislation show that of the total
enlistment of 2,278,588 on the
Union side practica ly all were
boys. Of this vast number only
$4,000 were over ~ years of age.
Around million were between IS
and Fl. Exactly 800. 900 were Is;
while 100000 Of those who joined
the ranks to fight for the preserva-
ton of the republic we're only 81
years old; 900 were Is, and
many were as young as l3, enrolled
as drummer boys and attendants
upon commanding officers.
Such was the composition of the
army that fought under Grant.
The solGiars who closed the war
with him at Appomatox were
veterans then and yet their average
age was scarcely twenty-five. On
the southern SIDE the troops we're
even younger.
1t is difficult to reconcile these
facts with the story of the strug-
gle, and yet we must do so. Boys
fought the battles that have gone
down into history as the most
de: perate conflicts in which civil.
zed armies have ever engaged.

were almost beardlcss.-Sacra

WILL HAVE BIG PRODUCTION

Churchill county's mineral
production during the year 1912
will be close TO one and one half
millions of dollars. This estimate
is based upon what we can CLEAN
Of the production Of the county,
two operating milling plants
without taking into consideration
the third which will be erectt d by
the Jack Pot company with
valuable properties at Hercules
which upon completion will make
two great milling plants for the
Wonder district.
The Jack Pot mill will probabl y
cost its'builders around $500, 0, 0
and like the Nevada Hills and
Wonder Milling company plants
will be a model of mechanical
excellence.
The estimate on next years
mineral production lin this county
will be sustained without doubt.
This paper has no inside figures
but we are sure that the annual
report of the operations of the
two mines now being exploited will
fully coroborate it's figures.
The augmentation of general
prosperity to the Truckce Carson
project from the working of these
great properties is almost incaIcul-
able. Take the tcaming opera
tions out of Fallon at the present
time alone. The three companies
concerned in this sketch pay out
easily $4,000 monthly for hauling
from this great distributing point
to their properties. The Nevada
Wonder and Nevada Hills are i'm
porting around 200 tons monthly
while the Jack Pots incoming
freight will soon greatly exceed
this tonnage reaching its maximum
throughout the mill construction
stages.
To build a mill in the isolated
sections of this country me. MS that
a sum approximating onc-half of
the mills total cost is disbursed
for teaming and mill labor
charges. All of this money goes to
add to the county's trade balance
so its Importance can be readily
seen.
After all it seems that the old
bon days haze Dall productive
of much good for this county.
With three great producing proper
ties and more to come later the
results have really been great
