DEATH STALKS
OVER EUROPE
(By United Press.)

PARIS, Sept. 1.-THE retreat of
the German right is reported as fast
becoming a rout, with rations and am
munition exhausted. The worst cen
ter fighting is in the Argonne district.
The Germans have retired before
sezanne and vitry. They are rein
forced but are unable to resume the
offensive anywhere. The predictions
are that the government will return
here soon. The northeast Paris first
and second British cavalry divisions
are assisted by the Franch cavalry and
the artillery has cut overwhelmingly
into the German force at their former
base. They are routed and half are
killed or wounded. Six thousand pris-
oners and fifteen guns were taken and
il is reported the prisoners are starv
ing. They devoured British beef and
biscuits ravenously.

HUMBOLDT IN
SPLENDID SHAPE

Senator w. ,. Bell, when seen this
morning, had this to say:
"The Buckskin National Gold
Mines company is showing, under de-
velopment, much improvement and
fully justifying the endeavor we are
making to attain fully mine of
quality. The north drift at the 240
foot point is in ighgrade ore and in
the south drift we have another ore
shoot that breaks one dollar a pound
ore. The situation for us is very flat
tering and an assurance that mining
is a good and paying investment.
"In my travels to and from the
mine / have occasion to observe and
note affairs and prevailing condi-
tions. The Paradise and Quinn river
sections, from a farming viewpoint,
are a great demonstration that the
state of Nevada is great in diversifi-
ed opportunities. Through these val
leys there is a proof of wealth in
farming. The crops are great. The
people are all busy garnering their
crops and in every direction there is
prosperous connection that makes
prideful the real Nevadan. As a
fact for wealth, for opportunity and
for an expression of good contented
people there is no better section of
the country than Humboldt county.
Those from Missouri only have to go
and see and they will be shown all
these things

J. H. Bruce, a Surprise valley
rancher who Is in Winnemueca today,
had a somewhat tragic experience
some days ago, a short distance from
Gerlach.
The Bruce ranch is about 30 miles
from Gerlach. Bruce had occasion to
go to Gerlaeh. In making the trip
with two-horse team he had to pass
along one of the hot springs in that
section. A bridge spanning the stream
from the edge of the hot spring was
open. The horses on the edge Of the
bridge SHE'D and jumped over the side
os the bridge into the hot spring,
with the result that both horses were
scalded to death. Tn the leap they
threw Bruce, hanging to the lines,
clear over the horses onto the lands
edge, with the exception of one fot,
which was submerged in hot spring
water and severely scalded.
The loss of the horses aEd the
scalding of the Bruce foot are grim
reminders that the hot, bubbling wa
ters of the Nevada springs have
lurking danger well worth guarding
against at all times.

IN THE WORLD OF MIN
ING THERE Is PROGRESS

100000. That is a Gold Circle merit
and worth the game.
Mining pays. The 100000 profit
was made by about $4,000 expendi
ture, mainly in paying miners wages
for the purpose of exposing the pretti-
est and most perfect continuous ore
line of high grade ever opened in
Nevada.
It Tells the Prosrector's View.
Barney Snow, the successful and
old time prospector and miner, is in
Winnemucca from the north country.
He halls this time from the Leonard
Creek -Gurney Gordon section of
Humboldt county, which lately has
bursted forth as such a rich section.
Snow Interestingly recited showings
and proofs of the Leonard Oklahoma
direction. His story is from what he
has seen is that George oRse, Moffatt
and Alley have a tunnel On their
placer ahead and are into the gravel
which literally pans the gold and are
not vet in reach of the channel for
which they are driving; that Fraser
Brum and Lee Curren have a fine
placer digging and in prospecting are
taking out much better than days
pay; that Gordon and Garrett, in
Cove canyon, have trenched in numer-
Gus places on their large number of
claims and wherever they have done
this are getting free gold in the pan,
proving the workable value of their
fine mine making ground. This prop
ertv has large quartz lodges stained
with hematite and all pans free gold,
hut likewise has in numerous cases
much ore which does not pan but as
saws $40 to $50 ton; that he HIM
self has a group of claims adjoining
the GordonGarrett showing and has
proven two ore shoots which carry
high values in copper, gold and silver,
making cobbing product that aver
ages better than $3.50 per ton.
AS an experienced prospeetor Snow
pronounces the north country a
section of exceedingly fine showings
and of great opportunity to make
money.
LOO Foot Tunnel
Roy Gear is in town from National.
Gear is driving tunnel for the Stall
Bros. on the Canyon creek side of the
National district. The tunnel is aim
ed for contact on Buckskin noun
tain and has attained a bore into
Buckskin of LOO feet. A couple of
hundred feet more will touch the con
tact and it is believed that the
source of the rich float which was
shipped from there years ago will be
discovered The float shipped ran
as high as $4,000 a ton, carrying the
most values in ruby silver.

Sam Flynn is indefatigable; he runs
business, rustles money for mine de-
velopment and homesteads 100 acres
of land. He is always on the go and
is one of those human dynamos who
will win, for his great energy win
bring him results. His mining ven
lures particularly on the National
Buckskin mines area are beginning to
bring returns. They are in ore there
and the showing is such at present
that it is not amiss to say that Sam
Flynn will one of these days occupy a
relative position in the knowledge of
the mining world the same as Flood
